WON BY GLADYS
Time at Kapiolani
Park.
Cunningham Had Everything His
Own Way-Large Crowd
Present.

The race between Tom Hollinger's
Margaret H. and Billy Cunningham
Gladys at the Kapiolani Park race
track yesterday afternoon was nothing
more than what was expected. 1t was
predicted by those who know a thing
or two and have been watching Mar
garet HIS movements very carefully.
that she would be sure to break while
making the turn after the start That
is just what happened in the first heat,
and Gladys, true to predictions by the
same observers, went on her way I'M
moved by the movements of her antag-
onist.
There were nearly 800 people out to
see the race, among the number being
liberal sprinkling of women. The
judges chosen were Captains Trip and
Quincy. The bell for the first heat was
tapped shortly after o'clock, and the
horses appeared on the track, ready for
the fray. Following are the points of
the race by heats:
First heat-An even start, with
Gladys at the pole. Both horses hold
ing well to it, Unfortunate turn for
Margaret H. She ceases her steady
gait and gives herself up to a deter
mined break, while Gladys sails on
ahead, putting a greater and greater
distance between herself and her OPP
pOnent. Margaret II. gets down TO
work again, but it is too late. After
leaving the half she breaks again, and
after leaving the three-quarters, Cum
ningham holds Gladys back. Margaret
II. comes or a steady break almost to
the line Gladys wins easily by all but
walking under the wire Time: 2:51.
Second heat-Both horses get an
even start, and it is evident from the
beginning that the heat will be a close
one Margaret H. does not break at the
turn and hangs to Gladys as if on bust
ness bent. The grey manages to keep
just so far ahead and goes along at
steady clip. From the three-quarters,
the pace is much swifter, but Gladys
is too swift, and she keeps just far
enough ahead to assure her the race.
Gladys passes under the wire about
length ahead. The heat is a most in
teresting one from start to finish.
Time: 2:32 Is
Third beat-It seems to be the Opin-
ion of quite a number that Margaret
II has settled down, and that she will
pull out in the latter heats. The bell
rings, and the two horses look in fine
trim. At the first off, Margaret H.
breaks just as she passes under the
wire. The second trial results in a
fair start, and the horses go out with
every prospect of a close heat. How
ever, at the dangerous turn, Tom HOl-
linger held his horse to avoid breaking,
and the road is open for Gladys. She
takes advantage of the opening and
leaves a broad. bare space behind her
for Margaret H. to fill up. There is
no fill up. and Gladys come along an
easy winner Time: 2:351A.
There was at least one interesting
feature in connection with the race.
Information was sent to headquarters
to the effect that there was a case of
cruelty to animals ripe for investiga-
ton at the track. It was reported that
the hobbies used on Gladys had
chafed the animal badly and that she
was in no fit condition to be put on
the track. Captains Parker and Rem !
ken made an investigation, but found |
Gladys in perfectly sound condition.
Betting at the track was very light |
indeed. Dollars and half dollars were
about all in evidence.
