Two Bicycle Events Repeated on Ac.
count Of Time Limit.


dance at hapiolani park last Sat
urday afternoon TO witness the
races given under the auspices Of
the kapiolani Park Racing Asso-
citation. The Government baud
was in attendance. With the ex.
ception of a strong wind the day
was fine. The races were not up
TO the standard but whether il was
on account of the track, which
appeared to be heavy, or the con
ditlon of some of the horses, il is
hard to tell. The finishes were
anything but close except in the
eighth race where Sympathetic
Last stumbled in by a nose not
withstanding the efforts of his
jockey to hold him back.
The first event was a bicycle
race for professionals which was
run under a time limit. The mile
distance was made in 2:30 l-5,
Jones romping away from the
Others on the last quarter and
winning as he pleased. The race
was not done in the time specified,
so ii was run over again and the
limit raised to 2:35. Jones re-
peated his previous performance
and won by about ten lengths in
2;29I.
Race No. 8 followed the first
race. 1t was another wheel race
and L. V. King, following Jones
example, simply ran away from
his competitors in 2:40 l 5. This
had to be run again also with a
greater limit. The second heat
King won by about three feet from
Ludloff in 2:4l.
No. 2-Running race, three
eighth mile, for Hawaiian bred
horses. Joe Daniels, Twinkle,
Boston and Fashion faced the
starter. After one false start
they We're sent off with Joe Dan
iels a good three lengths in the
lead. He was never headed and
won in canter in 80 seconds.
The start was a very ragged affair,
considering there were only four
horses to get going.
No. 81. l.. McCandless' bay
mare Irish Lassie threw dust all
over the favorite Violin in the B.
minute class for trotters
and PAGERS. 1t was best
two of three heats. In the first
heat Kaiulani, supposed by many
to be dark horse, WAS distanced
and shut out of the race. Irish
Lassie, well handled, won the first
heat in 1928 and the second and
race in 2:32 Is.
No. 4-Half mile dash, free for
all, brought out Royalist, Joe
Daniels and Twinkle. They went
off in bunch SO close together
that a large blanket might have
covered them. 1t WAS a very
pretty start. They kept together
to the three quarter pole and
then Royalist was given his head
aud ran in winner by several
lengths. Time 81 seconds.
No. 6-The Union Feed Co.'s
$50 purse was run for by Royal
ist, Sympathetic Last aud Magnet
in three quarter mile dash. 1t
was another good start. At the
half Sympathetic Last had lost
several lengths, and Royalist and
Magnet had it out neck and neck
to the stretch, from where the bay
mare, Magnet, was whipped home
and won handiIy. Sympathetic
made up the ground he had lost
and coming through on the inside
beat Royalist for second place.
Time I:l79.
No. Free for all trotting and
pacing. Mile heats best three in
five. Creole, Telephone and Wela
ka Hao started with the last FAMED
well in the rear. Telephone went
off her feet and could not get
down TO business. Creole had the
lead from start to finish. 1t looked
like Wela ka Hao's race several
times, but it was not hurdle
race, and she had all she could do
to keep from winning. Time of
first heat 2:44. Wela ka Hao took
the next three heats and race in
!, 1888, 2:34, 2:34 l-5. Telephone
was withdrawn after the first heat.
No. Stunning race, mile dash,
free for all. Magnet did not start.
Sympathetic Last and Joe Daniels
got off well and made slow mile
OF it to the last quarter, where
