The HAWAIIAN DERBY DAY
This Eleventh Proves a Successful One
in All Respects.
Attendance Quite Immense Weather All Right
Races Were Lively and Square
Absence Of SQuabbling.


Club on Saturday showed the in
terest that the public of Honolulu
takes in the sport. The grand
stand and clubhouse were packed,
the private boxes were all occu-
pied, the field was crowded by
parties in carriages and the fence
all around was occupied by dead
heads. All roads led to the IA 9
course Saturday, and as early rs
eight o'clock the crowds began to
arrive. They came on horseback,
in carriages, on bicycles, cars and
afoot.
The day was completely favor
able, being cloudy with a cool
breeze blowing. The manage
ment may well feel proud of the
way everything went off, the only
thing to he criticized being the
poor facilities for announcing the
decisions of the judges and the
time. The races were good,
the absence of squabbling
over decisions was a great reli-f.
