FOR TWO IN Three
Change in Rule of Har-
ness Racing Urged.
Long Drawn Out Events Have Be-
came TiresOme-Has Been
Reform Elsewhere.

The Hawaiian Jockey Club will be
asked TO mako an important change in
the method Of light harness racing be-
fore Kamehameha day comes around
1t is urged by some leading turfmen
and patrons that the three-in-fve plan
has been tried until it has grown
threadbare The best two in three
heats is now being advocated by these
gentlemen.
That the public viii endorse such d
change is quite certain and a promi-
nent member of the jockey club said
yesterday that the club ought surely
to take cognizance of the public's tastes
in horse racing, especially at this par
ticular time.
The spectators are ever anxious to
secure quick action" continued the
same member ''They do not care to
stand or sit while the horses are scor-
ing by the hour. Only a few years ago
heat racing among the thoroughbreds
on the Pacific coast was considered the
only test of a horses stamina and
speed, but it was found impracticable,
and people would not attend. The in
stitution of dashes by the Blood Horse
Association, met with marvellous sue
cess in and around San Francisco.
cit is my firm belief that the trotting
horse men in Hawaii are not willing to
stay in the same old groove. The pro-
posed change means considerable to
them. Their horses will not get
knocked out so quickly, for they will
not be so severely trained as if it is
intended to give each and every horse
five or six killing miles in every race
they start. And then again, the public
will be protected from any fraud that
may be perpetrated by some driver
who holds his horse in until the third
or fourth heats, in order to fleece the
innocent ones.
eve, in Hawaii, are left to our own
resources to make the race meetings
interesting. Our little community has
revive am interest in horse racing,
which was once powerful here, the
jockey club should cater to the public.
The time has arrived when we should
endeavor to make our races attractive,
and 1 sincerely believe that the adOp-
ton Of the two-in-three plan for light
harness racing is a good step in the
right direction

He had a spirited horse in

near the Widdifeld home when the
animal jumped and landed on the
