FOR
LABOR DAY
Extensive Program Is
Arranged.
CRACK HORSES ARE TO RUN
Admission to the kapiolani Track
May be Free and Purses
Liberal.

Everything appears to be going on nice {
ly as far as the horse-racing part of the
Labor Day program is concerned. Own
ers are keen over the matter and have k
promised to literally support any events
which may be numbered on the program.
About twenty horses will probably run
out in the different races, and such ;
number is ample guarantee of excellent
sport. The Driving Association is right
in line and it now awaits the action of 1
the Labor Day celebration committee in
regard to the matter.
If the Labor Day people have enough
funds at their disposal to hang out purses /
and pay for the track being put in order, I
the grand stand will be thrown open to I
all free of charge. If, however, the Driv- |
ing Association is obliged to provide their |
own purses, it will be necessary to make
small charge for admission to defray
the expense. Should the Labor Day ath-
letic program be run in conjunction with
the horse-races and the labor people put
up the athletic events prizes and the Driv-
ing Association, the purses for the horses,
a charge for admission will be made and
a proportion of the proceeds turned over
to the Labor Association.
| 1t is to be hoped that the first PROPOSE
| ton will prevail and that there will be
| a free gate. The workingman looks on
| the day as a picnic and wants to take
his wife and little ones down to the track
to see the fun. If he has to pay for ad-
mission, his days expenses, including
transportation back and forth. will foot
up unproportionately heavy.
| The following horses are expected to
participate in the Labor Day races: Dan
MCCARTHY, Mongoose, Albert NJ, Silas s.,
Lustre, Directress. Irish Lassie. Octoroon.
Antidote, Brock, Sir Casimir. Venus.
Fred. Eros, Billy V, Aggravation. and
MANI others.
There is every promise of the athletic
events of Labor Day being we'll filed, de-
spite the fact that the schools and col
ileges will not have assembled by Septem-
Der Sd. Members of the various branches
of labor contemplate competing In nearly
all of the events and the old-timers are
Hunting up their spiked shoes for a chase
down the track. 1t is more than likely
that the sports will develop athletic
prowess hitherto unsupported

flly by Brock out of Rosebud, will arrive
