breaks and events not on the program
was the order of the day at Kapiolan
| park yesterday afternoon. The traci
was fast, the wind light and everything
combined to make the first real Labor
day grand success.
John Quinn. the hackman, gave al
exhibition of nerve and grit that viii
| long be remembered by every one OF
| the spectators that visited the track
yesterday. 1t was during the second
heat Of the 2:40 event. Quinn was
warming up Fred Eros and was coming
down the stretch with the speed oi
an express train when suddenly ths
right rein parted and all control ol
the horse was gone. Quinn was nm
dsunted, however, for carefully plac-
ing the other line where it would no;
get beneath the wheel, be leaped
astride of the horse and firmly grasped
both lines. Just as the horse was IN
der control. Captain Fox of the mount
ed patrol came galloping up and
frightened the horse so that he leapcd
forward with redouoled speed, throw
ing Quinn to the ground. Besides q
few bruises he was unhurt. The spec
tators, who had watched the exhibition
in silence, broke into shout of joy
and tho ayix- oil ta5
praise for his cool action.
Another eventful race was the three
eights mile running race between Mys-
terry and Maunoleli Nichols was up
on the latter and Donohue rode the
former. There was some talk of a
job, but before the jockeys could be
changed the animals had started Up
to the first pole it looked decidedly
as if the fears of foul play were well
grounded, for Mystery hung two
lengths behind, while less than two
weeks ago she beat Maunoleli by five
lengths. AS they turned into the
stretch Nichols suddenly swerved and
pitched heavily to the ground. His
stirrup had broken and given him a
nasty fall, but only few bruises re-
suited from the fall Maunoleli con-
tinued on down the course, but by this
time Mystery had picked up and fin
ished yard ahead of her riderlsss
opponent. At this point Captain Fox
took hand in the race, but Maunoleli
was too speedy for him and not until
the three-Quarters pole was reached
was he able to catch the animal. The
race was declared of.
There was considerable dispute in
regard to the winner of the 2:24 trot-
ting and pacing race. Silas s. won
the first heat in 2:26. defeating Albert
NJ. by two lengths and Lustre by five.
In the second heat they got away after
considerable fiddling, Silas S. taking
the lead at once by about three lengths,
Albert>M. second, with Lustre break
ing six lengths behind. Thus they
went close to the half, when Albert
NJ. forged ahead and took the lead by
a margin, but only for a time, fer
when the three-Quarters was reached
Silas s. again led by about half a
length. At this point Albert NJ. went
into the air twice in quick succession,
making gains which sent him under
the wire in the lead. c. H. Judd, the
driver Of Silas s.. entered protest,
which was sustained by the judges,
Albert NJ being set back to second
place.
In the second heat of the free-for-sll
James Quinn handled the ribbons over

Lustre broke at the start and Gibson.

her down throughout the whole mile.
Quinn did not wait. but started right
out and finished without a break in
