bleaking against the rocky coast, anC
the spectacle presented was one of eX'
treme grandeur The mountain break
ers roared along leaving in their wakes
flowing names of spray which the SUI
touched and with magic power trans
formed into a thousand rainbows. The
old natives on board said that this
phenomenon was in honor of the Queen
and was always in evidence in tina,

With the kawaiahao Club on board
the ship lacked nothing on the score

instrumental, being rendered all day

Queen Liliuokalani stood the journey
exceedingly well. spending the greater
portion of the time on deck in the COM
pany of Mr.. and Mrs. w. Aud. Dur
ing the trip the Queen wore a holoku
of red material, plainly made. She and
Prince David partook of meals served

hey and Waterfall. The stock without
exception had an excellent passage and
were landed safe and sound
Hilo is all agog with the anticipation
of three full days of racing, and alrea-
dy the town is full including Demosthe-
mes, Central and Rainbow Hotels. The
racing starts on Christmas Day but the
real influx from the surrounding coun-
l., l,n hn n
try folks naturally prefer to spend
Christmas Day in their homes and to
visit Hlo for New Years Day. In view
Cf this the executive committee has
framed its strongest card for that day.
The fields on that occasion will also
be larger as Albert Horner of Kukaiau
is expected to send consignment from
his ranch to participate in the sport of
January LIST and I'd, as are several 9TH
Ell owners.
The Hoolulu Park track has been
greatly improved since last July and
ia now fast for half mile track and
quite safe. Some of the severer gra-
dents have been modified and much
necessary banking has been done. Con-
siderable facing has also been added
and the result is a track that will not
"kill' a horse which happens to run a
little short in condition OF not blessed
with the best kind Of legs The infield
has been entirely cleared and is now
covered with nice growth of grass,
making an ideal place for baseball.
The paddock has been introduced to
a drainage system by which after a
heavy rain the water finds its way to
q depression in the center: by this
means there is always circle of
ground around which horses may be
walked after the severest kind of
storm. This is a great advantage, as
there is now no need to seriously sus-

count of climatic conditions. There is
no stable room to be had at the track,
every stall being taken. The following
horses are stabbed there and are eX-
pected to run in the coming races.
