OF THE DAY.

winner by FIVE lengths, with A. F. Ellis
worth second and Dan Smith third.
Time, 1888 sa.
The quarter-mle bicycle race for
boys under sixteen was even easier for
George Madeiros. He hit 1t up from the
mark and his opponents were lost in
the dust behind before they realized
what had happened. Madeiros came
down the stretch working as hard as IL
it were a neck and neck scrap. winning
by fully thirty yards rom George Go
mes, who was second. with a wheels
length over Joe Decker, the third man.
The time as given out was 40 seconds.
FUNNY SACK RACE.
After the bicycle races there was a
long interval before any of the sports
committee braved the wrath of the
horsemen to attempt any more events.
Then they got out about twenty small
youths with sacks, and wrapped in
these they hoped or rolled down the
stretch and little Charlie Ensue fell
over the line an easy winner, with
Thomas Nahiwa second and Kelii Ka-
pahi third.
The same crowd Of small boys, jab-
bering excitedly in languages lined up
for the fifty-yard race for boys under
twelve years of age. En- Gee. smart
and speedy little Chinese boy proved
the winner. Manuel Camasho.a young
Portuguese being second, and Kama.
a Hawaiian, third.
PLATs THE FASTEST APPREN-
TICE. ..
The apprentices furnished a good
race. A dozen or more Of them. chosen
from every craft in the city, lined the
scratch and Fred Plats won as he
pleased. Charlie Ensue being second
and John Hau third. ]. ]. Ryan won
the old mans race with ridiculous ease.
His length Of limb gave him an advan-
tage which the others did not possess,
and he needed but about half dozen
strides to cover the whole course. He
came Looping down the finish as though
wearing seven league boots and had
lengths to spare over the others. p. F..
Dillon and T. Sinclair had hot scrap
for second position, running neck and
neck and shoulder to shoulder all the
way. Dillon managed to get one should
er ahead of Sinclair at the finish line
and was given second prize.
PRETTY GIRLS RUN.
Helma Carlson, pretty little damsel
with flowing locks. was the fleetest Of
the little girls under fourteen. She flew
down the course like small Diana
with little Nora Casta close at her size,
winning by a scant foot or SO. Mary
Aylett. a charming little dark-eyed
Hawaiian girl with mass of black
hair streaming over her shoulders, was
third.
w. B. Hopkins ran good race In the
contest for boys under eighteen anu
won by bare foot from the irrepres-
third.
Helen Murray, a little girl with a red
lei around her shoulders, scarcely r-u-
der than the roses in her cheeks, won
the race for girls under eighteen. She
could scarcely lay claim to more than
thirteen years but she was far and away
faster than the others and won w!thoot
half trying. Hilda Smith was second
and Mary Aylett third.
EXCITING RACE BETWEEN ME-
CHANICS.
The mechanics race was exciting.
Will Lucas won the first ,ryout as he
pleased, turning to shake hands with
the others as he finished. but 1t appear
ed that he was ineligible ana he was
disqualified. In the run over George
Campbell and A. Mitchell had 1t mir
and tuck and 1t was hard TO choose the
winner. the judges decidiag on Camp
bell. He had scarcely q handsnrea'1.n
over Mitchell and many thought the
latter should have been given the deci-
sion. M. Thomas was third.
A special race for member, OF the
Honolulu Driving Association caused
some amusement. but most Of the mem
bers backed out and could not pc drag
ged to the scratch. 40 1t was easy for
Will Lucas, L. w. Mesrn being secoi'd.
THE hundred-yards open had q large
entry list. 30 large that many who
might have had chance were crow0sd
Into the throngs which lined the course
and had no chance to show up In front.
C. II. Wilsey. a slender young man VINO
came out In regulation running cos

taking second money and Antoine Kaoo.
otherwise known as the Waialua Cana
