Race Which Is Now Off,
Albert N Disappoints.

The local racing season has been pro
coded by an occurrence as mysterious az
it is unsavory and which it is incumbent
on all lovers of clean sport to do their
utmost to clear up.
On Sunday morning Mr.. George r. Car
ter, who is one Of the signers of the con-
ditions for the special gentlemen's driv-
ing race which was to have been held
next Monday, took his horse, Cocoa, to
the race track for the purpose of work
ing out After having worked mile
heat Mr.. Carter gave his horse over TO
Jack Gibson, who in turn deputed one Gf
his assistants to rub him down. When
the horse had been properly taken care
of he was hitched up to the buggy and
tied to a tree and his owner went away
for an hour On returning to the pad
dock he noticed nothing amiss, and 1t
was not until the homeward journey was
fairly under way that signs OF lameness
manifested themselves. Mr.. Carter,
thinking the horse might have hit him
self, paid little attention to what he con
sioered a trivial matter, but closer ex.
ANIMATION revealed a blister on the OH
hlnd leg, which has since developed into
a serious matter, and which has resulted
in the writing of the following letter:
Honolulu, June 5, 1900.
D. p K. Isenberg, ESQ.,. Secretary lid

has been struck out
i Larry Dee is sore about the chang

saws it does not give Albert Nj. a chance
to earn his training expenses. Mr.. De'
was present when his horse worked-ou
yesterday morning and was so disgustet
i with the exhibition that he was w1thlt
an ace of ordering HIM tied to his car
and leading him home Second thoughts
prevailed, however, and he will probabl,
enter his horse in the 3-minute class IL

chances if shipped to Hilo.
