DOCTOR MAKES A SPEECH
First Meet Of the Honolulu Driving
Association on Saturday
Successful.

Fun both fast and furious held sway
at the Kapiolani Park race track on SAT-
urday. when the Honolulu Driving Asso-
citation made Its maiden effort at bringing
on a couple of races. That the effort was
a pronounced success was the opinion Of
all who went out TO sec the horses.
The first race was for roadsters labeled
'2:io class" and three equines whose
names have become household words of
late faced the music. They were Mon
goose. driven by G. III. Judd: Billy. with
NJ. Digs behind. and 'single optic Sa-
die. with c. II. Beliina In the cart
They got away well for the first heat
and at the quarter Mongoose led Billy by
a couple of lengths. with Sadie way be-
hind. Billy was closer up at the half, but
broke badly when well up to the leader.
Sadie waited for II TO get cooler. Mon
goose was leading at the three-quarters
by four lengths. but Billy was coming
again at considerable of a clip; he could
not catch the trough on rats" horse. how
ever. who won by two lengths In 2a3.
In the first heat OF three-mlnute class
race occurred the circus. Lady Light
foot, driven by G. n. Bellina: Pat, piloted
by G. III. Judd: Bones. operated by Deck
er. Jr.. and Charley. steered by DIR. Mon
sarrat. were the contenders.
After n hundred yards or so had been
traversed. Bones boy. who had the pole,
pulled wide at the Identical moment that
Monsarrat. who was No. z, was bent on
taking advantage of an apparent opening
TO secure tho second position. The re-
suit Of the maneuver was disastrous to
the Doctors bike-suiky, which looked like
gents shirt-waist that had passed
through a Kansas tornado, when the pro-
cession had untangied itself and swept on.
Aonsarrat returned to the judges stand
and started to explain how II all came
about. The crowd In the grand stand for
got all about the race In the greater en-
joyment OF listening TO and watching the
doctor. Some one In the stand yelled out
that the doctor was to blame. and he
then and there made an impassioned
speech which brought down the house and
caught on like n new step In n cake
walk. a theatrical gentleman called
"Asthorr' and the entire crowd rose 70
tn feet and vociferousiy demanded an en-
core. Monsarrat responded gracefully
and delivered an grafton on the ethics OF
driving which was worthy Of being pre-
served. and which. n II could be repro
duced on a photograph. would assuredly
become historic.
Meanwhile the horses were well on their
way. Pat. who was hoppled. led at the
quarter. with the ungainly but withal
stifty Bones two lengths behind and four
lengths ahead of Lady Lightfoot. These
positions were maintained at the half. and
the three-quarters saw Decker's horse al
most on even terms with the leader. In
the stretch Bones made n squirt but did
not rattle 20 advantage, breaking. OF
"crapping." as II were. at the crucial mo-
ment. and allowing Pat TO make his point
IN 2.5i. Lady Llghtfoot tarried by ths
white convolvuli patch.

himself In making the first turn was
