Track.
.LUSTRE WON ON SUNDAY
The Live Gossip Of Sport in Homo
lulu and on the Other
Islands.

Races at the Kapiolani Park track l
drew a goodly number of the sportively l
inclined waikikiwards on Saturday af-
Considering the proportions and re-
spectability OF the crowd. money was
tight. There was little or no speculation
on either race, which is remarkable
after the spirited wagering which
marked last Saturdays race.
The harness race came first. The
starters were Charlie Belliiia's Lustre.
G.. IL. Judds Nongoose, Larry Dee's
Octoroon. and IL. Armitage's Billy. Lus-
tire and Mongoose were driven by their
owners: Sam Grigsby piloted Dee's
mare. and Nj. II. Diggs handled Billy.
Prince and Bones were slated to start,
but at the last minutes their owners
renigged. The judges were Drs. Mon
sarrat and Shaw and Mr.. Edmunds.
After scoring a time or two they got
off TO a splendid start. Ltstre broke
badly I'm the first eighth. at the first
quarter IL was Mongoose by two
lengths, Billy second and Octoroon
third. with Lustre lengths i'm the rear
So they ran to the half. Passing the
five-eighths pole Mongoose looked to
have the race so well in hand that Of
fers of even money against the field
went begging. At this point Lustre
commenced to close up gaps, and at
the three-quarters had overhauled the
rest of the field and secured the lead
with Mongoose second and Octoroon
third. Lustre maintained his lead to
the finish and passed under the wire
two lengths In lead of the fast coming
Octoroon. Billy was good third. Mon
goose shut up at the head of the
stretch. Time, 2.371A. The first quarter
was gone in 40. second in 1.21, third in
2 minutes. fourth in 2:37k.
The race was exceedingly evenly
rated, as a glance at the figures will
show. Lustre's remarkable pickup was
the feature. Octoroon ran bull fat, but
made a very favorable impression by
her style of going. She was not hustled
along inconveniently.
The second eruption of speed was a
three furlongs dash between ]. A. Nu-
mes Manuleli and Lady NJ. owned by
Queen street horse shoeing syndicate.
They ran for 800. Manulei had Fears
on top, and a native gentleman named
Maunakea performed on the other.
Manuleli was So favorite and no
Lady NJ money was forthcoming, which
proved a bitter disappointment to the
hackers of Manulei. who had hoped on
this race to recoup themselves for their
losses OF the previous Saturday when
their plans went wrong. Johnny
Wright waved the flag.
ManuleIi led from the start. Coming
into the stretch Lady MS boy made use
of her, and she struggled to get on
terms with the leader, but without sue
cess. Manuleli won pulling up by
4 three-quarters of a length in 80. The
| first eighth was run in 1874, and the
second in 25 seconds.
After which the crowd talked horse
for some time and then returned to
town to ratify.
After Lustre won his race on Sat-
urday some one enquired his breeding,
and a wag in the crowd replied: by
Good shine out of Sapolio, with a dime
tip thrown in for the bootblack-" The

The Saturday Derbies at the track are
rapidly becoming a feature in local
sport. and there is promise of a pleth-
ora OF small races in the immediate fu-
ture IL rumors of challenges go fol
anything. Here are some of them:
