driven by c. IL. Judd; Octoroon and
Hero, driven by Sam Grgsby; Sadie

and billy and Lustre, driven By G..

After several attempts the field got
away well together, Grlgsby had the
pole, Monsarrat second, Bellina third,
and Judd fourth. At the eighth it was
Grigsby by a length, Bellina second,
Judd third and Monsarrat trailing. At
the quarter Grigsby still led, but Judd
had made up a lot of ground and vas
barely half a length behind. Passing
the three eighths pole, Judd was over
length in front, but came back TO
Grigsby before the half was reached,
At the half 1t was Grigsby by neck,
and at the five furlongs Judd by the
same distance. Just about here the
Octoroon-Hero combination did some
circus work which, though pretty, UNI
doubtediy injured their chances of win
ming the race. Judd passed the three
quarters mark four lengths ahead of
Grigsby and retaining his lead to the
WIRE won easily in 2:57ts by over three
lengths. Grigsby, who was coming
right along at the finish, was second.
Monsarrat finished ten lengths behind
Grigsby; he and Bellina practically
ceased to be contestants at the half
mile having their hands full with
troubles of their own.
A dash of three-eighths of a mile
brought out as starters Nunes' Manu-
,cli, with Silva up; l.. q. Maitlands
Mystery ridden by Donahue, and An
drade's Waipahu, ridden by Clarence
Richardson. Mystery was faVorite, and
by long odds the best locker on the
field. Wapahu, OH badly, passed the
six furlongs pole n head In front of
Mystery with Manuleli last by length.
The journey down the stretch was n
horse race with both boys logging;
Mystery could never quite get on terms
with Waipahu VINO won driving by
neck. Time, 39A. Manulelrs perform
ance Is attributed to the Board of
Health's report on the insanitnriness
of the Kcwalo district where Nunes
horse does his morning gallops.
WRipahu, who according to reports
current before the race, had until last
week been furnishing the motive power
for q plough on plantation, must be
added to the ever increasing danger of
good things" which have caused the
bullion of the cant be beat" contin

rections.
