workout.

on the oath inst.
The heavy rain on Sunday temporarily
suspended work at the track. If no more
rain falls, horsemen will be able to re-
sumo operations tomorrow.
The Nirgie a and Aggravation people
We're to have met yesterday afternoon
for the purpose of posting forfeits for
a match race at six furlongs. AT the
hour appointed the black mare was un-
represented.

| Leah worked a mile on Sunday in
2:54h.
| Hollinger's unknown galloped a half
recently in :531a
| Amarino was taken to the track yes
| terday
| The track of the Maui Racing Asso-
| citation is being put in condition and a
fence erected around it. Training will
| be commenced soon.
OF the racing game in Hilo the Irib-
une says as follows:
| Mr.. Mckenzie manager Of the Vol
cano Stables and Transportation Com
pany, will go down to Honolulu for the
June races, taking with him ten OF
! twelve head of racing stock. mostly
| runners. The larger number of THESE
| animals have been brought down by Mr.
Mckenzie from the Coast, but among
| those known to Hilo race goers are
Cronje and Tom Ryoer. Mr.. Mckenzie
hopes while in Honolulu to make definite
| arrangements with the Honolulu racing
men for full representation from the
! Capital City at our July Fourth meeting
! Mr.. Mckenzie is no less enthusiastic
| over Hilo races than the former mana
ger of the stables, Mr.. Wilson.
The track at Hoolulu Park will be al
J tered somewhat in shape, and made
more oval than it is at present. Com
mencing at the seyen-eighths it will be
nearly straight to the finish instead OF
having its present abrupt bend right OPP
| posite the entrance gate near the upper
end of the grand stand, as now.
81 shall not put up any of my horses
to compete for the prizes offered by the
| Volcano Stables Company" said Mr..
! Mckenzie. If any of the visitors want
| to pull off some match races with me We
will arrange for those on a separate day.
But it don't loon we'll to put up horses
! to compete, as it were, for my own
prizes, and I don't propose to do it,
! Mr.. Mckenzie is arranging with the
Burns Club for Scotch games and ath-
letics to come in the intervals between
| the races, as these waits are often wear
| isome.
| 1t is hoped to have three days Of rae
! ing here on the Fourth, just as there
/ will be three DAYS in Honolulu on June
| 18th. This will give opportunity for
regular scheduled races for prizes on
! Thursday and Saturday and matched
races on Friday The practicability Of
| this will depend however, somewhat
upon the arrangements which can be
| made with the Wilder Steamship Com
| pany for Honolulu and Maui people. AS
| one of Georges ancestors is the patron
1 saint Of Hoolulu Park it ought not to be
/ difficult to arrange for this.
The Horners and other residents to the
northward of Hilo have already signified
their intention of coming in with their
Arabs and there seems no reason why
1901 should not have the banner race
meet in the history of Hilo.
