Hilo's races have been everything
that could have been desired. Sur
prises were furnished in abundance.
Close finishes were the usual occur
renee. and out of it all the favorites
came on the lucky end of the string
in the majority OF cases
Wayboy proved to be decided dis
appointment In the first days race.
the horse was beaten by Violin in a
slow mud singing race Wayboy was
up in the air most of the way around
the farmer driving him being UNI
able to handle the horse at all Way
boy was backed to a finish by the bet
tors. and his defeat proved to be
quite a downfall to the talent.
Molly Connors proved to be another
disappointment Everyone expected
TO see the game little daughter of
Frair Tuck-Clara L win the short
races but Frank S proved too much
for the sorrel FLY. Miserably ridden
by Piggott. Molly Connors got the
worst of the start twice and trailed
clear to the wire In the first race.

Molly Connors quite easily coming in
three lengths behind Frank S. who
won in soy In the three-eighths
dash the same performance was re-
peated. Frank S finishing lengths to
the good In 1854.
BY the time the second half-mile
dash was announced Molly Connors
had been relegated to the field,
Frank S being favorite. with De-
fender second choice. A change
of riders probably did the trick.

The ball which wound up the day.
festivities on the Fourth of July resem-
bled a scene from the Arabian Nights.
A large pavilion had been erected in
front of the Hilo Hotel. affording am
pie accommodations for the crowd
which thronged the floor. Fully one
hundred couples danced to the dulcet
strains of the native quintette club
which was in attendance. The young
ladies who were present were mostly
attired in cool. white gowns which
stood out in sharp contrast TO the
black conventional attire of the gen
tlemen.
A refreshing breeze from the ocean
kept the heat from becoming OPP
pressive and everythina in Ma
ture seemed to lend its aid TO make
the dance the crowning success of the
DAYS achievements.
The late festivities have served &c
iispell the illusion that Hilo is a
lay town for no one could complain
OF a lack of entertainments during the
last few days.
