The Hawaiian star. [volume] (Honolulu [Oahu]) 1893-1912, 1902-07-07

The Fourth" of July celebration at
Hilo turned out an eminent success
from the accounts of all those return
ing. The two days racing was up to
all expectations. The mile was left
out on the second day owing to We'll
ler's lameness, and one or two other
events were perforce left off the actual
card through lack of entries. There
was plenty of sport and amusement
left in the events that were pulled off,
however, and the crowd at Hoolulu
Park were well satisfied
On the morning of the Fourth
there was a big parade with some
elaborate floats in line, representing
the Goddess of Liberty, Kamehamehd
V. and other subjects. A number of
the younger japanese and Chinese res
idents in military formation formed d
feature Of the parade, which started at
10 o'clock in the morning. With Tom
Fitch as the orator. literary exercises
were held and enjoyed at the hotel.
Besides the racing, there was a big
| baseball game between Honolulu and
| Hilo, won by the Honolulu nine by a
score of eighteen to two. A polo game
! was also included in the general pro
| gram of amusements, also some excel
/ lent music furnished by local must
clans.
On Friday, the Fourth, general at
| tentiOn centered at HOOlulu Park for
| the racing, as soon as the parade and
morning exercises were over. The rain
! had left the track, which is mainly
| black sand, not in the best of condi-
| ton, although it was not particularly
slow. Interest heightened in the race
between the king and queen of the turf,
! Weller and Del Vista, who ran to u
dead heat in Honolulu last month,
| though many thought the mare was
| ahead on the wire, Weller won handily
this time on the half mile track, but
secured his victory at the expense of
a bow tendon. Many horsemen predict
that the sorrel stallion will never run
in a race again with any satisfaction.
He was Withdrawn on the second day.
The honors were divided between Sam
go and Wayboy, each winning a race
on either day. IN attempt was made
for another match, but was not con-
summated. They may meet on July Is
during the Merchants Fair in Homo
lulu. A novel race occurred on Satur-
day after the regular card when three
Hawaiian ladies rode in competition.
Ida Akau secured the prize, young la
dies named Mollie and Rose taking
second and third honors. The track
was better on the second day.
