STABBED At
THE TRACK
Many Animals Are
Already in
Training.

The annual meeting - the Hawaiian
Jockey club was held nearly six weeks

been the case. and already the god

of March saw the stalls empty, the
paddock deserted. and a general air
OF desolation everywhere. This year
however, all this Is changed, and al
ready a dozen or more horses are sta
bled at the track. and the business OF
conditioning them has commenced IN
earnest.

and at Hilo last season. Red Pike"
O'Brien and Ike" Sullivan are also
reported to be headed this way.
The prospects for the coming season
appear to be very bright, and there
should be fully as many horses enter
ed as was the case last year. Indeed.
II looks as IL there would be more
harness entries this year than for sew
eral years past. G. S. Mckenzie was
in town last week from Hlo. and as
good as said that he would ship his
stable here for June II, and the other
Hilo owners are pretty sure to follow
his lead. Colonel SpaldinE was also In
Honolulu recently, but would not com
init himself as to whether the kealia
horses would be here or not this sea

Among the trainers now at the track
is the veteran Jack Gibson, who Is on
the turf again, after a lapse of two
years. He is looking after a green bay
PAGER belonging to Seeley Shaw. which
is being logged along at S-minute
clip. He has also a green Creole pacing
mare, half sister to Edith II, which
won In the Hawaiian bred class last
year. The mare is the property OF
