"a FIFTH a SERIES OF events which
VAI would do credit to one OF thr
w stated meetings OF the year. thu
special racing day of the Hss~
waiian Jockey Clubgsr on the 40
casion of the opening Of the Merchanszf
Fair, will appeal to the lovers OF TeaA
fast going on the oval. There are en-
tered In the ten races to be decided thls
afternoon the cream of the local ami
mails and after / o'clock there win he
nothing doing at the race course hut
trotting, pacing and running, with .
little betting on the side,
The Merchants Fair race day prurA-,
ises to show to the people just bVw
many good horses are owned and fbs
best things that may be expected 81
them when they are specially prepared
for a days racing. There are few ami
mails of high quality except Of couThs
the greater runners and the free for an
horses which win not be on the track
and, according to the opinions Of race
goers, there will be such close finishes
that the fact that the time is not fast
viii more than be lost TO sight u
the merit OF the contests.
There Is not single race that may
be said to be mortgaged. The polG
event, the first on the card, will bring
four horses together, with each -hav-
ing a chance for the cup. The fsvorifs
is Jim Crow, the first black of MadduH.
but Kalihi. DR.. MeAdory's pony, has .
great chance and Picker's Geishs IL In
shape should be well at the front
OF the runners who Will go the hail.
N
pany. there are as many persons fav--
oring Racary as are behind Amarinet
while even the impost OF 125 pounds
does not discourage the friends or thf
game mare, Connors, for the throS-
quarters dash.
Nettie II. is looked 20 win the hT1
mile dash. though why Dusire 10
thought 10 be out OF II Is a question
The old horse was first on the previous
occasion OF their meeting. and from tbf
way Wisteria went she should be In tht
first contingent. especially as the mars
will be driven by J. &. Quinn. IN tbf
second OF these events Creole rs fiiclke6
by the talent on account OF a showing
IN recent trials.
The event fun Of interest will ise THAI
which Is down on the card as thr hftb.
called "A gentlemen's riding race TOR
members OF the Jockey club. The faca
is that some OF those riding are hardly
members YET, DIT InttF noEStH stlf =
owned and they will give an exceilena
race. The best horse I'm the lot seem1
TO be CoIburns Folly. but Hogan's en-
try and Chillingworth's pair are fees
animals. The race is no cinch for any
one and the sport Will be Of the vrry
best in seeing the scramble.
The Patrolmen's race Is too hare
for picking, but the horses are hard
after their constant use and there WIZ
be some good racing even If the tim
were better untaken.
The mile dash in seventh place lookS
well for Madeline, though Walter ~
may be kept on his feet and so make y
interesting. The same Kind Of race az
the ninth will bring out the best class
horses OF the day, but with Davis NJ
Edna G. should be too fast for the con-
pany.
The tenth race, for the cowboys VII
be well worth seeing and the fact that
the changes Of horses take place beror.
the stand will add to the Interest IN th~
event.
Altogether there Will be many good
things in the days going and the han
holiday will make the opportunity <"
see some things out Of the ordinary ap-
peal to the men who will be on GUY
for the occasion.
