HILO. June 5.-The lively state OF
affairs at the race track promises the
best race meet here July 8 and 4, in
the history of the ace track. Mr..
O'Rourke who goes to Honolulu today
in the interest of the Hilo racemeeting,
says there will be more horses here
July 4, than ever at the Hilo races
before. The problem of stable room
for all of them is now being solved by
the management.
Among the horses now in training
are a lot of new ones. Horner has
four new Hawaiian bred horses at the
track which are showing up well in
the hands of their trainer. McLennon's
Rejected and Frank S. are coming
along in good shape. Carriers Ranch
is represented by Defender and three
others, a bunch that will spring some
surprises on race day. Philip. Carter
Harrison and Dixie Land are doing
good work.
The Honolulu crowd will bring with
them Weller, Racine Murphy. Molly
Connors, ~Aggravation and others.
Several harness horses are in train
ing.-Tribune.
GOOD BASEBALL.
Baseball is on its feet in Hilo. There
are not numerous ball teams but they
play the game well. The people who
have gone to the ball games have not
met with a disappointing moment. The
game on Decoration Day between the
Hilo Railroad and the Waiakea mines
was witnessed by a large crowd. The
game went to Waiakea with a score
of 10 to 6.
Sunday afternoon the most interest
ing game of the season was played
between Olaa n the Beamer Spe-
Gals. For several innings the score
stood a tie and was a tie in the last in
ming and up to the last batter who had
two strikes aainst him. At this critical
juncture, Green who was at the bat,
struck a two Dagger and brought in
Thos. Nahiwa from second base, win
ming the game by a score of Z to 6. The
battery for the Olaa team was Jackson
bat. Ragsdale and Williams pitched for
the losers and Solomon did the work
behind the bat.-Tribune.
LET OFF WITH A FINE.
A Japanese was arrested last week
for putting distractions on the track
of the Hilo Railroad between Hilo and
Waiakea. The offender is the pro-
prietor of a Japanese bath house and
gets his supply Of salt water from the
bay. He put a plank across the track
and wheeled a barrow containing a
