This removes the only possible real
competition of the black OF course
Cyclone could get into the rs class but
he would make a show of that field
So it may happen that some OF the best

on Saturday he is alleged TO have turn
ed the last half in 1:04 but watches

something still in him.
The 2:3O class viii. or should, make
one Of the races of the day. There are
such good ones as Billy Lemp, Oak
Grove. Jim Jeffries, the green wonder.
and John Hollis mare Ado, though this
animal is not improving at all and may
fall out. Jeffrfes is going right wen
now, Oak Grove has shown % and the
race should be a corker.
In the rs class there are just as good
prospects for at least three good ones

working well, Wayboy, while not in the
pink of condition, is showing some Of
his old speed and Nettie H. is close to
good, getting down about 20 in work so
far. It is thought Abdine will be saved
for the Gentlemen's race later.
The Hawaiians will go for the Cali
fornia Feed Co. cup in good shape even
If Boswell should not come down The
best of them all so far is Isenberg's
Thelrna. This mare is taking to work
kindly, is going easily and has a rare
turn of speed. This is the only one
of the probable entries that does not
have a leg in the cup. Leahf is not

THE RUNNING RACES.
On the face of the showing now the
mile running race alone will repay any
visitor for his time and expense on race
day 1t will be a triangular fight, with
the best boys in the Territory up on
the best horses, in training, or at least
so known now. Weller is a little short
Of work but he is going well, his legs
are seemingly perfectly sound, he
shows no i'll temper and has a burst
Of speed now and again. Carter Harri-
son, according to report from Hilo, is
a star, faster than ever and true as a
dollar 1t is reported O'Rourke wants
to bet 81, 900 on his pet. Then comes the
new one, Racine Murphy, the Kauai
wonder, which has had a few races dur
ng the winter. Murphy is doing well,
kindly. And on Saturday do
ng the mile in :471A with it's mouth
vide open. If that is not trio fit to
ace for a cup then there has not been
uch trio. in Hawaii recently.
For the short distances it will be
argely a question Of placing. The |
printers will be MoIlie Connors, Virgie |
\, Philip. Breuner, Aggravation, with |
perhaps one or two others, and then |
Dixie Land will go for the long routes, |
With a chance that Racine Murphy |
nay try that trick too.
The Gentlemen's driving race may |
ause some little trouble, for there is |
n element in the club which wants to |
'ar from it all horses that have entered |
or purses on that day. This would |
.eep out Los Angeles and Oak Grove. |
here may be polo pony race too.
The Jockey Club is expected to meet !
his week and decide on the programI
nd conditions.
