FOR A MAUI STABLE.

The races at Kahulu on New Years
day has taught the horse men of Maui
that we have the making of a frst-class
string of Maui horses. The result is
that the idea is gaining ground to col
lect these horses into what will be
known as the Maui Stable. Many are
ready to back the proposition. Such
a stable organized in the near future
and put in training would make
string which would be well worth talk
ing to Honolulu on June II, and would
also insure the Honolulu horsemen a
run for their money when they come

Kekaula was so much worried over
the appearance Of the ghost that he re-
fused to live any longer in the house

living in the neighborhood have also
been afraid to venture near the house

Owing to the increased traffic the
company has arranged for ten new
cars which will seat Sc passengers each.

present rolling stock, so as to provide
several large cars in addition to those
already mentioned.
During the year the company has
changed from coal to oil as fuel and
thereby done away with the smoke
