THE RACE MEET.
The race meeting at Hoolulu Park
last Friday was one Of the best in
some respects yet given in Hilo.
The first race was the three-eighths
dash for a purse of 500, with Reject

favorite and he justified the confidence
placed in him by winning the race in

was a game contestant until in the
last quarter when Dixie showed his
heels and threw volieys of mud in
his rivals eyes. Time Center failed
to get away at the start.
The pony race was a pretty thing
and was won by Allan Wallis Sure
Kela" with Master Ebeling in the
saddle Ebeling lost a stirrup and his
saddle turned half round, but he stuck
to his pony's withers like a clam and
rode in winner in easy fashion. Ke-s
aau Kid, another of Pete Dorland's
string, took second money,
Skinney Bones, a Jap pony, came in
third.
In the half mile handicap, an ac-
cident put Defender out of the game
before the first post was reached. He
slipped and threw his jooky and can
tered around in the ear of his two con-
testants Philip and Rejected. Reject
ed won the race in "a IL. Philip
weighed in at ninety pounds. but even
then fell short of victory.
The most exciting race of the day
was the three mile relay race. Mahi

ranch, and Fitzsimmons did the rid
ing. Flores won on the strength and
speed of his horse in the last half
