. at Kahului, by a picnic and sports a
> Paia, and by a luau and contests o.
various kinds at Halehaku.
The twenty-f1rst annual meet of the
Maui Racing Association, held al
Spreckels Park, Kahului, was attended
by a large number of people-a cosmo-
politan gathering that filed the grand
stand and overlooked into the adjoin-
ing enclosures. The crowd seemed to
hugely enjoy the great sporting event
of the year, which must have been a
financial success.
Some of the public carriages display
ed the American colors, but aside from
them the only exhibition of red, white
| and blue was an Anticipated flag that
| f1oated from the pole in the center of
| the race track. The Kahului Railroad
| Co. was more patriotic. Every engine
| that pulled out trains during the day
was completely draped in bunting, and
a long line of signal flags of many
colors extended along the beach from
| the custom house almost to the rail-
| road offices.
The racing program was carried out
as follows:
| First race. Three-eighths mile dash,
running race, horses owned by Japa-
nese thirty days prior to closing of en-
| tries. Purse, $30-Francis Hebron won
by a nose over Ahinahina, Mele and
Mongoose being several lengths be-
hind Time, Il seconds.
Second race. Trotting and racing to
harness, best two in three, one-halt
mile heats; Hawaiian-bred who never
won a race. Purse, $75-The bay mare
I'm For You, entered by Kapapala Sta
bIes and driven by Billie Lucas, won
the first and third heats and the race.
John Medeiros' bay mare Katie Dooley
took the second heat. C. P. Bento's
Charley, a sorreI gelding, was with,
drawn after two heats. Time: 1st
heat, 1888; End heat, 1874 Is, and 3rd
heat, 1913. I'm For You lost the sec,
ond heat when it was well nigh won
by badly breaking on the home
stretch. Katie Dooley is a good horse
and should improve much with train
ing.

den by Japanese Purse, $50-Mele won
over Ahinahina, Mongoose and Minnie.
Time, So AS.
The fourth race for polo ponies was
not filed.

In this event the bay gelding Lau-
Iii, entered by Kapapala Stables and
ridden by Domingoes Ferreira, fouled
w. T. Robinson's bay mare Euradius at
the first turn, crowding the animal |
against the rail. For this breach of |
racing regulations Ferreira was ruled |
off the track by the judges, and though |
Euradius finished as No. 2, behind |
Laulii, she was given the race. The |
judges were purposely severe in this
matter, having been informed that Fer
reira had already been debarred in Ho-
nolulu and Hilo.
In place of race seven a special match
race between the famous Cyclone
(black gelding), with a record of 2:07,
now owned by A. Gross, and the we'll
known Faro Bank Drown gelding),
with a record of PIT, owned by w.
Lucas, took place (rumor stating), on
a wager of $500 to 800 that Cyclone
would shut out Faro Bank in going a
mile. Dickie Davis drove Cyclone, and
Billie Lucas Faro Bank Cyclone ap-
peared to fine advantage and easily
shut out Faro Bank, making a slow
mile in 2:3S.
The eighth race, ffve-eighths of a
