DOPESTERS START
RACEHORSE TALK
Hilo Meeting Will See Many
Honolulu People in
Evidence.

The Fourth of July races which take
place at Hilo are creating a great deal
of talk in this city and from the pres
ent prospects it is likely that the Inter
Island Co. will have to put on a special
steamer to accommodate the crowd
which will leave here to attend the
meet. The horses are all in training,
but as yet it is too early to try to
pick any favorites in the events which
have been scheduled.
The Enterprise has arrived in Hilo
with two racers on board from the
Coast, one for George Richardson and
the other for John O'Rourke. Both are
said to be very fine animals and to be
fast enough to beat anything now in
the Islands. Lucilla, the racing ma
chine which was to be sent down for
w. H c. Campbell, fell the day before
she was to be shipped and sprained her
ankle, putting her out of the game for
some time. On account of this Camp
bells hopes of winning the stake have
disappeared
Jockey McAuliffe, who is probably
the best to be found in the Territory,
passed through here last Tuesday,
coming from Kauai with four horses
of Col. Spalding's string. He went to
Hilo on the Kinau. They are all young
animals and will carry less weight than
Bruner and most of the other animals
and should be reckoned carefully in the
betting. They are of the Kealia stock.
1t is understood that Jockey OpioDio
will ride Bruner. He is a good rider
but hard to keep down to his work.
The owners will watch him carefully
when the Fourth draws close to hand.
c. H Judd is in this city at present
on a visit. He has come down from
the Parker Ranch on business but can
not keep from talking horse with his
old friends. He is one of the best
known of the old time trainers. He
will be present at the Hilo races.

Meet on July a

WAILUKU, June 15.-The committee
which has charge of the program for
the coming races on July 4th intends
to have races on the square or else
have none at all. All those who are
interested are aware of this fact. The
Judges are fair, impartial men and they
will be backed up by the entire asso-
citation in the matter of carrying out
fair races.
The executive committee held a meet
Ing this week and ruled off a man and
horse indefinitely for violation of the
rules and more will follow if there Is
a repetition of such violations.
New horses are showing up every
dav. Two horses arrived by Saturday $
CIaudine and are being kept in the
dark but that makes it so much more
interesting. 1t is understood that
fast harness horse is to arrive by TO-
days Claudine to take part in the
coming events with the horses already
here. Things should be doing on the
4th. A new one dropped in from Pala
this week and from present indications
il looks as though she will have her
name put on one of the purses. MT.
Okamura from Lahaina will be mere
with something good and the Wailuku
horsemen are always glad to see him
as he always accepts defeat with good
grace and meets success like a gentle
manly snort. The owners of horses
have done their part to entertain. NOW
is the public going TO do their part!
We sincerely trust they are, and prove
that in the future Maui will be the
center of good, honest racing and the
home of the high class horse.-Maul

TWO GOOD GAMES
At AALA PARK
Japanese Beat Out kaaIa A. C..
After a Fast. Clean
Game.

Those who went to the Aala Park
grounds yesterday to watch the games
of the Riverside League would have
their moneys worth if they had paid
admission. Both of the games were
full of excitement and at times the spec
tators went wild with yells. Supervisor
Charlie Hustace was one of the inter-
ested spectators. His action in grant
ing the privilege TO the league to place
chairs on the grounds was approved
by the people at large The first game
between the Kaala A. c. and the Japs,
resulted in a victory for the sons of
! Nippon. The Kaalas. who are the lead
ers in the league at the present time,
| have defeated every team in the league
| but the Japs, who have beaten them
twice The score was to l in favor
of the Japanese A. C.
In the second game. the Chinese Alo-
has were defeated by the Chinese A. c.
with a score of to 6. This game caus-
| ed a good deal of excitement among
the Chinese, which made things very
exciting There was yelling in the Chi
nese language and also in English by
the Chinese spectators. AS usual the
Chinese AIohas were the favorites.
In this game, there was a good deal
of comment from the spectators on the
decisions of the umpire, a. Williams.
'Bill' Vannatta got into a hot argu-
ment with the official after the game.
1t is said that the Alohas will file a
protest and ask that they be given an
Opportunity to play the Chinese A. c,
again. Mahukona, a player of the
Chinese AIohas, put up pretty game
at third.
