Without resting once, without touch
ing water to his lips or a towel to his
face, Antoine Kaoo, the old "Waialua
Horse broke the tape fifteen feet in
front of the japanese yesterday after
noon at the league ground and took
first honors in one of the most remark
able marathons ever run here.
For over three hours the Hawaiian
and the japanese ran at a steady trot,
seldom more than four yards apart and,
with two thousand race bugs cheering
their heads off and the band playing out
of time in its excitement, INDUCED IN
a wildly spectacular finish.
The official time for the race was
three hours, eight minutes, forty and
a quarter seconds. As Kaoo crossed the
line, Nigel jackson, Marathon Kid,"
was patting c. X. Charlie patronizing

Charlie, the game little Chinese, was
plugging away over mile behind the
winner with the smile on his face that
wouldn t come off.

Hays, Tsukamoto, Dial Fahy, Kaoo,
jackson and Charlie were lined in the
order named, with Hays nearest the
rope. and at the crack of the gun start
ed off in a long string that gradually
broke into sections, Jackson, Kaoo and
Tsukamoto leading by half lap. At
the end of the second mile the leaders
began to sprint and Kaoo took the lead
to be distanced excessively by jack
son and Tsukamoto. Then he took the
lead once more but was several
times distanced by the japanese, who,
however. never kept the lead for more
than few seconds. At the end of the
second mile, Fahy was Tapped and Hays
was Tapped in the third mile.
Charlie Does Stunts.
The little Chinaman was the only one
that afforded the amusement for some
time, sticking his head into the breeze
and doing remarkable sprints to keep
ahead of Hays and Fahy when they
tried to pass him. At one time after
being Tapped he had it out to a finish
with Jackson. This is amusing but it

At the end of FIVE miles and the 3S5

Good Time.
At this time thirty-two minutes and
thirty-two seconds had expired. Jack
son entered the field and made a sprint,
catching up half lap and making the
pace for the Waialua Horse, who was
keeping up the same steady movement
with the Japanese sticking to his heels.
When Jackson attempted to draw
away from the leaders, Charlie refused
to let him pass and the two kept
sprinting circles around each other I'M
til the haole decided that discretion
was the better part of a marathon race.
Hays was Tapped in the ninth mile.
Hays Conapses.
Hays put up game race but the
pace was to warm for him and during
the seventh mile he began to show
signs of weakening, taking several rub
downs. In the sixteenth mile he show
