Star is in receipt of the following COM
munication which will be read with
great deal of interest by local horse
men who raced horses at the last
Fourth of July meeting, and others:
AWARD OF HILO JULY RACES
ARBITRATORS.
We, the undersigned Committee OF
Arbitration appointed to decide dis
puted questions, relative to races run
at Hoolulu Park, July 5, 1909, report
our final conclusions as follows:
We have made the most careful in
vestigation of all charges Of dishonesty
made against the judges of the
races and against those entering
horses the different races, ana
have very clearly come to the con-
clusion that no intentional fraud was
committed by any of the parties in
terested in the races taking place July
5th. All differences which have been
so unfortunately made public and
which have given rise to charges of
fraud were due to errors in judgment
and to mutual Misunderstanding
Race No. l. The ruling of the judges
by which the jockey of Weber was
ruled off the track was erroneous. The
owner of Adriana Iecouvreur and Web
Der properly exercised his right to de-
clare to win with the former and the
action of the jockey in making no eff
fort to win with Weber was proper
Race No s. Entrance fees to be re-
turned to Banonica and Major Collier
Balance of entry fees in the sum OF
S45O. 90 to be given to Weber. Purse
shall not be awarded.
Race No. Z. Purse be given to Waldo
d.
Races 6, Z, 8 and 8. No races. All
entrance fees to be returned. The
only rule which was imposed upon the
judges at the meeting was that pub
lished in the papers by which four or
more must enter and three or more
must start. In these races there were
no three .stayters, and, therefore, no
races.
In order that there shall be no mis-
understanding relative to the repay
ment of entrance fees and the purses,
all amounts are to be paid to the per-
sons entitled by the Arbitration Com
mittee.
