The Hawaiian star. [volume] (Honolulu [Oahu]) 1893-1912, 1909-01-06

to the finish, Frolic winning by three
lengths, in 2:4S "a. Trilby fell fur
Their behind the further she went and
was fully thirty lengths behind Adion
at the finish.
Next came a special trotting and
pacing race in which Harry Hurst,
Waldo ]. and Parnel started. Glib
son drove Hurst III the first heat and
Davis was behind Waldo. Billy Luz
cas- handled the Irish wonder. There
was considerable fielding against Harry
Hurst and with Davis driving Waldo
a reversal of the first days form was
looked for by a great many.
Waldo had the pole and went off in
the lead. Hurst broke badly the
second time round and lost such lot
of ground that had there been a dis
lance flag out the race would have
ended after the first heat. Waldo was
there with the goods and closed like a
lion in 1882. Parnell was pulled up
and did not finish the first heat.
In the second heat Garlic David was
put up behind Harry Hurst vice Gibson
but the change worked no miracle, al
though the veteran kept his charge on
his feet. Waldo, pacing like a young
horse, won heat and race handsomely
in 2:31 IA.
A match race between Elko and
Breakwater ar nalf mile next en-
gagged the attention of the sports.
Willis was up on Breakwater and Nc
Auliffe had the mount on Elko. Break
water made all the running and won
by length in 054 1-2.
The siM-furlongs Hawaiian-bred
race furnished a spectacular finish.
Major Collier and Indigo were the
starters and coming under the wire
the first time Indigo was two lengths
in front The Oahu horse held the
lead at the half and it looked as if
he were going to land a race at last.
Willis closed the gap in the last fur
long, however, and beat Indigo in d
grandstand finish by length. Time,
1:21. Major Collier ran with b.inkers,
Banonica, Froiic and Adion were
sent after the purse in the six-furlongs
free-for-all and the former won as
she liked by matter of lengths, FroliC
being second. The time was 1:21
Clarence Richardson who rode Frolic
was fined $50 by the judges for cross
ing and boring.
After this race the judges announced
that Dickey Davis was willing tC
match Waldo j. with Harry Hurst, any
distance and any time for $500 OF
$1,000. If the match were made on thf
spot it could come off any time with,
in the next four days, but otherwise
Davis would require thirty days no
tice.
The last race on the card, hal
mile for Hawaiian breds, was con.
! tested by Major Collier, Indigo, Break
water and Elko Collier once agar
had matters all his own way and wor
comfortably by e length in O:52 L.
: The afternoons sport concluded
with half mile dash between Free
, Birmingham Sweet Nell and Japa
nese horse called Okamura. Ferreir;
was up on Sweet Nell and Kamamott
. bestrode the other Despite the fac
that odds OF three to one were bettet
on the Olaa mare, Okamura won b!
half length. 1t was what is calleC
in racing parlance a dump"
