H|LO EXODUS
STARTS TODAY
Ayres, Jackson and Fahy Leave
for Hawaii to Bring the
LaureIs Back.

The big exodus for Hilo will start
today. A bunch of live ones will leave
ON the Mauna Kea and will be follow
ed by many more good sportsmen later
in the week. Everything is arranged
for record good time at the city
where they build breakwaters. Official
Information comes that the weather
bureau has ordered the sunshiniest
weather to last from Friday till Tues
day and everybody who has time,
money and sense enough to go to Hilo,
will have one great time.
There will be a party Of three no.
tables aboard the good steamer today.
III. M. Ayres, scheduled to show the
Hilo boys how to walk a mile. Nigel
jackson, the Marathon kid who expects
TO win the race from Nine Mile, and
Dial Fahy, the waukenphast, who will,
like Jackson, appear in both the Mara
thon and walking events.
The local interest really centers in
the Marathon and walking events as
these viii have Oahu representatives
that are expected to carry back the
honors with them. The long race will
be on Saturday afternoon and the walk
ing race will be on Monday.
1t is not known just what athletic
talent they have on Hawaii, but after
the showing that both Fahy and Jack
son have made here, it seems very
probable that one of them will win the
Marathon race while both of them will
be in the mile-walking race as well as
Ayres and one of the three should be
able to hand it to the good Hawaii
athletes.
Great Horse Races.
The horse races are going to be the
best ever All the thirty-two stalls
are full and the Japanese horses are
being housed under the grandstand. The
big event, the Merchants Stakes will
be run on Monday, July 5. The dis
tance is Ia miles and there will be
four entries.
The four entries are all fast ones.
There is Johnnie. o 'Rourke's Banonica,
the FLY that won the same race last
January. Drollett will be up and he
is the kid that rides a grand race.
Then there is Louie Warren's Warning
with Domingo Ferreira up. The Ku-
kaiau ranch entry, Major Collier, and
Weber, the Coast horse entered by
Colin McLennon.
Warning Is Favorite.
Inside information from Hilo states
that Warning is expected to win the
race. This is taken as much from the
expert clocking, that has been done,
as from the dope. 1t seems, according
to what has been written by cor
respondents of local sportsmen, that
both the clocking and the dope con-
form and that Warning will be an odds
on favorite at the post.
The next most interesting event on
the race program is probably the Mon
day event of six furlongs for Hawai-
ian bred maidens There is absolutely
no dope on which to base any forecast
of the race and the consequence is that
each of the four entries has a ranch
backing that will spend all its money
to say that the home horse will win.
A maiden event of this kind is al
ways a very keen one. The ranch
that enters a horse for the race always
has some hundreds Of employees who are
ready to back their own animal to the
limit and the maiden colt or FLY, that
comes in first, will pack a heavy load
of dough for the lucky people who hap
pen to be workers or partisans of the
ranch that enters it.
Some Keen Soccer.
The soccer game will be on Mon
day This will give the visiting play
ers a chance to get over any seasick-
ness that they may suffer and to take
nice rest and be properly ready for
the great game. Eddie Fernandez has
live bunch working with him and,
under the leadership of that veteran
player Jock Cation, we may feel as
sured that the Honolulu dribblers will
come back with The cup. Even though
they lose, we may be sure that they
will put up the game of their lives and
make the Hj!oites work some to find
their goal.
Jackson Subpoenaed.
Nigel Jackson was served with
subpoena YESTERDAY in which he was
commanded to appear in court this
morning and give evidence in a case.
But it is unofficially understood that
the examining lawyers and the court
will do their best to get through with
him before 11.30 so that he may make
run for the Inter-Island wharf and
get aboard the Mauna Kea before she
leaves port.
