RACING FUTURE
NOW DISCUSSED

The suggestion to form a Hawaiian
Racing Association, which, by the way,
emanated from a Honolulu sporting
writer, staying in Hilo, has occasioned
much favorable comment in Honolulu,
and it looks as il 1t would not be long
before some definite move was made
in the matter.
1t is quite possible that the island
of Oahu will invite Maui and Hawaii
to send representatives here to discuss
the matter, said representatives to
form an association, draw up rules to
govern the races, and elect officers.
While nothing can yet be said with
certainty as to their acceptance, popular
sentiment here favors Prince Kuhio and
S. NJ. Damon as the representatives of
this island in the meeting suggested
With the assurance that racing would
be conducted on strictly square and
above board basis under the auspices
of the association, both of the gentle.
men named might be induced to serve
as the Oahu committee, and if this
could be brought about, the success of
the venture from this end, at least,
would be assured.
Mr.. Damon, sometime ago, contem.
plated building race-course at Moana.
lua and went so far as to have the
plans and specifications drawn up. He
is keen sportsmen and a lover of the
thoroughbred.
Prince Kuhio is another all-round
sportsman who has warm spot in his
heart for horse-racing. His late broth.
er's colors were frequently borne to the
front on the local tracks by such good
horses as Weller, Vioris and st. CASH
mir, and the successes of his stable
Were ALWAYS immensely popular.
Under the government of the asso.
citation, which would control the tracks
at Honolulu, Kahului and Hilo, punish
ment inflicted at one meeting would
extend to every meeting of the circuit.
The jockeys, however, would be look
ed after in case of distress or injury,
for portion of the proceeds of each
meeting would be set apart to be de.
voted to Jockeys distress fund, such
as is in existence at the mainland
tracks.

ALL IS QUIET
At WA|MANALO

But for the presence of nine officers
from Honolulu police station, there is
nothing at Waimanalo to show that
any trouble has been experienced there.
When the whistle blew yesterday morn
ing, the men went into the fields as
usual and, though the police are still
on guard as a precaution, everything
is moving along quietly.
Sheriff Jarrett returned yesterday
morning, there being no further need
of his services at Waimanalo. He left
three mounted and six foot policemen
there, however, in case some of the NAL.
contents should start fresh trouble.
Reports from the plantation indicate
that the rioting which occurred there
Monday was the work of few trou-
blemakers, and that the majority OF
the workmen were led into the row
without realizing what they were do.
ing. As soon as the ringleaders had
been gotten out of the way, they quiet
ed down and on Tuesday many of them
returned to work.
All day Tuesday there were a few
Japanese loafing around, who apparent
ly could not make up their minds to
return to the fields, but yesterday they
joined the majority.
The authorities do not expect any
more to trouble at Waimanalo, and
Deputy Attorney General Kinney stat
ed yesterday afternoon that, as far as
he knew, everything was quiet.
Late last night telephone call was
put in for Waimanalo and a reply was
received that everything was quiet.
How long the extra police will be
kept ON the plantation is not settled,
but they will probably stay there until
the workmen have gotten over their
nervousness, so that there may be nc
danger of fresh trouble arising from
the interference of riot leaders.
The Riot Trial.
The trial of the japanese rioters &C,
cused of having participated in the dis
turbance at Waipahu on June 8, is in
its final stages, and it is probable that
verdict will be returned by the jury
by the end of the week. The last wit
ness for the defense was placed upon
the stand yesterday afternoon and the
rebuttal will be begun by Attorney
Kinney for the prosecution this morn
ing.
The proceedings yesterday were pro
longed through discussions as to the
propriety of certain questions PROFOUND
ed by Attorney Kinney, Lightfoot rails
ing objection that the prosecution was
descending to the trivial in its manner
of cross examination.
One of the witnesses testified thai
he was busily engaged in singing ant
smoking" on bridge far from the
scene of the riot. Mr.. Kinney wanted
to known about the singing-whethel
it was a good old fashioned duet-i
Japanese version of "Hot Time il
the Old Town Tonight" or something
really artistic like altissimo trills il
harmonics.
Judge Robinson did not seem t,
think that the musical program of tn
accused strikers had a very importan
bearing on the case and partially sus
tanned Lightfoot in his objections.

ACUTE DISEASES
LEAVE The BLOOD
thin and WEAK
The Tonic Treatment Which Cured
This Hartford Man Is Showing Re
markable Results in Such Gases.

When the body becomes run down,
either as result of overwork, worry or
a severe illness, an examination of the
blood would show it to be weak and
watery. This condition is called amaze
mic, which is the medical term for
"bloodless. - The common symptoms
are paleness of the lips, gums and
cheeks, shortness of breath and palpi-
tation of the heart after the slightest
exertion, dull eyes and loss of appetite.
Anaemia itself is dangerous disease
and it may gradually pass into con
sumption. 1t must be cured by treat
ing its cause, which is the poor condi-
ton of the blood. The vital fluid must
be made strong and healthy thereby
enabling it to carry the necessary nour-
ishment to every tissue of the body.
DR.. Williams Pink Pills are the
greatest builder of rich, new blood and
they have been curing anaemia and
other blood diseases for nearly genet~
alton, during which time they have
come to be recognized as an invaluable
household remedy. The statement of
Mr.. +. l.. Pricett, of No. II Asylum
street, Hartford, Conn, shows how
these pills cure cases that stubbornly
resist ordinary methods of treatment.
He says:
