Walking in across the finish line as !
if he was just starting for an ordinary /
walk, Vincent CONES who was miles !
behind the Waialua Iiorse Kaoo when |
passed by the press car finished first
in yesterdays marathon race, fol-
lowed by Jackson, Feagler and Hayes
in the order named.
Kaoo who was picked to win, and
who would have won if he had not
collapsed a short distance from the
finish line, ran a wonderful race, and
if he had not gone over the long route
of Kipapa gulch no one would have
beaten him, but he was told that the
short cut would not be allowed, and
for that reason the extra three miles
did him up. Jackson and Comes both
took the short cut while Hayes follow
ed the Waialua Horse over the longer
distance and finished fourth. For
some unaccountable reason the judges
did not tell each of the runners about
the short cut being allowed, and as
whole the officials were lacking judg-
ment in every detail of the race.
EARLY in the morning the weather
looked very threatening for the racers
but shortly after the runners had
started the sun came out bright and
warm, and the few stretches of mud
dy roads soon dried up, in fact the
only bad stretch of the whole dis
lance was at Aiea.
The senior bicycle race started
shortly after eight o'clock followed,
though it looked for a time that the
race would be called off on account Of
the officiousness of one Sam Decker
who objected to having Eaton Magoon
one of the best riders in the territory
entered, but his objections were dealt
with no consideration by the rest of
the riders.
A few minutes after the Junior race
had started the runners lined up to
await the starting gun in the hands
of the Mayor, and every man with the
exception of Kaoo got off in bunch.
Kaoo fell at the start but before the
corner of King and Beretania was
reached Kaoo was leading the HELD

scious condition, although he insisted
on being allowed to finish when he
was revived.
Jackson was nearly five miles be-
hind Kaoo when passed by the auto
mobile which had been secured by
the best sport in the Territory, Chas.
F. Chillingworth, for the use OF the
representative of the Star, Bulletin
and Advertiser Jackson seemed to
be in good condition when passed.

was two miles ahead of Jackson ana
three miles behind Kaoo, wanted wa
ter very badly when passed by the
press, but was able to secure some
a little further on.
When the top of Kipapa gulch was
reached Hayes was just rounding the
road on the way down, and Kaoo was
three hundred yards on the road TO-
ward Waialua.
The bicycle riders had nearly al
