attractive character. The promoter is
still working, however, and expects in
a day or two to have prizes sufficient
to tempt a very large number of COM
petitors into the long run
jackson states that the date finally
set for the race is March o. Suncay,
it is intended to have it start from
Aala Park and to be straightaway over
the road to Waialua. Mayor Fern is
taking an active interest in the race
and will probably be starter for it.

ly: First prize, $3.50; second, 500;
third, $50. AS this is enough for ex-
penses and a little high life on the side
