even those best acquainted with his

Extraordinary speed, this is a record
that much more experienced and

ON THE DERBY

A letter received by a Honolulu man
from a leading London bookmaker
throws an interesting light on the
great volume of speculation which
took place over the recent Derby won
by Mr. Joels Sunstar.
Following are some extracts from
the letter:
1--WE bookmakers will long remem-
Der Coronation Derby for two reasons
The first is the colossal amount of
money which was invested on the
race, a sum eXceeding.that of any his
toric race which has been run, and
the second is that we made money in
spite of a hot favorite winning.

and three million pounds changed
hands.

morning 5000 wires arrived at my Of

two percent butter fats.
Threaten Dairy "Trust."
One of the ice cream dealers stated
this morning that there is a very
friendly feeling of cooperation among
the men in the business here in Ho-
nolulu, and that a move may be made
to help themselves by combining to
oppose the exactions of the Honolulu
Dairymen's Association. He stated
that experiments in bringing cream of
high grade from" the mainland in a
partially frozen condition seem to
have proven entirely successful, and
that this product can be secured for
about one half the cost of the local
cream of a lower grade, and that some
Of the dealers are already taking adj
vantage of this source. He further
stated that if it should prove that there
is no way to avoid keeping up the
standard to fourteen percent that the
dealers may get together and be ready
for the next Legislature with evidence
that the wholesomeness of ice cream
ism OF increased by increasing the but
ter fats content, and that on the othet
hand the palatability of the product il
lessened by such increase, in the hope
that the law may be amended.
