Another
Gala Day
Best Days Racing Ever Seen In the
Territory.

Ihe tWenty-Slxth annual meet OF
the Maui Racing Association was
brought to q most successful con-
clusion ON Thursday, when a large
and enthusiastic crowd was in at
tendance. The great crowd present
was kept on edge all the time by
the close finishes, and though the
waits between some of the races
was a bit tedious, still the close
finishes amply repaid everyone for
the time lost.
The weather was perfect for the
sport of kings and the track was in
fine condition. 1t was a pretty
scene from the quarter stretch as
one viewed the grand stand with
its load of beautiful and beautifully
clad ladies looking down upon the
mass of surging humanity below all
eager to get the right tip on the
winner in each event. The horses
seemed to be in better fettle and
more evenly matched than ever be-
fore, and with the exception of a
couple of races, the starts were uni
formly good. What poor starts
there were, was due solely to the
unruliness of some of the horses.
One serious accident marred what
was otherwise perfect days sport.
In the gentlemen's race there were
four entries, and just after the
horses got away from the post,
Roam on Thirty-five fell, and the
horse planted his hind foot on the rid
ers head. Roam was picked up uncon-
scious, and it was feared at first he
had been killed, but later he came
too, and the doctors now think
there is nothing more serious than
a severe scalp wound and a general
shaking up.
As usual John O'Rourke of Hilo
won the bulk of the prizes, and he
deserves to win. When he comes
to Maui he brings race horses, and
the public is always assured of a
race when O'Rourke's horses are
entered. The field of two year
olds this year has two promising
colts in Umpqua and Oneonta,
and a year from now the former
should prove a formidable rival for
any distance beyond the half mile.
The old campaigners Major Collier
and Merlingo received the plaudits
of the crowds, and both deserved it,
as they are a good meal ticket in
any mans country.
The great reception of the day
was reserved for Maui, however,
and when he won the 2.15 race, the
crowd was jubilant. Had there
been driver behind him instead Of
an exercise boy, he might also have
won the free for all.
J Glowing are the results of the
days racing:
First Race-Free for all, running
one half mile. Merlingo first
Oneonta second, time 81 seconds

 Howe, a very black negro, turned into
 Fifth avenue at Twenty-fifth street
 last night driving a laundry wagon. It
 was just about supper time and George
 was flashing his horse down the wet
 pavement. His trip was done and his
 horse and he were both abnormally
 hungry. He was doing all that he could
 to hide from the driving gusts of cold
 rain, but found himself quite unsuc- cessful. as the wind was blowing up the avenue and he was going down. Pse gwine to stick to this yere seat till I swim in water. case Ise got to git home to my old oman Lord knows what she'll do now, case I'm
 late a'ready." And he shivered when
 an extra hard gust of rain hit him in the face, making scanty protection Of
 narrow rubber storm sheet strung
 over the buck board.
 He was driving hard and with wheels flying, and wet, screeching axles hit
 the street car crossings at Twenty
 third street. He felt big jolt and
 pitched out over the blackboard fran

 appendage. His right hand and then his left closed over the wet hair with loving clasp and there he rode. with
 his feet on the wagon seat and his head on the horses hip, bouncing up and down with every step.
 old Dobbin must have known that something was wrong, for he slowed up to canter and then stopped. George slid and tumbleds to the ground, gathered himself together and looked
 wrathfully around. The rim of the left hind wheel had gone joy riding when the wagon hit the crossing and with only the spokes holding the wagon up they had collapsed and it was drag

 Now, of course George was angry, | thoroughly and earnestly mad. Anyone in his predicament might have been the same and not acted unseemly. He couldn't fix the wheel, and he couldn't stay with the wagon, or walk home, for, as he woefully observed with visions of the old oman awaiting fer him." he hadn't got cry nickel" And just about that time along came that addle-pated, ver-present, foolish question man, in q nice, dry raincoat

 He asked Had a breakdown?" and shivered a little lady's shiver at the rain.

Whereas the side of the book where the names of prisoners re- leased on bond are listed, there usually are but few. up till midnight last night there was a total of 46 names, 12 con- victs for the state were sent on to Banner, 27 negroes were released on bond and six white men also obtained temporary freedom through the leni- ency of the court in fixing bonds in their cases
 But one name graced the side where new prisoners are listed, that of J. s. Smith. negro, charged with embez- element and later released on a bond of $500. smith was arrested on a war rant sworn out before Judge I. H Ben- ners and served by Deputy Sheriff Henry King.

Cleveland September H.-That an or ganized band of men and women are re- oruitlng young girls here for immoral purposes was reported by Probation Of fcer Christian today The officer said handsomely gowned women, well dressed young men, walters in fine restaurants and theatres worked together in turing victims.
 The inquiry was prompted oy the dis appearance of 23 young Cleveland girls from their homes in the last two months. Christian suggested that the police watch a pretentious house in the residence dis the vice. Park dance pavilions were bitterly criticised by Assistant County Prosecutor Kornhauser as contributory impetus to white slavedom.
 He censured Mayor Newton Baker for allowing them to be run. He declared that if what he heard was true Mayor Baker and the entire board of control ought to be impeached. Kolnhauser de- clared that girls of tender age were led astray at the pavilions in Edsewater ard Woodland Hills parks. He said he had been told that girls in their teens were being procured at both points.
