several CLOSE Finishes anu 1is"''
There were number of pretty fin.
ishes during the day, and this atoned
| for an otherwise featureless meet. In
only two races of the eight on the pro
gram were there three starters, all the
other events being limited to a strug'
gle between two contestants.
The refreshment buffet was much bet
| ter patronized than any other attrae-
tion on the grounds, and good many
more schooner races were held in
this way than on the track. The eX-
citement of the day came about when
Virginia Bettencourt, one of the Oahu
League umpires, uneonsciously trod on
some one corns and the aggrievei
one took umbrage at the occurrence.
Bettencourt apologized, disclam ng any
offense, and was in turn struck by the
man with the corns. Barney Joy, who
happened to be near the scene, decided
to take sides with Bettencourt, and
for little while there was n semblanec
| of Trough house, two policemen
meanwhile getting into the game and
peace being restored without any I'M
toward casualties being recorded. In
| Justice to the parties mixed in the af-
fair, it may be said all of them were
perfectly sober. Shortly after TINS
there was another informal bout be-
tween other parties, but this did not
accelerate the races any at all.
One redecming feature of the day
was that the races were run off in the
order they were printed on the m meo-
graph program which was distributed,
and those who had occasion to refer
to the program were able thus to fol-
low the ponies without difficulty
The first number on the program was
a auar.er-mile matched race between
George Holt S Paama Boy and $. Gay s
Sunrise. The initial performance be-
gan with hitch; the owners wanted
their own starters, and hhaiiy deeineu
to appoint each starter ana the TWO

race went of without any trouble.
