the Islands is being drawn to the an
nuaI meeting Of the Maui Racing Asso-
eiation, which takes place at Spreckels
Park, July 4.
For some inexplicable reason the ex.
echtive committee of the association,

An analysis of the events develops
some interesting points.
The Harness Division
This year there is no race for Gals
trotters and PAGERS, these plodding
beasts apparently being expected to
take a chance in the free-for- all If their
owners want to earn any feed money.
The free-for-all trotting and pacing
race, by the way, is announced as a
mile handicap, the handicap to be
framed on time basis.
Usually these free-for-an harness
events are heat affairs, but this year the
