wAILUKU, July 5.-Maui's celebra-
ton of the Fourth of July was held
on Saturday, at least as far as planta-
lions and stores and many other Zines
of business were concerned. Banks
are celebrating today, ana so are a
few other institutions on this island.
That Saturday was Maui's real cele-
bration no Valley Islander can doubt.
for Maui. as usual, turned out en-
masse to the races on the Kahnlui
track. No such line of automobiles
had ever been seen before at the Maui
races. The cheering for the fayorite
horses and their owners was deafen-
ing. The one great Disappointment,
however, was the fact that SO few peo-
pie from Honolulu and Hawaii were
able to get to the Valley Isle. The
grandstand which is usually filed
with spectators, many of whom come
from other Islands, was only about
half filed. A large number OF racing
patrons remained in their machines,
however, which partially accounted for
the smaller number of sigatseers from
the usual vantage point. The expert
ment of having the event on the Satur-
day before when the holiday falls on
Sunday and elsewhere is observed on
Monday seems to prove that this time
Maui would have done better to have
observed today instead.
The races we're great success.
There was the usual enthusiasm for
Msui ponies, and great anxiety that
favorites should win as many of the
races as possible.
The eleven entries were run off ac.
cording to schedule and the printed
