kAHULUl. Maui, July 4.-This was
Honolulu Day on the Kahului track,
two visiting horses pulling down the
I money in the two main events. Tom
Hollinger's Welcome Boy got revenge
for his defeat on the Kapiolani track
a month ago by Angus McPhees
Denervo by taking three out Of four
heats in the free-for-all trotting. nr
pacing event In the last race, the big
free-forall mile and half Maui Hotel
Cup running event. r. w. Shingles
Harvester took the aggregate of
purses offered. amounting to $3.50, to-
gether with the $3.50 cup. He won
easily in the slow time of $50 against
Ypres (McPhee & Loceyl, Miss Off
cious Miss Inez McPhee) and imp.
qua Or. w. Shingle). The last named
horse was distanced almost from the
start. Heidelberg was scratched.
Besides the purses on these two
races it is understood that a much
larger sum of Maui money will also GO
back to Honolulu when the Kilauea
leaves tonight. for there was undoubt.
eddy good deal of betting going on
between Honolulu and Maui fans.
Denervo's defeat was probably
due in part to a very heavy track, due
to heavy rain on Sunday and Monday
nights, and to the fact that Dan
Carey, who has heretofore piloted the
big bay in brushes against Hollingers
favorite. was unable to drive owing to
an injured arm. Jim CornwelI han.
died the ribbons, but under his guild.
ance Denervo broke repeatedly in the
first two heats. though he was scarce
length behind at the finish Of each.
In the third heat he steadied ma
terially, and although Welcome Boy
held the lead up to the last rod, he
Dosed out a victory under stimulus OF
the whip. The fourth heat was taken
by Welcome Boy in little better
time than any of the previous ones.
The time for the four heats was
2:31, 1928, 1923 and 2:271-5.

Record Crowd.
One of the biggest crowds that ever
attended a race meet in Maui turned
out to witness today's events. It
marked the thirtieth annual Fourth OF
July meeting Of the Maui Racing
Association, although this year, for
the first time, the entire management
was turned over to Angus McPhee and
F. H. Locey. The class of racing was
exceptionally high. The cowboy
stunts, including steer riding and rop-
ing and bronco busting, which follow
ed the race program, was also of
much interest -.
The Honolulu crowd, which came I'D
by the special excursion of the Kila-
uea, numbered over 200.
