More thm G00O spectators gathered
at Kapiolani Park yesterday for the
final day Of the race meeting, and
these 5000 spectators were treated to
a combination OF racing that is not
often seen on any track.
There was q supply OF class that
was enough for the most ardent rae
ing fan and then there we're other
races which did not come up to the
standard OF the first day. Speed was
not lacking nor was interest, and
when the day died the horse who fin.
fshed third dedicated the close OF the
first meet. His appropriate name,
Bones. clearly explained all that was
left OF the most successful meeting
ever held in Hawaii.
Finished Well.
Disaster was killed also In the last
race. Messina, out OF Fata, started
well, but was left and Major, the last
OF the winners, crossed the wire
ahead OF Capt. Glassford's Tuolumne
which brought to q glorious finish q
day OF pleasure, one that was worthy
OF q place as q part Of the Kane
hameha Day program.
Early in the morning a long line
OF automobiles sped along Kalakaua
avenue and when the first race was
called there were at least 1000 people
IN the grandstand and at the track
Automobiles were lined around the
POLO field and hundreds OF spectators
found places In the park spaces along
the home stretch.
Nearly everyone interested in some
line OF sport was present and here
and there one could see q crowd Of
tennis players, golfers and baseball
stars. The latter were there in mum.
Der, and the baseball fans journeyed
out to watch o sport that is coming
into IT'S own and VIII soon be one
OF the leading sports of the territory,
Here and there in the stand were
gathered little parties in the boxes
and all were centered on the race tc
come. There were signs and shoutl
Of JOY and mingled CONSERVATION Is
a favorite lost or rank outsider
came in to the wire first
Those sllpsl
There was a suspicion Of what one
would call pools IN the stands. Aftei
the meet was evef hundreds Of little
slips scattered throughout the grand
stand showed that there had been suf
ficient interest N the races for lit
tie chance 20 wager. Many of thu
little slips wee written by q member
OF the fair sex and q close study Of
the little paper slips told story Of
defeat or victory. Many were tori
in shreds, denoting that some horse
had failed to come up to expectations
SIeuths Alert.
Capt. McDuffie and his squad were
on the aiert in the ring, but there were
still the little slips Of paper In the
stand which proved that someone was
either practising penmanship or flirt
ing with the Goddess OF Chance. In
asmuch as q race meet is not the best
place in the world for the practise Of
improved scrinbling, the latter is the
natural conclusion that must b.
reached
owners Of horses, Jockeys, judges
the people Ia the stands, those IN
the bleachers were awake yesterday
and there was not q sepblance o.
lack OF interest throughout the entire
meet. When the morning events haG
been concluded the crowd passed Out
of the enclosure, discussing this race
and that one, but there was little tall
of wagering going on as the crowd
left for the noon hour period. There
were a satisfied air about 1t all thai
was pleasing.
