30th Annual Race Meet Was Big Sue
cess-Big Honolulu CrOwd-ExCit-
ing Races On A Slow Track

The 30th annual race meet of the |
Maui Racing Association, on the Four |
tn of July, was in many respects one |
of the most successful of the long list |
of successful affairs seen on the Maui |
track. 1t was well attended, the rae
es for the most part were exciting
and the crowd was orderly. 1t was
not Maui's lucky day, however .as far
as winning was concerned, for the
more important events were won by
visiting horses.
The time was generally SLOW ow-
ing to a heavy track caused by rains
during the two previous days. The
weather overhead however, was all
that could be desired, and by noon
the mud on the track was fairly well
dried up.
Welcome Boy Tom Hollinger's big
bay, in his long series of brushes with
his Maui rival Denervo, got revenge
for his bad defeat in Honolulu on Ka-
mehameha day by taking three out of
four heats in the first race of the day.
McPhee's horse was driven by James
Cornwell in place of Dan Carey, who
was disabled from his cut wrist of a
week before. He nosed out his rival
in the 3rd heat, after Welcome Boy
had held the lead from the start. The
4th heat however, went to the visitor,
and the race was won-and lost.
DR.. Fitzgera1d's Copra, after a lot of
fractions action before the race won
the second event handsomely from
McPhee e Locey's Heidelberg and r.
w. Shingles Umpqua: and again. in
the Sth race (half-mile dash) had no
difficulty in taking the purse from W.
A. Clark's Edwin, Young Lady having
been scratched.
The closest race of the day was the
q mile free-for-all running; in which
McPhee G. Loceys Ypress nosed out
victory from Senator Baldwin's Fran
ces B. by so close margin that no
one in the grandstand was certain
what the judges verdict would be.
Frances B. led the bunch from the
start but was overhauled by Ypress
on the stretch. Time. 1:21-4-5. Mrs.
Walter Dillingham's bay horse, One
onta, ran bad third
Bubbling Water, Manuel All Sues
bay filly, won in the 2-year-Qld class
half-mile event from DR.. Fitzgerald's
Dick Tilburn, by an open length. and
later when she ran in the maiden
pony class was disqualified after the
race, and the event given to Panama,
Joe Williams 5-year old Happy Boy,
H. Won Tempsky) ran third
Cowboy Events Please
A lot of sport was had by the spec
tators following the horse racing, in
the riding and roping contests staged
in front of the grand stand. In these
Harvey Raymond carried off the cham
pionship in the amateur roping con-
test together with the big $3.50. cup
There were no bitches in the racing
events. and the track officials all de-
serve praise for the unusually eXped-
itious manner in which the events
were handled. Much of this was due
to the preparations made by Angus
McPhee and F. H. Locey. to whom the
track had been turned over for this
occasion by the Association. The
Judges and other officials received
many compliments for the satisfactory
work they did. The judges were-W'
A. Clark, H. Gooding Field, and Eben
Low. d. Mooney. of Honolulu also
assisted the judges. S. S. PaXson ol
Honolulu, was starter; FL. Gesner ano
Mai. Bal were parole judges; Frank
Cameron kept things moving as clerk
of the course; DR.. Farrell and FREQ
Wichman held the watches; and Capt
Whitehead was master of ceremonies
at the cowboy stunts.
