WAILUKU, Maui, June 2S.-Just
what horses are coming from Ho-
nolulu for next weeks races at the
Kahului track are not definitely
known up 70 the present time. It is
known, however, that Walter Dilling-
hams Umpqua and Oneta will arrive
by tomorrow mornings Claudine while
Macfarlane's Mary Jay, which ran
such a wonderful race with Harry
Baldwin's Frances b. in the recent
Honolulu events, is also expected:
There is hope that Bob Shingles
horses will also be with the bunch,
but as nothing specific has been heard
from Single this is uncertain.
There is q good chance also that Ell
Orc and Carmelita, the two PAGERS
which made great showing two
weeks ago, viii also come. ="
But nobody here is losing sleep over
what Oahu horses do or do not come,
for the card Is well filled in any
event, and while the visiting horses
will of course help the big Fourth Of
July event II they come, their absence
viii by no means spoil the meeting,
or even seriously handicap 1t.
Anthrax Causing No Worry
The fact that there has been no
new eenters of infection since those
reported last week, and, that the near
est Of these is or 10 miles away
from Kahului, has enabled DR.. Nor
gard to assure the Honolulu horse
men OF the lack Of danger in bringing
their animals up.
Polo for Afternoon
The race program has been 30 ar
ranged that the races win be finished
by $3.50, In good time for the polo
game which Is to take place at the
Keahua field half an hour later. This
game Is between the Maui and OahE
teams. The Honolulu ponies are due
to arrive tomorrow morning also. The
Oahu poloists, who we're defeated In
two games in Honolulu recently by
the Maui four, it is understood are
out this time to win, and hot bat
tie Is anticipated.
As result of a little trusting" on.
the part of the dire sors OF the Maui
County Fair and Racing Association,
the organization now has O member
ship of 131. OF this number 26 are
women. II is confidently expected
that q membership Of several times
this size viii be had before long. In
fact quite number Of more names
were in the hands Of various direct.
ors for presentation, at the meeting
Wednesday afternoon, but owing to
the fact that the Formally OF the in
itiation fee had been overlooked, they
had to be ignored for the time being.
Membership for men, in the associa.
ton costs $40 and for women So. The
dues for all alike are 81 per year.
The directors report that almost ev.
erybcdy seen had been anxious to be.
come identified with the organization.
Racing Rules Bar Gambling !
The racing COMMITTEES reported that
plans for the Fourth Of July races are
working out well, and that barring
some unexpected contingency the ex.
eeIlent program prepared win be put
through without hitch. The fact
that there has been no anthrax within
eight or ten miles o. the race track.
and that there have been no new
areas Of infection for over a week.
made II safe for the Honolulu horses
and local racers expected to take part,
was the opinion expressed by DR.. J.
C. Fitzgerald, deputy territorial veter-
marian. Dc Fitzgerald further stated
thst there issprobably less danger TO
the Honolulu horses in coming to-
Maui than there was for the Maui
horses which went to Honolulu sew,
eral weeks ago at the time of the
anthrax outbreak there.
