TEN gOoG races, nearly all with
close and exciting finishes, were
run Off in good time yesterday
afternoon on the Kapiolaui Park track
IN the second Of the three-day meet.
The opening number, the first heat of
y = initial trotting' race, was started
al a Quarter OF two, and the meet was
over by fives o clock.
The crowd yesterday was just about
t,.icc ns big as that which witnessed
tha Saturday card. but even at that the
attendance fell far short of expecta-
toms Yesterday the grandstand was
about thrPP-quarters full, while the
bIrachers on either side of the grand.
etand were. Just about filled. ,COnsid'
orng the merit and excellence of the
races and the fact that it was a hOli'
dav. Honolulu certainly fell far short
~ turning out as Il should have done
Saturday To Close Meet
However, there is still chance for
followers Of the sport to settle the
Question whether the city cares for
further good racing or not, for next
Saturday will he the third and last
dry Of the present meet. Inasmuch rs
tho entire receipts Of the day will
be donated to the Red Cross it is ex
pected that bumper crowd will turn
ont, for the occasion and purpose OF
the meet certainly call for n good
showing.
At times Yesterday il seemed that
the races were going bit slow, but
this was hardly the case. Some of thu
Youngsters were minded to be BIZ
refractory and were hard to get start
ed properly. The feature of the day
was the great Tmpqua's behavior. HI
was n perfect gentleman and never act
ed better than he did in the mile, which
was the final event Of the day.
Steeplechase Event Excited
The steeplerhase was a pretty numbe
and pleased the crowd a good deal
The seven entries went over the frs
barrier, in front Of the grandstand. a
enc OF course. it was a foregOne con
elusiOn that Sergeant Belmont's RowdI
would win. for he is n veteran in thi
style of racing, yet the event was in
teresting and exciting enough to b.
real good.
The Hawaiian band was on hand an'
| filled in the waits with music. The af
ternoon was perfect one, just warn
| enough to be comfortable, and the dus
nuisance in front Of the grandstan'
was abatcd to the point that no com
plant could come from this source.
