The finish between Tex, second, and
Morgan, third, was q pretty one, but
half a neck separating the two horses
II was beautiful TO watch the animals
clear the barriers, which were three
and half feet high. there being sis
of these evenly distributed over the

The main event, which was the final
was close and exciting race. In thi'
number Louis Warren's great Umpqua

a head over Warren's other entry, One
onta, with Johnny Carroll up, time La

! Harry Donivitz up, was third, while r
NJ. Kanealii 3 Aristolat, with OpiopiC
up, brought up the rear.
Aristolat Poor Performer
Aristolat gave n lot Of trouble, more
than he was worth, and forced O mum
, Der Of false starts. Umpqua was il
fine fettle. He stood, with his muscles
all a-quiVer, head erect and ears out
pointed, q perfect picture Of equine
| beauty. Seldom has Umpqua been a.
tractable a. he was yesterday.
When the four finally got the fal
Umpqua was easily the gamer by q
two. length start, which he held almost
all the way. Oneonta gained on hin
| gamely, however, and coming down thu
stretch It looked as IL the Carroll mount
might be first under the wire. Umpqui
won, though, just by head. This great
finish sent the crowd home happy. Il
could not have been staged better hat
it been so planned.
Notes Of tho Day
| ? The Official buglcr was missing yes
terday and Capt, Harry f. Murray, tn
announcer, did lot Of hammering OF
the bell, calling the horses out.
After Prohibition was outdistancec
in the second trotting race Of the dat
the water wagon was brought into re
| quisition and many a pretty dress wa
saved from the dust. i"'-' -.
Some one in the Eva bleachers drop
ped dime and when there was a scram
| bile for the fortune the grandstand ros
a. one, trying to learn particulars o
the fight that did not take place. Ever
the band boys broke OF midway durinI
q waltz. - -
They are now talking about matchin,
Umpqua and Oneonta for mile on Sat
urday. This should be n great drawing
card. Also, there are those who wan
to see Oneta and Waimea go it agai,
over the half, while stin others wan
Suante. Kawailani and Mary Louis
matched for a five -eighths dash. ~
nerVo has still his staunrh hackers an,
they would like to see him 20 anothe
heat or so against the steady old We
come Boy. Might Just as we'll mate
Prohibition and sBretta Dee in a rae
for outdistanced ones.
John o 'ROurke brought Welcome Bo
to the Islands and after he disposed o
him he brought Denervo to beat tn
former. Denervo also changed hand
and o 'ROurke brought Bretta Dee t
beat the pair. 1t looks as If the vett
ran hOrseman should have stuck to We
come Boy in the first place.
Next Saturdays meet will begin q
one-thirty and will be the last Of til
year. The receipts win be given to til
Red Cross. The program will be mad
public tomorrow, for the hOrsemen ar
