First Maui Field
Is Great Success
Another All-Maui Affair Launched
Which Promises Much For Future
Some Fine Records Made
Splendid Trophies.

The first Maui Field Day. held last
Saturday, was one of the biggest
successes ever achieved on Maui Not
that the track events were anything
extraordinary as such, although these
were certainly highly creditable but
for what it all means to Maui.
In the first place the attendance was
far greater than even the most en-
thusiastic OF the promoters of the en-
terprise had dared to hope. The grand
stand was filled, mostly with children
of the schools, and it is estimated that
not less than 1000 were thus accom-
modated. Besides there were 500 or
more outside of the grand stand. But
besides this the large number of men
and women of affairs present indicat-
ed clearly the Importance attached to
the undertaking.
Financial Success
The meet was a financial success,
between $500 and $400 being taken in
at the gates and through the sale of
refreshments, despite the small ad-
mission charges. ThS expenses were
light and the balance will go into the
general fund of the Maui County Fair
& Racing Association, under the
auspices of which the affair was held.
An immense amount of enthusiasm
has been aroused in the schools of
things another year. AS it was, with
no experience in such things, the
proper pep" had been well instilleGi
All of the schools having teams en-
tered, had also large crowds of en-
thusiastic rooters present, most con-
tingents being designated by distinc-
tive colors, with appropriate banners
and occupying special sections Of the
grand stand. These delegations root
ed vociferously and faithfully and
We'd with each other in class yells and
songs. In most instances they were
very ably led.
Management
The hard work of organizing and
preparing for the big affair, as well
as the task of arousing and keeping
up the spirit of enthusiasm in young
contestants and the community alike,
fell to Principal Paul MacCaughey, of
the Maui High School, and Charles
Puck, of the Alexander House Settle
ment; and to these two goes the first
credit. But the athletic department
of the fair association, the officers of
this organization, plantation heads,
and in fact Maui people generally
all jumped into the plans with en-
thusiasm and made the meet the
success that it was.
