RACING MEET
FULL OF SNAP
JULY FOURTH
Excellent Sport Furnished and
Events Run Off With Celer-
ity That Keeps Spectators
Well Pleased.

With a splendidly arranged pro-
gram run off with such clocklike pre-
cision that there were no wearisome
waits OF delays the annual Fourth of
July race meet under the auspices of
the Maui County Fair and Racing AS
sociation entertained and kept inter-
ested for nearly four hours a crowd
that practically filled the grandstand
and overfiowed to the bleachers. Ideal
weather added to the enjoyment of
the crowd. Mohawk Boy, with three
wins to his credits was the equine
hero of the meet, winning as he did
in competition while grand Kapiolani
was almost in a class by herself in
the free for all events. 1t was there
that the only real disappointments ap-
peared for Waimea had injured his
foot and was scratched and DR.. Ray
mond's horses, Mort and The Calmer
had not had sufficient work to condi-
ton. Before scratching both of he
for the sixteent brace he said he had
entered them only to insure the fill
ing of the cards and with little ex-
pectation of their making the show
ing that would be expected of them
were they IN shape.
Sportsmanship Keen
In the harness race for one armed
drivers, Welcome Boy was driven by
F. B. Cameron and Denervo by Angus
McPhee. In the first heat Denervo
broke badly and it was easily We'll
come Boy. The second heat both
animals travelled beautifully and De-
nervo won. The third heat a sea
plane was overhead, circling over the
grounds and both horses tried to
Jump its shadow every time one was
cast in front of them, with the result
that the race was series of breaks.
Denervo captured the fourth and final
heat easily.
For the first half mile OF the mile
free for all it was a magnificent race
with Knight o. Glen, Dick Tilburn
and Silburn passing the judges stand
he first time heads tapping. Then
Knight oGlen and Dick Tilburn drew
away and finished in the order named.
Mohawk Boy scored his first win in
the half mile dash for cattle ponies,
winning mighty pretty race; took
honors again in the mile race for
Portuguese owned and ridden ami
mails and his third win in the half
nile over three hurdles.
Kapiolani in the free for all events
was in splendid shape and never had
% really extend herself.
In the half mile for Hawaiian bred
horses Baby got off to poor start.
Irish Rifle and the Sentinel making
the race and Baby trailing at third
all the way, never making up her
ground lost at the start,
The half mile for Japanese owned
horses brought out a field of eight,
. ninth having Portuguese rider be-
ing barred. 1t was a fine field and
beautiful affair the whole way around.
There was novelty in the horse
shoe race. Five shoes were driven
into the earth at distance of 25 feet.
The riders were to stoop in their sad
die and pick up the largest possible
number of shoes in the shortest space
of time At another meet with prac-
tice at the fancy stunt better show
inc will be made.
II was the mule race that furnished
most fun. II animals lining up for a
standing start. There were all sorts
of eaits shown and the animals trail
ed far back along the track as they
sned or ambled. Huumula. ridden by
Harold F. Rice. won: Poi Dog, Jim
Trim uD. second and Alma Nui Palaha-
'aha. Lorna Won Tempsky up was
third.
First attempt at the cowbov relav
was fiasco. One rider lost his sad
die and the rule as to helpers was
disregarded bv another entrant two
helners instead of one being on the
track and the ehlper of third left
IL, rid
over later with no helpers permitted.
