additional thousand pounds of water
melon and sixty more gallons of ice
cream The only man who is not
taking things easy now that every
thing is ready, is Adrian Englehart
the general chairman of the day.
Adrian would like a written guaran-
tee from Jupiter Pluvius, the god of
rain, that he will not be present on
that day. Adrian has been studying
the Grove Farm rainfall statistics of
the last thirty years and has discover
ed that it has not rained on the
Fourth of July but three times in all
that period. He figures that the
odds are ten to one in his favor but
at the same time wishes that he
could be sure of fair weather.
The half mile open promises to be
one of the most exciting races of the
day with Golden Spray, Dinner Bell
and Tashima Boy entered in the
same heat. Racing fans will remem-
Der the great race that the first two
horses ran last February. Golden
Spray won this race which was over
the mile and sixteenth distance.
The hackers of Dinner Bell were
never satisfied with the result and
now have a chance for their revenge.
They claim that Dinner Bell is the
better horse and will show it in this
event. The hackers of Tashima Boy
right distance for their horse and
that he is the best horse of the three
at this distance. Johnny Fernandez
expects Golden Spray to repeat his
victory in the same fashion as he won
last February. This three cornered
affair will be one of the feature af-
fairs of the day and is expected to
cause as much excitement as the
feature races between Bridgeplayer
and Pegasus.
A new entry has been received in
the quarter mile baby race in Mat
suda's Maui Girl. This makes a to-
tai of five horses in this race and a
great deal of good natured rivalry
between the owners of the babies
will make this pretty race.
~Sakamoto's Lady with Antoine
Refs up and Kapaa Boy with Ikuda
up, are two late entries in the gentle
mems race. With these two new
horses and Jimmy Bordero on FOOLS
Luck, j. R. Oxberry on Sookey Blue
Skin, Max Bolte on Welcome Boy and
the lady rider on Mystery will
bring the number of the entries up to
six. Rumor has it that the horse
ridden by the mysterious lady rider
is from Johnny Fernandez's stable
but Johnny refuses to affirm or deny
the rumor.
