Make Happy" is making good and
is exceeding what was promised for
it by the committee in charge. It's
gates swung open to the public at 10
o'clock Saturday morning and from
the start it ran along as smoothly as
well oiled and perfectly tuned up
machine. During the morning hours
of Saturday tho public drifted in SLOW
ly but in growing volume as the noon
hour passed and when the first race
was announced the grand stand was
well filled and more and more kept
coming in until the baseball game was
we'll under way. In the evening there
was a fairly good crowd in the grand
stand and as many or more drifting
from show to show and concession to
concession in the Joy Zone" 1t was
perfectly satisfactory opening day
crowd.
Close Races Run
With three races of the seven that
made up the first days racing card
SO hotly contested as to bring the
crowds to their feet, shouting, cheer
ing and urging on as one man, nothing
further need be said OF the races than
that they were true to Maui form in
the long years that horse racing has
held the belt of popularity in Valley
Isle sports. The full story of the first
days appears on another page.
Baseball followed right on the heels
of the races and il was ball of the
same type and class that thrilled the
fans the previous Sunday. The Wacs
and the Sports were scheduled to open
the elimination tournament and 1t
took eleven hard fought innings to de-
eide supremacy, the Wacs putting the
winning run across in the first half of
the second extra session when one
- man was down.
Fine Night Program
Some staid right in the grounds,
others went out to dinner and still
others who had not been able to get to
kahului for the afternoon sports came
for the evening. The program of en-
terfainmen, by Court LunalilO in front
of the grand stand was somewhat
CHARGED owing to the fact that Valley
Isle Circles entertainment Tuesday
night is to be much of the character
as the one that had been planned foI
Saturday night, as Executive Secre
tary J. Garcia announced in an early
intermission.
In an intermission J. Garcia called
on NJ. G. Paschoal to introduce Frank

them with a vim.
