PROGRAM
INTERESTS
CROWD
Bridgeplayer surprised even her
moat enthusiastic backers when bug
dofeated both Mary Jay and Dlnaor
Ball in tho mllo and a quarter race
nl tlin T.ntrlnn'n Arinlstlcn Day
races. Tho best that was expected
of her was to tako second place and
coupled with the fact that She maro
wad none too well on tho previous
night there was a doubt whether the
Fernandez maro would tako her
place at all.
But It was different when the
raco was run as she stopped right
in front right at the start and was
never headed. Mary Jay ran a z'A
second and Dinner Bell a poor
third.
Dinner Boll has his revenge In the
mllo as ho bested his old rival, Gol
d3ii Spray in this race. Tho old stal
lion made a game raco of it but tho
Sakamoto entry was too strong for
him.
Gold Bryan surprised the fans by
defeating Pegasus quite handily In
the three-eighths, Tyler was running
a bad second up into tho stretch
but ho let Gold Bryan out In tho
last eighth and he breezed in under
the wire by two lengths.
Pegasus took tho quarter as ho
was expected to do from Silver Dust
while Mary Jay romped home in tho
three-quarter without any trouble.
All the races were Interesting ov
en though very little dope was upset.
In fact, the three eighths mile, tho
half mllo and the mile and a quar
ter wero tho only surprises of tho
day.
Tho nation-wide custom of a two
minuto silence at noon was observed
at tho grounds. After the bugler had
blown taps tho entire crowd stood
uncovered for the two minutes of
silent prayer.
"WAIOLI MISSION" WAS
SUBJECT OF MISS DAMON
"Tho Waloli Mission,'' a history of
the founding and development of
missionary work at Hanalel, was the
title of a most interesting paper

Kauai Historical Society at Us meet
ing on Monday night. The Garden
Island hopes to print this account
in full in a coming issue, as one of
the most interesting and valuable
pieces of research work which has
been done on Kauai within recent
years. Tho society approved the In
formal report made by tho commit
tee on marking historic sites, which
is working In conjunction with Mr.
Pugh, vocational training instructor
for Kauai, toward tho adequato mark
ing of tho few interesting anclont
places still remaining to us. A brass
plate with the inscription," "Hauola,
City of ltefuge," was displayed. This
pluto Is to bo affixed to a hugo rock
upon the site of tho old city of re
fuge. Tho "Sunriso Helau" at 'tho
same place will also bo marked.
HIKING CLUB VISITS

FLIVVER BUCKS
Going homo from tho danco at the
Llhue Armory last Saturday night,
Jimmy Brodroro of Kealla had an
automobile accident that was a won
der. Tho wonder was that tho car
culu 1,0 .uP9et ana ana
Jimmy could get out without an In
jury.
As Mr. Brodroro crossed tho rail
road track tho other side of liana
maulu he saw a cow ,Just In front
of him on tho road. Ho swung his
car sharply to the left to miss her
Then to keep from going Into tho
ditch ho had to swing It Just as
sharply back to the right. Tho two
swings put the flivver into a shim
my that it couldn't stand. It sim
ply had to turn over.
Mr. Brodroro was pinned beneath
the car. After working for about 15
minutes ho managed to squeeze out
from under the wreckage. No cow
was in sight then, nor a car. It was
necessary to walk to the nearest
telephone and get another auto be
fore the homeward journoy could
bo continued.

Hko a shot out of a gun. He made
a perfect catch and almost immedi-
"tely after had tho steer thrown. Ho
was off his horse at once and In a
moment had the steer tied. All this
was done In tho short space of 37
seconds. The spectators had an idea
that If this was the first steer and
was thrown In 37 seconds what
would tne time tie on tno later steers
when tho cowboys got over thoir
stage fright and got down to busi
ness. As It was this was tho fastest
time of tho day and was only ap-
proached by William Lindsay, who
was tho last man, on his second try.

The steer tying championship will
rest in Hanalol for tho year to be
contested for next Armistico Day.

of 12 points with Hanamaulu second

Tho potato raco without a doubt
was tho most amusing event of tho

called for good riding and a great
deal of strategy on the part of tho
riders.
