NEW BONELESS ROLLED BEEF (50 lb. kegs) fourth of July Meet hi llootulu l'ark n Success. Fine weather, fashionable crowds, and fast horses characterized Hilo's third annual race meet and made it one that will long be remembered. Everything that could be had to make the day successful was on hand, and from the time Mollie Connors carried off the first race to the crack of the pistol in the fat man's race, when Mr. Shaw won in a furious break neck waddle, the sport was all that could be de sired. The day was superb. Light showers in the morning served to wet down the track and get it into good condition, and although it was a trifle slow the time made was far above the average. The first race, a half mile dash, opened up with a decided dump for the talent. Three horses, Irank S, Del Vista and Mollie Connors, faced the flag, and of the bunch the wise ones played the Vista mare for first place. It was a beautiful race, with the start slightly in Mollie's favor. By clever hand riding Thomas swerved over from the outside and took the pole, opening up a gap ot three lengths in the first furlong. From that time on it was all his own way, but Golden made a noble at tempt to cut down the distance at the half. The whip was plied and a length cut down, but the effort was too much for the son of Al mont. Del Vista, who was two lengths behind Frank S now began to come up, but they turned into the stretch in the same order. It was Mollie's race easily, but Frank S gave up at the three-eighths, and Del Vista came in lengths to the better of the black although our and a half lengths behind Thomas' mount. The time was 150. The second race was the six fur longs dash, with Nullah, Carter Harrison and Rejected facing the music. After the usual tinkering the horses got away Nullah having the best of the deal. Piggott opened up two lengths of daylight between his mount and Carter, but as they thunderod ly the- ntaua it could be seen that Thomas had his horse well in hand. So they went to the half, when Thomas gave his horse the hurry up call and started for the doctor. Piggot heard him coming and punished his mare, but it was too late, for with a few last leaps, Carter swept under the wire a length to the good. Rejected, with Vidi up, was lost in the shuffle. Time, 1:17. The harness horses furnished the next dance on the program, getting away on the third score. It was a good start with Wayboy at the pole. The sorrel opened up two lengths in the first quarter, adding another as they passed the stand. At the three quarters pole Gibson let Sambo out a link or two, and cut down part of the distance, but Wayboy was equal to it and kept safely out of danger, winning by two lengths. Cordelia Mc, piloted by Lyman, also started but stopped for a picnic on the other side of the track. The time was 2:23. The next two heats were in the form of processions. Gibson put Sambo out at the start opening up a gap large enough for an elephant to play tag in. When Judd came to catch up with the black it was too much for the sorrel, and Sambo won three lengths to the good in 2!2oj4. The third heat was a fac simile of the second, with the ex ception that Wayboy broke most of the way round.

I tafy horse cloned tip the daylight bclwcetl Dixie Laud and himself, but was unable to come alongside. In the same order the horses passed thcthird quarter and turned into the back stretch. Then Piggott and Golden suddenly awoke to the enormity of the contract on their hands and with whips going like flails, they made a noble effort to cut down the distance. McAuliffc, by furious hand riding kept a length ahead of the black, and in that or der they swept under the wire. Cronje was two lengths behind Dixie Laud. Time, 1:47. The Japanese race furnished the usual amount of amusement, a sor rel' horse named Charley doing the trick. Geo. Thomas knocked the wise ones iti a heap in the five furlongs race for Hawaiian breds. 'I he start was good but Piggott who was riding Puna Boy, began to ad minister various kinds of anti-slum ber powders in the shape of a whip, before the race had barely started. Thomas on Humuula Queen and Vidi on the King of Hawaii went on their way rejoic ing leaving Piggott to his own troubles. As they passed the stand the King led the Queen by a length, but while Vidi had his horse pretty well out, it could be easily seen that Thomas was riding pulled up. The King's spurt began to tell for the two horses swept past the third pole with three lengths of daylight between them. Then Thomas let out the Humuula marc, and the royal pair swept past the halt with the lady's nose in front. It needed the bat all the way home to keep the Queen up to her pace, but she was equal to it and passed under the wire half a length to the good, both horses being out to the last notch. The time was 1:10. In the special trotting and pacing race, Gibson took Cordelia Mc and made him step along in a manner that was a revelation to those who had seen him going picnicing earlier in the day. The old horse led all the way round. The weather was too warm for Snow bird, who soared in second, four lengths to the bad. Walter P. was unnble to keep on his feet nnd so was practically out of it. Time, 2:43- In the five-eighths Nullah, Fierro, Rejected and Mollie Connors faced the music and got away in the prettiest start of the day. As they swept past the stand, Mollie led Nullah by a nose, while the others had already been lost in the shuffle. At the half Mollie had opened up two lengths of distance with Nullah second, but as they turned into the stretch, Piggott called on his mount for every ounce there was in her, and with whip "going like a trip hammer, the game little polo pony made a furious effort to close up the distance. She failed by only half a length, but the sorrel mare was too fast and won in 1:03. In the mile race, Weller settled forever his question of supremacy over Del Vista. Cronje was the other horse to start. The horses got away after the usual trouble with Del Vista a length to the good. Weller passed the mare at the quarter and immediately began to open up a lead. A length was added with every quarter, so that by the time the wire was reached the sorrel was three lengths to the good and was running pulled up. The time was 1:47. A Japanese race completed the program. The standing of the jockeys for the two days is as follows: SVEA- INSURANCE COMPANY Of (lotlicntuirR, Sweden Assets (Home Office) .... ?7.3.G.'3 Assets iti U. 8.

The horses got away with Fierro decidedly the best of it, there being daylight between him self and the field. At the quarter Golden brought the black up along side, and together they thundered past the pole with the general two lengths to the rear.
