Pleasant Afternoon at the Kapio lani Pari Tract FIELDS WERE QUITE SMALL Two Bicycle Events Wela Ka Hao a Wlnnei Irish Lassie a Good One Several Running Races. There was a general suspeasion of business in town ca Saturday after noon and people flocked to Kapiolani Park to witness the races. The grand stand was quickly filled as was the Jockey club and private stands. The space immediately to the right and left of the judges' stand was occupied by a large number of carriages. The band, stationed in the grand stand, was a great addition to the proceedings cf the afternoon. The day was a fine cne but, if any thing, a little too windy. The time made by the horses was not very good but this was perhaps due as much to the lack of sufficient training as to the wind. Perhaps more. The best event was undoubtedly the pacing race between "Violin" and "Irish Lassie." The events were as fol lows: First race Pacific Cycle and Manu facturing Co.'s purse of $25. One mile dash for professionals. The time limit was set at 2:25. Jones, Sylva, Sylvester and Jackson made two attempts but failed to make it in the time men tioned. The limit was then set at 2:35 and Jones won the race in 2:291&. Sylvester, second. Sylva was not in the race from the start. Second race mile running for Hawaiian bred horses.

Royalist, Joe Daniels and Twin kle started. Royalist was 'the favorite from the beginning.

Time, 51 1-5 Fifth race 1 mile dash for amateurs, to beat 2:45 or no race. Hawaiian Bicycle Co.'s purse of $15. Ludloff, F. Williams. King and H. A. Giles started.

Kapea will hang alone at Oahu pris on this forenoon. The Council of State has commuted the death sentence of Kaio to imprisonment for life at hard labor. It took about half an hour on Saturday afternoon for the Council to reach this vote. The report of the special committee that had been ap pointed to go over the evidence was given verbally at some length. After considerable discussion of the same tenor as that indulged in on Thursday last, the motion to commute was offer ed and was passed without a negative vote. One member said he did not care to vote, but would go on record with the majority if his name were required to make the sufficient number. Anxiety and doubt were removed at once from the minds of the officials who will direct the execution. They had been waiting with with the keenest interest, the outcome of the Council's deliberations, as considerable differ ence would be made in preparation. It is supposed that the execution will oc cur about 10 a. m. Kapea is the man who assassinated Dr. J. K. Smith on Kauai. He is the son of Kaio, whose life has been saved by the interven tion of the pardoning power. Since be ing in the prison, both men have era brased the Catholic faitih, and are at tended daily by a priest. Both are in good health and Kapea does not seem greatly moved by knowledge of the certainty of the doom that is before him. -AND MANAGERS Take Notice, The Hawaiian News Co. is offering a line of the latest BASEBALL GOODS, such as GLOVES, MASKS, BALLS and BATS at a reduced figure.
