enough to use that wealthand influence through othor con-

Ed The IndependentAt tho annual meoting of tho

Maui Racing Association whichtook place in tho court house inWailuku on the 7th iost tho uowsooretnry nssiatod by a loud shout-ing

¬

colleague neither of whom everhad a horse on tho track horo intheir lives and in all probabilitynever will havo took it upon himself to lake tho program which hadbeen previously arrangod by anexecutive committoo of threo gen-

tlemen¬

appointed for this purpijsoand proceeded without much showof regard for tho likes dislikes oropinions of anyone elso present toalter cut slash trim and lop offhere and there until it did not muohresemble the origiual program thathad been carefully arranged by thoaforementioned committee of gen ¬

tlemen a few mild protestationsfrom those present being scarcelyheeded at all in fact assumed aboutthe same kind of dictatorship overus as tho lato President Barrios ofGuatemala famo did over his sub-jects

¬

I sincerely hope that it will notresult as disastrously to him as itdid to the Guatemalan who sud ¬

denly found himself with his braiuslying scatten d around on all sidesof him from coming in contnot witha pistol bullet But I hardly an-

ticipate¬

such serious results becausewe are not quite so belligerent uphoro on Maui jib they aro down thatway and wo aro also more lougsuffering under our dictatorship

Among tho things that theylopped off was 50 from tho free-for-a- ll

trotting puree making it 100

iustod of 150 as it had been ar-

ranged¬

by the committee they argu-ing

¬

that 100 was enough for thisrace

Now I would like to ask any maneither a horseman or any other kindof a man what sort of a purse is

100 to offer for a free-for-a- ll trotand that too in an event that onlycomes off once a year Why thomere mention of suoh a thing wouldbe a high handed insult to a thirdclass Chinese paka pio fiend or aBarbary coast tin horn gambler

The other trot which was ar-

ranged¬

by the committee was notohanged it being tho magnificentsum of 75 for tho 805 olass I havoa promisiugcolt that cau beat 805but I will make him earn his oats asa Baddlo horse before I will everstart him for suoh a mossly sum asthat

It looks now as though when tho4th of July 1898 aotually comesthat tho now seoretary and his loudshouting constituents may be calledupon to contest some of the raceswith their own large strings ofhorses which the public novor sawor hoard of

I would also like to inform thoaforementioned gontlemen and Ihopo that tho management in Hono-

lulu¬

will take a gentle hint toothat this too frequent plan of theirsof sitting down on tho horsemennnd using them as if they wereyaller dogs always results disas-

trously¬

to themselves nnd neverpays even with a yaller dog becausewith decent treatment ho will re

ward ynu with a wag of his tail oncoin a while instead pf an ugly sullenlook

I havo known of moro than onoassociation going to tho wall andgoing thoro a fluking too justthrough this discourteous nnd dis-

honorable¬

treatmont of the horsoownors who as ovory sonslblo manknows aro tho backbone of theturf and again I have known thoopposito treatment to havo thoopposite effoct as witness tho twotowns of Woodland and MontoroyGal whoso raco meetings have onlybeon running a fow years but whothrough their affable courteous andliberal treatment of the horsomonwho como to take part in theirmootings havo swelled tho attend ¬

ance of cash paying spectators tosuch an extent as to rival tho meet ¬

ings hold in the large cities ofSacramento Stockton San Jose etoand it is uow a common remark ofall the great reins men such as Mc ¬

Dowell Hickok Keating DurfeoMaben and others on starting outon tho grand circuit in the springwith tboir big strings of horsesBomo going east some to Montanasome to Denver and Salt Lako andothers to the Oregon and Washing-ton

¬

circuit Well Im off but Imgoing to try and get back in time totake in tho Woodland aud Montereymeetings on account of the generousand gentlemanly treatmont that weget there

Again the practice in vogue inHonolulu of charging horsomon afeo for training each horso on thotrack is certainly a very perniciousone and should be abandoned

Whenever a now track is openedand a new association formed inother countries tho management in-

variably¬

come out with an announce-ment

¬

offering every inducement intheir powor to induce tho horsemenfrom the surrounding country tocomo to their track and train theirhorses always furnishing stablingbedding water and use of track allfree of charge and I do not seo whyit should not bo the same hero As

for myself I shall quietly withdrawfrom any participation in any of thefuture meetings of tho Maui RacingAssociation at luast until thoro is

some change mado from the presentmethods and follow in the wake ofmy predecessors who havo done thosamo thing from time to time andfor the same reason that I have tha tboing non apprnoiution of theyaller dog treatment first

Messrs Ballentine and Hornersecond Messrs Cummins aud Gayand third and lately Messrs Cornwell aud Decker

During my term of eleven yearsmembership with this associationwhich dates back to tho time of itsorganization I have paid severalhundred dollars into it in ontrancofoes dues otc and during that timehave been fined and paid it tooand robbed out of races and no onoever heard me kick oither whileabout all that tho association evergot out of those gentlemanly ap ¬

pearing follows who assumed somuch authority over us now inaddition to their duos which I presumo that thoy paid was theirgenial prosence at all of the meetswhich was worth something pro-

bably¬

The administration of our formersecretary Mr Kepoikai was by farthe best that wo have over had ashe was not only always ready andwilling but oven anxious to co ¬

operate with us in any manner thathe was able but our country neededhim and wo had to givo him up atleast for a time

In conclusion I will state that iftho members of tho association donot stand in together and call a haltwith this dictatorship businesspretty soon I seo no other way outof difficulty only for tho horseowners trainers and drivers of thocountry which would include boHilo District whero I am informeda track is about to be built and anassociation formed to form an asso-

ciation¬

for their own protection inwhich caso they could bring thewouldbo bosses to tormo mightyquiok and make them oat humblopio or crow or anything they liked

M old friend Whoodorti Winters

of Norfolk fame fixod an associa-

tion¬

once in n great shape that triedto sit down upon him by giving ameoting at his own track on thosame date of their advertised meot ¬

ing giving far moro liboral puritestlinu thoy had evor offorod and ofcourse the horso loving public turn ¬

ed out to his meeting in a bodymaking it a grand success while tboassociation found thomsolves in thosoup with neither entries or specta ¬

tors and they were mighty glad tocomo around and bog him to disoontinuo giving meotings which hedid but they did not try to sit downon him any more

In case noither of thosethings aro done I prediot thatgonuine racing that is clean honestsport such as wo all desire to seewill become a doad letter or a thingof the past and will bo narroweddown to very commonplaco contestsbetween old saddlo plugs scrubponies and mules thereby resem-bling

Ed The IndependentAt tho annual meoting of tho

Maui Racing Association whichtook place in tho court house inWailuku on the 7th iost tho uowsooretnry nssiatod by a loud shout-ing

¬

colleague neither of whom everhad a horse on tho track horo intheir lives and in all probabilitynever will havo took it upon himself to lake tho program which hadbeen previously arrangod by anexecutive committoo of threo gen-

tlemen¬

appointed for this purpijsoand proceeded without much showof regard for tho likes dislikes oropinions of anyone elso present toalter cut slash trim and lop offhere and there until it did not muohresemble the origiual program thathad been carefully arranged by thoaforementioned committee of gen ¬

tlemen a few mild protestationsfrom those present being scarcelyheeded at all in fact assumed aboutthe same kind of dictatorship overus as tho lato President Barrios ofGuatemala famo did over his sub-jects

¬

I sincerely hope that it will notresult as disastrously to him as itdid to the Guatemalan who sud ¬

denly found himself with his braiuslying scatten d around on all sidesof him from coming in contnot witha pistol bullet But I hardly an-

ticipate¬

such serious results becausewe are not quite so belligerent uphoro on Maui jib they aro down thatway and wo aro also more lougsuffering under our dictatorship

Among tho things that theylopped off was 50 from tho free-for-a- ll

trotting puree making it 100

iustod of 150 as it had been ar-

ranged¬

by the committee they argu-ing

¬

that 100 was enough for thisrace

Now I would like to ask any maneither a horseman or any other kindof a man what sort of a purse is

100 to offer for a free-for-a- ll trotand that too in an event that onlycomes off once a year Why thomere mention of suoh a thing wouldbe a high handed insult to a thirdclass Chinese paka pio fiend or aBarbary coast tin horn gambler

The other trot which was ar-

ranged¬

by the committee was notohanged it being tho magnificentsum of 75 for tho 805 olass I havoa promisiugcolt that cau beat 805but I will make him earn his oats asa Baddlo horse before I will everstart him for suoh a mossly sum asthat

It looks now as though when tho4th of July 1898 aotually comesthat tho now seoretary and his loudshouting constituents may be calledupon to contest some of the raceswith their own large strings ofhorses which the public novor sawor hoard of

I would also like to inform thoaforementioned gontlemen and Ihopo that tho management in Hono-

lulu¬

will take a gentle hint toothat this too frequent plan of theirsof sitting down on tho horsemennnd using them as if they wereyaller dogs always results disas-

trously¬

to themselves nnd neverpays even with a yaller dog becausewith decent treatment ho will re

ward ynu with a wag of his tail oncoin a while instead pf an ugly sullenlook

I havo known of moro than onoassociation going to tho wall andgoing thoro a fluking too justthrough this discourteous nnd dis-

honorable¬

treatmont of the horsoownors who as ovory sonslblo manknows aro tho backbone of theturf and again I have known thoopposito treatment to havo thoopposite effoct as witness tho twotowns of Woodland and MontoroyGal whoso raco meetings have onlybeon running a fow years but whothrough their affable courteous andliberal treatment of the horsomonwho como to take part in theirmootings havo swelled tho attend ¬

ance of cash paying spectators tosuch an extent as to rival tho meet ¬

ings hold in the large cities ofSacramento Stockton San Jose etoand it is uow a common remark ofall the great reins men such as Mc ¬

Dowell Hickok Keating DurfeoMaben and others on starting outon tho grand circuit in the springwith tboir big strings of horsesBomo going east some to Montanasome to Denver and Salt Lako andothers to the Oregon and Washing-ton

¬

circuit Well Im off but Imgoing to try and get back in time totake in tho Woodland aud Montereymeetings on account of the generousand gentlemanly treatmont that weget there

Again the practice in vogue inHonolulu of charging horsomon afeo for training each horso on thotrack is certainly a very perniciousone and should be abandoned

Whenever a now track is openedand a new association formed inother countries tho management in-

variably¬

come out with an announce-ment

¬

offering every inducement intheir powor to induce tho horsemenfrom the surrounding country tocomo to their track and train theirhorses always furnishing stablingbedding water and use of track allfree of charge and I do not seo whyit should not bo the same hero As

for myself I shall quietly withdrawfrom any participation in any of thefuture meetings of tho Maui RacingAssociation at luast until thoro is

some change mado from the presentmethods and follow in the wake ofmy predecessors who havo done thosamo thing from time to time andfor the same reason that I have tha tboing non apprnoiution of theyaller dog treatment first

Messrs Ballentine and Hornersecond Messrs Cummins aud Gayand third and lately Messrs Cornwell aud Decker

During my term of eleven yearsmembership with this associationwhich dates back to tho time of itsorganization I have paid severalhundred dollars into it in ontrancofoes dues otc and during that timehave been fined and paid it tooand robbed out of races and no onoever heard me kick oither whileabout all that tho association evergot out of those gentlemanly ap ¬

pearing follows who assumed somuch authority over us now inaddition to their duos which I presumo that thoy paid was theirgenial prosence at all of the meetswhich was worth something pro-

bably¬

The administration of our formersecretary Mr Kepoikai was by farthe best that wo have over had ashe was not only always ready andwilling but oven anxious to co ¬

operate with us in any manner thathe was able but our country neededhim and wo had to givo him up atleast for a time

In conclusion I will state that iftho members of tho association donot stand in together and call a haltwith this dictatorship businesspretty soon I seo no other way outof difficulty only for tho horseowners trainers and drivers of thocountry which would include boHilo District whero I am informeda track is about to be built and anassociation formed to form an asso-

ciation¬

for their own protection inwhich caso they could bring thewouldbo bosses to tormo mightyquiok and make them oat humblopio or crow or anything they liked

M old friend Whoodorti Winters

of Norfolk fame fixod an associa-

tion¬

once in n great shape that triedto sit down upon him by giving ameoting at his own track on thosame date of their advertised meot ¬

ing giving far moro liboral puritestlinu thoy had evor offorod and ofcourse the horso loving public turn ¬

ed out to his meeting in a bodymaking it a grand success while tboassociation found thomsolves in thosoup with neither entries or specta ¬

tors and they were mighty glad tocomo around and bog him to disoontinuo giving meotings which hedid but they did not try to sit downon him any more

In case noither of thosethings aro done I prediot thatgonuine racing that is clean honestsport such as wo all desire to seewill become a doad letter or a thingof the past and will bo narroweddown to very commonplaco contestsbetween old saddlo plugs scrubponies and mules thereby resem-bling

¬

moro the Indian pony racesamong tho North American tribeswhere thoy bot blankets saddlesguns knives pistoK ponios andoven womon and ohildron morothau the racos among our own peo-
