Aloha Nūhou Monday!
The exhibit on the third floor of Hawaiian Hall celebrating the bicentennial of printing in Hawaiʻi continues. We just turned to a new page of Ka Nupepa Kuokoa! One of the articles you will see describes the different races held at the track in Kapiʻolani Park for Kamehameha Day featuring various horse races, a mule race, and even a people race!
Kapiʻolani Park horse races were popular entertainment in the Park’s early days. Here is a short description of another race held there later in the same year.
