The finish of the Golden Vests Coursing
Clubs fall meeting occurred yesterday in
Ocean View Park. The day was not as
pleasant as last Sunday, nor did the hares
run so well, especially in the early part of
the day. There were seven dogs left in the
alleged stake series last Sunday and of
these Catherine Hayes, Dan b and Play
Boy were considered the best, and of these
three Catherine was looked upon by nine
tenths of the cOursing men as the pick OF
tile basket, and well did she sustain the
opinions of her admirers, for in neither Of
tile three courses she ran did she allow her
opponents TO even get in point Catherine
HAYES is now about years old and this
was the seventh or eighth time she has been
n winner.
Tie following was the order of running:
THIRD ROUND.
Tom Moore aud Play Boy were the first
pair to be called to the slips, the former
favorite at . to !, and on being sent away
to a good hare the poets namesake W as
seen TO be slightly in the lead, but just then
the hare bent toward Play Boy, placing
him several yards IN advance of his OPP
pOnent On nearing his game b e made
drive to kill, missed ard got terrible fall,
letting in Tom Moore, after which Play
Boy never had chance, Tom winning
easily.
Dan and Pippin Jr. were the next
pair in order. On going away from the
Slips Pippin took the lead, and held it for
about a hundred yards when he seemed to
tire, allowing Dan to pass him; but the
hare was more than match for either OF
them, making good his escape from Dan B
without even allowing him turn. Dan Is
won the course.
Kathleen and Peter Jackson were the
next pair brought out, the former beng the
favOrIte at . y to IL. On being slipped both
dogs ran neck and neck for 200 yards and
then Kathleen shot out and struck her game
some five or six yards ahead OF her oppE-
nent, and again served herself, letting Peter
in for n couple of points, when again she
took command, killed and won q pretty
course.
Catherine HAYES ran bye.
FOURTH ROUND.
Dan B and Tom Moore were the first pair
in this round, but they were slipped to a
poor hare, which gave a very poor triai of
the respective merits of the dogs, but Dan
certainly had the best of it and won.
Catherine Hayes and Kathleen were the
handed 10 the slipper and each of the dog
were backed freely in The pools, though the
former was made the fayOrite at TO p
The hare to which they were slipped was
not good one, but Catherine led from the
slips and did all that was in a short course,
killed and won.
The final course was therefore left to Dan
b and Catherine Hayes, but neither Of the
each of the dogs were Immediately ordered
into slips for the final. The bettOrs stuck
TO Catherine and offered 10 on her, and
some lively betting went on until they were
really slipped, when the old girl shot TO the
front and picked up the hare after a run of
about 800 yards, never allowing Dan B a
point.
P. Tiernan's Catherine Hayes won first
prize, $50; I. J. Cronin's Dan B, second,
$40; j. j. Brady's Tom Moore, S25, and I.
j. Ur0nin's Kathleen, SIS,
THE PUPPY STAKE.
After the first round last Sunday seven
dogs remained in the puppy stake. From
the commencement it was evident that
there were only two of the seven that had a
chance for first or second money in this
event, and The running yesterday proved
tie correctness OF this view. +. Canty'S
Chicopee and Chief Of the Valley cleared
tie field Of all opposition in the most hol-
low manner; and TO satisfy himself, and
the crowd as well, as to which Of the two
was the best, the owner ran them against
each other in the final But in this course
Chief OF the Valley proved himself superior
10 his companion, winning the course with
ease The Chief Of the Valley took, there
FIRE, first money, S2j, and Chieopee second,
So. NJ. Shanahan's Annie and Ed Cana
vans Cleverness won 81 80 each.
THE CONSULTATIONS.
There was a consolation stake for the
beaten dogs Of the all-aged stake, for which
ten Of them entered. In this stake was
seen the best running OF the day, especially
the courses between Nelly Bly, and Dash
away and between Play Boy and L acka-
wanna. but 7. J. Cronin's Jennie con-
quered all corners and eventually won the
stake, b. DUugherty's Lackawanna being
the runner-up. The former received S25
and the latter $50 and Play Boy $40.
John Grace Officiated as Judge. TO the en-
tire satisfaction OF all concerned, and James
Wren was also successful in his handling of
the leash. The meeting was a great sue
cess, ami no one is deserving of more praise
than the courteous Secretary of the club,
Eugene Geary, to whose care and untiring
energy the Golden West owes its prosperity.
