Tommy Hall of Merced. who is thor
ough sportsman and a great admirer OF
gEeyhounds. was unfortunate in having
three of his dogs defeated at Huron. s. D.,
for the Columbus cup on October 3.
Hail iourneyed from Merced with the
well-known flyers Ban Boy, Joe McAuliife
= and Dazzle, all three OF which were de-
feated according 20 the judge. who. by the
way: has had a very limited experience In
the saddle so far as the Judging OF cours-
Ing meetings are concerned.
The result of the contests IN when Hairs
dogs took part appear in an Eastern ex-
change, and are as follows:
First day and first round, Joe McAullffe
VS.. Naney-An interesting course. Joe
fairly OUTRAGED Nancy in long run-np,
and soon got quite busy, but the bltch was
not TO be denied, and, nicking in cleverly,
set to work with a Will. The Californian
never lost an opportunity, but the bitch
evened up accounts, and, bringing the hare
right around and back toward the specta-
@toTS, soon had a balance IN her favor
Twice Joe made gallant effort for pos
session, but Nancy res pOnded gamey, and,
driving puss along, hoed her within a
hundred yards of where they were slipped !;
a wel-earned victory for the bitch.
. St Lawrence VS.. Ban Boy-Ban Boy bull
lied the puppy BIT, so they were put in
single slips. A no course was followed bv
a pretty bit of work. Brett got them well
off aud ST. Lawrence soon had puss guess
ing; he fell. but made up his ground, and
as they spun around almost knocked Ban
Boy. off his feet After some pretty give
apd-take Ban Boy got possession; stick
ing tight to his hare he kept the black
and white lodging about for an opening.
and soon had balance to his credit. AS
puss broke away for patch Of corn 81.
Lawrence drew out from the Californian.
but the hare was lost, and Ban Boy we'll
deSerY ed the credit be received.
=" Ramona VS.. DaZZle-From capital slip
they raced neck and neck until Ramona
just showed in front for the turn. She
had the best of some smart exchanges, got
in fnA short inning and was clever WIN
per when they chopped the hare.
Second day, Princess May VS.. Ban Boy
The bitch led Ban Boy and went on for
nice sequence. Ban Boy nicked in and
almost balanced matters, when the PrIn-
cess got in again for another series.
after some exchanges he went by aud
feckedthe hare and fell; the bitch got
busy again, but Ban Boy was not TO be de-
MED and twice he raced past her. lie
GRADUALLY drew ahead in long lead to
co1eIt and won long and holly contested
course with little lead to spare.
Thfrd day, Laplander VS.. Ban Boy-The
former led up length and. keeping mis-
place scored three times. Ban Boy
vrenched twice, and lot Of clever eX-
changing followed. They ran their hare
in circle twice. when she broke away to
the right end of the line. Ban Boy raced
past Laplander and had JUST about evened
no accounts, when the latter got in again
for, a short score and placed the CalifOr-
nian, who wrenched four times, turned his
game, and, after an exchange, triI ped it.
This placed Laplander. VINO wrenche0
twice, but Ban Boy drow out and brought
:of.a dasbing kill. We thought he had won
until the flag went up for Laplander.
It will be noticed that the reporter.
although making no comments, was Of the
opinion that Ban Boy had won until the
Judges ordered the colors under which
Iaplander was running to be hoisted. 1t
Isl: evident that Ban Boy looked to be a
dangerous game for Nancy and Prince
: Charley to tackle, and possibly the judge
figured accordingly when Ban Boy was
pfling up points in his favor toward the
ann nf the race with Iaplander,
