LITTLE BANSHEE is FIRST.
The Greatest Coursing Event In
America.
JACK DEMPSEY SECOND WINNER.
Four Hundred People Assemble to
Witness the Running OF the
Hounds After the fiares.

the sIxty-four-dog stake which was CON-
menced last Thursday at Newark met
Yesterday on the same grounds to settle
the question of superiority, and most
assuredly a greater days sport was never
witnessed on the American continent.
The day was simply glorious-oDe Of
California's best-and the grounds of the
park could not well be improved on.
Fully four hundred people assembled to
see the sport, and the stand was crowded
with ladies. The officers were the same
as on Thursday, and it is nc exaggeration
to say that each and all of them simply
outdii all previous records.
Not a single bitch or kick occurred dur
ing the whole day. and never before did SO
- large a crowd leave any cOursing field so
thoroughly satisfied with glorious days
sport
The Karrigan brothers. who conducted
the pools, must surely have made harvest.
ss we never remember seeing such an
amount of betting on a cOurslng field, and
vel from begin ing to end there was not a
single complaint of favoTitism brought
against them. Indeed in all future affairs
of:the kind they will be warm favOrites
with all who gamble at the coursing fields.
The hares were strong during the day
: course the judging and slipping could not
,*he improved on. The second round Oh the
64-dog stake commenced with:
Jack Dempsey and Swanee. The course
was a short one, Jack getting 1t all, in
GLIDING the kill.
- Mary Ann and Depend on Me had
pretty run to the hare, but Mary Ann got
there first, then the dog had point ana a
wrench, but Mary Ann killed and won.
White Cloud paced and outwOrked the
old veteran GleDfarron, and most assur-
edly he did not show up half as we'll as he
did ON Thursday. The Cloud won easily.
:. Fairy and Longfellow had beautiful
course, Fairy having the best OF II all
: through and won decidedly.
q. Sting and CoOmasSle were about equal
faveriles, and when slipped it was impos-
stble to tell for the first two hundred yards
which was the heetest. The work, too,
was very close. but Sting showed great de-
Termination and beat his beaut ul OppO-
.nent after great effort.
. Snortstrp and little Pride OF the Park
had also great spin, but the dog wore her
down and won great course.
- Queen of the Valley and Dark Rustic
ha1 a great race to the hare. The Queen
got there first by length. but Rustic
made it warm tor time ana showed up
well In all the movements OF fine trial,
but the Queen proved too much for him
and won sttine course.
8: " llSy Queen simply showed that Garry
-accin got into the second round by some
eor.dent, as II was evident from this
parse THAT he was in very strange CON-
. by.
.shs.. aud on being slipped the Australian
q Lowell at once in front and opened wide
gap,xf5at after travelling 200 yards he
seemed to let GO and Barry passed him
and got one OF two Turns when Waratch
came up again. but pus fell before he could
even things up.
20 Spokane beat Blue Jack easily. Magpie

killed, getting the verdict. It was close
thing. and mad it been undecided no one
would be surprised.
White Cloud ran away from Fairy and
picked I'D the game in run.
JShortStop beat Sting with comparative
ease. "
The course between Queen of the Valley
and Valley Queen was surprise, as the
old favorites seemed utterly una bic to cope
with the Queen from the Petaluma region.
She was suffering. however, from several
causes.
Barry showed his heels to Spokane in
0 decided manner, and OF course won.
Magpie, to the great astOnishmept of all,
beat DOtty Dimple poIntless.
(. Vida Shaw led Wee Lassie to the hare in

q good course. the dog being too fast and
too clever for her.
Barney + beat Maple in a scrampling
