AFTER THE HARES
Interesting Coursing at
Ocean View.
THE sHoRTENDERs ON TOP.
The Final Between Dolly Warden
and Coomassie Postponed
Owing to Darkness.

Inc courslDR AZ ocean NleW yesterday
was more than usually interesting from
the fact that it was a thirty-two-dog stake.
the competing hounds being some of the
best in the State.
No finer day could be imagined for the
sport and the field was in the best con-
dition. There was no scarcity OF hares.
and those that left cover were as lively as
could be desired.
There were number of surprises dur
ing the day. several of the best favOrites
being very badly beaten, the odds going in
soma instances from So to 81.
The c0ursing opened with Magpie and
Native Son being led 10 the slips. A lively
hare was started. and the hounds started.
the betting was 2 to l on Native Son.
The course was very spirited one. both
dogs running at times neck and neck.
Finally Magpie got the lead and killed.
Relief and Mollie II followed in race
after one of the liveIiest hares that ever
ran across a c0ursing field. The betting
was almost even in this race, but Molle II
soon showed her superiority and won
money for her hackers.
The next race was between Fairy and
Glenfarron, two crack dogs with good rec
ordS. There was no discrimination in the
betting, as the dogs were supposed to be
evenly matched. Fairy got the lead and
kept it, closely followed by Glenfarron.
and Fairy got spnrt and killed.
LongfelOw and Valley Queen next left
the slips. the latter being the favorite at
81 80 TO So. The course was very good
one. and for time, on account of the
length OF the race, it was not known which
dog would win. A number of side bets
were made on the race. Longfellow, how
ever. proved the victor.
The well-kn0wI Dolly Warden ran
grand course with Dashing Wave. and the
/ jack they followed over the field gave them
Il lively chase. At one time it was thought
the hare would leave the hounds behind.
Dolly Warden made splendid turn, which
ELECTED cheers from the spectators, and
won the course in great style.
! In the next race Queen Bess and Active
! ran, the former being favOrite at 50 so to
| 81. Active dumped the talent with dull
thnd. as he beat Queen Bess very easily.
! Vida Shaw ran away with Buster in
long field race. and gave her opponent no
! show whatever.
Governess easily ran away with Piumas.
the race being short and uninteresting.
The race between Barney and Garry
owen was all interesting one, as there
were two runs off. Even money was
| placed on this race. Barney won the race
/ with splendid squirt.
The talent again got left on the race be-
| tween Mary Ann and Blue Jacket, the
! betting being 81 80 on the latter dog to 81
on the former. Mary Ann proved an easy
| victor.
The best race of the day followed, when
Oluen w and Long John were led to the
| slips. great deal was expected from
this race. as Olden WsOme weeks ago won
| first prize against great odds. and Long
John ran on his reputation.
! When the course began Long John OBJ
tanned the lead. closely followed by Olden

| There was great kick over the decision,
| as there was considerable money on the
race. Many claimed that Long John had
won, but the Judge, Eddie Caravan, was
sustained in his decision. He declined to
judge, but was compelled TO take the field
again, and was cheered when he again
took to horse.
Matte. in the next race, ran away with
Swede in a good long race across field, the
hills proving little too severe for the
latter dog.
Sculptor and Home Rule gave good ex-
hibition of their powers as racers. bus The
former won easily on points.
CoOmasse ran away with Free Coinage
giviog the latter dog hardly any show at
all.
Dashaway beat John w. in a walkover.
There were three undecided courses in
the next race. Occidental and Wee Lassie
being the contestants. Points were even
In the hrst three courses, but when the
| fourth course was run both dogs were
rather weak. There was very little chang
ing in the betting, however. Occidental
hnally won in great kill, but was hard
pressed by his opponent
