terday, it cannot be said that the finish OF
the big meeting was success.
During the forenoon the sport was all
that could be desired. Some capital courses
were run and the crowd of spectators was
il anything larger than on the previous
Sunday, but during the afternoon the
hares became scarce and those that were
found gave anything but satisfactory trials.
Indeed. it was eventually found necessary
TO divide the first and second money be-
tween five of the dogs, as there was not
sufficient number of hares of any kind in
the fields.
This caused considerable grumbling
among many of the sportsmeD, and the
officers of the club came in for some sharp
criticism, and especially was this the case
among those who kept their dogs in train
Ing during the week for the Consolation
stake at considerable expense. Mistakes
and dIsappOintments will happen, of
course, 10 the most careful, but such one
as this no club can afford TO commit sec
ond time, hence it is hoped that the San
Francisco Club, which has done hitherto
so well, will not again be caught mapping.
The sport commenced with Depend On

best of the run up, and then commenced as

run took the turns and drove for two or
three sharp points before his opponent
got in. Then Dashaway went to work
with will. and after some clever work by
both dogs the latter outwOrked the former
and got the verdict. 1t was a very fine
course.

Long John and Occidental had a good
course, but John was TOO much for him
