At TWO PARKS
Lady Clifton Won the Sapling
Stake at Ocean View
Yesterday.
Magnet Took First Prize at Ingleside,
Firenzi Being the Run.
ner Up.

Fair crowds attended both of the cours-
ing parks yesterday, the fine weather
bringing out many veteran followers of
the leash who failed to attend during the
cold and rainy Sundays OF the winter.
At Ocean View Park a sapl1ng stake
divided interest with the old-dog stake,
and on this particular event the betting
was particularly heavy. Thirteen high
class pups were entered, each owner hop
ing to gain the silver cup that went with
the first cash prize.
The honor of having her name inscribed
on the trophy went to M. O'Connor's Lady
Clifton, smart and fast black bitch, by
Lord Clifton-Rockette who displayed
great speed and worked close enough to
satisfy the most fastidious. Lord Clifton
| is the blueblooded Eastern dog imported
by Martin Kerrigan about year ago, and
Rockette is sister of West Side, whose
performances have been very creditable.
Lady Clifton Is one of the first of Cliff
toms progeny old enough to start and her
performance augurs well for the stock.
The runner-up, Nellie Gray, is remark
ably fast and true worker, but LACKS devel-
opment and therefore staying qualities,
| and will probably DE heard from later on.
The hares ran well, and with few excep-
tions the decisions OF Judge Caravan and
the leash work of Slipper Cranston gave
general satisfaction.

ling stake:
