The Talent True to It's Prestige, but
Suffers an Occasional
Fall

Yesterdays coursing at Ingleside drew
5000 people to the park and the sport was
of a class seldom equaled. There were
two events on the card, the usual weekly
stake, of which the rundown was mad Sat
urday, and q consolation purse made up
of Saturdays losers. In both the dra W.
ing had placed the dogs on a footing OF
equality seldom attained. In consequence
Ihe sport was snappy and taxed the specu-
lstors from the opening course 10 the
S1sls. AS a rule the talent had matters
well in hand, but there was much of the
ding dong. White Lily started it, White
Lily had landed the shortenders Satur-
day, yet the talent again placed her among
the despised, with Systematic selling over
her at 3 to l. The Lily did the trick with
ease.
Then Mohawk, another short" turned
down Swinnerton after two undecideds,
and in the subsequent ties things got
warm. First Black Prince lifted his flag
above GranuaIe. Sarcastic followed and
put out the favorite, Sly Boy. This was
sport and was succeeded by one or two
others, but chiefly in the byes. And
when it came to the finals the knowing
ones recuperated in a manner that shook
the grand stand.
The running itself was exceptional.
Such of the hares as were permitted to
figure in the game were strong and led
the hounds all over the sward. The dogs.
too, were in excellent trim. Some months
ago it was reported that Tessie Fair was
suffering from approaching blindness. II
sne was, then blind dog must be a rat
tling good dog, for she won the consola-
ton event yesterday in a manner that
lifts the value OF greyhound well up in
the hundreds.
Right Bower, winner of the chief stake,
also showed great form. Albeit he did
much hard running at Merced he pulled
down his series of courses with much
ease yesterday.
One of the best exhibitions Of work
during the daY was made by Sarcastic in
his run with Lady Geraldine The course
was never other than his from the start,
but during its running be checked him
self and turned, while a. full speed, in q
space that might have been covered by q
pocket handkerchief. The running in de-
tail was as follows:
