tally, a poor slip lost several candi-
dates a good bit Of the money.
In eoursing, like every other field
sport, one often goes up against the
worst of a series of unfortunate cir
cumstances, but when in an important
course a COW dog is allowed by defec-
tive slipping to win over a dog Of cham
pion form, indications would point to
something exceedingly rank in Den
mark.
For several years Goodland has got
the "trow-down" and this year was no
exception although it was not the fault
Of the judge this time. It's doubtful
if any eoursing club can again secure a
bonus from Goodland to hold their
meeting here. The local coursing men
are sore and many others who had dogs
entered feel that the Altcar has been
run without the requisite amount of
honesty to commend it to square
sporting men.
The summary of the races are as
follows:

White Diamond and Rusty Gold, the last paiI
