flares Were a Disap- pointment at the Union
 Course.
Heavy Betting and Many Short End Winners Marked
 the Day.
There Is Still Some Dissatisfaction at the Work of Slipper
 Taylor.

Over 200O people gathered at the Union Coursing Park yesterday to wit ness as clever sport in the coursing line as has been placed before the pub lie for many days. The hounds were in splendid condition, but the hares seemed to be slow and rather out of condition, but this little drawback was overcome by the enthusiasm of the crowd and the amount of money that poured into the pool boxes during the entire day.
 The talent was a sorry lot from morning until night, as short enders had the day by themselves. In the sec -ond course Lissak outran Arapahoe at good odds and Van Cloie, owned by c. Van Hummel, followed with clever win at odds which were not warranted according to the condition of the hounds. The feature of the day, how ever. was the special purse of $10O, which had been hung up by the asso- citation for two out of three course slipped for Master Jack and O'Grady. The hounds had created slight dis sension at the last Sundays meeting and it was decided to give the owners of the hounds a chance to see what the runners were worth. In the first go O'Grady sold favorite, but was easily beaten. When they started again Mas ter Jack was beaten at even money, but in the final Master Jack walked off with the money and was heartily cheered as he came from the field. This win overrules the decision given by Judge Bull at the last meeting Of the two clever youngsters.
 There is still much talk concerning the work done by Slipper Taylor, and the majority of the people agree that the work is not satisfactory, but at the same time they admit that it is not altogether the fault of the slipper, but is partially due to the slips, which are reported to be not up to date, as the hound on the white seems to walk oil with the best of it.
 There was but one kick against the imported judge, E. J. Bull, but that one was loud and long. In the third ties of the open stake LisSak and Nelly E left the slips, and after a hard fought course the fleet-foOted hound entered by A. Johnson was given the decision It was at this point, and this one only that the complaints We're made, but many were on the field who were will ing to place all kinds of money up that the decision had been just one, and there the matter stood when the day was declared oVer-
 The short end players went home tubilant. as the game little Susie beat the wonder ROSette in the final. It Is rather a matter of wonder how Susle' who almost invariably is the runner, should be placed on the short end, but such is the fact, and many times the money travels in her direction.
