THE CALLS TIPS WON
HEAVY BETTING ON THE RE
 SUITS AT UNION PARK.

A large Saturday crowd of sport lovers attended the coursing meeting at Union Coursing Park yesterday, and betting was particularly lively because of the fortunate way the drawing resulted, bringing the good dogs together in the slips and leaving the poor ones to fight the battles among themselves.
 The puppy stake was first on the list, and owing to its length it was rather late in the afternoon when the open stake was introduced, but some excellent sport re- suited In the open or all-aged stake The Call tipped twenty winners out of twenty four courses, and had it not been for the poor condition of two fayortes which fell before inferior stock almost a clean scoop would have resulted, that is, so far as the tipping is concerned
 Arno defeated Sweet Music, a popular favorite, after an undecided course and a well-contested race. This was the first upset to the knowing ones.
 Obadiah beat Borders Valentine in a long course by a small margin; the win ner was about done, however, when ths
 Chartist beat Mystery in a very close race, although the betting was to in Chartists favor.
 Hadiwist, dog that is played by sev- eral sports to win the stake did not run as well as the experts of form expected In fact, he was closely pressed by Chill Pepper in course in which the hare re- sorted to trickery in the hope of escap- ing its pursuers. The race was short and exciting, owing to the many turns ana Wrenches that were made. Ii Flying Buck shows up in good condition to-day he may send Haigh's dog to his kennel in the first course

 AS The Call predicted, there were some surprises yesterday during the rundown Of the puppy stake, but out of the twenty courses The. Call tipped fifteen winners. which is display of tolerably good iudg- ment, considering the unreliable running of puppies. Belle of Seville defeated was Call selection. Then Golden Rus sett another Cali tip, sent the favorite Brandy and Soda, to his kennel after a good drubbing. Minerva, tipped to win against Brutus, met with signal defeat Brutus was l to 10 shot, and to the sur prise of first class judges he led from the slips, scored first turn and held a good lead until the hare was picked up in a drive by Minerva The loser appeared in the slips in poor condition, and did not, by any means, run up to her accustomed form.
 The next upset came when the speedy bitch Lalla Rookh, the property of John kerrigan, was upset by Macs Melody. The owner stated that Lalla Rookh had taken sick on Friday evening, but had seemingly feeling well when she was handed over to the slipper. She certainly ran out of form, allowing Macs Melody to put several lengths between her and the hare in the run-up to game. She sold a to 2 favorite.
 Sunburst ran short but fast race, pick ing up his game on straight run and leaving Yosemite wondering whether the hare had suddenly taken wings.
 The winners of the first round of the ldan. Wait a Little, Rest Assured St. Gertrude, Billy Gladstone, Fly Away, Macs Melody, Magnetic and Morning Glory.
