The recent rains have put the Ingleside | Coursing Park In f1rst-class condition for ideal coursng, and the runs of yes terday demonstrated this fact on several occasions. The Ingleside Club entertained it's patrons yesterday with an open stake that will be finished to-day. from the present outlook it certainly should go to Rock Island Boy on his performance ol yesterday, the great puppy defeating L. S. Conley with ease at the score of A to D.

Conley. who is ccnsid- cred somewhat of a dog himself when he gets down to work and gives Iurch- ing a wide berth.

 Bean Pup was played all over the ring by the short-enders as a good thing, the dog at one time being as good as Zf2 10 l but he was never heard from ana was defeated handily by Bonita.
