Captures Another Stake
at Union Park.
"A VERY GOOD DAYS SPORT
ROCK ISLAND BOY TAKES THE
RICH PUPPY STAKES.
Some Great Hounds Are Expected to
Develop Among the Young
sters That Run in To-
days Courses.

The patrons of the Union Coursing Park
were treated yesterday to a grand day 8
sport, the work of the hounds being con-
spicuous by close and fast work of a very
exciting nature. The puppies also made a
grand showing In their stake and a num-
Der of them that ran yesterday will, with
careful training, develop into valuable
hounds.
The open stake was won by Right Bow
er, dog who captured a stake quite re-
Gently and is at present in fine form.
His victory, however, did not meet with
much approval, as he is considered by the
regular followers of form as somewhat of
a ''lurcher." Firm Friend was picked out
by the talent as the hound to do the trick,
but he was beaten by Right Bower in the
fifth round. Cavalier was runner up in
the stake and did some good work, even
up to the last course, and deserves watch
ing in the future.
In the puppy stake Rock Island BOY,
from the kennels of Russell & Wilson,
won the stake in a handy style. ST Ger
trude was runner up IN this stake and for
a while looked If she would capture
the stake. but Rock Island Boy being a
much heavier hound had more strength
and endurance and consequently won the
stake.
