clude as good animals as have been
more fortunate. and the coursing was of
the very highest order. The day was
indeed a fine one. and the attendance
was as large as II has been since the
season opened, and included a large
percentage of ladies. The Jacks were

run to earth taxed the running quail
ties of the dogs to their utmost. The
contests were all, or nearly all. very
close. and some of them intensely ex-
citing. Flying Dutchman succeeded in
carrying of the first money. Black
Daisy. the crack little bitch from Ana
conda, got into the honey for second
place. Royal Flush got third money
and Silver Dick fourth. Anaconda was
represented by three dogs. all Of which
gave a good account of themselves. The
match race between Billy Walker and
Barrister. which was expected to he a
sensational event. turned out to be very
fiat. Billy Walker winning with the
utmos ease.
Perhaps the best and most exciting
course pf the day was that between

another Jack had to be called. This time
Mischief turned a somersault from
jumping into a hole, and gave the
course 10 Daisy. In the first ties Daisy
was drawn against another Anaconda
dog, j. NJ. Goddard's Silver. and they
put up a splendid course, but Daisy
was too much for silver.
In the semi-finals she put up another
great course with Silver Dick, and won.
and then turned around and run down

their escape from the other dogs. Many
thought this was all that prevented her
from winning the stake, as she was
only beaten by a narrow margin by
frying Dutchman in the finals. There
