COURSINC ON
FOCCY FIELDS
Dogs Ran Out of View
of the Spectators.
THE HARES FAST AND STRONG
FAvoRITEs REIGN SUPREME AT
BOTH PARKS.
Large Crowds and Lively Betting at
Union and Ingleside Grounds.
Strong Cards for To-
Days Running.

An attractive card drew large number
of coursing lovers to Union Park and de-
spite the cold wind they remained inter-
ested spectators until the last rundown
was decided. The last five races were
partially hidden from those in the grand
stand, but the interest was so keen that
the Judges flag was eagerly scanned to
discover whether the favorite or short
ender was victor.
A strong lot of hares were turned loose
during the day, frequently leading
the dogs a merry chase to the slips and
oftentimes making their escape.
Two stakes were run off, giving every
one present an excellent chance to wager.
The open stake was run off very quickly.
Master Mat. the puppy descendant of
Skyball and Valley Queen, made her ini-
tial appearance and created an excellent
impression by his splendid showing
against the great Eastern dog, Minneap-
oils. Although defeated by the latter
Master Mat proved that good : blood
coursed through him. The only notable
performance of the day was the defeat
of Terrona by Millers Maid The course
was long and exciting and the Maid bare
ly won out. Terrona being a 319 to ia
vorite, the shortenders were made happy
Vanity Fair ran a great race, although
opposed to an inferior dog. She will
probably make good showing to-day.
The dogs beaten in the open stake COM
peted in a consolation round, which will
be concluded to-day.
1t looks as If False Flatterer had a
strong hold on the open stake, but Min
neapolis and Vanity Fair will surely give
him close finish.
Sylvanus, Douglas, Chile Pepper, Mime
apolis, Lady Blanche, Lissak, Glenstone,
Royal Buck, Right Bower and Mira Mon
tie should win in the second round.
Wayfarer Is being playeQ by the talent
as the winner of the consolation, but
some Of the knowing ones are quietly ac-
cepting Grasshopper as their choice. The
talent will find II difficult to pick winners
In the Veteran stake, which will. run to-
day. Master Glenkirk and Skyrocket are
fancied, but owing to the uncertain form
Of the dogs very little can be said as to
who will be the winner.
