Dr. O. Van Humme and His Celebrated Coursing Wonder.

trick with Billy Gladstone without
turning a hair.
In the run off Sunbeam put Daisy
D to sleep and Mayf1ower had no trou-
BILE in disposing of Sunburst.
In the puppy stake Gladiator and
Log Boy turned out to be the winners.
The chief stake of the day was be-
tween the old dogs for the John Grace
challenge cup. Sixteen performers re-
manned in for the second round and
they were of high-class stock through
out.
The first course was between Patria
and Rusty Gold. The Eldorado crack
was the favorite, but Patria was too
speedy for him. Rusty Gold is not a
park dog.
Old Glory had to make two essays at
it, but sent White Lily to the kennels
in the end with no doubt obtaining
from the outset.
Tod Sloan and Tessie Fair were a
close call, as sized up by the talent,
but Tessie is no match for her brother
as they ran yesterday. The dog was
speedy and clever at every point
Susie romped away from the Eastern
candidate, Mountain Beauty, and
Swinnerton repeated the trick with the
other Eastern hound, Moore's Pre-
scription. The two Dean flyers, Come
mara and Mialmo, had not the Slight
est difficulty in disposing of the East
ern dog Chit Chat and ST. Lawrence in
their respective order, albeit st. Law
renee sold a favorite over Mialmo at
to /.
In the next round Patria beat Old
Glory with little effort. Patria was a
bit heavy Tuesday, but her first course
ran off the extra weight. Crow Dog
then lifted flag over Tod Sloan, but
it took a second trial for him to show
superiority. Susie also needed a second
start to beat Connemara, but she did the
work even though Connemara sold IA
vorite at to 2. Mialmo beat Swimmer
ton as easily as a carpet may be
beaten.
Crow Dog in short course. Crow Dog
was too slow for Thompsons Kansas
importation. Susie and Mialmo ran
their first trial undecided. Both were
in the pink of condition. Mialmo led
up and turned, but Susie dashed in and
killed In their second trial Mialmo
won after a good run that had in the
lead an excellent hare.
The final runs of all three stakes
were then put over till Sunday owing
to approaching darkness.
AS a whole the sport throughout the
day was good, but in not few of the
courses the weakness of the hares
shortened the runs and possibly altered
what might otherwise have been the
results.
