 Very Polite. RAN AGAINST A LADY ALLOWED MISS GAY TO SCORE JUST ONE TURN AND A KILL. The Winners at Union and Ingleside
RAN AGAINST A LADY
The Winners at Union and Ingleside Parks Will Meet To-Day, and Great Sport Is
 Assured.

Nothing very sensational occurred yes terday at the big meeting which com menced yesterday at Union Coursing Park and will continue until Monday.
 The talent retrieved the losses it sus- tained last Sunday, as the favorites, with few exceptions, won the colors.
 Many strange faces were seen in the grand stand, attracted, no doubt, by the announcement that For Freedom, the great imported dog, would again appear on the coursing sward
 The lengthy strider put in an appear ance for the twenty-third course, and his mate in the slips was Lady Gay, quite tolerably fast hound, but, of course, in no wise to be compared with the dog of large bone and symmetrical appearance. Fifty to l was offered on the invader, but al- though tempting odds, only one sports man had the pluck to back Lady Gay, and he received holiday smile from the crowd, who, in chorus, sang, One More Dollar Flung to the Winds-One More Dollar to Burn.'
 The booksellers, seeing that betting was out of the question, hit upon scheme by which they managed to reap fairly good harvest of golden eagles. They asked ii there were any sports who de- sired to take a chance on Lady Gay SCOT ing a point in the course, and on this proposition several dollars were wagered that the Lady would score and vice versa. Even money was OHefeQ ana dcCepleu and those who backed the Lady cashed their tickets, as she got in for turn and the kill.
 For Freedom ran a good race, but he did not appear to be running with the same dash that has characterized some of his past races. It is thought that Firm Friend or False Flatterer may give the champion a grueler to-day.
 It was in the seventh course when the first surprise to the knowing ones arrived. Mira Monte, a small shortender, sent 1.ord Byron to his kennel <without a flag. Ben digo disposed of St. Carlo after mo- course Camila polished off Beauty in nice order, and Lightning won a good poor old Waratah a bad beating, and, as a matter of fact, his owner, k. Scott, opened wine. Since the doctor has been engaged in scratching up grass and sand courses, and he may be in the money yet.
