"FOR FREEDOM"
 IS INTANGIBLE The English Dog Lands
 Another Stake. FALSE FLATTERER D0WNED SKYBALL TRAVELS A LONG AND
 FATIGUING COURSE.
Union Park Furnishes Some Rare Sport-Ingleside Crowded With Followers of the Pastime.
 The Record.

For Freedom, the speedy importation from England, still upholds the reputa- tion he has earned since his advent to this coast. Yesterday at Union Park he went past his rivals as If they were stand ing still and won the open stake in his usual style. Whenever J. H. Rossiter, the fortunate possessor of the great dog, en- ters him for a stake it seems a foregons conclusion that he will carry 1t off, and the talent is chary about laying their shekels on any other candidate At times the shortenders are fascinated by the odds of 20 to l. as was offered yesterday, and bet in the hope of seeing the invincible dog meet his Waterloo. It Is vain hope. however, as For Freedom once looseneo from the slips, bounds after the prey with lightning speed, leaving his rival far in the rear. This was the rule yesterday. Such speedy performers as Mira Monte and Minneapolis were made to look like has beens. Although the Eastern produc- tion made a fair showing against the wonder in the final after the first turn, For Freedoms speed asserted itself and he earned the flag. His owner was offered 5000 for him by MT. Edmondson, a lover of the sport, but Mir. Rossiter refused the tempting offer, saying that the dog was not for sale.
 Nothing of a sensational nature was sprung yesterday. The talent took a few
 
 themselves on the winnings of the favor ties. The Gossoon, Blackton, Camilla ana Terrona contributed to the joy. of the shortenders by landing flags. The Cos soon defeated the 212 to l tayorite Doug las; Backton won iron Lady Blanche at 8 to 1, and Camilla keeled over the slight favorite, Tea Rose. The defeat of False Flatterer by Terrona, at to l, was the saddest blow of all. The talent was so confident that the former would win that they banked heavily on her, and much disappointment was displayed when Terrona was declared the winner.
 Hot Stuff's second days appearance was signalized by his defeating Glenstone anc Terrona. Vanity Fair and the former ran no course, after which the latest as- pirant for honors was defeated in a close course.
 Old Skyball displayed grit and staying powers by landing a tricky hare after a course similar to that which laid Black ette out a few weeks ago.
 A great many hard losers railed al Judge Bull for not deciding in favor ot their choice, Rosette. in her course with of non-bettors, was a fair one, as Firn, Friend did the most work at the finish The course was a good one and was keen- ly watched.
 Firm Friends hard courses in the byes played havoc with him. and when he ap- peared against Minneapolis proved an easy rival
