The big event of the day, match race
between Mayfiower and Rock Island Boy,
was witnessed by hundreds of people at
Ingleside yesterday afternoon. The dog
proved himself too much for the bltch.
This became evident in the first heat OF
the stake, so the bettors played their
money accordingly. The odds on the first
heat were 1 to in Rock Islands FAVOR,
but for the two successive heats they
tapped off at 5 to 8.
Eleven hundred and fifty dollars is a
pile of money to be at stake. consequently
every advantage and clever play OF either
dog brought forth thunder of applause.
In .he first go Rock Island Boy LED up
by three lengths on the hare and served
himself for the next turn. The mare
swung to the bitch for the Kill. score,
to 2. in favor of Rock Island Boy. A lie"
more points were made in the second
course, which was sensational and exclt-
ing. Rock Island Boy led in the run-up,
the bitch laying off her game, and the dog
took the turn by three lengths, thus keep
ing possession of the hare for several
points and allowing the bitch only lVe Ior
her work. Score, IA to 5. The third round
was short and may be told in rev
words: Rock Island Boy led off by three
lengths, serving himself for several more.
The bitch killed, but it was all she &C
In the all-age stake three dogs, an
owned by the same man, came IN Tor
final competition. ordinarily the winner
of the last course would be declared VIM
ner of the stake, as there IS no way OIL
guarding the entries, but in justice 10 inc
betting public the rules of the mgleside
Club require the owner to run his dogs 10
a finish, and this finish yesterday ADDED
anoti er dog to the long list of short-end-
ers which had been coming In all day.
Royal Buck, Rocket and Flyaway. were
mixed up in it for the last. Rocket beat
Flyaway in the last course of the fourth
round and thus Royal Buck and rocket
stood against each other. The betting
was on Royal Buck and the odds were 2
and his game was up. The dog was so
badly hurt he had to be packed in off the
field.
