E. V. Sullivan, q well-known coursing
devotee enjoyed the honor of dividing
two large stakes at Union Park yester-
day. His entries in the open and conso-
lation stakes were in splendid form and
for the first time in months showed their
old-time speed and endurance. False
Flatterer and Royal Buck went down the
line defeating well-known dogs with ease
and divided the open stake between them.
Electric and Bed of Stone of the same
kennel landed the veteran stake and also
divided the money.
Had Sullivan's Blackstone defeated
Jester he would have finished the stake
in the fourth round with his four dogs.
Blackstone had a lead on Jester up to
the first turn. but his paw caught in a
hole and he was thrown out of his gait
Jester then took the lead and worked the
hare for many points while Blackstone,
try as he would, could not get near the
prey.
A better day for coursing and a finer
lot of hares could not have been chosen.
The warm sunshine brought many hum
dreds to the park and betting was brisk.
The hares and hounds were also inVig-
Grated by the beautiful weather and ran
with dash and vigor
The talent had things all their own
way during the afternoons running, sut-
Jerl0G very rev upSeIS. fIOydl DUCK COIl-
tributed one by defeating Minneapolis at
odds Of to l. Lady Blanche beat Right
Bower al 2 to l and Jester gained flag
over Mira Monte at the same odds.
In the consolation stake the most dis
astrous upset to the talent occurred when
Terrona succumbed to Sweet Lips at odds
of to l. Mystery created small sur
prise by beating Precita. In the course
between Terrona and Sweet Lips the
former showed a great burst of speed to
the hare, but the prey turned back to
Sweet Lips. who quickly erased the ad-
vantage gained and killed, winning
somewhat fiuky course.
