l Although the weather indications are not favorable for outdoor pastimes, stlii i, it can be taken for granted that an enor-
 nous crowd will be present this after noon to witness the rundown or the | largest stake that has ever been run at l Union Coursing Park.
 The features at Ingleside to-day will be | an open event for the flyers, sapling contest and consolation stake for the i cracks unfortunate enough to go down In
 their initial trials of the, former. Al | Union Park the interest will center in an | open. puppy and a sapling stake. In 1 the number of contestants Union Park
 greatly exceeds. At Ingleside there must still be drawn the consolation but the quality of the long-tails is unprecedented The sport will commence at the usual
 hour at both resorts and continue through Sunday and Monday.
 | The chief stake at Ingleside this week 1 looks to have many chances. The Dean
 dogs were not at their best last week.
 Lowe & Thompson's kennels are in much the same condition.
 At Union Park the Sullivan or Rosseter
 dogs seem to have good chance of win ming the big event. It's about Curtis
 turn, however, and Log Boy may push to the front.
 The puppy and sapling stakes at both
 parks are liable to land "any old place" Three days Is a long period of straight
 work for youngsters
 ! Death has again visited heavy hand on the leashmen during the week and l this time 1t was William Murphy who an- swered to the call. The deceased was one i or the oldest ana most respected leash en | on the coast, and the report of hls demise | brought sudden dropping of the eyeidS l and hush of stiffness on many thou | sands.
 l St. Patrick should make a hot bid for l laurels ana coin among the saplings at | 1ngleside to-day.
 Dave Hooper is. beginning to cut con l siderab ble hay on the sward. With Koolawn l he won $500 at 1ngleSide on Mayday, and
 with the same annexed the stake at Union | Park again last week. He purchased ! dol lTr1 Tll dn md of Incl a
 side last Sunday pulled down second | money. l'rior to winning the big Shea
 stake, too. Koolawn had annexed a sec | ond and divers lesser moneys
 Leashmen should not forget that the
 moneys taken In at Union Coursing Park
 on Monday next will be handed over to
 Red Cross Society, and as the cause Is good and noble it is to be hoped that the l lovers of coursing will turn out en masse on that day.
