DIED FROM
 EXHAUSTION The Dempsey Lass Suc- cum bed at 1ngleside
 Yesterday. A Hard and Exciting Course With Miss Dividend Was
 the Cause. -J
A Large Crowd Again Witnessed Curtis & Sons Rosette Win
 the Money.

The threatening rain prevented as large a crowd as usual from gathering at the Ingleside Coursing park yester- day, but the races were sensational, and the talent came out on top. What seemed to take the pleasure away from those present was the unlocked for death of the fleet hound Dempsey Lass owned and run by J. Murphy. In the run down Dempsey Lass was drawn to go with J. Murnanes Miss Dividend, and the latter hound proved to have mettle. The course was prob ably the longest and most interesting ever seen on a field. A good hare was slipped, and the hounds started to- gether and it was hard to tell which dog led to the hare. Away they went across the entire field and back again, then back to the far corner and point after point was counted up by the judge. Interest was at a high pitch, and when it was announced that Dempsey Lass had won by score of 46 to p, the old followers of the course smiled with satisfaction at a course which had numbered the largest num- Der of points yet decided on a local field.
 When Dempsey Lass was taken to the kennel 1t was decided that the hound would be withdrawn from the course, but it was not expected that anything more serious than a severe trial had affected the well-bred dog, but within two hours she was dead, and crowd gathered to learn the req son therefor. St. Gertrude was after ward drawn to go against Signal, who won the second run down, but was de- feated.
 The coursing talent Is about to lose one of the finest accordino to rumor. Harry Brennan, a local sport and we'll liked by all dog men, has been offered a good position In Dawson City. It has been asked of him whether or not he would represent syndicate of business men in the northern country He has not as yet accepted the offer because of business interests in this city concerning both himself and fam ily but it is supposed he will look into the matter before refusing what is thought to be an exceptionally good one.
 The talent walked off with the money yesterday, as only one or two short enders won tEe money, among them being Moondyne. who sold on the short end or to against Cavalier. the final, but the favorite, Rosette, won after a long and exciting course.
 A delegation from the Olympic Club watched the sport during the after noon. Jack Gallagher, Billy Brennan, John Elliott and Hugo Belou, the Olympic wonder, were in bunch play ing the results. Mcconnell, who de- feated Griffo before the club but few nights ago was also among those inter- ested.
