False FIatterer Loses
the Champion Stake.
SHoRTENDERS LAND OFTEN
PROMISE ME AND PEACEFUL
GLEN SHOW SPEED.
Great Running at Union and Ingle-
side Parks Witnessed by Many
Thousand Spectators-The
Detailed Results.

There were no sensations sprung on the
large crowd that attended Union Park
yesterday, but enough good sport was
presented to satisfy the most ardent fol-
lower of coursing. Short enders were in
clover during the running Of the large
card and broad smiles testified their
satisfaction in winning.
Culver proved a stumbling block in the
path of the talent. She repeated her
performance of Saturday by beating
Bendalong in the second round when odds
were given against her at to l. When
she was pitted again Montana in the
third round CULVER was again on the
short end with odds of to l against her.
The black bitch carried the hopes of the
short enders in this course and she up
held their cause by making no GO
with Montana.
When they were again slipped the odds
had narrowed down 10 TO /, with Culver
still on the short end. This time Mr..
Lopez possession went out and won
handily. In the fourth round Culver was
put out of the race for the stake by
Jennie Wilson. In the latter course she
was on the short end again and might
have beaten her more experienced rival
but for a bad fan. CULVER allowed Jen-
ME Wilson TO set the pace TO the hare,
but on the turn she got close to the prey
escapes she made a drive for the tricky
hare, who wrenched out of danger. This
sent Culver on her back and Jennie Will
son began scoring until the kill and
earned q flag. Up to her fall CULVER had
her rival beaten. QuiYer's performance
was q remarkable one and created quite
surprise. She possesses stamina and speed
and will surely be heard from in the fu-
Iure.
Douglas defeated Prince Hal at odds
of TO l. the highest offered during the
day. Very few short enderS got aboard,
as Prince Hal was looked on as d sure
winner. In the second run down OF the
Reserve stake Glenstone beat Snapshot at
to 3, Bonita beat Victor at to l and
Bendigo beat Morning Glory at the same
odds.
In the fourth round Promise Me and
Douglas We're slipped to the fastest
Jack ever turned loose at Union Park.
He led the dogs across the field full tilt
and gradually opened up streak of day
light between his purSueFS. Near the
escapes he turned and shot toward the
kennels with the dogs Straining every
nerve to get near him. He Wrenched
when close to the fence and returned TO
the slips. and when half way up the field
turned round as II inviting his relentless
chasers TO come on. When they neared
him he let out few more links and made
the dogs look like selling platerS. He
then ran into the escapes and chuckle1
over his victory, as did the spectators
in the grand stand. Promise Me led
throughout the race, although he had lit
tie chance TO score many points. The
hard course he had after the speedy hare
proved to his detriment in the next
round when Jennie Wilson easily downed
him.
The Reserve stake was CAPTURED by
Handy & Smiths Ida. She had Jennie
Wilson to contend against in the final,
and a merry race ii was. Another lively
jack was turned loose and for three min
utes the two fought for supremacy. Ida
did not disappOint her admirers and got
in on the hare near the finish and scored
enough to earn her the flag and the big
stake.
As was predicted, the Champion stake
proved close and exciting. In the first
broke even. The first course proved
surprise TO every one. False F1atterer,
the ultimate runner up, was pitted against
Rock Island Boy, an B-months old pup
py. False Flatterer barely led TO the hare
and the course was a close one. The lat
ter was given the flag. Judges OF form
propheSy great things from him, as he
possesses speed and staying qualities.
In the second round Wait a Little and
False Flatterer were led past the grand
stand by the hare. The latter led up,
but 10 the surprise of every one Wait a
Little made & drive and killed Had the
hare lasted little longer Wait a Little,
instead Of False Flatterer, would have
won.
Theron was beaten by Firm Friend in
the first run down. Theron showed vast
Improvement in this race and made good
exhibition.
Short-enders made a winning in the
final OF the Champion stake, when Firm
Friend beat False F'latterer, his old ken
mel mate, at odds Of to 8.
