THE HARES WERE VERY FAST

HAL IN A LONG RUN.

Standing room only was the order OF
the day at Ingleside Coursing Park yes
terday.
Everybody expected to witness great
coursing and everybody who saw the
sport left the grounds highly delighted
with the entertainment, as it was or the
very best quality. The hares did justice
to themselves. They were in prime con-
dition and they ran like demons. In fact'
better coursing could not be expected on
the famous plains of MERGED, where runs
of from one to four miles are not by any
means exceptional occurrences.
The dogs received such gruelers from the
first to the third rounds Of yesterday
meeting that, as will be seen by the re-
suits, two of the most promising canol-
dates had to be withdrawn in the second
round.
Judge Grace who is unquestionably en-
titled to the dictinction of the nonpareil
judge of American coursing, acknoWl-
edged that 1t mas been many days since
he had witnessed SO many long ana pun
fishing courses as were run yesterday at

The course between Old Glory and Vic

going to the escapes at the extreme ENDS
of the field were brought back to within a
few yards of the place of slipping, and
the spectators had a magnificent view or

The winner Of first money, Patria,, Is
one of the gamest dogs that ever shot
from a slip. She proved her good quail
titles at MERGED, when, after two most
Furnishing courses, in the finals she again
entered the slips with comparatively
fresh opponent and would have doubtless
won the course had she not killed too
soon. The results of the meeting of yes
