IT WAS OELORAOO'S DAY
Good Sport at the West Side
Coursing Park.
THE BETTING WAS LIGHT
BELGRADE Secured His Fourth Victory
Out OF the Six Stakes in Which
He Has Started-Barrister
a Top Notcher.

1t was Delorado's day again at the
West Side Coursing park yesterday. ana
by winning the stake he secured his
fourth victory out of six stakes he has
started in this season. in all of which ne
has been inside the money.
The hares ran well. the dogs were n
good condition and the sport on the
whole was good. but the day was
not as much of a success as has been
the rule this season. owing largely. no
doubt. to the numerous outing excursions.
which doubtless kept away mucn If the
usual crowd and as a consequence the
betting was light and less interest than
usual was manifested. although there
were a few courses i'm which the excite
ment could not have been better had the
crowd been up to the standard. The dog
BELGRADE. by winning the stake. Of course,
carried of the greatest share Of the glory,
hut there were others that gave excellent
performances. Silver Bow. the hero OF
last years coursing, showed very much
improved form. and gave BELGRADE plenty
TO do, but he is not yet back to the form
that characterize his spectacular work
of last season. BarTister was also in fine
form and proved himself a ~top-notcher by
giving BELGRADE his hardest course. Lea
dress showed up well. as did Little
Thought, who proved she is worthy OF be-
ing well thought of by her course with
Spokane. and Daisy Bell repeated her rec
ord for consistency but was somewhat
outclassed by BELGRADE.
The course which excited the greatest
interest of the day was that between Del
orado and Barrister in the semi-finals.
Both are crack dogs and each had many
admirers. BELGRADE was selected by the
talent to win and betting ran s. To $3.50 i'm
his favor. The course was very exciting.
The dogs got away together and ran
abreast for so yards. when BELGRADE drew
away and led to the hare by n length
and a half. He made the first two turns
when Barrister got in for a wrench. and
it began to look all up with BELGRADE. but
ne came to the front again and made the
last turn and killed.
The curse between Silver Bow and
Jeadress I'm the stmi-nnals was the next
most exciting event, being SO close IL be-
longed to neither till the last point was
made. Leadress led to the hare by a
length and turned. when Silver Bow. COM
ing will a rush. took the running and
maintained his position till he killed.
Some thought the course should belong to
Ieadress. but the white giant was given
the decision. Silver Bows course with
Sailor in the first round was also close
and exciting, so close, i'm fact, that IL

even when the first rabbit was killed. "A
second hare was called. when Silver Bows

easily. The courses between Gypsy NJ.
