flares w ere Fast at the Ingleside Grounds
 Yesterday.
The Talent Game Out Ahead, With One or Two Start
 ling Exceptions.
It Is Thought There Will Be Heavy Betting on the Ties
 To-Day.

A large Saturday crowd visited the Ingleside coursing grounds yesterday to witness the run down in the stake of fered to various owners of good hounds. The sport throughout the day was ex- ceedingly good and without doubt the betting will be, heavy to-day on the final results. The hares were in splendid con- dition and many of them made their es- cape. Very few short-enders carried away the money Little Dell, in the last course and Sylvanus, in the first, rather bothered the talent.
 It is not a surprise that pr. Van Hummel's hounds are coming to the front, as they have been taken and placed in good hands. For a few weeks they did not show up as well as expected. but according to the ideas of many dog followers the doctor will have some stake winners before the season is over. Van Cloie is showing up re- markedly well, and as Chit Chat is going against the best of them it is no wonder that the knowing ones are waiting for a good thing in the way of Van HummeIs hounds. Wait until they are acclimated," he said, "and there will be some fun"
 The strongest play of the day was on Henry Springs Dawn, and the way the course ended it was 30 to 1 shot, al- though the best odds given did not eX- ceed 5 to l. Sweet Music did not ap- pear in the course with SilkWood, and in consequence Forget ran a bye with the entered hound and was beaten in an easy fashion. Kingston nearly proved a surprise to the talent, as no go was run with Mohawk, who is known to be exceedingly speedy, but in the second slip Mohawk gained all the points. The run down today will with out doubt prove interesting from all standpoints.
