MOTTO WAS THE RUNNER-UP
GRAND OLD FEAR NOT MAKES A
SPLENDID SLOWING.

Coursing enthusiasts are beginning to
believe that Billy McGiven, the popu-
lar handler of Bartels Bros. kennels,
uses a magic lotion to anoint his dogs
and bitches. Last Sunday Macs Melody
took the open stake without turning
hair, and yesterday Rest Assured, a
handsome brown bitch belonging to the
same kennel, captured the non-winners
stake in fine style.
Next to the victory of Rest Assured the
work of the grand old dog Fear Not was
the most interesting feature of the days
sport. The winner OF the John Grace cup
three years ago at Newark had some of
the hardest courses of the day, but by
pure grit and speedy work he landed
third money. In the opinion of many
Fear Not might have won the stake but
for an overheard course with Petronius,
and again, had not the jack in his
course with Rest Assured turned from
him, as the points scored by the rivals
before the kill were about even. The run
ming of Motto, F. a. McComb's bitch, was
remarkable. The Santa Clara candidate
had some gruelling courses, but SUCCEEDED
in going through the stake to .-4e mai
when he was put out by Rest Assured.
Thousands of lovers of courSing took
advantage of the delightful weather and
journeyed to the fayorite park to enjoy
crowded throughout the day. 'Shortend-
ers' were in their glory, landing often
and pocketing their winnings with satls-
fed smiles. The following dogs brought
them good fortune: Kerry Cow beat Mag
net at to 8; Black Bess beat Sunburst
at to 8: Fireball beat Maid Of Bail,
Beauty beat Star Pointer. to 5; Motto

The manner in which the Jacks ran
yesterday was largely due to their hand
ling by Harry Murry At. At tn this sim time last
up and kill, but yesterday the hares
gave the dogs plenty of exercise before
being dispatched.
Owing to the great card to be run off
on Washngton's birthday, on Wednesday
next, there will be no try-outs at lngleside
to-day 1t has been the usual custom of
the management of the park to allow
owners and trainers to exercise their sap
lings there, but the privilege will be with
held until next Monday.
Harry Growtage, an Eastern coursing
enthusiast, was the guest of Judge Grace,
and was greatly interested in the manner
in which the large card was run of. Fol-
