OFF ON A RACE
At UNION PARK

Drugged.

The shadow Of a scandal hangs over
one of the races run yesterday at Cnioh

ordered which may result in the ruling
off the field of D. Hooper and his grey

the betting When the pair of dogs left
the hands of Slipper Wren, KoolaWn, who
on public form should have led up and
won was seen to stagger and reel about
the field. She finally went in pursuit or
the hare, and in turning stumbled ana
fell. Four times in all she fell heavily
before finally killing. Judge Bull signaled
that the white flag, under which Silence
was running. had won.
In the meantime the officials of the
park. noting the condition of koolawn,
declared all bets off. This prompt action
proved highly popular with the specta-

with applause. The opinion was freely
expressed, however, by the cOursing men
that this action was illegal, as in all
sports bets go with the decision Of the
referee, in this instance Judge Bull. Many
of the bettorS destroyed their red tickets
upon seeing the white flag go up. Some
Of the red tickets presented for redemp-
ton were torn, in some instances only a
norton of the pasteboard being retained.

in a definite understanding of the rules as
to when and by whom bets may be de-
