There was a large crowd at Ingleside
Coursing Park yesterday. considering the
condition of the weather. The dogs
splashed through the large pools Of water
and the coursing, in the main, surprised
everybody. The little hares darted over
the ground, and, in most of the courses,
gave the dogs all the exercise they de-
sired. They seldom reached the slips,
however, but succeeded in keeping on the
ground for over minute, in many in
stances, before the heavy ground began
to tell upon them.
The pool men say that betting was up
to snuff and dollars In large quantities
were risked on the favorites, particularly
at the first stage Of the game. When the
tide of affairs turned after the course be-
tween Las Palmas and Rusty Gold, the
sacks of coin were laid down on the short
enders.
The day was an inning for the short
enders and some pretty good money was
picked up. Some of the leading favorites
at the park went down, probably owing
to the torrents of rain which were falling.
Among them were Moondyne II, Gladia-
tor and Hotstuff. The most money was
pulled down on Leonora. who was five
to-one short end against Moondyne II.
No pools were sold lon the course be-
tween Vigilant and Billy Gladstone, as it
blind in one eye. One of the longest
tussles occurred between Pet Kirby and
Miss Alice. The score was IL to in ia
vor Of Pet Kirby. The pretty work was
grand stand, and, as there was a sack of
money at stake, the clever tricks per-
formed by each bitch brought forth en-
thusiastic applause from their respective
hackers.
Eight dogs were billed for the sapling
stake and six for the puppy stake. 1t
was the intention of the managers Of the
park to run off each of these stakes yes
terday, but they were continued until to-
day, when they will be finished before the
open stake will commence. Prospects
pairs of dogs which are on the card as a
result of yesterdays run down will keep
the betting fraternity guessing. The
ground will probably be in good condition
and the hares are fleet as arrows. The
following were yesterdays results:
Sapling stake-St. Ellen beat Rock Island
King; Lexington beat Bell of Anderson; War
rior beat Tiger Lily and Miss Richmond beat
