THREE PARKS
ATTRACT THE
LEASHMEN
San Mateo Coursing Associa-
ton Enters the Field-In-
gIeSide and Union Park.

The gates of the San Mateo CoursinG
Park Association were thrown open yes
terday to the public for the first time.
The attendance, made up almost entirely
Of cOurSing enthusiasts, was good and the
sport exciting. The downpour Of rain on
the previous day left portions Of the
field heavy, thus eQualizing the chances
of the dogs. Those with great speed were
apparently handicapped, for where they
should have led to the hare by ten
lengths they were fortunate If they could
place two lengths of daylight between
themselves and their opponents.
The size OF the field IS deceptive. While
st appears small and cramped, the num-
Der Of unusually long courses indicates
plenty of room with dogs and hares in
their present condition. The hares are not
familiar with the escapes and ran a num-
Der of the dogs nearly 10 death. Out or
the first eight courses five consumed the
following amount OF time: 3 minutes, 4;l0,
S;l5, 5:lO and 2.4O respectively. St Michael
beat For Persecution, both dogs beng run
10 an absolute sJandstiN. Cash beat J. Z.
Thrlfts great Cos Brutus, the latter
finally stopping. Whitehead beat Young
America, the latter suffering from an af
fecUOn Of The throat, which prevented him
from running up to form. Wild Tralee
and Beacon each had a bye" and were
run together Wild Tra1ee was beaten,
but II being a bye course Is still IN the
stake.
The sport went smoothly when it is
considered that all the field officials as
sumed their duties without having had
recent practice at the game, The Slip
ping OF Arthur Massey was excellent. Z.
J. jerome acted as judge, ana in only one
course was his decision questioned oy the
spectators. This was the course between
Hawker and Royal Flush. HaWker led up
by four lengths, and, it is claimed, out
worked Royal Flush during the greater
part Of the course, which lasted two min
utes and fifteen seconds. The decision
went 10 Flush. Prince Hal ran bye"
-4gr-.
wore the wrong colored collar. The judge
intended 10 signal Prince Halls victory,
put the flag Went up for the other dog.
BettorS asked Tor an explanation and the
error was corrected before any harm was
done.
The fog rolled in during the afternoon
and Obscured some Of the sport, the dogs
getting out of sight quickly. The run
down yesterday left the best dogs in
training at the present time still in the
stake. These Will fight for the purses to-
day. In addition sixteen of the dogs
beaten in the first round viii compete in !
