Santa Ana Dies Suddenly in Her
Kennel After Finishing
a Course.

In the presence of nearly 1000 spectators,
the runner-up being Log Boy. The lat
ter, who won his preliminary courses in
credttable manner, although slightly
Favored in one or two instances by the
mare, was clearly outclassed in the final
course with the black dog, who was a
to l favorite. The fact that Connemara
was the stake favorite was one of the
Few examples of sound judgment exhib-
ited by the talent during the day, for the
short-enders got the flag with distressing
regularity in the preliminary rounds. 1ne
hrst course of the day proved to be
regular Waterloo for the favorites, no
less than twelve short-enders displaying
winning form, while in the succeeding
courses the average of wins by the rear
guard was pretty well maintained.
Commodore Nash was the first to upset
the calculations of the talent, defeating
Lawrence, to l favorite. For Glory,
at to 5, beat Victor; Las Palmas at 1
to 4, beat Rollicking Airs; Rosie Clair, at
to 5, beat Kid Mccoy; Flying Faster, at
to g. beat Lowlander after a mo CO.;
Soubrette beat Emin Pasha at 3 to 5;
Maori Land at to 5, beat Battleship;
Firm Friend, at to s, beat Petronius;
Miss Skyrocket, at l to 5, beat Golden
Russell; Lady Emma, to 5, beat Patria;
and Santiago beat Minerva, to 5, all in
the first round.
A stiff breeze swept over the field and
through the grand stand all day, much
to the discomfort of the spectators. The
hares did not take kindly to the wind,
ana the courses as rule were short,
but the sport was nevertheless exciting.
John Grace, judge at the Ingleside
Coursing Park, has entered into a con-
tract with the Union Coursing Associa-
ton whereby he is to act as judge at
Union Park, negotiations to that end,
which have been pending for some time
past, having been consummated The an
Of
noon. The exact date when Judge Grace
will assume his official duties is undeter-
mined for the present, but decision will
probably be arrived at some time this
week Judge Bulls contract with the
association does not expire until the 1st
of September, but he has expressed his
desire TO return to his home in England,
and it is possible that he may take advan-
tage of the present opportunity, in which
event Judge Grace will soon be seen on
the field, where he is sure to meet with a
warm welcome. James Grace has been
engaged as slipper.
Santa Ana, the promising young bitch
owned by r. E. deb. Lopez, died sudden
ly in her kennel a few minutes after be-
course with Log Boy. A rumor gained
circulation that she had been poisoned
but there seems TO be no ground for such
an assumption. Mr.. Lopez took Santiago
into the slips, and when he returned
Santa Ana was dead. She was about 19
months old, and was one of the four San
tas, all of whom are well and favorably
known by breeders and racers of the long
tails.
