DAY OF UPSETS AND TUMBLES
CONNEMARA MET PRONOUNCED
DEFEAT WITH LUXOR.

Forget created a sensation at Union
Coursng Park yesterday. The clever
hound worked its way through the final
and took the stake, while only few of
the venturesome had money on it in the
long odds" end of the betting, where
pools sold yesterday at something like
to 25 Connemara, Luxor, Lowlander,
Macs Melody and plenty of other stake
winners were on the card but 1t seemed
a day for surprises and upsets and they
all went down at one stage or another
of the game.
The second round of the open stake
contained ten short-enders and the talent
tumbled down fearfully. In the fifth
round Connemara which was predicted as
the stake winner, fell down before Luxor
and in the next course Luxor met de-
feat in a chase with Maori Land. The
fraternity went wild. as Connemara was
a to l favorite, and Luxor, in the fol-
lowing run, was a to l fayorite. For
get. who had put out Quick Stitch in the
fifth round and slipped along with bye
in the sixth. went to slips in the final
with Maori Land and captured the first
money
Some of the chases were extremely SEN
sational and afforded much amusement
to the spectators. Grenada and Belle
Claire followed the rabbit, for over three
minutes. and when the latter came to
meet Maori Land she had to be with
drawn. o X Capitol and Crawford had
had another long course, ana - Il, VINO
proved to be stayer, got the flag. The
fence recently erected at the south end
of the field tends to drive the dogs and
their game toward the center of the en-
closure and excellent grandstand work
frequently occurred. The course between
Forget and Sportsman was short. Con-
nemara showed up well during the game.
Speed was shown by many of the dogs,
and altogether the days sport was rated
above the average
Luxor led Connemara and stood his
a Deans
on the hare and made a bold attempt to
kill, but only placed the other dog. Maori
Land won over Luxor by a fiuke.
