Longshot Conley Was
lnVinCible.
MANY GRUELING EXHIBITIONS
THE TALENT GOES BROKE PLAY.
ING FAVoRITES.
Some Long and Exciting Runs That
Created Enthusiasm-The
Results at Both
Parks.

A majority of the talent" left Ingleside
Coursing Park yesterday with a numb
ness in their lower extremities. not
caused, however, by the chilly at
mosphere, for a coursing enthusiast seems
lmperVious to cold weather, but the re-
suit of not casting their fortunes with a
black and white dog, appropriately named
Long Shot Conley, and with few other
entries.
Seldom, if ever, have there been so many
surprises in one day. A little over a dozen
dogs and bitches whose names are usually
scratched early in the days running
forged to the front and landed flags.
Long courses are usual things at In
gleside. but it is seldom that as many as
hVe record breaking runs are witnessed.
w neither the Jacks We're more tricky or
were enlivened by the frosty air is hard
10 determine, but at any rate they led
their pursuers all around the field, much
to the satisfaction of the spectators.
In the third round of the open stakes
Cavalier and Lottie NJ inaugurated the
long courses. ne former won by a score
of % TO 10 in the sensational time OIL
minutes 10 seconds. O'Grady and Prince
Glory next sped after a lively hare Tor
nearly two minutes in the same round,
and in the next round Cavalier was treat
cd 10 another stiff course with Flyaway.
The prey led both dogs up and down the
grand stand four or five times, and bet
ters and spectators alike yelled them
selves hoarse. When the kill was made
tlyaway was given a decision by 20 TO s
in l minute so seconds.
Next to the course between Prince
George and Royal Buck, the exhibition
between the latter and Mira Monte was
the closest of the day, their score being
Sc in LBS. Despite the fact that ROYAL
Buck had been chasing lively Jacks
during the early stages, he showed no
fatigue, due probably to his splendid con-
dition. In the fifth round he and Prince
George had their hard tuSSle. For two
minutes and thirty seconds both dogs fol-
lowed in the wake of a swift hare, first
one leading and then the other. Judge
Grace was close up and he was kept busy
watching the points made by the rivals.
Had not Royal Buck killed too quickly
he would undoubtedly have gained a flag
in what was considered the best con-
tested course ever seen at the popular
park.
The splendid running and the I'M
heard-of luck of Long Shot Conley We're
the sensations of the day. At no time
in his life did his name seen more ap-
propriate. When taken to the slips in
every round he carried the hopes of the
short ends" and he upheld them. First
Kay q Trant's speedy Diana was put out
at ! to T. and in quick succession Flying
Buck at to ., Log Boy at to s. Prince
y George and then the runner-up T. But
ler's Susie at l to 2, succumbed. The list
of victories was complete and won many
dollars for those who followed his
tLdilCtS a great uedl OF discussion was
had by experts over the fine work of Long
Shot Conley. Some believed he played In
great luck, others claim that the hare
favored him, and many more asserted he
was in great condition. Whether or not
these representations were correct, Long
Shot captured the open stake and did 1t
handily.
Another feature of the davis card was
the splendid showing made by Murphy &
Toland's puppies. Pleasant Girl captured
the puppy stake for her owners and Twi-
light Jr., Ornament and Tea Rose gave
creditable exhibitions of speed and en-
durance.
