ORNAMENT IS
A WONDER AT
UNION PARK
WINS at 20 to as the Climax
Of a Days Sensational
Coursing.

The opening days sport Of the "Centen-
niaI," or one hundreth days meeting at
| Union Coursing Park, bordered on the
| sensational from first to last. The hares
proved unusually strong, repeatedly TAX
! ing the dogs around the field and then
making good their escape The going was
so fast that Judge Grace rode three
horses to a standstill, where one usually
sufflces
The first four hares released ran for
nearly one minute each. Many hares out
! footed the dogs and on other occasions q
| third dog was released.
| Murphy & Tolands Ornament furnished
the great surprise OF the day. In the last
course he met Hawker, which was In
stalled favorite at once. The booksellers,
in their efforts to promote wagering
! gradually heightened the odds, until they
were offering $40 to 81 on Hawker. Three
| tickets were written at these odds. HAT-
ker led by several lengths and secured
! the first turn Ornament was then placed
and finally won a long drawn out course
! by a score Of II points to 6. Hawker was
practically held out of the long odds book
as being the ultimate winner. In the rum
down Ornament met Rapid Addition, and
after travelling all over the field their
| course resulted in an undecided each
scoring II points. They were allowed a
rest until after luncheon, when ornament
! won scoring II to 4.

by defeating Aeneas by score OF 80 TO ..

The Centennial stake, TO be run to-day,
