A PRETTY RUNNING KILL

At last nice weather on a coursing
day and good crowd was present at
West Side park to enjoy the sport,
which was fine. The first Two hares
insisted on breaking back and twisted
and squirmed around the stand. Then
the old boys began to come along, who
struck up the field as a good hare
should. Galloping courses We're the rule,
though every once in awhile a new hare
gave a course across in front of the
stand.
Tornado gaIloped Gypsy NJ. to pieces.
Gypsy is not quite the bitch she was.
They bet even money on Fitz-Regina
against Billy Walker. Fitz led up and
had distinctly the best of the early
points, partly by the hare turning in
his favor. but mainly by his fiery,
slashing work. Billy could not get in,
+ try as he would, and when he did put
himself out by a brilliant kill. Smut
and Bessie had a tWister. Bessie is
queen and took her time at first, then
woke up and made a great struggle,
but Smut had too many of the early
points Barrister led Ruby in a long
lun-up to a flying hare, which escaped,
then the old black ran three or four
loose haTeS to the escape before they
caught him up. The old dog looks a
prince. and has all his old-time speed,
since Harry Grambling took twelve
pounds off him. Sapphire had too
much foot for Keno all the way. Swift
led Lobelia in a wild run right away
from the hare. He then caught sight
OF stray one and had frightfuE
gruelling before he was caught up. Al
ter the next two courses they were sent
out again, and LObelia had it all her
own way. Lady Euclid and Mike DaVey
had a twister, and had a ding-dong all
the way around the stand in the latter
part, when Mike, as they say, looked
on a little" He was very tired, though,
not being trained. Lady Regina ana
Yantara We're slipped unsighted, but
the lady went up to the fleld I'll she
found a stray, which she hammered up
and down in her old-time style. After
the next two they were sent out again.
Yantara got the best of the step ana
held his lead for the first, when he fell
and let the lady in for all that followed
till the kill Lord Nelson led Bluebird
the first trial for first turn, and she
made pretty running XIII.
The judges hat came off for an un-
decided score, %. In the run off Mel
son led and made a wild drive at the
hare, which let Bluebird in. But he
kept passing her for the next, making
wild drive after drive, and won well.
Miss Marietta and Ida May had very
hard working course, which the former
won Flashlight sauntered up six or
eight lengths ahead of Daft, turned
and killed in his usual impressive style.
Old Silver Bow showed that there is
a race in him yet. Mil Creek beat
Orange Blossom in a twisting course
back toward the slipping corral. Fred
Nichols brought out another novice in
the same litter as King Cashier, Anna
and the rest of them, in Lear King,
who ran green but fast, and beat Gilt
Edge, also a green one. Timothy and
Illawarra being absent, Bob Fitz and
Ring each had a bye, which they ran
together, Bob winning easily. Great
young Rusty surprised the wise dlVls-
ion by beating Pet on the short end.
This is a remarkable pup, The hare
was a flyer. Pet got the best of the
break and led for 200 yards, when
Rusty simply galloped her head off
and never let her in again. The hare
escaped. Then came a great brace,
Lady Hearst and Lady Fullerton. The
first trial Fullerton carried off the slips,
but made no bad effort even with that
handicap. After the last brace they
were sent out again. The hare broke
across the field, but Lady Hearst hung
in the slips, giving Fullerton four or
five lengths advantage, which she held
for first turn. When they got together
Lady Hearst, by magnificent kill,
won a great course. Montana Eclipse
beat PleasantOn easily after a fair
course, the latter quitting badly toward
the end. The braces for Tuesday are
as follows: Tornado with Fitz-Regina,
