The crowd at Ingleside Courstng Park
was SO large yesterday that the officers
of the Ingleside Coursing Club held spe-
cial meeting, the object of which was to
exclude women and boys from that part
of the grand stand which is known as the
betting ring. The women who never miss
a coursing meeting felt chagrined when
they were informed of the new departure
debarring them from an opportunity
of resting their tired anatomies against
the sides of the pool boxes, but the new
ones" who have had only a limited eX-
perience in the game, accepted the order
to vacate the premises with good grace
and wended their way slowly to the up
per deck, where a magnificent view of
the coursing can always be had. The
innovation will doubtless be the means of
thinning the ranks of women gamblers,
who neglect household duties for the al
lurements which are always attached to
a game of chance. The managers of In
gles1de Park received the congratulations
of the sportSmen who were present for
the move they made in what certainly is
the right direction.
The coursing yesterday was truly ex-
cellent. The hares ran surprisingly well,
thanks to Game-keeper Harry Murray,
who Is considered the superior of all men
in the art of putting hares in condition
to give their purSuers courses that are of
the grueling kind.
The upset Of Commodore Nash by
Eleven Spot was one of the big surprises
OF the day, but Byrne's young dog ran like
a warrior and handsomely defeated the
ola bread-Winner. Miss Skyball and Ber-
nice had a hard trial. The hare was
representative of the. old guard and it
seemingly amused the little animal to
run over several miles of sod in front of
its enemies, who were thoroughly pumped
Olympus and Black Bess and Sir, John
Arnot were pretty well used-up when they
were returned to their respective handlers.
The sport to-day should be first class, as
the winning dogs of yesterday will meet
in the slips. Among the noted sportsmen,
who wiz be present to see the races, are
York. Those gentlemen came to TINS
city purposely to become acquainted with
the game and to learn how coursing can
be conducted with pleasure and profit for
all those who take an interest in the pas
time.
They propose to inauguarate coursing
in the State of New York on a plan SINH
lar to that which made popular the sport
in this State.
