SHORT-ENDERS' DAY AT
UNION C0URSING PARK
FLEET MYSTIC MAID sUCCUMBS
TO LADY GILMORE.
Connemara Is the Favorite for the
Open Stake, With Black Dia-
mond in the Lead for the
Puppy Prize.

Between 500 and GOO people journeyed out
to Union Coursing Park yesterday to see
the dogs run, and they were rewarded
by witnessing some good sport, notwith-
standing the fact that most of the courses
were unusually short. No less than
dozen shortenders won the flag in the
open stake and considerable money
changed hands. The biggest surprise of
the day was the defeat of Mystic Maid
by Lady Gilmore, a l to 10 shot. False
Flatterer, an to l favorite. got the de-
cision over Leonidas, and Flush, who was
quoted at to l over Seminole, also lost
In the latter case luck had great deal
to do with the result, Flush leading and
turning the hare back to Seminole, who
was therefore enabled to count several
points which the favorite had no oppor-
tunity to overcome, as the course was
short one Beauty Spot was also pre-
sented with q victory over Firm FRIEND
a TO | favorite in tiuky course.
