MILLER'S RABBIE WAS THE HOT
THING OF THE DAY.

Rocket, the fleet hound owned by H
A. Deckelman, won the open stake at
Union Park yesterday in the presence of
5000 spectators. False Flatterer was
runner-up. The day was a great one for
coursing admirers, and up to the finals
it was a hard task to select the winner
as all the hounds participating in the
stake were in fine form and the hares
were also very strong, which is unusual
at this time of the year. The favorites
won nearly all the courses, the hottest
thing in the day that was handed out
being Millers Rabbie in the second
round, the dog defeating Gladiator at the
good odds of to l. The course might
without prejudice be called a lucky one
for the Pasha kennels entry, as he won
by the hare favoring him Gladiator in
the run-up secured the lead and the first
two turns, but he lay off his game for a
few brief moments and the shortenders
choice made a few turns and the XIII.
Rollicking Airs made great showing in
the stake, and was not retired from the
lists until the fifth round, when she was
put out by False Flatterer after a no.
go. Theron was in fine form and secured
third money. He was up against
hard game all day and will no doubt win
a stake in the near future if he can be
kept up to his present form. The course
between The Devil and High Flyer was
both exciting and amusing. The hounds
were slipped to a great hare. who ran
the dogs to a lively pace in all kinds
of rings and circles The Devil was the
best in close work, but when the hare
started out for a run across the field
High Flyer showed the speed. The Devil
had made all the score and won the
flag.
