D. J. HEALEY's GRENADA IS THE
BEST OF THE PUPPIES.

The fortunes of coursing were in evil
dence many times at Union Park yester-
day. This was particularly so in the semi
final round of the open stake when the
faster dog was beaten in two instances.
Flyaway had the speed of For Glory, but
the hare turned back to the latter and the
course was over before Flyaway could re-
cover the ground she had lost. The next
round was run under the same conditions,
J. Deans great dog Gladiator losing TO
Royal Flush. Gladiator led, but the hare
turned to Royal Flush and his opponent
threw up his head unsighted. From that
on until the kill Flush did all the work
and secured the decision. Gladiator was
running in excellent form and was a most
likely candidate for the stake.
The final was between Royal Flush and
For Glory. The, latter is mite of a
grey hound and had furnishing courses
Flush had been favored with compare
lively short courses and was full of run
ming. When they. met Flush led up and
winning the stake from F. A. McComb.
d. j. Healey's Grenada. by Rusty Gold
Wave, the prohibitive favorite for the
Wanda from slips, and although the De
Lopez representative drew level in the run
up Grenada secured the first turn and
Killed. winning the stake.
Judge Bull erred in the course between
Lawrence and Statesman in the second
round. The former won in fairly even
course which the Judge called a "nO-go."
When the dogs were slipped for the sec
ond time there was nothing to the course
except statesman, who won all the way.
The judge gave the decision to Lawrence,
possibly to make amends for his decision
when they met previously. The runs were
as follows:
