MAGNET WON
THE M|DWEEK
RESERVE STAKE
Bonnie Scotland Lost
in the Final.
PACE TOO SWIFT FOR ALMA
HER CHANCES SPOILED BY HARD
COURSE WITH EXPENSE.
The Hares Ran Unusually Strong,
Which Necessitated the With
drawal of Several Dogs.
Shortenders in Front.

Magnet succeeded in capturing the mid
week reserve stake for non-winners at
Union Coursing Park yesterday, after an
interesting course with Bonnie Scotland.
Magnet led to the hare and performed the
first part of the work. Then there were
a few exchanges and Bonnie commenced
to wipe out Magnets lead but killed too
quick. Magnet is one of the old-time
stake winners, while Bonnie Scotland has
never won yet.
A fine days sport was enjoyed by fair
sized crowd. The hares were unusually
strong and several escaped. There were
two exceptionally hard courses, necessi-
tating the withdrawal of the winners In
the third round Iowa Girl beat Master
piece after hard struggle. In the fourth
round Alma lost whatever chances she
might have had to win the stake by a
grueling course with Expense. Alma did
all the work and another dog was let
loose, but the hare escaped.
The short-enders were fortunate as a
rule, notably Masterpiece, who beat Fire.
