A GREAT DAY Of SPORT
Some Wise Ones Fell at the
Coursing Park.
BETTING VERY LIVELY
Favorites Had Everything Their Own
Way at the Beginning-A Dump
or Two in the Fourth
Round.

Simply the greatest days coursing
ever seen in Montana was the verdict
of all at the West Side park yesterday.
Judge Jerome said he never saw such
trials in park, take them all through.
Betting was lively. Through the sec
ond round the favorites had things
pretty much their own way, but after
ward about every third course one
could hear the thud of the fall of the
wise ones. Fftz-Regena beat Tornado.
but he did not beat him very much.
Smut raced away from Barrister and
made a running kill. The first go be-
tween Sapphire and Lobelia was I'M
decided and in the un-off Sapphire
won easily. Flying Dutchman led Lady
Euclid and wrenched several times in
his usual clever style before letting
her in, then she gave him the go-by
twice, and they exchanged several
times, and the hare escaped after run
ming straight along the escape a long
way with Lady in the lead Had the
hare stayed out a few seconds longer
Lady would have won, as she had
"Dutchy' beaten, but he won by one
point.
Lady Regina, running with great
fire, beat Marietta after an undecided.
Flashlight beat Lord Nelson in a pref
ty course toward the northeast cor
ner, but Nelson made a better show
ing than it was thought he could with
the white flyer Silver Bow led Mill
Creek, and the latter killed cleverly,
undecided. In the run-off the old
hero had it all his own way, but it

by one point in a very pretty trial.
Rusty was too fast for King, and Mon
tana Eclipse scared the form PLAYERS
nearly to death by just letting Lady
Hearst beat him.
In the third round, Fitz- Regina Just
beat Smut, and Sapphire, a one to
three, disposed of Lady Regina. Then
Dutchman. at one to four, beat Flash
light. Lear King simply ran rings
around Silver Bow, who did not have
gallop left in him. Then came the
prettiest and hardest course of the day,
between Lady Hearst and Rusty The
hare persisted in breaking back, and
this merry brace wore themselves out
with rapid exchanges. Lady, at last,
put an end to a cruelty long course by
clever kill. This knocked Lady
Hearsts chance for first money into
a cooked hat.
In the fourth round came another
dump or two. Sapphire did not do a
thing but lead Fitz-Regina, turn and
kill another one to three shot that
came home. Then the wise division
picked Lear King to beat the very
tired Dutchman. He had pace enough
to do it, but, puppy-like, did not stick
close enough to his hare, and running
very gamely, Dutehman won a good
trial by one point. Lady Hearst had
bye, which shetfan with Lord Mel
son, who beat her easily in a short
course.
In the semi Finals. {Dutchman had the
bye, and Sapphire beat Lady Hearst
pointless. This left Sapphire and
Dutchman in to run for a first and
second, and, as they both belong to
Jimmy Bennett, they divided the
money, $50, Lady Hearst taking third,
SO: Lear King and Fitz-Regina $3.50
each; Smut, Lady Regina, Flashlight,
Silver Bow and Rusty S. each. the 10
winners of one course saving their
stake. 2
