AT THE COURS|NG PARK
Band of Greyhound Enthusiasts
Increasing.
A DAY FOR FAVORITES
Monotony-Four Hares Beat the
Dogs-Only Two Short
Runs.

The regular band of greyhound enthu-
siasts is gradually gaining recruits. The
dsagreeable weather could not prevent
good attendance at the West Side park.
The sport was fine in spite of the fact that
there were great many new jacks in the
field, some of which got into the boxes.
There were only two or three short runs,
four hares beat the dogs and five or six
more were killed right up against the es-
cape fence.
The favorites won most Of the courses
though an occasional short-ender bobbed
up to vary the monotony, notably Rash
Adventure / to 2 shot, against Lord
Nelson. They ran 200 yards like a double
team, but the little black managed to
draw out for the turn and won nicely. Any
time this little beauty gets to the hare
with her mate it is all over for once on
her hare to displace her is almost impos-
siBle
Genial Johnny Rees came up from Ana
conda with Lady Hearst Blue Bird and
new one called Homer d.. a brother to
Blue Bird. The first two won their
courses, but Homer D. did not make it.
Mr.. Rees had what might have been a
serious accident. Running up the steps
to see a course, watching the dogs in
stead of where he was going, he missed
step and struck his chin on a higher step.
The blow knocked him out for a few min
utes, but his anxious friends were re-
lieved to find that he was hardly hurt at
all, though he knew how Fitzsimmons
felt on Friday night for a moment.
Several old favorites made their first
appearance for the season. Wee Daisy
Belle had a long single-handed course.
Bessie, a green one, making trouble about
breaking. Sent off after a rest, Daisy
had the hare to herself until near the es-
cape, when Bessie WOKE up and made sew
eral wild drives that showed speed but
lack of experience, while Daisy held her
inside track and was scoring the points.
Gypsy M. made a goOu recovery from
| her broken toe and ran like the old Gypsy
NJ. in the last course, holding pretty Sly
Girl, another old favorite, safe all the
| way.
SLOUGH won scrambling course against
| another green one after quite an exciting
| fight in the slips
| H. Body, who was training SLOUGH for
| Charlie Gardner, got his fighting blood up
| and was ruled off the park, though he
| WAS dllOWGu 10 take SLOUGH 10 slips DtloIb
