LORD BYRON
IN FIRST AT
UNION PARK
SCOTS Big Greyhound Beats Out
Merry Maiden for the
Reserve Stake.

Mtdweek coursing at Union Park seems
to have struck the popular taste. The re-
serve stake yesterday served to attract
there more than 1000 people, who were
given more than the ordinary amount of
sport. The hares, as a rule, were strong,
some remarkably So and the courses were
at times exciting. E. & r. Scott's Lord
Byron beat Z. +. PaSson's Maiden to first
money after that active hound had dis
posed of Maid of Erin in one of the most
stubbornly contested runs Of the day, the
hare escaping.
Easy money tickets were torn up in the
first round by those who were certain
Hazel Dell could beat Montana. They
think she can yet, but she didn't yester-
day being away off form as a result Of a
grueling course she received last Sunday
at Inglesde. She was badly beaten.
Wondering Tom who was put out in the
third round by K Capitol, got the flag
in the second round from Little Joker.
After a short undecided Tom and the
Joker were slipped after one of those de-
mon hares you read about. He ran them
all over the lot, f1irted with them at one
of the escapes, refused to take it and
headed away from them in the direction
OF the slips, Wondering Tom taking a
nasty fall on the way. 1t finally became
necessary to slip another dog, who ran In
and killed.
The final round was not long in doubt.
Lord Byron looked to have the better OF
it by reason of the grueling given to the
Maiden in her course with the Maid Of
Erin although some people took shy at
ship might lurch. He fooled them. There
was nothing to it but the nobility in short
order. The results were
