ONLY ONE REAL CON TEST
Showers at the Opening OF the
West Side Park.
NOT OF MUCH INTEREST
Seven Courses in Just One Hour-King
Cashier Ran the Bye With Smut.
Former Won by a Mar
row Margin.

A series of showers greeted the re-
opening of West Side Coursing park,
and the first round was run Off seven
courses in just one hour, without
arousing much interest. The dogs were
drawn so that there was only one real
contest, the first course of all. Lady
Fullerton was absent, and King Cash
Ter ran the bye with Smut. Both ran
very fast. but very wild, the King win
ming by narrow margin.
By the time the second round COM
menced, the sun came out and the jacks
ran better, but, unfortunately, some
Jacks that had been passed in the drive
came out too, and almost every brace
had volunteer course. King Cashier
and Flying Dutchman had a real gall
Topper and long slip, so that they only
just turned him within few yards of
the escape. 1t was run up of nearly
700 yards, in which first one then the
other was in the lead, but King drew
out for the first and won as the hare
escaped. The brace then chased a cou-
pie of loose hares till quite exhausted.
Barrister and Sapphire had another
gallopper that gave them a merry burst
" lHe eSSdpe, bdITlSleT winning IN
great style. They got another, but it
soon escaped.
Billy Walker led Coomassie Queen
and made a couple. then let her in and
many thought Queen had won, as Billy
was quite out of 1t towards the last. but
the hare escaped just soon enough to
save Billy's bacon. Then they had a
ding-dong after a stray hare.
Lady Elsmere ran her bye with a
II orb Of oil
kerr called Lady Glendyne. and the wee
sapling beat Elsmere pointless in a long
course, covering her hare in Billy's own
style.
In the semi-finals King Cashier and
Barrister had a beautiful spin, neck
and neck, for several hundred yards,
but King pulled out as they neared the
hare, made the run by the skin of his
teeth and killed. Lady Elsmere for
the third time showed Indifference
about following the hare. though she
led the very tired Billy the first hun
dred yards. Billy won a short course
to the northwest escape, then ran an
other long way.
In the final, King Cashier was five
to three favorite, and led and beat Billy
well. turning and working his hare
brilliantly in long course, and land
ing his first stake.
