SPEEDY COURSBRS
IN TRAINING FOR
THE GREAT STAKE
Rich Prizes Of the John Grace
Challenge Cup Event Attract
Greyhounds Of Champion Class

n IL the high class performers IN
X local coursing are being espe-
ciany prepared for the next big
event, the John Grace challenge cup
stake This viii be decided next
Sunday at Union Coursing Park. AS the
time draws near the names Of the old
Tine favorites are heard on all sides and
already the dogs with records are in de-
mand. The younger and more recent per-
formers, as a rule, have been a triie IN
lucky in getting hard coursing in these
last few stakes. As a result Of this the
champions Of last year hold first call in
the big event at present. Aeolus has had
more than his share OF hard running and
Il is doubtful If his owner considers him
a good chance. Cold Shivers. looked upon
as the strongest Of the youngsters with
high ambitions, is out Of the game, at
least for this stake.
It is expected the nomination Of Beacon.
runner-up in the last John Grace cup. will
be offered. Beacon has been in training
for some time and if reports of his try
outs are true the dog has developed such
speed that he will go to the slips a heavy
favortte. He has not been in the running
for some time. Many months ago the
senior Curtis. in the heat Of passion, said
some harsh words about Union Park He
declared his blue dog, Beacon, would
never again run on the grounds. The
park management took offense at the re-
marks. The officers said Beacon would
not have any privileges, at least not until
an apology from Mr.. Curtis was offered.
Whether the park has withdrawn it's uIti-
matUm or the apology has been made has
not been stated.
Albert Curtis has in Rector an entry
that viii bring home q healthy slice OF
the rich purse. Rector in his last time out
won first honOrs in a stake Of class.
OF the other likely candidates r, K.
Malcolm will name Black Flush and Fine
Fire. Black Flush is the worthy son of
the great stake winner Royal Flush. and
has already shown himself a good one.
On long hares it is ward worker that
can take honors from him. Fine Fire
has been in special training and is ex-
pected to perform well in this event.

This member OF the Curtis kennel showed
her breeding and captured her last two
stakes. While not possessed of great
speed Charta e persistent courser and
clever on z hare.
