FRISCO WINS IN THE FINALS OF
THE CLASS STAKE, ALTHOUGH
DEXTER 3. SHOWED WELL.
PLEASANTON TAKES THE
OPEN STAKE CLEvERLY
Some Of the Best Hounds Were Out
and Number OF the Courses Were
Of an Exciting Naturc-Some Dissat-
isfaction Expressed Over the Defeat
OF Dexter 3. in Class Stake.

Coursing at the West Side park yester-
DAY afternoon brought out only slight
attendance, but the sport afforded consid-
cradle excitement to those who saw the
contest Tor the money in the two stakes
which were coursed Pleasanton went
through the open stake with flying colors,
and Frisco got the big slice of the money
IN the class stake, although il was thought
that Dexter had him out-pointed in the
final round
Plcasanton, the winner of the open
stake, did not have to exert himself n
great deal i'll the first round, as he had
very little trouble in beating out Carrie
d., who showed herself no match for him.
In the second round he was ptted against
Gold Standard. hound with excellent
breeding, but his speed and clcverness gave
him the points over his opponent. Glencoe
proved fully as easy for him in the semi
hnas, but he came near meeting his match
in the finals when he was slipped to fight
it out with Swedish The latter showed
plenty OF Gle, erncss. but lacked the speed
TO give him the points.
Best Dogs Out.
The class stake brought out 10 Of the
best OF the local dogs, and the various
rounds brought out several exciting
courses. Frisco was picked to go through
by the majority of the wise ones, although
IT was evident from the superb form ex-
hlbted by Dexter y. in his round against
King Kelly that he would make deter
mined try for the morey. Frisco came
near being put out Of the running in the
second round when he was slipped against
Montana Jack as the latter went away
with terrific burst Of speed and actea
cleverly until he turned the rabbit. At
this point Frisco began to get busy, and
Montana Jack was out-pointed from then
on, as Frisco kept the rabbit to himself.
The fight between Frisco and Dexter b.
in the finals precipitated the heaviest bet
ting of the day, as both dogs we're sub
stantially backed Their work in the
round was the best seen during the day,
and it was exceedingly difficult for the
judge to pick the winner. When the
colors of Frisco were waved announcing
him the victor there was much dissatis-
faction among the hackers OF Dexter b.,
who laid considerable money on their dog,
as they felt that their hound out-pointed
his opponent in both speed and clcverncss.
