COURSIhG HOMOR5
FOR POCATELLI
Captures Special Stake
Cleverly at Union
Park.
Palo Alto Beaten by Homer
Boy After a Long
Struggle.

George Nethercott's great young grey
hound PocateIli. the brindle and white
son of the dead Emin Pasha. fulfilled the
prophecy of his admirers yesterday at
Union Coursing Park. He won the de-
Gliding course of the special stake hiiilully
from strong field.
Palo Alto, the prohibitive favorite for
the stake, was beaten in the second round
by Homer Boy in a trial which lasted
two minutes and thirty-six seconds For
the course Palo Alto was l TO choice.
The score was 80 points to 19. The vic
tory did not do Homer Boy much good'
as he was withdrawn in the next round,
the long trial leaving him unfit Tor com
petition.
Pocatelu was fortunate in securing two
bye courses. In the first ASSie W, Whlch
he was TO meet, was withdrawn Decaus~
of a hard trial. The second bye was
natural one as there were only three
dogs left in the stake and Pocatelh was
the third. The deciding course, IN Whlch
he met Rural Artist, was an interesting
trial. To the surprise of many spectators
POcateln led 10 the hare by four lengths
and ran up a good sequence Of points.
Rural Artist finished strongly. He
scored a go-by on the outer circle, turned
the hare and killed. The score was 13
points to when the flag went up.
As was expected the puppy stake went
TO George NetheTcOtts Barge, which de-
feated +. Shultis' Special in the deciding
course This is a big, rangy younSster,
which gives promise OF being as clever
performer as his kennel-mate, POcatelt.
The hares were uniformly strong ones.
The courses, with but few exceptions,
were won decisively, leaving no room 10
doubt which was the better hound in each
trial. AS usual the favorites justified the
confidence of their hackers by winning
with but few exceptions. The defeat or
Palo Alto at > TO 1 and Of Till1e + by
Rural Artist at to 1 were the only big
upsets. The attendance was large. The
