FUTUR|TY HOUNDS
IN HARD TRIALS
It Is Thought That Fair
Tralee Has a Good
Chance To-Day.
Up Country Coursing Men
Hold Their Own in Fast
Competition.

The first round of the California Cours-
ing Futurity was run yesterday at Union
Park. The trials averaged one minute
in length and tested the stamina and the
gameness Of some of the young grey
hounds severely.
T. ]. Cronins Fair Tralee. which was
conceded to be the class Of the stake un-
til ne was injured recently, appeared and
ran like champion. If the running to-
day does not aggravate the wound on his
foot he is believed to have royal chance
for the stake. He ran but twenty-three
seconds in his trial yesterday with Chu-
chu
McVey hardly ran up to the expecta-
tions of his admirers. The son of Fetter
Free found it difficult to beat Ploughman
in a course lasting one minute and thir
teen seconds. The score was Is to 10.
He meets Fair Tralee in the first course
this morning and a great trial is ex
pected.
Mi Amigo, one of the most promising
candidates in the stake, was beaten by
Richard Anton in the shortest course of
the day. The trial lasted fifteen seconds
and the score was 8 to 0. Mi Amigo was
never able to get into his stride and did
not do himself justice. He was 1 to 3
choice in the betting.
Our Motto was beaten in a peculiar
manner. She led Donneybrook to the
hare, which she caught on the fly. Her
hold was insecure and the hare escaped.
The pair of dogs then ran for one min
ute and thirty seconds, Donneybrook fin
ally winning by a score of Is to 9.

own With the leashmen of this district
