fornia Plate Stake To-Day

LA-E wei weather Qlu lOI keep the
crowd away from Union Coursing Park
yesterday. From the time the first
course started at II in the morning till
the last one was run off at dusk the
interested ones thronged the grand
stand and betting ring. Such a gala
day has not been known at the park
for a long time.
It was a great days sport. The first
round Of the Belle Brandon stake for
the youngsters proved to be a star
event and brought out a lot of likely
ones. Every puppy slipped showed in
good form and for first timers the young
dogs demonstrated they were record
breakers and due TO perform in good
style before long.
But the real event Of the day was the
California Plate stake in which all the
champion hounds were entered. Three
rounds Of the stake were run down,
when darkness interfered and brought
the days sport to an abrupt close.
The local dogs shone brightly in the
plate stake. No less than five of them
are still in the going and p4ey all seem
to have a good chance to get away
with the final honors to-day. The
home hounds include Mount Rose, PAIo
Alto, Reta S, Sea Lion and Full Moon.
Full Moon seems to be the favored dog
with the wise followers Of the game,
though there are many who concede
Sea Lion a chance.
Sacramento Boy and Tillie r, the
two capital city dogs remaining in the
stake, ran in great form yesterday.
Both viii prove stumbling blocks in the
final event and each has a good chance
TO land the stake. The only imported
dog to last till the fourth round was
Gambit. He is still in the going and a )
he showed a world of speed yesterday
he may be one of the good things.
For the Belle Brandon stake Flower
Girl is thought TO be the best of the
bunch. She performed in grand style
for a youngster yesterday and has
splendid c, &C Of finishing with the
headliners. little Freda is also men
toned as a likely candidate. though it
is almost a certainty that Flower Girl
win rule a big fa te.
A consolation sake for the thirty
two dogs beaten in the first round of
the California Plate event yesterday
viii be run off to-day. The sport will
be ushered in this morning with the
second round Of the Belle Brandon
stake. Then the first round Of the con
ISOLATION viii be run down, then the
