FOREST AND STREAM. 



327 



Peter the go-by lie rapidly evened the score and put some- 

 thing to the good before he got unsighted, and gave up, com- 

 ing back to us. Then Van, though pumped, gave an.exhitai- 

 tion of pluck, working the hare alone in a potato patch up 

 and down, back and forth, then out into the open where he 

 turned the bare to Willy, who was looking for it. He flecked, 

 but Van got up to the scut again and nearly ended the course 

 several times unaided. Another turn in the patch and then 

 he shot out and nabbed his game. This was the most deter- 

 mined, plucky course of the meeting on Van's Peter's part. 

 The latter won, of course. This completed the card for the 

 day, seven miles from town. 



THURSDAY. 



It was raining as we came from breakfast this morning, 

 and the outlook was dreary in the extreme, while the air was 

 far from being warm. About 10 o'clock it cleared, however, 

 and a start was made in the same direction as yesterday. 

 Though few comparatively turned out this morning, by noon 

 there were quite as many as yesterday. A number of ladies 

 on horseback graced the proceedings, to say nothing of a 

 bevy of "schoolmarms" who came to see the fun in a large 

 wagonette. The stewards kept good order, though toward 

 the finish this evening a lot of young fellows on horseback 

 renounced all authority and followed the courses contrary to 

 rules. With this exception all through the meeting so far 

 the people have been most amenable to the field discipline. 

 The card commenced with the 



Columbus Cup — Third Bound. 



Sir Hugo and Nanct.— In slips at 11 A. M. Sir Hugo had 

 cut himself pretty badly on the near hindleg but it did not 

 seem to afEect him much. Putting up the first hare entailed 

 a forty-minutes walk. Nancy hung fire when the word came 

 and Sir Hugo got a lead of ten lengths. This Nancy closed 

 on the run up but Sir Hugo .scored the turn, and placing 

 Nancy she knocked together several points and finished with 

 a good kill, aided by Sir Hugo. Nancy won. 



Willis H. and Voltaire.— There was considerable inter- 

 est in this heat, Willis H. being a local dog. In slips 11:47. A 

 hare was put up at once and the bigger Voltaire led and 

 turned, placing Willis H. for a turn and two wrenches. 

 Taking puss to the crowd, some long grueling runs took 

 place, first one having the advantage, then the other; in a 

 sharp rally Willis H. rolled over, but placed himself again on 

 Voltaire's turn. After working the hare upward of three 

 miles puss saved his fur by dodging into an earth, with Wil- 

 lis close to his scut. Willis H. won a bruising, clever course. 



Laplander and Ban Boy.— This was the only course 

 where there seemed to be room for doubt as to the correct- 

 ness of the jadges' decisions. Ban Boy wore the white collar 

 and my eyes are good for nothing if I didn't see that white 

 collar m front most of the time. They were ofi: with a good 

 slip at 12:06 and Ban Boy scored a turn and two wrenches be- 

 fore Laplander could place. Ban did most of the work in 

 front of the crowd and kept close to the hare the most of the 

 time and finished with a good kill. The red flag went up and 

 Laplander won. Ban Boy had the speed of the other at all 

 points of the game. If Laplander did that work then 

 there must be something in second sight. We may have 

 been mistaken, as Mr. Williams is equally certain of his part 

 and he must know best. 



Ramona and Prince Charlie.— These are two very hand- 

 some dogs. A hare got up at 13:30 and dogs sent on the jour- 

 ney on equal terms. Ramona proved the speedier and was 

 first to score, placing Prince nicely, who cut the score down 

 and added some for himsel f . Some rapid work on both sides 

 followed, and Ramona tried for the kill but missed, plaeiog 

 Prince Charlie, who did the rest of the work, finishing with 

 a smart kill. Prince Charlie won. 



It was now lunch time, and Mr. B. H. Mulcaster afterward 

 took occasion to sell by auction a draft of pups from his ken- 

 nel, particulars of which sale will be found elsewhere. 



After lunch the 



Columbus Furse — Second Bound, 

 was run oil, commencing with 



Lord Neverstill and Royal Crest. — A move of two or 

 three miles was made to other grounds to get out of the way 

 of wire fences, and at 2:35 the first brace were put in; but this 

 ground would not do and we moved still further out, and 

 they were finally slipped about 3 P. M. The dogs were un- 

 ruly in slips, Lord Neverstill behaving, as u.sual, very meanly. 

 Straightened out they broke badly, Lord Neverstill being un- 

 sighted, but following Royal Crest, he got up in time to see 

 the black dog turn the hare. Royal Crest always had the 

 foot of the bigger dog and rapidly increased his score, Lord 

 Neverstill getting one or two wrenches in the sharp ex- 

 changes. Royal scored several go bys and finally pressed 

 puss to seek refuge in a hole after a bout of three-quarters of 

 a mile. Royal Crest is a smart performer, works low and 

 ^-xlose to his game, and has lots of speed at command. 



Drytime and Joe McAuliffe.— This was New York ver- 

 sus California. Mr. Watson as usual had his dogs follow 

 on in their courses. A hare was found at once, in slips at 

 3:14. Drytime scored in the run up and turn, and puss 

 coming through the crowd put for the open, Drytime work- 

 ing close up tripped, thus placing Joe for the kill which they 

 managed satisfactorily between them. The hare getting oif 

 a few yards and falling. Drytime won. 



Greenshine and Will-o'-the-Wisp. — Game was soon 

 found, but Greenshine was unsighted at start and made a 

 wide detour, letting Will in for first points. Then he joined 

 issue and working the hare through the crowd made sev- 

 eral minor points, when the hare put for the rising ground, 

 Greenshine working him all the time till puss holed. Green- 

 shine won. 



St. Lawrence and Van's Peter. — In slips at 3:50; getting 

 a hare quickly Van proved the faster in the run tip, placing 

 St. Lawrence on the turn for a minor point, but Van's Peter 

 giving him the go-by, worked the hare with little chance 

 for the white and black, finally shooting out and using 

 his t^eth to good eilect, after a two mile course. This ended 

 second round of the purse. 



Columbus Plate— First Bound. 

 Delsarte (a bye). — This dog ran a good coiu-se and 

 was doing bustling work, as they disappeared over rising 

 ground. 



Viola and Raven.— In the slip at 4:12. Viola started 

 best, but Raven shot across, made a strong run up and 

 scoring placed Viola, who rattled up several points before 

 they got out of sight over a ridge of grass, running puss to 

 earth and winning handily enough. 



Touchwood and Bicker.— Sent oft at 4:27 to a fair slip, 

 "but Touchwood proved the speedier to the hare by several 

 lengths and turned his hare, keeping well to the scut, and 

 after going a half mile tried for the kill, flecked and then the 

 black was placed, and nearly turned a somersault in his 

 efforts to nab puss. Touchwood then gave him the go-by 

 and killed smartly. Touchwood won. 



Princess May and Flake.— Put in slips at 5:48 P. M. 

 Princess pi-oved the speedier, and never letting the other 

 dog in tried for the kill, but tripped only; starting out again 

 nabbed puss this time and was an easy winner. 



A match race was then decided, the brace being Mr. J. 

 Herbert Watson's The Judge vs. Dr. Van Hummel's Rhea. 

 The course was one sided, The Judge having the speed of the 

 other, and working his hare well in a burst of half a mil^ to 

 the com when he lost. 



PRIDAY. 



This morning opened bright and clear with a touch of 

 frost. A large number of spectators was expected out to see 

 the finish iu the different stakes, and we were not disap- 



pointed. During the day it became rather warmer than 

 comfort demanded, but goin^ to the place where we left off 

 last night, about eleven miles from town, rabbits were 

 found in quite sufficient numbers to allow of good coursing 

 and in only one or two cases had the dogs to walk much dis- 

 tance in slips. The crowd was the largest during the meet- 

 ing, over 600 people watching the sport from wagons and 

 horseback, and they seemed to come from all points of the 

 compass. They were very orderly, to", the field stewards 

 having no trouble at all in keeping the line. It was not ne- 

 cessary to hurry in starting, as we had all the day before us, 

 so that it was 10:56 when the first brace in the closing ties of 

 the cup were put in slips. 



Columbus Gup— Fourth Ties. 



Nancy and Willis H. — The crowd was much excited over 

 this course, as Willis H., having run so well through the 

 stake, was thought by the Huronites to have a fighting 

 chance for the money. A hare was soon started, and to a 

 good slip Nancy held well to her course, byt Willis some- 

 how was unsighted for a few seconds, losing many lengths 

 which he found it hard to make up against so speedy a one 

 as Nancy. The bitch turned smartly and, keeping close up 

 she pressed puss for a couple more points, where Willis now 

 being on terms with the game shot in and turned very hand- 

 somely placing Willis for a couple of scores. Nancy coming 

 on the outside tried for the kill, but it resulted in a trip, 

 placing Willis, who accepted the favor and killed too soon to 

 equalize the score, Nancy won. 



LaplandePv and Prince Charlie.— In slips 1:10 andgetting 

 away from one of Brett's best efliorts; both ran as if coupled 

 for some distance till Prince Charlie drew out and getting to 

 puss worked her for several points back and forth, his re- 

 covery being marvellous for a dog of his size. The hare 

 nearing Laplander the latter reduced the score a point or 

 two bearing puss toward the crowd, and the hare thinking it 

 too warm in every way made for Jack's Harbor, as the old 

 well is now called. Prince led the other by a couple of 

 lengths in a long run, but he could not prevent puss from 

 seeking safety in the well. This was a grand course and 

 must have been two miles, both dogs showed their good con- 

 dition. It now looked, with ordinary luck, all over Prince 

 Charlie's cup. 



Final. 



Nancy and Prince Charlie.— Though, this of course did 

 not follow we might as well close up the cup. In slips at 

 2:40 P. M. Prom a capital slip to a quickly found hare 

 Charlie's stride gave him the advantage of the little bitch 

 and L. was first to score, keeping possession for a 'nice 

 sequence when turning puss abruptly the judge's horse ran 

 right into the dogs, Nancy narrowly escaping death, the 

 horse jumping over her. She lost ground, but nothing 

 daunted, was soon on terms with Charlie and in the sharp 

 work that ensued helped herself to a few points and being 

 cleverly placed made a capital kill. A bruising course and 

 a good deal of it in sight of the crowd. Prince Charlie won 

 the stake and deservedly so. He ran a good greyhound right 

 through, has lots of speed and for a dog of his height works 

 very close to the ground, and is extremely quick in recovery. 

 He is a handsome black and white dog, weight about 601bs., 

 and can win on the bench so well formed is he, especially 

 from ribs back. Nancy is a smart looking brindle of 461bs., 

 well put together. There were no freaks at this meeting. 

 Nancy is very quick in recovery and has an even snaky glide 

 that is dangerous to the smartest hare. Laplander and 

 Willis H. are also well made dogs of about 601bs. weight, all 

 black and seem to know the ways of puss at every point. 

 They are a dangerous brace in any stake, and Huron should 

 be proud that it owns such dogs. Congratulation over, we 

 return to the 



Columbus Purse — Second Ties. 



Royal Crest and Van's Peter.— In slips about 11:25. In 

 a long run from a good slip they ran head and head, but 

 nearing the hare Royal Crest drew out and pressing puss 

 for the turn, followed up his advantage, and keeping close 

 to the scut forced a wrench and placed Peter, who scoi'ed, 

 and Royal Crest soon getting possession tried for a kill, went 

 by, but recovering on Peter's place used his teeth effectively 

 for a good kill. A hard course of about IX miles. Royal 

 Crest won, and Mr. Watson's stock was high in the market. 



Drytoie and Greenshine.— This course was enough to 

 make any man's heart bleed for poor Drytime. She was put 

 in slips at II :55 with one leg up— a pad and a toe-nail torn off. 

 There was quite a little walk before puss was foimd, and this 

 did not improve matters for the bitch. Eventually when 

 slipped the cord broke and Drytime was seen to be running 

 as if .she had all her toes and a few others besides, but the 

 slips were fast to her neck. The slip' was, barring this, a good 

 one and the hare strong. The cripple led to the hare and 

 keeping possession worked it through the plowed ground, 

 scoring several times, placing Greenshine for a couple of 

 turns and a wrench or two. Then the hare went clean away 

 down to the bottom and was holed. Drytime won, a hard, 

 rough course at any time, but handicapped as she was she 

 showed herself a wonderfully game bitch, and now that she 

 has earned her brackets she should be retired. She is in her 

 fourth season, and Mr. Watson says this will be her last ap- 

 pearance. It was lucky the bitch did win or it would have 

 been declared no course. Mr. Watson owning both dogs left 

 in for the final, they divided. 



Royal Crest is a black dog of about 601bs. weight. He is 

 well made and a clever, improving dog. With more experi- 

 ence he is bound to do even better, for he seemed to get 

 smarter every day, and needed his first day's work to tune 

 him up. 



Drytime is a light fawn-colored bitch, and has been seen on 

 the bench, where she won second at Boston a couple of years 

 ago. Royal Crest has also been favorably mentioned at New 

 York. 



The Columbus Plate. 



First Ties. 



Delsarte and Viola. — In slips at 12:18. A hare was 

 quickly found and from a good slip Delsarte got into her 

 stride the quickest, but Viola followed the judge instead of 

 the hare, and had to make a wide circle before getting up to 

 the other dog again, who meanwhUe had been pressing the 

 hare for several points that did him no good. Placing Viola, 

 she soon made good the little contretemps at the start and 

 knocking together a nice sequence, working close to the 

 scut and never giving the hare much leeway, placed Del- 

 sarte well, who made the best of his opportunities in some 

 rattling exchanges, when Viola tripped, and before they re- 

 covered the hare had a good start, and quite a course ensued 

 before Viola, making no mistake this time, shot in for a clean 

 kill. Viola won with something to spare in a rattling course 

 of over a mile. 



Touchwood II. and Princess May.— Sent off to a good 

 slip Princess led to the hare over the rising ground and 

 turned to Touchwood, who got in a couple of good turns, 

 then placed Princess who pressed Jack so hotly that he was 

 fain compelled to go straight away for Jack's Harbor, when 

 he disappeared as Princess's jaws were closed on his cotton. 

 The flag went up for Princess May. 



A match race was then run off between May brook Kennels' 

 Miss Dollar III. and Dr. Van Hummell's Black Bess, in 

 which, aft«r a pumping course, Miss Dollar was declared the 

 winner, both dogs going out of sight of crowd. 



Luncheon was then the order and several photographs of 

 the dogs and officers of the club, judge, slipper, etc., were 

 taken by Mr. BushneU, a photographer from Efuron. After 

 this the final in the Cup Stake was run off as described 

 above and then the dogs were put in slips for the last course 

 of the meeting to decide the Columbus Plate, 



Final. 



Viola and Princess May.— This was a sharp'courae'on'a 

 strong dodging hare. From an excellent slip Princess May 

 showed the faster and scored the turn, placing Viola, who 

 put in some good work. Getting over to the rising ground 

 she pressed Jack again for a good score in a lot of dodging 

 work, in which Princess May got a share of the honors. 

 Finally Viola, running in for the kill, flecked and placed 

 Princess May, who picked Jack up in a smart, straignt run 

 in. The red flag went up, denoting Viola's victory, and the 

 finish eleven miles from town of notably the most successful 

 coursing meeting ever held in this country. 



Puss was presented to Forest and Stream.
