COURSING.

THE WATEELOO MEETING.

Second Day.

The sport yeeterday was quite up to the standard of the previous day, the hares running with great fire and determination. About 300 persona were present, but this number would iave been greatly augmented if the weather had cleared up I earlier in the day, as at the time "of starting it was by no means very assuring, which was the cause of a large number not being present. At one time during the diy the clouds had a very threatening appearance, but fortunately nothing serious came of it, and a very pleasant day was spent. The card, which consisted of forty-four courses, was got through only just in time, as when the last courses were being run off the shades of evening were fast making an appearance. The judge and slipper in their respective duties quite excelled themBelree, performing their parts really well, aa also did the flag steward, slip steward, and the other officers of the club. The trials between Bordeaux and Bockwood and Adamant and Azalea were th& chief features of the eport, a considerable amount of interest being manifested in both courses. Waterioo Cop. Third Bound. Bordeanx beat Bockwood ° Napoleon beat Maraschino Nancy lice beat Scipio Sir. Bidley beat Hercules Obstacle beat Clio Symphony beat Miss Pawe Adamant beat Scotland Tet Azalea beat Harpsichord. Fourth Bound. Bordeaux beat Napoleon Nancy Lee beat Sir Bidley Obstacle beat SymphoDy ~ .A damant beat AzftlffHi The following is the Cup running :— Third Eound—A start was made at 11.30 with Bordeaux • and Bockwood, the former being the favorite, with 5 to 2 on. From a grand slip, to a good hare, Bordeaux drew out by three lengths for the turn, the fawn then rushed in and had a good innings, keeping well on his hare, scoring well, and looked all over a winner, but an opening being made the black got busy. The excitement on the Stand was intense, as first one and then the other scored near the escape, some very pretty work being done, and when Bordeaux, having brought down hie game, was left a winner. Napoleon and Maraschino ran an undecided. "When next' sent off the pair kept well together. Napoleon taking first honors by three lengths ; the "Wellington representative scored the second and third, and then opened for the Frenchman, and when puss escaped, Napoleon had just won. Scipio was first from slips, and maintained hia position for three parts of the way, when Nancy Lee raced past and secured the turn, keeping possession, Scipio making several game efforts to pass her; but Nancy Lee was not I to be denied, and kept her place until Bearing the escapes, when Scipio rushed by, scored twice, and drove to covert. Verdict for Nancy. A good hare was liberated for Hercules and Sir Kidley; the former led at the start, but Bidley raced past for the turn. Hercules was round quickly for the second, then Kidley got placed, but immediately fell, which allowed Hercules to score again. A good course then ensued, Hercules making a mistake near the escapes. Bidley scored ' twice, and Hercules drove to covert. Obstacle, moving in grand style, led Clio, and in a good working trial won all the way, finishing with a magnificent kill, Clio leaving off very lame. Symphony led by four Jengths for first; Miss Dawe then dashed in for the second and exchanged with Symphony, but the hare escaped before she had quite rubbed out her opponent's score. Adamant soon showed Scotland Yet his heels, and scored twice, when Scotland dashed in, killed and lost. Harpsichord came first from slips, but three-parts of the journey, Azalea rushed past, kept selfish possession, and totalled up a nice score before Harpsichord had a chance at the lower end of the ground, but the effort came too late, as the I grand opening of the "flower" was unI deniable, and she won easily. I Fourth Btfand —Bordeaux, in a long stretch, drew out five lengths for the turn, and working splendidly hardly allowed Napoleon to score, when he killed, an easy win. Nancy Lee and Sir Bidley at the first time of asking ran an undecided. When next slipped Nancy Lee led Sir Bidiey to a rare hare by three lengths, and keeping her place for a time used puss thrice and then made a gap, which Bidley

filled, and was soon busy, scoring -well, but making a mistake Nancy went to the front again and some merry work was indulged in, piiss being , eventually killed by Nancy Lee, and the flag went up in her favour. Obstacle was always too much for Symphony in a good working trial in which pass escaped. A racing hare was sent adrift for Azalea and Adamant. The former, whe was the favourite at 7 to 4 on, was first to show in front, but only for a short distance, when 'Adamant forged ahead and reached hia game fully five lengths in advance, and kept possession for the following three points. Azalea then made her effort, but it was too late, as the good beginning made by Adamant left him an easy winaer, when the hare escaped. THI "W.4T82L00 PtTESB. First Boand.

"Waterloo Purse — First Eound — The Mascotte was too fast for Grand Duchess, reaching puss three lengths, and scored twice, when the Duchess went in, and from thence a good |.ive-and-take course ensued, ending with a meritorious win for The Mascotte. Lurline went away with a spanking lead, being quite four lengths in advance, when she turned and wrenched; Taraban then dashed by, and keeping pussy in front, won aU the way to covert. Pakeha led, and beat Kanzan any way, Mr Porter's dog shaping well. A regular strider. waa liberated for Gran-u-Wail and Queen, the slipper despatching the pair very evenly. Gran led well, reaching pussy four lengths in advance, and keeping possession ran up a big score before Queen had a chance to put in a few points, but when Gran killed she left off a good winner. Spider led British Queen, and in a straight run to cover only allowed her one point, puss getting off easily. Darkie led Lancer by three lengths, scored the turn and a wrench, then gave place to Lancer, who could only use for one; Darkie came again and in a fair course was the best and won. Bed of Stone was much too good for Wild Bose, and scored everything but a few weak points at the finish, puse escaping. Shadraeh led and beat Scot pointless. Princess Charlotte, to a good hare, drew out three lengths from Street Arab for the turn, swan? round smartly for the second, then placed Street Arab for the next two, | Princess then raced past and drove to covert, winning well. Queen of Scots always had the advantage of Blue Velvet, both in speed and cleverness, and won a good trial well. Starlight led up well by three lengths, and scored the first three turns to commence with, : then placed Braw Las 3, who followed with two. Starlight was round the smartest at the next exchange, and driving her game killed and won. To a fast hare Gipsy Maid showed Belle Mahone tho way, and kept possession until near the escapes, where a couple of exchanges took place, puss being lo3t then, and Gipsy won. Boyal Charlie came away with a three-length lead, and scored twice, then placed the brindle, who scored a like number. Charlie then put in a turn and a wrench, after which Bella Donna got possession, and working very prettily for several points, brought down I the hare and was left a winner. Headingly raced past Wainui for the first turn; Wainui dodged in for the second, and the dog for the third. Several smart exchanges were next the order, mostly in the J blacks favor, who was always the fastest in the strotches. Wainui then killed, and I Headingly won. Anson and Jenny Lind ran an undecided. In trying conclusions Anson went to the-front at once, and! always was the best in a fair course. The next trial, between Grasshopper and Star., of the South, was precisely similar, the former taking the lead, and leaving off a good winner.

Second Bound—This trial was a very hollow affair, as The Maecotte started off with a long lead from Taraban, and drove tbe hare right down to covert, never allowing Taraban- to score. Gran-u-Wail went away with a strong lead, her performance being 1 a very brilliant on*>, Fakeha being unable to give her the least help. Spider lead Darkie three good lengths to a dodgy Bare, acd jjroving the cleverer, won well. Bed of Stone was faster than Shadrach by three lengths for the opening score ; was first round for the second, then went wide. Several exchanges next ensued, in which the blue made eeveral mistakes which allowed the dog on several occasions to race away in possession, but when the hare passed through the fence Bed of Stone's early point gave her the verdict. A good give and take course next took place between Queen of Scots and Princess Charlotte, in which the former always showed up most prominently, and won, the progress of the hare being stayed just before the escapes. Starlight led and beat Gipsy Maid all the way. Anson led and scored the early point, Bella Donna getting in for a few at the finish, but puss escaped before she had squared accounts, and the black won. It was dusk when Grasshopper and Headingly were slipped, and the hare making for the far side of the grounds very little of the work done could be seen by the spectators on the stand, bnt what w»s seen the fawn was the best, and received the judge's fiat. Ths Watebi.oo Plate, for 16 dogs beaten in second round of Cup. First Hound. Bop Bitters beat Secret - Seafoam beat Mistletoe Seadrift beat Minola Richmond 11. a bye, Champagne Charlie (drawn) Fairy Queen beat Bashful Maid Glasgow Collie beat Dnke of Wellington Myitis beat Needle Horse Marine beat Cliquot Waterloo Plate—First Bound—Hopbitters was first up by three lengths, and kept possession for the four turns in succession, then gave an opening to Secret, who replied with a couple of strokes to her credit. Bitters then, in a stretch, raced np first turn, placed Secret, who went in possession, soon killed and lost. Mistletoe led for fifty yards. Seafoam then drew away from her, turned, then exchanged with the white, who scored one and Seafoam killed. In a fair stretch Seadrift was too good by four lengths for Minola, scored the turn, wrenched twice, then placed the black, who wrenched twice, turned and killed—a very near thing. Richmond 11., in the absence of Champagne Charlie, ran an accidental bye. Fairy Queen three lengths better than Bashful Maid, when she turned, and, keeping her place, scored the three subsequent points. Bashful Maid then went to the front for a couple, but Queen, not to be denied, came again, and left off with something to spare. The brothers Glasgow Collie and Duke of Wellington next tried conclusions, the former carrying out the expectations of his supporters by winning all ends up. Myrtle was better by a couple of lengths than Needle in the rnn up, and, settling down to her work in right earnest, proved too much for Mr Campbell's puppy. Horse Marine drew out from Cliquot, and, in a merry course, outworked her, and won, Cliquot killing.
