COURSING.
TO THE EDITOR. Sir,—ln answer to “ Old Timer’s ” letter in this evening ‘ Star,’ I wish to state that “ Plumpton’s ” notes regarding the Dunedin Coursing Club’s last meeting were very misleading. “ Old Timer ” states that the officials could have been much better. If this is so, how is it that all courses were run smoothly and all on time ? I think that “ Old Timer ” is a- new chum and does not understand coursing. “ Old Timer ” also stated that the slipping and judging were poor. This is not correct as far as slipping is concerned, except ift one case, this being the slipping of Greygown’s Image and Paddy’s Lass, where Greygown’s Image was badly left. I can vouch for this as I was at the slips. “ Old Timer ” condemns the judging, the slipping, all the officials, the hares, and all dogs except four. I don’t think he understands the running of a meeting, especially with the adverse conditions of the weather, which was against us from the start. I will admit, however, that the ground could have been better than it was.—l am, etc., Don Harwood. Juno 25.
