AUCKLAND COURSING CLUB.
The final courses of the All Aged Stakes and St. Leger Stakes, which were left unfinished a fortnight ago, were run off on Saturday at Plumpton Park. There was a small attendance, but some really fine coursing took place. Paddy-go-Easy and Gipsy King wero placed in slips for the final course of the St. Leger Stakes, and after a long and trying course, one of the best that has been seen this season at Plumpton. the victory was awarded to Paddy-go-Easy. The finishing course of the All-aged Stakes then took place. Union Jack ran a bye. Valentine and Waxy were then slipped to a fine strong hare, which gave plenty of play, and after a good course the flag went up in favour of Valentine. For the final course Union Jack and Valentine were slipped, and in a short course the former scored most points and won. The committee met in the evening, and decided to discharge the keeper, and placed Mr. Fergusson, the slipper, in charge of the Park. They also decided to restock the Park as soon as possible with hares from Waikato.
