Bmin Bey and Market Day II (3 to 1) were admirably slipped after a rather weak hare. Both dogs were in company for a short distance, when Market day forged ahead and effecting a turn killed the hare and won. , A better hare was slipped for the next pair of dogs. Black Pine (2 to 1 oh) led up, turned; . and eventually killed. ; lona (6 to 4) and Jaok Tar were despatched after a capital hare. The latter led up but was soon displaced by lona, who turned and afterwards worked well, her opponent appearing to tire. Jaok Tpr killed near the esoapes, bub his account was 1 much below lona's score. ■ 1 ! Smoko led Irony (6 to * on). The white don 4,id not show up well at all, quite disappointing his supporter*. Smoko worked excellently throughout and scored all along, the hare escaping. j Level money was on Magic II and Watermark. The latter led up by a dozen lengths and turned again and again, winning easily when the hare escaped. ' i ■ Flora (5 to 2) competed with The Bantam, but both dogs put in suoh excellent work and scored .bo evenly that the judge declared an undecided course. In the run off very even, work resulted, Flora eventually pulling off the palm with but little to spare. 1 Fugue and Snowball (2 to 1) were slipped after a strong bare, which gave them no small amount of trouble. The. latter turned, letting Fugue in, and after some give-and-take work Fugue killed, but hit score did not top that pf Snowball. _ ' , , , Harpenden (2 to 1 on) did all the work with Maid of Athens and won with' everything in hand. The hare was not touched. Presto (6 to 4) led tip from Kaloolah by a dozen lengths, and caught the hare as it was turning. Fernandez (3 to 2) and Newton chased a regular beauty; it was within a hundred yards of the escapes before it was turned by the former. The bulk of the afterwork was also done by the same dog.

Briar Boot let Solitary, and increasing her advantage as puss was reached won the course with the hare's escape. Lord Aston led up from Calliope. Neither dog appeared to make much of an effort. The palm wai ultimately given to the former. The hare was only half-way to the esoapes when Lochiel was on him and turned, allowing Hard Times to get in. A good fight then ensued, but the hare at last got through the fenoe, and Hard Times was adjudged down. Aedroug ua.ro was detpa.to.iied. for the .succeeding

pair. Melbourne Tom was quiokest from the slips and turned, when Marguerita, got in and also turned, bringing about the previous Order of things. Some give-and-take work ensued near the escapes, the bulk of it going to enhanon Mr Sharper's dog's soore. A raoy.hare was unpenned for Emln Pasha and Loo. The former was a warm favourite, and led np by a down lengths, but notwithstanding his utmost efforts he could not catch the hare, whioh showed the way all along to the esoapes. Le Oaron and Kathleen were slipped In faultless style, the formar at once going to the front, and oarrying off all the points. . Kingask had the advantage ,of Pineapple in the ran up, and working closely almost soored a bloodless viotory over his opponent. Scawfell Lass showed the way for Bau-de-vie, and In a short course won with a kill about the oontre of the ground. Stormy Night and Killalu had a short course, whioh ended all in favour of the former. Market' Morn was quicker than Wild Lady in getting' away from the slips, and led. up with eight or ten lengths to the good. He first scored by turniDg the hare, and still keeping in again turned. The Lady got in only once, and made but a poor stand against the big dog. . Scud proved a better dog than Nimrod at every point, and won with almost everything in his The next course was between Bonnie Blaok Begs and Adamant. The flntnatned waa a warm favourite, and fully justified the support accorded her. She scored point after point and won, Adamant gaining nothing but the death. Wildflower and Battle Cry were very evenly i backed. The latter led up, but was soon displaced by his opponent, who thereafter did excellent work and won, when the hare escaped through the wire fence. A weak hare was sent ont for Banger and Ivanhoe, and within a hundred yards from the slip* it was caught, the result of the course being in favour of Ivanhoe, Flimsby led up from Oroydon to a strong hare and turned. Maintaining his advantage, he again turned when pnss escaped. • Qaiokstep ran with Miss Nancy, the latter leading up and' turning. Most exciting work ensued, the principal part of it being done by Miss Nanoy. In the next round Last Chance easily put Market Maid down, and in the following contest Rotomahana had all the best of it against Hichmond. - Vixen won both in the run up and in the workings from Squib, who got in only onoe. The hare escaped. Penanoe made hie way quiokest up to the bars and turned when near the escapes, letting Minion in momentarily.; but Penance was soon in again, and onoe more turned. Minion tben took up the running, but the hare escaped. . 1 . i YellQw'Boy hnd.a great lead over Clinker in the ran up and turned, when the latter came along and killed.' , Isonomy was fira,t from the slips and took a leadjof a dozen lengths f rom.Winter Boie. The dog increased his lead as the hire was reabhed, and killed before the fawn doubled. . ' Vogel and Santley had a stiff encounter. The former had a slight lead in the run up and turned, after which the hare was warmly ohased for some time, being flecked over and over again by both dogs, Vogel at last killing and winning. Second t)AT— Fbiday, The weather was rather more favourable. Results of 'the day's work are as follows :— ■ NBW ZEALAND WATEBLOO OUP. SKOOND BOUND. Black Pine beat Market Day II i ona beat Smoko Flora beat .Watermark Snowball beat Harpenden Presto beat Fernandez. Blaok Pine (2 to 1 on) led up to the hare from a rather' indifferent slip, of which he obtained the advantage, and turned, allowing Market Day to get in, but jbhe hare again doubled,! and the favourite onoe more resumed possession. The subsequent work was all done, by him, and he wrenohed again and again, winning hands down. • | A ueok-and-neok race ensued between lona (8 to 4 on) and Smoko, but.the former forged ahead by degrees and Jtnsdo first score.; Give-and-take work followed, resulting in the dog being put down with the hare's esoape. A wretched hare was despatched for Flora (2 to 1 on) and Watermark. A very poor course resultedjn Flora's colours being hoisted. . Harpenden and Snowball (2 to 1 on) bad a short »pin after another poor bare. The favourite put In most work in capital style, and won with only a point to the good. ; Presto (3 to 1 on) had the next course all to himself, it being .seen immediately after the dogs were slipped that Fernandez was lame.

Irish Meg won in the run up to the hare and turned, when Briar Boot (6 to 4) on took possession. The hare again doubled, and the favourite shot forward and >nioked it. Lord Aston (2 to 1 on) was quiokest from the slips, but Loohiel passed him and turned. Puss then made for the wire fence at' the opposite side of ■ the conree, being followed by the favourite, who did the best work to the end, the hare escaping. 1 Melbourne Tom (5 to 4 on) wai first up to the bare, and bad three points to his oredit before the hare, turned and his opponent took up the chase. The favourite again got in, and was working splendidly when he rolled over and over, leaving Bmln Pasha 1 for a few seconds with everything to himself. Tom' was not long, however, in resuming his feet, and once more dashed in pursuit and assumed command. He wrenohed twice, when Bmin came, along and killed.

Kingask .(3 to 1 on) and Le Caron had a very straight course In pursuit of a very strong hare. The favourite worked very closely and scored almost all along the line. Stormy Night (3 to 1 on) showed Scawfell Lass the way and did all the work, the latter spoiling any chance she might have had by killing. Market Morn and Scud (3 to 3 on) had a close run up, but the former pulled in front and wrenohed, and still keeping in, Increased his score. Scud then took up first place, but did little work, the hare escaping. Bonnie Black (Bess and Battle Cry (6 to 4 on) were sighted to an excellent hare whioh headed all the way for shelter. Battle Cry got several half turns and won with the hare's escape. A cnpital spin between Ivanhoe (2 to 1 on) and Flimby, in wbioh both dogs put in good work, ended in a viotory for Ivanhoe. Last Chance (3 to 2 on) met Miss Nancy, and was first on the quarry, scoring repeatedly, while the latter scored nothing. Botomahana and Vixen (3 fo 1 on) 'had a capital course, both keeping within a few yards of eacli other all through, and generally being side by side. It was a very nioe trial for points, but Vixen at last pulled off a win with a kill. Penanoe and Yellow Boy (3 to 3 on) were slipped ia excellent style, the former leading up with a couple of lengths to the good and turning the hare, but still retaining the running. His opponent tben got in, and during a long .spin after a very dodgy puss he soored point after point, and won, the hare gaining covert. Isonomy (2 to 1 on) led Vogel in the run up by four lengths and turned, after which both dogs alternately held command in the ohase, saoring very evenly. Near the escapes Isonomy gave the nonfavourite a dear go-by and won with the hare's esoape, WATBBLOO PURSB, For dogs beaten in first round of Oup. Winn«r, £14 ; runnor-up, £i ; third dog, Jfc*. 7IRST ROUND. Brain Bey beat Aorangi The Bantam beat Magic II Fugue beat Maid of Athens Newton beat Kaloolnh Jaok Tar, a bye. , Bmiu Bey and Aorangl (6 to 4 on) had a neok-and-neck race until they were within a dozen yards of puts, when the favourite went up, turned, and still Kpepiog possession ran up a tidy little account before his opponent got in. The favourite, however, did not succeed In topping Bmln's score before the hare escaped. Magic II and The Bantam (4 to 1 on),pureued |a beautifulhare. The latter led up with two or three lengths to the good and won with several points advantage,

Fngue (5 to 2 on) had things all her own way with Magic 11. Kaloolah and Newton (2 to 1 on), the latter with a alight call in the betting, were well despatched after a grand hare which had plenty of "go" in him to try the mettle of both hounds . Newton worked very close after the first turn and, with the hare's escape, the flag went up in his favour. Jaok Tar ran a bye, Irony being withdrawn. WATBBLOO PLATE. For five dogs beaten in second round of Oup. Winner, £10 ; runner-up, £7 ; third dog, £3. FIRST BOUND. Smoko beat Market Day II Harpenden beat Watermark Fernandez, a bye. Smoko (3 to 2 on) ran a splendid oourse with Market Day 11. A capital run up, In whioh both dogs were olose all the way, resulted in the hare being turned in Market Day's favour. Give-and-take work followed, hut when puss reached shelter the favourite's account was the larger. 1 Harpenden led Watermark (3 to a on) by a few ' lengths, but on tine turn the favourite got in. Harpenden, again taking possession, worked the hare well down the ground, and always having the advantage, won with the escape. 1 Fernandez was entitled to a bye, but as he was lame in the morning he was not sent out again. ' Thibd Day— Satuhdat. . - The weaijher had not improved on Saturday, bat notwithstanding this a fair number of lovers of coursing found their way to Forbury Park, where they witnessed some very interesting— and in some cases exciting— courses. Shortly after noon the^ remaining Bracelet events were commenced in a heavy downpour of rain. The finals resulted as follow : — WATERLOO OUP. THIBD BOUMD. lona beat Blaok Pine Flora beat Snowball Presto, a bye. Blaok Pine (2 to 1 on) and lona were slipped to a strong hare. A great race for the first turn, whioh lona just got. Blaok Pine wrenohed twioe and put the hare to lona, who took the next turn. Blaok Pine dashed in for the next and then stood off the hare till it escaped. This was a very unlucky trial for lona as tha hare kept going from her all the time, as the next trial proved. The flags went up for. a no course. In the run off lona led up and did most of the work, killing easily. J Snowball (2 to 1 on) led Flora by four lenghti for the first turn. Flora wrenched, twlee and put. the hare to Snowball for the next turn. Flora then got possession and working her hare In grand style, held selfish poisession for eight wrenohes before the hare escaped. It was a brilliant performance for the winner, Presto ran a bye, and caught his hare in flrat-oln,SB fashion. TOUBTH BOUND. lona beat Presto Flora, a bye. lona (6 to 4 on) had a slight advantage m the run-sp, after one of the strongest hares of the daj. Puss proved an r xcellent dodger, and only wrenohes were scored by the pursuers, the majority ' of thqm going to lona. . Presto slipped badly at one period, and lost a lot of ground. , , TIIfAL B«UND. Mr W. Gardiner's f.w b Flora, by Sam-Miss Cameron, beat Mr H. Irving's f w b lona, by Horse Marine— Solitude, and- won the stake. >.< j The two dogs, were pent on their,, way r ln excellent fashion, neither of them having the least advantage. Even money was laid', but It was apparent as iponias the contestants were fairly on tbeir,way that Flora wai the stronger. She led up with half a dozen lengths to the good, turned, and still retaining possession, scored repeatedly with wrenches r and turns before lona's chance came.. The latter's, turn* was short, however, and Flora onoe more, took , up the running. Puss turned and lona .darted at her, but only soraped the fur and turned the hare to Flora, who also m&de a, strong effort to kill, but the quarry nioked through the hedge and escaped. WATBBLOO PUBSE. < SECOND BOUND. Bmin Bey beat Jaok Tar Fugue beat The Bantam Newton, a bye. Jaok Tar led Bmin Bey (6 to 4 on) and turned, when the latter took up the lead, and working closely and oleverly won on all succeeding points, when puss escaped.

Newton had a slight lead in the run up, but was passed, before 1 the' hare was reaahed, by Bmln Bey (3 to 2 on).

Barley's ,b d Smoko, by Smuggler— Oomo, beat Messrs Allan and Finlinson's blk w d Harpenden, by Oakfield— Gluolna, and won the stake. Fernandez having proved lame on Friday morning, only Smoko and Harpenden were left in the final. Harpenden (2 to 1 on) was qnlokest out of the slips, but Smoko passed him and turned, and then followed some excellent work by both dogs, in which Smoko 6h.owed,most in front. He flicked the hare twioe as it was doubling, and at last chased it to the shelter, and won with a nice little score to bis credit;--BRACELET STAKE. THIBD B0UI»D. Lord Aston beat Briar Boot Kingask beat Melbourne Tom Market Morn beat Stormy Night Ivanhoe beat Battle Cry Last Chance beat Vixen Isonomy beat Penance. Even money was laid against the first pair, but Lord Aston proved the better runner, holding bis plaoe for several wrenches. Kingask and Melbourne Tom had a rattling chase after a beautiful hare, which eventually eluded them when the former's score was on top. Level money on the event. Market Morn and Stormy Night (3 to 1 on) esoaped from the slips at the snme instant and were soon on the traok of the hare, the former having a few lengths advautage and, thereby making the first turn. Stormy Night took\ip the running, but overran pu«s for a considerable distnnoe, and for the rest of the course the favourite had it all his own way and won with the hare's escape. Ivanhoe (3 to 1 on) met Battle Cry and won with ease in an uninteresting course. Even money was on Last Chance and Vixen. They •were sighted to a regular spinner, to whom Vixen led in the run up by four lengths and wrenched, when Last Chance took up the running and did all the rest of the work until the hare gained covert. Penance and Isonoiny (3 to 1 on) had a splendid run, in whioh a number of exchanges took plaoe, ending in favour of Mlbb Allen's dog. FOUBTH BOUND. Kingask beat Lord Aston Market Morn beat Ivanhoe Last Chance beat Isonomy. Eingask (6 to 4 on) and Lord Aston next started, The former had the advantage in the run up, and turned the hare near the centre of, the ground. From this spot some excellent work was done by both dogs, but the favourite scored most, and when puss escaped he had things in his favour. The following brace of dogs— lvanhoe (2 to 1 on) and Market Morn— were evenly despatched. Ivanhoe was leading well when he slipped and allowed Market Morn to go to the front and turn. Sharp work ensued before Market Morn pounced on the hare and won the course. Isonomy (6 to 4 on) led up from Last Chance, but was unfortunate in lo»ing hfs feet for a second or two, whioh allowed Last Chance to go in and wrench. Give-and-take work followed, but towards the end Last Chance with great determination kept very close, and was accorded the victory. FIFTH BOUND. Kingask beab Market Mom Last Chance, a bye.
