Some disappointment was felt yostordaj rith tho running of the hares. Thi majority of them whon liberated aeercod to in a half-hearted kind of way, and uvoral of thorn actually died of fright (rithout the dogs giving chase at all. The i mortality amongst them was very great. 0) ill that woro coursed only two esrapod, and Jjjgympfttbyofthaspeotatoraattlicirsuccesa «M manifested in cheors ti>at made the irelkiß ling again.

Plujjpxo.v Pabk, 12.15 p.m. The heavy squall of rain and wind which juesed ovef'the city just befero five o'clock .this morning must have had a powerful deterrent ■ effect upon intending patrons of tiie conwing turf. However, some 'JoU per sons of the imlo persuasion were found Tenturesome enough to brave the elements jd order to witness tho sport. As on the prerious day, so now tho clerk of the sreatherrelented at the last moment, and, •ffhsa the course -was reached the sun was ,J tbining brightly. The ground, ho.vever, wasinasoddenjistate, ■while tho appearance of Mr McEwin's banquetting apparatus in a state of migration to the shelter of the Grand stand told an eloquent story of the ravages of nude Boreas. It t-eem that nt '9.30 the enterprising chef dc cuisine and ■to faithful henchman were busily en gaged in catting up sandwiches when a terrific gust of wind brought down the upon their heads, smashing i good deal of crockery, and demon .(toting a choice assortment of eatables. A slight accident occurred on the trip out this morning. The guard <rf the train, Cutting his time rather rim at l'apatoi toi, made two unsuccessful attempts to jump on to the van after the en gine had started. At the second trial he missed his footing, and fell over on his b«ck. He was brought ou to Plunipton Park in a trolly, and waa found to have «caped with a slight injury to his left leg. Altogether there are not more than 250 people present, and as Jimmy Pools and Bob Blakey are among the number, betting transactions are likely .to be more active than they Mere yesterday. Tho coursing has just started, •»nd promises also to be far more vigorous than it was yesterday, as the hares tried so far are full of spirit, and both run and double well. East Lynn, Como, (iitanin, Rate, Black Tulip, and Star Lad are the favourite dogs with the books. Another iquall has just descended upon us, and deltor is at a premium, 1.30 p.m. Yet another squall, tins time accompanied ly hail, has just passed over, and a third is ominously looming upon the horizon. Still toe coursing proceeds apace, and the sport ■superior to thut of yesterday, while tho "books," with vocal vigour, are stimu- Itfing speculation considerably. The re alto so far are as follow, it being under stood of course thut to-day's 2ti competitors ««tho winning dogs in yesterday's cours ing. , L -i, McCabeVs r b East Lynne beat T. lock's r d Rala. This was a grand run. The haro doubled wveral times, and the dogs ultimately turned it. East Lynne killed, and won. 2. J. McCabe's Como boat T, Burns' Ottawa. After two or three false starts a very gorso course was secured, and Como scored. it.— Hogan's Tairou beat T. McEwin's Joker. This courso is looked upon n.s about the lest of the whole meeting. The dogs were Wl-matched, and the hair made splendid running and doubling. It was collared at last however. t'/'i.J.Abbott's Black Tulip beat W. A. !T«nton's Lady Nelson. Another capital oqnrse, and first-class running and dodging by the hare, which eventually got clear »way. Tulip, however, turned her several times, and scores accordingly. I 5. D. Watson's Ladybird beat 11. Ogle's Highland Boy. I After«n undecided courso Highland Boy J Irentoff with lead and thenceforth mixed sort cunning. Ladybird, however, was ,|Wy game and won in good style, I 6. Mr J. McCabe's Meteer 'Jnd beat W. F, Bockland's Lucifer. After an unsighted ■tun a good course was obtained and Jletcor 2nd won it. ~, 7. Mr Peroi'vars Riot beat Mr J. Dignan's ,He»ther Bell in a short run. ; 8. E. McDonald's Rosy Beau beat G. Browals Sunnymcde also in a short run. 2.30 p.m. D.-T. Chermoide'g Kaiser beat Wall- Unth'a My ; 2nd, another short run. , 10.'—J. Abernethy's Stair Lad beat R. Totara; 3rd, short run again. 11. After an undecided course Burns's Leonora beat Saunders's Blue Gown. ji.l2. Dervan's Clarence beat Watson's Patent in a grand course, in which the hare got away. 13,-A, Buckland's Chloe beat Beaty'a kra in a very short course. This closes tho second round.
