Great Preparations Have Been Made | to Receive the Big Crowd That Will Witness the Cham- pionship Finals. Notwithstanding a sharp north wind that brought tears to the eyes of those who witnessed the run-down of the great one hundred dog stake meeting yesterday at Ingleside Coursing Park, the crowd at the pleasure grounds was as large as on any previous day when a particularly classic event was announced. Those who paid attention to the remarks made in The Call of yesterday regarding the prob- able short ends in the run-down saved many dollars, as there were nine short- enders who figured as winners of the number stated in the report. The hares sterday ran with great strength and speed, as may be imagined from the following times that were taken by Timekeeper McHugh.

In the first heat of the mile handicap, Pro; aal, the order at the finish was C. S. Wells, Iver Lawson, G. A. Wyman. Teddy Goodman won the second heat. E. Leonart second. Hardy Downing third. These six com- peted in the final. Goodman quit when the race was half over, and Lawson sat up on the sixth lug.
