WEDNESDAY.

The weather was windy and unpleasant at the Oval on Wednesday, when the West Bourke meeting wita concluded. Tbe at-tendance was Bomowhat smaller than on the previous day, it being known that the card waa only a abort one. The secretary, Mr. John Munday, made an effort to get up some supplementary stakes, but did not meet with much encouragement from owners of dogs, and it was decided not to run the stakes oil'. In the West Bourke Plate the winner proved to be Good Newe, a last and clever bitch, the property of Mr. Henry Gore, M.L.C., a well known and popular patron of coursing. Good Newe performed very creditably in each of her trials, und the first one she ran on Wednesday was a vcrysovere test, the bare giving Good News and Zampa a great run before Zampa killed. In her next trial with Otterburn, Good News found an opponent who was a little too fast for her up to her hare, but in an excellent run she had the best of Otterburn in tbe after work, and won. Against Renown Bhe carried things all her own way, and despite the two previous severe runs ahe had experienced, Bhe won without allowing Renown a chance of scoring. Good News is a second sea-son performer, and at the previous meeting held by the Victoria Coursing Club thiB Bcaaou she divided tho Ernest Stakes, for eight nil ages, with Sonnet (late Rhyme), who was yesterday purchased by Mr. P. F. Kelly from Mr. E. It Scott The Oval Stakes, for puppies, was won by Honey-suckle,' Mr. G. Whittingham's Wilga being tho runner up. Waterlily, another of Mr. Whittingham's, waa in the last four, but Bhe. experienced a piece of bad luck in getting un-sighted when racing Honeysuckle up to the

hare in the second ties. The judge was ap-

proaching the doga at an angle, and probably through seeing him Waterlily lost sight of her game for a moment or two, and ran widely, thus allowing Honeysuckle to get first to the hare. Honeysuckle afterwards held her own, and won. There was not very much betting indulged in over the meeting, but the winner of the West Bourke Plate, Good News, was second favourite throughout, Renown being the most tancied. Betöre the meeting com-menced his price was 100 to 12, while Good News was at 100 to 10. In the iteciding trial 2 to 1 wa» laid on Renown, and in the deciding event for the puppy Btako 6 to 4 was laid on Honeysuckle. Messrs. Gatenby oa judge, A. F. Thompson as slip Bteward, und G. J, Bignell as slipper, each succeeded in giving general satlafaction in tho perform-ance of their duties. The catering arrange-ments «vere, as usual, in the hands of Mr. C. D. Struker, of tiwanston-Btreet, nnd full justice waa done to the luncheons which he provided. The wind on Tues-day night was so strong that Mr. Straker'* marquee was blown down, and he was put to some inconvenience in conse-quence, After the meeting was over the health of the winners was druuk at the lustauce of Mr. W. M'Mlltar, Mr..Munday

responding on bebalf of Mr. Gore, who WM not present. Mr. Hall, owner of 'ne winner ol the puppy stake, was not present, but ha wag represented by his trainer, Walter Mel* rose. Mr. J. C. Jerome proposed the losers, and Mr. S Willis responded, and several other toasts were also honoured. The de« tails of yesterday'! running are as foi«

Major waa quicker from tho aupa than Otterburn, but tho last named wont past bim up to the baro, whloh be plotted up and killed at onoo, thus winning a Tory ahors trial Wottorhorn led Windsor Bon Irom the slips, but tho laat-namod worked bia way up, the two dogs reaching their bato about togotber Wettothorr» snado a drive and Hooked the haro, Windsor Bon then getting in and Wetterhorn again got to work oil turnod hia gamo over Into Windsor Bon's mouth, Wetterhorn being the « inner Renown was qulokcrt out oí aupa but Huon went past him, Renown again coming and reaching the haro first Ile displayed superior paco and working powers over Huon, ano won the hero cacaplng

THIRD TILS -Otterburn went past Oood News up to tho haro, and the pair thou ran a capital give and

Wottorhorn led Renown up by a longth, and Booure tbo turn, then flooring again.
