COURSING.

SHEFFIELD CLUB.

The running of the second day’s sport for the stakes of the above club was commenced at 10 a.m. on Mr Minohin’s estate, tbs weather again being all that could be desired. The number of people present was not so large as on the first day, but still a very fair number turned out to see the wind-up, and they were well rewarded for their pains. Although only throe courses had to be run off, two of them were worth going miles to see. The following is the final result : MALVERN PURSE. Third Bound. Tibby Fuller beat Barbells Patrician ran a bye. Eva was drawn lame out of this round. Fourth Round. Patrician heat Tibby Fuller, and won the stake. I must compliment the two namesakes (Messrs Willis) on the condition in which they brought tbeir dogs to the slips, leaving very little to be desired, and, to show how little lay between Patrician and Tibby, it may be said the former won by ons point only. The death is to be recorded of a good greyhound, Mr Flanagan’s Carlton, which ran a terrific course with Mr Q-. B. Willis’ Eva in the second round, being thoroughly run to a standstill by the largest and strongest hare of the meeting. The course ox'onded for over two miles, and resulted in favor of Eva, and the hare escaping. Both dogs showed symptoms of distress immediately after being picked up, Carlton gradually sinking till Friday mor. iog, when he died. After the coursing was concluded a number of gentlemen connected with the club met at Mr Flanagan’s Hotel to present Mr McConnell with a valuable silver trophy, as a small recognition of that gentleman’s services as slipper at the two meetings of the club. Mr Keys in an appropriate speech made the presentation, which was suitably and feelingly responded to by the recipient, who informed the members present that nothing gave him more pleasure than to bo at their service. A hearty vote of thanks to Messrs Matthias and Minchin for their kindness and courtesy in placing their paddocks at the club’s disposal was passed with acclamation and their health drunk with flowing glasses. A cheer was also given for Mr Turner, who, in hii capacity as judge, has given great satisfaction to every one interested. The settling then took place, the sum of over £36 being paid to different individuals, thus bringing to a conclusion a most successful and orderly meeting, YALDHURST MEETING.

A committee meeting of this club was held on Saturday afternoon in the Shade* Hotel, Hereford street, the alteration of the place of meeting being changed so as to make it convenient for the country members to attend.

The following members were elected on the committee—Messrs J. Piper end J. R. Brunt and the following were elected as a ground committee—Messrs Banger, Calvert, Bell, Smith, and Brunt. The club have the promise of a fine coursing country for the Juno meeting, Mr Alfred Saunders, of West Melton, having kindly placed his land at the disposal of the Papanui Club. It was mentioned that it was rumored that the Yaldhurst party were favorable for amalgamation with the Papanui Club, but it was resolved to take no notice until an official notice be made. The meeting then adjourned.

A match for £25 aside wes run oS on Friday in Mr Bailey’s paddocks, at Templeton, between Mr W. H. Porter’s Parmesan and Mr Addison’s Wizard, Mr B. J. Mason acting as judge, and Mr Spooner acting as slipper, the conditions being the winning of two courses out of three. The first course was won by Parmesan, In the second trial, Wizard led up and took the first two turns out of her hare, Parmesan then got in by favor : but Wizard gave him a go-by, taking two or three more turns and a wrench, but the hare got to oover, and Wizard scored. In the next course, Wizard again led up, and scored the first three turns. Parmesan then came on, and did a little work, all going through a fence, and some work resulted on the other side, but an undecided was given as the result, which caused considerable dissatisfaction to the friends of Wizard. In the final course, Parmesan was again led by Wizard, who began piling up a score, but Parmesan raced past several times, and won the course and the stake,
