COURSING YESTERDAY.
The Capital Coursing Club had its winter
meet over Joseph Hanlon's grounds, near
Georgetown, in this county. There was a
fair attendance and excellent sport. Fully $50
people were upon the grounds, many of them
being lovers of field sports from abroad.
James Adams, President of the Pioneer
Club, was present as guest, and he and A.
Manning, President of the Capital Club,
with Assemblyman Garibaldi, acted as judges,
while R. o. Mullane and J. !. - adogan held
the slips. The day was a superior one, the
dogs in good trim, and the game as plentiful
and wild as the most ardent could desire.
The first pair of dogs slipped were Mary
Stuart and Bright They ran half a mile in
close contest, and killed in good shape.
Mary got the hare.
Black Jack and Tom Moore went next,
running about three quarters of mile. They
started two hares Tom followed one and
Jack the other. Tom killed his game with
the assistance of Lady Grant, who was let
loose to help him, and that she did right gall
lantly. Jack lost his hare in some thick
brush.
The next pair was made up of Patsey Boil
ivar and Boss Tweed and the race was very
close one. After losing sight the sportsmen
knew very little about the outcome. The
hare was caught, but the credit was given to
neither. There was some lively steeplechas-
ing in this match, though the run was only
about half a mile.
In the fourth race Mollie McCarty and
Lady Grant made the pair. They got their
game in short distance and followed it well.
Kitty Woods got loose from her owner dur
ing this match. Lady Grant made the kill
ing, and the race was awarded to her.
Susie and Kitty Woods made the next
match. A superior run resulted, and the
hare was taken in fine style. Kitty made
the most points, and the race was given to
her.
Emma Lyman and Mary Stuart ran neyt.
This proved the longest race of any, and COW
cred two miles of ground. Mary won the
race and much deserved praise.
Then followed field-racing, in which all the
dogs had free way, and some excellent sweep
stakes runs were made. The day, in all,
proved capital, and the sportsmen thoroughly
ENJOYED the sport. Joseph Hanlon gave the
use of his grounds, made his home the Club
head. quarters, and set out for the visitors a
handsome collation., for all which the Capital
Club voted him load of hearty thanks, and
resolved that he was one of the most generous
of hosts and liberal of citizens. The com.
pany reached the city on return about P. II.
The RAILROAD AND THE CHINESE. Re

railroad shops, and Of Superintendents Pratt
and Wright and Assistant Superintendent

railroad shops there are about 800 men en-
