Sacramento daily record-union. [volume] (Sacramento [Calif.]) 1875-1891, 1882-03-27


Brought Together on the Coast.
Early yesterday morning lovers of sport
began to arrive at Whitcomb's ranch, some
twelve miles south Of this city, to witness the
grand coursing match given under the aus
pices of the Sacramento Valley Coursing
Club. When the hour for slipping the dogs
arrived fully 800 persons had assembled upon
the grounds. The general verdict of all
when the days sport was over was that this
meeting was the beat and most interesting
they had ever witnessed. Hsres were
plenty and strong, and the dogs were
the best in the State. Everything
passed off pleasantly, and too much
credit cannot be bestowed upon the judge,
Joseph Powers, the stewards, II. S. Beals
and II. E. Greer, and the slipper, Henry
Larkin, for their excellent management of
the races. The prir cpal interest centered on
the dogs Bradley, Blue Jacket, Amy How
ard, Lady Franklin, Odd Fellow and Whitley.
The Judgment in all the races gave very good
satisfaction except 10 two cases. In the
fourth race Thomas Danwerth's Smuggler
could not get over a fence. and in conse'
quence was beaten by SNOWFALL The back
ers Of Smuggler say that it should have been
declared no race, aud hold that the rules of
the club will sustain their protest. The
other case wherein the judge did not please
81 parties wac tire FACE between Shaw's
Whitley and Towards Amy Howard. Whitley
had the best OF the race for quite distance,
when abe fell, and Amy passed her and
killed the hare. TIE judge decided
it no race, Tie hackers CT Amy
were very indignant. This race, however,
was ran over later Ia she day, whsn Amy ran
away from Whi,ey IN good style and won
handsomely. This satded all differences and
also proved Amy Howard to be equal to the
best greyhound on the coast. The race be-
tween Hanrahsu's Bradley and Leaks Blue
Jacket was the exciting race of the day, anG
one on which many hundreds of dollars
changed hands. Blue jacket is owned in
Dixon, and has had the reputation of being
the heetesJ hound Ia the State Bradley is
an old Sacramento tavorite. and one who
won many laurels n former matches. The
race was hotly contested, both dogs showed
remarkable speed, hut Bradley bore his colors
to the front amid the loud chsers Of tie Sierra
mento boys. With a very few excep.
tions the races we're all good and
the dogs pretty evenly matched. The
grounds were all that could be wished
the delays between races were very short.
There were great may ladies present, who
seemed to enjoy the sport fully as well as did
those OF the sserner EEK. Several young
country ladies en- horseback exhibited con-
siderable equestrianship, and the way they
handled their horses put to shame our city
boys vino assayed to follow the hounds on
horseback.
