COURSiNG AT OCEAN VIEW.

An AlI-Aged and Puppy Stake of Eight
Dogs Each Run Yesterday.
Quite a pleasant day was spent by the
members Of the Santa Clara Coursing Club
at Ocean View Park yesterday. The
weather was very fine, the grounds excel
lent and the hares, on the whole, gave very
good trials, but II was evident that the hares
found on the grounds. and started from
their lairs, as is done in the open fields,
gave much better trials than those that were
in the latter part of the day run from chute.
The worry and annoyance caused by being
driven into and through the chute evidently
affects them, and they, consequently. fall an
easy prey to their long tailed enemies. j. r.
Dickson officiated US judge.
In the alleged stakes some of the cid vet
Grams of the coursing field again made their
appearance, and one of them, Midnight.
owned by Dr. Wadams of Santa Clara, ran
with all the vim and dash of puppy, and
carried off the first honors of that stake. An.
other of the same class was MOSQUITO.
Though not so fortunate a Midnight, vet
she showed up well, and went down more
by accident than anything else by getting a
weak hare in her run with AnteO in the
second round.
Native Daughter, owned by A. Tracy of
San Jose, is one of the handsomest bitches
that has appeared on any of the coul sing
fields for some time, and was brought fit and
well to the slips, if appearances are worth
anything She should be thorn in the side
of any opponent. The following is sum-
mary CT the running in the alleged stake:
r. A. Crosby's Anteo beat Mr. Blackwell
Bingo; +. Curtis Mosquito beat A. Tracy's Ma
tive Daughter; DIR. Wauams' Midnight beat s.
MellcNi ms McGinnis, and Mr.. Frlnk'S Examiner
beat A. Tracy's Vinegar Hill Lass
Second round-AnteO beat Mosquito, Midnight
beat Examiner.
Final-Midnight beat Anteo and won the stake,
S25; Anteo took $15.
The Puppy stake for eight dogs was an
exceptionally good one, and a finer lot of
youngsters cannot, it is fair so say, be found
in any portion of the State. Five of the
eight are the progeny of that good and
well-known bitch, Peasant Girl, and are the
get of DR.. Wadans' Midnight the winner
of the All-aged stake). These pups are but
thirteen months old, and to look at them
one would think that they must be eighteen
or twenty months. Two of them. especially
Moonlight and Shortstop Though it is diff
cult TO discriminate between them, are fiji
to meet anything of their age in the cuun-
try, and when grown to maturity will surely
be heard OF. The following is the summary
of the running for this stake:
B. Maloney's Fearless beat A. Tracy's q. W
Lee; T. A. Kings Moonlight beat DR.. Wadams'
Headlight; s. Miiliken's ShOrtstop beat DR..
Wadams' Twilight; p. Curtis Skyrocket beat
NJ. FaIrelPs Black Diamond.
Second round-Moonlight beat Fearless; Sky.
rocket beat Shortstup.
Final-Moonlieht by Midnight Peasant Girl
beat Skyrocket by Midnigh- Peasant Girl, aud
won the stake S25 and a cup valued at $40,
presented by Mi. Canoyan.
The meeting was finished by 80 o'clock,
evidently to the satisfaction and pleasure
Of all concerned. Immediately after the
coursing was over. Mr. Nolan's Dark Rustic
and Mr.. Byrn's Nelly Bly, were put in slips
to run off match for a small amount. In a
few moments a hare was started, which
proved to be the flyer of the day, and a
grander course was never seen at Ocean
View. Rustic had little of the foot 4" OF
Nelly, but she was something more than his
equal in working, and, eventually when puss
FELL the judge was unable to award the
purse to either, and the match was undecided
Thus closed very pleasant days coursing
