The patrons Of The grand sport OF coursing
who have taken an interest in the proposed

posed to be strong supporters OF the sport and
many owning greybounds TO absent themselves

being mulcied for few dollars. Ii the couTSlng
men OF This city do not show more liberal de-
sire 10 support their favorite pastlme what can
they expect OF those who are really dislnterested
