The Golden West Club Meeting at Ocean
View.
The Golden West Coursing Club will hold
meeting to-day at Ocean View. The re-
suit of the drawing OF dogs has been pub
hshed. and judging from the many first
class flyers" whose names appear on the
programme some sharp and exciting con-
tests will be witnessed
The answer given in Sundays coursing
column concerning a race which took place
at MERGED at the late meeting between
Daisy and Duke was wrong. The fact of
one of the dogs having quit running did not
altogether shut him out Of the race, as was
supposed at the time. owing to the way in
which the question was propounded. The
rule says:
course, or departs from dit ectly pursuing the
hare, no points subsequently made by him shall
be SEQ ed; and If the points made by him up to
that time be just equal TO those made by his an
tagonlst in the whole course, lie shalt thereby
lose The course; but where both dogs
stop with the hare in view, through inability TO
continue The course, II shall be decided accord
ing to the number OF points gained by each dog
during the whole course.
Devastating is becoming quite fad
among certain class of individuals, who
steal the cauines generally in the hope of
receiving a reward for their return. 1t
would be well for dOs-stealers to bear in
mind that any one found in possession of
another mans property can be made to
suffer severely. as dogs are now personal
property and their value III many cases is
much higher than Thoroughbred cattle.
y. Rowe, the Weil-knOwn coursing en-
thusiast, writes TO the Secretary of the
American CouTsing Club in Chicago as fol-
lows:

that almost every other branch Of field sports

meeting OF more than ordinary Importance In
1898 think the time has come when This mat
