More Meetings Arranged for the Near
Future.
The proprietor of the Ocean View CouTs-
ing Park has received from Upton eight
large crates of hares, which are now hold
ing session with the old racers in the run
ming park. a meeting will be held on Sun
day, at which only frst-claSs dogs Will be
allowed to run, and on the oath inst. dogs
representing the second class will be given
an opportunity to fest their speed and stay
ing qualities The drawing in both events
will take place on the evening Of the 18th
inst. at 1l20 Howard street.
This afternoon number of match races
will be decided, few Of which will excite
much interest as there are several bets
pending on the results. Charles Wieland
being now the owner Of Freest0ne, vim
ner Of the first prize at the late bench-shOw,
and also WINNER of the largest stake ever
run for al Ocean View, it is thought that an
impetus will be given cOursing, as Mr..
Wieand is very anxious to see the sport
prosper in this State.
Quite a rivalry exists between the Oak
land and San Francisco cOursing men as to
the running qualities of the dogs which are
the representatives of the kennels on either
side Of the bay. 1t is thought that at a
near future date match will be arranged
between some of the fastest hounds owned
by the spOrtsmen of the two cities.
The Occidental Club, having secured a
lease of Newark Park, propose tn hold some
great meetings next winter. which will IN
doubleday be largely attended.
An Eastern exchange says: In France
there is considerable interest in greyhound
coursing. During the past severe winter the
regular daily programme was run despite
frost or snow. The two coursing clubs of
Paris had alternate meetings each day of
the week, Sunday included, and some of the
best stakes were run on the first day of the
week. But the number of courses run each
day, twelve 20 twenty, was much less than
is usual in England, where from sixty to
seventy are often run at some large cOurs-
ing meetings In England it is rumored
that one or two new coursing-track are to
be opened near London, and meetings are
likely to become more frequent than during
the mast fay ssaSnnS

to win a heat from him in 10 3-5 seconds. In
proper condition he is certain to give good
account of himself.
What has become of genial j. ID. CARR

H. NJ. Collins, o. A. c.. will be a candi-

tend themselves to win from MIN. PrOmi-
nenu athletes are Of the opinion that he is
sure OF a place in the half-mile.
Mount Olympus ToOmey seems 10 have
lost all interest in athletics, and why this
is so 1t is impossible to ascertain. rs he IS
conspicuous by his absence at the grounds
en- practice days. To9mey was the most
promising middie-diStance colt that the
0ly mpic Club possessed, and probably the
best on the Coast.
Z. Mays of the University Club will have
to look to his laurels on championship day
in the 440-yards event. IfeverythiHg proves

Roy Gallagher willrun under the Olympic

training, ana will enter the 100 and go yard

heard of fav0rably In the sprints.
w. c. Cassidy of the Alpine Club has
been suffering from a spTained ankle; but
his friends state that he has recovered SUI
ficently to go into active training for the
championship.
1t has become a question whether 2. n.

athletes remember many a sterling contest
between him and Horace Coffin for first
place.
NJ, r. Espinosa has declared his intentiO n
TO train lar the mile event. He should
make good time, as he has lots of speed.
and his staying qualities are Of the best.

ADOPTED THE CHICK.
A Queer Cat Story Which the CoIusa S
AIarn

A Queer Cat Story Which the CoIusa Sun
Man Vouches For.
The Colusa Daily Sun tells the follow
ing: Recently female of the feline tribe
found herself possessed of a number of
small feines, in the barn of S. r. Smith of
ColuSa. Several youngsters found out that
there were kittens in the building and
of course began bOthering the mother
and her young. The mother fought for h er
offspring, she scratched, but still the
boys pestered her. Finally she became
convinced that she would have to move
her kittens to some other spot and in the
stiffness Of the night she carried them one
by one to secret place. But setting hens
are generally to be found in Secreted places.
and as luck would have it the kittens were
placed in nest. The setting hen deserted
her nest, which was gladly taken possession
of by Mrs. Feline. There she proceeded to
care for her little ones, but unaware of the
fact that soon she might hatch little chick
to greet her gentle NEW with a chirp.
Presently one day the mother cat was sur
prised to find new child for nurture in her
peaceful home-lt was small chick. When
she approached her place of rest the little
one chirped and the cat mewed.
She thought it was a queer kitten.
but anyhow became satisfied with
it. In the afternoon she became possessed
- - No "HioPIiVu III HcI uusH-
erly ears that her new baby must have
something to eat, and so she went to the
kitchen door of Mr.. Smiths residence and
begged piteously for some bread. 1t was
given her and she proceeded at once TO feed
her new conner. The chick swallowed tn
bread in short order and by that time the
mother bad arrived with her mouth full of
water and instinct told the two-legged kit
ten to drink thereof. This was carried ON
several days until the chick and kittens had
grown large enough to ramble around. They
ali follow the mother now and the chick
seems to be the pet of all. 1t is growing
nicely and will be ready to eat on July 4th.
