HARE And HOUNDS.
A Poor Days Sport at the Ocean
View COursing Park.
Weak Hares and Lots of Wind, Dust and
Fog SPOIL the Fun = A Prize With
a String on 1t.

The Pacific Coast Coursing Club held their
second meeting at Ocean View Yesterday.
The stake was tor 50 dogs at S. each, to
which the club added 500 and T. f. Cana
van added French CLOCK, said to be worth
$50. But 10 this latter there is a string at
tached, as it must be won three times by
the same kennel before it becomes the prop
erty of any one in particular except Mr..
Caravan.
The day was singularly disagreeable, wind
and dust driving at furious rate UP to
about P. N, when the heavy sheets of fog
rolled in from the ocean and eventually
turned into thick mist which completely
shut out all view of the coursing from the
few who remained to see the finish.
PLENTY OF SURPRISES.
Many Of the best dogs were engaged in
the stake and, as usual in coursing, there
were many unexpected upsets.
Mark Davlin officiated as judge and j.
Caravan as slipper Some of the hares ran
WELL but the great majority of them gave
very poor sport. Mr.. Devlin's judging was
not by any means faultless and in some In
stances, particularly in the three unde-
cideds between Quicksilver and Sacramento
Belle, in the course between So So and
Kathleen and also in the first course be-
tween Firenzi ana Katherine Hayes in the
third round, he was strangely at fault; but
in ali the others his decisions were very
satisfactory.
