There is no doubt that followers of the
heet-footed eoursers are among the most
enthusiastic OF spOrtsmen, and the reason is
obvious, because nearly every one IS directly
interested In the game as owner or trainer,
and consequently never misses point.
Prominent among the visitors yesterday
was big Joe MeAuliffe, who. next to fight
ing, loves nothing better than dog. There
was tremendous cheering wien p. J. cana
van announced in his stentoFian tones that
the mission Boy" would act as slipper next

YESTERDAY MEETING.
24-dog stake was run off yesterday and
some capital raciug was witnessed. The
hareS were strong aud numerous, anG
the dogs. it is admitted that some of the
speediest greyhounds in the United States
are owned in San Francisco Gas witness
the brilliant victories Of Cronin's and Vie
lands dogs at the International coursing
meet in Kansas last falD, and the pick of the
local basket spOrted coDors yesterday.
The Judging OF young John Grace was
never questioned. He is a worthy son of
worthy sire, his father being points the best
judge in America. The same remark ap-
plies TO young Ed Canavan, whose slipping
yesterday was marvel of deXteri;y and
fairness. There wasn't so much as kick
OF any kind against either the judging or
slipping.
After a close and exciting contest S. A
Cummins' grand fye-year-old blue anu
white dog PlaybOy carried off the stake,
beating I. Walton'S Quickstep in briilan;
style. Piayboy has won many prizes, hi
greatest performance being when he lande,.
the 64-d0g stake at Ocean View last Octo-
Der.
It's great pity he amt entered at Ma
dera on Tuesday" said that old reliable
Judge, Mark Deviin, med have showed the
way to most of them"
