Newark COursing Park.

An-Aged stake-A Good Spin by
the Puppies. q

ing into the country ior days outing, II
did not in any way deter the coursing men
from pursuing their favorite hobby. Fully
a hundred of them were to be seen at the
narro w-gauge ferry about O'clock, accom-
panied by their hounds, determined TO try
conclusions in the Newark Park with the
lODg-eared jacks kept by the Occidental
Club. There was scarcely a courSiHg man
that was not there, and every greyhound of
note from Chicopee Lass OF Kansas fame 10
the youngest aspirant for the honors Of the
leash was in the throng OF longtails.
Just as the boat was leaving drizzle of
rain began falling and judging by the heav-
lily charged clouds that were sneaking in
from the ocean IL was FLYER to an orange"
that the leashmeu were in for wet jackets.
But the old adage of the foggy morning
turning out a sunny day was verified 10 the
letter, for the crowd had scarcely reached
Newark before the sun peeped through the
cloud riffs and when the business of the day
commenced the glorious sunshine Of Cali
fornia poured down upon Hill and dale.
SLIPPING THE HOUNDS.
The officers of the club took their places
INN, diately. and CALIFORNIA; judge took
the saddle. 1t was evident though to all
that there was too much grass on the field
to allow of good coursng. especially as it
was heavy aud wet. However as there
thought better not 10 loss time ia trying to
remedy it. Then the first pair. j. j. Ed
monds' Peanut ana L. Z. PostalPS Country
Girl were handed TO the boss slipper Of the
country, James Wren.
After few moments the dogs were
slipped. and Peanut seemed 10 hold his own
for about a hundred yards, then County
Girl let cut ink or two and turned puss
wrenched again, killed and won.
j. a. PLIERS Eldridge Jr. and Z. Bvrne's
Clara were the next pair in slip. On be-
ing sent 10 their game Eldrldge shot out AT
once TO the front and shortly after turned,
but fell heavily, letting Clara Il in, but
he quickly came up again, ran right into his
game. killed and won.
i. }. Cr0nin's Jenny G and J. j. Rade-
makers Al FaITow were the next pair, but
the Latter dog was scarcely lit TO rum hay-
Ing got badly staked during the morning
While chasing a cat, and OF course he could
not hold his own with this smart little
bitch.
j. c. Talbot's Belle of Napa was no
match fol- J. j. Hunters Queen of the Val
ley. which easily defeated her i'll a short
course.
John Buckley's Tom Moore and J. J.
Hunters Chief Of the Valley were

Stanley bad sharp run TO the hare, Natty

the hare clrcIed some and FirenZi came up
with rush and made drive to kill, but

work the bitch had the best OF it and the flag
went up in Der favor.

moments they were again let loose in n
long slip. Chic0pee Lass simply ran away
with the course and won.
This finished the first round of tie all

peding the travelling powers of the tiares.
Lunch hour was then announced and as
II was frst-class one ample justice Was
done il by the sportsmen.
THE AFTERNOON SPORT
The warm sunshine and the fine breeze
that was now blowing had evidently a great
effect on the hares. for nearly all the courses
that were run after luncheon were of the
usual Newark eort-regular finshers.
For the second round Country Girl and
Eldridge opened the ball. They were slipped
to grand hare. Both dogs went crack
Ing pace, Country Girl having The best of it,
though EIdridge was close to her heels
throughout. The bitch eventually ran into
her game and killed, and when the men went
to pick upthe dogs Eidridge was found lying
dead, as we'll as the haTe-caused, no doubt,
by heart disease.

Tempest getting the flag eventually.
The next course was between T. J. Car

also divided between Young Jessie and
