Good Sport VIII Be Had at Newark Next
Season.
The Occidental Coursing Club will make
very extensive Improvements in its coursing
demesne at Newark next year. The club
has recently been strengthened by new
members who are very enthusiastic. The
outlook for a grand seasons inclosed
coursln2 is quite promising.
There will be several match races run off
at Ocean View to-day.
The following copy Of a letter published
in the Forest and Stream of June from j.
Il. Watson of Brooklyn. New York. will
interest the fraternity of this coast, and
John Grace, the popular Judge of coursing,
in particular.
Relative to the Chicopee Lass-Pearl of
Pekin controversy Mr. Watson writes:
There Is phase of this case which out of jus.
tce TO Mr.. John Grace mist be brought to the al
tenton OF kennel editors and others. It seems
to have ben assumed that tile decision of the
course 10 favor of ChcOpee Lass by Mr.. Grace
was wrong. and that Mr.. Grace's only excuse
ness the collision. You aud others speak OF the
decision OF Mr.. Grace being reversed" MIR.
Greene OF Colorado wrote 4 letter last fan 10
luFi tleid ana / arm In which he asserted that
the judge should have a. once given his decision
10 favor OF Pearl OF PekiB.
Inc kennel writer's have perhaps been mised
by Mr.. Greene, knowing that he judged lie
meeting at Great Bend some years since and
should be well Informed as 10 rules OF cOurSng,
OUT LOT VT. UI6GDe himself tueT6 Is no excuse,
and be owes 10 MIR. John Grace an apology.
Mr.. Greene's assertion that the decision OF tie
judge should have been given 10 Pearl OF Pekin
Is contrary 10 the rule and would give to the
judge powers that are expressly granted TO the
committee The duty Of The judge Is 10 decide
the course according TO points, ana there his
duty ends. Mr.. Grace decided that ChicOpee
Lass won The course simply because she mad out
scored Pearl of PekIn.
Rule 30 very plainly required that the protest
OF Mr.. BaTielS should be sustained by the COM
mittee, but with that part of the subject Mr.
Grace had nothing 10 do. The statement that
the decision OF MIR. Grace has been reversed"
is likely TO place Mr.. Grace in a false light.
The rule referred to BY Mr. Watson reads:
II any subscriber or his servant shall ride over
his opponents greyhound while running course
the owner of the dog so ridden over shall,
although the course be given against him, be
deemed lie winner OF IL. or shall have the option
Of allowing the dog TO remain and run out the
stalk and In such case shall be entitled to half
It's winning.
An exchange says:
1t is very probable that Mr.. L. c. whiton's
greyhound bitch, Spluaway. VIII again cross the
Atlantic 10 visit the greaI Fullerton or, In the
event OF Mr.. Mortimer fulfilling his commission
to buy good bitch over there for Mr.. Wilton
and have her bred to the Waterloo winner, Spiu-
away may be sent over to run in some OF the fall
meetings under Mr.. Dents pilOtage At the
same time we think that greyhound men in the
East would be better pleased 10 see Mr.. Wilton
send bis bitch 10 Great Bend or MERGED, where
hOnors far more pleasing TO an American breeder
await q sDeedV and clever pIeVhOuDd
