Washington, following one of the stated
professional reunions, and at this meeting

caused the doctors, when sitting in formal
counsel, to disagree radically and hope

world. Some said it was a simple case of
hydrOcephalus, but this was doubted by
others, as the indications present in the
case did not tally with the elemental prin-
cples of the ailment or infrmity as set
down in the books.
There was a rather hot discussion as it
grew apace. and it ended IN some kind of n
wager. the precise terms Of which have

Merced WIN Give Big Inducements for
Meeting Next Season.
Tommy Hall, the well-known supporter
and lover OF coursing, has written from
MERGED to a friend that the people Of the
city on the plains will give purse of $1,000
for a meeting next season open TO the
world; that is, provided John Grace
will guarantee the sportsmen of Merced
that he will be on hand to judge the races
1t is too bad that cOursing in this State
has received such decidedly black eve in
the past by corrupt judges as to cause all
lovers of the grand old sport to look at with
suspicion any meeting that Is not judged by
Mr.. Grace.
The MADEIRA sportsmeu gave very excel
lent monetary inducements last year to the
lovers and supporters OF the leash to run
their dogs at a meeting held under the aus
pieces OF the MADEIRA Coursing Club, and
what was the result?
The meeting terminated in a miserable
failure, owing TO decisions which would
make the famous Michael Feeney blush for
shame Immediately following the meeting
the club decided TO give no future meetings
unless 1t could thoroughly rely upon having
Judge in the saddle who was both com pc
tent to decide race and honest In his con-
yicliOns.
DIR. Irwin Royce of Topeka, Kane., has
written long letter to Judge Grace on
Eastern coursng matters. The doctor is

of America, and above all animals he loves

physicians who were engaged in the contro-
versy, and in return the physicians, all be-
ing men OF some wealth, were tn maintain
him on a stipulated allowance as long as he
lived.
1t was calculated that the queer subject of
the discussion could not survive longer than
five years at the utmost. His health was
not robust, and hydrocephaluS rarely, if
ever, lets its victim get beyond the Adde'S
cent stage of life. But one of the doctors
believed the man had double BRAIN and
said that hydr0cephaius had nothing to do
with IL. There were certain features of the
case which seemed 10 point to that cOnclu-
sion. And so the controversy wagrd. and
so the bargain was made by the three doc
tors which was to settle 1t.
There was only ono point on which all the
doctors agreed. That was that Parker was
not likely to hang on long. whatever might
be the trouble. 1t was evident that his frail
little body could not keep such a big read
going many years, and perhaps not many
months. Regulations were staked on this.
and others were 10 be made on the flnal out

doctors were not as big as Parker's, but
they were. In their own estimation at least,
a good deal wiser.

Recorder man that he expected to sing at
