HARES And HOUNDS.
Successful Issue of the Golden
West Meet.
A Large Crowd Witnesses the Coursine at
Ocean View-Wizard Wins the All-Agsa
Stake Handily.

One of the biggest crowds ever seen at
Ocean View was attracted thither yesterday
TO witness the spring meeting of the Golden
West Coursing Club. 1t was estimated that
at least $50 people were present.
The officers Of the club are: James Sulli-
van, president; David Dillon, vice-presi-
dent; Eugene Geary, secretary, and NJ
Tiernan treasurer. The field ste ards yes
terday were David Dillon. Archie Merrill
and j. r. Edmonds; slipper. p. Brophy |;
slip steward. W. Halpin; flag steward, Tom
Brady. and the judge, John Grace Jr. The
decisions Of the latter were marked with
that characteristic fairness which has al
ways distinguished the efforts of his father
in the coursing field, and his knowledge of
the sport was frequently tested during the
days racing. For instance. in the opening
course OF the puppy stakes so closely did
the dog s Comassie and Peanuts work that
three dead heats were run before decision
was arrived ar, and Judgment Of no mean
order was required TO arrive at just con-
clusion.
In addition to the puppy stake an eighteen
all-aged dog stake was run through. and
although the hares might have been
stronger and faster, IL must not be over
looked that some of the fastest dogs In CALI
fornia were slipped, including Chicopee
Lass, the winner OF Americas champion
stake at Kansas last fall. Z. Kerrigen has
a wonderful dog I'm Chicopee, he Is only II
months old and therefore entitled TO run in
the puppy class. His owner, however, ran
him in the alleged stake, and although he
was beaten in the second ties by Wizard,
the ultimate winner of the purse, challenge
was issued to run him against any other
dog of his age in the State for $500 side.
Owing to the epgthy programme it was
dusk before Vixen won the final in the ALL
aged stake and here being three left in the
puppy stake 1t will be concluded next Sun
day. IL was great day for the shOrtenders.
Following are the details OF tho days
