COURSING IN THE DARK.
The Dog-Stake at Ocean
View Was Unfinished.
LIVELY RIOT TOOK PLACE.
Some Great coursing by Fleet Greyhounds
After the Fastest and Speediest Hares
Seen Lately.

The Pacific Coursing Club gave another
of its tbiIty-two dog stakes yesterday at
Ocean View. The weather was simply de-
lightful. and not only did the dogs entered
comprise the pick of the local kennels, but
the hares were the fastest and strongest
ever seen at the local coursipg park.
The racing commenced at ii o'clock in
the morning and the ball was kept rolling
merrily all the time, but Notwithstanding
this the last two courses were run off in the
fast deepening dusk, and it was wonderful,
indeed, IL the dogs could even see long
slipped hare, lei alone the judge follow the
points of course. The stake therefore was
left unfinished and the following dogs
are still in the fight: Garryowen, Nc
Kinney, Jennie G, Bah Of the Booster
and William OBrien. 1t was suggested
that the stake be divided between the five,
but the majority Of the owners objected and
the concluding courses win be run off next
Saturday at 2 80 o'clock.
M. w. Kerrigan proved himself to be an
efficient judge, although when the favorite,
Jennie G. met Stranger in the first ties, the
majority OF the spectators were of the opin-
ion that the latter had won-still the Judge
can always tell better than the spectators
Jennie q ruled hot favorite all the after
porter by running into the last four. Specu-
latiOn was very lively ali the afternoon, the
pools and books taking in barrel of money.
The proprietor Of the park, L. j. Cana
van. has great deal of difficulty in keeping
out people from the Enclosure. Many seem
to delight in taking advan tage of the gate
keeper, getting in on the grounds. where
their presence not only spoils the sport. but
1ncites other unruly characters to make the
attempt TO get inside ana follow the dogs in
hair ia
upon several men, who had forced
themselves through the gate, to come
back. They refused, and Caravan, jump
ing out of the poolbox, went into the park
after them. They made combined attack
upon him. Very soon there were q hundred
or more people upon the ground, shouting.
gesticulating, bowling and fighting. One
man was punched into iusensibllity, and
then the crowd gradually broke up and re-
tired into the grand-stand inclosure; the
disturbance, which at one time promised 10
be serious. quieted down, and the coursiDg
again went on smoothly.
