INTERSTATE C0URSING.
Great Preparations for the Coursing
Meet Derced.

Oreat FropHrh1ons for the COursng
Meet at Merced.
The Interstate coursing meeting which
commences at Merced on the 18th inst.
promises to be great affair and will in all
probability be the most extensive meeting
that has yet taken place in any part Of the
country. Several of the Eastern dogs that
took part in the meeting last week at Great
Bend. Kans.. are now on their way to the
coast and will probably reach Merced to-
day, 80 that they will have ample time to
recruit after their long journey ana be in
fine condition to meet the California dogs
OIL the famous plains.
That they may meet with success is surely
the wish OF every coursing man in Cali
fornia.
The long pending question about Chico
pee Lass and Pearl OF Pekin has at length
been settled in favor of the former. 1t will
be remembered that when Mr.. Cronin's
bitch ChicOpee Lass and Mr.. Bartells
bitch Pearl of Pekin were running in the
final course last year for the American cup
at Great Bend, Mr.. Edmonds of this city,
who was running Chicopee Lass in the
meeting association, came into collision
with the Pearl Of Pekin, and so interfered
with her chance of winning that her owner.
Mr.. Barteli, claimed the stakes under the
rule referring to accidents of the kind.
For some reason or another the stewards
Of the meeting postponed their decision

grounds the decision was given has not yet

The following dogs, which have remained
TO finish the siXty.fOur dog stake, will run
on Sunday at Ocean View for the prizes that
have been offered by the manager of the
park for competition, viz:

son, Mountain Hare VS.. Depend-on-M Me,
Mollie II VS.. Skvrocket. Commassie vs.
Judge Morrow, Speculation VS.. Shortstop,
Pennyroyal VS.. Chief of the Valley, Jack
Dempsey VS.. Tom Moore.
The manager of the park has postponed
the ODonnei stake until Sunday week as
he thinks the big stake will occupy the entire
day. The drawing for the ODonneil stak e
will take place on Friday next at Corbett's,
and owners of dogs living at San Jose can
prepare for Sunday, the 18th iast.

A QUEER DRYING-PLACE.
Chinese Pave Brenham Place With Their
ODD Daintfes.

The little China boys that come down to
Brenham place to kick the light battledore
game did not play their game yesterday.
Another little group of Chinese urchins
that stood about on that ancient thorough
fare looked sad and disconsolate. These
were the little top-players. who can be
seen most any day winding their tops with
their tongues out and their heads on side
in imitation of the "Melican boy"
The sound OF the hoof-beat was stilled,
and where yesterday the horse trod to-day
the way was Uttered with eatables.
The cauee Of this suspension of business
on Brenham place was the fire of last wee K
in Chinatown.
During that exciting event there was a
vast amount of food consumed by the
flames, for which IL was never packe r
intended
But despite the feroeity Of the fire there
was still a number of boxes that received
nothing more than thorough smoking
and a thorough wettlng.
One of the burned-0ut firms, IN willing
to sacrifice anything that could be made
perfect again, has undertaken the work of
drying and reelaiming the damag ed food.
As there is no roof In Chinatown clean
enough and as backyards are unknown,
this level spot in the middle of the street
was ueclded upon as the most available
basis of operations. Before Chinatown was
astir the workmen OF the contracting firm
made coup d'etat on the public thor ough-
fare. spread out their wares and when the
population began its morning prom enade
they were surprised TO see the alleyway car
peted with a single layer of Chinese
dainties, laid out in so many varlously hued
squares and little patches that riYaled the
meadows in French landscape.
There was moldy-looking seaweed, a sea-
green variety Of the same food. some dun
brown kelp and one square of mushrooms,
blackened 10 a turn. These, with some
dried sharks, many of which were labeled
with red Chinese characters, some uncanny.

the bulk of this choice layout.

of which the ink had run in an artistic way,
were piled about 70 give color to the
scene.

A Cause Of chIcauo,s Greatness.

No one doubts that the architectural
excellence, and probably much OF its
growth, may be attributed to the great
fire, which wiped out old mistakes,
opened free field and gave the town a
colossal advertisement. The fire itself
will always fill thrilling chapter in
the cityis history. The wreck, the
fury, the ruin, the confusion of that
undreamed-of good, in fact the great
fire OF. 1871 made the Chicago OF to-day
a possibility. The new and really Won
derful reproduction OF the scenes and
incidents OF the great FIRE as shown by
the Cyclorama OF the Chicago fire, tells
the immortal story of the burning of
the city than could be done by a whole
library OF books. II is one Of the chief
attractions Of the Worlds Fair city.
No one can afford to miss it.
