But Free ffunt With Hounds Over
Hills Gave Excitement.
Notwithstanding the announcement that
there would be no couTsing at Ocean View
a large crowd gathered there as usual, and
were much disappointed when they learned
that the stake runs had been postponed
The cause of this was the escape Of Pat
Canavan's hares on Friday from the corral
A herd Of cows wandered in its direction,
and on a stampede broke about one hun
dred and fifty feet Of the escapes. The hares
soon learned that there was an opening,
and soon became as flee as on their nativs
heath by scampering over the hills in all
directions.
Pat Caravan telegraphed for more hares
from MERGED, aud they were promised him,
but did not arrive at all. Therefore it was
necessary to pustpOne the run.
The crowd, however, clamOred for some
sport, and party of boys were sent over
the hills to seeif they could not capture
some of the frisky little animals. A prizs
of 81 30 was offered for each hare. The
stimulus of the reward induced number
OF boys 20 try their luck, and few of the
were successful
So a match was arranged between Pride
OF the Park and HONEYMOON. After the
dogs lett the slips the race was an even one,

a fire match was then started between
Whip and Dark Rustic. This was expected
to prove the event of the day. The first
course was an undecided one, but when it
came to run the dogs again not a hare could
be obtained Tor love or money. The boys
searched and searched, but without result
So the contest was declared off.
Still the crowd wanted to see caursing

selves into the second, and the ten musi-

Then they started along Market street
and the strangers began TO see the town.
Everything they SAW was entirely new to
them and an inexhauatible source Of aston
ishment.
They are highly educated neu In their
own country and bad read of countless
wonders in the lands beyond the sea; but
tnelr imagination had been unequal To the
task of forming any idea of the vast sur
prises in store for them.
The tall buildings were a constant theme
for wonder and they expressed their sur
prise at the fact Of their not topping over
into the street. But the cable and electric
cars were what tickled them most They
could not imagine how it was possible for
them to move along rapidly without horses
to pull fem or visible motive power.
They were driven all through the park
and shown every object of interest. They
were perhaps greater objects of curiosity to
the crowds ont at the park than the various
sights were to them Eager sighr-seers
crowded and pressed around them when
ever they stopped for few moments.
Near the music stand, where their car
riages halted to allow them an opportunity
to draw COMPARISONS between Eastern and
Western Tusic, they were almost mobbed
by the people, who deserted the enclosure
to get look at them.
After the park was exhausted they were
driven out TO the Cliff House. where they
were much entertained with the view, the
seals and the grounds of Sutro Heights.
