The morning call., 1893-07-31

jim Wren came over to act as slipper, as
of yOre, and there were welcome faces to
be found everywhere. 1t was pleasant
journey down and on arrival at Newark
no time was lost in proceeding to the
courSing ground. where the hares lay
buried. most taking the welcome shelter
OF the fences, for the sun beat hot upon
the earth.
The principal event was a siXteen-dog
stake. open 10 all corners of all ages. and
tie whole days proceedings were devoted
to the benefit Of one John Dugan. mine
host of the Newark Hotel, a gOodly man
ana an enthusiastic courser o. MANY yeai
standing. James r. Dickson, another old
cOurser, consented to act as slip steward.
and Jerry O'Sbea nimbly welded the flags.
The first two dogs were put in the slips
shortly after 10 o'clock. Every sportsman
had his favorIte, and Patrick Canavan, OF
Ocean View fame. was there as poolseller.
accommodating the layers and takers OF
odds on the individual courses with a
suavity not to be attributed TO the modest
percentage he charged for these favors.
All went well. John Grace judged with
the accuracy for which he has been famed
for many years, and although one or TWO
close decisions were found fault with. yet
it was always noticed that there was a
division of opinion on these points. the
winners ridfculing the idea that any other
conclusion could have been arrived at by
any sane man. while the losers shook their
heads obviously. a-mutiered in their boards
all sorts of 'ifs and ands< ad lib.
All the dogs entered came from San
Francisco save two. who were imported
from San Jose. These were Twilight and
Eureka, mother and daughter. by the way,
and the former, fast and fairly clever
black slut. succeeded in running mp to the
winner Nellie Bly,. The principal events
