Local cOursing men are getting their
dogs into active training for the big In
ternatlonal meeting which opens at
Huron, S. OAK, on the 81 prox. The pro-
gramme has already been published in
The CALL.
H. McCracken states that among the
California greyhounds which will COM
pete at the International meet will be
Valley Queen, Vida Shaw. Longfellow,
Wee LaSsie and Joe McAulifTe all OF
which are we'll known to our readers.
Field Sports says: Three dogs from MeT-
ced and the renowned Skyrocket are sure
to be among the competitors for the big
event. We hope ID. j. Healy will send
Moondyne. the youngster by Ell Rey-
Eerdure that gave Skyrncket such close
call at Newark on May II. Moondyne was
then only II mouths old, and he should
stand an excellent chance of winning
puppy stakes at the different meetings. if
Mr.. Healy does not care to pit him against
all-age dogs.
Says the American Field: "a silly item
about California courslng club having
200 active members, who have sent chal-
lenge TO Australia 10 course sixteen dogs
against those of the Antip0des, and ex-
pect an answer every mall has been
going round among our Eastern contempt
rarles. 1t is the same old piece of business
that we knocked 4 hole through i'll our
Issue OF January IA. Before they clip
such stuff out of the San Francisco dailies
and reprint 1t as gospel truth they should
write to some reputable coursing men on
the racine Coast for information"
