G. D. Brooke, who lives a half a mile
or so east of Oak park, has a fine trout
stream running through his land. A
couple Of days ago his pump threw ont
a trout several inches long, and Mr..
Brooke thinks he could have lots Of fun
bobbing for trout if he had an open
well reaching down to the trout stream
that flows beneath that locality.
There a DO no doubt that a subter-
ranean river Of considerable volume
runs through that gravel section, for a
few years ago w. l.. Willis, who lived
in the same neighborhood that Mr..
Brooke does, pumped up a number of
mountain trout. This stream seems to
run down toward the Costumes, as trout
Of good size have been taken from pumps
at Sheldon, many miles south of here.
This stream probably comes from Lake
Tahoe, that being the nearest mountain
lake Of sufficient capacity to keep up the
supply that is known to exist beneath
the surface in this vicinity. Scientists
have long been Of the belief that there is
a subterranean outlet to Lake Tahoe,
and as mono other has been discovered
it is reasonable to suppose that this may
be it. That it is not a mere pond, with
out source or exit, is evident from the
fact that the trout that have been pumped
up were without the peculiarities that
distinguish fishes taken from under
ground reservoirs or the waters Of deep
cayerns, and evidently had not long been
on the journey to this point.-Sacramen-

There was good days coursing at New
ark Yesterday. The weather was more
favorable thsn at Ocean View, and all the
dogs were in eXcellant trim. Long before
noon over three hundred members and
friends of the Occidental Coursing Club
were on the grounds, aud, with John Grace
Jr. acting in the capacity of judge and
James Wren as slipper, the sport COM
menced. The following were the results of
the contests:
Wildwood beat Peter jackson; Gle beat
Dan e.; Shortstop beat Salvador; Valley
Queen beat Gore; Sting beat John Mitchell;
Garry Owen beat Glenfarron; Skyroeket
beat Sir John; Judge Morrow beat Martin !;
Home Rule beat Valley Girl; Queen Bess
beat Vida Shaw.
In the second ties Shortstop beat Wild
wood, Valley Queen beat Gle, Sting beat
Garry Owen. SkyrOcket heat Home Rule and
Queen Bess beat Judge Morrow.
In the third ties the enthusiasm in the
sport got well under way. Valley Queen
started off by defeating Shortstop Queen
Bess had it nip and tuck with Sting, but
got the best OF it, and Skyrocket beat Dan c.
The fourth tie WAS hot one. Skyrocket
was matched with Queen Bess, in which the
former won. Valley Queen was tied with
Tierney and won easily.
The final was between SkvrOcket and
Valley Queen, with odds in favor of the
former. At the close hOnors were about
even, but Skyrocket was declared the
winner.

Great Coursing Matches Yesterday at
Ocean View and Newark in

and the water, no matter how much it
rains, has no chance TO gather in pools.
The bad weather. therefore. did not in
tertere with the hounds. which did not
mind the downpour. while the crowd was
sheltered by the grand stand.
A forty-dog stake had been arranged and
some good sport was expected. as so many
events do not generally happen at one time.
The hares seemed 10 be in their native ele-
ment as they bounded over The field and
gave considerable trouble TO the dogs be-
fore they were run down.
The result of the c9ursiDg for the day was
as follows: Jack Dempsey beat Clara 3.
Matte beat Maid of the Valley. Native Son
beat Mollie S, Whip beat Examiner. Jennie
beat Gypsy Queen, White Rustic beat

the heavy rain which would not allow the
