FOR AND AGAINST.


Borsman's Ctiixsas Awitnted Over the
street Paving Quesiion.
Special Disratch To the standard.
BOWMAN. May 13.-1.nst night the city
council held lively and interesting meet
ing In tho city hall. The chief business
was the discussion Of the paving question.
For somc months the matter Of paving
three blocks Of Main street has been re-
ceiviug much favorable attention from
tho people Of the city generally.
Uf course. the owners OF property
abuttiiig Main street are not enthusiastic
for paving. for on thcm would como the
greater part OF the expense OF such i'm
provemcnt. These property owners were
out in force last night and presented their
side Of the question In q very forcihle
manner They are all Of the opinion that
nov IL very poor time for paving Main
street ns times are very hard. They
further say that all Of Main street should
he paved II q part In. Some of the speeches
were very warm and the accusations
made against the council were without
foundation and entirely out Of place.
While II Is understood that the council
favors paving ~ practical common sense
move. Il is not pledged to commence sucl,
improvements.
Mayor Ramsey, as an individual. is In
clincd. to favor paving and talked mosl
scnsibly on the benefits that would result,
from such permanent improvements. The
property owners introduced petition Ia
which tho owners Of 1.5O0 feet of the I .sOl
feet involved protested strongly against
paving.
When things werc becoming quite inter
esting Alderman Hiehsmith moved that
thashatter he referred to the street com
mittee and that COMMITTEES bring into
some later session plans aud estimates ol
cos, Of the proposed paving. The motion
was carried and thus the matter stands o,
present.

daughter of Tempete's. His color is
black, with little white around the neck.
Then comes T. j. Cronin's beautiful
white and fawn bitch Dolly Dimple, as
handsome as picture and as fleet as the
wind, who though only Is months old, has
a handsome stake to her credit and has
also got second and third in two other
stakes. She is undoubtedly the most
promising of the young stock. She is
splendidly bred. being by Dan OCOnnell
out of imported Lady Cleveland, the dam
of Nelly Bly,. Glen FarrOn aud other
noted greyhounds. That she will go to
the slips in the pink of perfection there is
no doubt, for Mr.. Cronin seldom or ever
sends one Of his dogs to the coursiDg field
in any other way.
And last comes Maondyne, the young
dog that last March, when only thirteen
months old. nearly upset the chances of the
great Skyrocket in the last meeting of the
Occidental Club at Newark. If this young
dog has improved with age most assuredly
he should be a dangerous opponent, and
there Is every reason to believe that he
has, for his trainer states that he
is fit and well. and that he
would not be bit afraid to
meet bis great relative with him ON the
eventful day. He is now somewhere about
twenty months old. He is BY Ell Rey out of
lertOn, and is the property Of d. j. Healy
Of Petauma. He is a light brindle 10
color and weighs about 56 pounds.

announced that the fever had reached
Texas, a club having been formed in
Texerkana in that State, with goodly
number of members and officers.
Many of those who are now taking an
interest IN cOursing in those States are
people Of wealth and good social position,
and 1t is not 100 much TO expect that within
very few years coursing, like horse
racing. will be in the front rank among
the spOrtsmen of that section OF the coun-
try. Indeed, the Eastern men have al
ready shown that they are in earnes. in
this matter. as witness their international
meeting held in South Dakota last month.
where the prizes offered amounted to
thousands of dollars. and were it not for
the commercial crash aud the stringency
OF money that just then occurred no doubt
the stakes would have filled up to the
highest expectations.
The success that has attended the snort
in The East Is no doubt due to the efforts
of j. Herbert Watson of New York. DIR.

at least are now reaping the benefit of
their eXertions, for at the internationa |
meeting at Huron, S. OAK, Mr.. loves

honors and dollars.

own, and after making considerable effort
to get some suitable locality at the south
end Of the city failed for the present in
obtaining the desired place, so they turned
their eyes to Newark and secured tem-
porarily that well-known park.
The club then took Immediate steps to
get everything in order, and gave out that
It would open the park on Thank sgiving
day with an open stake for alleged dogs
and puppy stake for members only, and
that at least S1U0 of the proceeds would be
handed over to the Midwinter Fair funds.
j. j. Edmonds has been at the head and
front of the movement from the beginning,
and from present appearances the forth
coming event promises to be one of the
greatest coursing meetings that has ever
taken place in The State.
1t is certain that all the great dogs in the
State will be entered The leashmen of
MERGED, Sacramento, Petaluma, San Jose,
Stockton and Santa Clara have all signi-
fed their intentions of making nomina-
tioDs. and, from calculations made during
the week, it is more than probable that
the number of dogs entered will run up to
seventy or eighty. Even far Australia will
be in the swiE with two promising dogs
which arrived here only month ago.
They are the property OF MIR. Lopez. the
gentleman who has brought from the Anti
podes during the last year some OF the
finest specimens of the Australian thor
oughbred horse.
OF course. the great cracks Of the cours-
Ing fields will be nominated for this
event. such as Skyrocket. Long Stop. Ban
Boy. Long John. Guile, Cane, Molly S and
others that have earned widespread fame
on the coursing fields of the State as well
as some of the young stock. If rumors
are all correct the cracks named will have
to look sharp or the laurels they have so
consistently earned may be snapped from
them by some of the young stock that are
now being trained for the Thanksgiving
day meeting.
The first Oh this list is James Grace's
handsome dog Rollalong, by Dan O'Con-
nell out of ROckIand Maid. He is black
and white in color and is now about 10
months old. He has already captured
16-dog puppy stake and has won one or
two private matches. BE has wonderful
dash of speed, and is also an excellent
worker and a more dangerous opponent
will not easily be found.
The next on the list is DR.. Proctor's (of
Petaluma) dog Blackstone. This dog has
not yet performed in public. but he has
done many trials that at all events have
satisfied his spirited owner that it will
take a good one to down him, and if he
should meet good hare, the doctor thinks
he can Outstay anything on four legs. He
is undoubtedly of good running and

goes without saying that both parks will
be crowded with sportsmen oD the day in
question.
The manager of the Ocean View Park
Is offering very flatteriDg monetary induce
mentS, which will, no doubt, be taken ad-
vantage OF by coursing men who take pride
In owing fast run ding stock.
The first prize is 500 and beautiful
clock valued at $50; the second prize is
$50. and the third $40.
Considerations of this kind should at
tract the attention of coursinS men from
all points, as it is not expected that men
can go to the expense of keeping and
training dogs unless the inducements
offered at race meetings are worthy of
attention.
1t is somewhat of an expensive under
taking to keep kennel of good dogs, and
man of moderate means cannot afford to
be the proud owner of frst-class stock I'M
less he derives from the winnings Of his
dogs sufficient compensation so as to
b ouse them, feed them and train them
properly. The drawing for the Ocean
View meeting on Thursday will be held
o-morrow evening at the Pacific Coursing
Clubs headquarters on O'Farrell street.
Entries are open to all. The nominators
will select the judge and slipper after the
drawing.

though coursing has been carried on IN
California with more or less success for
the last fifteen or twenty years, it is but of

HANDBALL.

Waiting for the Big Game.

In all probability few games of haDdball

patrons of athletic sport would journey to

pertinent and found that ii pays hand
somely. He says that during the winter
season there are five games played in his
court to the one that is played in summer
because the patrons OF baseball, rowing
ana other pasiines which are all the 60

ment during the winter that will please
them better than a well-con tested game Of
handball.

FOOTBALL.
The Association Game-Women Who
Are on the Kick.

Are on the Kick.
Weather permitting, there will be lots of
fun at Central Park to-day. Two football
games are annOun eed-the first between
the Fort Mason and Pastime Association
Football clubs and the second game will
be between the lady players. who have
been prac;icing for several weeks.
The Pastmes and Fort Masons should
and will doubtless put up good game,
as on present form the Pastimes should
about b old their own against the army
team. The soldiers are the more expe-
rienced eleven, and while they have sue
cumbed TO the better play of the Thstles
and Wanderers they should be able to re-
trieve themselves in their contest with
the Pastimes Captain Wilson, in charge
of the Fort Masons, has been drilling his
men in team work and combna alton play,
anticipating hard struggle. and will in
trOduce few new players to strengthen
his eleven.
The Pastimes have been putting in some
good practice work with the Rangers
eleven. and will enter the struggle with the
determination to win. A good contest NAV
be looked for. and as it is expected that
the game will be sufficiently close
throughout its duration, the football
prophets will be kept guessing for a WIN
ner. AT 9 o'clock the teams will line up
as follows:
