cation to learn that the criminal was

CHASING THE HAREs.
Courslng Matches at Ocean View and

Newark.
SAN FRANCISCO, March I9.-Rain came
down in torrents at Ocean View to-day,
but it did not interfere with the stake
races of the Pacific Coursing Club. 4
forty-dog stake had been arranged, and
some good sport was expected. The
hares seemed to be in their native ele-
ment as they bounded over the field, and
they gave considerable trouble to the
dogs. The results of the coursing for the
day was as follows:
Jack Dempsey beat Clara B.; Matte
beat Maid OF the Valley; Native Son beat
Molhe S.; Whip beat Examiner; Jennie
G. beat Gypsy Queen; White Rustic beat

beat Paddy Slavin; Nellie Gray beat
Black bird; Niger beat Happy Jack;
Lady Freestone beat Snowflake; Dictator
beat Follow on; Captain beat Pride OF
the Village; w. H. beat Brook; key
beat Sierra.
Owing to the frequent Interruptions by
heavy rain, which would not allow the
slippers to place the hounds, it was night
time before the matches were run, so it
was decided to postpone running OIL the
ties until next Sunday.
There was good days eoursing at
Newark to-day. The weather was more
| favorable than at Ocean View. Long be-
fore noon over three hundred members
and friends Of
Club were on the grounds. The follow
ing were the results of the contests:
Wildwood beat Peter Jackson; Gle
beat Dan c.; Shortstop beat Salvador;
Valley Queen beat Gore; Sting beat John
Mitchell; Garryowen beat Glenlarron:

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 Garryowen; Skyrocket beat Home
Rule, and Queen Bess beat Judge Nor
row.
In the third ties the enthusiasm in the
sport got well under way. Valley Queen
started of by defeating Shortstop; Queen
Bess had it nip and tuck with Sting, but
got the best Of it, and Slyrocket beat
Dan 9.
The fourth tie was a hot one. Sky
rocket was matched with Queen Bess, in
which the former won. Valley Queen
was tied with Tierney, and wen easily.
The final was between Skyrocket and
Valley Queen, with odds in favor of the
former. At the close the honors were
about even, but Skyrocket was declared
the winner.

Australian pugilist, found his match.
Just after midnight last night he tried TO
fight several cabmen in front of the Holt
man House, with the result that he is

and Billy Edwards stopped the pugilist
and told him the bar was closed Hall
went back to where the cab was standing,
pulled the cabman from his seat, and be-
gan to use him as punching bag. Other
cabmen in the neighborhood rallied to
their unfortunate brothers. defense in
numbers and determination, and to the
discomfort of Hall, who was thrown
down, kicked and punched by the en-
ragged cabmen until he cried. Bleeding
and by this time sober, the late victim of

John d. Scudder of the Jersey City Tab
ernacle preached on the subject of paroch-
ial schools in connection with the bill re-
Gently introduced in the New Jersey Leg
lslature. In part he said: "The public
school is the foundation of American lib
erty, and any man who tries to under
mine it is traitor to the country and an
enemy of free people. Our system of
education is the pride and glory of the
nation, and every loyal American citizen
will uphold it with all the energy of his
being. To surrender our national birth
right to sectarian prejudice or compro-
mise with insiduous priesthood. would be
the hight of cowardice and the forerun-
ner OF oppression. L am glad to see this
issue coming to the front so rapidly. We
might as well settle it now for once and
all, and save an endless amount of bitter
ness and sectarian strife"
