The dark dog that has so long been kept in

MIR. Ternan. the most astute OF all the leash

The English Waterloo cup which is great
event among English coGrsers. and, indeed
among cOursers The world over. was finished on
the famous Altcar plains, near Liverpool, Feb
ruary &c. On this occasion Texture was the
winner. This dog was by The celebrated Her
schel, now, since the death Of GreenIick, the
most fashionable sire In England. Texture, IL
VIII be remembered. was among the last four

The NTH round by the ultimate winner, Charac-

Texture, was some OF the greatest dogs Of his
DAY in England. having won many of the classic
courslHg meetings OF the country. and finished
up his career In The field by dividing the Wafer
loo cup Of 1887 with the great dog Greater
Scott.

sunday the hares ran In great fettle and the
lovers of sport look forward TO grand meeting
