A PIANO RECITAL.
Given by Twelve Pupils of Edward
EnhfaId

The Invitation piano recital on Friday even
ing by pupils of Edward Hohfeld drew large
number of friends of the performers 10 the
Maple Hall in the Palace Hotel.
There were twelve numbers on the pro-
gramme, and, though the manner In which they
were rendered did not display any extra
ordinary virtuoslty on the part of the pupils
the whole twelve numb RS were played In a
style thai showed the performers to be de.
cid dly above the average of amateur pianists
Miss Lolita Rodgers was the greatest favorite
with the audience, her two numbers,
GOttsehalk's "PasQuinade Caprice" and LiSzt's
transcription OF airs from "RgOettO," both
being encOred. Particularly in Tue latter diff
Gull selection Miss Rodgers showed brillancy

good reception. His playing was very praise
worthy, particularly in the alegretto move

Another interesting number was the PLAYING
OF the Kullak- Nehle "I'Etole du Moro, on two
pianos by Miss Gertrude THOMPSON and Mrs
HObfeld. This performance was marked by
perfect unanlmity as TO tempo between the
players and by artistic phrasing.

COURSING.
Good Sport at Ocean View Park
TO.Day

The patrons of the grand old sport of
coursing should feel as if they were at
home this weather. 1t is just such weather
that answers the sport most admirably
The old saying that nothing can stop a
March hare will now be repeated, as the
cold snap of the past few days must
remind many leashmen of the good old
times many of them had in past years on
English or Irish soil.
IL is during days when the north winds
sweep the plains that hares delight to
lead their pursners merry jog over miles
of country. The dry food keeps the little
filters" in good condition for long dis
lance racing, and as coursing men are
aware 10 bowl over a hare at this
season of the year dogs must be properly
trained for the race, otherwise Mr.. jack
rabbit will have little difficulty in opening
up a big gap between himself and his
purSuerS.
According to the racing that took place
last Sunday at Ocean View Park the Pa
cifc Coast COursng Club can assuredly
count upon great days sport to-day.
The hares are ready for their opponents,
and as one of the clubmen remarked yes
terday, MY money will go on the hare
every time, it proves what the racing will
| be to-day.
There is no doubt that large crowd
will be on hand to witness the contests,
which should be we'll worth seeing. pro-
vided that the dogs are properly trained
for runs, the majority of which will GER

FOOTBALL.
The Soldier Boys Are Proud of Their
Recent Victory.

NNSNht
The Fort Mason army team are still
keeping up their winning record and
crowned all their previous Efforts by de-
feating the Rangers team by the lopsded
score of eight goals TO nothing. This is the
seveTest drubbing that has been admins
tered 10 any of the league teams since the
opening OF the season.
The Rangers should reorganize their
team and place Neeson at fullback, where
he always plays an effective game.
McCracken's absence was noticeable in
the Rangers play and their forward divi-
sion was clearly too slow fer the speedy
young men from Fort Mason.
Captain Wilson has now got his army
aggregation in fine playing form, and il
will surprise nobody if they not only
again defeat the Wanderers in the next
round. but add TO their list of victories the
champion Thstles.
Kilbey and Hanley played a brilliant
game al back for the fort team. and their
efforts eQualed such cracks as Reynolds
and Tierney of the Thistles. The only
fault TO be found with the army backs is
that Haley is inclined To sky the bail,
which is a dangerous practice when an
opposing team Is crowding around the
goal.
The forward division of the army team
played with great cash. and the only fault
discernihle was Harrison's play. which at
various critical PERIODS 10 the game was
erratic and lacked judgment.
The Pacific Association League teams
will in future play their schedule games at

Mr.. Hallet has been placed on the members
