COURSiNG.
A New Park and New Hounds Will
Come With the New Year.

This Is the season when coursing should be
In full blast, and certainly with the Inaugural
ton OF new park not far distant from this
city the patrons OF the leash should be getting
ready for some great racing between the long
and short tail sprlnters.
The following letter to the sporting editor is
ef.explanatory: 81 see by last Mondays CALL

The finish up of the Christmas cup today at
Ocean View Park Will undoubtedly cause some
hne coursing contests. There should be a great
spin between Bonnie Lass and Stamboul Queen.
Maggie M and Kingston, LOngfellOW and
Brophy. and TO say which of these will see the
finish would be a very hazardous guess with.
out the mention OF MIR. Perigo's handsome
clipper, Wee Lasse.

that some of them Will turn out flyers there can
scarcely be doubt. There is no dog in the
country of purer blood Than WarataL and on

Martin kerrigan, who has been running the
Ocean View Coursing Park during the last six
or seven weeks, has leased a large piece of
land opposite Cypress Lawn cemetery and he
Is now busy putting 1t In order for coursing
purposes. he grounds are partially fenced
IN, and Mr.. Kerrigan is setting strong gang
OF fencers and carpenters TO work, so as to
have the whole thing complete by the second
Sunday IN February. The field is admIrably
suited for coursing purposes, the soil being OF
rlch black sandy formation well covered with
grass. so that dog can run on it all through
The year Without taking any risk of being in
Jnred. The extent of the field is 1900 yards by
300. This VIII give great room for dogs and
mares TO test both their speed and staying quail

AS these dogs were sized by Royal Crest. the
owner OF the latter dog was anxious to have
one or TWO of them go into the first American

matter.
MIR. Watson could scarcely have made
better selection. and II Royal Buck goes to the
slips In the Waterloo cup In as good a condi-

safe TO say that the dog that can down him will
surely come out close up to the finish IL not the
actual hnisher Of the big stake.
