COURSlNG.
Racing at Ocean View Park-The
Waterloo Cup.

Weather permitting, there should be great
coursing at Ocean View Park to-day Fltty-two
dogs have been selected TO run for valuable
prizes, and it goes without saying that there
viii be very little time lift for speculation,
that is, provided the programme will be carried
out to-day. Whateveroqualtles the dogs which
h We been entered for the courses possess,
there is one thing certain that unless the long
tails are fast travellers there will not be many
hares Injured. The latter are In great running
trim, and 1t Will need better material than
the ordinary or everyday" dog to stop
the Jacks. from entering the escapes. Ger
tainly there should be some good hounds among
the number booked 10 compete to-day, and as
a matter OF course number OF grueling
courses may be expected.
