THE INTERSTATE MEETING
Fifty Picked Dogs Enter the
Lists at Newark.
A GRAND DAY FOR THE SPORT
Lively Work at Ocean View, the
Sharp Air Speeding Both the
PursuerS and Pursued.

The San Francisco Coursiug Club had q
great day at Newark yesterday. The
weather was simply glorious and the hares
ran very strong. The grounds of the park
weie in perfect trim and everything wen
like clockwork. Such a days sport has
not been seen for some time.
Every leashman Of note in the State was
present MERGED. Sacramento, Napa, San
Jose, Santa Clara, Port Costa, Haywards
Oakland and, Of course, San Francisco al
had sent their quota of dogs and sports
men.
The occasion WAS the Interstate meeting
which has hitherto been held at MERGED
Fifty of the picked dogs of the State en-
tered, and the crowd that gathered at the
narrow-gauge ferry yesterday morning
was certainly the largest that has yet been
seen on its way to Newark.
Mr.. Grace was in the saddle aud Mr..
Wren handled the slips, and, IL is almost
needless to add, that their work as usual
was perfect.
There were rep sentative dogs from all
Quarters-Englaud. Australia and the Easl /
ern States-but the old California stock
more than held its own against all corners.
and ii Is almost certain that they will see
the finish of the stake.
There were some great trials, great
triumphs and great disappOiDtments. Dur
ing the day there were thirty-fonr regular
courses and six undecided ones. The most
BEAUTIFUL course If the day was that be-
tween Byrne's Occidental and Reilly's
Rollalong. the former winning. aud the
most surprising one was The tall of little
Banshee before Maggie NJ. Another big
DISAPPOINTMENT was ShanDon's young dog
Flashlight in his course with Frisco Boy.
Byrne's good old bitch Nelly Bly, made a
wonderful fight with the great Skyrocket,
he just snatching the victory from her by a
singularly clever kill.
O'Shea's Peerless was another young
dog that showed up well and in all prob
ability will be as good as his sister,
FirenZi. He gave Eagan's Exlex a great
thras ing. But Eagan mas another dog,
Regent, that upheld the honor of the ken
mel in decided manner by putting down
Bess and Noun ain Hare. Buckey's
Garryowen showed up we'll and holds his
place YET in the stake. Kerrigan's Dash
away showed a wonderful dash of speed,
literally smothering his opponent, Waffle
Bloom. Perrigo's Wee Lassie won a
pretty course from Dexter, and White
Cloud upset Longfellow fairly aud well.
Roche's John Mitchell gave Edmond's
Vida Shaw a merciless thrashing to the
establishment of all, and Barney T upset
another great thing by his clever kill, aud
through il caused the downfall of Molly S
OF MERGED fame.
Depend Ga Me ran good course with Dan
G, the latter having the best of the run up,
but after that the black-and- white had the
best of it and won. Another fine course
was that between the Sacramento dog Gle
ana Eugene Geary's dog Electric. 1t was
fought out inch by inch from the bottom to
the top of the field. Gle getting the flag
after desperate tuNsle.
In the second round Care upset pot by
his defeat of Marvellous. as did Occidental
in his hollow defeat of Dolly Dimple.
Tiernan's Long John had a fine run with
Lopez Waratah. and so close was the
work that when the hare fell both dogs
were equal and had 20 60 to slips again,
when Long John won the course.
There could not have been less than 400
present. all of whom enjoyed themselves
