The Society for the Prevention of
Cruelty to Animals had a rat-killing match
nipped in the bud few evenings ago at a
prominent sporting resort on LeideSdOrff
street, and the gentlemen" who were
caught as abettOrs of the brutal" sport
were fined S. each on Friday last. 1t is
hoped that the good society will carry the
chase farther and visit some of the in
closed coursing parks where hares. that
are at this season of the year breeding or
raising their young, fall victims to grey
hounds that make short work ofethe little
game animals. This is the only State in
the Union where cOursing is allowed at a
time of year when the game animals
should be protected.
