COURSING.
Some Dogs That Will Be Seen at
MERGED Next Month.

News from MERGED says that the leasEmen OF
the plains now all hard at work getting
their lOngtals in condition for the forthcoming
meeting.
Tommy Hall especially. our informant says,
Is making great efforts. Night and morning he
Is 10 be seen exercising bis favorIteS, and so
thoroughly Is he preparing them that they are
said 10 be in the best condition of any dogs in
the STATE, and the "ever-green" Tommy says
that whoever comes 20 meet them they should
not forget to bring the sack" too, as lie
Delleves that nothing short of an electric dog
can pace u With one or Two that are now In his
kennel.
McInerney is another MERGED gentleman that
owns few lOuglails that he thinks can 90 the
pace, TOO, and though they may not exactly be
such electrical machines as Mr.. Hairs scut-
catchers he Is willing 10 put down few dimes
tnat there Is not jackrabbit on the plains that
can aHord 10 run on three legs in from OF them
for much OF a distance, and lie Is willing to bet
Inc cigars that Tommy Halls "any other
mans" dogs are not BILE TO get first turn from
auy OF his nominations,
j. b. Baker is another of the MERGED gentle
men that has something good in his kennels.
and this week lie has added 10 them by taking
up that sterling good dog, Depend On Me-
which he thinks Is one OF the kind that Is prop
18th or 18th OF next November that he was not
leaning on a broken reed.
One OF the neatest and best kennels In the
city is that of Hugh McCrackin on Clay street.
H. is ample in extent, and the sheds for the dogs
are roomy aud comfortable. The playground
Is kept in perfect condition, aud there Is no
MIR. McCracken has quite a variety of the
canine race in his Kennels too, comprising
greyhounds. pointers, ST. Bernards and fox
terriers Among the greyhounds Is the well
known dog Midnight, famous as the sire of the
greatest dog that possibly ever went TO slips i'll
Amerlca-Skyrocket.
The old dog is looking well, too, fresh as a
puppy and just as full OF life. He has also
handsome young dog by Midnight OUT Of Lady
H. Glendyne. which certainly promises TO be in
the front rank of our greyhound stock In
another six OF eight months. He has beau
tiful head and neck and fine hind quarters,
good legs and feet. and the only apparent fault
at present is that he Is little high in the
shoulders. but by the time he is 2 years old
Che Is now just Is mOnths) we doubt not
this fault will disappear. His breeding Is equal
to anything in the world. as both his sire md
dam are OF the purest and best strains that
ever were slipped on an American or English
coursug field.
Lady II. Glendyne Is also looking well and is
heavy in pup to the great Skyrocket. This
combination surely should produce great dogs
In the DIch's veins is running the blood of
Jester Iarmagan, Gallant Foe, Don Antonio
COnIango, Cavalier, and indeed that of all the
great hounds that have mad coursing famous
The world over. In this Kennel too, are some
beautiful specimens of the pointer breed,
among which is Juno Fl Gate Little NelD by
Challenge Duke of Vernon out of Champion
Sally Brass. also the fine bitch. Lady Com
stock. by Prince, out of Queen N.
There was also a litter of puppies out of Juno
I'll by Upton OF Blyth That would be credit TO
any kennel In the county. The youngsters are
now three months old, ana show by their IN
must have been bestowed upon them. The
breeding OF these pups Is unexceptiOually good,
as all who are all familiar with this class of
dogs are cognizant of the pedigree and per-
formances of the sire and dam of those splen-
did youngsters. They are the property OF
Henry Huber, we'll known throughout the city
among dog men. Indeed McCrackin's ken
nels are credit TO him and are we'll worth a
visit
