The San Francisco call., 1895-12-03
ONLY one COURS|NG PARK
The Popular Resorts Have
Finally Effected a Con-
Solidation.
Result of the Final Runs of the
Thanksgiving Stakes at Golden
Gate Park.

Devotees of coursing saw their last run
ming in the local parks, until the 18th inst,
on Sunday. The attraction of the inter
state meet at Merced will take many of
the followers of the sport to that point
and any local stakes run during the big
meet would probably be poorly attended.
For the present, at least, there will be
but one park conducted within easy dis
tance of San Francisco. The proprietors
of the Ocean View and Golden Gate parks
have Joined forces and all meetings will be
held at the former resort, which has been
so long and successfully conducted by
Eugene Casserly The new firm, Casserly
d Kerrigan, will make extensive improve
ments at the park and will conduct cours-
ing on q scale never before seen in this
section.
During the Merced meet, which he will
attend, Mr.. Casserly will arrange for large
and frequent consignments of the famous
Merced Jacks, which have often been
known to outrun the best hounds and es-
cape after courses of many miles. John
Grace Jr. will probably be the Judge at the
consolidated park, with either John Grams
ton or w. Trade at the slips and Eugene
Casserly and Martin Kerrigan on the pool
box.
The last day at the Golden Gate park
was profitable one for the management,
the crowd being large and betting of the
Iiveliest kind.
The unfinished stake carried over from
Thanksgiving Gay was brought to finish,
West End winning from Wayfarer after a
hard course. The hares were unusually
fast and this gave the long-end players
mainly men with knowledge of the breed
ing and staying qualities OF the dogs-a
great advantage, and some OF them quit
heavy winners.
