interest is felt by all the members in the
success of the club, and as a result every
thing moves along smoothly.

Eighteen rabbits were killed, and accord
ing to spectator the way they made hare
fly" was a caution to the heet-footed deni-

greyhounds in the American Waterloo cup,
Judge Grace, 7. ]. Cronin, w. d. Murphy
and NJ. ". Kerrigan having taken nomi-
nations.
Up to the present there is no news of the
result OF the English Waterloo cup. The
original date of the meeting was the Goth
of February, but in consequence of con-
+lo. M IL =
postponed till the 9th; but as there is yet
no news it must have been again post
poned. The weather in England during
the month of February has been the most
inclement for years. Joe Thompson, an
Australian bookmaker, who was here a
couple of years ago intending to start
race track, has 10000 book on the great
event. 1t is said that Colonel North of
Fullerton fame has nothing in his kennel
this year that has chance. Count
Strogonoff, the Russian nobleman who
supplied the winner last year, will
be represented this year by Jack
Herschel or Skager Rack, both of which
coursing season in England. The Earl of
Seton will be represented by his eldest
son this year, and he, in all probability,
will nominate his recent purchase, Maid
of Glenetive, for which he gave a high
price only a few months ago. L. Pilking-
tOIls OlC VI lLlc SItdIcSI OI IIlt Ei1SllSu
leashmen, will send Thoughtless Beauty to
the slips and as she had shown great form
in the big stakes in the northern counties
she is backed for thousands. The result of
the Waterloo all over the sporting world
now is looked for with as much interest as
the English Derby, and the amount of
money bet on it cannot be much less than
from ESQ, 600 TO $4,000.
Two stakes will be run at Casserly's Park
to-morrow-a 16-dog puppy stake and an
S-dOg alleged stake. The draw for the
puppy stake is as follows:
