John Dugan's Experience With
Pot-Hunter in the Old Preserve.

Pot-Hunter in the Old Preserve.
There will be two coursing meetings to-
morrow. The Interstate Club will open it's
new PARK at Newark, and at Ocean View
Kerrigan and Cronin will give an open
meeting, for which valuable prizes are
offered.
John Dugan, an old and popular
coursing man, who resides at Newark,
relates a good story concerning the
Newark Park. when it was in it's prime
some years ago, as follows:
81 had just received large consignment
of hares from Trapper Browning of Mer-
ced," said Dugan, land was after giving
them the liberty It the big field when l
heard several shots in tie vicinity of the
breeding paddock
Il was at the time of the shooting en-
gagged in arranging some of the escapes at
the lower end of the field, but you can
gamble it took me only very short time
to reach the place where the cannonading
how felt when / saw hunter behind one
of the trees in the breeding park pumping
lead as fast as he could shoot at the breed
ing hares. l ran toward him with the
vowed intention of giving him as good a
humping as he had ever received, and, as
| got to within hundred yards or so of
where the fellow was kneeling, the fellow
jumped up and shouted angrily at me to
keep back.
II quickened my footsteps, and as got
within talking distance of him he again
shouted at me: Keep back, keep back,
you fool, or you'll scare them all away !;
the woods are full of Them
1.-THE idiot actually thought that he had
happened upon an 1mpromptu gathering
how had tnI <O
afternoons sport; but when had. my say
and collected 81 for every hare he had
bagged, the hunter concluded that the
sport was hardly. worth the expense. Yes,
l have had many hard runs after hunters
who would bowl hare over and then make
their escape for town. l expect that some
hare-shooting will result again, now that
the park is opened, unless precautions are
taken to keep the hunters a good distance
from the breeding grounds
