CoURsING MEETS.
FlashIight Won the Unfinished Stake
at Casser1y' y's-Kerrigan's Events
Were Not Finished.

The showery weather of yesterday did
turing out to indulge in their favorite
sport, and the parks were well patronized
Casserly's park was scene OF some splen-
did running, the hares being a fast, cum
ming lot, often gaining the escapes before
being caught by the dogs.
Flashlight justified the confidence of
his hackers by winning the stake that was
left over from the previous Sunday from
the fast and clever Sly Boy.
Following Is the result Of the remaining
ties:
Belmont beat Blaekthorn, Lightweight beat
Shaunrue, Flashlight beat Lam mplighter.
Second ties-Sly Boy beat Maggie NJ, Belmont
beat Susie, Flashlight beat Lightweight.
Third ties-Sly Boy beat Belmont, Flashlight

The additional old-dog stake was divided

j. Nelson played a rattling match against
.. Hendry and c. Johnson and were de-
feated in two straight games. Owing to
the rain IN the afternoon the match be-
tween Al Pennoyer and r. Lenihan and ].
}. Feeney and Joe Roger was postponed
till next Sunday.
There is a feeling of sincere regret in
handball circles that J. Jones, the Aus
trallan champion, is TO leave by the next
steamer for Australia. He will be given a
testimonial benefit at the San Francisco
court next Sunday, at which all the lead
ing players in the City will take part.
Jones will finish up by playing against
three OF the known players on the
coast. The clever Australian has done
more to further the interests of handoalI
IN this City in particular and on the coast
IN general than will ever be appreciated,
ana all lovers of the sport should make it
point to be present at the San Francisco
court next Sunday.
Inc handball tournament was continued
yesterday at tie outside grounds.
In the first class Elmer and McVicker
defeated Allison and Morton by the fol-
lowing score: 21-17, 15-21, 21-12. This
gives them the second prize.
!he second-class game consisted OF some
spirited contests. Among them was the
defeat OF Smith and Collins by James and
hailett, the latter team putting up an eX-
cellent game. This was an important VIC
tory for James and Hallett, as it made all
the remaining teams tie for first place.
Had Smith and Collins won II would have
secured for them the first prize, as they
had defeated all other teams in this class.
turley and Newman also played close
game, but were defeated by Smith and
Collins. Bush and Cunningham did not
put up the game that was expected, being
defeated by Smith and Jackson, the latter
team winning first prize. This settled the
!ong-existing rivalry between these teams.
Baker and Johnson afterward played Bush
and Cunningham for second prize, but
after very close game lost.
The ties in second class will be played
of next Sunday.

PRAYED FOR THE DEAD,
Impressive Services Held Yes.
terday at the Cathe-
dral.
For the First Time the Calvarian
Society Met for It's Special
DeYotionS.

Saturday was All Souls day and the
usual services for the dead were celebrated
in the various churches. Yesterday, how
ever, the Calvarian Society held special
services in the cathedral for the benefit of
the souls of the dead as a supplemental
service to that of Saturday.
The CaIvarian Society is an organization
the object of which is to secure through
prayer the mercy of God for the souls OF
the departed. 1t is not more than a year
old but it already mum bers over 5000 in this
City and in various parts of the country,
and after the services yesterday seven or
eight hundred names were added. The
deTotions OF the society are simple and in
clude only those forms which are best
suited TO its aim. While the mem bership
IS exclusively Catholic the devotions are
LOT the benefit OF all the dead, no matter OF
what church.
Rev. Father Joseph F. Byrne, spiritual
director OF the society, led the services
yesterday. Eighteen black-robed acolytes
bowed with him before the altar while he
repeated the opening prayer and asked
pressing on the service, and then forming
ia hne they came slowly through the
a.sa!gate ana turned toward the first
station OF the cross. The procession moved
SLOWLY, the crucihx at the head, lust be-
hlnd TWO boys with lighted tapers and be-
tween them the priest. The men chauted
a hyInn as they moved along, until the
Irst station was reached. Here the special

the living to pray for the dead, and sug.

results ought not to be lightly laid aside.

who desired to Join in the promise of the
society as he repeated it, and then to enroll
their names as they went out. There are
three degrees OF mem bership: First. those
who promise TO repeat the PRAYERS every
day; second, those who will repeat them
every week, and third, those who will re-
peat them every year.

sermon, and then, as the people filed out,
many of them signed the roll of the society.
