FINESPORH With THE HARES
The RUN OF THE NEW OCCI-
DENTAL CLUB A DECIDED
SUCCESS.
BRING OUT SOME STRONG
YOUNGSTERS.

The new Occidental Club had fine
days sport in Kerrigan's park yesterday.
There were twenty dogs in the stake
owned by members of the club, and the
prizes were $40, $50, $50, and two 10-dollar
prizes.
The meeting was managed by the officers
of the club, and more successful one
could not have been arranged. President
Hull, Vice-President Perigo, Secretary
Watson and Treasurer Carney attended
to all details and everything went off like
cl oCkwork. John Grace was in the saddle,
James Wren handled the leash, J. R.
Dickson was slip-steward, D. Curtin han
died the flags; D. D. Roach, A. Merrill
and Thomas Ford acted as feld-stewards.
All through the hares ran well and the
trials were all good. The winner turned
up in D. D. Roach's young dog, Gold King.
This young hound is doing Splendidly.
He is a son of Mr.. Roach John Mitchell,
and in all his running has proved that he
is a coming flyer. In his work yesterday
he met all the good dogs and upset them
in turn, Castaway, Longfellow, Rambler,
Wee Lassie and Lady Glare.
Wee Lassie ran singularly well, consider
ing her want OF proper condition. Lady
Glare is game and showed up well, upset.
ting all opponents until she met Gold
King in the final, and in that she pressed
him so closely that the first course was an
undecided, but in the second attempt he
beat her easily. Coomassie ran as usual in
fine style, but in her course with Lady
Clare in the third round she either broke
or injured some of her toes so badly that
when it came to close work her power was
gone and Lady Glare beat her easily. The
attendance was good and betting was very
brisk all day.

At Casserlys Ocean View Park there
stake of sixteen dogs and the other an all
ages stake of eight dogs. The attendance
was good.
J. Grace Jr. judged and James Grace
slipped.
In this field there was also some good
coursing, especially with the puppies.
The. San Jose puppy Blackbird ran won
derfully well, upsetting all opponents.
Next to him was Tipperary, Port Costa
youngster, and, though defeated in the
final, the latter is very likely to turn the
tables on his conqueror in the future.
Kilkenny Girl is also a very handsome
youngster that will be heard from before
very long. Starlight is also undoubtedly a
| good young dog.
The best course of the day was between
| the ultimate winner, Blackbird, and Pride
| OF the Valley. The $55 in the stake was di-
vided as follows: f. McCombs Blackbird,
$40; j. Luces Tipperary, SIS; S. A. Cum
mings' Starlight and J. Su1livan's Kill
kenny Girl, $40 each.
OF the eight dogs in the all-aged stake T.
Halls Annie Laurie outclassed all and had
| comparatively no trouble in appropriating
first prize, $12. 7. Trant's Little Beauty
also ran well, but was no match for her
MERGED competitor. She got second money,
So. The Judging and slipping gave thor
ough satisfaction to all.
