COURSING.
Grand Sport Is Promised at Ingle-
side Park To-Day.

vi anu SpOrt IS PROMISED at in&le-
side Park To-Day.
The Interstate Coursing Club has issued
very neat invitations for its "ladies' day
meeting" which will be held this after
noon at Ingleside Park.
Coursing will commence sharp at 1 80
O'Clock and the committee in charge is in
hopes that all lovers of the grand old sport
will be on hand promptly to see the first
brace of dogs enter the slips, as consider
able money is wagered on the naugural
race of the day. The Mission-sreet elec-
trio cars will convey passengers to the
grounds.
According to the drawing which took
place on Thursday evening last great rae
ing should certainly result, as the fastest
and best-bred dogs in the State are entered
in this particular event.
1t Is hardly necessary to remark that
Dalton's hareS are runners OF the old
school. The races of last Sunday proved
beyond question that the hares of Ingle-
side Park are superior as long-distance
runners to any of the Merced stock that
have been imported and raced by grey
hounds within the fenced grounds. Man
ager Dalton attributes his success in tnis
particular to his method Of feeding the
spry little short tails.
Hares, he contends, are like racehorses.
They must be carefully looked after and
fed regularly on food that will harden
them for long and grueling courses.
The Interstate Club meeting of to-day
will certainly be witnessed by large gath
ering of ladies and gentlemen. OF course,
owing to the fact that large number of
sportsmen whose principal outdoor amuse-
ment is witnessing sharp and spirited
dashes between the long and shorttail
fiiers cannot leave their work to see the
sport of to-day, it is not expected that the
gathering at Ingleside will be as large as
if the meeting was held on Sunday. How
ever, a grand days sport is promised all
lovers of the leash who will be in attend
ance.
The following report appeared recently
in the American Field:
1t will be welcome news TO all having the
welfare of coursing ct heart to know that w.
c. Peyton and j. H. Rosseter have been elected
by the Interstate Coursing Club as its repre-
sentatives on the American Coursing Board.
This is cause for congratulation ali round.
Furthermore, the president of the board has
appointed these two gentlemen committee to
act upon California cases, in which they Will
take testimony and report to the board. j.
Herbert Watson has been working for some
time to bring this about, and we heartily con-
gratulate him upon its consummation. The
meetings of the Interstate Coursing Clu b are,
of course, run under the American Coursing
Boards rules, though some minor alterations
may be allowed in order TO suit circumstances
out there
Messrs. Peyton and Rosseter are un-
questionab!y the right men in the right
