men are scurrying over tho ground to be
In at the death.
The other method OF coursipg jack rab-
bits Is tame in comparison TO this lively
sport as II Is simply competition among
the hounds, race, ms IL were, In when
the hound who can score the greater
number OF points by making the rabbit
change his direction of flight receives the
prize. Generally the meet Is held in
park, one corner OF which Is fenced OIL
by a hign, dog tight fence, which is
known as the rabbits home, while the re-
mainder OF the space Is utilized Tor the
running. The rabbits are kept in their
home until few days previous TO the run
ming, when they are driven over the
ground In order TO make them familiar
with the ways OF escape, number OF
which are provided at different intervals
on the grounds.
IL possible another Enclosure Is made at
the other end OF the park or track from
the "ra bbit home," and a couple Of hours
before the running the jacks are driven
there. Tho dogs are held in slips near
the inclosure. One rabbit Is LET out at
time, and whom about so yards away the
dogs start for him and the man holding
them, called the slipper, runs up toward
the hsre. while the hounds are strainlng
at their slips. The word of command Is
given by the Judge, the dogs are slipped
and away they go, after the hare pell
nell. Knowing where his home is the
jack makes precipitate haste TO get there
and In this race across the field the points
for the greyhound arc decided. by turn
ing or causing the jack TO turn one point
is credited to the hound.
III one dog at any stage OF the race Is one
length behind and running by the other
dog is a clear length ahead he is credited
with two points. IL the hare is turned
slightly from his line but still keeps go-
ing every dodge Is called wrench" and
is credited to the gray hound pressing
him at the time. The efforts to escape
made by the ra bbit are unfortunately not
counted to bis credit, but to the dogs for
compelling him to turn, wrench or
double back.
Only two grey hounds are loosened
after one hare the sole object being to
test their speed, quickness and staying
powers, and to stop all appearances OF
cruelty the dogs are muzzled so that they
are una BILE to make a kill, but may stop
the rabbit for a time.
In each OF these races, or heats, as
they may more properly be termed. only
the winners again compete, and Thus
ID goes on until the field gradually dimin-
she's and the final pair known as the
winner and runner up draw the meet to
a close. DOG

"JIMv GILBERT'S COOLER.
II Was Given Him by the "FlorIda Water"
Boys.

The Providence Opera House was packed
like q bottle or chow-chow Saturday
night at the closing performance of
ssFlorida Water by the Brown boys.
The inspiration OF the opera coupled with
the enthusiaHm remaining from the
brilliant walIoping OF the Yale bali team
by Browns aggregation in the afternoon
set the whole house right upon its feet
all through the performance Principals
in the cast, composers and iibretitsts were
called before the curtain end made
speeches that were evidently enough i'm
rroptu, but that were feolingly expressed
and put the house in line uproar.
About every flower store in town had
been stripped Of flowers and the stage was
turned into a big garden.
The climax came in the middle of all
this. The curtain dropped on the second
act, but the chorus was apparently slow
about getting of che stage, and into
their rigs for the last act. SO Mr.. James
Gilbert, whom of duty every body
knows as '"Jim," who has rehearsed the
company and directed the production OF
the opera with so much of Advantage TO
its presentation and 10 tho young artists
engaged In IL, swung on TO tho stage to
assert his authority. Wheroupon, much
10 Mr.. Gilbert's emazement and dlscomii-
ture the curtain was rung.up and the big
audience was given an exhibition that
was not on the bills. Mr. Thomas Cros-
by, the talented young man who does
Ponte de Leon I'm the piece, was armed
with speech and fine silver champagne
Ice cooler, both o Z which lie gracefully
presented "a a tribute from the "Florida
Water company 10 Mr.. Giltert The
recipient was not SO well prepared as was
Mr.. Crosby, but he managed to say few
words in Acknowledgement that were to
the point, thanking the boys FOR the Gift,
expressing his appreciation of their at
senticn and aptitude at rehearsals and
congratulating them on their success.
Then The curtain was rung down and the
house shook itself about 10 pieces with
applause.
At IL O'Clock today Mr.. Gilbert left the
City Hotel with crook-hnndlcd cane,
and umbrella, and a brown flag ON 4 stick
IA one hand, a grip sack in the other,
and his silver champagne cooler done np
IN brown paper under his left arm. lie
was tound for Boston.

Near Stockton, N. y.

CAMDEN, N. j., May 4.--,rhe body OF

them five cents. A storm came up and
they left the man standing under tree.

WHY HE PLAYED.
A Cornetst Gives Concert at the NUM-
cipal Palace.

Clpal falaSe.
A man with an Il flat cornet attracted
much attention to himself this forenoon
in front OF city hall by giving an inn
promptu concert that was worth listen
ing TO in itself, and also fer the addi-
tional interest aroused in the breasts OF
his listeners because OF their wonderment
ns to why he did IL. There was no hint
OF coming show OF which the soloist
might be the advertising forerunner--no
accomplice with corn cure piacard on his
back was in sight, and there was no hat
passing. The musician was too we'll
dressed TO suggest that. His shoes were
blacked and his collar wasn't, neither
was his shirt. and he wore link cuffs
without blemish. And moreover, VIII lite

q horid face made the man look like q
twin brother OF ex-Congressman Spooner.
lie played for half an hour and then
bowed 10 the crowd which had spread
out unit il surrounded the Soldiers Mon
ument. boot black asked for more and
the player responded with little of
Paradise Alley, but that was the end Of
the show. The cornetist ran up city hall
steps with the aiacrity of n man going In
to take the oath OF Office and joined
the line of applicants for work at the
Mayors Office, anu few minutes later
got his interiew with His Honor. Then
his secret was out. lie wanted permit 10
play in the streets OF Providence for few
days and as preliminary TO asking for it
he had serenaded the Mayor But unfor-
tunately, the Mayor who had enjoyed the
music and saw no harm In IL, did not
consider IL his place to grant the permit,
but sent the petitioner to the chief OF
police, who was out and hadn't heard the
serenade.
However, the man isn't beggar and
his music isn't of the nuisance variety 40
the officials al police headquarters made
HIM welcome until their superior arrived
when his request was granted.
The soloist said that he had heen blow
ing his horn for 26 years and after play
ing with all the principal bands Of the
world with the exception OF Hudson's in
East Providence, had decided to seek
variety in the life or the troubadour.
The program Of the city hall serenade
was: "Reform rhapsody" 1.-THE Trans
fer Fantastic" with all the variations,

Boards Lament" "As Mum berless as the

In the West one OF the most sportsman

ing OF jack rabbits with gray hounds; a
sport which, properly speaking, may be
divided into two separate and distinct
branche', as the coursing in one instance
relates to The chase pure and simple,
while In the other IL Is nothing more nor
less than a competition for points among
the dogs.

.'This incident rather fascinated me, SO
went with MY, friend to posada or inn
frequented by horse and cattle dealers,
where we found Macau sitting with a
party of companions smoking cigarettes
and gossiping idly. Ny friend called him
to- one side, introduced me, and over a
bottle OF wine we chatted for an hour or
two No reference was made to his per-
Esonal history but we talked of his
friends in the United States,of the atti-
tude of our government in the last Cuban
revolution, and its. policy generally in
regard to other American colonies and
republics. Maceo was, very earnest in
his belief that the government of the
United States should enforce the Monroe
doctrine, not only to prevent the at
tempts of European governments to coll
onize on American soil, but to assist in
securing the independence. of all Euro
pean possessions AS he expressed it,
Americans and not Europeans, should
rule America.
II never heard this subject discussed
with more intelligence and eloquence,
although his English was imperfect, ana
I told my friend afterward that if Maceo
had enjoyed the benefits of education, he
would have been leader Of information

was the quiet marriage of DIR. Daniel H.
Cunningham to Miss Theresa l., Callag-

was performed by Rev. Hugh Creyier

John Cunningham, of Graceville, Mimi,
brother Of the groom, acted as best man,

Misses Blanche and Mamie Torney in
the capacity of flower girls, seeming very

''Maceo was a man of very attractive

mos Club, the other night, in Washing

of meeting him in Costa RIGA, and was
much impressed with his appearance and
had complexion that any woman would
! covet. His skin had that peculiar tint of
yellow which in dress goods is called cafe
au lait-a yellowish cream color, like
Mocha coffee with just enough cream in
it to make it perfection-and was: so
; transparent that you could see the blue
veins beneath. He had a fine head and
d fine eye, and although he was a man
OF no education and never had any social
advantage beyond those of a soldier and
a teamster-the two trades that he had
followed since his youth-his manners
were those of gentleman. could not
