- Great Coursing Meeting viii Be
Held at Newark TO-Morrow.

Held at Newark TO-Morrow.
Tomorrow grand coursing meeting
viii be held at Newark Park, which place
Is recognized by all of the prominent
Ieashmen of the State as the finest indoor
coursing demesne in the State. The
manager OF the grounds, T. Cronin, who Is
known TO every lover of the sport in the
West, said yesterday that the hares which
he received from Merced some weeks ago
are In the very best condition possible and
that some great runs will be witnessed to-
morrow.
i have seen many grueling races on the
plains OF Merced during my experience as
promoter of coursing," said Cronin,
but the grandest course Of all witnessed
with some friends few days ago III New
ark Park.
Il wanted to test the running qualities
OF the hsres, and after one or two courses
concluded that the stock on hand could
not be better. [ had two of my best dogs
ready 10 give the first of the short-taii
sprlnters of the plains a run for his life
the moment he put his face outside of the
breeding paddock, and it would have
pleased you 10 see the little rascal drop
his ears on his shoulders the moment he
1aStened his peppers on the greyhounds.
On he shot like a bullet for the escape at
the northeast end OF the racing field, and
When about eighty yards from the hounds
the slips parted and away went the long
tails in hot pursuit.
Half way down the field the dogs over
hauled their game and forced the hare
from its line, but in The turn the dogs were
thrown out badly and puss got over many
yards OF ground before it was again COM
PEELED 10 sWerve from g course which had
brought 1t 10 within fifty yards of the es-
cape. Down the field hare and hounds
came at dashing gait and [ was never so
much surprised in my life to see the hare
actually gaining on the dogs. Puss was
almost at the escape leading into the
breeding field, when it stumbled and fell.
one OF the dogs made desperate attempt
to kin, but the grand little animal escaped
by quick wrench which gave it another
chance for its life. 1t carried the dogs
once again the entire length of the field,
where several turns were scored by the
brindle and black, and finally kill re-
suited. 1t was the grandest bit of cours-
ing l have ever seen, and you can safely
say that the large crowd OF sport-lovers
who viii witness the meeting of tomorrow
will return home thoroughly satisfied with
having enjoyed a gala days sport"
