THE EASTERN DOGS WON,
Sport al the Opening Meet of the
Interstate Coursing
Club.
A Sixteen Dog Stake at. Ocean View
Park To-Day With Some
Crack Entries.

The members of the recently reorgan-
lied Interstate Coursing Club and quite q
number of their friends spent pleasant
day yesterday watching the running that
took place in the inaugural meeting of the
club at Newark Coursing Club.
AS the entries in the meetings of this
club are limited to the dogs OF members,
the affair was somewhat exclusive, which
tended to make the crowd smaller than it
would otherwise have been.
The day was perfect and the grounds in
fine condition, barring a slight hardness
that was rather trying on the feet of the
dogs.
Interest in the affair was heightened by
the fact that E. II. Mulcaster, the Eastern
coursing enthusiast was on hand with
some of his best dogs, and the sportsmen
present were all agog to see what showing
they would make with. the California
hounds. In previous meetings the East
ern dogs have not shown up very we'll.
Yesterday the case was different, however,
for Mulcaster's dogs made marks of their
opponents.
Following is the result of the rundown:
]. II. Rosseter's Pocahontas beat Robinson &
Peyton's Lass o. Gowrie; ]. r. Dickson's Ce-
milla beat T. Buffers Susie; NJ. Curtis Lady
Campbell beat. J. H. Rosseters Santa Alicia;

Curtis Cleverness; H. Springs Bonnie Belle
beat Robinson d Peyton'S Red Rover.
First ties-Pocahontas peat Camilla, Lady
Campbell beat Livingston, Bonnie Belle beat

The old dog stake was then taken up
and carried through the rundown as fol-
lows:

Peytons Royal Daisy, E. H. Mulcaster's Fear

STORY OF A GOLD WATCH,
Two Alameda Boys Offer One for
Sale and Disclose a
Theft.
Patriotic Entertainment by Pupils of
Notre Dame Academy-New
Choral Society.

ALAMEDA, CAL, Feb. 22.-On Friday
two boys, Milton Blake and John Powell,
attracted attenti on Park street by their
efforts to sell gold watch. The boys were
nine years of age and it was manifest at
once that they could not properly have
such thing TO dispose OF. The police
took the boys in charge and questioned
them as to where they obtained the time
piece. Their stories were improbable and
contradictory. They were sent home and
the watch retained until their parents
could be conferred with, when 1t was ex-
pected that information would be obtained
as to the rightful owner. 1t turned out
that the watch belonged to Mrs. Miller of
1923 Santa Clara avenue. 1t was taken
from her residence by the Blake boy, who
accompanied his mother on visit to the
Miller home. The first intimatlon the
mother had of the incident was when IN
qulry was made by the police as TO the
ownership of the watch. Although young
IN years, the Blake boy has caused his
parents great deal of trouble and worry
through his waywardness.
