The San Francisco call., 1897-11-09
AFTER THE FLEET HARE.
The Plains of Sunny Merced
Will Swarm With Jacks
and Hounds.
Dog Men From PARKWAY Colorado
Will Be There With Favorite
Runners.

The passengers who were on board the
o'clock Oakland boat Yesterday morn
ing anxiously inquired II Oakland was
booked for another dog show.
II was the departure of the Interstate
Coursing Club for its annual meeting on
the famous plains of Merced, and the
| trim built greyhounds adorned with So
called kennel overcoats attracted no small
amount of attention.
Dogs of all sizes, pedigrees and colors
took possession of two special cars con-
nected with the southbound overland and
the attention they received from their
handlers and oNners would cause the
mother of sick children to believe that the
dog was mans best friend after all.
The leashmen gave up their seats 20 the
long tailed beauties of the coursing sward,
and doubtless happy were the dreams of
the slick appearing doggies as they rode
in comfort to Merced, the City of the
Plains. The following sportsmen were
