1t Was Their Day at the
Ingleside Coursing
Park.

With Fleet-Footed
Hares.
Rossette and Cavalier, Belonging to P.
G. Curtis, and Welch's Tipperary
Lass Made Records.

The usual running of saplings and
puppies, occurring the last Sunday of
each month, took place yesterday at the
Ingleside coursing park. The perform
ances, witnessed by couple OF thousand
people, were highly gratifying and showed
that the standard of breeding on this
coast tar surpasses that of any other part
of the United States
The youngsters showed better form than
hose of last year and the stake-wnners OF
three years ago would, in comparison,
only make showing with the third-cla> 8
of the present day.
The perfection OF breeding that has been
attained in hounds is an encouragement
to the Interstate Coursing Club members.
They have worked hard for years to
bolster up coursing in this State, and 1T is
only since a year ago last April, when
they secured the Ingleside park, that
they have been able to run their dogs on
a legitimate course and command public
interest
NJ. J. Donovan, the general superin-
tendeat of the park, has settled down to q
strict line of conduct, which prohibits
any body connected with the institution
from either owning a dog or betting on
any of the events. AZ consequence,
only the patrons of the park run their
dogs, and leave all decisions TO John
Grace, the best and most popular judge OF
coursIng in the United States.
Yesterdays events, some thirty in num-
ber, were very close. The hares were
strong and fully half of the starters es-
capped the dogs

ling stakes for prizes OF s27 So SIS and So
