HIGH CLASS DOGS TO
MEET AT INGLESIDE
FIRST CLASS CoURSING PROM.
ISED FOR TODAY.
A Fine Sixty-Four Dog Stake to Be
Run Off and Also Good
Puppy Stake.

Leashmen who are DESTROYS of seeing
first-class coursing should certainly at
tend the meetings at Ingleside Park to-
day and tomorrow, as there are among
the sixty-four candidates for coin and
glory many famous dogs. Forget, Tod
Sloan, Swinnerton, Skybal hardwood,
Rock Island Boy, Mind Your Eye, Irma,
Senorita, Connemara, Patria and Moon
dyne are all first-class representatives OF
the local kennels, and will doubtless re-
tire from the field with distinction, at
least so far as to-day's sport is concerned
AS there are not a few Eastern dogs in
the stake which have shown good form
in private trials, it would be well for
SPECTATORS to exercise some caution when
betting on the courses, as some OF the
dogs which will certainly figure in the
short end may surprise those VINO are
generally successful in picking winners:
Swinnerton and Killarney Lass should
make very close race, although the t1rst
named dog may show the greater speed
to game. 1t is said that Prince Hall is
very liable to lower the colors of Rock
Island Boy, but he viii need ee, be a
Boy if the latter is in anything
like good form; still, there are many I'M
eertainties in c9uIsing Bendalong ana
course provided that Lissak will not re-
sort to cunning tactics. If Senorita is
right she may give Gonnem n i,h a grI9eieTf;
Rockln Bell is in condition she should
make matters very interesting for Miss
Dividend, although she will doubtless be
placed on the short end.
So far. as the puppies are concerned 1t
is difficult TO pick the probable winners,
as the youngsters are unreliable and no
one can form an idea of how they will
act. 1t is generally the puppy stakes
that bother the talent, as line cannot
be drawn on the tyros, excepting in some
few instances.
Great preparations have been made by
the Ingleside Coursing Club for its annual
meeting on the far-famed plains Of Mer-
ced. The drawing will be held in Pythian
Castle at $50 o'clock on Saturday even
ing, the 18th inst, and it will be limited
to sixty-four dogs. 1t can be said, right
now, that the stake is pretty well filled
and dog owners who anticipate seeing
their longtails flying over the sand dunes
should make application to Secretary
Elmer as soon as possible, or otherwise
they may find themselves shut out on the
evening of the drawing.
The club and it's friends will leave here
on Monday morning, the. 18th inst; at 0
o'clock and will reach MERGED at 2:30 p.
M; fare for the round trip, good for four
days, is "a. A grand banquet will be held
