 hounds.

The Interstate Coursing Club, with l. F. Halton secretary, will hold its inaugural meeting on Saturday on the grounds oI the Union Coursing Park Assoc1atlon' Ill San Mateo County, and 1t is expected that an immense crowd of leashmen ana the lovers of the grand old sport Of cours- ing will witness the first runoo"n ol an exceedingly large stake.
 Although the weather looks threaten ing. the club is in hopes of having fine day for it's opening, but whether 1t rains
 or shines the meeting will be heid: os
 The new park Is beautifully situated The grand stand, which has cost con siderable money to construct, will accom- modate several thousand people ana magnificent view of each course may pc obtained from any seat under its TOOL The park itself has been pronounced per feet by experts for coursing, as the land is springy and just sufficiently soft to enable the dogs to fly over 1t without sustaining any injury to their feet. The hares now in the paddocks nave been fed on corn for some days and It IS expected that they will give first-class account of themselves when they are | called upon to speed for their lives to- | ward the escape, which will be at least | one mile from the place where the dogs The English judge, MT. Bull, will be in the saddle on Saturday. Among the local
 ed in what they expect will be somewhat of a change in the American style of judging courses.
 It will be rather severe on MT. Bull to judge two days meetings immediately following his arrival from England, but the club is determined to carry out it's programme at all hazards and as mat ter of fact a large crowd will be on hand to see how the new broom sweeps. Passengers to the new park must take the San Francisco and San Mateo line of electric cars, which will land them within very short walk of the coursing Sward. By taking the Mission street cars trans fers will be issued at Fourteenth street to the new line.
