 This will be a jubilee week for the leash
 men. The purses disbursed at the two parks in the regularly scheduled stakes aggregate no less than S1725, besides
 which the winner of the match race be- tween Connemara and False Flatterer, at Ingleside, will pull down another $750.
 At Union Park the features are a stake for non-winners, embracing seventy-two candidates, and a twenty-four dog cham pion stake. At Ingleside the card in
 cludes a champion stake with thirty-two performers, the usual monthly puppy stake, with forty entries. and the match race. The champion contests at both parks show the best stock of the coast. The puppy stake at Ingleside has brought out an unusual aggregation of young sters-unusual in number and quality.
 The non-winners' event at Union Park will puzzle the talent in almost every course.
 The match race between Connemara and False Flatterer has excited much specu- lation locally and the result will be await

 The new system which will go into operation to-day at Union Park will prac- | tfcally place in the hands of the dog owners themselves the selection of the
 hare their dogs will be slipped to. The fastest and best rabbits on hand are six coops, all of them being numbered. On passing the slip steward on their way | to the slips the owner of the dog lon the white" will draw an envelope containing number. Arriving at the slips the hare
 in the coop with the corresponding num- Der in the envelope is the one which will be slipped. This will be done in full view of both owners or trainers. Should the hare not prove satisfactory, the man who
 drew the number In the envelope can only blame his own bad luck in not get l ting a hare more to his liking.
