GOOD COURSING
 EXPECTED IN TWO PARKS.


 There'n be some warm coursing at the Ingleside and Union coursfng parks to- day and tomorrow.
 The stakes at both parks are rich and well worth winning.
 Of course there are no strong armed jockeys to guide the hounds. but there are many niceties of training and hand ling which make perfect. The running to-day at Ingleside begins at l D. m. and the run-off of the ties to- morrow at Il a m.
 Dr. Van Hummel has in his Eastern string an "ocean greyhound" Fact! While out for their morning run one day last week one the 'fierS' eSpied rustling of something strange among the tule grass in Lake Merced. Followed by the rest of the pack he dashed into the water and a moment later tossed a black object above his head. as he would toss a hare. He refused to bring it ashore, but the doctor secured 1t and found it to be canvasback duck. Had it been a fish this story might be doubted. But the doctor offers to VOuch for its truthfulneSS with four witnesses and a eulogistic dis | sertation on the epicurean delights sub l SeQuently enjoyed.
 | J. Farleys Snowbird has been bred to the game old Skyball. To this was due | the poor work of Snowbird last week, but | the ultimate outcome will make up for all | that.
 | B. Dougherty is coming to the front | again with his puppies Palmer Hill and Lady Thorndyke, and of late he has been
 landing well within the money This Is as it should be. It Is not true that Dough- erty raised the dogs that killed the dogs that worried Lazarus, but Dougherty has l certainly raised some of the cleverest greyhounds that ever ran in America, and
 he certainly deserves all the luck that the sport can afford him.
 The work of Lynch & Mahers new
 Eastern dog Dakota at Ingleside last
 week showed him to be the same grand
 dog that he was of old. He was not a
 winner, but it was not expected that he
 would be. He has scarcely been run for a year, and has not yet been on the coast | long enough to recover from the fatigue
 of the trip. In two months he will be | heard from.
 | It is hinted that a match race is posSi-
 ble between J. Deans Mlalmo and w. B. | Thompson's Patria. Such contest would
 draw the leashmen Of the coast to the
 city.
 Walter Hobart is reported to be about l to embark in coursing. Unable, it is said, | to find stock suited to his taste in this | country, he has sent to England and
 Australia for fiag-raisers. An extensive | chased.
 l Governor Budd is another. sportsman
 who begins to show an awakening inter
 est in courSing.
 The rundown at Ingleside to-day should
 show a flag for the following:
 Van Nida, Glenroy, Captain Morse, vic l tor, Johnny K, Occldental, Moondyhe' 1 Gilt Edge, Princess Maria, Log Boy,
 Rapid, Right Bower, Benalong, Just Eclipse, Sly Boy. Swinnerton, Patria, Van | Weeda, Hercules, Black Prince, Magnet, l Decoto, White Lily, Senorita. The probable winners in the rundown at Union coursing park to-day are: Chit | Chat, Coralie, Rosette, Santa Alicia, Mo notony, Commodore, Moors Prescription, Koo'Iawn, Amorita, Mercy May. Arapa- hoe, Kingstone Tod Sloan, Benicia Boy, Diana, Cavalier, Susie, Gallagher. White Chief, Terona, Firm Friend Theron, Mountain Beauty, Magic, Rusty Gold, Joy Bells Waratah, Eclipse.
 The Union coursing park has now an inviting appearance, and with good run ming hares there is no reason why the two coursing parks should not do we'll in this county.
