HARES AND HOUNDS
Big Crowd at Agricultural Park-The
New Club Grounds

The most successful days coursing
that has ever been held at Agricultural
park was that of yesterday. Between

off of the sixty four dog match and the
f1ve-lnile race between wheelman and
a horse. This is the largest crowd that
has ever attended a coursing match in
this part of the state, and the sport was
all that the spectators could have hoped
for. The "jacks" were fast and the dogs
we'll matched. There were comparative
ly few escapes, and what made the sport
all the better was that most of the kills
were made close enough to the grand
stand to permit the crowd to witness
the catching of the hares. The runs re-
