< < 4 < 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 < 4 < <


 It required something like thirty years to lift coursing to the plane of popular sport on this coast. But 1t has attained such a place, and from present 1ndica' tions many years will elapse before il wanes. The spacious grand stands al the parks continue to show an increasing attendance weekly. New dogs are being sought throughout the country and ever throughout the world. Competent train CTS no longer know empty pockets. Pup pies are reared as carefully as high-borr infants. It Is the era of scoursing and ol the greyhound.
 At Ingleside to-day an open-stake and z sapling event will be run down, and tht ties run off tomorrow. At Union Park the feature is an all-age, open stake, ern bracing seventy-two thoroughbred can didates. At both parks the sport should be of the warmest kind. The best stock at present on the coast will be seen 1T the two open events. The sapling con- test has brought out many fledglings new to the slips, but all have been tried in pri. vate and many are declared to be em- .bryo champions.
 The aggregate stake money dsbursed at the two parks to-day is over $160O.
 Last weeks work at Ingleside showed marked improvement in several of the
  hardly at their best. The most noticea ble were: Mialmo. Mohawk, Crosspatch, Hot Stun, SwinnertOn, Rathbone and Prince Hal All will go to the slips again al one or the other of t.-e parks to-day, an6 even better work will doubtless be shown
 Picking the final winner at Union Park this week will tax the ability of the shrewdest. Curtis & Son, the Pasha ken nels and D. ". Sullivan look to have the big end of the game with some one of their numerous candidates, but the sport of coursing Is fraught with much uncer- tainty.
 The record of winnings at Ingeside since the opening of the year shows q string of greyhounds to be Q valuable holding. The Dean stable has been the most profitable, MOondyne having wor sIO92 50. Connemara $799. Gladiator s66O Mialmo $444 and Brilliantine $2 50; total $2SSS. Lowe & Thompson's kennel is also well up. with d gross winning Of S1599. ot which Patria landed SS99, Victor $217 50 High Born Lady $202 50.

Hooper for $972, Lynch & Maher for S520 30. J. Byrnes for s502 50 and Larkey &e Rock for S4S2 50. Besides the foregoing, too, all the owners named have won various sums at Union Park Dean, Larkey SS Rock and Hooper having landed stakes therein.
 Lowe < Thompson are giving Sir Will '1ul his first run at Union Park to-day. The big dog should make a good show ing.
 The field at Inglesde has been gone over during the week and is in almost perfect condition. The running will prob- ably be much improved in conseQuence
 l.. ". Sullivan has seven candidates at Union Park to-day Curtis & Sons and the PaSha kennels are close up each with i've while R. E. de B. Lopez bases his hopes on four.
 The drawing for next weeks sport at lnglesldde will take place at Pythian Hall next Thursday night, instead of Friday Thursday will also continue to be the night Of future drawings.
 E. R. Smith and Charles Dryden of Los Angeles are negotiating for several long tails at both Ingleside and Union Parks. They will probably take back with them, next week, considerable string.
