CoURsING

Coursing was the attraction, as usual,
at Agricultural park yesterday afternoon
and drew the customary large crowds.
Several new dogs appeared in the field and
two or three OF the old favorites. 1t is
becoming impossible to accommodate all
the entries, and it would be easy to get
about twice the number Of dogs to run if
time would permit 1t. Every obstruction
has been removed from the field now, which
makes it possible for every part of the
course to be seen.
Yesterday D. v. II. broke the record as
far as points are concerned, scoring 80, the
largest number which has been made pre-
viously being &C. During the intermission
there was funny race between two fox
terriers, Fritz and Swipes. The little dogs
ran finely and caught the hare, Fritz win
ming.
The management of the park has changed
hands during the past week, when a syndi-
cate headed by c., Il. DeCamp purchased
f, d. Blacks interest in the park lease, and
the coursing yesterday was under their
management, Mr. Bacchus acting as super
intendent of the grounds. Black still re-
tains the pooling privileges.
4. Flag Steward Munton used an elegant
pair of new silk flags, which were pre-
sented by Mrs. Black as a mark of appre-
citation of his valuable services.

w. A. Endley OF the Walkerton, Ind,
Independent, furnishes the following ac-
count of the affair: 'svern w. Hardenbrock
OF this place, champion amateur heavy
weight boxer OF Indiana, spared four
rounds with Kid MoCoy at Fort Wayne
Friday evening, March 18th. Mccoy was to
stop Hardenbrook In four rounds, but
Hardenbroolz stayed with him to the limit
aud forced the Kid TO fight his hardest
Hardenbrook forced Kid Mccoy into the
ropeS three times and knocked him down
once. Hardenbrook was g. lttle groggy at
the end Of the fight but he was in poor
condition. having received but short notice
of tha contest. Hardenbrooks showing
is considered quite remarkable under the
circumstances Mccoy told a party of
friends that Hardenbrook was one Of the
hardest men he ever went against, and
that with proper training he would ba a
tough customer to deal with. The contest
took place before the Fort Wayne Athletic
club in the presence Of 1900 people and fol-
lowed the bout between Mccoy and J. j.
Bates of Chicago, the latter being knocked
out in two minutes and thirty-two Sec
onds."
entertaining and hard work in contlnu-
ally preparing for fights have so run Joe
Choynski down In health that he will have
to take a long rest by the advice of his ply
stefan, DIR. John Gallwey. The overtrair-
ing shows itself In boils that have come out
on his left arm and right shoulder. They
became so painful and infamed that yes
terday DR.. Gallwey lanced them to avoid
blood poisoning.
Kid Mccoy is In active training for his
fight with Jack Bonner at New Orleans
after which he will prepare at once for his
match with Gus Ruhlinl Mccoy will do
part Of his training for the contest in the
gymnasium at Dayton, but will perform
most Of his outdoor work in the neighbor-
hood of San Francisco. He will be accom-
panied to the Pacific coast by his mother
and newly acquired wife.
O o O
Rubin says he will weigh not over ten
or fifteen pounds more than Mccoy, and
that he will give the latter the closest call
of his existence If he fails to conquer him.
The eastern papers are getting suspicious
of the kid" and say there is wrong look
about his match with Rubin A couple
of weeks ago Mccoy was casting slurs at
San Francisco. and speaking of fakes. He
said he would not come to San Francisco
Last week he was quoted as sayins that lie
would leave Springfield o., early in April
for San Francisco, as his fight with Rubin
would take place here. This indicates
that the kid has no intention of fighting
Rubin, and that he merely signed with
him as he was afraid to meet Maher The
fight is not to take place in this city, and
SO far as known there. Mccoy is not COM
ing out this way.

LETTER wHEAT-DEAL LOSSES.

Another Large Loan on Real Estate.
 Chicago, July 20.Another large indi- vidual loan on real estate has been completed by L. z. Letter on his Clark street property. It is for $3,000,000 at per cent. to the Northwestern Mutual Life Insurance company. The final pa- pers will be filed within few days. This makes $5,10O,000 raised by him within thirty days on his real estate. The $2,100,000 was secured from his State and Madison street property. This, taken with the s3,000,000 in secur- ities put up in April to save the wheat deal of Joseph Letter, makes $S, 1000 900. Figuring. his profits at S3,5,000,000 which bankers admit he had at one time, although some claimed that he had s, 100000 to $7,000,000, it makes the Letter losses in the wheat deal $11 ,600,- 900.
 There is said to be considerable sums owing to commission houses and others rot secured which the elder Letter has not guaranteed, but it is believed will eventually be paid. The trade here have only secured a small part of the money lost. It went to the farmers for high priced wheats and abroad on wheat shipped there. All the Letter wheat here and in the East and about all in English markets has been dispos- ed of. There is good quantity on the continent and about 3,000, ,000 bushels in the Northwest unsold. Of the total holdings in the northwest 50 per cent has been disposed of.
