THE KAIsERs TRAVEL MONEY

A lively controversy Is raging in Berlin just now as to where the money Is to come from to defray the co1t of the Kaisers approaching visit to Jerusalem
 Even though his Majesty is to go as a Cooks tourist, the expense entailed by the expedition will be very considerable, and as. all the world knows, the imperial priyy purse is by no means too well filled at the present time. There Is rumor that the Kaiser may ask his subjects to come to his assistance in the matter. and in consideration of the advantages that may accrue to the em-ire from his stay in the East add to his civil list special grant in aid this year. If he be well ad- vised, however, he will think twice,,nay. thrice-before doing anything of the kind
 for Judging by the tone in which the sub jectt tt is being discussed his chance of .ob- how persuasively Dr: von Miguel may plead for him. Indeed. bitter complaints are already to be heard on all sides as to the way the civil list has increased in income is more than twice. as large as that which the old Kaiser had. and yet he is always in sore need of money, to the infinite dismay of his neese-paring Prussians, who cannot conceive what he does with his income.-Pall Mall Gazette.

The knowing ones put up a $5 gold piece against three silver dollars to show their faith in Brutus. They may still have the faith, but the admirers of the Rose of Tralee have their gold.

Under the skillful handling of the latter he showed much improved form. His per- formance in the second heat, which he won in 2:20, was said by horsemen in at- tendance to be equal to 2:10, the track be- ing estimated as ten seconds slow

INGLEsIDE CoURsING. Fleet Hounds and lively flares Make
 the Sport Lively.

Despite the many attractions of the day Ingleside Coursing Park was well patron ized yesterday by those who enjoy the sport furnished by fleet hounds and lively hares. Those who attended were not dis appointed, for the hares were as good a lot as ever came from the plains of Mer- ced, and in the beginning not a few es- caped to the shelters. Taken as whole the dogs were in good form, although few caused their owners some disappoint- ment. The officers were: John Grace, judge; James Grace, slipper; William Hal pin, slip steward John Sheehan, flag steward; P; J. Kelly and T. McHugh,
 The programme was larger than usual, 122 dogs being booked for the three days events, on which there is $1365 prize money. Yesterday there were forty-two events in the maiden stakes. To-day the sapling stakes will be run,. together with the hold-overs of yesterdays races.
 Although the sport began a little after noon it was almost dark before the last course was run. Annexed are the results of the days racing:

SURPRISES FOR
 DOG PACKERS Interesting CourSing in the Two Parks.

The patrons of Union Coursing Park were given an exceptionally good card yesterday, and those who guessed the surprises returned home in a happy frame of mind with their pockets we'll laden with silver and gold. The losers who played form" didn't have "the same old smile that indicates the win ner, and on the train back to the city discussed just how and why they didn't win. They indulged in wild speculation and wilder theories, but when they got through there was only one verdict to render, and that was that they failed to bet on the winning hound. Form Is all right, but form does not always count at the pool box when the tickets are be- ing cashed.

The star surprise of the day was Snap shot' in the second round. He was over- looked like white chip in faro game, and but few took him at the great odds of g to l with Rock Island Boy on the long end It took less than minute to settle the match. Snapshot showed from the start that he was sure Snap shot" and those who put up dollar on him received $10 in return, minus the commission of the pool sellers Riot Act also fooled the talent in the first round. Petronius was strong favorite at odds of to 2, but he didn't appear to be in the course from start to finish. Riot Act carried off the honors without any ap- parent trouble, and the packers of Petro- nius went off into secluded spots to read

The Second Game.

The second game was a great battle between great pitchers. George Borch- CTS and Silent" Harvey were both in great form and strengthened out to do a little better than their best Both men were very effective, and while the ball was frequently touched. base hits were as scarce as hens teeth.
 Up to the first seven innings neither team had got man across the plate. In their half of that inning, with two men on bases, Muller of Stockton lined out a two-bagger, scoring Billings and

HARNESS RACES
 AT |NGLES|DE Golden Gate Park DriV- ing Association.

The autumn meeting of Golden Gate Park Driving Association was opened yesterday at Ingleside track. The attend ance was the largest in the history of the association, and the racing was of the highest class. The track was slow for the trotters and pacers, but excellent time was recorded in several events.
 The day was all that could be desired, there being no chill in the atmosphere even when the last race was called. So much was offered in the way of sport that it was dusk when the horses finished in the last heat. The fields were large in
