The coursing at both parks to-day and Tomorrow embraces the largest number or candidates ever run at one time in the history of the sport on this coast
 The stakes are identical as to class, an ail-age' open event and sapling feature being scheduled at both Ingleside and Unlon parks. At Union Park sixty-eight performers will contest for the coin and at lngleside the aggregation of long tails includes no less than seventy-two of the clean-limbed flyers. There will be hot sport among the leashmen before the last flag goes up tomorrow night. The run ming at both parks commences at the usual hour, with the sapling stake in the slips.
 Many improvements have been made at lngleside during the week that will add to the sport appreciably. The field has been thoroughly raked and softened The slight knoll al the easterly end has been leVeled down, and the dogs will hereafter be slipped from the southeasterly corner. The running will be thus brought almost directly in front of the grand stand
 There will be several performers from Sacramento at Union Park to-day It may be that they will land within the money line, but they will hardly reach the top.
 The all-age stake at Ingleside to-day embraces some of the best stock that ever flew over grass. The inltlal course IS between the great Mialmo and Sinaloa Connemara is also in the game; so is Pa tria, Mystic Maid, Susie Log Boy, Glad iator, Firenzi, Seminole, Glenroy and many other top notchers.

 The Call was very successful in it's se- lections last Saturday and Sunday at both of the parks, and those who played the tips returned home happy
 Of course there will always be an oc- casional course which will destroy the best laid plans of mice or men. Some times very poor hare will be liberated in front of a brace of dogs, and by poor slip or through some unfortunate occur renee the better dog in all respects is thrown out. But with good hares, good slipping and good judging, the fanciers who keep a good line on the dogs can al- ways count upon success in betting.
 Coursng is an honest and decidedly pleasant pastime when it is conducted in a straightforward manner, and The Call takes pleasure In being able to state that there is ample room for two coursing parks within easy distance of the city so long as the managers of the demesneS will continue as they are now doing to keep the sport from pollution and above the finger of suspicion.
