CoURSING

There was an unusually large crowd at
Agricultural park yesterday to witness the
racing between the hares and hounds and
an excellent days sport was afforded them.
The barley-fed rabbits are running races
from os,e end OF the field to the other There
Is no such thing as a short course any
more. Manager Black has now divided the
paddock. or more properly, the warren, for
the rabbits into sections and during race
week the whole fenced-fn enclosure will
come down and be replaced on Sundays
for the usual coursing.
The plan Of boxing the rabbits In large.
airy pens and releasing them as drawn for
each race has also proved great innova-
ton. The boxes prevent the constant driv-
ing of the hares in the warren and conse-
quently the rabbits are in splendid shape to
run.
Kitty Scott was given a new blue silk
blanket yesterday by lady admirer, ard
. movement is on foot to present that
great dog Orpheum Lass with a solid silver
collar In token of the excellent work done
during the past few weeks.
The winning Of Lille b. OF the finals yes
terday was q great surprise.
Libertine. formerly Fireball. made great
showing and beat the far-famed Crow Dog.
Moloch a late arrival from Cottonwood,

fore very long what good blood and speed
can do from the corn state"
Crow Dog showed improvement and his
feet are on the road to recovery.
Innocent Daisy rum truer than usual.

The following in reference to the great
dog For Freedom is from San Francisco
paper and Is Of more than passing inter-
este on account Of Mr.. Rosstter's recent
visit here: ~. H. Rossiter's For Freedom
still keeps up his wonderful running form.
He was In the Champion stake at Union
park ON the 10th and 11th Of the month,
and as usual with him, he galloped over
all opposition and for the sixth consecu-
tive time since he came to this country
took first prize"
"For Freedom IL merely the result Of
honest, conscientious training" said Ros-
sitter, and his advice, given several train
ers here, should be needed.
