GREAT COURSING EVENT
AT INGLESIDE PARK
PROBABLE WINNERS OF THE
FIRST RUN DOWN.
Champion Dogs From Eastern States
to Run Against Bread-Win-
ners Of California.

The directors of the Ingleside Coursing
Club have concluded at last to make
much needed improvements in the park
where thousands Of dollars have been
won and lost.
Good judging, faultless slipping and ex-
cellent hares, are the three things which
have made Ingleside Park the favorite
place Of amusement Of the thousands of
pleasure seekers who have a prediction
for coursing. Weekly the crowds grow
larger, and consequently space is at a
premium on Sunday afternoons, when the
game is In full blast. It is with the OBJ
ject Of giving the patrons of coursing
something better than elbow room" that
the park officials contemplate extensive
improvements. They are very we'll pleas
ed that there is another park in existence
within easy distance of the city, as under
the present conditions they could not at
tempt to accommodate the many people
who have become educated to the grand
old game.
1t will be no easy matter to handle
the immense gathering of sport lovers
dog stake match. which will be inaugu-
rated to-day and finished on Sunday
Count Won Halpin, says, that there is no
meeting will be recorded in the coursing
history of the State as being the most
successful and interesting affair of its
kind that has been attempted since in
closed coursing was introduced. The
counts opinion cannot be gainsaid.
John Charlton, secretary of the Ameri-
time his grand bitch Dolly Warden, and
some anxiety will prevail among the bet
ting fraternity, as she is drawn in the
stake to meet H. Lynch's very fast young
bitch Lottie NJ. Another new one to APP
pear on this occasion will be E. M. KEEL
logg's Iowa Boy. Coursing men can rest
assured that this aspirant for honors will
be brought to slips as fit as a fiddle.
Russell and Wilson are running a pair
of real good ones, namely, Lady Herschell
and Lady Emma. The latter bitch, tmme-
diately after arriving here two weeks ago.
hit the talent so hard that the boys are
not likely to forget her name for some
time.
: Handy and Smith are running a string
of corkers: greyhounds that have won
stakes both In Eastern meetings and in
California. Smith and Sweeney, their
trainers, never run dog until he is right.
A. Massey has pair that the wise ones
will have to look out for-that Is, the old
reliable and several times stake winner
performer Lightfoot, bitch that has set
many prizes in the East to her credit.
A. l.. Sears is in with another good one
named Hotstuff.
In the rundown Of the stake there are
openings for the knowing ones to fall in
deep. Miss Grizzle will doubtless sell on
the short end in her race against Eclipse,
but If the dog is in anything like good
shape he is very liable TO raise flag. -.
