WOULD RUN
THE AMERICAN
WATERLOO HERE
Local LeaShmen Will Strive to
Secure Next Years ClaS-
sic Event.

The coursing men of California will
make a strong effort to have the Ameri-
can Waterloo, one of the classic events
in the coursing year, held in this State
next season. The stake will be run this
year on the goth inst. on an inclosed
field at Dallas, Texas. Only two Califor-
MIA dogs-Emin Pasha and Metallic-of
Pasha Kennels will be in the running.
John Halton, who has gone on to the
meeting, is commissioned to invite the
American Coursing Board to run off its
greatest event in this State next year.
The sport on this coast has outgrown
that of the East. While the added money
| for the American Waterloo is only 5000
Ingleside and Union Park each add near
ly $500 or more every week in the year.
Union Park adds over $1,000 this week to
mark it's one hundredth coursng meeting.
One hundred and forty-four dogs will go
to the slips in two stakes. 1t seems each
week that the highest class dogs have
been entered, but this stake towers above
all others in quality.
Ingleside Coursing Club was largely
represented on Thursday at the funeral Of
John Eagan, old time coursing man.
Mr.. Eagan owned some notable perform
ers, the best of them being Mayhower.
He also owned Sly Girl, another brilliant
performer, before coursing had developed
into a business proposition. OF the dogs
which ran in his name in recent years
Billy Gladstone was considered the best.
duce stake.
Sterl & Knowles will start Frosty
Morn, their latest Australian Importation,
at Union Park this week. He is a brin-
die dog of good size and quality and
should equal the performances of the
| same firms imported Sleety Mist on the
field.
The most notable sale of greyhounds
ever made on this coast was that effected
by D. ]. Healy of Petaluma during the
past week He disposed of six of his
/ Il vNO1r. IL,
! Gold, O'Hara. For Glory Amarosa, Oleta
and Ripple. All except the latter two
| have been thoroughly tried out and have
shown themselves to be high-class per-
formers. The dogs are running in the
name of Sterl & Knowles, but the pur-
chaser is said to be a woman who has
taken a deep interest in coursing. Before
purchasing the Healey dogs she offered
Tim Cronin 5000 for Wild Traiee or $1,000
for Wild TraIee and Thornhill. The of
fer was declined.
This sale indicates that the commercial
side of coursing is just beginning to as
sumo prominence and old time leashmen
find it difficult to embrace the new order
of affairs. In the past money was sell
dom paid for dogs, most of them being
secured in trade or as gifts.
Secretary Nichols. of the American
Coursing Board will come to this coast
for the plains meeting of the Interstate
| Coursing Club. Mr.. Handy of the cours-
ing firm of Handy & Smith is also ex-
pected here with string of dogs.
Ralph Taylor left on Thursday night
for his home in Emporia, Kans. He is
expected back before the 1st Of Novom-
Der.
