The impending general reopening of
the English Chancery case with reference
to the Coghlan fortune, in which a sum
of three-quarters of a million of money is
involved. is awaited with intense interest
by the Irish claimants, some $50 in num-
Der, all of whom in the legitimate line
originally belonged to the District Of
Banagher Some are now in Dublin and
others scattered over the world. Among
them is a gentleman from America who
is of the same name as the intestate, and
who claims to be grand nephew on the
male side. He spent many months
searching for proofs, oral and written, in
support of his claim to be considered the
nearest Legitimate male descendant. If

fortune equitably among all bona fide
claimants.
On Sunday, in summer-like weather
and before a large number of spectators,
a one-day tournament, organized by the
Dolphin Gaelic Athletic Club, was
brought to very successful issue at
Clonskeagh. The ground was in SPLEEN
did condition, the spectators orderly and
the play all that could be desired. Mr.
McNamee, Secretary of the Dolphin

smack and smooth. The field is nicely

R. Nicholson. A. McKeogh, Hugh Nc
Carly and McNamee, of the County Dub

The Kilmannock County Wexford
meeting last week furnished very good
coursing, taken all round, the only draw
back being the scarcity of hares in the
marshes, but this was mainly due 10 the
heavy rain of the previous Monday
which drove large quantity of game to
the uplands, and consequently hares
were difficult to get at When the first
days proceedings closed one found it
hard to believe that game could be OBJ
tanned for the morrow, but as proof that
the hares were about, matters progressed
with greater speed on the second day,
for long time at least. Kilmannock
will again become a favorite meeting
with coursers, for trails of the most legiti-
mate order are obtainable on the flats,

after the preserves, no fears need be en-
tertained on the score of lack of game.
The members of the club in New Ross,
too, are of the right stamp. No better
men could be found to work a meeting
than Messrs. Kenny, Kelly Murphy and
K. +. Phelan, of Waterford.
