Coursing Now Popular.

There was great Disappointment yes
terday because there was no coursing.
Unfortunately the hares ordered from
California did not arrive in time and it
was necessary to postpone the scheduled
stake until next Sunday. There will not
only be hares in plenty at the local park
by that time, but the little animals will
have become familiar enough with the
ground to make them fast. The disap-
pointment of yesterday is a good argu-
ment in favor of the fact that Butte is
enthusing owe rcoursing. 1t is crafty
ing to the promoters of the sport to see
that an interest in coursing is gradually
increasing. Those who have labored
hard and assiduously to make the sport
appreciated are certainly deserving of
the reward they are now reaping. They
have been to considera bic trouble and
expense and all purely from sport
viewpoint and nothing else. They have
labor ,, to show Butte, that the sport
they are fostering is clean and honest
and that they succeeding is best evil
denced by the fact that the public is in
terested and disappointed when they fail
to get what they now look forward to,
with pleasure.

For a Minute.

During the seige of Mafeking the
trenches had grown very close to each
other; in fact, so near that conversa-
tons could be shouted across the inter-
vening space. An Englishman called
out
Hey! I say! one of you Beers stand
up and III take a photograph OF YOU"
Have you got camera?'' came back
the reply in good English.
Yes

Yes
You wont shoot me if stand up,

Pass it along down the line"
The word was passed down the line
and soon it was shouted back that it
was all right. At that a young Boer
about % arose out of the trenches and
stood. buttoning his jacket in full view.
Strengthening his six feet three inches
he smiled pleasantly and said to the
Englshman with the camera, who had

Great Meet at Saratoga.

The Saratoga Jockey club is making
active preparations for its meeting.
which will begin August 5th. This is a
great racing center, especially from
climatic standpoint, but the meetings Of
late years have been badly managed.
Last winter some of the leading spirits
of the Jockey club, headed by August
Belmont, obtained control of the Iack.
and this will be the first meeting under
their management. With such men In
control they are sure to give the sport
a prestige which it has not heretofore
enjoyed. The best stables which raced
at Chicago are headed towards Saratoga
and with those which go up yearly from
New York there ought to be enough rae
ing timber to give splendid meeting.
In addition to being an ideal summer
racing spot Saratoga is famous for
resting point. Many horsemen take their
stables there to rest and build them up.
There is no better water in the world.
1t is reported that the gambling houses,
which hun wide open there, have been
the means Of closing all the pool rooms.

THE JAW OF LOVE IS THE LAW OF GOD And l Say Unto You, Ask, and It Shall Be Given
 You"

And I say unto you, Ask and 1t shall be given you; seek and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you.
 For every one that asketh rcceiveth; and he that seeketh findeth; and to him that knocketh, it shall be opened"
 These passages from the Gospel Ac- cording to St. Luke were, in effect, the triumphant note in the sermon of the Rev. Father o'Reilly in St. Paul's Cath olic church at high mass yesterday morn ing.
 The learned and beloved priest was never more eloquent. Ills plea for the peace of the faith rung through the great church and thrilled the great congrega- ton that ever gathers there under his ministration.
 ''The law of God is the eternal truth for you and me, and it is the only means under heaven whereby there may be hap piness in this life.' the priest cried.
 And that note was the note of his preaching. Wonderfully calm, he spoke with wonderful earnestness. He voiced the law of the Holy Catholic Church. he declared, and that was the law Of right eousness, of brotherhood, of all-embrac- ing human love under Divine Providence, and not one of the faithful might dis- obey that lawl The law of God is the law of human love.
 During the offertory Anton Kaspar, the violinist who received an ovation at Miss Carrie Bridewells concert Friday night, played Handefs tuneful Largo" It was not only performed in musicianly style but 1t was | revelation.
 Such breadth and such purity of tone as MT. Kaspar produces are not often heard. and no virtuoso of the present time perhaps surpasses this master In either poetic sentiment or finish. But whilst his playing is characterized by refined senti- ment it is always virile. Every note of the Largo was sonorous and the ex- quisite, shadowy ending was played with the same fine temperament as the body Of the piece.
 The rare old Guarnerius over which he drew his bow may have had much to dc with the beauty of Kaspar's playing But this artist would have doubtless made an inferior instrument sing, 80 mas terful is his work.
 A large congregation attended the May devotions at St. Paurs at o'clock in the afternoon but owing to the rain Father O'Reilly decided not to have the Jubilee procession The next jubilee de- votions are announced to take place on the afternoon of Ascension Day.

HATE TO LOSE CONVEN TON

Age-H Herald Bureau, Clancey's Hotel, Montgomery, May 12.-fSpecial. )-Mont- gomerians are still discussing the new hotel proposition, and the discussion takes on an air of earnestness since the proposition by Delegate Kyle of Etowah to adjourn the Constitutional Convention to Birmingham.
 This proposition has touched Montgom- erians as would no other, for to make resident of this city grow green-eyed, one has but to speak in praise of Bir- mingham as the superior of Montgom- cry. It has been thought that there would be a possibility of two modern hotels here within the next few years, new one to be erected at once, and the historic Exchange to be remodeled at the expiration of Lessee Vests term of lease. The stockholders of the Exchange have created the impression that they were anxious to remodel their building, but that the price asked by MT. West for a surrender of his lease was all too ex- horbitant. MT. West, talking with rep resentative of the Age-Herald today, said that no party interested had ap- preached him upon the subject of his lease, and so anxious is he for a new hotel and the improvement of the city that he Is willing to at once surrender his lease. This statement by MT. West may have some change upon the hotel committee of the Commercial Club, which Is to make it's report at the annual meet ing of the association next Tuesday
 Tn speaking of the matter of a new ho- %1I n D 70 Al Exchange Hotel, said that his lease for three years on that property could in no way interfere with the Improvements which have been discussed through the newspapers.
 ''The newspapers have several times referred to my lease on the Exchange property as probable interference with the proposed Improvements" said Mir West Now, should like for the pub lic to distinctly understand that my lease In no manner stands in the way of any Improvements the company may wish tn make. have the interests of Mont gomery as much at heart as any other resident, and want to see the city progress. All of my interests are here and that which will benefit the city will naturally benefit me"
 MT. Vests attention was called to the fact that persons interested in new hotel had publicly stated that he was demanding exhorbitant prices for his lease.
 T am unable to see the grounds for such claims,' MT. West responded. why, not a single person connected with any scheme for g. new hotel has approached me with any proposition connected with my lease. I state em- phaticany that when any proposition is made me for the surrender of the lease, il win have my careful consideration. only want fair play, and do not propose that the promoters of a new hotel shall shelve in this manner the responsibility for a first-class modern hotel building on me-"
