Win Send on His Kennel
to Winter in California

The PROSPEROUS condition Of the coursin
game in California has attracted the at
tentiOn Of Eastern leashmen- The pred-c-
ton is generally made among local adVo-
Gates of the sport that the PICK OF the
crack coursers from the other side OF the
Rockies will be sent on to compete dur
ing the winter months for our rlch
stakes.
Climatic and other conditions advance
the idea Of such proposition and the OUT
look for the Fastener is pleasant except
on the point of easy winnings. The game
sportsmen of the East and the Middle
West have some well bred and fast grey
hounds which are looked upon at home
as champions. When pitted against the
campaigners Of the local kennels the in
vaders will find themselves in class
notch or two above anything they have
met.
G.. Lacy Crawford, young millionaire
1eashnan. and an enthusiastic member OF
the Pastime Coursing Club of St Louis,
has signihed his intention Of giving his
best dogs a try with the class hounds Of
this State. He has about completed ar
rangements to ship his star performers
here for the winter. That means that
within a few weeks the dogs will be en-
tered in the stakes at Union Courslhs
The Crawford kennel enjoys the reputa-
ton of having the best lot or greynoundS
now running in the East on its list and
with this addition to the fast aggregation
Of colIrsers local patrons of the sport can
look forward to lively winter IN cOurs-
