aged stake for next Sunday, IS nomination
fee. open TO all Corners and gOers. II was
the original intention OF the club to limit
the stake to visiting coursers. This was
meant as a courtesy. but the local dogs
have proven so soft a thing for the visitors

begged that the st. Louis dogs be allowed
to come in.
