CRACK GREYHOUNDS
FOR COURSING SEASON
Purchased Two England
Fine Litters.
,RITTEN For THE SUNDAY REpUBL1c

WRITTEN FOR THE SUNDAY REPUBLIC.
While the present unendurably hot wealth
or continues. it Is an unpleasant matter for
even the most enthusiastic dog fancier to
attempt to anticipate the prospects for
coursing in ST. Louis during the coming
season. Yet there seems to be no lack of
healthy interest among followers Of the
sport, and as soon as the weather moder-
ates sufficiently to permit training without
killing the dogs, boom, in the game
may be expected.
The new Pastime Club, which was recent
ly organized, comprises men Of wealth in
commercial pursuits, who are associated
with persons Of great experience in local
Coursing. They are expected to do much TO
raise the standard of the sport in st. Louis.
The principal disadvantage under which the
club labors is the lack CT grounds large
enough for big stake events. but this defect
has been remedied in part by the addition
OF forty yards of extra turf at the clubs
preserves near De Hodiamont.
The gentlen en- interested in the project
are DESTROYS, above all else. Of making the
venture success from the sportsman's
point of view. This spirit is indorscd by
every lover of the game in st. Louis, and
they expect to be substantially supported
by the greyhound owners with an increased
number of entries in the two big stakes
the Waterloo Cup and the American Derby.
The principal interest among coursing men
at present lies in the recent litters. which
will produce the new dogs that will run
his year. Roland Menown has five black
and white pups by the late Emin Pasha, out
of White Wings. They are fine-looking
