ing parks relative to running the An
nual California COursing Committee
stake. The park offering the best in
| ducements will get the stake. This

for the benefit of the committee. The
i park that makes the largest offer for
this event will have full sway on that

! four-dog stake Each member will do
his utmost to secure the strongest

of the select dogs together.

turity for wheIps of 1908 and the Amer
lean Waterloo Cup will be opened Au-

at Friend. Nebr., will likely secure
/ the first event. The newly organized
Chicago club will bid for the Ameri-
/ can Waterloo Cup. Several wealthy
men are behind this club and it's bids
1 might possibly secure Doth events
The Mississippi Valley Futurity causes
much interest among breeders. In the
/ last running OF this stake 128 dogs
/ were entered from different parts OF
/ the country and the event resulted in
some Of the greatest trials OF young
hounds ever held.
/ One of the best betting events Of the
! season will take place at Ingleside
/ COursing Park when Doreen and Lily
/ Wright are to hook up in a match
! race for the best three out Of five
/ courses. These fleet dogs have met on
] several occasions, each dog gaining a
victory over the other, and II has be-
| come a toss up as to which hound is
| the better. The owner Of each hound
is so sanguine that his charge Is the
| one that a match for 500 a side was
made as the result and the association
added to the purse.
Any doubt about the relative merits
| of the dogs should be removed after
! Sunday. as three wins for either should
| be fair test. The hares at the pres
| ent time are in such strong form that
excellent trials should result. The fol-
/ lowing are the probable winners at
