remarks was that if Mr.. NOalls OF any

their dogs off the field.
Rabbits Not Strong.
The rabbits yesterday were a scrubby
lot, only two or three of them giving tnt
dogs course. There are some who say
the rabbits will be in better shape 10y
Monday when the Futurity starts, which
is devOutly hoped by cOursing men Tht
puppies cannot outrun the rabbits as the
old dogs can and do. AS a matter
fact, such dogs as Walla Walla and Har
pooh and Lady Athlete are not giver
half a chance after the slip ard the run
up, SO poorly do the rabbits work.
Entry List Large.
There will be seventy-eight pairs in ia,
Futurity, which is the puppy stake. tha'

lars will be in the schedule of winning
A week from Monday Will begin In,

is only one greater event than the Wa

of cOursing men in this country is thai
they will produce and progress dogs far
enough to entitle them 10 entrance in tht
