Brilliant Sport at Union Coursing Park Spoiled Toward the End by a Very Heavy Fog. Rosette, the speedy black daughter of Emin Pasha sigpalized her return to form by winning the open stake handily at Union Coursing Park yesterday. Among the dogs she retired in various Grasshopper, Tounds of the stake were: Douglas, Magnet, Maud S (her Kkennel mate), and finally Metallic, the imported English dog, property of J. H. Rosseter. Coupled with the manner with which Rosette performed throughout the day, s the remarkable consistency shown by all the dogs sporting the colors of Curtis & Son. Of the four dogs left for the next %o the final round three represented their ken As an illustration how blod will tell, it is only necessary to say that these are all brothers and sisters, being by Emin Pasha-Rockette. J. H. Rosseter pinned his faith to Firm Friend, who, however, was hardly in the running. He worked his way into the hird round, where he was retired by 1iiiers Maid. The hare favored the Mald and after an_extremely long course she secured the decision. For a time it appeared that the final course would not be necessary, as it was thought Cavalier would retire Metallic, thus leaving the three dogs of Curtls & Son in. When the dogs met, however, Metallic led to the hare, secured the turn and won, shutting out Cavalier. The ike then lay between Rosette and ie. They opened evens in the betting, but Rosette was soon installed favorite, the odds lengthening to & to 3. The result was never in doubt from the moment the dogs left the slips. led in a straight run up and killed, win- ning the stake.

There was a large crowd in attendance vesterday at the Ingleside Coursing Park to witness the competition for the cham- pion and non-winners’ stake. The hares were unusually fleet, the weather in the | earlier part of the day fine, and had it not been for the big banks of fog that rolled In from the ocean toward the close of the day’s sport it might have been one of the most successtul day's coursing this year. The non-winners” stake was captured by Lottie M in handy fashion, but the finals in the champion stake between mara and Billy Gladstone were post- poned by Judge Grace until next Sunday on acount of the fog.

Sylvia News- s mas. onley beat Vict, Roval Oak_ beat ystematic; Little i Soubrette beat Newsboy. be L M The Contestants Raced Around the Seal Rocks—Good Programmes at the Park, Cliff and Chutes. Sutro’s Baths was the Mecca of pleas- ure-seekers yesterday. The park, the Cliff House and the Chutes all had their attractions, but the swimming contests at the baths drew the crowds. The feature of the programme was a swim over a, course of something over a mile, which carried the contestants far and beyond the Beal Rocks. $Sid Cavill, champion of Australia, and Roger B. Cornell, cham- plon rough-water swimmer of the Pacific Coast, were billed to make the swim, and thousands of spectators assembled at the baths and along the beach to witness the match.

In the belts worn by the swimmers keen- edged dirss were secured. arms with which to fight off inquisitive seals and combative sea lions. The contestants plowed their way through the surf to the starting li and when they were abreast of it Edward Mowry, judge of aquatic| contests, fired his revolver and the race was on. Cavill, who defeated Cornell in | a 220-yard dash the preceding week, was a | strong favorite. He was “leary” of the currents and eddies, however, and fell in | behind Cornell in order that the local man might pick out the proper course and avoid danger, When opposite the Seal Rocks a number of seals dropped with a splash_into the water and m rapidly toward the contestants, who, in accord- | | ance with a prearranged plan, closed up | in order to assist each other in case of an | attack. Morris ssehn, a boatman, whose services were secured to follow the swim- | mers, also shot his skiff up in order to | | tend ‘a helping hand, but it was not re- quired. The seals were simply inquisitive, | and after following for fifty yards or so | turned and swam back to the rocks. Cor- nell then took the lead again. Both men | swam splendidly fn the swell, but Cavill en seemed to be taking things easy. | within a hundred yards of the shore he | easily closed u- the gap between himself and his opponent, and looked as though | he would prove an_ easy winner. The swimmers neared the beach, and Cavill turned to await an incoming breaker to | carry him to s.ore. Cornell did not. He | struggled on. When the breaker lifted Cavill up onto the sands Cornell was eight or ten feet ahead, and was declared the winner. Cornell's’ victory was applauded by thousands of spectators, many of whom expected to see him left far in the wake of the Australian champlon. Next Sunday Cavill and Cornell will | swim 880 yards in the big tank in the baths. This will be the deciding contest. Cavill won the first, Cornell came out victor yesterday, and to which the medal and purse will go will be known next Sunday. In the fifty-yard dash handicap race for novices E. Denny won and H. Searight took second prize. R. Dahl won the un- der-water swimming contest, and was | awarded a silver medal for his victory. In the aerial diving contest, open only to professionals, Fred Green of this city car- ried off the purse. The programmes at the Park, Clff and Chutes were exceptionally good. —_—————————— America and the Philippines. “America’s Privilege in the Phillp- plnes” was presented by Rev. H. T. Shepard at Olivet Congregational Church, Seventeenth and Noe streets, vesterday morning in an Interesting sermon, in which he held that the American people owe it to the Philippines that they shall | not be returned to the merciless arms of | their false and unnatural foster mother, | Spain. | ““This is the least we can do,” he sald, | “and be true to ourselves. We have en- | couraged_the Luzon insurgents to expect | | freedom from Spain’s misrule. They, like the Cubans, have been oppressed. If| | starvation has been less in the Philip-| | pines than in_Cuba, extortion and moral degradation have been greater. The American people will be criminally false to their trust and morally weak if they | consent to a return of the islands to | Spain, thus leading them back to the | door 6f commercial and moral death.” | ADVERTISEMENTS.
