The two bitches were slipped to a straightaway hare, and Maud S took the lead and killed before the turn, making | the score, by Judge Grace's system of counting, 3 to 0. Mercy May has been running several years, but it is only in the past month that she has shown speed. | The defeat of Gladlator, who was looked | upon as the stake winner by many, by Victor Queen was a sad blow to the “tal- ent,” who backed him heavily.

LOS ANGELES, March 26.—Threaten- ing weather this morning had the effect of somewhat reducing the crowd at the coursing at Agricultural Park, but toward noon it cleared up and there was a fair attendance during the afternoon. The programme consisted of a thirty-two dog open stake, with a consolation purse for the dogs beaten in the rundown. In the Maiden second, Moloch third and Moun- In the consolation Occidental took first money, with A B C second, Barry Sulli- van third and Lassie Hays fourth. On the whole the ‘‘short-enders” fared well, the talent being dumped heavily in geveral events. Orpheum Lass was unfor- tunate and dropped considerable money for her backers. Those who pinned their faith to Duty did well, as she was on the short end throughout the day, and in the finals went begging at one to six. ‘Next Sunday the first regular puppy stake ever given on the local field will be Tun. There are several promising pupples coming into’ running form, and a stake was made up to give them a chance. e No Coursing at Stockton. STOCKTON, March 26.—Owing to the flooding of Goodwater Grove the Stockton Coursing Club abandoned the regular Sunday meeting for to-day.

In reckoning the per- centage of a club drawn matches will not be counted. All the matches will be played on the grounds at Webster street, Alameda, Freeman's Park at Golden Gate being no longer available for crick- eters. There being three city clubs and onl?' one ground, one team will be com- pelied to stand out each Sunday. The newly formed California Club will be able to put a strong team into the field, for it includes H. H. Cookson, E. G. Sloman, Arthur Dickenson, J. Guild, ‘W. Reeves and A. W. Lugg, all of whom are well-known _cricketers. Among the members who have not yet earned a reputation in California are W. R. Wil liams of Philadelphia, F. M. Gunn of Ta- coma and W. E. Howells of Chicago. The Pacific Club has a splendid wicket- keeper and batsman in J. Myers, who, in the four matches in which he played last season actually made the highest batting average, 3825, but was not eligi- ble for the Burnell prize because he had not_played in enough games. The Ala- medas also will have a good team. The secretary of the California Cricket Association has sent communications to the clubs at Keswick In asta County, Burns Valley and Lakeport in Lake County, Loomis in Placer County, San Jose and Los Angeles, asking them to ap- point delegates to_ the association. It is quite likely that both the Lake County clubs_will come into the association, but it is doubtful whether Placer County and Ban Jose will be able to get together elevens this season. It is proposed to make up an All California eleven later in the" season to_visit Portland and Ta- coma, Victoria, Vancouver and possibly other towns in British Columbia. The tour will be under the management of the California Cricket Association, and oni members of clubs in the association wiil be chosen on the representative team, Ala- All *‘(}—0@ B R O S S R R R O R o T N Schuster, | { the main event were kept down to four. | Hauer scored eleven points. | scores in this e | Leahy | 1tgen | 15, Bonner 13, Drieschman 8, Walput 7, | $320; Micheissen and Peterson divided SWIFT FLIERS FOOL VETERANS AT THE TRAPS Gun San Francisco Club Shoot.
