Deckelman, won the open stake at Union Park yesterday in the presence of 5000 spectators, lse Flatterer runner-up. The day was a great one for coursing admirers, and up to the finais it was a hard task to select the winner as all the hounds participating in the stake were in fine form and the hares were also very strong, which is unusual at this time of the year. The favorit won nearly all the courses, the hottest thing in the day that was handed out being Miller's Rabbie in the secon round, the dog defeating Gladiator at the good odds of 7 to 1. The course might without prejudice be called a lucky one for the Pasha kennels’ entry, as he won by the hare favoring him. Gladiator in the run-up secured the lead and the first two turns, but he lay off his game for a few brief moments and the shortenders’ choice made a few turns and the kul Rollicking Airs made a great showing in the stake, and was not retired from tne lists until the fifth round, when she was put out by False Flatterer after a no- go. Theron was in fine form and secured third mone: He was up against | hard game all day and will no doubt win a stake in the near future if he can be kept up to his present form.

LOS ANGELES, April 2—The feature of the coursing at Agricultural Park to- day was a match race between Orpheum Less and Merry Maiden for $100 a side, which was won by the latter style after a ‘bad break by the Lass at the beginning, which necessitated consid- erable delay. The regular programme consisted of a 16-dog puppy stake, the first ever run in Southern California, which brought out a lot of high-class youngsters. First money was won by Adams' Her Grace, a Hadiwist-Lady Lowe dog, with P. Fer- raris’ Milano (Punch-Sicily) second, American Beeqty (Dakota Chief-Beauty) third, and Miss Wid (Nitz-La Flesta Queen) fourth. In the open stake Dryden's Mountain Belle won first money, with Snug second and Duty third. The longest course of the day was be- tween which necessitated drawing Snug in_the final. There were two special races, Mer- ry Maiden defeating Mountain Belle and Moloch easily putting out Headstrong. The crowd was the largest that has been at the park for se: stand being well filled. Among the out- of-town visitors was George W. Rose of San Francisco and party, who left for the north to-night. The New Dog Did It.

ASSESSMENT OF GOODS IN BONDED WAREHOUSES ALFRED C. PLATT TO BE AP- POINTED A DEFUTY ASSESSOR. | The Board of Supervisors meeting will begin a syste | to ascertain the value of the amount of | sell & | goods ...e local importers have in the| bonded warehouses. Chairman Phelps of the Co: ittee on Personal Property As- | ments will introduce a resolution re. questing the board to instruct Assessor | Dodge to appoint Alfred G. Platt as a deputy a: or and in conjunction act as | advisory expert to the committee. This as been precipitated by the statement | made to City and County Attorney Lane | HA | | from the controver: in easy | | 1 | date, as compared with those of same date | light, by Collector Jackson that he had no par- | ticular objection persona..y to give out the information about bonded goods, but that he would be unable to do so since it would be contrary to the regulations of the Treasury Department. He further stated that it was the first time in the history of the Custom-house that such a request had ever been made and he would have to be guided by the authorities in Washington. Mr. Lane has withdrawn saying that he ha: no degire to pit himself against w.e Trea ury Department. \When Mr. Platt, as a representative of | : Board of Supervisors, was detailed some time ago to get information in or. der that goods now in the bonded w: houses on which the duty was unpaid, could be assessed by the board as per- | sonal property, he was told by Collector on that no information could be given in regard to one importer as against another which would tend to benefit| either party. He took this stand by rea- | on of Treasury decisions promulgated on the subje Platt reported to the Super- | s, who then delegated Mr. Lane to| get the information, with the above re- | sult. It is with-the idea of clothing Platt with the necessary authority that the resolu- | tions will be introduced and the interest- | ing point will be determined whether the | State or city and county has the power | to assess goods which are actually in the | P on_of the Government, though in| reality owned by the importer and espe- clally in the case of goods on which the cost, freight and insurance has been paid. The point involved is whether the United States Government can stand in the way of the municipal authorities getting suc information as may be necessary for a complete report of the assessment rolls. It is certain that the matter will eventu- | ally be decided in Washington, and as the Board of Equalization meets on the first Monday in July, an early decision is de: sired by the Supervisors. | Vast quantities of goods have hereto- fore escape taxation because they were | contained in bonded warehou and the Personal Assessme®t Committee takes the stand that the State has a perfect right to take steps to ascertain the owner- ship of the goods. By having a qualified | deputy assessor it will give him the right to make the necessary investigations. He will then request to be shown the| withdrawal entries made after the first| day in March for the purpose of ascer- | taining who is taking the goods out of the | warehouse and so assess them accord-| ingly. | The controversy will be watched with considerable interest by the importers, as much money is involved. They are de- termined to take the matter to the courts should the decision be adverse to them and the Supervisors be granted the right to inspect the Government books in or- der to assess the goods. —_————— ANOTHER' YIONEER GONE. at His Home in This City. | Samuel Laventhal, one of the best known California pioneers, dled suddenly at his home, 1527 Octavia street, last Fri- | day evening.
