Healey's great young dog Sisquoc has recovered from a severe attack of di: temper and will soon be ready for com- petition again. The management of Union Coursing Park has in view a great junior stake, which, if.- arranged, would create wide- spread interest. Among the ng flyers which would be eligible are: Sisquoe, Re- cording Angel, Golden Rule, Reckle Archer, Oleta, Los Angeles and Ripple. This does not complete the list of sen: tional young performers and others would | be added, making the stake a representa- tive one. Mr. Sterl of the coursing firm of Sterl & hnowles brought three more grey- | hounds: from Australia recently for his | kennels. The most promising 1s a half sister to Sleety Mist, the most consistent performer brought here from the colonles. Mr. Sterl is negn!lalln for Black Misi a full sister to Sleety Mist.

WIill Thompson expects to Increase his string by the addition of two pupples from the Lowe Kennels, Kansas. They are of the same litter as Little Fullerton and will be ready to go into competition soon after arriving here. The change of climate affects some dogs in a striking manner. A number brought | here from Texa# and Denver have wasted gaunt frames.
