SCARCITY of ,hares made the holding of the midweek stake at Union Park last Wednesday an impossibility, but the plains were scurried since then and enough jacks procured to insure sport for the 128 dogs in the big open stake that will be run to-day and to-morrow. This stake will be a crackajack for the usual regular stake prizes. On Tuesday evening the Interstate Coursing CluM# re-elected most of its of- ficers for the ensuing year and settled definitely what the substitute stake for the John Grace cup, run last February, should be. As the John Grace cup will hereafter mark an October date, another big all-age event was wanting for Feb- ruary 22 The “California plate,” it wiil | be called and it will be second only to the | John Grace cup. Besides the big prize | that will attach to the winner of thel —_— ’ stake, a handsome plece of silver plate will go with it As the stake is limited to ninety-six en- tries, nominations will have to be made early and the committee will have to exer- cise the greatest care and judgment In the elimination. An entrance fee of $10 means $360 toward the stake. There will be added | money by the park and the Interstate Club. At the time this stake is being run, which will take three days, February 22, 23 and 24, the Belle Brandon stake for saplings will also be on the programme. From the present outlook the sapling stake will very probably not reach a fig- ure over twenty-four entries. But they will all be high class saplings. Before the Belle Brandon Is coursed the Union Coursing Park Assoclation will hold two distinet sapling stakes, one at the end of this month and another the second week in February. This will give the saplings a bit of stake coursing experience. The California coursing commtttee has passed upon 110 licenses for trainers, many of which have not been called for. Unless called for in ten days the licenses will be canceled. Trainers will not be al- lowed more than two ers wone der 18 years of age. In the ca ers their names must be indc trainers’ licenses. The tra held responsible for his helpers. Captain Clarkson has registered five puppies out of Lady Jane by Moondyne. They are spoken of as strong, likely sap- lings. James Hurley’s request for the registra- tion of two litters, both having passed the s days' time of notice, was allowed, but Hurley was penalized $§i1 for his trangression. _W. C. Glasson flled a complaint with the California coursing committee against Connell Bros. for the nonpayment of a dog sold to them a year ago.
