DOGS NO MATCHFOR THE HARES

AT INGLESIDEMajority Make Good

Their Escape.

High Class Greyhounds Will Meetand Battle for the Prizes.

Strong Hares at UnionPark.

A knowledge of coursing was not arequisite at lngleside Park yesterday be-fore one could appreciate the sport. Thehares had the speed of the wind and led

the dogs at will up and down the fieldsbefore they disappeared through the es-capes. This did not happen at intervals,

but marked almost without exception

every course run.The prevailing opinion amons veteraTi

coursing nun present was that no higher

class sport of its character was everseen here. The longest course was be-tween Lady Enxma and One Spot, theformer winning by a score of 24 to v afterbeing on the field 3 minutes and 36 sec-onds. Safeguard beat Hummer by 18 to12 after 3 minutes and 3 seconds of going.

These severe courses arc- exp< cted t<> Bpoil

any chances the winners may have had

In the subsequent rounds of the stake.

The dogs were all tested severely, few of

them running less than oW minute.Just enough short-enders won to keep

their followers in good humor and in

pocket money. Arab defeated RockIsland King at 1 to 4; Gypsy beat Narcis-

sus 1 to 6; Terronite beat Senorita. 1 to

the day. The Girl had speed, but in aphenomenally long course the hare fa-

vored her opponent.T. J. Cronln's dogs ran in splendid

UNION PARK.

Smart Hares Furnished SomeElectrifying Sport— Night

Time a Big Surprise.

None of the hares at Vnion Park yes-terday seemed afflicted with "locomotorataxla" and the crowd witnessed gome

great spurt. In fact the different win-ners were returned only after long, hardruns. The dogs, too, were in fine fettle,reflecting much credit on their respective

trainers. On two occasions the "relief"doge were called into requisition. Judge.

Bull's decisions were all well received andSlipper "Jim" Wrenn was seen at his best.

Of the thirty-six preliminary coursesdecided for the rich stake first choicesraptured all but live. Perhaps the worstjarring favorite followers received waswhen the crack Prince Hal, in the twenty-fourth run-off, fell before the 25-to-lchance. Night Time. Aeneas, when hedowned Alma, after an exciting run, paid

his followers ]0 to 1, and the backers of.Metallic laid 7 to 1 that their dog wouldbeal Ben Bolt, but he didn't. The fastbut unlucky Hurricane had his usual hardtussle with Lady Clare, failing to winout aftc-r the course had gone the limit.

Warship, the ante-posi favorite for thestake, lai.i away Maid of Erin with con-summate ease ami will no doubt be aprime factor in the betting to-day.

DUDES WIN THEFIRST CONTEST

WITH SAN JOSEFew Errors and Hits

Were Made.

Large Saturday Crowd Pleased With

Tame but Good Baseball Played

by Visiting Nines—

Same

Teams Play To-I>ay.

Oakland 6, San Jose 3.

The Dudes have hurled destruction up- i

on the hoodoo that has been saddled like :a nightmare upon their baseball hopes, iDoc McGraw of San Jose knows this <

now, and hereafter he will entertain aproper respect for the most proper ball- i

tossers of California's wild and turbulent i

city of cranks.Eight innings were passed and not a sin- i

gle err"or was carved on the last column i

of the Oakland score. Would the mlracu-'

lous happen again? was the question i

asked by all.'

They did not have to wait long for an '

answer. Schmeer was on hand and h«

fumbled a couple of hard chances just tokeep things within the pale. His jugglery Jpresented the Prunepickers with a couple

of runs, but the discrepancy was too big .to give them a chance at the game. i

In the fourth inning San Jose pushed jHuston of Texas across the plate. One ;of Moskiman's unbending balls caught the ;man from the South right in the smallof the back and he went wriggling tofirst A sacrifice by Graham gave Huston i

second, and a single by Borchers forcedhim around the bags to the resting sta-

tion. This was San Jose's great feat until :the ninth inning, when the Prunepick-ing began to be busy. • •

It was a gloomy sixth for San Jose anaquite electrical for the Brummels. Two <

errors—one by Andrews, the other by An- jderson

—allowed Peoples and Hammond to

appropriate second and first bases respec- .tively. Looie Hardie came to the plateat this juncture and swatted the ball outfor 'a two-base hit, on which Pop picsscored. L>unleavy cantered to first onballs and the bags were filled just in timefor Lange's single to be effective in scor- :ingHammond and Hardie. Dunleavy and ]l,ange were sent across the rubber by a ;hit of Schmeer. Allthis time there were jtwo men "dead," yet the fireworks wouldnot burn out. Schmeer was caught goingfrom second to third and the side retired,

In the eighth Dunleavy scored again.The ninth inning gave the Prunepickers

a bit of diversion at runmaking. Borcherstook the ball in his back, went to secondon a hit by O'Dca, and Anderson camealong to till the bags after an error by

"SeWmeer. Hanlon thought Schmeer gocdfor an encore and he swatted the ballhis way, Borchers and ODea scoring onsome trifling by the Oakland shortstop.

The first of the ninth saw a beautifulfielding catch by Donovan, who ran^tofar center and smothered a ball fromHuston's bat. The 'score:

' '''- 'I When Sigsbee Feels Like a Whale.

In an address at Fall River CaptainSigsbee of the Texas told the followingstory, illustrative of the fact that navalmen made no pretense of being orators:

"It is a very difficult situation forme," said Captain Si^sbee, "to be re-quired to make a speech, and Iam Inthe situation of the old sailor who wasvery fond of tea and was devoted tothe people who served it. But this oldsailor had no society manners, and hadnever attended an afternoon tea. Hewas afraid of the ladies, but in someway he was forced to an afternoon tea.He went almost in despair, and whenhe got back to his ship his mates said:"

'Brown, did you go to' the tea?'••'Idid.'"'How did you feel there?'

"'I felt like a sperm whale doingcrochet work.'

"(Laughter and ap-

plause.)Nevertheless Captain Slgrsbee makes

a very able address.—

SHAMROCK'S MEASUREMENTS.LONDON. Aug. 12.— The official meas-

urements of the cup challenger Shamrockhave been supplied by'Secretary Hugh C.Kelley of the Royal Ulster Yacht Club, asfollows:

During the cruise to-dayof twenty-two miles from New Bedfordthe wind held on longer than yesterday,but the yachts ran into soft spots, andfive miles from the finish the entire fleetwas becalmed for a half hour.

The Columbia kept up her record of vic-tories this wjfek, n«.t only leading all theyachts over ~ho line, but defeating theDefender IS minute? and 4 seconds, elapsedtime. The. actual distance between theboats was less than two miles, for the oldboat came up very slowly in the light air,besides being somewhat delayed by a shcrtluffing match with the schooner Colonia,which finished about the same time. TheColumbia's victory was* nevertheless per-

fectly legitimate, and she showed herseita marvel in tight weather.

The wind was light throughout, and atone time failed altogether, but it treatedboth boats alike, barring a short spell justbefore the finish, when the Columbiacaught the breeze a few minutes beforeher rival.

Diseases.

The Greatest Enemies to Healthand Happiness, Finally Re-

sulting in Consump-tion and Death.

SUCCESSFUL CURESBY DR. ABORN.

On* of the most fatal diseases known tohumanity is consumption. It is alwayspresent in our midst, silently but steadilyremoving from the social circle, the cheer-ful fireside, from private and public life,many, very many, more annually than thegravest or worst epidemic that ever vis-ited our fair country. This ever-present,ever-existlnp disease— sparing' neither theyoung nor the aped, and incident to allclimates and to all seasons of the year—l3

CONSUMPTION.As Nasal Catarrh, or "cold in the head,"

as well as a sirnplo angina, or "surethroat," is not {infrequently the forerun-ner of bronchial irritation and cough, andas each of thesr- diseases has an invari-able tendency, when neglected or badlytreated, to involve the delicate tissues andstructures of the lungs and terminate Ina destruction of those organs of vitality,they should claim the prompt attention ofa skilled physician.

Of all diseases which afflict the humanfamily, tuberculosis, phthisis pulmonalis,or pulmonary consumption, is the mostdangerous, as It occurs more or less Inevery quarter of the globe, and occasionsa larger proportion of deaths than anyother disease.ONE-FIFTH OF THE PEOPLE DIE

OF IT.Statistics show that among th« enlight-

ened nations of the earth the deaths fromConsumption are about one-fifth of thewhole number: and that of the people in-habiting the globe over 3.000.000 die eachyear of this disease. Any observationfurther shows that no period of life Is ex-empt, and the most talented and usefulmembers of every community are amongthe first victims of this scourge of thehuman family. This precarious state ofsociety arises mainly from the fact thatthe patient or his friends are inclined tnregard his affection as a CATARRH, «rthat th<» disease is only in the THROAT,and that it will soon pass away, or thatit is only a BRONCHIAL AFFECTION.and requires a little patience, etc.: andyet all thes^ ailments, unimportant asthey are regarded, are but links in th<»great chain of CONSUMPTIVE DIS-EASES, and RAPIDLY CURABLE intheir several stages by the MEDICATEPINHAXiATIONand other means resortedto by

DR. ABORN of 554 BUTTER STREET.His treatment of these diseases gives

immediate relief, builds up and revitalizesthe whole system and gives patients anew lease of lif>.
