AN INTERNATIONAL CONTEST.


An English Challenge to Americn-Ens-
I1sh and American Pointers and
Settlers.
We are promised in August next very interest
ing international match that will attract the at
tenti0n OF the sporting fraternity OF England and
America. Some time ago II. L. Price, Esq, OF
Rhiwlas, Bala, North Wales, issued a challenge
to American spOrtsmen. In order to give the lat
ter an opportunity Of ''seeing the best animals
perform that England can produce" Mr.. Price,
together with his friend Mr.. MACEDONIA wished Ito
make a friendly match against any pointers or
settlers now in America" 'If the owners OF the
American team" continued Mr. Price, "consent to
run in England we will gladly pay expenses and,
in this case, well known sportsman and
master of fox hounds (Sr Watkin Williams
Wynn Of Wunnstay, will lend the requisite ground
and game should propose that double match,
brace against brace, should first be run OF, then
two single matches to follow. ! would suggest as
the English judge the name OF ViscOunt COmber-
mere. a well known arbitrator at field trials and
renowned sportsman; also the 18th and 14th of
August next the dates for running Off the match
and If preferred, two brace from each country can
take part IN it," The challenge proved welcome
to our own sportsmen, and Forest ana Stream and
Tu1J, Field and Farm had propositions to make.
Both authorities come, however, to The conclusion
that the dogs sent away from home would work at
q disadvantage, and suggested that Messrs. Price
and MACEDONIA should pay visit TO America The
latter journal says very truly, "Our cousins
over the water are always willing to meet all
corners in any sort OF a match, always provided
the event comes or on their own ground. They
know the truth OF the old adage. "A cock fights
best on his own dunghi' We quite agree with
some OF our sporting contemporaries that We have
dozens OF American bred settlers, owned in the
vicinity OF this city, which could give odds to i'm
ported dogs on American soil but that in all
probability the reverse would be tine case If they
were taken to England. In cases OF duel the chal.
lcnged has always the choice OF weapon. And az
we are in this instance the challenged we think
our sporIsmen should insist on the Englishmen
paying us q visit with their dogs. They may be
assured OF good welcome-if not defeat.n
