Thu 81 QUAILsIN THIR-
TY DAYS.
HOwAa HOOsier Accomplish
edDsVhat was Thought to be
AN Impossible Feat.

Z From the Madison, Ind, Courier
About one year age the Calhoun (Ky.)
Progress published the following
I'VE are reliably informed that a purse
of $4,000 is offered by company in
Madisonvile, KY, to any man who will
eat thirty cartridges in thirty days, eat
ing one each day. The experiment has
been tried by several parties of that
place, but twenty-five is the highest
mum Der reached. 1t appears singular,
but it is said that after dozen birds
have been eaten, the sight oe one pro-
duces the most severe vomiting. The
money is on deposit in the Bank of
jacksonville If the party fails he is
to forfeit $780, This item went the
rounds of the press. and brought out
comments upon the impossibility of ac-
complishing the apparently easy feat.
The idea that it could not be done be-
came conviction without proof in the
minds of many, like that one in regard
to a man weighing no more after eating
a hearty meal than before eating. Those
who seemed best posted on the subject
were most eager to wager their funds
that it could not be done. One day
last October James O,Donnell, in the
presence Of ten or twelve persons, ate
large-sized cream pie, on a trifing
wager, in four minutes and eight sec
onds, when Robert r. Rea, N. Maccub-
bin and others who witnessed the gor-
rfaQdlzing, were so impressed with his
voraeity and capacity that they deter
mined to give him a trial on thirty
quails in thirty days. Arrangements
were made accordingly at Mullen's res
taurant for the quails. A committee
was selected to witness the eating, each
evening at seven o'clock, who were to
keep record of each meal
During the first few days of the test,
but few persons besides the committee
witnessed the "exercises." As UDon-
nell progressed in his undertaking, how
ever, and became the subject of COM
ment, from the press OF the country,
J the interest increased among the cur
ious bets were made upon the result
in sporting circles In this and adjoining
cities, and the restaurant contained a
large number of spectators every even
ing: Last night on the eating of the
|. thirtieth bird, the house was crowded.
O'Donnell went at his task with his
wonted voracity. Those who had ex-
pected him to fail on the last one were
surprised at the apparent relish with
which he extinguished the fowl, and
were aitonished to hear him call for
''another qunil for good measure J"
This was also consumed. He
then called for a dozen steaming
stewed oysters and ate them. Then
reaching over the table he tackled a
piece of pie, which in turn went the
way of all the quails, and finished up
with large apple. 1t is said that a
great deal of money changed hands
upon the result, but O'Donnell himself
had no money up. He received noth-
ing for the performance of this hitherto
tsaid to bel unparalleled feat bnt the
quails, the notoriety, and about seven
n dollars contributed by the crowd last
|'night. !,
He says that since the tweu'i.th quail
