GO TO THE DOGS
And Note Their Intelligence and Sagae-
ity Under Proper Training and
Careful Handling.
The Records Made by the Big Dogs OF
Memphis at the Recent Field
Trials-Their Winnings.

The recent field trials have excited con-
siderable interest on The subject of dogs, ard
perhsps a few facts concerning them would
not be uninteresting. Few OF the readers OF
the APPEAL have any idea of the value OF
settlers aud pointers. A few years ago dogs
could be had for the asking, now they COM
mand high prices. Gladstone, Memphis
dog, belonging to Mr.. P. n. Bryson, for in
stance is worth $1,000 spot cash, and his
owner has refused that amount Tor MIN.
Several of his sons and daughters have
changed hands at $500 TO $500 each. London,
his son who was winner in the Louisiana
iree-for-all, was sold before starting TO Mr.
Coleman, of New Orleans for S4O0, ADD Mr.
Coleman refused $1,000 for him after the
race. Four field trials have been held this
fall where $1,000 in cash was offered at each
as prizes. The winners IN these events COM
msnd large prices, ii being possible Tor one
dog TO win $1,000 in one season. Unlike
horses, they cost nothing 10 keep; and with
such a stimulus in cash for the beet dogs
breeders become as careful about pedigree as
the owner of any thoroughbred race horfe IN
the country. Some owners trace the pedigree
of their animals back for eighty years.
Perhaps no city has superior dogs TO
those owned in Memphis. Ont OF $1,000
offered at GRAND Junction by the National
American Kennel Club, Memphis dogs won
5000, and out of $1,000 offered at the Louisi-
ana field trials $500, and would have won
5000 had not their handler got angry and
withdrawn the best OF them without consent
of their owners. No city can boast OF better
shots, better dogs or more gentlems nly sports
men. Gentlemen of wealth, high business
standing and eocisl influence now own dogs
and run them at the trials. The presidents
of the clHbs are men worth millions. Mr..
Bonner, president of the Eastern trial, can
draw his check for 100000; Mr.. Wilson, OF
the National American Club, ia one of Pitts
burg's wealthiest business men. The Lou
isians Gun Club ra sed $1,000 in prizes in
one hour; one member donated $500 at the
last meeting for trial purposes. None but
men OF standing are appointed as judges at
such trials, and no gambling is allowed;
hence the high order OF lhe sport. The
question of shooting ia fast drifting to fran
chises. In few years this country will be
like England, where only the wealthy can
shoot, as shooting privileges will command
prices the poor cannot afford.

UNPARLIAMENTARY.
considerable amount of informal dis
cussion was INDUCED 10, which only came to
an end when the president announced that
there was no question before the house.
ANOTHER MOVE TO CRUSH.
A motion to adjourn was decided lest by
the president, upon which a division was
called, the vote TO be taken upon call of the
roll. The question then arose as to who
were entitled 10 vote, upon which the presi-
dent decided only those who had taken stock
in the new organization AVID paid up their
assessment. This ruling created considera-
Bile discussion in opposition, there being
many of the members of the old orgsnizl-
ton who had either refused or failed 10 SUBJ
scribe for stock, but had been enjoying its
benefits under the superstition that their
membership was still in vogue. This ruling
caused many 10 absent themselves from the

vote OF fifteen yeas and twenty-eight nays on
the motion TO adjourn, and the motion was
lost.

THE PETITION.

We, the undersigned members of the Memphis
Cotton Exchange, would respectfully ask you to
call a general meeting of the Exchange Tor the
purpose OF discussing the ACCESSIBILITY of discon-
tfnuing the Call Board, it having proven failure
and the aboliAhment of the Stock Company as or
gained last summer. We are in favor of forming
the Exchange upon the old system originally
organized, and under which system the Exchange
was In a sound aud healthy condition-satisfac-
tory 70 all members alike. We will further state
that the Exchange will lose large number OF
members IL the present system is continued, said
members being unwilling to become stockhoiders
as is necessary under the present system. Believ-
ing mat majority of the membership desire the
old form of organization we ask that Won call the
meeting as soon as possible for full discussion of
this matter.
