To the Editor of the ENTERPRISE.
Some great and gifted ia1kasses of an
alleged sport ng turn of mind are deeply
interested in the question as to whether
q certain expert can or cannot get away
with brace of quails per day for Thirty
days in succession. With solemn foolery
an Influential daily paper devotes third
of u column every morning. to the record
of the supposed feat, and the betting is
getting grand in its dimensions while
the performer goes through all the nec-
g. sary motions of a bogus inva i'd, nau-
seated by the m notony of his diet, has
valet to lean upon as he feebly totters
along in the sst stages of his battle,
worries down Lis mnrsels with pepsin,
g,u, cider, and other queer mixtures and
altogether makes a 'holy show" of him
self. Your RADIx isn't in the hippo
droming business but has eatep quail
every day for three months and IS per-
fecIly willing to do it again If somebody
else will foot the bills. The toothsome
little birds are more expensive here tb n
in India or Central America.
O,her sporting characters are agog
aboat the well-heralded arrival of lem
Mace and multitude of imported and
indigenous plug uglies who are occupy

killed Jim FI-k.
The farmers of scientific turn OF
mind have been holding convention

lar. This system of storing green foudel
under heavy pressure has met with great
/ favor, and seems to be pronounced
success; but it is by no means the novel
