A cooking main for tho largest money and OF
the greatest interest generally that has takens
place in this vicinity for six or seven
years. was begun last night. It was literally
a match between the Pacific and Atlantic
coasts-a novelty in itself. Before this the big
mains have usually been between the North
and South But no great main Of any kind has
taken place In years. and for that reason this
one becomes the moro important, outside Of
the actual money at stake.
In this case Arthur b. Suit Of Suitland. Prince
Georges county. Md. breeder Of game fowl for
several years. and a man who Is known as q
sporting man from the ground up. Ii one OF
the match makers. and Anthony Green Of Sac
ramento. Cal. ls the other Suit has q strain
OF fowl that are known as shawlnecks. which
he has hnd under his eye ut Suitland for sew
eral years. The origin OF the strain was found
In batch OF game COCKS that was sent to him
by friend in Georgia He has mixed them
with other strains Of his own purchase. and
finally succeeded in producing lot Of fighters
that many experts in the East and South be-
lieve can scarcely be improved upon. ...
The California birds are known as the jap.
anese stock. but there il more than tribe Of
Spanish blood among them. Japanese fowls
nre acknowledged to be sturdy and game to
the last degree. and Western breeders, who
put great faith in the strain. sent a large
amount OF money on TO back Green last night.
The main was arranged month ago. The
terms are: New York rules: gafrs. 1 4 inches.
