FOUND BY BLOODHOUNDS.
DIR. Bell Trafled Over the City and
Located i'm Tomlinson Hall.

There was a large crowd at the pet stock
show yesterday. During the afternoon
many children attended and last night the
attendance was the best OF the week. The
dogs bsrked as loudly yesterday as they
did the first day of the show and the
ROSTERS crowed just as untirlngly. The
only objection to the show is the noise. for
all of the contestants are in fine feather
and they want everybody to take notice
of them. The chickens are attracting
great deal of attention. for the exhibition
Is unusually good. The number of dogs
entered is not so large as at former shows,
but the animals are all OF good families.
Yesterday morning the bloodhounds were
given test. The ice or the odor from the
porkhouse or something else interferred
with the contest. The dogs are all country
trained and they We're confused by city
ways DR.. b. F. Bell, of Kokomo, a breeder
trail. The Doctor started the trail from
Tomlin5on Hall and made ii as difficult for
the dogs as possible. He carried in his
which he put over his shoes after half of
the trail had been laid. The route he Sc
lected was circuitous one, through the
north part OF the city. -Four dogs were
entered, namely. Countess and Brandy, by
5. NJ Miller of Darlington; Prince, by
Mowers & Harris. of Noblesville. and
Bright, by w. f. Fields, of Wheaton.
The hounds started well. Not all of the
crowd which followed were members of the
lamented Briar Brooke Club. The dogs
had not gone block until they had mob
after them. Those who did not know the
spirit of the contest thought some red
handed murdered was being run TO death
to the Waterson murder had been found.
When the dogs faltered the difficulties grew
making 1t impossible for the dogs to pro-
ceed The owners shouted in vain for the
crowd to allow the hounds to pro-
coed. Considering all of the disadvantages
the hounds did well. They could have done
faster work, however, had the trail been
open- The dogs started with nothing but
the scent from a handkerchief, but after
two hours chase. during which the
owners were run until their tongues pro-
truded, Dr. Bell was located by the hounds
in the crowd at Tomlinson Hail. The per-
Torrance was wonderful but not altogether
satisfactory to the owners.
After the contest 1t was decided to have
another trial to-day. The trail of to-day
contest will be laid at the State fair grounds
and the dogs will be started at 2:30 o'clock
Arransemsnts have been made with street
the grounds. 1t is not anticipated that the
work will be interrupted by curious mob.
while the course will be over the kind of
ground for which the hounds have been
trained.
