Excellent Results in Trailing-A
Freak at the Show.

Freak at the Show.
The pet stock show attracted large crowds
yesterday. Last evening nearly one thou
sand adults and half as many children
were in attendance. AS many of the
awards have been announced, the show is
specially interesting, for a novice has an
opportunity of comparing the merits Of the
prize winners with the less fortunate ex-
hibits. The dogs continue to be attrao tons.
j. r. Dougherty, of Lotus, Ind. yesterday
had on exhibition an od-fashioned Eng
lish sheep dog, a breed which is exceeding
ly scarce nowadays. The dog is the kind
seen in the old pictures were shepherds
are represented as watching their fiocks.
George Brandon, of Anderson, yesterday
had on exhibition a two legged dog which
is living freak. The dog was born minus
front legs and has been. exhibited through
the country, coming here from the Atlanta
fair The toy terriers Dandy and Bob
owned by w. l.. Martin, of this city, at
tract large crowds. Dandy and Bob are
about small as it is possible for dogs to
There was great interest and quite a
crowd at the fair grounds yesterday to wit
ness the tests of man trailing by the blood
form. continually acknowledging the scent
by baying The scent conditions, outside
of the footprints left in the snow by three
boys who laid the trail, were unfavorable
TO the dogs. Snow or ice is not scent re-
tanning. Ground covered with vegetation
is far more preferable After giving the
up, each having on harness so constructed
as not to choke them, attached to this
harness was rope or chain nfteen feet
in length by which they were managed.
At the word go the dogs picked up the
scent and carried 1t faithfully, though
ing other peoples tracks and criss crossing
were made to thrown them off. The trail
was a good half mile in length and the

from the word go. The handlers were
completely worn out from their efforts
to hold the dogs back.
A running test was then made, that is
three boys were given half an hours start
and told to circle the race track, winding
UP by entering the judges stand and lock- lock-
turned loose, picking up the trial at once,
and. with Millers Countess in the lead, In
were. s. NJ. Miller. Of Darlington, Ind;
A. F. Fields, of Wheaton, Ind, and Boner

dogs. Many sheriffs from outside counties
were present to witness the test, and were
greatly pleased as well as surprised at the
sagacity shown by the dogs.
