TWO GOOD CAT STORIES.
The Man Who Bought Pussies-A Queer
Race.

DR.. J. B. Kinnaird, one of the pop
ular physicians of Lancaster, says
that in 1S49 European tobacco buy
er was in Garrard, stopping at a
house near the headwaters of Sugar
Creek, an important shipping point,
and one day an old man from Casey
county, who happened to pass by,
asked the European, whose name was
Billy Walls, what he was buying,
when he laughingly answered: 81 am
here buying cats to ship to England"
"What are you paying for themY'
"Ten cents apiece" The Casey man
pursued his journey, and going to his
native country he gathered up every
cat within its borders that the owners
would give up, and with his four
horse team passed through Lincoln
and Boyle, adding to his stock Of cats,
till at last wooden cages full Of felines
were piled as high upon his old gov
eminent wagon as they could be kept
on, and arriving at Mr.. Walls board
ing house in Garrard, he said: az
have brought you them there cats we
were talking about, and l have in that
old wagon LOO eleven hundred of
the best rat-catchers in Kentucky"
The European gentleman saw the
joke was on him, and he handed over
$40 amid the great laughter of the
crowd that happened to be present.
The cats were liberated at once, and
they do say there hasn't been a rat in
that portion of Kentucky since.
About 81 or 20 years later Judge
French Upton, now editor of the
Richmond Paragraph, was running
a paper in Lancaster, and extensively
advertised cat race. The day for the
fun arrived, thousands of spectators
from all over Kentucky and other
states were present in the beautiful
2OO-acre bluegrass field of Hon. Nal
colin Gill, near Lancaster, red, white
and blue programmes were distrib-
uted among the throng, 3O5 cats were
in line, and at the tap of the bell by
President Upton every cat shot out
Of the bag and went down the line
swifter than any thoroughbrsds of to-
day, and, wonderful to record, the
race was won by a cat the great
grandam of which was one of the
original felines sold to the European
buyer by the Casey county man 40
years prior thereto. Judge Tipton'8
cat race was one Of the biggest and
most laughable things in the history
Of the state, and will go down to fu-
ture generations in the history of Gar
rard county. - Harrodsburg (Ky)
