IN MONTANA

mates. Henry Granting lately got a
very smart brindled bitch from Omaha
called Pet. Nothing has yet been learned
of her breeding, though 1t is understood
she is of a good family. She is of good
size, a very nice turn of speed and game
to the death, as she proved last Sunday,
when she tool part in the hardest course
ever seen in Montana, lasting nearly sew
en- minutes and covering over four miles.
Her mate was a young Butte bred dog
called Tornado, quite as game as Pet,
though she beat him by a score of 20 to
% points. When Pet at length managed
to kill this great jack, she Immediately
fell on her side, helpless and Tornado
also went down as soon as he stopped
running. Pet was rather the worse used
UP, being a little too fat for such a long
race, and it was thought for several min
utes hat she would die, but fortunately,
the game little creature at last managed
to get her breath and was soon quite
comfortable, though of course she was
drawn from the stake. as it is uncertain
if she could have beaten a bird dog if
sent out again, and it may be some time
before she gets her speed back. j. f..
Hosking also started a new one called
Rash Adventure from the kennel OF l..
+. Bartels of Denver. She is a rather
small black bitch, very pretty and clever
and game, but hardly fast enough to
make a world beater. She beat II young
one in the first round, then went out be-
fore the redoubtable Flashlight. The
white dog led her any number of lengths
for the run-up, though She closed quite a
gap before he made the turn. Then she
got busy, covering her hare very Jealous
~ and killed cleverly a little too soon for
her own good.
1t is reported that a whole band of
Frisco coursing men are meditating a
raid on Butte. There are so many grey
hounds down there that some of them
cannot earn their feed, and some of the
Frisco dog sports think that third-raters
there might be first-raters here. The
Butte boys are willing they should come
up here and try; it would make the game
just that much more interesting. Mr.
Macdougall is of the opinion that they
can do some good, for he sent a young
bitch to California last December tina
showed about as much speed as anything
here while hardly more than a sapling
a and SHE has not been able to run zone
two-six" in the company she has to NEE
in Frisco, though she seems to be i'm
+ proving and there are now hopes that she
: will soon show fairly successful racing
\ form.
, There are two events of peculiar inter
: est for tomorrow at Westside park, on
+ for twelve puppies whelped on and aftel
November 1st. 1897, and the other fol
eight saplings whelped on and after MAY
: LIST, 1898. Most or the puppies entered
have been seen out one time or another
! but the saplings are unknown quantities
some of them rave never seen a hare
y and the efforts Of these babies to cate
q these good hares will be provocative o
g much amusement; it is dollars to dough
nuts they can't make the hares put thei
: fourth legs down, after the first hun
Y ldred yards or so. AS Indicative of tn
number of g~reyhounds now in Butte, !
may be stated that there would hav
been no difficulty in making each of thes
= stakes a sixteen, though it was suppose
that there would be some difficulty il
getting eight entries for each.
