! HARE N HOUNDS

A report is at hand from a visitor in
Butte that BILLY Walker did not get a
fair show in Arizona last fall. Henry
Granting sent him down there to one
OF the coursing officials, who promised
10 take good care of him.. \ appears
thai Billy won his first course poantless,
and was heavily 'backed to win his SIC
ond, but was 'doped' and could not raise
a gallop. 1t is also said that some ART.
iona sportsman" took the opportunity
to steal a service to this game little dog.
The visiting sportsman states that these
occurrences. together with some Others
of like character, broke up the game in
that part Of the country: the public be-
come so disguised that it would not pat
ronize the sport any longer.
The new one. lately received by Billy
Rowe turns out to be Observation-Disclosures"
by Prince Charlie-Princess Fullerton. He
is a big. heavily built, light brindle, n
W brother to Flora Macdonald, Prince
Hal, and a number of other well known
performers. He represents almost iden-
tically the same crosses as those found
in the Battle Royal-Brunette, and Twist
. lot that nave been bred here,
since Prince Charlie is own brother to
Twister and Battle Royal, and Princess
Fullerton is out of an own sister ia
Brunette, called ~Spinaway, who was sent
to England bred to Young Fullerton,
brother to the great Fullerton. Over-the-
Border has done some running in San
Francisco and has fair speed. but is not
the best worker in the world, and did
only fairly there. He can probably hold
his own with the Butte dogs. or at least
with all h1,t thu tvyN nv Hrn FOR ,>o<,l>
es. He was bred by III. C. Lowe, Of
Lawrence, Kansas. and is about two
| years old.

Most OF the litter by Billy Walker
Lady Regina, of which great things were
hoped, are under sized. though shapely
and h~andy-gaited. Lady Regina was the
queen as a PUPPY hut broke a leg early
VI e ScIOAu ScdSOH. LACK OI size is an
awkward handicap, though there have
been some pocket editions that could
do their share. For Glory, one Of the
crackajacKs of. California, runs best at
about Al pounds. A Butte bitch. Daisy
Belle, used to run at 80 pounds, and was
not easy to beat. Many useful bitches
run at 43 or A pounds, among others
Lopez & Sons Sara, a good winner; but
they v to get above 45 before they
really have an "even break" and the
dogs need TO be above 81 or 50.
