YELLOW DOG IS THE BEST.
of the More AristOcratiC
Bulldog.

A young naval officer returned to tho
city recently from an extended cruise
throughout the waters of the eastern
hemisphere, and, as usual, brought
home many curious and unusual
things, says the Washington Post.
OF these none is more worthy
of emention than an exceeding
ly handsome specimen of the Eng
lish bulldog, presented to the OFF,
Ger by friend, who resides in re-
mote and old-fashioned quarter OF
England. In the opinion Of local ca
nine experts, this particular animal,
Rex Is his name, is perfect so far as
form is concerned, but exceedingly of
color" In fact, Rex Is what nowadays
is very rarely seen in bulldogs: a
bright buff, or orange yellow, and this
color spoils him as a show animal.
The fashionable color for modern bull
dogs, bull terriers, ETC., is brindled
black and dun, with or without white
spots; In fact, most any color other
than yellow.
Yet in one sense this same yellow
color should render Rex doubly valu-
able. Buff or orange yellow was the
original color of the English bulldog,
back in the days Of good Queen Bess
and down as late as the days when
Dickens wrote of Bill Sykes. Then for
some reason the yellow color became
unpopular and breeders set about
eliminating the Objectionable hue, so
that for nearly century the yellow
bulldog has been thing unknown and
forgotten. Yet in certain old-fashioned
stock-raising districts of England, such
as the West Riding Of Yorkshire, the
primitive buff yellow bulldog still ex-
lists and continues to be the favorite OF
drovers who employ the animal for
the same purpose as their ancestors
used him centuries ago and from
which the animal received the name
namely, for catching and holding
fierce and intractable male bovines by
the nose. Cattle are extremely sensi-
tive about the nose and strong, cour-
ageous bulldog can seize and hold a
refractory bovine for any short length
of time until secured with ropes, the
huge animal fearing to move lest the
pain to his sensitive nostrils be in
creased by the sharp teeth of the dog.
Therefore Rex, who first saw the light
Of day in the region where the primi-
tive bulldog is still to be found, de-
serves mention as the sole specimen
of the ancient race of English bulldogs
in Washington. II not in the entire
east.

1t has been thought quite generally
that 1903 has been record breaker in
amount of rainfall, but the record
shows that in several of the western
counties the precipitation has been
below the average, yet all of these
have produced the largest crop in
their history. This simply proves
that the trouble In Kansas is not in
amount Of rainfall but in It's dlstrlbu-
tion. This fact will probably be used
extensively by boomers Of Kansas land
and it certainly is a good strong point.

DAN PATCH At
THE: STATE FAIR
GREATEST RACE HORSE IN THE
WORLD TO APPEAR.
Great Event, Monday Aug. 21-Goes
Against His Own Worlds
Record Of 1:59

Dan Patch, the fastest pacing horse in
the world, is to go against his worlds
record at the Minnesota State Fair on
the afternoon of Monday, August 81,
the opening day Of the fair.
This is the latest and most sensational
announcement of the managers Of the
fair. The famous 100000 horse was Sc
cured for the Minnesota Fair after
weeks of negotiations, rendered neces-
sary by the fact that the great PAGER
ws much sought for by the eastern race
track associations Philadelphia wanted
him for the same week, but Minnesota
won out.
Dan Patch appearance at the Minne-
sofa Fair will be highly sensational in
character, for he will not SIMPLY make
an exhibition mile-he will endeavor to
beat his own and the worlds record of
1859 is. Three heats will be given, the
last being, Of course, the record break
ing attempt. Dan will be paced by two
fast running horses, each hitched to a
sulky and one going on either side of
the famous stallion. It will be the great
est thing ever seen on western track.
And it will be the only opportunity
northwestern people will have to see
the greatest of all the kings of the race
course, for Dan Patch will certainly
not appear in the west again this year.
Dan Patch's record was made last fall
at Readville, Mass, when his actual
time was 1859 is, but as custom on the
race course forbids the division of a
second below fourths his time stands
as 1:59A.
Not long after this he was purchased
by M. w. Savage from NJ E. sturgis,
Of New York City, for 100000. Dan
Patch wintered in Minneapolis. He
left the state June 1st, in charge of
McHenry. and within sixty days he
paced half mile at Columbus in :57%.
lowering the worlds record for that
distance. The following week he paced
a mile at Cleveland on a slow track in
2:02h.
These performances this summer shoe
that Dan Patch is in fine condition and
that his work at the State Fair may be
expected to be high class.
