Conditions for Hunting.

TO show high-class sport In the hunting
field three conditions are absolutely me-
cessary. The atmosphere must be favor
able for carrying scent; tho ground mus:
be possible for hounds to run upon, and q
fair start upon the game be had from
the jump. To hold run upon the fox is
to force him to u killing pace, and hounds
must run with their heads by tho body
scent to do this. Any fault, or check
upon the line gives the fox an opportunity
TO s,acken his pace and regain wind.
When the hounds are forced to stoop to
pad scent be sure the fox Is long way
ahead and likely to remain 50, unless no
be grey, who is not fleeing tho country.
Some hounds have natural gift for hold
Ing q close run upon their fox. while
others have the ability TO mend the run
by rapidly working the scent from the
pad to the burning perfume. which Is
emitted from the reynard's body alone. In
fact, it takes all kinds of hounds to catch
q fox, as the parson said when he was
run over in tho lane by n red-coat, and
the individuality display by the Amerl-
can fox hound In accomplishing the death
Is truly wonderful. No fox can maintain
his best speed for over few minutes.
fast run of twenty-five minutes Is
sufficient to wind the stoutest red. We
often speak Of running SO many hours,

Development Of Hunting.
Having imperfectly traced the progress
of the chase from George Washington to
Theodore Roosevelt We have drawn to q
covert where the fox is now lying.
Neither field trials nor bench shows have
much to do with the development of tho
fox hound and can teach but little con-
corning the science Of fox hunting.
The Brunswick Fur Club was organized
several years ago for the purpose OF Inn
proving the fox hound, but in the Lam
guage Of one of it's members, until lately
the field trials have been u farce Mr..
Harry w. Smith and Mr.. Thomas Hitch
cook took an Interest In the institution In
1901 and contributed fund for inviting
Southern fox hunters to attend the meets.
Since then the sentiment and methods
have been undergoing a hopeful eyolu-
tion The name has been changed to
the Brlnswivk Fox Hound Club. and the

MEXICAN TREADs oNT1E WATER
Cornell Student Invents Shoes ard
Introduces Aquatic Lacrosse.

Ithaca, n. Y.-Jose Antonio Ostos. a
Mexican student in Cornell university,
has walked on the water of Cayugoa
lake. He wore pair Of water shoes
which he recently designed in the de-
partment of mechanical engineering.
He shot about over the water in every
direction with little apparent effort.
The shoes are constructed Of tin,
with four air chambers in each, and
separate compartment for the foot
They are five feet three inches long
IA inches wide and nearly ten inches
deep. Collapsible fans prevent them
from slipping backward. A large
crowd witnessed the test. Ostos is a
prominent athlete in the university
rowing in the freshman crew at
Poughkeepsie in 1908. His chief OBJ
ject in having the shoes made is to
start a new form of water srort az
Cornell, a sort of water lacrosse. He
hopes TO introduce the game in other
universities If it proves a success
here.

GREAT BALLOON RACE
Sixteen Big Gas Bags Start from
Paris Under Very Disap-
pointing Conditions.
WIND PLAYS a TRICK ON THEM
Been Blowing from the West Regu-
larly at This Season, bue Now
Reverses Its Directions

Paris, Oct. Sixteen balloons, av-
eraging over 1000 cubic metres ca
pacity each, and representing seven
countries, sailed away from the Tuil-
cries gardens in tae heart of Paris in
TIE first competition FOR the Gordon
Bennett cup for international aero
nauts. The contest was primarily a
long-distance race. The date had been
carefully selected when the prevailing
winds are from the west, in the hope
Of giving the aeronauts an opportunity
to break the record of Count de la
Vaulx, made in 1900. when his balloon
landed in Korostycheff, Russia, having
covered a distance of ], 1S5 miles in
thirty-five hours and forty minutes.
Wind Bloweth Where 1t Listeth.
But this time the wind was light,
hardly more than eight miles an hour,
and from the east, thus making the
shores of tle Atlantic the limit of
distance and robbing the occasion of
its choice as q test of long-distance
aerial travelling. On this account the
race was a keen disappointment to the
aeronauts, who had come from every
corner of Europe. The rules of the
contest, however, provided that in
ease of unfavorable atmospheric con-
ditions the judges could, at their OPP
ton. make the test one of endurance
TO remain in the air.
Million People See the Event.
Nevertheless, as a spectacle the
event was a brilliant success. 1t is
calculated that over 100000 people
saw the balloons as they sailed away.
4 quarter Of million had gathered
inside the gardens, while the Place de
| n Concorde, the bridges over the
Seine, the embankments of the river,
| housetops and every other coign of van
| tage for miles around were black with
| people. The terraces in the gardens
| had been reserved for invited guests.
/ They were occupied by prominent
aeronauts Of Europe, as we'll as many
/ distinguished visitors from various
countries, the foreign diplomats here
and the French ministers of war and
