The matter of keeping a well trained
pack Of bloodhounds in each county in
the state, as much for the prevention Of
crime as catching the criminal after the
crime has been committed, Is gaining ad :
vocates daily. II is generally conceded
that II pack Of reliable hounds were to
be had within an hour or 50 of the com.
mission Of the crime, the criminal would
not be 50 apt to commit the unlawful
act. There are In the state now a num-
ber Of packs that have done splendid
service in bringing criminals to justice,
and the object of the races to be run at
the fair this fall is to acquaint the peo-
pie with what is possible to be done with
the hounds and encourage every county
TO keep on hand one or more packs.
The fair management will endeavor to
encourage this movement by arranging a
number of races to be run during the fair
over trails of varying length and diff
Guilty, ending up always on the fair
grounds. In this way the public can be
educated as to the possibilities with good
dogs on the ground early and ready for
action. Several Mississippi owners have
given the proposition their Endorsement
and it is likely that no less than half .
dozen packs from this state will compete
for the purses. II Is desired to give local
dogs an opportunity of showing what
they can do under varying circumstances.
Within the past few days parties out
side the state realized the Importance Of
the proposition and have requested that
they be allowed to enter dogs for the
races. The proprietor of a private de-
tective agency at New Orleans desires to
enter two pairs, Buck and Bill and Rex
and Jip, these dogs having made splen-
did records in the past. A proposition
by the management has been made that
IL as many as three contestors will enter,
special purse will be offered for dogs
from outside the state. IL is expected
that with Sheriff Tate's dogs from I'm
ion county. that have tracked down
many criminals; Cullen 4 Hiler's mag
