DOG RACES IN MICHIGAN,
Popular Amusement With the Boys of
the Upper Peninsula.

From the Detroit Free Press.
At Nagaunee the annual dog race was
held a few days ago, and was witnessed by
thousands of people. The warm sun of the
morning softened the surface Of the street.
putting 1t In bad condition. By the time
the races were over 1t is doubtful IL the
mothers of the youngsters who drove the
dogs could have recognized them, as they
were completely covered with mud. All Of
the boys wore masks at the START, but when
the race grew warm they tossed them aside
to enable them to see better.
There were nineteen entries, all Of whom
appeared in several heats and most Of the
races were close All the runs were down
the grades on either end Of Iron street,, but
in spite of this fact the smaller dogs had
difficulty in getting over the course.
There were numerous fights, particularly
at the starting points, and occasionally two
more rogs would get into miXup mid
way down the street or just before reaching
the tape.
No more amusing sight can be imagined
than a dog race. Usually at the start there
is trouble At the word Co some Of the
dogs get into a fight and require the i'm
mediate attention of their drivers. The
more peaceably inclined get away during
the alterations of their opponents and
thus obtain a commanding lead There is
great overturning and humping when the
rushing mass of dogs cross a railroad track
or ditch
The handling of the dogs and sleighs at
these points is most skillfully done and
causes great merriment among the specta-
tors.
Dog teams are very common in northern
Michigan and there Is scarcely town
where there is not from one to hundred
dog teams owned by boys, who find them
very useful. In some cases these outfits
prove a source of considerable income to
the owners, who use them for hauling wood,
