WALLACE TALKS OF TRIP

1 Montgomery, November 1s--(special J. 1 John H. Wallace, Jr., state game and fish commissioner, who is just back from the independence field trials held at Hud- sonvlle, H.. says that some of the finest dos in the world. tried out there, will be brought to Alabama for the southern l field trials In December. Mir Wallace was one of the judges and spent several days there with not only much pleasure but with great profit
 Dogs that cost $60,000 to develop and worth in cash as much as so5,00O were I there These entered in the Alabama l trials will make the events the most notable of Dixie in dog lore and will add to the prestige and prominence of the state immensely, so far as game and hunting interests are concerned Mr. Wallace, in both public and private ca i pacty, has done much in the past few i years to ensender an interest in the game of the country and to put the hunting on a sportsmanlike basis
 The prominence of the Alabama game laws accounts for the invitation of MT. | Wallace to be one of the Judges at Hud- sonville. In addition to this he has been active in the development of the real hunting instinct, and with others, among l them J. Kirk Jackson and E. B. Joseph of Montgomery, has urged the necessity I of breeding and keeping only high-class 1 dogs. That all this has borne fruit is testified to In the fact that Alabama trials this fall promise to beat anything | ol1o ,y i country.
 1 Just here it may be mentioned that preparation is rapidly going on for the southern field trials in December. The list of awards include prize of s75O in each of the derby and all aged stakes and President J. Kirk Jackson is getting in information that leads him to the belief that the array of dogs will be such as to gladden. the heart of every man who loves the sport. The grounds at Letohatchie are in fine fix and will afford the most perfect trial spaces.
 While there will be some of the best dogs of other states, it is also fact that Alabama and other sections of the south will have some star attractions Right here in Montgomery are some that are going to call high, while Birmingham. Selma, Huntsville and Anniston are pre- l pairing to make showings that are su1- prising. MT. Jackson is delighted with the outlook for great time.
