A stag and his antlers are almost

but not few members Of the great
red deer group are found to have

OF their race and sex.
Stays without horns are called
Hummle stays. and they are far from
being the helpless creatures one
might reasonably have imagined
them. They have been known to fight
and to conquer heavily antlered stays
Of their own weight.
The APPENDICES known as antlers
are so far from being universal among
the cervine tribes that naturalists
prefer to rely upon other character
istics in their definitions OF the sew
eral families and groups. But horn
less stag Is so far an exception that
the system OF judging the merit OF
the stalkers' spoil by the character
OF the head and the number OF the
tines or points ia certainly the best
that could be devised.
Many years ago an antler with A.
teen points was dug up from an Irish
bog. Assuming an equal number on
the antler that was missing, the
mighty hart to which the horns be-
longed would have been a stag not
of twelve or thirteen. but OF thirty
points. Such prizes are not. however.
nowadays likely to fall into the lap
OF the Scottish deer stalkers. still
less will they be able to send to the
suffers such magnificent examples as
those which may be found In many
an old German schloss.
The continental deer have always
been more heavily antlered than the
British, fact which may partly be
accounted for by their having access
to much better feeding than they are
able to procure In Scotland. But
remembering that heads of eighteen
and twenty points have been killed
IN this country, 1t seems quite reason
able that any head with tines In ex.

DEATH FOLLOWS
 FORTUNE TELLING

New York. Aug. 30.-The mother of thirteen children, ten of whom died within the last few years, Mrs. John Hammond, living at F'airview, N. J.. died suddenly at her home yesterday. Mrs. Hammond recently had been suf- fering from, nephritis, but her family and friends anticipated no fatal result until she lapsed into a state of coma, dying a few hours later.
 It is believed by her family and friends that the prediction a. few days ago by a fortune teller. whom Mrs. Hammond met at a lawn party, that there was to be another funeral in her family within a short time had much to do with hastening her end. Her youngest child, a boy, had met with an accident and blood poisoning was fear ed as result of a cut on the leg. Mrs. Hammond expressed much con- cern, for her child and nursed it de- votedly. That the prediction of the fortune teller impressed her deeply she did not conceal.
 / Mrs. Hammond had just left the bed side of her child when she collapsed. She was unconscious when found by one of her three surviving children and cid not regain consciousness.

SPORTS PREMIUM LIST
 FOR DOG SHOW To Be Sent By Mail Or May Be Had By Appica-
 tion Three ~ Days Exhibition
Three - Days Exhibition

Before the Bridgeport Kennel Club finishes its arrangements for the big
 bench show it is to give at the Park City Rink, Sept. 30 and Oct. 1, and 3, inclusive, the people are going to real- ize the great importance it is for a city to be able to hold a show under the license of the American Kennel club, that great organization which makes it possible for any man, rich or poor, to breed a champion dog and have the animal recognized for it's real worth throughout all dogdom. A point or more won at the Bridge port show will count toward a. cham pionship the same as a point won at the New York bench shows. If 1000 will be possible to win five points there and ten points are all that is necessary for a championship; between 75O and 1000 dogs entered will make it possible to secure four points; and be- tween 800 and 750 points will make it possible to secure three points.
 The local club besides securing the sanction of the American Kennel club has received assurances from all of the largest clubs and kennels in Amer ica that they will be represented at the show.
 The premium list will be ready for distribution at D. D. Smiths sporting goods store, A Fairfield avenue in a few days when it will have received the official endorsement of the officers of the American Kennel club. There will be special prizes in all classes shown.
 All local owners of dogs who have shown any interest in exhibitions or who are engaged in the trade will re- ceive entry blanks and premium list by mail. Those who do not obtain them by mail may secure them at D. D. Smiths.
 The show will be an education in it. self and the large number of people who do not know the difference be- tween 'tChihuahua" and a "Schip- perkes" will be amazed to learn of the hundreds of thousands of dollars there is invested in dog flesh in America ''Samoyedes," the latest thing in mo- tor car dogs will surely make a. hit with the ladies.
