Now, what do you think of this? Can
adian huntsmen have finally reached
the conclusion that the sportsmen of
the United States know as much about
breeding and training foXhounds as they
do in England. The Chevy Chase hunt
is in possession of a selected pack of AZ
couples, which promises to be one OF
the finest in the history of hunting
clubs. Clarence Moore. master of the
Chevy Chase hunt, decided to dispose of
10 couples of the clubs drag and fox
hounds, and before he had time to ad-
vertise these dogs for sale the Cana
dams got hold of it and wired they were
sending man TO Washington to look
over the drags. The agent came, and
Immediately advised purchase at the
price named by Mr.. Moore, which was
a stiff one. and the hounds were inme-
diately sold. Heretofore the Canadians
have always held that for fox hunting
no hounds can compare to those trained
in England.

The United States has one King. !
Prince, potentate or whatever else you
