horse racing has taken the place Of
the firemens tournaments as
Fourth Of July attraction, but of late
their drawing power has been sur

yet retained on many Fourth Of July
programs those homely contests that

Sunday is about to get busy. The party
leaves shortly for Bracey, Mecklenburs
county, Va. where, on the big plantation
of Mr.. Samuel Moore on the Roanoke
river, they will pursue different varieties
of game they nave on their program. A
meeting was held to decide whether ones
shooting must be confined to the variety
of game allotted to that particular day.
For instance. if on turkey day one jumps
quail can he shoot him? OF il he Is
hunting bear and comes across a possum
and only has the bear bottle along, what
then? OF course, it was pointed out, you
can't expect to run down a deer when
you only have the rabbit bottle in your
pocket. 1t was decided. we learn, that
while they would stick to the original
program of bear day, deer day, turkey
day, possum night, and SO on. it would
be more prudent to carry along all the
brands in order to be prepared for any
emergency. Fox hunting is to be big
feature of the sport, and there will be
three packs of hounds-the Chase City
hounds, the Boydton hounds and the
Elan pack-all under control of William
Elan, master of hounds Among the

At the field trials at Laurel dis
cussion arose between Phil Stubener and
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1911-12-03

Louis McGrew as to the merits of their
settlers, California Bell Boy, jr., and Joe.
A note from Mr.. Stubener since the trials
closed says that he and McGrew have
agreed to run their dogs a match for
500 aside. and also to shoot a match
on quail for the same amount. Field
and Kennel does not wish to detract
from the merits of Mr.. McGrew as a snot,
or from JOe's undoubted class, but he-if
the two matches come off-picks both Mr.
Stubener and Bell Boy, jr., as winners.
1t will be well worth seeing as a sporting
event. Mr.. Stubener said in his note
that he would enter California Bell Boy,
jr.. in the national championship at
Rogers Springs, Tenn, if he is eligible.
The writer, without having had time to
look up the matter, thinks dog must
have won first place in some recognized
trial to be eligible. This. he thinks, Cali
fornia Bell Boy has never done. although
he is capable of doing 1t. The entrance
fee in the championship was recently
raised to $75, with a view to shutting out
dogs who have not by their winnings
placed themselves among the real cham
pions.
One of the surprises of the Laurel
meeting was the control Tom Baldwin
had over Lord Buckingham. When
the writer last saw Buck in action he
was as wild as deer, but Tom has done
wonders with him, and will soon have
him a first-class shooting dog. Tom did
not expect to win with him. and he was
not cast down at his being unplaced in
his race. for he was in some mighty
good company in that respect.

the cheaper and better investment in the
end. Figure on It a moment. The price
of four-month-old puppies from good stock
will range from $50 up. Take $35 as an
average for high-bred pups. Their keep,
not taking sickness INTO consideration,
