WILL EAT A PIG ON WAGER
Champion Wyoming Gourmand Will
Tackle TwenY-pound Shoat

Delaware has some big eaters con-
tending for the prize offered some
where for the biggest eater, and the
correspondents are sending in ac-
counts of brave attempts to masti-
cate and digest everything in sight.
Elmer Dyer, OF Wyoming, it is
claimed, ate on a wager, four large
mackerel, seven large onions, two
large white potatoes, one pound Of
raisins and one loaf of bread. As
soon as he RECEIVERS his gastronomic
equilibrium, it is claimed, Mr.. Dyer
will try to leave nothing but the
bones of twenty-five pound hog. A
Magnolia correspondent writes a
word of warning to the gourmands
and fork hod carriers and cites the
case or o. w. Bass, of Frederick,
who, seven years ago, tried to break
all records for heavy work at the
table by eating four mackerel. one
pound Of pork, one dozen raw eggs,
two pounds of cheese, fifteen large
molasses cakes and then washing 1t
all down with quart bottle of
whiskey, all in eighty-fve minutes.
He could never beat this record it is
said, because he never wanted
another meal on this planet.
