Dan Cusick, who has had much to
do with promoting the race, is inclined
To resent the assertions which have
been made by officers of Houghton
County Humane society to the effect
that the race is likely To prove an eX-
hibitiOn Of cruelty on the part of the
hoys and in this stand Mr. Cusick has
the support Of practically all OF the
business men of the town. Mr.. Cusick
etates that he would he pleased to have
any of the representatives of the HUI
name society on hand to witness the
race for he feels sure they will have
a different opinion of the affair after
IL is over Mr.. Cusick, who is a lover
or dogs, has arranged the race largely
to please the boys and to provide Il
mid winter attraction that cannot fail
To attract visitors to Calumet. As each
boy will receive n prize, whether or not
his dog wins the race ii is expected
that the best of feeling will prevail
among the boys.
Following are some views by leading
local citizens on dog racing:
Prosecuting Attorney Anthony Lu.
cas-"As far as | know. dog racing IL
harmless pastime.
Marshal Joseph Trudel, who is an
officer in the Humane Society--"The
dog race should prove an interesting
exhibition of sport
Mayor Schumacher know of no
reason why we should stop the race"
The work of preparing the street for
the race will he started late this after
noon or tomorrow morning All of the
surplus snow will he removed and the
street rolled.
