FROM ALL OVER THE COUNTRY
WHOLE FAMILIES ARE Ex-
PEcTED.
PROGRAM FOR The BIG EVENT
Outlined in Letter From President
Woodbridge of the National Associa-
LONESOME Estimate That Thous-
ands Will Be Here.

That the folks are coming to Co.
lUmbia for the big Fox Hunters con-
vention becomes more and more evil
dent. From letters received during
the past two or three days it would
be hard to oVerestimate the number
of visitors who will be here. Some
even estimate the number in the
thousands. President Woodbridge, of
the National Association has written
as follows to President Sloan, of the
Board of Trade:
81 A. Sloan, Esq, Pres. Columbia
Board of Trade. Dear Sir:
Your of the 2Sth, at hand, contents
carefully noted. Note what you say
in regard to Monday, we can take that
morning for your picture and welcome
by the Governor.
'In the afternoon we will hold our
Bench Show, this is one of the big,
gest things in it's line, as all the
hounds are shown in the different
classes and would make a splendid
picture for Mr.. Moore.
I'VE will start the derby on Tues
day morning about six; would like to
cast the hounds close the first day,
after that does not make a great deal
of difference.
In regard to young people attend
ing, that in a rule will depend on
crowds near you, some will come
from here, but the majority Of the
hunters are out for business with the
hounds, most of them are young
though, and are ready for anything
that will come up.
Our club will be more than glad
to help Mr.. Moore in any way we can
with his picture-Would advise he
make romance or love story, as the
picture houses don't want just a pic
ture of the meet, as they think it is
an advertisement OF course this is
a new venture with us in moving out
Of the state and can't tell how the
South will support us, but from all
over the country have letters from
hunters that they intend to be pres
ent; a great many will bring their
families.
The club will give cup Gall ster-
ling) for each class; we look for that
to be big drawing card, besides our
cups from other clubs.
Anyone of proper standing can en-
ter and compete in these trials
whether a member or not.
THE Club wants to give big hunt
ball and would like for you to advise
US what night we can have it.
You can reach more hunters
through the Red Ranger, of Rush
vile. Mo-, than any other paper.
We have very fine crowd of men
and think the hunt will help your
town in many ways.
The association certainly appre-
ciates the way you have taken this
matter up and will try to do our part
in return. Yours truly,
"S. L. WOODBRIDGE, 1
President National Fox Hunters AS
ISOLATION"
The following letter from the edit
or of the Red Ranger, the organ of
the fox hunters, gives some idea of
what these big hunts mean:
"Rushville, Mo-, Sept. 30, 1915.
MY Dear Mr.. Fry:-The remark
able spirit your people are displaying
and to know that there is nothing to
be left undone is indeed pleasing and
most gratifying.
Undoubtedly you will not be disap-
pointed in the attendance for l at
tended the Missouri Valley meet,
local affair, last week and one of our
speakers, a Mr.. Wright, with the ag-
ricultural department, told me that
he had, while fulfilling speaking en-
gagements in the state of Missouri,
which is his official duties, travelled
more than $4,000 miles and felt that
he was fairly competent to judge the
number of people in his audience. He
stated that 5000 people would be a
conservative estimate of the attend
ance on the day he spoke, which was
Wednesday of last week Enclosed
find copy of notice which will appear
in regard to the youngsters. At any
time you feel | can be of assistance
to you command me- Your friend,
JAS P. WORREL"
