A Dog Train Derby.

Ten or twelve dog trains, the pick
of the packs that traverse the snowy
trails of Manitoba and the Northwest
Territories, will pit their speed and
endurance, each against all the 9TH
ers, in the 500 mile dash from Win
nipeg to the St. Paul Outdoor Sports
Carnival, late in January.
This event, which promises to be-
come an annual classic as a leading
feature of St. Paups annual carnival,
will be known as the Red-River Val
ley Derby. The course from Winni-
peg will follow the Red River of the
North into North Dakota and Mime
sofa, touching at Grand Forks, St..
Cloud and other points.
The finish line is in the Carnival
City's famous Como Park, where the
winning team and driver will be well
coined by thousands, including King
Boreas and his retinue of Carnival
Queens.
/ From Winnipeg to Fargo the Derby
course follows the old mail route over
which many years ago the late James
J. Hill made one of his first visits to
Winnipeg, travelling by sledge behind
team of shaggy huskies.
The big purses hung up by the Car
nival Association, as we'll as the lure
of the sport and the spirited rivalry
among the Northern camps, have
tempted some of the most famous dog
drivers away from their traps and nets
to participate in the Carnival Derby.
Lake Winnipeg, LaPas and the Ice
landic River district are sending driv-
ers and teams whose regulations have
been won in the Hudson. Bay sweep
stakes and other famous speed events
in the Northland.
The Derby will furnish a test of en-
durance not only for the rival breeds
of dogs but also for the Indian and
the pale faced drivers. Among the
entrants is the famous full-blood
Cree, Tommy Spence, of Bad Throat,
Man., veteran of many a hard-fought
finish, and John Isfeld of Gimli, Man.,
who went through the Lake Winnipeg
country few years ago to select the
100 best dogs Of the district for Sir
Ernest Sakelton's party to drive on
it's quest for the South Pole. 1sfeld
will drive a team of black and white
huskies, all blood relatives of the
Shakelton dogs.

to read, and began slowly acquiring an

Jerry was told one Saturday when
he carried back the work that he need
not get'any more garments from the

words, but was patiently helped by
Rickett, and he became so engrossed
