GLASSTON, n. D., Jan. 26.-Myur-
tua Hanson, Gunnar Tomasson and
Mike Kelly, the Lake Winnipeg fish
ermen, who are leading the other sew
en- contestants by eighteen miles in
the Red river dog derby, Winnipeg to
st. Paul, started on the third day OF
the journey at 6:15 this morning.
Louis Hi, president Ct the Great
Northern railway and promoter OF the
race, is following the racers on a
special train. A moving picture man
is on the special. The three men thus
far setting the pace have little to
say concerning the advantages they
now hold; they just have one aim,
that is to keep pushing on toward the
goal.
The dog teams are today travelling
between Hamilton and Grand Forks.
This distance between the two points
being seventy-two miles, the drivers
expect to be in Grand Forks some
time today. The leaders travelled
seventy miles yesterday and ran
practically the distance to save the
dogs. Leaders agreed to keep close
to one another, saying IL one meets
with mishap the others can neN
him out. They are most ANXIOUS
about their dogs and are determines
to take them to the finish OF the run
without driving them to death. This
friendship, however. does not inter
fere with their real sporting instinct
at the finish, for on the last lap OF the
race they say 1t will be each man and
dog team for himself and let the best
win. II this trio is able to keep the
gap open between themselves and the
other seven, the finish should be a
spectacular one All three realize it
is still long way to St. Paul and their
positions in the race are apt to be
changed at any time by an accident
or a squirt on the part OF the others.
Signs have been posted at every
cross road telling the drivers the
right road and farmers along the line
stop and watch the teams pass, glad
Iy giving the drivers any desired in
