Warren sportsmen are making prep
arations for the entertainment OF large
numbers of visitors on Sept. 10, II
and II, when the ninth annual field
trial OF the All-American Field Trial
Club will be pulled of here. Some OF
the most prominent owners and breed
ers OF bird dogs in the United States
and Canada Will bring their favOrite
dogs here to participate i'll the field con-
tests. Reservations have already been
made Tor practically all the available
rooms at local hotels, and indications
point to one OF the best trials in the
history of the club.
The excellent hunting grounds III the
vicinity of Warren have for years been
the favorite fields of many hunters and
4 owing to the closed season prairie
chickens are now more numerous than
ever.
George e: Gray, official scout of the
club, who was here recently for the
purpose Of selecting the place for the
holding Of the annual field trial is very
enthusiastic over the prospects for an
excellent meeting here. A letter writ
ten by Mr.. Gray to L. B. King, Of
Brownsville, Tenn, secretary Of the
club, telling of the advantages offered
= by the country in the vicinity of War
ren was published in The American
Field, a sportsman's journal, and is as
follows:
Il am just home from my scouting
trip and will give you the facts about
Mimi T 1i1n,t nf
anything that would justify my going
to any more expense and using up any
more time in casting about, expecting
to find something better, for don't be-
leve I could have found it anywhere
in Minnesota. In some respects War
rem has many advantages over any
other town and country l know of as
a place to hold field trials, and it was
just by luck that 1 found out about
this place and more particularly as to
where the good grounds could be found.
''To the best of my belief and judg-
:. ment Warren will entertain and furn-
sish accommodations to handlers, judges
sand guests, in fact anything that will
! be required from field trial crowd
s.zscan be had there. It's by far the best
town between CrookstOn and Winnipeg
and the only place where f. have To-
Gated ideal grounds that have metro
politan conditions. Not only that, but
- the birds ere there to insure the sue
cess of the meeting. Tell the many
dog lovers and SpOrtsmen for me
those who have been anticipating a
trip out on these broad open prairies
for years, to see real field trial run
on chickens-nOt to let this season go
by without making the trip. The
weather conditions are ideal, having
frequent showers and cool weather and
more birds than have been seen for
many years. This makes the second
year of the closed season and the law
I has been observed to the letter. 1 saw
a covey of fifteen, with the old hen
running in the road on the border of
the city limits. I found out much about
game conditions by asking the farmers.
who seem to all tell the same story that
birds were very plentiful.
''The mayor Of Warren, R. B. Taral-
seth, and his brother, O.. H., who is
president of the State Bank Of War
rem, are two very enthusiastic sports
men and lovers of bird dogs. I might
also name a few others in the same
class-John Black, D. Farrell. A. A.
Ecklund, w. o. Braggans~ and DR.. F. C.
Bakke-all of whom are welcoming the
club to their town and have manifested
their willingness to assist in making
- this meeting success.
''The best grounds are to be found
east and southeast of town, practically
level, with plenty of cover and where
you will find an unlimited acreage of
both. virgin prairie and stubble land.
It is the most likely looking country
ever saw for birds to nest and raise
their young unmolested. Here and
there is small patch of brush that
birds can get protection in, if neces-
sary. Dogs can be put down mile or
two out and you can keep on going for
fifteen to twenty miles to the Pembina
trail, and the farther you go the bigger
the country: in fact, the widest field
trial dog can be cut loose and run his
head off and his handler will be able
to follow and keep him in sight
have made all arrangements for
hotel accommodations, saddle horses,
hacks for the handlers, autos, etc. War
ren is 129 miles south of Winnipeg, on
the main line of the Great Northern
Railway, and there is a daily train
service from both Winnipeg and st.
: Paul.
