BET my pile on Smoky Gaston," he
piped, glaring challengingly around and ex-
ecuting a kind of comical war dance in his
excitement.
"I wouldn't" demonstrated Castor, and
pointed to his team. There were but five
dogs in the line. The sixth got laid out
in practice yesterday" he explained.
Two minutes" warned the starter, and
as both team and crowd tensed for the final
word, a girl pushed through those against
the rope, ducked under it, and ran to the
waiting driver. She was fashionably
dressed, fur-coated and apparently the
product of some eastern city's 400"
You're going to win, Smoky?" she
queried.
In answer the boy pointed to his depleted
team.

repeated. She dropped to the side of Zip"

encouragement from the crowds.

famous contest, and Smoky" CASTOR, while
he didn't win, drove a race that brought him
in but fourteen minutes behind the leader,
both teams breaking all records.
It was a race against heavy odds, FIVE
dogs against the winners seven, and his
game performance brought CASTOR the real
honors of the classic.

the derby, the bear suddenly decided that bis
dog teammate wasn't doing his share Of the
work, SO he bit him where II would do the
most good and then drove him ahead, slap
ping his tanks with a sweep Of tsloned paw
at every step. Up the street, onto side
walks, clearing them efectually, the team
went, dog yelpinr and bear industriously
engsg>i in melting out punishment. One Of
the BOYS managed to stick with his speeding
outfit, the other was spilled OF into q drift.
Finally the dog surrendered sbjectly and
thereafter did his share and more. No on
cisl time was taken, but II IL said that the
worlds dog and bear team record for three
blocks safely belongs to the one from Jack
sons Hole.
Finally a yell passing down ne crowd
from the edge Of town announced that tAs
first team was nearing the finish, and
''Tud" Kent, with his seven bird dofs, made
his final dash around the pole, finishing the
derby course in the remarkable time Of two
hours and one minute. Castor was NEXT,
but fourteen minutes slower, with his dcfs,
the same team that carries the United States
mail from Lake, Idaho, to Minods, Mont,
still strong and yelping for another ten miles
in which to catch their rivals. George Edt-
ington drew in third in point Of time, and
one BY one the contestants finished, all try-
ing right up to the last gasp to incrsAs=
speed, and some Of the last minute spurts
were thrilling.
The individual canine star Of the derby
was in Charles Csusey's team, "Husky,"

ever drew more attentive care when the oe-

outdoor man.
And then back home, the drivers with the
real spirit Of true sportsmsnship shown,

dogs, and the dogs themselves back to their

more, and hold the classic dog team con-
test in celebration.
Unlike the big northern events, which,
over long courses, resolve themselves into
endurance contests, the American dog race
is one Of speed, the course being but twenty
five miles long, shaped like a figure eight,
with the town of Ashton at the center.
CEvEN crack teams started at intervals
- of twelve minutes, and while thousands
lined the Ashton street to view the start,
the return dash through the town in cross
ing from one loop Of the eight to the other
and the finish, the more hardy donned skis
and watched the action from far out on the
course where the thrills were even more fre-
quent.
CASTOR, in passing Causey. another con-
testant, got by without the customary
mixup between the teams, however receiv-
ing some delay as his dogs showed 4 keen
desire to 60 back and finish up the racing
defeat with a real clean up. After all, these
outdoor dogs. who serve and live with men.
have many human characteristics.
In Ashton, too, the action and interest
was lively. When Warren Cordins!ey drew
up to the starting line his team was accom-
panied by a tiny maiden. ten-year-oid Clara

walk to walk with a milling crowd. Ranch

elbows with parties from private cars
parked on the sidetrack. Mackinaw clad
trappers from the country up Yellowstone
Park way surged against smartly over
coated brokers from New York, and tour
lists from Boston, Philadelphia and Pitts
burgh. All were pushing toward a tall pole
set in the center of the ice covered street.
There was a space held clear with stout
ropes, and from it a long, narrow lane led
through the crowd, past the edge of the
town, toward the open country, where a line
of low blue hills relieved the glare of the
deeply drifted snow.
The first team drew into the open space,
seven magnificent animals, six of them
hitched to the sledge two abreast, the leader
running alone at the front.
''One minute!' called the starter. Thirty
seconds! Five, three, one, Coz" The classic
race was on, and in a minute or so the
speeding sledge was out of sight across
the snow.
