Richmond daily register. (Richmond, Madison County, Ky.) 1917-1978, 1921-03-05

lclined somewhat to think this is
Ioverestimated as | only met 42S
lin the county clerks officc--J. W..
/; Mauin. This seems to be head
Quarters for the fox hunters.
J a more delightful day it has
never been my pleasure to spend.
In this connection [ wish to ex-
press my appreciation for courte-
sizes shown me by one and all.
While in Richmond I saw the
pack OF J. w. Maupin and Bros.
! While not as large as some 9th
ers, they were Of the very best.
He has at the head Of his kennel
String" Several Of his produce
were i'll the his pack. He is roy
ally bred and | predict he will be
heard from later as a sire.
[ very greatly enjoyed my Wis
lit to Winchester, Ky, where |
met the veteran sportsman (noW
i'll his 8Oth year,, ". n. Ramsey.
Sid Tucker and other local sports
men, who made my short stay in
! Winchester one of delight and
pleasure.
Jim Kanatzar has we'll Sc
lcCted pack. the breeding OF which
cannot be surpassed. Like the
other kcntuCkians met the latch
String with him always hangs on
! the outside. regard his Judgment
on dogs second to none.
My next visit was 10 Versailles.
iky.j where inspected the re-
ispective packs Of Woodbridge and
Jasper Maupin, and where was
most delightfully."- entertained. Al
ter the usual courtceiGs were eN-
changed ! was shown their great
packs. While their dogs were
bred along similar lines to others
which | saw, believe | am jus
titled i'll saying they have greater
number OF strictly high-class dogs
than any other pack i'll America.
/ j hey have at the head OF their
! kennel Big Stride and other noted
isircs. including their first acqui-
sition. Speaker. which Wool
ridge recently purchased from ].
! w. Maupin at a~price that would
surprise the public ii known. He
is, indeed. very handsome dog.
| | had also the pleasure OF visit
ing Mr.. Wade, who lives near
} Mr.. Woodbridge. He has bred ma
ny fine dogs and is sportsman to
! be appreciated. His library is one
iof the best i'll Kentucky. 1t is in
deed great privilege to be a gen
!tleman of leisure and means and
to have as your associates the
master minds of the past.
While Visirf1rg; the various ken
incls was fortunate enough ITO
pick up some young stock ito re
lplcnish our kennels (Which have
ircccntly been depleted on account
of distcmpcr). ! would have pur-
chased more, but failed to make
proper arrangements with my
banker before leaving home.
Before going to Kentucky to
buy dogs | advise fox hunters to
count their cash and find out the
limit of their credit at their bank
dogs are now as high, ii not high
er than mules and horses. in fact.
like some Of my own | found
!aome that were unpurChasable. II
lit were generally known what |
! oticrcd Tor some OF their dogs the
Iprblic would decide that | need 4
guardian. hence | ask my Ken
lucky friends to guard same as 4
secret.
/ However. III this connection I
! would like to suggest to men
who are inexperienced and wish
TO buy dogs, TO purchase them OF
men who think more OF their rep
utation than they do OF their mo-
ney. | would rather start with
two dogs properly bred. with re-
quisite qualities than to have a
ikernel full OF dogs OF question
liable breeding
