COYOTE CHASE
AFFORDS BEST.
OUTDOOR SPORT.
Rotarians Witness Exciting
Run Over Cassin
Pasture.
PLAN MEET HERE
Invitations Sent to Owners
of BIooded Dogs to
Participate.

Rotarians of the city, some Of them
for the first time, Friday night on the
Edward Cassin ranch south Of the
city on the Corpus Christi road, heard
the stirring bay of hound pack in full
pursuit of its prey, the wolf. Fifteen
dogs were in the pack, some of them
blooded Walkers and the fastest in
this part of the country, and according
10 those who followed the chase, they
staged the prettiest and fastest two
and one-half rour run that ever ended
without a kill.
The dogs belonged to Al. ". Terrell,
Tom Frost, and r. c. Delevan, and
were taken to the Cassin ranch in
charge Of Mr.. Delevan especially for
the Friday night hunt, keld for the
benefit of San Antonio Rotarians. At
6 the dogs were unleashed and within
an hour one of them Jumped" One
deep throated yelp, and they we're off
on a chase that led twice around the
Cassin lake and miles more on a zig
gag trail through the woods. Jim Don
nell telling of the hunt Saturday, said
that il was by far the sportiest that
he had ever seen. The coyote, familiar
with the ground, tackled and doubled,
he said, sometimes almost losing the
dogs, and again staying barely out of
reach of the pack leader.
Sport Being Revived.
Long after it was too dark to see
the dogs, Mr.. Donnell said, the men
followed as best they could, keeping
in touch with the pack by the baying,
now distant, and then again very
near. The chase continued until the
coyote found a small hole in a wire
netting fence and, squeezing through,
left the dogs behind.
The chase with the hounds, once
the sport Of kings, and in recent years
almost extinct, is being revived among
the farmers and ranchmen of Bexar
country, Mr.. Donnell said Saturday.
Many men like Mr.. Terrell and Mr..
Frost, he said, have packs with as
many as fifteen dogs in them, and in
these packs are blooded dogs valued
at many hundreds Of dollars. In the
national chase recently held in Mis-
sissippi, these two men, Mr.. Donnell
said, entered two FLOODED Walker

PRIZE CANARIES TO
GIVE SONGS HERE
TUESDAY AFTERNOON
German Roller Birds Re.
puted to Be Most Won
derful Songsters.

San Antonians will be given the op'
portunity OF hearing some of the most
wonderful German Canary birds in the
world Tuesday afternoon between j
and o O'Clock at III Avenue &, when
the Champion Rollers Concert quar-
tct will sing.
Although the group travels under
the name Of a quartet, there is fifth
bird along. These birds are being sent
by the International Roller Canary
Association to different points in the
United States to develop the interest
in good birds. The quartet started
from New York and gave a concert at
Louisville, KY, New Orleans, and
Houston. After leaving San Antonio,
the birds will 20 TO Fort Worth, Den
yer and then back to Chicago.
There are few people in the South
who have had the opportunity of
hearing r really good canary bird
sing" stated Mrs. w. L. Crossman,
115 Cliff avenue. president of the In
ternational Roller Canary Association
OF San Antonio. into whose care the
birds will be entrusted while in San
Antonio. The majority of birds in
IilS SccIlOn OIL TIE country are IHt
Harris Mountain and English Rollers
which are not even eligible TO regis
tration in the interna tiOnal associa-
ton. There is as much difference il
the singing of the German Roller and
the Hartz Mountain bird as there is
in day and night" she continued.
A most extraordinary feature Of the
quartet is the fact that it corresponds
so much TO the human quartet. Oh
the five birds, two sing lead. one tenor
one alto and one bass. This may pos
sibly sound impossible to those not
familiar with birds but each of these
five birds has been trained to sing
either lead. alto. tenor or bass.
The birds that will be seen here
are 4: Musicmaster. winner Of the spe-
cial prize for tho best bird in the Chi
caGo show last year; Babe Ruth. win
ncr of the Chicago show last year

The cages will h. - darkened

fact that the birds have been trained

event Lad made the kill, but was dis
qualified because the rules of the
chase were that a dog making kill
must continue the hunt for another
Jump" Lad had been trained TO
return to his owner when the kill had
been made and by so doing lost the
honors. However, it is said, he proved
his speed and the keenness of his
scent. and his owner is confident that
he will give good account of him
self in the open meet that it is planned
to hold here in the near future.
Plans Made for Meet.
The local branch of the Wolf
Hunters Association has announced
that it will hold contests here at an
early date, in which any trained dog
in the country can be entered. Mr..
Donnell has sent letters to all owners
of blooded dogs in Texas inviting them
to take part in the meet. No en-
trance fee will be charged, the meet be-
ing only for the purpose of deter
mining which are the best dogs. The
only requirement made of dog will
be that he is rabbit proof"
According to plans the chase will
be held in the Joske pasture between
the Castroville and the Bandera roads,
and it will be conducted along tie
lines Of all official meets of its kind.
Judges on horseback, will be stationed
at intervals over the pasture. Points
will be given for the Jump" en-
durance, speed. and the "cateh."
