FREDERICKSBURG, Va, Sept.
27-Common hounds were literally
two for a nickel here yesterday. and
a handsome Great Dane brought SIS,
as the city held the annual revival
of its tradition -steeped dog mart.
N. B. Kinsey, a fixture of the
event, summoned the buyers with
his proudest possession, bell the
history of which he said could be
traced back 200 years. Mr.. Kinsey
declared he had served as a crier
in Fredericksburg for 35 years and
began demonstrating his prowess
with a tireless flow of gibberish that
was a cross between the tobacco
auctioneer's chant and scat"
singers inhibition-free shoutings.
He used the English language SPAR
ingly but forcefully.
This is the dog you have been
waiting forl"
Mr.. Kinsey grasped the public ad-
dress system microphone and
scanned the crowd of several thou
sand about the stand and sprawled
over the steps of James Monroe High
School Stadium. Some spectators
apparently had been waiting for the
undistinguished canine, and small
bids were offered. The animal
changed hands for SIPS.
What am bid for both of these?"
Five Cents Buys Hounds.
The auctioneer hoisted a pair of
hounds onto the table. The crowd
was not attracted to the creatures,
although they appeared ready to
serve as some mans best friends
Finally, Louis w. Bradley of Spot
sylvania Store, who was on hand for
the fun of it, called out, Five
cents!"
Mr.. Kinsey sought further bids for
a few seconds, then blandly an
nounced their sale to Mr.. Bradley,
since the owner had specified no
minimum. The abashed buyer came
to the stand, succeeded in putting
the purchase price ION the cuff" as
he had no change with him, and led
the hounds away. A few minutes
later he was offered so cents for one
of them.
"Sold!" said Mr. Bradley. He
stopped to detach the chain leash,
but the second purchaser insisted he
was entitled to that, too, for his
half dollar. .
No Minimum on Great Dane.

Bidder, Embarrassed by Success,

Great Dane for SIS. Mr.. Kfnsey's
high hat was knocked askew, and
his swallow-tail coat was paved
during his efforts to get its 130
pounds onto the table which served

allergic to animal hair.

There were a number of bargains
among the more than SO dogs

setter pups went for S. apiece. A
grown setter brought sl9, the top

coming a champion within few

Mall Hawk Duke, an English set
ter owned by Mrs. William S. Eubank
of near Richmond, was selected
show champion for the second Sue
cessive year.
The fiddler and trick dog contests
brought no entrants.
An unhappy exhibit in the center
of the dog mart area was a live
gray fox which had been captured
by the Stafford County Hunt in an
early-morning chase. The fox was
placed in a cage above a pen in
which the clubs pack was on dis
play.
One woman exhibitor had used
red fingefnail polish on the toenails
of her big dog.
The mart was revived in 1927 by
the Fredericksburg Chamber of
Commerce. From 1893 until Revo-
luton times, Indian tribes gathered
here to barter for the white mems
hunting dogs. A group Of the last
representatives of one of these
tribes, the Pamunkeys, was on hand
yesterday.
