this pastime as obsolete as fist
fights with the caestus though
] can remember when the Po-
lice Gazette and other old time
Sporting journals carried pie
lures of champion rat killing
dogs and their owners, usually
gentlemen with big mustaches
and wearing derby hats. The
records of the ratters were also
considered important.
THERE was a special breed of
Il dog called a rat terrier, as |
recall, a small. extremely nim-
bile black and tan, but the
smooth coated and Wire-haired
fox terriers were used and also
other breeds. In fact, the great
est ratter / ever saw was a pit
bull terrier weighing about 35
pounds that was also a cham
plon fighting dog at his weight.
Several years ago a man of
Somber aspect came Ia The Her
mitage on Hibiscus Island down
in Dade County, Fla, with
big old floppy-eared bloodhound
AT his heels that he claimed was
the only rafting representative
of that breed in existence, and
he insisted on pitting IL against
my famous rodent, Sidney the
Rat.

and the man was so mad he
would not try TO rescue the poor
dog, which finally drifted with
the tides over TO Harry Rich
mans house, where il may live
TO this day for all know TO the
contrary.
IN ANY event, the incident un-
Il dermined public confidence in
bloodhOunds as ratters, though
am not sure that test
against Sidney the Rat is en-
urely fair. They once pitted a
panther caught in the Ever

should a bloodhound be eX-
