the COUNTY
BY BISHOP BATES, D. D.

NEW DOG: Ed Ickes has pur-
chased a Blue blood dog, his pedi-
gree (the dogs) goes back to the
days Of Noah. The dog is the
bawling voice type, if you know
what this means in dog lore, in
foxhounds.
BEAGLERS: The Beagle hound
owners have been staging field
trials Sunday afternoon near
Caldwell.
DELEGATES: The fox chasers
are sending two delegates to
Cambridge to a fox and foxhound
meeting on the 26th of May. This
is a state wide meeting. The diff
ferent fox and foXhound asSocia-
tions in the different counties are
uniting fast, and soon their COM
bined power will be felt in regard
the game and dog situation,
Every one interested in game,
should attend this meeting at
Cambridge on the 26th of May.
TO OUR SURPRISE: 1t hap
pened on Election day and who
walks into the Time Shop but
Benson Day of the state house.
Old times were discussed, espec-
tally the empty hogshead, which
nearly floored Benson when he
started to move it. Benson and
this typist were Co-WOrkers at the
Penna. r. r. station at the time,
along with EaStO Archer. | told
Benson we should of enveigled
the hogshead into talking, il
might of diVulged just who did
get the For further in
formation on the mysterious
empty hogshead, when in Colum-
bus, look up Benson Day in the
state house, perhaps he can tel
more about the deep unsolVec
forty year old mysterious empty
hogshead than this typist.
It could be that Easto Archer
might cast some light on the ole
mystery, or add some to Benson'E
and this typist's story. However
we are of the opinion that aftel
the last gurgle, gurgle, was 81

FOX CHASERS: There will b
another attempt made to hold
bench show and field trial. TIL
difficulty encountered is the set
ting of the date. The field trial
may be an endurance test: lik
the dogs running the lOnges
This type of trial is being run an
is meeting with high success, an
is not so difficult to score. Dog
are scratched as they come /
after a certain hour. A COuntin
is kept of the scratched dogs g
they come in. Then after a cei
tain hour, all dogs remaining OF
and running will be scored, an
the last one to quit running Wi
receive the first blue ribbon the
scored back three dogs.
Endurance field trials will 500
be the chief method of scorin
dogs, rather than speed, as r
one wants to breed to cutters {
own quitting dogs. Today, its tn
dog that hits and gets in thel
and stays to the finish. Ho
: about this boys? 1t has bee
known that dogs were scored tn;
were running rabbits, who wan
| a foxhound to run rabbits, g.
a Beagle and you have a re;
rabbit dog, and they cost less
feed.
