FIELD TRIALS. 
Oct. 2S.—Southern Ohio Field Trial Association’s second 
annual field trials. G. K. Harris, Secy, 15 West 
Sixth St., Cincinnati, O. 
Kensington Kennel Club. 
Bcrso B.^ronet. owned by William Bechtokl. 
was pronounced the best dog in the show at 
the monthly exhibition of the Kensington Ken¬ 
nel Club, Philadelphia,, held April 27 at Arbeiter 
Sangerbund Hall. Baronet had a big field to 
compete with, and it was only after considerable 
eyeing over of the various breeds that the judge 
finally decided on Burso Baronet. Burso 
Baronet has won several prizes during the 
present season, but not until Saturday last did he 
show off to such an advantage, he being one 
of the finest looking bull dogs that have been 
exhibited at the Kensington Club shows for 
many months. 
The entry list was the largest thus far this 
season. It was pronounced one of the best 
shows ever held by the Kensington Club, class 
being there in abundance, and the_ judges gave 
general satisfaction. One of the nicest looking 
Airedales was Rustic Orang. Harry Rawes, the 
owner, had him groomed to a nicety and had 
not the least difficulty in leading the field, which 
was e.xceptionally large. 
Little Sweetheart, a Maltese terrier, won two 
cups and several ribbons, cleaning up every 
time she showed in the ring. In the hull dog 
class. Darby Lassie captured a cup, while Brit¬ 
ton's Ruby got a red ribbon, although it would 
have fared much better if it had been in better 
condition.

A Yard of Griffons. 
The picture over this caption represents the 
get of the first wire-haired pointing griffons ever 
brought to this country. The sire and dams 
were imported from France by Louis A.

Dog Team in Kansas. 
Mushing his dogs along a frozen trail, Ben 
Starr, the veteran trapper 9f Pawnee Creek 
dashed into Lamed with his dog team and 
sledge on his annual trip to market his furs and 
pelts, says a Kansas paper. 
Tliat reads like it might have come out of 
Alaska, but it happened right here in Kansas. 
The great snow of last week made conditions in 
central and western Kansas similar to those of 
Alaska, and Lamed was suddenly transformed 
into a Hudson Bay trading post, which Starr 
and his dogs and sled gave a proper setting. 
Two hundred and fifty furs were m the sled 
load. Hides of skunk, mink, muskrat and 
badger, with a few civet cats, and coons, made 
up tin cargo. 
It is not uncommon for Ben Starr to drive 
to Lamed with loads of pelts he has trapped, 
but more often he takes them to his nearest 
railway station, which is Burdette. Not a train 
has moved on the Jetmore branch of the .Atchi¬ 
son, Topeka & Santa Fe since a week ago 
Sunday and snow drifts from four to twenty 
feet deep in the highways block all vehicle 
traffic in Western Pawnee and Hodgeman 
counties. . 
With the true spirit of a frontiersman, Ben 
Starr, under contract to deliver his pelts by 
March i, loaded them on a home-made sledge 
and harnessed his big coon dogs and started on 
the trip, leaving his home near Burdette at 7:30 
o’clock in the morning. Starr made the 24-mile 
drive to Lamed in just nine hours, arriving 
with his strange team and cargo at 4:30 o’clock 
in the afternoon. 
Starr makes a good living trapping for furs 
and pelts along the Upper Pawnee, in connec¬ 
tion with a skunk farm where he has a couple 
hundred of animals. For the skunk pelts he 
gets from $t to $4; for the mink, $2.50 to $8; 
for ’coon, $i to $3.50; badger, 50 cents to $ij 
possum. 50 to 60 cents; muskrat, 15 to 50 cents, 
and civet cat, 15 to 40 cents. 
NOT FOR THE PLU.M.AGE. 
The Ancient Mariner had shot the albatross. 
“Well, what of it?’’ he said, brazenly. “I did 
it to oblige Sam Coleridge. I wasn’t going to 
stand here and see a great poem knocked into a 
cocked hat for lack of incident.’’ 
Which seems to show that occasionally it is 
necessary for somebody to furnish the Frightful 
Example.-—Chicago Tribune.
