The total distance run was 131 miles and the running time taken by the whi- ning team was 15.50 hours.- The race was wou by Jean Lebell and his five clogs. a team belonging to the -Brown Corporation of Quebec, and one that earns its livelihood by carry- ing arrying mails and supplies into. the com- panies .s r rn c, northern camps. P• That is the bare story of the race, easily enough told, but it is not so easy to tell of the tremendous inter- est taken in the race by the people of tlucbee and the hundred;; of visitors' who had conte from all over Canada. end the United States to witness ft.. The Grande Allee, Quebec's show street, was every day lined, with thousands ofpeople, t s srose thedogs' e d . g start and finish and if half theP ro- miles made are lived up to, another year. wilt see hundreds of dog teams owned and 'trained by Quebec's citi rens, purely for the love of-ihe genie. jean Lebell, the winner, had un- doti bicdiv the c best team fora th tlin kind of a race. Only one 'term could ex- actly describe therm—they were mon- grels, and there's much to be said for the mongrel if the breeds that malcc• up his varied parentage are of the right sort. Jean Leiell's dogs were largely Great Danes, but here and there, there seemed to be a touch of the hound ,or even of the greyhound in them, and that may ac- count for their speed., The one Unit- ed States entry in the race 'was a magnificent team of huskies that owned Labrador as their' original home. They were beautiful dogs, but they were not in good shape, or perhaps the story of the rate might have been different, On each one of tile three racing days the t gs came from the stables fresh and eages• for the run. They set Ott( the course- at ten minute inter- vals, and as each team shot away from the Startles point it was given a splendid send-off, i The finishe, were leech more oatcit;ng, and that Of THE racing of dog teams in sleighs is probably not an ancient forte .el sport. and more probably still, it es a sport that carne first into being liar our own country. It is pretty sure Ant prehistoric man had his friendly elogs to help hint s'un dozen his game said warn him of the approach of ,¢ne'c; and prrttaps served somec -satrap perpnsc as a heart of burden.

The Eastern, International . Dog etlerby held in the ancient city of Quebec recently 'was a curious in- stance of the fascination tlt.is sport 'rias for all kinds and conditiots of teen. Never since the clays d the -40tr were there gathered on the streets of that city sub crowds as'. were there to see the dogs start and st1tsish, and the dramatist ittcidents of. the rate were followed' by crowds esebund the bulletin boards of the city, ties reports carne ie byT telephone from ``tiarious points Meng the route of the e ei e.®The race was run in three +eats, the distance averaging 4<3Miles ate each day.whici; was by 70 means the lafit day was particularly so: On the first two days Lebell had finished first, although others of the 'eight comiyeting learns had started ahead of him, On the final heat lie started last, and tvonid have . finished first hitt for an unfortunate accident, Another •Brown Corporation team, driven lay' Jim Skeene was the first to appear. It had started ereond„het passed the first early hi the race, and Leer!! folowed.about one 'minute behind. All through the series iA- belt had saved his dogs by taking thern out of the "harness; alternately andgiving them a rest in the sleigh. He had ttiade a bet that he woeld for the third time he thefirst in the stable. When about four smiles from the finish au ds gin strong one a of his dogs suffered d a cut footle There was hard going ahead if that bet was to he won, but Lebell never flinched, The dog sante out of the harness, his foot was bound tip and, wrapped in Lebell's coat; he finished the rest of the journey nc inthe sleigh, t Js e h and if Y ever a dog looked ashamed of himself as his comrades pulled to victory, that dog was theeone. While Skeene beat Lebell to the finishing post, Lebell managed to get into the stable first, and;,,so won his bet. Lebell is a French-Canadian with a fine war record. Fle and his dogs are inseparable chuttas, and when it conies to endurance, the man is about as good as the dogs. Ilse finished the race running beside his team and doing a good share of the ptilling on the sleigh. He is to -day the hero of Quebec and the $1,000 prize and. silver cup, which he won, Is bet a small part of the glory that fell to him. Another international dog race is practically assured for Quebec next year. The Chateau, Pronterfac for this occasion housed a brilliant gath- ering of guests who were interested in the race, "'arid some of these have announced thnt they will secill. that the United: States is well represented. for' rFARM FOR SALE :• Insisting, of 75 acres, being lot 1/54 4, Hay Tp.
