the running time taken by the whi-

race was wou by Jean Lebell and his

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

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

him.
