DOGS ARE CHIEF FIGURES IN HUNT Fox Is Seldom Killed in Ozark Sporting Event Bentonville, Ark., Jan. 14 —It's 4 long “View Halloa” from the aristocratic fox hunts of Long Island oclety to the annual camp meet- 185 and cosmopolitan gatherings of Ozarks, but it's sport just the ime, Sportsmen of northwest and north \rkansas assemble by hundreds an- nually to enjoy the “chase” of the nountain red fox. Only the dogs do the chasing, and ‘he hunts take place at night, while ywners sit in comfort beside hastily rade camp fires and listen to the ng bays or eager barks which in- icate to the ears of the experts the logs positions in the race. Fox Seldom Killed Seldom does the chase extend to he “death.” A fox is caught or Kill- od only through accident. The hunters band into county or- ganizations, of which the Benton ounty association is oldest in this section. They come from the ranks of lawyers, doctors, contractors, mechanics, orchardists, farmers, and laborers. Not only is the hunt not followed by horse, owing to abundance of hills and ravines, but few horses are seen in the camps nowa Men ind dogs come by automobile. The dogs range from valuable, pedigreed animals to the ‘“pot-licker” variety or “Just dog."” the | Eentertainment for “Hunters” A city of tents springs up at a different spot each year. Old-time fiddlers~and old-fashioned “square dances” furnish _entertainment through the week. Races are held each day among the dogs to whet competition, and an annual “bench | show” s another feature. | The chase begins about nightfall. Several packs, numbering from 15 to 20 dogs each, are tramsported by automobile to different quarters. The dogs are released few at a time, | until the whole pack takes up the | scent. Then other packs and several hunts ma | within a radius of five or six miles. Varying characteristics of dogs and foxes give the races endless variety.
