OMAHA , Dec. 12.-To the Sporting Editor :
.f The Dee : I know you are a devotee of

llvo this space.
Much has been talked and many laws ]
made , but little has been fone towards practical -
deal game protection In this section of the
world. Small game of aU kinds which a
: tow jyeara [ ! ago was very penliful : , Is fast
being thinned out . and the prospect 'Is that
In a very short time western sportsmen wilt
have : to content themselves with a very
moderate bag. I know I run counter 'to a
, good deal of written opinion when I state
a my boiler that to about 99 per cent of our
sportsmen the anticipation and realization
' * Df a good bag : Is the dominant pleasure of
{ their outing but I get the belief from a very
varied acquaintance.
However , I believe that fully the same
per cent of our shooters would be glad to
Bee some decided steps taken to protect our ,
gnme. I think laws can be framed that will \ i
. , do this , and will have the good will and I
lupport. of the entire community , and their
enforcement be . therefore , a comparatively
easy matter
' In the states where I am acquainted with
t the situation game laws are practically disregarded .
regarded ; there are occasional complaints
made and rarer convictions and these corn-
plaints are oftener the result of some per-
Eonal malice or local prejudice rather than
' . ' the proper enforcement of a popular law
' Fr9m what I read antI hear this ts the
+ , situation throughout the western states
I F t day. All kinds ot laws have been placed
t t on the statute books but the game atilt '

PAXTON : Neb . Dec. 13-To the Sporting
Editor oC The Dee : I see by last Sunday's
nee that our mutual friend J. C. Read has
painted himself up In Iridescent shape. He
Is after big game and I think , will have
no trouble In finding It. I know plumbers
have lots of nerve but didn't think they
had a load IIIle Mr. Reed has on board
In the first place he wants to shoot any
resident of Nebraska and wants to shoot
them on Iowa soli. Secondly he wants
Colonel Parmeleo to manage the affair and
American association rules to gonrn. Now
I am not anxious to shoot but will accommodate -
date Mr. Reed If he allows a challenge party
his rIghts. I reside forty-five miles north
oC Paxton but ItIr. ! . Reed will bring the
colonel , traps and other outfit to Paxton , I
will shoot him his little match. Tire , only !
concession I ask Is that I be allowed to i
shoot my ten-guage gun and I promlsc the
gentleman that when he gets back to Omaha
he will realize he has been at a shooting
match. AU he- has to do Is to notify mo
through The Bee and I will cover his money
and shoot him on two days' notice Don't
need any time for practice ,

, To the Sporting Edllcr of The Dee : In
Sumlay's Dee Richard Francis has a very
creditable article on "The Cocker Spaniel In

serves credit for the apparent effort he has
made to "round up" the Omaha cockers It :
some fancier oC each of the other - breeds
would do IIItewlse some Interesting chapters
might be written on the Omaha "fancy "
and thus stimulate action that would result '
In some good , possibly an Omaha bench

article R , F. says , "Bul I am wandering. "
' This reminds me oC a song we sang when a
boy-"Oh , how I love 10 roam abroad and

must say I am at a loss to know what the

eastern people Kennel clubs are growing

Moines , Rockford , ill , and many other small

Omaha ought to 'bo In it ; " It may be
pertinent , to ash why one so much Interested
In the "tancy" as n. F . pretends to be should
be at a loss to know what the kennel club
Is doing
The kennel club was organized for the pur-
peso of promoting the Interests of breeders
and owners of thoroughbred dogs and nil
fanciers of Omaha ( certaInly the breeders ) ,
who really desire an annual bench show
ought to take enough Iqterelt 11\ the club to
become members and gin' It their hearty
support , both financially and by , personal
attendance and work. If such Interest were
taken In the matter no one would be at a
"IOBB to know what the kennel club Is
doing "
It requires two Important elements to give
even a mushroom show In Omaha : viz men
and money 'Ve ought to be able to find
enough real live fanciers In Omaha to furnish .
nl.h tile Drat element , and It can't be that
the "eastern people" have aU the money
The writer believes there Is money enough
In Omaha . to back up a good show , to be
given next March , following the ChicAgo
show ; but : the kennel club needs a few more
good men to get out and rustle and raise
the Itua for backing say ' 600. What , can
be done about It , R. F.1 If you can not

Ashland Survives the Shock
ASHLAND Neb „ Dec. 9.-To the Sport-
Ing Editor ' ot The Dee : The death blow
that foot ball In Ashland was thought to
have received In the Injuries of Elmer Hays
and Frank Enlow the two halfbacks In the
Ashland-Deatrlee game was not a death blow
at all. The men have recovered and the
game will live There Is but little doubt
that the foot ball season or 1895 will find
gay and festive little Ashland with ono of
tile sturdiest little high school teams that
ever fell on the pig skin The prospect for a
strong team Is most flattering , although
Brush , Hays Whistler and Young of the
far-famed team oC 1893 will take their departure -
parlure Cram the high school gridiron with
the close of this school year but with the
large number of aspirants for their cast-olr
bruises there Is no fear whatever that
Ashland has reached the zenith In foot ball
glory , but will put forth every effort to
place ono moro star on her diadem of vie-
torles.

The fourth annual' banquet of the Tourist

of twenty-five of the club members about all
that are left of the once moat popular club
but ' theme few were all wheelmen and enjoyed
themselves as wheelmen can. The club at.
tended the evening performance of "In Old

Ducker II the originator of the famous Spring-
l1eld' meets and ( was considered years ago till i
best posted and most enthusiastic of wheel-
men.
men.The Referee Is authority tor the follow-
Ing : "There are indications that sooner or
later the League of American Wheelmen
will have to recognize professionalism. The
time to do It and prevent the birth of a
rIval racing organization Is at the next meet-
Ing of the assembly . " It docs look that way
to a casual observer and It Is too bad ! The
league has ! fostered amateur racing , and has
really paid more attention to racing and
race events than to the building up of road-
ways and other minor affairs , which are sup-
posed to be a portion of the league's work
and now the foster child has grown so large
and unruly that the parents can't handle It.
The main question that assails the car of the
league official on every hand when he docs
a little recruiting Is : "What benefit do I
get for becoming a member of the League oC
AmerIcan Wheelmen ? " For answer the
official l can point with pride to the miles
upon miles of unfinished roadways hundreds
of cases of road imagism unpunished , and the
gay cavalcade of class D racing men , He
knows that there are a few racIng men who
como out openly and above board and ride
for the good cold ducats These cannot Join
the League of American Wheelmen He
knows that there are hundreds of racing
men making their living out ot bicycle
racing who can . under the broad wings of
class D. receive the protection of the League
of American Wheelmen They are In truth
professional only under cover To the
casual observer there Is no dllrerenee.
Either banish class D or let down the bars
and admit the "professionals " or make
racing a side Issue and devote the energy
to the mass of cyclists who want good roads ,
an end ot hoglsm and a protective body that
benefits the wheelmen at large
The club season of 1894 has drawn to a
close as far as the Tourist Wheelmen are
concerned and II may be interesting to the
Tourists and their friends to review the
past season and compare it I with tile previous ?
years of the club's existence Captain
Walker has proved himself to be an efficient
and conclentlously ) liard working officer , and
Ills club males appreciate his services lIe

have not ridden as they should , and yet feels
elated that his cluU mileage Is equal to If
net far In excess ot that recorded by clubs
