""" ? I
/Remarks were also made by S Pos- |
W M Browu, W S Eaddy and 1
-otters. ilr Eaddy said: "When J
. yoo kill the lien law you will get labor.'
Mr J J M Graham said: "It
'would be a Godseud to repeal the
ikni law. Meu from V irginia had
? i
uever heard of the lien law. There:
' '-hey gi ye notes, wear good clothes,!
M34\.Uive well.'' Representative Bry- j
an, speaking personally, said thej
law is very damaging to the
?x)uuty. Very essential for the!
.farming iuteiests to beiu the hauds!
of the best elements of the people.
Would reduce the credit of the people
20 to 25 per cent only. Representative
W P Gausesaid the man
rwho protests against the repeal of
P the lien law is the one who has raadej
a fortune out of the lieu law. Mr!
i> Boston showed by his remarks that i
f lie was opposed to its repeat.
A general hat collection was taken
np, which amounted to }>9.18?
some of which goes for printing done
by the county paper?the balance is
held as a nucleus for the general,
fund, or State Association expenses, i
Mr J J M Graham moved for a vote
on the repeal of the lien law?a
standing vote, which resulted uuauiuiously
in favor of its repeal.
As to renting of lands Messrs
.3ryan and Graham said that the
rents were too low. Land owners
should get something besides the
m "taxes. Allowance should be made
J rfor improvements, etc.
Mr McCullongh said the whole
question lies there." If rents were
higher lees land would be planted.
Along with a few other remarks,
JPiesidcnt Bryan said: "We must
^ .nganize, to meet the forces opposed
to us.
There being uo further business,
at 1:16 p m the meeting adjourned,
to meet again on the first Monday in
March.

FREAKS OF SPORT.
, How the Geese Beat the Turkeys In a
Ten Mile Race.
I lie historv of sport is made fas,
cinating by many si range incident?.
I 1'rom flip dnvs when John Mvtlou
| accepted a dart* to hunt over frozen
| fields in hi- nightelothes at mid.
11 i11 up to the last election the an;
nals of wafers are full of the most
extraordinary incidents.
No more curious examples of one
of these side i->ues of sport can he
found than is offered by a match j
made when (ieorge IV. was still
Prime of Wales. The match was
a famous one in its day from its ex
' ceptional nature, the parties engag- '
; ed in it and the unexpected denoue- j
j nient. The Hon. (leorge Hanger,
! afterward I.or l Coleraine, was one'
j of the celebrnied and eccentric pprj
sonages of the day. At one of the
'gay parties at Carleton House Mr. i
I Hanger was led, in the course of the
:
j eouversation, to declare that a turi
key could travel faster than a goose.
J The Prince of Wales, who had great;
! confidence in his judgment as to all
matters of "wind, limb and speed,"
agreed with him in this declaration.
A Mr. Berkeley differed from them,;
and a match was at once arranged.j
Twenty turkeys were entered against
twenty geese. The distance to be
trareled was teo miles. The race
was for ?500. Indeed, the confidence
in the turkey* was so great
? ' ini. i Jf A I
Itiai oaus 01 v 10 i were uueicu?
and taken?that these birds would
win The prince at once arranged
to have twenty of the tinest and
gamest turkeyi collected. At the
time and place appointed he met
Mr. Berkeley with his entries of
geese. The race began. From the
start there was every indication that
the turkeys would come in winners
'"hands down" or wings down. The?
tripped onward at a brisk pace,
which the geese. with their heavier:
waddle, were not able to equal. In-'
deed, at the end of three hours the
turkeys were leading by two miles.
But night was falling. As the light
grew less the turkeys displayed signs
of uneasiness. They began to look
at the trees that appeared by the
wavside and edfircd toward them.
Tbe prince, with a pole to which!
was fastened a piece of red cloth,
did what he could to urge them forward.
First one escaped and, raising
itself to a pendant limb, settled
itself down comfortably. This one
; no sooner dislodged than aner
established itself in a like
nner. Barley scattered along the
.jtd did not aid in the least. The
turkeys had concluded that it was
time to turn in, and turn in or turn
oat they did. In e few minutes all
of the twenty were rooeting in trees,
from which it was impossible to
drive them. Meanwhile the geese
came lumbering on. They alowly
passed their si umbering competitors.
The race finished: tfrith ! the- geese
first and the turkeys "nowhere."?
