Any Information About the Southern Illinois FHA Field Trial and Bench Show Going On Now?

Would anybody know any information concerning the first day's running of the Southern Illinois annual field trail and bench show held at the Paradise Hills Enclosure in mid-south Illinois? The pen has over 200 acres of non-harvested mature field corn in it and those old corn plant blades will cut the numbers right off of a good hard running hound for certain. The area has been dry lately and the soil in those big fields is probably as hard as concrete. This trial will surely test the metal of a good hound. Good luck to those with entries. Any one know anything for sure? Chuck Richey

A reliable source told me this evening that John Hoehner won first and second in the derby stake at the Southern Illinois FHA annual field trial today. Monty Sullivan and Mike St. Ledger (S.O.S. Kennels) placed three in the top ten in the derby and Rex Moreland had one in the top. Heard that Ch. M & S Bella still ahead in the AA stake after the first two days of hard running.
