A 400-mile race for the eastern International dog sled derby cup and cash prizes is to be staged during the carnival weeks at Quebec this winter. The race, inaugurated last year, proved one of the big events of the season. The husky dog team maintained at Chateau Frontenac in the Canadian metropolis will be one of the teams entered. Scores of winter sports lovers enjoyed rides behind this team on Dufferin Terrace last winter, including many Americans who visit the winter play sport annually. Five members have been added to this dog team but the newcomers will be a bit too young to enter this year's race, as the low-er photo shows. These puppies, however, will draw much attention. A number of dog teams arrive from Canada and the northern and western parts of U.S. have been received so.
