Frog-Jumping Spat Ends In Sparks, Twain
A spat involving the organisers of the Calaveras County Fair in California and its annual Jumping Frog Jubilee has led to plans for duelling frog-hopping contests this year. The Angels Camp Boosters Club, which has judged the jubilee since its inception in 1928, has decided to host its own jumping frog-contest. The event is inspired by `The Celebrated Jumping Frog Of Calaveras County’, Mark Twain's tale of how a gambler secretly fills his opponent's frog with buckshot.
