sensational on point, and impressing anyone who saw him 

 with the beautiful character and expression of his head, his 

 grand frame, and muscular development. His legs and 

 feet were excellent, his carriage lofty; never trailing, but 

 hunting for the body-scent, going at a steady, long-striding 

 gallop over the roughest of ground, and never seeming to 

 be tired. He was also a superior all-around dog, being as 

 good on ruffed grouse and snipe as he was on quails. A 

 sketch, representing him in one of his grand points, at 

 High Point, IS". C., in 1882, was published in Forest and 

 Stream, December, 1882, and was copied by European sport- 

 ing papers. He was also painted by the well-known artist, 

 Mr. J. M. Tracy, when on point, handsomely backed by 

 Sensation, the picture being now owned by the Westminster 

 Kennel Club. 



Another excellent stud dog that has just passed away, 

 leaving many noted descendants, was Bang-Bang, by Price's 

 Bang, out of Princess Kate. He was bred by Mr. F. C. 

 Lowe in January, 1881, and imported to this country in 

 July, 1882. Previous to leaving England, he won the puppy 

 stakes at Shrewsbury, including the champion puppy stake; 

 the 50 prize at the Blandford Trials, the third puppy stake 

 and all-aged stake at the St. Hubert Trials, Belgium, and 

 first at the Crystal Palace Show, in 1882. In this country, 

 his winnings were: Second, Cleveland; first, light-weight 

 Pointer sweepstakes, New York, 1884; first, Philadelphia, 

 1885; first, Waverly, 1887; first, Syracuse, 1888; field-trials 

 Pointer stake, Eastern Field Trials Club, 1885; divided 

 second in same stake, 1886. Bang- Bang was an attractive 

 lemon-and- white dog, built on wonderful racing lines, of 

 grand style, fine nose, and excellent disposition. 



Pointer breeders are also indebted to Champion Graphic 

 for the contribution of certain excellent qualities to our 

 American kennels. He is by Fursdon' s Juno, out of Leach' s 

 Bonus Sancho; was whelped April 15, 1881, and bred by 

 Mr. Norrish, of Devonshire, England. His sire, Bonus
