134 THE AMERICAN BOOK OF THE DOG. 



ported in utero, and whelped August 24, 1883, is another 

 of our noted Pointers who has just passed into the great 

 hunting-grounds beyond the setting sun. His death occurred 

 on February 16, 1889. His dam, Moonstone, was a full sister 

 of the St. Louis Kennel Club's Bow, and of Young Bang, 

 the sire of Croxteth and Priam. He was a strong, heavy- 

 weight, liver-and-white ticked dog, lacking somewhat in 

 symmetry, but built for the manifestation of power in the 

 field, where he achieved his greatest successes. He won 

 first in the Eastern Field Trials Club's members' stake, and 

 first in the all-aged Pointer stake, in 1887, defeating several 

 prominent competitors, and has left a number of descendants 

 who aid in sustaining his good reputation. His bench win- 

 nings were: Third, Philadelphia, 1885; second, Newark, 

 1886; second, Hartford, 1886; first, New York, 1886: first, 

 New York, and first, Hartford, 1887; second, Boston, in 1887; 

 and in champion class in 1888. The immediate ancestors 

 of Tammany were such excellent dogs as Garth's Drake, 

 Doll, Coham's Bang, Price's Yesta, Lord Cole's Cole, 

 Francis' Bell, Brockton's Bounce, Postan's Yenus, Hamlet, 

 Mite, Ranger, Jilt, and Don. He was one of the few 

 Pointers we have had in this country who displayed the 

 same style and courage on game that is manifested by the 

 best strains of Setters. 



Champion Nick of Naso, by Naso II. and Pettigo, is a 

 handsome liver-and-white dog, imported from England at 

 great expense, and has achieved a worthy prominence in 

 Pointer circles, being a well-known winner on the bench, 

 and in the field trials proving himself a formidable com- 

 petitor, where he also won deserved honors. He has also 

 proven a useful and valuable sire. 



Another excellent dog is the liver-and-white ticked dog 

 Duke of Yernon, owned by Mr. L. Gardner, of Mount 

 Yernon, N. Y., and exhibited at the various shows in recent 

 years. He manifests strong Pointer character, is admirably 

 set on his legs, symmetrical and strong, and with a per- 

 fectly carried stern. His winnings are: First and two 

 specials, Buffalo, 1888; second, Richmond, 1888, when in
