THE POINTER. 139 



imported; and with the experience gained in the trials, and 

 the exercise of the principles of scientific breeding, there is 

 every reason to believe that the Pointer will always hold 

 his place in the front rank of our sporting dogs. 



At the same time, as now bred, he needs more enthusi- 

 asm in his work, and should carry a higher head than he 

 does, feeling more for the body-scent and less for the foot- 

 scent of game, and working out his ground with more judg- 

 ment. In these respects, the Setter has been wonderfully 

 developed and improved by the field trials. The Pointer 

 has among his promoters many of our leading sportsmen, 

 and all that money can accomplish, united with earnest 

 endeavor and intelligent experimentation, will doubtless be 

 done to make him the equal of the Setter in every respect. 

 The organization of a club, in 1888, devoted to his interests 

 and development, is also a move in the right direction; and 

 if the counsels of this body are wisely governed, it can 

 accomplish much in unifying the interests of the breed in 

 America, making the types of breeding more uniform, and 

 securing proper recognition for the Pointer.
