46 THE AJMERICAN HUNTING DOG 



Hard Cash, Manitoba Rap, Alford's John, Jingo, 

 Hal Pointer — these are the dogs we really started

 rano, the f onner a grandson of Rip Rap, and Lady 

 a daughter of King Cyrano. Turning to the dogs 

 now in the stud, we find Silver Sides (Ch. Mani-

 (Fishel's Frank-Lady Johns, a daughter of Al- 

 ford's John), Rags Royal Pauper (Hard Cash- 

 Alford's Royal Pauper), which ought to place him 

 as a grandson of Alford's John, the royal pauper 

 of dogdom. Then there is Champion John Proc- 

 tor (Fishel's Frank-Miss Mariutch), Security 

 (Hard Cash- Alford's Royal Rags), one of the best
