The Pointer 311 



of pointer this was, and young Naso puppies were soon seen and got into 

 the prize Hsts. Another dog that got a good many very nice puppies was 

 Tammany, owned by Mr. F. R. Hitchcock, but he could not avoid trans- 

 mitting some of his defects, of which he had a good many, though he was 

 pointer enough to always claim recognition when in the ring. 



There was one dog, however, that came out in 1890 as a puppy that 

 was destined for a most successful show career, and that was Lad of Kent, 

 bred and owned by Mr. George Jarvis. He was sired by Bracket, and 

 out of Renie, who was by Tammany. Lad of Kent lasted uncommonly 

 well, being able to take first in open and winners up to 1900, when he was 

 eleven years old. The Hempstead Farm Kennels was at this time inter- 

 ested in pointers, but it was never shown that any particular line was being 

 followed, dogs and bitches of all and almost any breeding being got together, 

 of which the most successful that we can recall were Duke of Hessen and 

 Woolton Game. Robert le Diable was added to this kennel when getting 

 on in years, but Lad of Kent had his measure in the heavy-weight classes. 

 A new competitor at New York in the early nineties was Mr. T. G. Davey, 

 of London, Ont., who had been quite a setter man at one time. He went 

 in largely for Graphic Kennels stock, and at New York in 1892 showed 

 a very strong team, winning the kennel prize with Westminster Drake, 

 by Lad of Bow, Revelation, by Graphic, and Lady Gay Spanker and 

 Miss Rumor, by Rumor out of Lady Norrish. Mr. Davey used his dogs in 

 the field, but wanted them good looking, and this combination was the means 

 of his disposing of a good lot of dogs at a very remunerative price to Mr. 

 George Gould for show and shooting purposes. Dr. Daniels, of Cleveland, 

 also went in for the same stock so far as Graphic sires were concerned, 

 but was not quite so successful as the Canadian fancier. Dr. Daniels 

 was more fortunate later on, when he got that good dog Plain Sam. 



How potent the blood introduced by Mr. Anthony was is well illustrated 

 by the results at New York in 1903, five years after he had retired, when 

 six firsts and three each of seconds and thirds fell to the credit of first- 

 generation descendants of dogs imported in 1885 and 1886. The Rinada 

 Kennel was another prominent factor at this time, but it was a short-lived 

 combination of good dogs, to one of whom, Prince Regent, we owe many 

 good descendants. Mr. George S. Mott bred his Spinett to Prince Regent 

 and got Sir Walter, Prince's Lad, Prince's Boy, Sir George, and one or 

 two others, all good-looking pointers and one or two exceedingly good.
