X 6 biographical sketches 



sadly handicapped in developing their young dogs owing to the fact that there are 

 few available trainers in British Columbia. Assiniboine Rodfield has been the most 

 successful winner in trials of dogs owned by the Burrard kennels. 



While living at Winnipeg he judged trials both at Brandon and La Salle, and 

 was frequently asked to judge at other points. Since residing at Vancouver he has 

 frequently been solicited to judge at both field trials and bench shows, but he does not 

 care to accept duties of this kind, preferring the role of competitor. 



Besides being the secretary of the Vancouver Field Trial Club, Mr. Rolston is 

 president of the Vancouver Poultry Association, member of the executive of the Van- 

 couver Hunt Club, and connected with many sporting clubs and organizations, and is 

 now devoting considerable spare time and deriving a very great deal of pleasure in 

 training hackney horses. 



N. WALLACE. 



After his debut as field-trial judge at the Central Field Club Trials, held at 

 Lexington, N. C, in 1889, he served quite regularly as field trial judge at the differ- 

 ent trials in many successive years. He possesses, in a distinct degree, the impartiality 

 of judgment, industry and skill in management, besides the thorough knowledge of 

 field and field trial work, which are so essential to sound decisions' in respect to field 

 trial competition. 



In recent years he has judged infrequently as compared to his active judicial ser- 

 vices in the 8o's and 90's, as he is not in sympathy with the constant bickerings of late 

 years; but field clubs now eagerly avail themselves of his services whenever he will 

 consent to act as judge. 



In later years the practical sport with dog and gun, for sport's sake, afield, ap- 

 peals to him stronger and more pleasantly than does the exacting duties of field trial 

 judge. In the latter capacity he has that desirable quality of judgment, or faculty, of 

 selecting, as winners, dogs which prove their worth in later trials and establish them- 

 selves to be consistent class performers. All judges have, not that ability. 



Mr. Wallace, in pursuit of sport afield, has shot over a vast region of the United 

 States. He is a man of fine physique, large and powerful, a living example of the 

 benefits of an active life with dog and gun. As a companion he is quiet, considerate, 

 courteous and pleasant. He fancies setters, pointers and fox hounds, and looks upon 

 them as faithful servants and good friends, bestowing upon them the kindest treat- 

 ment, as becomes a true sportsman. 



The early spring, summer and fall finds Mr. Wallace a very busy man, but his 

 work is laid aside in the winter season, when he spends his time on his large game 

 preserve in South Carolina, and where, surrounded with his comforts, if one is for- 

 tunate enough to have visited him he will never regret or forget it. Surrounded with 

 his faithful dogs, which give him such a variety of sport, quail, snipe and woodcock 

 shooting, and his hounds in pursuit of fox and wildcats, together with fine fishing, 

 every moment of his time is passed pleasantly. Mr. Wallace was born in Avoca, Steu- 

 ben county, N. Y., June 18, 1851. He has resided at Farmington, Conn., since 1866.
