The Pointer. 263 



Mr. R. Chapman, Glenboig, Mr. James Bishop, who, 

 with many others in various parts of the country, 

 have made a name for themselves as the owners of 

 pointers of more than usual excellence. Mr. Barclay 

 Field, who died in the early winter of 1892, also 

 possessed a lot of dogs that had done good work at 

 Field Trials. 



Near Macclesfield, in Cheshire, Mr. C. H. Beck, 

 at Upton Priory, has perhaps bred as good pointers 

 as anyone during the present generation. His 

 Rapid Ben, Busy Ben, Quail of Upton, Quits Baby 

 were equally good in looks and work, and Naso of 

 Upton, so successful on the bench, has already been 

 mentioned. 



Perhaps no one has had a more successful lot of 

 pointers, so far as field trial work is concerned, with 

 the slight addition of good looks, than Mr. J. H. 

 Salter, of Tolleshunt d'Arcy, Kelvedon, Essex. 

 Some of his very best dogs have been black or black 

 and white, and, in one or two cases, brown, or liver 

 and white ticked, oddly marked, almost, approach- 

 ing " roan " in appearance. They were originally 

 descended from Mike and Romp, the latter being 

 by Francis's Chang out of Brackenbridge's Romp ; 

 Mike by Price's Bang Miller's Sella, and moreover 

 they went back to Brockton's Bounce and White- 

 house's Hamlet. There never was better blood
