among others the field trial winner, Cornerstone, 

 he the sire of Judge Guinotte's winner, Bertraldo. 



The Eastern men continued to import some 

 large dogs. One of the handsomest was Graphic, 

 a beautiful liver-and-white dog, a little long in the 

 body but with fine chest and with a head as long 

 and shapely as that of the best setters. His son. 

 Lad of Bow, was a still more showy and impressive 

 dog. 



The New York show of 1889 probably pre- 

 sented the finest collection of pointers ever seen 

 on the bench in this country and is interesting 

 in history as having brought together the dogs 

 of the first and second epochs — the meeting kiss 

 of the old and the new. The pointer men had 

 always avoided one cause of dispute by divid- 

 ing their dogs into classes on the bench — light 

 weights and heavy weights. In this show appeared 

 Bang Bang, Graphic, Lad of Bow, Bracket, Beppo 

 II, Rumor, Duke of Vernon, Brake, and Pontiac. 

 Among the light-weight dogs were King of Kent 

 and Duke of Hessen, two dogs which figured in 

 the revolution of field trial pointers and are now 

 constantly found in the studbook pedigrees. With 

 eighteen in the light-weight class. King of Kent 

 was first and Duke of Hessen second. Speci- 

 mens of the other sex in that show were Meally, 

 Bloomo, Revel III, Queen Fan, Lass of Bow, and 

 Sally Brass II.
