Other sons of Antonio which are suggested by 

 the mention of Tony Boy and Rodfield are Cham- 

 pion Joe Gumming and Champion Tony's Gale, 

 both dogs of the usual Llewellin color and superb 

 field abilities. Dash Antonio was the equal of 

 either, though less distinguished. 



Among the dogs descended from the Gleam 

 side of the Llewellin house one of the best was 

 the lemon-and-white Gleam's Sport. In actual 

 ranging and finding ability he was regarded as 

 the foremost dog of two seasons. At that time, 

 however, his color was less respected than it is 

 now and, like many of the Gleams, he had very 

 little of merry style in the field. Dogs were 

 placed over him in the trials which did not equal 

 him in solid work but surpassed him in attractive- 

 ness of style. His son, Marie's Sport, long the 

 property of Judge H. B. Ledbetter of Farmington, 

 Missouri, was also a little unfortunate in getting 

 somewhat less than the best of it from the field 

 trial judges. Yet, since he got considerably more 

 than justice on the bench, his supporters had no 

 right to complain. Marie's Sport was white- 

 black-tan, one side of his head being white. He 

 was a powerful dog of medium size, and game 

 to the last degree. His success in the stud was 

 remarkable from the first. His sons and daugh- 

 ters include the winners, Sport's Gath, Sport's 

 Belle, Champion Sport's Boy, Sport's Solomon,
