The Pointer 311 
of pointer this was, and young Naso puppies were soon seen and got into 
the prize lists. 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.
