Messrs. Wvnuin aud Buchanan's Kathleen and Mr. R. LI. Pureell 

 Llewelliu's Dashing Boudhu were really the first brace workod. 

 Kathleen, who Mas Tour weeks gone m pup, of course went slowly, 

 Bondhii Showing off well. The bitch began with a false point, and 

 Was iudift'enmtly backed. The dog then found a brace, Kathleen 

 backing him readily. In a rushy meadow, the dog false pointed 

 too. but in the next he pointed a hare, aud was well backed again, 

 and in a clover field, he found a bird capitally. He again found, a 

 brace this time, aud won vary easily. Sir Thos. Lonnard's pointer 

 Priam and Mr. R, Lloyd Prices pointer Belle Faust had a short 

 but decisive run. Priam took a false point, and was backed 

 superbly from one end of the field to the other. Then Priam 

 dropped beautifully to a hare, and the hitch chased another hare 

 clean out of the field, yapping after it, and was thereby put out. 



For first ties, Laurel ami Sam appeared. Sam (los'bcd a brace, 

 and Laurel pulled up just in time to another, Sam hacking her 

 well i then both ran into another brace. Then Laurel false pointed 

 and Sam fonud a brace, and Laurel also pointed another, then 

 Sam again knocked up a bird, there being palpably no scent. Wo 

 then wont to a tine clover Held, when Sam pointed a hare. Laurel 

 performing an excellent back. Then she found three buds, they 

 were running on bare ground in front of her and she blinked them, 

 then ran back to tbcm again and put them up. She then pointed 

 a lark and found a bird, Sam taking the point unwittingly, and the 



Alter luncheon Countess Rose and Tick camo up, and were 

 Slipped m a lfcng uskow Wheat Held. Where Tick false pointed, and 

 in the next field Counters [loso did the same, but in some rushes; 

 she pointed, and it turned i lut 1 1 • be a moorhen. Throughout she 

 quartered her ground beautifully, but in the next field she missed 

 a bu-d which she might and ought Lo have found, and in her next 

 run she flashed a brace of birds, dropping to wing. Then 'Tick 

 potter d np to two birds which ware running before her; aha 

 t oi ped,. nd they rose: tt was not a good point by any means; 



Prince and Boudhu had a very sharp and rpiick trial. Dashing 

 Boudhu fonud a brace at very long range, loading them well, anil 

 in Ins -a--. i •'■.',. ■ ■ h. found another braco again, Roth dogs wont 

 at a rattling pace, but Prince Wants "lunshins'' touches to his edu- 

 cation. However, he next pa inted, sod Boudhu backed him ex- 

 ceedingly well ; the birds got up, settled Sgain, and then Boudhu 

 found the birds also : a very good bit of work on Bondhn's part. 



For second ties 1'iinm and Laurel camo up, when Priam put up 

 two brace which he should have pointed, and when Laurel got on 

 birds he wont behind her and took them too. Then ho false 

 pointed, aud the (lag wont up for the bitch. This had been a very 

 long and tedious trial, as no birds could bo found. Tick anil 

 Bondhu ran next. Boudhu found a brace, reading them up the 

 hill a tremendously long way ; and Tick also found a brace, and 

 then another, and Boudhu again pinned another hi ace down in the 

 hollow near the fence. Tick then false pointed, while Bondhu 

 took two good points iu superb style aud won, For the final be- 

 came against Laurel. In a bare field Bondhu found a brace, aud 

 in the next they repeated I v p icked up the scent of a hare which 

 had cantered across the whole length of the field; but the hitch 

 having declined to back Boudhu on his previous point, and ho be- 

 ing always ready to do so, ho won. A drizzling rain was then 

 steadily pouring down, aud the meeting dispersed without MSv 

 votes of thanks being offered ta the fudges or to Mr. BrewiS; an 

 oversight, clearly, o u pari oi thi few spaotatoM who i ipirite 



however, were too much damped to admitofar i eh ■, :,,, 



fictitiouslv raised. And thus ended, vcrv puet'lv, the K. C, Field 

 Trial Spring Meeting for 1SS1. 



No mention was made by the judgee at their award as to the K. 

 C. challenge cup. which, it was officially slated some time ago. was 

 to lie run for simultaneously with the AU-Agcd Stakes: but we 

 presume that Mr. Pilkingtoii takes it this year with his Laurel, 

 since that hitch ran second to the winner, and her owner Is (wo 

 believe we are right in saying) a number of the K.C.

The list, though small, is said by our correspondent, to have 

 contained some excellent dogs, and next season we trust to see the 

 number of entries largely increased. 



VALUABLE BITCH POISONED.— I have had the misfortune 



to lose the line Gordon hitch Fannie. She was poisoned in or near 

 my yard on Tuesday last by some scoundrel. She was out of 

 imported Hope by imported champion (house, and was the prop- 

 erty of my friend, Mr. A. H. Thomas, of Warrensburgh, N. J., 

 who valued her very highly and greatly feels the loss, as she was 

 not only thoroughly broken and an excellent field dog, but so 

 ktnd, affectionate and intelligent. She had many friends. I will 

 give fifty dollars for any information that will lead to the disixivery 

 of the brute that poisoned hor.— Y?. H. PiaacE.
