 but was beaten bv Croxteth. Cerfrude ran a good race in the 

 -National Deri iv of ISS1, although she did not get a place. Last 

 year at the chicken trials she divided third; she has also w,,o

 Rah, who is a fast and wide ranger, and before he had got 



r-etl led he was beaten by Gerty, who is a very careful, level- 

 headed bitch, flab started at, Sliced and soon scored a flush, 

 while Gorty made a bea.utiii.il point, which rlab at once hon- 

 ored in graud stvle. The bird was flushed to order hy Orth 

 and missed, (lertv dropping to shoot w-hile. Rati moved on a 

 step or two. A little further on Rab put up one, and Gertyat 

 once followed suit. Bab then swung round when the last 

 bml got up, and pointed. Gertv bat-king him nicely, when the 

 rest of the bevy flushed beyond them. Moving on Gertv half 

 pointed a. rabbit, and soon-after she pinned abra.ee of buds. 

 Which Rab also pointed; Smith flushed them and scored a 

 miss, both dogs remaining steady. They were then ordered 

 up and the heat was awarded to ffcrM-iide. Down eleven 

 minutes.

were a., w called for. but Rue not being on hand we went to 

 lunch. Afterlunch we returned to where the last heat was 

 finished, and they were cast Otf in the open Ueld. Rue has 

 been iii the papers often, and is well known to our readers as 

 a .noted winner on the bench. She was purchased by her 

 ..win rat the N.v. York -ho-.v last spring at the long price of 

 s-l.nno. sle w«s dead lame from au accident to her foot whde 

 crossing u fence, and ran most of the time on three legs. She 

 is quite speedy and stylish, a wide ranger, and ha3 a good 



years ago. He also ran' in both the Members' and All- Aged 

 Stakes here last year, but was not placed. Rue was the first 

 to find, but had not fairly established her point when two 

 birds were flushed by her handler in going to her: he 

 shot at one but missed it, Rue remaining steady. 

 Both dogs, thou disappeared in the pines and were found point- 

 ing .lose together, but the bird flushed before the judges came 

 up. Rue then ero.-sed a gullv and made a stylish point. Brock 

 was called up to back, but the bird flushed wild before he got 

 there; thla was very well done by Rue, Working in a little 

 further, we swung back and she soon had another pinned. 

 Brock backing her in good style, she drew on a few- steps 

 I and located her bird in lirst-elawi style. Thayer, to order, 

 'flushed and killed the bird, which Rue retrieved fairly well. 

 Working on Rue again pointed very prettily iust a- a lard 

 i rose in front of her, she held her poinl Staunchly, and Thayer, 

 to order, pul tip the bird and killed it. and Brock retrieved 

 very well. A little further on one got u]i n.-ar line in thedry 

 leaves. We then crossed the road where Rue made a hand- 

 some point .just a ml before a bird Hushed in front Of her. 



The dogs were t hen ordered up and the heat awarded to Rue.

\\ e then swung round, where some of the birds were marked 

 down, and Buck pointed a single in the dry leaves, but the 

 bird llu-hed w ild a- the judges came up. and the dog got no 

 credil lor it, Taking a long turn up a hollow both dogs chal- 

 lenged, but could make, milling ot it; but as we Came back

 place. Following theffl up two were Hushed by .Mr. Smith, 

 and a little tort h-r on Buck half pointed, but before he wa.- 

 rigid several birds got up wild and then his bird Bushed, Then 

 Don made a stylish point, which w.i = gracefully honored by 

 Buck. Smith flushed the bird to order, but did not shoot. 

 This was a very creditable piece oi work, ,-e it wa.- among the 

 dry leaver. We then took unite a turn, working back towai d 

 the town without a tiiid until we came to a Urge open field, 

 where Coster walked into a line. hew. Following them up 

 Buck pointed veiA nicely a bird which soon flushed itself.

 and worked over the held nearly to the road, where Buck

 came and backed him indifferently, and was a trifle un- 

 steady to wing, when Coster, to order, put up the bevy, 

 killing one, Buck dropped to shot and remained steady 

 until ordered to retrieve, when Corinne went on and brought

 to establish a poinl. two or three of' them getting up ahead of

 have pointed. We t hen worked down a brunch a short dis- 

 tance, when the spectators put up a bevy which went over a 



. hill, except two or. three w hich settled near us— one of them 

 being flushed by Corinne. We then worked toward the rest 

 of them, and Buck jumped into a very gamy point. Coster, 

 to order, flushed the birds, but did not shoot. They were 

 then ordered up, and the heal was awarded to Buck, 'Down, 

 including about twenty minute-' wait, one hour and twenty 



lmuules.

were at once called and put down on the same ground, Mean- 

 time several birds had got up all around us. Working down 

 a gully, Gertrude ran into one down wind and flushed it, for 

 which she. was not to blame. Hue then swung iutu some 

 woods, where she located a single in a very stylish manner. 

 Thayer, to order, put up the biro', but did not shoot. Soon 

 after two or three birds flushed wild ahead of Rue. We then 



beat through some, sedge to the. woods, and turned back to 

 where the last birds settled, one of which R.ue pinned in fine 

 style. Gertrude backing in equal good form. Tho bird was 

 flushed by Thayer to order, but not shot at. "We 

 then turned back and beat out, the sedge to the 

 road which we followed east a short distance to a patch of 

 sedge which we worked out to some low pines, where Gerty 

 challenged to the scent of a hew and commenced loading them 

 very nicely, when Rue carne'up and getting their course. 

 swung- out' after theiu and located them, making a beautiful 

 point.' This was very well done, and they were ordered up, 

 and Rue was awarded the heat. Down one hour and fourteen 

 minutes. It wus now- nearly dark, and we started for town. 

 It is but fair to Gertv to say that she appeared to be all off. 

 and did not run in her usual good form. This ended thesecoud 

 -cries, leaving only Buckellew and Rue to compete for the 

 pl-i xe, FoUo w ing is the sum i n ary !

Third Serifs. 



HCCKELLEW AXP RLE. 



Tuesday morning we left the hotel a little before W o'clock 

 and took" an easterly course. The weather was delightful, 

 giving promise of a splendid day for shooting. The dogs were 

 put down at two minutes past's a short distance east of the 

 town in a piece of wood.-, and worked down a branch to au 

 open field, wliich Was drawn blank. We then went down the 

 road through some woods where Hue challenged and roa.rfed 



Workiug through a large orchard where a crop of millet had 

 been raised both dogs ranged wide and well, Rue having a 

 little the be-t of Buck iu speed, she had partially recovered 

 from hei lameu, - - and a 'M .a "eni.; v r.-a,lixed that she must put 

 her lamest as well as her best foot forward. Buck, however, 

 was the first to find, making a capital point to a large bevv in 

 some, tall weeds. Bee struck the trail of the same bevv and 

 i oaded it out very nicely, locating the birds in fine style. 

 Coster, to order, put up the birds and killed a very neat right 

 and left. Buck when sent to retrieve picked up liis bird and 

 started with it iu his mouth to get the. other but turned to the 

 whistle, and delivered his bird in faultless style. Rue then 

 equally well brought, the other which was only winged. This 

 was a very pretty piece of work. 



We then worked over the field to the edge ef some woods, 

 where a fresh bevy flushed from a thicket and settled among 

 the pines. Leaving our horses we followed them across a 

 gully. Rue, struck them first and made a beautiful point 

 which Buck instantly honored. Thayer, to order, put up the 

 birds, but did not shoot. We then worked over the ground to 

 find if anj' were left, but only two were found, one of them 

 being Hushed by the iudges. and the other getting up wild 

 some distance ahead of Ruck. We then went through the 

 woods to ,. el.-.v.-r h.ld, which we crossed to a thicket, where 

 both dogs struck -cent, and moved on into the cover, where 

 Buck pointed; Rue swung round toward him and also pointed 

 a bird which flushed itself a second or two after. Then at 

 least twentv-five got up all around us, both dogs remaining 

 steady. One of the birds settled in the grass, and Rue made 

 a nice point to it just a second before it got up. Crossing a 

 creek, we followed them to a thicket, where Rue winded 

 them, and with her head high in the air, located them in 

 capital style. .Meantime Buck got in a very gamy 

 point to the same bird, which flushed as we came 

 up. A few of them had ran and Rue struck the trail 

 aud roaded them out very nicely. Buck, who was a little to 

 one side, backed her, and as she" moved on. he drew a few 

 steps and made n nice point to a very largp bevy, which rose 

 as we came up. and several scattered birds also got up at the 

 noise. We then swung into some pines, where Rue made a 

 beautiful point, which Buck instantly honored in grand style. 

 Judge Adams, shooting for Thayer, flushed the bird and 

 scored a miss, both dogs remaining steady. Rue then moved 

 on a little and again pointed, and two more were put up. 

 They were then ordered up and the heat was awarded to Rue, 

 who was declared the winner of the Members' Cup. Down 

 one hour and thirteen minutes. This was a. capital heat, the 

 work of both dogs being of a high order of merit. Following 

 is a summary:

ALL-AGED STAKE. 



OHJS noNimc and ( AaniE j. 



Immediately after the finish of the Members' Stake this 

 brace was called tO open the ball in the All Aged Stake. Gus 

 Bondhu came to the post iu excellent condition, and ran a 

 much better race than we expected to see. judging from hi- 

 previous performances. He ran last vear in the National 

 Derby, and was beaten by Carrie J. in his first heat, by Pink 

 B. for second place, and liv Bess A. for third. He also' ran in 

 the Louisiana Derby, and 'was beaten by Biddy in his first 

 heat. Carrie J. also showed up in capital form. She was 

 entered in the Chicken Trials Derby last year, but did no! 

 start. At the National Trials last December she divided third 

 with American Dan in the All-Aged Stake, beating Gilderoy 

 and Startle and was beaten by the winner. Sue. iii the third 

 series and by Peep o' Day for second place. In the National 

 Derby at the same meeting she beat Gus Bondhu, Pride of 

 Memphis and Pink B. and won first. 



Gus Bondhu was handled bv D. C. Sanborn, Bowling. Mich, 

 and Carrie J. by H. M. Short. Middleton. Tenn. The dogs 

 were cast off in a large field of sedge and weeds: both moved 

 very well at a fair rate of speed, (ins in a gamy, busmen-like 

 way, and Carrie with a graceful, easy -Hide, both equally 

 pleasing, both bothered a little with larks after going a short 

 distance, but soon settled down to work. Beating down to a 

 brook, or branch as it is called here, we turned n< rth to a 

 fence and then swung back toward the spectator- who were 

 upon the brow of u hill that commanded a full view of the 

 field. We had gone, but a short distance when Carrie dropped 

 very prettily and commenced roading but Short called her off, 

 very wrongly, as it afterward proved, and we worked up the 

 hill, the dogs swinging ronnd a scattered bow whigh got up 

 by twos and threes a • the handlers and judges came up, Some 

 of the birds went down the hill and the dogs were vut in their 

 direction, but had gone but a short distance when Gus made a 

 gamy point to a large bevy near the place where Came had 

 been called off their trail. She honored the point in a stylish 

 manner. Sanborn, to order, putting up the birds, winged one, 

 which both dogs failed to find. 



Moving on Gus again pointed, and Carrie wus called, but ran 

 into a bird which got up and 3 he dropped. Sanborn, to order, 

 flushed the bird Gus was pointing and killed it. and Gus re- 

 trieved it fairly well. When ordered on Gus soon made another 

 capital point, Carrie dropping as if shot as soon us she caught 

 sight of him. This was verv pretty, but nothing was found, aud 

 Gus scored a false point. \S e then swung down to the foot of 

 the hill and tinned back through some pines on a knoll when 

 both dogs challenged, but were crowiied .n Coo fast, and two 

 or three birds were flushed by the horse-. Calling back the
