LOUD SEPTOX AND DON. 



Although it had commenced to rain, this brace were at once 

 balled. Cord Sefton, handled by Philip Tburtle. has im- 

 provi d :n looks since la-', year, when he ran here in the Derby, 

 beating Blsa, but was beaten by Lullu Kookh in his next heat. 

 He won the Heekscher cup for the dog showing the most nat- 



• ira! ability. Don. handled bv his owner, R. T. Vandevort, 

 is well known as the iirst pointer to win first at a field trial in 

 this country. He won at the Chicken Trials last year, beating 

 Prairie, Punch. Dashing Novice. Jf.i.-k and Sne. "He also ran 

 ar the National Trials m LS8L beating the .-racks Grouse Dale 

 and Km;- Dash, and was I. eaten by Peep o' Davand Maxwell. 



They were cast oB in some sedge where I he" las! heal was 

 finished, and worked up the run to a thicket, where Don found 

 and made a gamy point, close to the rock where last year 

 London made his magnificent back to' the point of Daisy 

 Laveraok. Sefton, called up to back, did so, but became 

 unsteady and' drew up, and a bird flushed uear him. Two 

 to order, put up in front of Don, who then roaded 

 very nicely, but lost it. 



We then worked down the branch, and two or three were 

 Bashed oat of some high grass, the dogs having no chance to 

 locate them. We then Bwung round up the hill, where Don 

 made a grand point, which Sefton backed in beautiful style 

 with his head high in air. Don then rouded very nicely and 

 carefully down mud. and Sefton drew round in' front of him 

 and Bushed the birds. They were then ordered up, and the 

 heal was awarded to Don. Down fifteen minutes. This was 

 .. sleet lent, and we did not have much chance to see the dogs 

 move, but judging from what little we saw. both have im- 

 proved since last year. 



ST. EL-MO IV AM) SMI T II. 

 It was now raining fast, but the judges called foi this brace, 

 st. Kliiin i\\. handled by E. H. Haight, has greatly improved 

 inlooks since we last saw him, and makes quite a tine appear- 

 ance. He ran in the Chicken Trials Derby last year, and was 

 b-.-ut-n by American Dan, and through a misunderstanding 

 was withdrawn, or he would have had a chance for third 

 place, la- also ran in the Eastern Derby last year. beating 

 Boy-, and was beaten bv Tick. Smut II.'. handled by Win. 

 Tal'lman. was entered in the Eastern All- Aged Stake las! war. 

 but did not start. When cast off Smut, who was entirely mi- 

 acquainted with her handler, could not be prevailed upon to 

 hunt, except for her master, and she was withdrawn, and the 

 heat was given t-- St. Klmo at the end of three minutes. 



FLIDA AND RUBY, 



Tins brace were at once called. Neither has before ap- 

 peared in public. Flida was handled by Jess M. Whnitc, 

 and Ruby bv Haight. They were east off in a field of sedge. 

 Both dugs started at a good guit. Flida taking the lead, and 

 quartering her ground, and ranging in fine style. The sedgi 



i blank. 



They then moved on down the ravine and across the hill 

 in some oat stubble, to a hillside of pines and sedge, where 

 Ruby pointed the scattered bevy. Flida, being brought up 

 refused to back, ran in and flushed the birds. They were 

 then ordered up, and the heat awarded to Ruby, at 1 1 ;■.'<). 

 Down ten minutes. 



LADY FAYRE AND LONDON 



were the next brace. Lady Fayre is quite a handsome ani- 

 mal. She was entered in the Derby last year, but did not 

 -tart. Loudon made his lirst appearance in public at the 

 Chicken Trials last year, where he was beaten by Count No- 

 ble in his lirst heat in the All-Aged Stake. At" the Eastern 

 Trials, last November, he beat Daisy Laveraok, Gladsome, 

 Tom. Croxteth and Tiinkct, and won first. A few weeks 

 later he ran in the All-Aged Stake of the Louisiana Trials, and 

 was beaten by Coleman's London, and divided second with 

 Foreman. Lady Fayre was handled by Haight, and London 

 by Tullman. In justice to Laay Fayre we should state that 

 she has had but ten days of preparation for the trials. 



Thev were put down tit. 1 1 :30 on the edge of the pines, where 

 the last brace was taken up. Both dogs started off finely, 

 London at a good steady gait, Lady Fuvre ranging and quar- 

 tering her ground finely, showing good" style and speed. Tho 

 pines and adjoining sedge were drawn blank, and the dogs 

 were ordered over the fence into a piece of woods, where 

 some birds had been marked down. London having gotten 

 warmed up to his work leaped the fence, and, running rapidly 

 through the woods, came to a magnificent point on five or six 

 birds that had settled in the leaves. 



Lady Fayre coming up dropped to a staunch back. The 

 birds Were flushed and Tallman made a nice right and left 

 li.,t.h:dogs dropping to -hot ; London, ordered on, retrieved his 

 bird baudsomeiv. Lady Fayre was sent on to retrieve the 

 other bird, but alter a good "deal of hunting failed to and it 

 They we-e then ordered on over a fence into the tield of pines 

 and "sedge, where they were lirst put, down, drawing it blank, 

 then across a branch up the hill to a patch of weeds on the 

 side of the hill, where Lady Fayre found and pointed a single 

 bird, and was backed by London in handsome style. ThaJbird 

 was flushed by Haight and killed by Tallman, both dogs drop- 

 ping to shot. 



Lady Fayre, sent on ,found the bird aud refused to retrieve 

 it. They were then ordered up and the heat awarded to Lon- 

 don. Down twenty minutes. 



HUE AM) CROXTETH. 



This brace was now called, although it was stfll raining. 

 Rut-, who. it will be remembered, had' just won the Members' 

 Cup was bundled by her owner. Croxteth made his first 

 appearance in the Ail-Aged Stake at the Eastern Field Trials 

 on Robins Island in ISSu. where he beat Trim, and was beaten 



by Sensation in the second series of heats. In 1881 he ran in 

 the All-Aged Stake at the Eastern Trials, beating the pointers 

 Bob, Baronet and Belle, and was beaten by Grouse Dale and 

 withdrawn, He also ran in the Eastern All-Aged Stake last 

 year, beating the pointers Monarch, Rab and Lalla Kookh. 

 and AVbn the pointer cup. He was beaten by London in 

 the fourth series of heats in the All-Aged Stake, and 

 then be.n Gladsome, and won aecond place. He was 

 bandied by Phillip '['hurtle. Croxteth on the Satur- 

 day previous had hurt or strained himself across the 

 loin-, and when we examined him on Sunday, he could 

 scarcely walk, and his prospects for Starting were anything 

 but brilliant.. He, however, so far recovered that las owner

 and did not come near up to the form in which she ran in the 

 Members' Stake 



They were put down in the edge of a patch of woods where 

 tiu-la-t brae- were, taken up, near a branch, ( ruxt-th crossed 

 the branch and flushed two bird- in a scattering buie-h of 

 alders, and stopped towing: thev were then worked down 

 the branch into ah adjoining field which was drawn blank. It 

 then commenced to rain very hard, and they were ordered up 

 at r;.-J". After lunoh at the model farm, thev were ea-i efi

 in, and both dogs loaded in after him, and" another bird was 

 flushed by either the dogs or handlers, we could not tell which. 

 We then moved on down the creek, when Croxteth pointed a 

 single bird in the meadow. Hue bucking indifferently. The 

 bird was flushed to order and missed. Both dogs were steady 

 to shot. We then crossed, and worked on up the meadow, 

 both dogs doing some nice work in quartering and raDging. 

 Croxteth again pointed, but moved on. having discovered his 

 mistake, while Hue. who was some distane,- ale-ad. was being 

 brought up to back. 



We then swung round the head of the meadow to a .1. n-.- 

 thicket of briars and bushes, where some birds had beeu 

 marked down. Tin dogs and handlers went into the thicket, 

 and almost at the same moment caUed a point for both. Tin- 

 birds were flushed to order and missed. Thev were then 

 worked up the thicket, where Grbxtcth Mushed a single bird 

 and dropped to wing. Moving on cautiously up the fence, lie 

 again flush. -d a, single bird: they were then worked dowu 

 the edge Of I In- woods in fall weeds to the road, and then 

 swung round to the left and worked through tin- weeds, when 

 it commenced raining again, and thev were ordered up for the 

 day at 2:35. 



On Uc.ln. s.l.n luoiniii:. ii was still raining, and continued 

 until n. -arlv noon, when it showed -ign- oJ clearing, and we 

 made a start.

 swung buck to another ravine, where Croxteth pointed a hare 

 in some cedars. Hue backing him. Croxteth then pointed in a 

 ditch with his head just level with the ground, and com- 

 menced drawing along in the bottom of the ditch to birds 

 that had evidently run along the edge.

 she swung out for them, and found them, but she was going

 wing, and then the rest, of them got tip close to where both 

 had roaded. Croxteth was t Inn sent to find the bird which 

 Thurtie killed, and be retrieved it in good form. They were 

 then ordered up and the heat was awarded to Croxteth. Down 

 altogether »ne hour aud forty minutes. 



GROUSE DALE AND OATH 



were at once called for. Grouse Dale is well known to our 

 readers. He. made his debut at the initial meeting of the East- 

 ern Field Trials at Robins Island in 1ST*.*, where he won first 

 in the Puppy Stake, and first with Smut in the Brace Stake 

 at the some meeting. The next war, he was in the All-Aged 

 Stake, and was beaten by Gladstone, in the first series of 

 heats. In 1 SSI, he won first in the Eastern All- Aged Stake 

 in very hot company. He ran the same year in the National 

 All-Aged Stake, and was beaten by Vandevort's Don in the 

 first series of heats. At the same meeting, he won third with 

 Dashing Monarch in the Brace Stake. A few days later, at 

 the Pennsylvania Trial-, he divided second with Warwick 

 in the All-Aged Stake, but as (he stake was not run out 

 this does not constitute a record. He was bundled by Tall- 



Gath ran in the National Derbv last year, beating Richard 

 111., and was beaten by Pink B. In his second heat. He is of 

 medium size and quite good looking, with great speed and a 

 very easy way of going. He was handled by Short. They 

 were put down a few minutes past li. where the last brace 

 were taken up. Grouse at once challenged when the nrst 

 birds got up. linth backing him in good style. They were

 and the dogs were crowded too fast, and nothing wa- done
