 RAD AND CONNER, 

 ilf this brace Rah only has run before. He ran in the 

 Eastern All-Aged Stake last year, beating Bravo, and was 

 beaten by Croxteth. He also ran in the Members- Stake at 

 this meeting. Biswas handle:! by Luke White. Donneris a 

 good-looking dog of good size, and with more experience will 

 make a killing dog. He was handled bv Predmore. They 

 were cast off on the branch, where the other brace was taken 

 up, in a place where they could not show much speed, and 

 worked on down the branch for some distance, when we 

 crossed a ml swung round up the other side.. Rab Hushed a 

 single bird and dropped to wing. Then moving on up the 

 branch, Donner pointed a single bird handsomely in a thick 

 bunch of briers and weeds and was nicely backed by Rab. To 

 order. Fredmore flushed and killed the bird, which was re- 

 trieved by Donner. Both dogs dropped to shot. We then 

 moved on up into a ravine, when a bird Hushed behind Rab 

 which he should have pointed. We now swung round across 

 the branch and moved up the hill iu the pines. Both dogs 

 roaded for some distance, and Rab secured a point on a bevy 

 of running birds, and was backed by Donner, The birds 

 were flushed and missed. We moved on out into the open 

 field, w hen both dogs flushed a single bird. Swinging round 

 to the right. Donner roaded a short distance and came to a 

 beautiful" point on a large bevy. Rab failed to back and was 

 dropped bv his handler. Fredmore, to order, flushed and 

 killed a bird, which was nicely retrieved by Donner, They 

 were then ordered up and Donner awarded the heat. Down 

 forty minutes. 



PMROESS WARWICK AND LIT. 



Neither of these have before appeared in public. Princess 



Warwick is a very good looking" animal, of large size. She 

 has quite a gift 'of speed, and appears to have a good nose. 

 She is also very stylish, and with more experience and 

 judicious handling, will be lit to run in almost any company. 

 She was handled by Fredmore. Lit is rather an ordinary 

 looking animal, of small size. She is fairly fast and appears 

 to have considerable hunting sense. She" was handled by 

 Short. They were cast, oil' on the pine knoll, where the last 

 heat was finished, and worked toward the bevv, which had 

 settled near the bead of a ravine. Princess ran up to them, 

 and flushed one. which flew up the hill, when she gave chase 

 at a rate of speed that would soon have eau_rht up with it, 

 but her handier whistled before she had gone more than fifty 

 yards, and she turned buck This was a wasl i of energy for 

 the judges did not see her, and she got no credit for the" per- 

 fonnanes She came back, and going into the edge of the 

 brush along the run, she pointed hi 1 leaufciful style to some run- 

 .iii l : i: ■'-. which flushed as she drew on. She then went on 

 a few steps and tnadi a quick point to a single bird, which at 

 oncegot iip. when she made a iump. but at once stopped. 

 They" were then sent up the hill, where Lit scored a trash. 

 Princess then swung round to the edge Of a gully, and made a 

 capital point, which Lit refused to back, but" went up to her 

 and half pointed. Fredmore, to order, put up the bird. 

 which he missed. They were then ordered up, and we went 

 to lunch, which was close by. 



After lunch they were put down on the. hillside in some 

 sedae. and worked down to the. run. Both went very well: 

 Princess the fastest, although Lit ranged the widest; when 

 they reached the botteui Princess ran into a single bird. We 

 then worked down the run, where Lit made a beautiful point, 

 and Princess was called up to back, but as she was coming up 

 in front of Lit. Predmore dropped her, and as she went down 

 she saw Lit and backed her. Short was ordered to flush but 

 failed 10 find. Working on, Lit pointed a bevy at the edae ot 

 MO in some scrub oaks. Princess came up" under the blink. 

 and half pointed the same bird, which Shi »rt, to order, flushed 

 and winged. We then went for one which had been marked 

 v ■■,-,..;,• Princess winded it. but was called away by her 

 handler, and the bird was flushed by the horses. Following 

 up the bevy int... some woods. Lit pointed very nicely: when 

 Princess coming up, one flushed between her and Predmore. 

 Just then Shut, in going to Lit, walked up her bird which he 

 winged and then the rest of them got up. Lit was unsteady, 

 She was then ordered to retrieve, but faded to tind. and a bird 

 6 rher, edchsbj rought very well. We then 

 crossed over to a branch, and beat out a likely looking piece 

 Of stubble, but nothing was found so we crossed to a run, 

 where Short flushed a bevy, which settled in the edge of some 



win ids close by. Princess got there Iirst and struck an elegant 

 le. and 'Lit was called up to back, but Predmore did not 

 hear the order and flushed the birds, one of which he killed, 

 Princess retrieving it uicelv. They were then ordered up and 

 the beat was awarded to Princess Warwick. Down one hour 

 and twenty-one minutes. 



LADY ROMP II. AND PRIDE. 



This was the first time that either of this brace have ap- 

 peared in a public trial. Lady Romp II. is a very fair looking 

 animal, of medium size. She moves fairly well, but is not 

 fast. She was handled bv Hemion. Pride, handled by Tall- 

 mau. i- of good size, and "with more experience he will, un- 

 it ul tedb/, do very good work. 



They were ca -it off in the woods beyond the birds, and given 

 a little spin and then worked back, when Pride ran up oue, 

 and a little further on made a capital point, which he held a 

 long nine, while Romp was brought up to back, which she 

 refused to do at first, but drew toward him, and stopped an 

 instant, and then drew on a little further and backed him. 

 They then worked at the corner, when Pride struck the trail of 

 a running bird, but was not quite careful enough, and scored 

 a flush, and as he turned he ran up another one. Romp now 

 tool; a hand, and nut up one, which she chased up the lull, but 

 at once came back to whistle. We then turned back, and 

 Crossing the creek, they were worked down in some tall grass, 

 wh.-re Pomp made a, very nice point to a bird which Hemion 

 to order put up and killed. Bump sent to retrieve failed to 

 find it. Working on, Romp again pointed, close to the creek, 

 Pride backing her nicely. Hemion flushed the bird to order 

 and missed, when Romp broke shot, but at once dropped to 

 order. She then crossed the creek, and got in another point, 

 but nothing was fouud. A little further on she again pointed. 

 and Pride backed to order. Hemion ordered to flush, put up 

 the bird, winch he missed. A bird was then thi own for Romp 

 to retrieve, which she did very well. They were then ordered 

 up. and the heat was awarded to Lady Romp II. Down thirty- 

 five minutes. 



FOREMAN AND LUNA 11AY. 



These dogs have both run before. Foreman, who was flier, 

 handled bv Stafford, ran in- the Pennsylvania Derby at Grand 

 Junction in ls-1. where he made a creditable showing, but 

 wasB : iced In tin- All-Aged Stake at the Chicken Trials 

 lastvearhi ■,- I a ratryDasiuhg Novince in his first heat. 

 A few months later he ran iu the All-Aged Stake at the. East- 

 em Trials, beating Buckellew and was beaten by Brock. He. 

 also ran the same, year in the All- Aged Stake at "the Louisiana 

 Trials, beating Blue Monarch, Count Noble and Flossy, and 

 w: - ■„ -id a by Coleman's London for iirst, place and divided 

 second with Harrison's London. He was handled by TaUman. 

 Luna May, handled byWanamaker, ran in the All-Aged Stake 



i i.i, T. -urn Trials last year and was beaten by Maida iu a 



Tla. vie pit down whexe the last heat was finished and 

 worked down the brook a, short distance, when we crossed 

 and took a turn in some woods, and then swung back to the 

 brook and again crossed, when Foreman pointed a single bird, 

 and Luna went in ahead and also pointed the same bird. 

 When ordered to flush, both dogs moved on and Luna caught 

 again a few yards on, and again pointed, and Wanamaker 

 flushed it. We then beat our, a stubble field, where Foreman 

 ranged wide and well. We then went through a strip of 

 -wooits to a large stubble, where a bevy was flushed by the 

 li i - . Following them into some pines, Foreman made a 

 stylish point and then roaded out, and located very nicely, 

 a bird which flushed itself. He then moved on, and again 

 pointed. TaUman, to order, put up the birds, but had no 

 shells in his gun. Meantime Luna was pointing and drawing 

 where the birds got up. Foreman soon had another point to 

 a running bird, which he roaded out and located, and Lima 

 brought up to back, did so to order. Tallman then put up the 

 bird and killed it, and Foreman retrieved it well. We then 

 Grossed a gully, wnere Luna made a point, but nothing was 

 found. We then swung through the pines and came back to 

 the creek, which we crossed, and beat through a cornfield to 

 some weed.-, where Tallman walked into a bevy which settled 

 in a pine thicket, where Foreman pinned one" iu good style, 

 Luna refusing to back him. Tallman. to order, put up the 

 bird and killed it, but it fell a long way off. They were then 

 ordered up, and the heat was awarded to Foreman. Down 

 one hour and nine minutes.
