 running birds, and the judge's ordered the dogs out of 

 the thicket, and we turned back toward a stubfie, where 

 birds were heard calling. Sue struck them first but. unfor- 

 tunately, she scored a mien, putting up two or three birds that 

 were running to a larga bevy that were in the edge of the 

 stubble. She stopped as they rose, but soon moved a few 

 steps and pointed) but nothing was found. Foreman then 

 took till '-•»■ running and pinned a bird in line style, which

 too soft, for the horses, they were taken up, and we crossed to 

 higher ground, where thev were east off in au open Held. 

 Hookh went, olf at a rattling pace, while Bang started rather 

 slowly; he soon got a-going, however, and beat out his 

 ground in good form. We took a long tramp and worked 

 over considerable ground Without a lind. Finally both chal- 

 lenged in some weeds, but Bang caught it first and made a 

 point, which was instant-lv honored by Hookh, the bird flush- 

 ing iiscli a second or two later. We'll, en beat out a large 

 field without result, except that both challenged occasion- 

 ally what was evidently old scent. When on top of 

 the hill Rookh swung into some piles and made a quick 

 point, to a bevy, Bang backing her in fine style. White; 

 to order, went ou, and six or eight birds got up, 

 one of which he killed. Kookh retrieving it nicelv. She 

 then went back t i where bhey had flushed and again pointed, 

 and Bang backed her. She soon drew on and Bant; also drew 

 up and pointed Staunchly while Hookh mailed on. ('apt. Mc- 

 Murdo ordered Bang on but he would not budge and he 

 stepped in front of Mm and Mushed a brace, of birds, and as 

 i.-p-d. the bird that Hookh was roadmg also got up a

 edge of the pines and jumped into an elegant point. Kookh 

 instantly backing him iii beautiful style, (.'apt. McMurdo, 

 when ordered to llu-li. went ten yards' beyond his dog and 

 vainly tried lo kick up the bird; he then came back to Bang 

 and urged him on when lie drew on a step or two and the.

Just before the finish, the proprietor of the land upon which 

 we were, came oul and informed us that we were over the 

 line and thai no shooting was allowed on his grounds, after 

 aebort parley he kindly consented to let us go on. but hi-

 understand, repudiated the contract, and sternly ordered us 

 Off. In vain our ambassador, who had never before been

 and with drooping crest he abandoned the contest'. We were 

 about to return when one of the parly with a strategy worthy 

 a Napoleon, flanked the old man. and showing him a big, 

 bright silver dollar, the victory was won and we pursued our

This brace was at ouce put down aud worked toward a 

 thicket, into which they disappeared and were soon after 

 found. I'ink pointing, although not quite still, and San Roy 

 backing when we came up both moved a step or two and 

 Roy drew on down wind right into the bevy, which got up all 

 around him. Following them down the run both dogs pointed 

 and then drew on the trail of fast miming birds, several o, 

 Ihem getting up as the handlers came alonir. A little further

..ATII AND TINK B. 



were the next brace in regular order, but as Gath had just 

 finished his heat with Foreman. Don and Bang Bang were 

 ordered down. .\l tie- conclusion of the heat, Gath and Pink 

 B. were called for, aud at once cast olf. Both dogs were 

 handled by Short. This was unavoidable as they were the 

 oulv two setters remaining in. Thev were put down near 

 where Don and Hang Ban:: finished their heal and were given 

 a little spin, when th.-v were swung back to where the last 



bevy had 1 u marked down. Both went at a slashing gait. 



Gath was the fastest, but Pink let out a link and moved much 

 better than he had done in his previous heats. Gath was the 

 Brst to find them, dropping as if shot to a portion of the bevy. 

 Pink at almost the same instant also pointed the same birds, 

 which Mushed wild as the handlers moved up. Pink then ran 

 up a bird, while Gath swung round and pointed where the 

 bevy had first flushed; he soon moved on and taking a few 

 strides pointed one in grand style; I'ink backing liiin very 

 handsomely. Short, to order, put up the bird but did not 

 shoot. Thev were again sent on when Pink whirled on a 

 beautiful point, which was gracefully backed by Gath. The 

 bird was Mushed to order bv Short, aud missed; Pink then 

 swung back and flushed a bird that ho should have pointed. 

 Meantime Gath struck scent and half pointed, butsoon moved, 

 on. Pink I hen made rather an uncertain point, which Gath 

 instantly backed and Short, to order, put up the bird and a 

 moment later Fink had another one fast, Gath backing him 

 nicely, After Short, to order, had put up the bird. Gath 

 came round and dropped very prettily where the bird had 

 got up. aud Pink backed him. ' We then followed the road 

 through some oak woods to the ground where the Trials com- 

 menced last year. Beatiug out sonic -edge, we entered some 

 pine- where Pink half pointed, but s i moved on. Gath 



Pink moved toward' him and was stopped to order. Gath then 

 went on and nailed them in capital style. Pink then ran into 

 the birds, scoring a Mush. Thev then went on a short distance, 

 when (inih again pointed. Hildas hi.- handler came he com- 

 menced roadmg, and was joined by Pink, who roaded a little 

 too fast and the bird Mu-li. d before either had located it. 

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

 Gath. Down forty-five minutes. In estimating the amount

 s.-rub upon a bid of leav. -or upon lb" bare nine n-edles. we 



in winning this heat, won tiie Hillside Keloid Cup. for the 

 best setter in I his -take. 



PON AND I1A.N0 BANG. 



This brace was called for at the finish of the heat between 

 Hath and Foreman, and cast off at 12:49 in the sedge among 

 -omi- .-.-at i. -rin_- pines. Nothing was found here except that 

 a single bird was flushed by Capt. McMurdo. IV'e then crossed 

 through some woods to a large open field, where Don got in a 

 nice point which Bang instantly honored. Vaitdevort, to 

 order, put up the bird, which he missed. We then worked 

 over the ground to the top of a hill where. Don ran into a bird 

 and scored a flush: he then pointed and Bang lacked him. 

 When the handler came up Don drew on a step or two and 

 another one got up. We then worked over the ground to the 

 model farm without a find, and the dogs were taken un for 

 lunch. After lunch thev were again cast oil' in a li.dd of sedge 

 and weeds east of the house where Don pointed a single bird 

 and Bang at once backed him. Vandcvort. to order. Hushed 

 the bird which he missed. We then crossed the run and beat 

 up some .pine- and scrub oaks where Don made a capital 

 point which Bang honored in fine style. As we came up the 



themselves, both remaining -tend-.-. Thev were then ordered 

 upend the h.-at was awarded to Don. Down altogether one 

 hour. This gave Don both the cup of the. Eastern Field Trials 

 Club and the ilecksc.her Cup for the b.-.-l pointer in the All- 

 Aged Stake. 



HATH AND DON. 



This brace was called immediately upon the finish of the 

 heat between Gath and Pink B.. to run the final heat tn de- 

 .-id-'iii.-i prize. As soon as. they got the word Don jumped 

 into a grand point, which Gath at once very gracefully 

 honored. Vnndcvori. to order, put up the bird, but did not 

 shoot. Taking a few strides, Don nailed another one, and 

 Gath again backed, both dogs' assuming very gamy looking 

 attitudes. The bird was flushed, to order, by Vandcvort. who 

 missed it. A little further ou both, at nearly the same instant, 

 pointed a winged bird, When again sent on, a bird got up 

 near Gath. who dropped to wing, hut soon went on aud made 

 a very quick point to another one, while Don, a second or two 

 later, also pinned one. in fine sts'le. Short , to order, put up the 

 bird in front of Gath, and missed it, Don meantime holding 

 his bird until Vandcvort, to order, flushed it, and also missed. 

 Don then challenged once or twice where birds had got up, 

 and finally made a point, to which nothing was found. 

 Meantime Gath, who was some distance awuy, got 

 in a good point to a bird, which Short flushed to 

 order, but did not shoot at. Gath then made an elegant point 

 which Don honored in grand style. Short putting up the bird 

 to order. It was now Don's turn, aud lie soon had one fast 

 and Gath backed him nicely. Vandcort to order Mushing the 

 bird which he mi-sed. i lath then swung down to the edge of

 agreed to divide the honors and money without running, and 

 the judges so announced. Under the rules Don and Grouse 

 Dale should have run off the lie. and the best of the dogs pre

 loser for third place, but so fur as ihe merit of the dogs was
