GUS BONDIIU AND CLIPPER 



werethe first brace in the All-Aged Stake. Gus Bondhu 

 was handled by D. C. Sanborn, aud Clipper by Wahftr. 

 Thov were put down at 0:05 on Monday morning in 

 a large field of sedge; both dogs moving off at a good 

 eait. Clipper is a nice little dog and cuts up his ground 

 well He 1,'is never been run before. We worked on down 

 The hill through a cotton field into a large swale of tall grass 

 and sedge where Gtis pointed, but loaded on when ChppeV 

 came up and both dogs came to a point and a largo bevy was 

 flushed. "We then worked on up the draw to where birds 

 had beau marked down, when Clipper pointed and Gus 

 Bondhu backed. Moving on Gus Bondhu secured a nice point, 

 backed by Clipper. Sanborn failed to Hush the bird and they 

 W1- -dared on. Gus Bondhu then Hushed. Moving on Clip- 

 per pointed and was hacked by Gus Bondhu. We then 

 moved on when Clipper again point.'d, the bird was flushed 

 to order and killed and retrieved by Clipper. We then 

 swung round the hill to a sedge, field where Clipper flushed a 

 bevy and dropped to wing. Working up a ravine, both d<~~ 

 scored a Hush. Moving on up the branch, Clippc 

 and was backed by Gus Hoiidhu, the bird wis flushe 

 and lolled, and while Clipper was limiting the dead bird, sev- 

 eral more were (lushed, but the dead :t:rd was not found. 



I'!,. \ «'.'iv then ordered up and the neat was awarded to Clip- 

 per id 9:60. Down forty-five minutes.

 point. We then worked up through a cotton held, when' 

 Maud flushed badly, and they were ordered up, and the beat 

 awarded to Pink at. 2:20. Down one hour and threi nun 

 utes. 



GATH AND KINNICKINICK. 



The uoxt brace, Gath. handled by Short, and Kinnickiniek, 

 a large black white aud tan dog, handled by Nesbit, were put 

 down at 2:30 in a cornfield. Kinniclonick moved heavily, 

 without style or speed; by a piece of good luck he pointed a 

 bevy which were flushed'to order and one billed by Nesbitt 

 which Kimiickiniek retused to retrieve. We moved on, when 

 Gath scored a beautiful point on a single bird in the woods. 

 They were ordered up and the heat \*as awarded to Gath at 

 3:00, Down thirty minutes. 



SUE AUD MAJOR CUOXTETH. 



The next brace, Sue, handled by Short, aud Major Croxtcth, 

 a liver ami white pointer, handled by Stafford, were called at 



15, and put down in the edge of the woods and cotton Held. 

 This was a short and uninteresting heat, as Major Croxtoth 

 was no match for the fast, wide-ranging Sue. who soon left 

 hirn behind, and after two points aud a flush for Sue, and a 

 point for Major Croxteth, they were ordered up and the 

 heat was awarded to Sue at 3:37. Down thirty-two minutes. 



DON AND FLOSSY. 



The next brace, Don, handled by Vandevort, and Flossy, 

 li ni:dl"d by Mr. Fontaine, were called at 3:40 and put down in 

 a field of sed^o and stubble. Don was all off, having taken 

 cold, and worked very badly, and the heat was a short and 

 uninteresting one. We worked o?i when Don, in the edge i if 

 some bushes, flushed a bird, Moving on Flossy made a nice 

 point, backed by Don, the bird was flushed to order and 

 missed. We then worked on up the draw to the railroad into 

 a cornfield and then swung round a hill down to the railroad 

 again where a bevy flushed by spectators had settled. Work- 

 ing on along the railroad Don flushed two single bird* in suc- 

 cession, he seemed to have, lost his noso entirely; we then beat 

 up to a plum thicket, when both dogs pointed at the same 

 time a bird, which was flushed and missed. We then swung 

 across the railroad where, in some sedge, Don pointed, and 

 Flossy coming up refused to buc'..- but moved on and flushed 

 thebird. which was killed bv Vandevort and retrieved by 

 Don. Fiossv broke shot aud lost the heat which was awarded 

 to Don at 4:25. Down forty-five minntes. 



VICTOR AND FOREMAN 



The next brace. Victor, handled by Aveut, and Foreman, 

 handled by Tallmau, wcro called at 4:31 and put down in a 

 field uear'theold gin house. They moved off at a fair gait; 

 Foreman having the advantugo in speed and style. Working 

 ou around the hill, Foreman was seen on a magnificent point, 

 up on the side of the hill a long distance from the handlers 

 and judges, which lie held till we came up. when Victor 

 swim" round to the windward of hiiu and backed staunchly. 

 This was a sploudid piece of work and very much admired 

 and commended by the spectators. Tollman, to order, flushed 

 the birds and killed one, wliich was retrieved by Foreman. 

 "We then went over the. hill to a plum thicket, where birds 

 had been marked. Victor pointed on the edge of the bushes. 

 and reading in flushed. Swinging round the thk

 J. at 10:40. Down one hour and five minutes, 



NELLIE B. AND SAN ROY 



were next called at lO'-Fi, and cast oil' in a cotton field, and 

 worked on down the edge of the woods, when both secured a 

 point; both dogs moved well, San Roy be'ng the fastest ranger 

 but rather headstrong and wild. A good deal of ground was 

 drawn blank, wheu we came to a ravine, of sedge where birds 

 had been marked down, having been flushed by the spec- 

 tators. Both dogs scored a flush, and Rim Kov soon after 

 again flushed ; they wore then ordered tip at 11:35, and Nellie 

 afterward put down to back, which she did nicely and was

 where Don roaded some distance up the hill, when several 

 birds Hushed, aud one was killed apparently, but on Don be-
