 made a bad flush but it was not seen bv the judges. Wo then 

 swung round over the lull, drawing a great extent of ground 

 blank; until we came to a ravine where Gath dropped on a 

 point in a gully and was promptly backed by London. Garb's 

 handler claimed that he was backing London and thus 3aved 

 him the false point he had really made. Moving ou Gath 

 pointed a hare, about the same time London, some hundred

 in a sedge rieltl where the last brace was taken up, Moving on 

 up the branch Gath scored a false point backed by Sue. We 

 then worked on down the ravine aud over a fence into a corn- 

 field where both dogs did a good deal of roading, and Sue 

 pointed iu a thick bunch of bamboo briers and bushes, backed 

 by Gath. The birds were seen running for some distance 

 before the dogs and they were ordered up and one or the 

 judges flushed them and killed a bird, which was retrieved by 

 Sue, They were then ordered on up the hill, where Gath 

 pointed and was nicely backed by Sue. The bird was flushed

 some corn, where Gath pointed in tho edge of same sedge by 

 the side of the railroad, but loaded on and was found on a 

 point in a thick brier patch, but as he had been ordered up ho 

 did not get credit for it. They were then put doom across the 

 railroad, and worked up a gully in a thickot of plum bushes, 

 where Sue pointed a hare, and was backed by Gath. They 

 were then ordered up for tho day at 4:50. They wore put

 I. ,i i me, were cast off at 0:05 in a cornfield and worked on 

 up a branch. Paul going at a nice gait, but he. could not keep 

 near I lie wide ranging and fleet San Roy. Working on across 

 1 in .'!. San Roy pointed, Paul coming up directly in front of 

 him backed promptly at sight but no birds were found. Paul 

 also soon scored a false point and was nicely backed by San 

 Roy. We then worked on, when Paul pointed and a nice bevy 

 was flushed. Moving on down to a gully Sau Hoy pointed 

 aud the bird was flushed and shot at, both dogs steady to shot. 

 They were then ordered up at 0:30 and the heat was awarded

 nicely and was awarded the heat at 10:35. Down one hour.

 heat to Shot at 10:47. Down seven minutes. 



COUNT LOFTY AND RAINBOW. 



The next brace, Count Lofty handled by Nosbit and Rain- 

 bow by Watei's, were put down at 10:50 in a cornfield. Count 

 Lofty "was very fat, and after a small effort broke down, and 

 his antagonist, who showed no speed, whatever, became 

 apparently disgusted and attacked a lot of negroes who were 

 gathering corn. He was called off and wit.hotn finding birds, 

 the heat was givon to Rainbow at 11:12. Down twenty-two 

 minutes. 



MAJOR CROXTETH AND GLADSTONE BOY 



were the next brace, Maj. Croxteth handled by Stafford, 

 and Gladstone Boy handled bv Mai. Merrian, were cast off at 

 11:20 in a cornfield. The puppy Gladstone Boy moved off 

 very well, though rather awkward. He is eligible to two 

 Derliys, being still the right age for the next Derby, in whicn 

 he will be entered. Ho is a dog of much promise and will 

 make a good one. He has only been h mdled three weeks. 

 1 'hey were worked on through the com into a piece of sedge 

 and scattering trees, where Major flushed a bevy. Following 

 them into the brush, Major again flushed and Gladstone Boy 

 scored a nice point. Moving on, Major again flushed. They

 Boy, at 11:39. Down fifteen minutes.

 white bitch by Gladstone ex Lavalefte, owned and handled 

 by Charles Tucker, and Countess C, owned and handled by J. 

 M. Avent, were cast off at 11:35 in tho woods where the last 

 brace was taken up. Both dogs went off well, ranging and 

 quartering their ground nicely and making few mistakes. This 

 was one of the best heats run in the Derby. At first Grace 

 .vas a little headstrong and flushed a bird. Moving on Coun- 

 tess C. poin.od, backed by Grace. We then turnedinto some 

 woods where Grace pointed and a few steps further again 

 pointed. Moving on up to the. fence Countess C. flushed a 

 bird. We then worked on when Countess C. pointed and was 

 nieelv backed by Grace. Moving on over the fence into the 

 woods, both dogs showed remarkable speed aud style, cutting 

 up the ground nicely, Grace rather the fastest ranger. We 

 woived on through the woods where Countess C. flushed. 

 They were then ordered up for the judges to consult. Ordered 

 oa again, Countess C. pointed a bevy on the edge of the woods. 

 Grace coming up pointed to the scent of the same bevy not 

 seeiug Countess, there being a large log between them; tho 

 buds were flushed to order, and both dogs dropped to wing. 

 They were then worked on and Grace scored two flushes. 

 The'v were then ordered up, and Countess C. afterwards put 

 down to oack, which she did, and was awarded the heat. 

 Down twenty-five minutes. 



PRINCESS TECK AND DON QUIXOTE 



were the next brace. Princess Teck handled by Nesbit, and 

 Don Quixote handled by Short, were put down at 12:10 in a 

 cornfield. This was another brace of sorry dogs. Princess 

 Teck being too fat to do any work. A large space of ground 

 was drawn blank, the dogs not rd-aging far enough to find 

 buds; when bv accident Princess Teck stumbled on a bevy 

 as we neared the nlaco appointed for lunch. They were 

 worked a while on this bevy, and Princess secured three points 

 and was awarded the heat at 12:44. Down thirty-four minutes. 



LADY C. AND POARTER 



were the next brace. Lady C. handled by her owner, Mr. 

 Stephenson, and Poarter, the winner of second iu the Eastern- 

 Field Trials Derby, handled by Avent, were put down at 1 :20 

 in the cornfield near the ol J giu house. Lady C. is a fast little 

 bitch, and if properly broken will make a good one, but in 

 this heat she showed neither nose nor breaking, and after some 

 nice work by Poarter the heat was awarded to him at 2:20. 

 Down one horn'. 



RUSH GLADSTONE AND LADY ELINORA 



were the next brace, Rush Gladstone handled by Avent, aud 

 Lady Elinora handled by Nesbit, were cast off in" some woods, 

 when Rush Gladstone, who is a fast and stylish, level-headed 

 dog, pointed. Moving on Lady Elinora, who is a slow-moving 

 pottering dog. scored in rapid succession three flushes. We 

 then swung round the hill, where Rush flushed; moving up a 

 few steps he dropped on a point. They were then ordered up, 

 and tho heat was awarded to Rush Gladstone. Down five 

 minutes.

 Couutess Gladstone, were put down at 2:35, and worked over

 in tho first series but were not considered as having sufficient 

 merit to win. 



The first brace in this series, San Roy and Bravo, who had 

 the bye, handled by Ellison, wore cast off at 3:0S in the edge 

 of a thicket. Bravo would not get away from his handler, 

 but looked about as if daced and not knowing what to do

 dered up and the heat. awarded to Sau Roy. Down live 

 minutes.

 through the sedge, both dogs going at fine speed and inline 

 style. This was a short but hot heat, it being hard to decade,
