These dos^< ■•> run in the following order: 



Prairie Thistle ...id i. .inoi, 1st heat; Pride and Judy, 2d 

 licat ; Prairie Kanger and Colonel, 3d heat ; Lizzie Leo and 

 St. Elmo, 4th heat ; Daw and ilif t, 5tU heat. 



Tlie first brace were put down ahout two p. ji. on open 

 prairie, where they had a fijie chance to ,«ihow tbeir.stvlc, 

 speed and quartering. Thistle is a hamlf^omc Itlack am] wbile 

 dog. rather leggy, tie is b}'^ C'lmnn out ut Pearl, reserulilioL' 

 in form bis dara, iuberilinii ber iml. Mailable will. ITe is vcr\ 

 fast, ranging wide and quaneriug bis ground well, but wa's 

 not obliged to run loug to convince the juilgcs he was a better 

 dog than Romeo, who'rau with him. The scarcity of birds 



prevented other dogs .showing their real field rjualities. Only 

 three birds were found, Romeo fliLshing two while Tliistlo 



pointed Ptauncblv. One. which was ."^bot, he retrieved in 

 line sfyle. His r.ms,- waR bold ami fa.st, bi.s 4uai1eriiii.' above 

 the average, bi^ style ou point very decided. Ibjiueo is iin- 

 donbtedly a good dog in cover, but" Ills van;.'e was too close 

 fur the open iiraiiie, Ills quartering not realh' c^iotl, and he 

 bad no ohanee t.j show bis style on pe.iiit ijr relrieving quali- 

 ties. The jialgcs decided Tbisllc winner uf the beat. 



Pride and J luly were called for the second heat. Both arc 

 medium sized, Icmou and wliite in color and fine coated, and, 

 had lbc\' dark eyes and nose, would be cidled handsome. 

 These were little iu'otber and sister, born Jan. 1, 1870. by 

 Charm out of the native bitch Ti|i. J5irdswe.ro very .scarce 

 and a large tind of open praiTie wasbimted over before an v 

 were found. Pride at ii-' i'- .nini nnil pointed in nrand style. 

 Judybaelietl This v, . ,., . '. ee of work as bad been 

 seen. The birds rose ,i ,,|' i-Miige and were not 



shot at, consequently 1 : .i I.I i:. . lianee to relrieve. They 

 weredomi nearly t,\"vo 1i.h,i-.s vl.ci. the judges ..r.lercrl tbi'm 

 uptobepul ilowii the i'ollowiii<r moriiiior, as it was.'cttinc 

 late. Both Pride and Jodr are fast, receix^iiLr, I 

 think, near the nuiximuni " of tweiit}- f.ir speed 

 Then- qiiarlcring was exceed! nurly ^o.^l : lK,tb are 

 wide and indeiieiulent raiejicrs. In style, J^ride is rhe better : 

 in speed, .iudv has a trille the advantage ; ;,s a braei. ibey eoiild 

 .scarce!;, !„■ beaten, '^lie^- are of .same size and eolor, a))on(. 

 equal ill speed and slyle. are niider ixo'.d sulijeeiion, dropping 

 instantly I., win- or sle.t, and to fur as well. Allbougb 

 neitlicr lia.i ever seen a jael; rabbit, when one started din'cilv 

 in front and elu.se to b.,tb of tbem, Pride dropped install 1 1 v. 

 notwithsiandiiig the rabbit went entirely anaiud bim. while 

 Judy dropiied to wurd. The judges b'idily coiiiiilinieutcd 

 this, .saying Ibey bad never seen it done before, and in their 

 experience bail seen but few young do..;-s that w-cro under 

 sulticient control not to chase the fresh jack rabbit that sbu-ted 

 near them. 



The owner of Pride decided before starting out the ne.xt 

 morning to withdraw him, glvuig the heat to ,Tudy, they being 

 so nearly equal in all points as yet teslerl, that be" fell .si.ti.stied 

 as Pride dill n.it retreive i( w.aild lie ten points in the former's 

 favor and give her the heal, : Iraviin;- had tbem broken to work 

 as a brace, Judy only has lieen alloived to retrieve. Each 

 dog was worked by its owner. The next two that ran to- 

 g.'tbcr were Lizzie Le,.. l,]aek and while, born llarch 1:i. 

 1ST9, by Druid out of Wliitinan's :\Iillev ,| Rob Pov, Daisy., 

 bunted by her owner. G. Wadduiarou. and (St. Elmo, blacky 

 white and tau, about four years old, winner of Inst prize at 

 New York trials last fall ownied by Dr. Spier. Brooklyn 

 New York, hunted b\' .lelfia'son f'oopra-, who bas weirked 

 him in the West the i.ireseut season. These (lo»s avctc cast off 

 about nine \. m. Tlu-y went V(av fast and qnartered beauti- 

 fully, yet Lizzie.'s w<irk was most" admired. Birds were found 

 bybolb. .St. Elmo uiiforluiiatelv Hushed two, Aehile Lizzie, 

 who sbovred a superior nose, located and pointed stainu'bly 

 her bird. St. Elmo, when going at a rapid rate catching I he 

 scent of a bird drop|.icd. Lizzie was brought up to back, which 

 she did far belter than was expected, m sho could hardly see 

 St. Elmo in the biyb grass. 



St. Elmo backed st;,nnehlv a point nude by Lizzie, while 

 she afterward li.aked Mannehh a point mad. In Pt Elmo. 

 The -male of this p.nr ot do;;s ujs w(,rlli ■j:..ina a luer distance

Were these two worki-d toevfliei foi l h in I'lv would 

 be very b.ird to beat. Ht. Elmo bas impiovial very much 

 sini e la came AVest. Ml'. Waddiligton felt quite ])roud lo win 

 the heal wilb a pup not nineteen months old over an old and 

 tried winner. 



The next two tluai ]iul down w-ere Prairie Pau'-er, 

 owned by J. IL Wbilman, hunted by G. Waddinaton. C'(7lor', 

 white, lemon ears, by rbarm. out of rear), brother to Thistle 

 bom February l.i, 1879. Colonel, blaek and tan. whose 

 pedigree and age I did not obtain. He was hinited by 

 his owner, Mr. Barnes, of Lincoln, Neb., and was the only 

 dog entered from the Stale whose Sportsman's club g:ive the 

 trials. Colonel was quite lame \yitli rbeumal.i.sm in torede.r, 

 wbile Hanger was also lame, having injured bis foot, Panacr 

 swung out with that courage which is' a. characteristic of the 

 breed, ranged very wide, riuartered well, bad a merry tail 

 action.but after nmuing over two hours iu llie beat o'f ibe 

 dayfomid no birds, consequently bad no oppiMlunity to show 

 hia style on point. Colonel did" not ramre nor quarter well. 

 but fortrmately foimd and pointed one liird. which lieina: shot 

 at, fell a long distance from the owner and was not retrieved. 

 Colonel, by breaking in, showed he was anxious to ^o for it,' 

 but dropped at command. As be had shown neitlier''snperior 

 qualities of ranging, quarterina-, retrievim,' or backing, it was 

 a surprise to some when the judges <;ave him tlie heat, I was 

 glad lo see it given him, for with a lame dog, unfil in bis etm- 

 dition to run in a trial, he was the ouh- Neliniska Sportsman 

 who had interest enough hi the "trials to enter a do.'. 

 The next race was between Daw, a lihiek and tan do.;- 4 ve-irs 

 old, oy\mcd by F. A. Taft, of Dedbam, Mass., In- Doirex Ladv. 

 lie was hunted Iiy his owner ; Flint, a white dog. wilb sliiib't- 

 ly ticked liver ears, was owned and bunted by'«. Wadding- 

 ton. This iloi::, r think, was ubout 23 months" old, by Kob,"a 

 son of Pol) R.iy and Daisy, out of FannA', she hy Blue Da.sh 

 and a native hitch. 



Daw is a large-sized dog with fine style, carryimi bis head 

 well up, ranginsr and quartering in good style" sbowinff su- 

 perior n.-.se, and considered by the judges and manv others 

 as the most stylish dog on point and back of any that, nin. 

 Flint I Ihongbl fullx- his equal in all except staimclmess in 

 backing. Daw stands either at point or back with head and 

 tail high, often 'ekie^'nti ]-.r-;i;,--| nr ,-nr:i,-,i- : 1;,., d, ,, ^not seem 

 to move a, in lis. . ,.i ].' ,, ' , | , ,,,, ,, ..tanneh. 



tit-ude, w'ith ]■!■-:• i i. ;i ,,., _. ,,i_,.;. j;,.,ih r..i.iit.'ved well, 



pointed ami 1 .aektii. ei c. This heal was given to Daw, but, like 

 the one bel wetai .St. Elmo and Lizzie Lee.^it was very close. 

 In the clo.sing deeisiou ot the judires, Lizzie Lee won first 

 prize, St. Elmo second, Daw third. 



There seemed to be very little interest taken by Die differ- 

 ent sportsmen's clubs in Nebraska in these trials. Had it not 

 been f or ,L H. Hurley of Lincoln, Dr. Liviiuiston of Platts- 

 mouth, and Mr. Kennedy of Oinaba, they would have been a 

 faihu-e. As it was, great credit is due 'these gentlemen for 

 then- polite and gentlemanly treatment of all who were there 

 to participate in the trials. Many of those whose dogs were ■ 

 entered will remain for some time in the State y\'orkina- their 

 dugs on quail, which are to be found in limited mimViers, but 

 mosily ui groves around farmers' houses. I am told they 

 become more plenty as the weather ber..imes colder, when 

 (hey are found mostly on banks of thii streams which are 

 covered with heavy timber. Nebrasst.v. 



Another con'capondent who was present writes i The 

 number of dogs present was sninll, but made up in qu.tlity 

 wliat it lackeit in numbers. In the alkttred Stakes the doffS,

This left Thistle, Judy, Lizzie, Cluiiel ami Daw lis win- 

 ners in the first .series of "heats. Before the jmk'es had an- 

 nounced the scores all the parlies interested agreed that uuw]; 

 much as the scarcity of birds would uol pcrinil lliprimnine 

 of the .second .Series" of beat.s, the judges should determine the 

 first, second and third best dogs from among all Unit had run 

 as above, which resulted as slanvn by the above score in 'dv- 

 ing tirst to Lizzie, .second to St. Eiim") and Ibird to Daw.

—In all probability there will beaeveral of the crack Western 

 dogs entered for the Eastern field trials. Should this be so 

 the competition between Westernand Eastern dogs \vill be mi- 

 usnally interesting. It has oflcn been said, and al.surdlx' loo, 

 that Eastern dogs are of no account, on the prairies, ^y^■ will 

 now have an o)iportnnity of seeing for the first time Western 

 dogs handled on Eastern sriil ; and one thing is certain, no 

 ■■ dnlTer" will this year nose his way to the fi'onl. 



Sexs.uion-.— The Westiuinster Kennel Club have entered 

 fiiampiou Sensation for the Eastern Field Trials, wdiicb are 

 lo be run on Piobin Island next month. In the meantime 

 Mr. S. T. Hammond, of Sprin.giield, 3Iass., will irive ilie 

 splendid fellow plenty of work m Maryland. There has been 

 a great deal of talk among a certain class rhat Sen.eaiion 

 was only cood to '.show on 'the Ixaieh. Our .|,,ii i-ne,! v,il]

A LojfCi CnA.sE.— The gi-andest running on record was 

 made liy two full-blooded fo.x-hounds belonging to A. II. 

 Dobbins and R. E. Beem, of this place, last week. The 

 hounds, a bitcb and a dog, starle.l a red fox on Frida^ even- 

 ing at 7 o'dock, and made a conlinuous run imlil t^unilay 

 inorninir at 10 o'clock, making thirty-nine bouts. The du"'s 

 .start, d Ibe fov in Ibe northern part of the . ouiitv, rnmiin" 

 him in a southerly direction about fifteen miles, where ibey 

 swam the rivT'r, and from that time on Ibey kept on the west 

 .side of While Kiver. The dogs weie in close pursuit of tbr 

 fOv on Snn.lay ima-ning, and it is .supposed they camriil him. 

 Will the Konr-^i .iNo SriiEVM of New York" jdcase tell us 

 whose dog.^ ha\ e beaten this time ? The bitch weisdia thirty- 

 fom-]iuimds and is twenty-eiL'bi mouths old, and the dos'is 

 eiirhteen months old and weidis foify-five xyimads.— The 

 Dunorri'f, l!t<«>iiiji<l'l, liiO. 



As il is only occasionally that feats of endurance of this 

 kind are dotted down, it is impossible for us lo give anything 

 like a record of foxJioimd running. AVe will, however, be 

 glad to hear from our readers who are interested in the sport, 

 and no doubt llie above account will unearth many interest, 

 ing answers. 



Tin: BosTOS Doo Law.— The rcgulai- season during which 

 51r. A I. Watts, the city dog-catcher, is authorized to catch 

 and kill all uulicenserl deis.s ex]nred Spjilembin- ot). The pro- 

 scription of unlieensed eaninos besiiis July Land since that 

 time Mr. Watts bas destroyed (iill doss. " ;Most of these were 

 niongi-els, of no value to their owners, if tJrey liad any, and a 

 curse to the ci I y, I'hesc animals arc cauii:iit by a net on a 

 pole, and some are lassoed. They are co'iiveye"i! to bis re- 

 pository and a dnjp of powerful a'eid put upon the tongue, 

 wliieh causes deaih in less tliaii ten seconds. S.anelimes 

 when in piir.suit of u.sele.ss canines he finds a vahiabl.' ,lng 

 rimning at large without his collar, and whenever possible 

 be follows the dog to the home of its owner and notilies him 

 that tlie dog must' wear a collar bearini; ihe uumliei of bis 

 license.. No dogs are kept at the repository, Imt are killed 

 at once. These rules are imperative and are not deviated from. 

 Mr. Waits' services are valuable to the city in more w.ays 

 than one. The fact that such an officer is employed leails 

 everyliody who c-ares for their rlog lo get a license, and the. 

 number of licenses in pivoporthon to the inimlier of do^s is 

 larger than ever before. In fact wliere:*! is |:iaid lor desfroy- 

 ing" ados the city iiets .*20 for licenses. Manv eonii.lain'ts 

 are brought to Mr. Watts by people who live in' a. neighbor- 

 beiod where some don- makes nirthl or day bideons by b.iwling. 

 Often he is called to kill a do<r suiiposed to be .■dff.ete.I with 

 madness, and these ca.ses are proniplly attende.I lo. He is 

 not a. believer in hvdroiihobia, regarding it as a niylb. He 

 .says beand his assislai.ts leu'c been bitten many times, but 

 never have Celt any ill etiects. In conversing with him about 

 the canines, he said that the Spitz are going out of favor, and 

 are about extinct in this, vicinity on account of ibeir treach- 

 erous disposition and the prejudice raised by tlic cry of hydro- 

 phobia. There is no law in Boston reipairins the "exl.>rmiu3- 

 tion of cats. i\Ir. Watts frerpiently kills cats r.)r parlies wlui 

 bring them in, and who desire that no unuecessar\- eruplty be 

 practiced in disposim: of them. He also ri.ls bnildiugs of 

 rats, and at one time received an order for HOO r.ils that Inusf 

 be killed in sucha manner thai no bones be broken. They 

 were wanted for .scientific pnrpioses, and tlun- w( re furnishe'd 

 at short, notice. It will tlms be s.-en iliai ihe city dog officer

DEiTH BY Poiso.v. — Some scoundrel on Friday last gai e 

 poison to 3Ir. .L Otis Fellows' cocker bitcb. Little Butiercup, 

 and the poor dog is dead. She was an extra fine field dog, 

 and when only a puppy, before she was eight months old, had
