FIELD TRIAL NOTES. 

 Editor Forest and Strewn: 



As the time for tac annua] field trials of N. A. K. Club 

 draws nearer it may be of interest to some of vour readers to 

 know who are preparing, for it ami what clogs they have, 

 therefore I send You a list of those near her-. 



E. J. Wallace, fcartlett. Tenn.. has (rath for the Derby and 

 Startle for the All-Aged Stakes, both Llewellin setters. 



Chas. Tucker, Stanton. Tenn., has Clipper and Stanton, 

 both (Hadstone— Frost, which will probably be the vouncest 

 starters in the Derby. 



Major J. W. Munian, Keeling, Tenn., has Brace, aud 

 Gazelle, both by Prince, and said to be promising. He may 

 also run Maud W., and if he do?s s'-e will be a dangerous 

 competitor. 



W. A. Ellison, Atoka. Tenn., has Xellie E. for the Derby, 

 aud Lit, Nellie E.. and probably Donno J. for the All-Aged 

 Stakes. 



tiro. W. Winfortl, Uermantown, Tenn., thinks ho has the 

 Derby winner iu Pride of Memphis (Win. Bowie's), but Dr. 

 A. I-'. Mclvimiev. Forest Hill, Tenn.. intends to fighi him to 

 the "last ditch" for first money with his Kate B. (Count 

 Noble— Peep O 'Day), and then try the old ones for the honors 

 in the All-Aged Stakes. 



H. M. Short, Middleton, Tenn., lias quite a string, several 

 already known to the public. He will have three or four in 

 each stake, and if there is anything iu numbers he ought to 

 be about the last ordered out of the raco. Pink B., Carrie J., 

 Milwaukee, Richard III. and Dash will contend for the Derby 

 honors, and the two first probably for the All-Aged .Stakes, 

 backed np bv Prank H., Victor, Don. Peep O'Day and Sue 



J. M. Arerit, Hickory Valley. Tenn.. lias one or two for 

 each stake. J. E. Mask, of the same place, has one good oue 

 for the All-Aged Stakes. With the exception of Mr. Short 

 all the abjve-named live near here. I know of quite a num- 

 bei bf persons f rom the North. East, aud West who will be 

 near Grand Junction soon with their dogs: of these I will 

 write auother time. 



Birds at Graud Junction will be ample for a largo entry, 

 and if the trials are not a success it wui not be for want of 

 birds. No one will be allowed to shoot there, and those who 

 desire to stop near there will be furnished with information 

 regarding good places by writing to me.

THE ESSEX COUNTY HUNT. 



HE meet of the Essex County Hunt, last Saturday, was 

 at Montclair. X. .1.. at :; : :. i'r. M. Al„,,,i twenty ladies 

 and gentlemen participated, the affair being one of the most 

 D the annals of the hunt. The drag was laid in a. 

 norlheil, direction, over a rather stiff country, which was 

 very cleverly traversed by all without mishap. The "bagman" 

 wa> dumped about four miles from the start, and when the 

 pack struck Die --in ,|,ev at once opened with a burst of 

 melody that caused each rider to more firmly grasp the reins, 

 as their impatient steeds plunged madly forward in the most 

 exciting chase. After making the circuit of a house, Rey- 

 nard broke away aero.,s the opeir into full viow, and at his 

 best speed made straight for Little Falls, with the pack in full 

 cry, straining every nerve to make his closer acquaintance. 

 Gaining the towpath of the canal, he followed it a short dis- 

 tance, but llndmg that thir, was altogether too slow for him, 

 lie artfully doubled and sought safely by plunging into the 

 river and crossing to an island; but he little knew the temper 

 of his foea, tor the eajpr hounds, with living leaps from the 

 bank, were soou breasting the rapid current. Reaching the 

 island, no delay was made to shake the water from their drip- 

 ping coats, but. with a grand chorus of ••heavenly music, "the. v 

 raced tinur victim round and round the island, finally running 

 into him in the open, in full view of the admiring crowd who 

 bad gathered upon the bank. Mr. Howard, the huntsman, 

 wad.. I across and brought- back the mutilated remains, which 

 were distributed as follows: The brush to Mr George Hftoker, 

 the mask to Master Wiluierdeen, and the pads to Mr, Mo- 

 Oready, MEwtw Barry Page, and Mr. Bull, Rsskx.

stakes were capitally ; 

 ested ones complained of the abolition of the puppj Btak 

 which in previous years proved oue of the insist in 

 events; but there was always some dissa i faction expressed 

 as to the staled ages of the dugs, and perhaps the executive 

 acted wisely to striking out a stake which there were ;-.r. nn els 

 for believing might lead to disagreement. And it wotdd be 

 sure to do this unless some rule for the regis&ation of puppies 

 at their birth could be made. Although we are all - hones 

 still there are some human beings who are mightil-.- .-, 

 and no one can correctly tell from observation to a mi atb or 

 two the age of any dog 'which ha- lived, say. ten months on 

 this earth. The sheep used on this occasion were pure Herd- 

 wicks and capital specimens of the breed. Th. y answered 

 their purpose well, and were quite wild enough tor anything; 

 moreover, they were the most uniform and even lot of sheep 

 wo ever saw at any meeting— i. <•■. they nfforded fewer, what 

 may be called, lucky trials than" usual. Oue of the 

 drawbacks to such contests as we are writing about is a 

 certain amount of good fortune which may be obtained by 

 one dog an easier trio of sheep to drive than another. How- 

 ever, with these Herdwicks the element luck wa- reduced to 

 a minimum. The spectators were arranged upon the side of 

 a hill, at the foot of which was a gully studded with trees. 

 On the other side of the latter lav the course, senii-circular in 

 shape, the boundaries defined by eight flags, outside which 

 the sheep were to be driven. Toward the end of the course 

 in front of the last flag a lot of hurdles were erected, extend- 

 ing from the wall to some distance up the field. In these 

 hurdles or railings was a gap about two yards wide, and 

 through it the sheep had to go, while some eighty or a hun- 

 dred yards further on stood the pen iu which the flock had to 

 be "housed." The opening to this pen was but two feet wide, 

 and with great difficulty only could- the sheen be driven 

 therein. At the commencement, the shepherd worked his 

 dog from the foot of the hill where stood the sped 

 ravine aud the trees beiug between the man and his collie. 

 However, the wind was blowing in a contrary direction, and 

 the dog could not hear orders, so after a couple of trials front 

 that point had proven unsatisfactory, the shepherd was lo- 

 cated about the center of the course, over the ravine, some. 

 four hundred yards from where the sheep were, liberated 

 The course was undulating, so much so, that at times the 

 collie would be quite out. of sight of his worker. This made 

 a difficulty. And again at the fifth flag there was a consider- 

 able decline or hollow, which had an attraction for the sheep, 

 as leading directly to a corner in the field where some time or 

 ol her might have stood a sheep fold That point proved most 

 fata! to the ultimate success of some of the competitors, es- 

 pecially as the remainder of the flags round which the little 



easy declivity. After the' trials which went for naught, 



as we have stated, the proceedings commenced with the. 

 Local Stakes, open to any places within ten miles of Grey- 

 stoke. Ben was directed to his sheep, which he viewed sore, 

 after leaving their pen ; he weut round them on tho high 

 ground, bringing them the wrong side of the first flag, and 

 also of the second one. Here ho could not manage to work 

 at all, ajidj after dallying a considerable time, was called up. 

 Toss, a white and black smootbish-coateddog, was a little time 

 before he found his sheep ; when ho did so, he went up to them 

 a bit rougMy, and brought thorn inside the flags. About the 

 center of the course one of the sheep bolted right down the 

 field, and the dog, not being able to get the three together 

 again, was called up. Meg. a pretty little black and white 

 bitch, was worked bv a shepherd of considerable character. 

 The sheep were duly' found and nicely driven for some dis- 

 tance. Then Meg managed to get to the wrong si.!- 

 they took ba-k to where they had been released from, and
