 .Moving on, Brock pointed a single, bird, but advancing down 

 wind, he w ot too close aud scored a flush. Bessie coming up, 

 also Mudied one. Bessie (lieu pointed, and Brock backed, but 

 she soon moved ou. and swung for it. Crossing a fence, she 

 struck the sc-i.t and dropped nicely. Air. Doniier flushed to 

 order, and missed. Workiniron down the branch, Brock made 

 a -rand point, which Bessie refused to back, but weut around 

 the dog and flushed it. Mr. Donner than Unshed oue. which 

 he killed very neatly. Bessie, sent to retrieve, flushed another, 

 andth.-v were ordered up and the leal awarded to Brock 

 Down oue arid a half hours. 



Dashing Rovbb ami Marchioness Pec; were now called 



for. Rover was on hand, but Peg was with the teams. Dr. 

 Rqwo understanding thai we wen- to work back that way, 

 had not sent for her, and after waiting twenty minutes she 

 was declared out under the rule, and the heat was awarded to 

 Dashing Rover. 



Don and Doi.i.v.— This brace was put down at 3:40, Don 

 is a black, white and tan dog, of rather ordinary appearance 

 until he stalls off. when he shows up very woD. He is soven- 

 eighths Gordon and one-eighth Irish. He is a very good 

 moving dog. with a fair amount of speed, and lias lots .if limit- 

 ing sense. He has a way of jumping in the air without slack- 

 mi: Ins sp.-ed. .-mil then turning his head to catch sight of his 

 master, that is very pleasing. He makes a stylish point, and 

 appears to know whereto look for his birds. Taking him all 

 round we consider him above the average of dogs that run at 

 the trials. Dolly is a nice little pointer, very stylish and 

 gamy-looking, and is without doubt a capital woodcock dog, 

 bin B he has not speed enough to compete with a liver like Don. 



Judge Smith flushed them, and missed in as good style as we 

 had so far seen. Tho birds pitched into a brier patch, where 

 Don got a good point on a single bird, which was flushed by 

 the judge's horse, when the re*t of tho bevy got up wild. 

 Working back, over a knoll, Dollv made a grand' point, which 

 Don backed, but a< nothing was found she scored a false point. 

 Then on to where tho birds went down, Dolly made a poiut, 

 but- the bird flashed wild ; then Dou made a grand point, and 

 was nicely backed by Dollv. Mr. Cruin-er flushed to order 

 and killed. Dou, ordered to retrieve, had his eye wiped by 

 Dollv, who got there first. She brought it only fairly. A lit- 

 tle further on Don again pointed, and Dolly, coming up, 

 backed loonier. The bird was Hushed, but not shot at. On 

 a little, Don made another handsome ]Kiint to four birds, which 

 flashed themselves. Mr. Stokes hit both birds that he slid at . 

 but only bagged the second one, which Don retrieved very 

 well. They were now ordered up, and the heat awarded to 

 Don. Down foitv-seven minutes. 



t .a .miss and Bii.ly Fmnt.— Couutess is ot medium size. 

 With no great amount of speed. She was undoubtedly "off," 

 as she did not show much nose. Billy Flint is undoubtedly a 

 good one, but never having been haudled by his owner, *he 

 was not under good control. Ho goes at a fair rate, of speed, 

 and is quite stylish when on game. Countess got the first 

 point in a gully. Mr. I.each flushed the bird to order and 

 killed it. Countess, sent to retrieve, did so, but bit the bird 

 badly. Mr. Leach, when he handed the bird to Judge Smith, 

 who is president of the Wood Powder Company, insinuatingly 

 r- marked that the Wood powder killed cleaner than anything 

 that he had seen; but this well-timed compliment did not 

 save Countess the penalty, although the. wit of [lie txcusi- 

 wa.s fully recognized, A little further on. Billy made a capi- 

 tal point, which Countess very gracefully acknowledged. 

 Buckalew and Peg were ordered up to back and it was quite 

 a while before they came, but both dogs were perfectly steady. 

 When the dogs came up. Buck backed in good stylo, while Peg 

 remained quiet close to her handler. This was a very good per- 

 formance, aud keenly enjoyed by all. Mr. Cragsman Hushed 

 ■: I bird 'oorderaud missed it. Billy dropped to wiBg bin 

 wa.- a trill- unsteady t-.i shot. The oilier ii-._sw.-ie steady. 

 Working through the pine thicket, Billy pointed a running 

 bird, aud Countess backing nicely. Roading too close, Biliv 

 flushed, and was unsteady. Both handlers missed the bird. 

 Then while the judges were consulting, and the dogs were not 

 under judgment, Countess went over the fence, and half 

 pointed, then she roaded, aud flushed a bird that she should 

 have pointed. Now 'turning back the last bevy were, again 

 flushed. Working toward them, Billy flushed one and soon 

 another: it was late, aud the birds were running, and would 

 not lie. Both pointed, but: the birds ran away from them. 

 and thoy were ordered up to go down again in the morning, 



SATURDAY'S WORK. 



Saturday moruing it was cloudv with overy indication of 

 rain, but we. started out- to finish the stake if' possible, We 

 had not gone far before it began to rain, and this, with slight 

 intermission, continued through the day. The dogs were put 

 down at 9:80 at the place where we left off the night before. 

 Billy at once made a point, and some of the spectators saw the 

 bird running away from Kim. This was hard luck, as he 

 failed to find it, ami was scored a false point. Then on top of 

 the hill he flushed a single bird, and a little further on scored 

 a falsf; point. They were then ordered up and the heat 

 awarded to Countess. Down altogether fifty-six minutes. 

 This ended the first series, with the following summary: 



first Series. 

 Peg beat Buckalew. 

 Brock beat Bessie. 



Dashing Rover beat Marchioness Peg, by default. 

 Don beat Dolly. 

 Countess beat Billy Flint.

.shinq Rover,— Don we have already described. 

 Rover Is oi good size and about the equal of Don in speed. He 

 appears to be very high strung, and Mr. Taylor, who has not 

 seen him for several months, could not control him. Work- 

 ing up the gully Don made a capital point, which Rover 

 backed in good style. When Mr. Taylor came up the birds 

 flushed and Rover took a jump or two, but at once dropped 

 to order. Following them Don pointed, aud Mr. Stokes 

 shed to ordor. but missed. Don was a trifle unsteady, 

 in. where nothing was found, we came back, when 

 jjoii hum-eu a flush in some alders. Then going to lunch we 

 warmed up at a rousing fire and concluded to keep on, so the 

 dogs were again put down and worked up the creek, where 

 Don challenged, and then loaded awhile, and dropped flat to 

 a large bevy. Rover came round, and, going between him 

 and the birdB, came to a beautiful point. The birds flushed 

 themselves. Then on in woods Don pointed, and Rover, com- 

 ing up, also pointed, but moved on and scored a flush, and 

 soon . epsated the. performance, whereupon the judges ordered 

 them up and awarded the heat to Don. Down altogether one 



Peg '.mi Countess were, nowput down, but as the heat 

 was unnnished and very unsatisfactory, owing to the rain 

 and sleet which was falling fast, we shall defer onr comments 

 until next, week
