AS wo stated last weok, the boat between Peg and Ct untess 

 was unfinished, aud. owing to the rain and sleet, verv 

 uusatisfactoiy. On Sunday an effort was made to induce the 

 owners to consent to leave the matter entirely to the judges 

 and to have them designate the winner. Mr. Stokes aud fir. 

 Leach expressed themselves as perfectly satisfied with this ar- 

 rangement, but Dr. Rowe would not consent, aud the 5take 

 wns accordingly run out on Monday, as follows:

 Leach expressed his satisfaction, and the d 

 find another bevy. They soon disappeared 

 sed^o, and when found, both were, for a change," pointing 

 a large bevy, which flushed as we came up. The 

 ju.le.es gave Peg a point aud Countess a back, but 

 we thought that the honors should have been equally divided. 

 Working on after them, Countess challenged and eommonced 

 roading, but the birds were wild, and two or three flushed 

 before she located them. Meantime Peg was staunchly point- 

 ing, and Countess was brought up to back, which she failed 

 to do, but went ahead when Peg moved on, and roaded rnn- 

 niug birds very nicely, but failed to locate them. Countess 

 swung ahead and struck them, making a beautiful point 

 which Peg failed to back, and went ahead, followed by 

 Countess. Both dogs went by a brace of birds, which flushed 

 behiud them. 'Working on Peg half pointed, and then leaded 

 a single bird, but got too close and the bird got up, and'a 

 minute later she repeated the performance, Leach now 

 urged Countess to make, an effort, aud she responded by put- 

 ting up a large bovy. This was a better flush than Peg had yet 

 shown, and Leach's countenance was overspread with a win- 

 ning smile. The judge scored a flush against Countess on the 

 bevy, and the same to Peg on the single. Dr. Rowe kicked 

 against this, as the bird was partially down wind, but the 

 decision stood, which was more than could be said of the dog. 

 This bevy went down in posted land, and we swung back into 

 the -pines, when Peg flushed a bird that she should have 

 pointed. She then half pointed, and commenced roading. 

 Meantime Countess, to the left, and out of sight of 

 the fudges, dropped very prettdy on point a few 

 seconds before the bird rose, but of course got no 

 credit for it. Peg roaded out her bird very well, in- 

 deed, but it got up wild before she had established her point. 

 The judges consulted and decided the heat in favor of Peg.

Immediately ujiou the conclusion of tlio nmuiug for the

Judge Smith having a pointer entered, Mr. J. Otto Donner 

 was appointed to act as third judge while the pointers were 

 running: Mr. Smith to judge the setters, and alr.o in the final 

 heats, unless his entry should remain in. Monaich and Crox- 

 teth were put down at 11 o'clock in the sedge, when Don and 

 Peg were taken up. Monarch is a good looking dog of fair 

 speed, but seems inclined to hunt with his head rather low. 

 He is not near so stylish a dog on game as Crosteth, but is un- 

 doubtedly a fair performer. He was handled by Sir. ,f. M. 

 White, of: Chester, N. C. Croxteth has appeared" so often in 

 public that he needs no description. He is handled by Phil. 

 Thurtle. Both dogs started off well, and ranged over the field 

 in good style. After a short spin they were taken back to- 

 vrard the pines. Crossing a gull.y, "a single bird flushed 

 close by Croxteth and his handler, but the dog was not 

 to blame. Working in among the pines, Monarch 

 flushed a single bird, and at once stopped to wing. 

 Croxteth, down by a gully, also flushed one, Monarch 

 swung into the pines, and as ho did not come to call he was 

 followed and fotmd onastauneh point. Croxteth came up, 

 but did not see him and took point beyond him. Thea both 

 moved on and Croxteth pointed grandly, Monarch backing 

 him in good style. Thurtle flushed the" bird to order aad 

 killed; Croxteth, sent to retrieve, ponited another one, which 

 was flushed to order, but this unfortunately could not be 

 scored in his favor, as the other dog was kept in for him to 

 retrieve. He then retrieved his bird in good form. This was 

 ail a very pretty piece of work and was greatly admired. 

 Moving on Croxteth again pointed and roaded very nicely. 

 but the bird was down wind and he got a trifle too close and. 

 the bird flushed. Monarch then hal f pointed aud slowly roaded 

 his bird, meantime Croxteth swung round and made a mag- 

 nificent point and held the bird until Monaich came up and 

 half pointed, when the bird got up. They were now ordered 

 .up and the heat was awarded to Croxteth. Down thirty one 

 minutes. This was a capital heat and greatly enjoyed by all 



Rab and Bravo. — This brace were at once put down in the 

 pines and sedge. Rab is a very good-looking animal, rather 

 above the medium size, a good mover, and fairly fast. He ap- 

 pears to have a good nose, and did some very good work. He 

 was handled by Luke White, of Bridgeport, Conn. Bravo is 

 a very handsome dog, of medium size; he. is quite fast aud 

 moves very well, although not quite so graceful and stylish as 

 Rab. He was handle:! by Mr. J. M. Wnaita, of Chester, N- 

 C. Both started well, Bravo at a rattling gait, while Rab, 

 although not so fast, appeared to have a good share of hunting 

 sense, and swung round the most likely places in a very know- 

 ing way. Beating through the field without result, we wont 

 to lunch, which was near by. On the wav an "ole bar" was-
