FOREST AND STREAM.

Lady Duitkrin- ahd Lalla Rookh were at onceput down. 

 Both of these dogs are well knowu to oiir readers, cuts of 

 thcui linvi n;_c rii-i-iit 1 v appeared in Forest and Stream, thn 

 former .Inly -'.). 1888, and the latter August SI, 1888. Lady is 

 nearly the years old and has never been hunted until within 

 the past few weeks. She is very stylish and speedy, but ap- 

 peared to be afraid that she would do something wrong. She 

 is gamy on point, and with plenty of work will undoubtedly 

 turn out n capital one. She was handled bv T. f'redmore. 

 Forked River, N. J. Rookh. jus she is called, is an especial 

 favorite of ours, and we wore more than pleased with her 

 performance, She is not yet a year old, but so well did she 

 behave that all united in pronouncing her a perfect prodigy. 

 She was handled by Luke White, Bridgeport, Conn., who 

 owns her They were stinted (it l he edge of the pines .it two

was n beaut if ulpfeeo of work. L.ulv then pointed where birds 

 bad been. Rookh bneking in faultless style. Then working 

 down the branch, we flushed a bevy that settled in the <&g* 

 of some woods, where. Rookh djfopped Bat, and held her point 

 for some time, while Ladv was called up to back, but sue 

 could not see her well, and was dropped bv order. Predmorfl 

 flushed the bird to order, and killed, Rookh retrieving in good 

 style. They were then ordered up and the heat, awarded to 

 l.all.i Rookh. Down thirty-five minutes. This end eft the firs) 

 series. 



Ckiimutii and Rab.— This brace, the first of the second 

 scries, were at once ordered down, and worked in the moods, 

 when a bird flushed near Rab, and soon another one got up. 

 Croxteth half pointed where birds had been, and Rab backed 

 him nicely. Tie n ^winging back, Rab made a beautiful 

 point, which Croxteth backed in magnificent style, and they 

 were held tor some time while Mr. Traev sketched them, the 

 judges giving them credit for the work, expecting that birds 

 would run from the noise of the crowd. This proved to be 

 the case. Then a long tramp was taken without finding birds. 

 Rab finally struck a beautiful attitude, and Croxteth was 

 called lip to back, but before ho saw him ho also pointed. 

 Moving on in some pines, Croxteth dropped just as a brace of 

 birds were in front of hiin. Rab then pointed, Croxteth 

 backing him. Then both roaded, but the bird had gone. 

 Croxteth swung down to the brook and false poiDted. Mov- 

 ing on, he again pointed, but at once moved on and flushed a 

 young bird that Hew only a few yards, and soon another one 

 did the same. The spectators then put up a nice bevy, which 

 were followed across a brook, where Croxteth ' pointed 

 grandly. Rab, coming up, flushed a bird, and soon after 

 another one got up almost under Croxteth, who remained 

 steady. "Working out the thicket, one flushed near the dogs, 

 but we could not see if they were to blame. Then swinging 

 back, Rati flashed a bird in very thick weeds. Croxteth her.' 

 made a beautiful crouching point to a brace of birds. White 

 missing the last one, Croxteth was a little unsteady to shot, 

 hut at once dropped to order. Then on a knoll" Croxteth 

 pointed in good style, and roaded nicely, Rah backing him. 

 Moving on, Rab doubled on a beautiful point, Croxteth back- 

 ing him, but not quite so steadily as he should. Rab moved a 

 little and the bird got up under* his nose, and ho made a grab 

 for it, but at once dropped to order. Croxteth then got a 



,> I pom!-, rhurtle llnShing the bird to order. Rab then 

 pointed, and Croxteth backed. It was now Croxteth's turn, 

 and he made a stylish point in some weeds, and Thurtle. 

 flushed and killed the bird to order, Rab retrieving it very 

 nicely. The judges consulted some time, and awarded the 

 heat' to Croxteth. Down two hours and eleven minutes. 

 This was a rattling good heat, and both dogs were warmly 

 praised. This ended the second series. 



Croxteth and Lalla Rookh.— This heat would decide the 

 pointer prize and all were eager to see the contest, expocting 

 to witness an exhibition worth the seeing and they were not 

 disappointed. Both started at speed and Croxteth jumped 

 into a magnificent point, which Rookh backed in good style. 

 Moving on Rookh challenged and roaded and Croxteth the 

 same. It was nearly dark and they were now ordered up to 

 go down in the morning. 



Tuesday morning gave promise of a good day. There were 

 some clouds with a, light, but coo], northerly breeze. Leaving 

 the hotel at half past eight, the dogs were put down a short 

 distance cast of the town and worked through some woods to 

 an open field beyond, where Rookh scored first by making a, 

 grand point to a bevy that were scattered all around feeding, 

 Croxteth backing her nicely. White, ordered to flush, went 

 ahead of her, when both dogs turned back and Croxteth 

 made an elegant point, which was instantly honored by 

 Rookh. The bevy was then flushed all a round them. Follow- 

 ing them into the woods Roo:;h pointed and Croxteth backed 

 her, but nothing was found. Moving on Croxteth pointed in 

 a crouching attitude that was one. of the most singular that 

 we have ever seen. Rookh, not to be outdone, copied his 



Sosition almost exactly. This was warmly praised by all, and 

 [r. Tracy at once transferred the wonderful picture to his 

 portfolio, and we shall reproduce it next week, with the assur- 

 ance that it is no fancy ssetch, but a faithful representation 

 of the dogs and their positions. Moving on Rookh flushed a 

 single bird in the dry leaves, Croxteth then swung down to 

 the brmok and pointed, Rookh backing nicely, the bird flushing 

 as we came up. Both then challenged once or twice, but 

 made nothing of it. The judges now consulted and ordered 

 them up and awarded the heat to Croxteth. Down altogether 

 forty minutes. This gave the pointer prize to Croxteth.

 A bye. 



Tom and Don Pedro.— This brace, were ordered down at 

 9:35. Tom, handled by E. S. Wanmaker, of Elmwood, N. C, 

 ran last year at Robins's Island, and although not placed, ho 

 won honor and fame by his wonderful speed, good nose, and 

 stylish way of going. He was suffering with a badly cut foot, 

 bit he gamely ran a good race, although he did not exhibit the 

 speed thathe otherwise would. Don, handledbyMr. D.Hemion, 

 of Cool Spring, N. C, is also a capital moving dog. with a 

 good turn of speed. He is of good size and a very good-looking 

 animal. When the word was given, both started off at a good 

 gait over a knoll, where Tom half-pointed and Don backed 

 him fairly well. Nothing was found, and the dogs were worked 

 over the fields quite a while, and nothing was done except 

 that Don pointed a hare, Tom refusing to back him. Then, 

 near a branch, Tom found a nice bevy, which he pointed in 

 good style. They were in thick weeds, and Don, moving in, 

 flushed them. Following them up, Tom again pointed them, 

 and Don backed rather indifferently. The birds were running 

 and Tom roaded them, but was not quite cautious enough 

 and flushed one. Don then moved on, and two got up near 

 him, just as Tom made a nice point to the rest of the bevy, 

 which Don then backed. Wanmaker flushed to order arid 

 killed one with each barrel very neatly. Torn retrieved one 

 nicely; Don, sent for the other, failed" to find it. They were 

 then ordered up and the. heat a warded to Tom. Down forty- 

 eight minutes. 



Shadow and Lincoln 1L were at once, put down, and 

 worked toward the bevy, which settled in some woods. 

 Shadow ran last year at Grand Junction, in good form, and 

 gave promise of making a very tine performer. Although she 

 was beaten in her second heat, she showed some, capital work, 

 and is a very nice animal. Sne was handled by Capfc. Me-

 then swung round and pointed, but soon moved on and roaded 

 up to her bird, which she located in grand style, Lincoln back- 

 ing her nicely. Brown nailed this bird in faithless style, and 

 Shadow retrieved it in good form. This was very good work

London has greatly improved since we last, saw him. A few- 



months ago lie was entirely untrained and. very headstrong, 

 so much so in fact, that it was thought impossible to make 

 anything of him. but his performances hare wore nearly

 the bird flushed wild a long distance ahead. Daisy then 

 dropped on point, but soon moved on and scored a flush, when 

 she turned and backed London who was standing quiet. Mov- 

 ing on, a bird was flushed bv the judges, and as it flow 

 over Daisy she chasod it, but came back to order. Then 

 in a thicket Daisy sat down on point to a single, and 

 London, brought up to back, "caught sight of her just as 

 he had placed one fore foot upon a stone, when he in- 

 stantly froze in as magnificent an altitude .is we ever saw. 

 While feasting our eyes upon the wonderful picture, we felt 

 amply repaid for our lon-f journey, and will warrant; that nil 

 who were fortunate enough to witless this performance will 

 long retain a vivid recollection of the beautiful scene. Maitin 

 Hushed the bird to order and killed, Daisy retrieving nicely. 

 Then working on, Daisy pointed and leaded, and London,

Gladsome and Bessie were at oik rdctvd down. Glad- 

 some is a line looking animal of good size, lie is quitespeedy, 

 and if nothing befalls him he will be able to mako it exceed- 

 ingly warm for anything he may- meet, as he. appears to have 

 a good nose, is staunch and has good judgment. He was 

 handled by Mr. W. T. Mitchell, of Lynch's Station, Va. Don- 

 ner's Bessie ran in the Members' Stake, and is well known to 

 our readers. She was handled by her owner. They were 

 worked round the bevy to get the wiud, and Glad found them, 

 making a beautiful point. Bessie corning up also pointed in 

 good styie. Flushing them to order, they flew 'jack and one 

 or two settled in some pines, and the rest along a brook. 

 Swinging into the pines Bessie half pointed, and roaded a 

 short distance, when Glad coming up also roaded, but got too 

 closo and scored a flush, and was not quite steady bo wing.imi 

 dropped to order. Then while crossing the brook, Bessie 

 caught the scent of a single bird, and dropped in the water on 

 point; this was very pretty. Mr. Donuer flushed to older, 

 and missed. Glad then half 'pointed, but nothing was found, 

 and he scored a false point as his handler had claimed a, 



Eoint. Moving on up the brook, Gladsome challenged 

 ut moved too close, and scored a flush, he then swung 

 out in the sedge, and whirled on a capital point to a 

 single bird, which was Hushed to order, and killed by Mitchell , 

 and retrieved by Glad in good form. Bessie, coming up, 

 pointed on the edge of the bank, and two or three birds got 

 up near her, but she held her point staunchly until called 

 away, when two more got up close to her. She. then moved 

 on a little, and again poiuted. Glad backing her, Mr. Dormer, 

 to order, flushed the bird, and killed it very neatly. Itesie 

 retrieving it in good style. This was first-olass work; Work- 

 ing on, Glad made a nice point just in time to esospe penalty 

 for a flush, as the bird rose a second later. Then over a fence 

 Glad pointed in capital style, Bessie brought up to back 

 failed to do so and went around him. They were then ordered 

 up and the boat awarded to Gladsome. Down one hour and 

 thirty-live minutes. It was now nearly noon, and we went 

 to lunch at the house of Mr. D. P. White, who has extended 

 many courtesies to the club, and was one of the first to offer 

 his grounds for their use. He has . beautiful place. Which, iS

 other that we found, rewinding us of the. full-fed birds of 

 Long Island and New Jersey. After lunch we. turned into a 

 large stubble field South of the h 066, and 



Lorna and Racket were east off. Lorna is a, very e 1 



moving animal, of fair speed and style, and appears to have n 

 good nose; she has excellent judgment and works to , - 



bevy. Racket was between her ;>nd the birds, but lid BOt 

 appear to mind them. Lorna ijoi , • 1 n ■

 by Lorna. The birds wore ordered flu-he 1, and cam mneih r
