 who missed them. Following them over a fence, we left the 

 horses, and when we found the dq 13, they were both pointing 

 to ether, with Lorna a half length ahead. This was 

 very pretty, and both wore scored a point. We then swung 

 back toward the horses, and Brock got a good point, which

LOXDON ANT) TlirNKET.— This was the deciding licit for first, 

 place. Loudon was looked upon by nearly all as a sure win- 

 ner, for he had steadily improved in the quality of his work 

 all through. Trinket/on the other hand, had not, in her pre- 

 vi.ri, beat, done ho well as she had been doing, and as she 



!., ■'.-. 1 signs of coming in season, it, was evident that her 

 chances to win were not very bright, They were cast off in 

 the sedre, and worked toward a ditch that was bordered by 

 thick weeds When London came to the ditch he crossed it, 

 and with the wind on his quarter, he raced up the opposite 

 sido quite a, distance, and catching the scent from a' large 

 bevy, swung his head in their direction, and with shortened 

 stride, located them, and striking a beautiful attitude, with

 and bhey settled in a garden at the head of the ditch. Fol- 

 lowing th mi up, both do rs wore east off, but London winded 

 them first, an I half point -d. he then drew a short distance, 

 and again pointed in superb style, Trinket backing him 

 very nicely. After- ai niing the beautiful picture awhile, 

 the birds were flushed by Tallman, who killed one, which 

 Trinket retrieved. We then followed the birds into some 

 woods, where Trinket flushed one going down wind - and 

 jumped for it, but at once dropped to order. A little further 

 on. she put up another one and was aga.n unsteady. The 



[Udgos then ordered them up and awarded the heat, to London, 

 announcing him as the winner of first, prige, Down, fifteen 

 minutes. Owing to the condition of Trinret, Mr. Mitchell 

 properly withdrew her from further competition. This ended 

 the sixth series. The following is the summary: 

 Loudon i". ii f iid;el and wins tir-t prize. 

 As Daisy Laverack had been withdrawn this left only Glad- 

 some, Tom and Croxteth to compete for socond place, and

again cast off, when Tom again flushed, and Glad made a 

 capital point. Tom was called np to back, but it was some 

 time beforo he got there, and the bird was flushed to order. 

 Tom, coming round, made a very stylish point, but it proved 

 to be false. Glad then got a point, but moved on arid scored 

 a flush, and soon after he put up.another one. This was get- 

 ting rather tedious, and Tom, thinking it time Something was 

 done, picked up a bird that, had been killed a day or" two 

 before, aud brought it in. We then turned back, and Glad 

 got a capital point to a single bird, which Mitchell flushed to 

 order. Clad was a trifle unsteady to wing. We then crossed 

 the creek to a pea patch, just north of the house, where Tom, 

 down wind, ran into three birds, which lie took after at his 

 best speed, but he soon came back and tho rest of the bevy 

 flushed before him, and he again chased, which put him out 

 of Hie race, and the heat was awarded to Gladsome. Down 

 two hours and live minutes. We then went to lunch. 



Ci.adsome and CROXTETH, — Second money now lay be- 

 tween these two, and they wore put down in tne. stubble north 

 61 i I" i 0US6, and worked toward the birds that were flushed 

 by Tom. Croxteth jumped into a ditch, and a bird flushed 

 from the opposite bank, but he did not hear it, and when he 

 clambered out of the ditch he pointed, but the judges did not 

 see the bird, aud only scored him a false point. Clad also 

 scored the same, as he also pointed at the same place. After 

 looking some, time in vain for the rest of the birds, we turned 

 north. Glad was the first to find, and he. pointed nicely, 

 Croxteth backing him in good style. The birds, three in nuiu-

 of the creek, where he pointed a small bevy very nicely, and 

 Croxteth backed him in good style. Mitchell flushed to' order

 and Glad came up and also pointed. Thurtle flushed to order 

 and killed very neatly. Both dogs -weTc steady. Then we, 

 turned into the thick pines where a bird was flushed near the 

 dogs, but we could not see which was to blame. Croxteth 

 then mads a grand point to a single, which Thurtle flushed to 

 order and Croxteth dropped to wing. Working out to the 

 edge of the woods both dogs were found on point, and each 

 handler claimed the point, but as no bird was found neither 

 insisted upon the justice of his claim. We then swung round
