This was a grand showing tor the number of entries and a 

 larger proportion than generally come to the post. Two of 

 lashing Wascdtte and Dashing Theo., owing to the ex- 

 pulsion i t their handler, Mr. Mitchell, did not run. Pebble 

 and Lady Favne were withdrawn, and Lorna Dooue failed 

 to appear, iai~ 16ft only thirteen in. Both Sir John and 

 Byron won their heats without running, and 



'Tick and Colonel Noui.f. were the iirst brace down. Tick 

 is a wiry-looking dog, without much style, but he has consid- 

 erable speed and a good nose, and has had a great deal of 

 work. Ho was handled by John Bunnell, of Forked River, 

 N. J. Colonel Noble is a splendid-looking animal, with quite a 

 tu: n of speed. He also ranges wed, and with more experience 

 will undoubtedly turn out a good one. Ho was handled by 

 J. T. Miller, of Moutvale, N. J. They were ordered down just 

 east of the village, and the field, as well as the woods, was 

 drawn blank, and alter a long end fatiguing tramp, during 

 which ao birds were found, we reached the Model Farm, 

 where Bunnell walked into a bevy, and before he realized 

 that he was at a lieid trial ho let them have it and killed one, 

 which, by order of the judges, ho went and picked up. Fol- 

 lowing them up, Noble made a capital point, which was well 

 backed by 'I ick : but do bird was found, and the point was 

 scored as'fal>e. Tick then pointed a single bird, which flushed 

 when the judges came up. They wen., then ordered up, and 

 the heat was awarded to Tick. Down two hours and twenty- 

 five minutee. 



Roy and St. Euro IV, were the nest brace. Both dogs 

 move very well and show considerable speed and range and 

 are quite stylish. They are very evenly matched in these 

 qualities, anil the heat was well contested. Rov was handled 

 By li &. (v.rboll. of Shadwell, Va., and St. Elmo by E. H. 

 Hnigut. They were put down in a weedy field where some 

 birds had been marked. Both started on at a good gait. 

 Roy, going down wind, flushed a bird and at once stopped to 

 wing and remained steady. No more buds wore found and 

 we turned south. Roy half pointed in some tall grass near a 

 ditch, but nothing was .ound. We then drew the large 

 stubble field south of the house, but finding nothing went to 

 lunch. 



Starting out after luuch thov were again oast off, and the 

 next brace (Countess May II. and Darkness), were also turned- 

 down, to assist in finding birds. Darkness half pointed, and 

 May backed her superbly at a distance of seventy-five yards. 

 Meantime. St. Elmo found the bevy and pointed tln-iu an. I 

 Roy backed him, both doing their work in a very stylish 

 manner, llaight flushed the birds to order and killed one, 

 both dogs behaving very well. The other brace were then 

 taken up. and Roy and St. Elmo were worked toward the 

 birds, which bad settled in some woods. Roy was the first 

 to liud, wln.n he made a e.oo I point, which was well backed 

 by St. Elmo. Corbet t flushed the birds to order, and soured a 

 miss and both does dropped to shot. St.Kimoihai ran into 

 B bird and dropped to wmg, The rest of the bevy then got 

 up nil around us We followed t U< m, and St. Elmo half 



Eointedand then moved a little, and the bird flushed and 

 .uiglit killed it. Moving on a little further, St. Elmo made 

 agrandpoii i to a. single, winch was flushed to order. They 

 were then ordered up and the heat was awarded to St. Elmo 

 IV. Down one.. 



Countess May II. and Daukxtsss,— This hraco had been 

 oWwd a- short tigiu Auriag t&e last heaA, but were 'ton under 



judgment. May is a very prettv animal. She has not much 

 speed and is over cautious, but she will outgrow tlv's. and 

 should her speed increase, she will make a capital performer. 

 Darkness is a fair looking nuiinul or good size. Sho is quite 

 fast and ranges well, has -i good nose and is ver;. stylish 

 when on game. Tli-v were put down in some pines, andMay 

 soon pointed very nicely and Darkness booted her. Oapt. 

 McMurdo. in order, flushed a large bevy and missed them, 

 Slay dropping to shot, and Darkness remaining steadv. 

 Darkness then half pointed and was feeling the air, when' a 

 bird flew out of a tree over ber. This was a very good per- 

 formance. and Bhowedthat she hada good nose May bacSBu 

 her nicely, and both were steadv to wing. Darkness then 

 roaded out a bird verv uicelv, and located it in capital stvlo 

 Wanmaker (lushed it to order and missed. They were (hen 

 ordered up and the heat, was awarded to Darkness. Down 

 fifteen minutes. Lorna Doone not being present, the heat 

 was given to Meg. 



Elsa and Siceton.— This brace were at once put down. 

 Elsa, who was handled by Capt. McManlo, is a nice moving 

 little animal with good style and first-class uose. She is not 

 so fast as Sei'dei. who gets over the ground at a gifat rate. 



is verv similar to that of his sire, Croxteth. lie "movos'Verv 

 well, and if be goes all ri-.-ht will undoubtedly be heard from 

 again He was handled by Philip Thurtle. Elsa BtartedoU 

 with a point where birds had been Mushed. She then pointed 

 a single bird, which flushed wild. Sefton then made a east 

 ah. ail and made a capital point to a bird which Thurtle 

 Hushed to oriler and missed. Both were steady fo wing and 

 shot. Working on in the pines several birds started from the 

 trees and the dogs were ordered out into the open, where the 

 spectators flushed a bevy, which were followed, but Wore ool 

 found. The judges then consulted and orde-cd the dogs up 

 and awarded the heat to Sefton. Down one hour. 



Isvnia.LA II. axd Lai.i.a Rookii were then eallled fo-. 

 Isabella who was handled by W. Thayer, of Bristol, R, I., is; 

 very much like her dam in looks and movements. She has 

 not much Style, as she hunts with her head low. but sho is un- 

 doubtedly a verv killing dog. among the woodcock and mouse. 

 LallaRookh we" have described as she lan in the All-Aged 

 Stake. Isabella had the best of it at the. start, as she got a 

 good point, .mid Rooks wvnl ahead and seoreda Bush. Isabella 

 soon had anorler one ;'a-t and Kookh backed her to order. 

 Both wore steady when the bird* were flushed. Thev were then 

 taken out in the open when boi h point 'd in the <-.•() .-,., and ihe 

 birds were flushed to order. A lit tie further-on Rookh dropped on 

 a nice point, and was handsomely backed by Isabella. The 

 bird was flushed to older, and boll, wen- stei 4y, ... .. ingo I 

 Iwibulln struck a trail and roaded some distance, and Rookh 

 was called olf the trail and brought up to her. but nothing was 

 found and Rookh went bactc, and te'.ing the scent went 

 straight to the. bevy, and pointed them in caoital -I vie. Thev 

 were flushed to order, and the judges awarded the heat to 

 Lolla Rookh. _ Down, thirty-five minutes. Tin's concluded ihe

5'cconrf Scries. 



Sir John- and Bvron.— This brace were at onco put down. 

 Both had won their heats in tho first series without running, 

 Sir John in a large dog, nol yei fully developed. He moves 

 very well, and shows that ho has a capir-U nose. He gives 

 promise of making an excellent animal when mature, lie 

 plain y showed a'laok of experience aad exhibited a tiniHity 



by Martin. fteron. handled lw H. O. Butterfield, is quite 'a 



young dog of great natural ability. He is fairly : 



and worked toward some birds that had been marked down. 



Byron was the first to strike scent, when he ohallcn ed, 



soon moved on, and roaded awhile very nicely, but got boo 

 close mid flushed the bird John then made a good point, and 

 the bird wn.s flushed to order. Byron then pomted, but soon 

 moved on and roaded out the bird in capital style, finally lo- 

 cating it verv cleverly. Butterfield flushed the bird to order 

 and killed it. John then pointed and Martin also seoreda 

 kill. Moving on a few steps both do „-s pointed nicely. When 

 the birds w ■: . flushed, Byron dropped to wing and John took 

 a step or two back tow. .id his handler. Byron then made a 

 cast up the hill and took a nice point, which John did not 

 back in verv good form as he was not- still. When ordered to 

 flush, Buttertield failed to find, and the point was scored as 

 false. John then half pointed, and backed out. Martin, 

 walking up, Hushed the bird. They were then ordered up 

 and the heat was awarded to Bvron. Down twenf v-liv,; min- 

 utes. This closed the rnun'ng for the day. 



On Monday morning we left the hotel a few minutes past 

 eight, and driving about two miles east, 



TICK and ST. Emm IV. were cast off in a field of sedge. 

 After working some distance; St. Elmo ran into a hare, and 

 took one or two jumps for it, but at oaco dropped to order. 

 We then took quite a tramp through fields of sedge and stub- 

 ble, and then turned into some woods, where St. Elmo made 

 a false point, which was well backed by Tick. We then came 

 toa field of sedge, and while sf.audimt still, a large bevy flushed 

 close by us. Following them up. Tick came to a point, and 

 St. Elmo half backed him. Both then roaded a short distance, 

 when Bunnell flushed the bird, which he killed, and Tick re- 

 trieved it very well. A little, further on, both dogs made a 

 beautiful point. Uaight flushed tli3 birds to order and made 



butdid not appeal' to sneli them. He finally (Struck n. how- 

 ever, and also loaded verv nicely, but was not quite so steady 

 as Tick. They were then ordered up, aud the heat wa 

 to Tick. Down forty-three minutes. 



Daiikness a>td Me<; were then put down in the sedge an! 

 swung round to get the wand, aud then brought back to where 

 Tick and St. Elmo were taken up. Darkness struck the trail. and 

 half pointcil.nnd Meg half backed her.aud was steadied to order. 

 As Wanmaker came up, Darkness moved up and roaded some 

 distance in an elegant manner, when she left it, and easting 

 ahead a few yards, located her bird in magnificent style. 

 Meg was brought up to back, but refused and went in ahead, 

 and nosed around and put up the bird. They were then 

 ordered up and the heat was awarded to Darkness. Down 



- TO Lalla RoOKrr.— This brace wero at once put 

 down wle-re the other had be.-n la ten up. Roo -ii swung into 

 some sprouts, and pointed, and s.-iton backed he,- in good 

 style. She soon moved on. how e\-,-r. and working round to 

 where tho bevy were Hushed, she. pointed and roaded a short 

 dlstauce. and was ordered on. They wore then worked ■-.. i n - 

 i. ...n.-e without result, except that Sefton made a grand point in 

 a \i|.;i:il style tmtuothing 

 was found, and the point was scored as fajse. Wts I hen went 

 ...ut finding birds, although both challenged 

 once or twice, but could make nothiDg of it' Final! 



. short distance below, u bite did 

 not see hnr natil he got too close and the birds Bushed, tvhen 

 Rookh dropped to wing very nicely. The birds wont bu( a 

 short, distance, and Rookh soon had thorn again, ana 8en)on 

 booked her in good stylt?. R*oMi moved «s a step «r trwer as 



her handler came up, when Soften went in ahead of her nnd 

 pointed tho bird, wnich Thurtle flushed and killed, and Seftbn 

 retrieved it verv well. Sefton then swung out to the edge, 

 and made a nice point to a s'nsle bird, which Thurtle flushed 

 to order; Sefton soon had another one, which was Hushed and 

 shot at bv Thu tie, who had Orders to shoot, bin not to kill. 

 Seft m si ••nee pinned another one in capital --(.vie, and lte,,kh 

 backed him very nicdv. The. judge.-, aftel consulting awhile, 

 ordered them on again. Sefton swung into ihe woods 

 and challenged just as several birds Hushed be- 

 tween him ' and his handler, and one also got 

 u;> near White and his dog. Rookh then made a very 

 stylish point to a brace of birds close to a fence, and Sefton 

 backed her in erju.il style, but as she moved a step he went 

 ahead, and odc of the birds flushed when he pointed. Rookh 

 remained staunch, and tho other bird was Hushed to urder. 

 Sefton then swung out to the edge of the woods, and made, a 

 nice point at. a brush heap, but the bird had run out into the 

 stiibblo, and he soon moved on, and roaded it out in capital 

 style, with Kookh backing and moving along besidehfm. As 

 wb followed him, a bird was Unshed behind thorn, and Sefton 

 did not turn his head, but kept straight on the trail of the one, 

 he was after, which was flushed before he had fairly located 

 it, and Rookh was n n ill - nn-te.ah . but instantly dropped to 

 order This bit. of roiling by Sefton was a verv commendaole 



piece of work, and as e losai -tee wesawat th; neet 



After consulting, the jndgeB awarded the heat bo LallaRookh. 

 Down one hour and fittv-live nnnuts. This was one ot'thn 

 closes! h-ats of the meeting, and we imagine that the superior 

 style of the little beauty pulled her through, lot in everything 

 else wo thought them very nearly equal, This ended the 

 second series. Following is the summary: 



Byron beat Sir John. 



Tick beat St. Elmo IV. 



Darkness beat Meg. 



Lalla Rookh beat Sefton. 



Tkinl Series. 



By kon- a.vd Tick.— After luuch this brace was pal. down, 

 and worked toward the place when. (he. last beyy was flushed. 

 When we arrived there Tick challenged and roaded nicely. 

 Meantime Bvron pointed a portion of the bil ds, and held them 

 Eor some ; Unfe while Tick was . oading the rest, which had run 

 further on. Finally Butterfield flashed Byron's bird to order 

 and killed one. Then Byron worked ahead of Tick in he 

 weeds, audasin.de bird Bushed close L-. him. Both dogs 

 then alternately loaded no to another bird which flushed 

 close by them, and Butterfield killed it very neatly, a long 

 distance away, Then crossing -the week, Tick pointed a 

 ^.nrlebird and Byron backed him, The bird was flushed to 

 o ti by Bunnell, and killed. Byron then scored a false point. 



IUle Tick, who was partly behind him, located one iii oapitaJ 



The 



stylo, and Bunnell flushed it to order. We tin 

 through somo woods, when Tick m 

 bevy.and Byron coming up also pt 



bevyflushod as the handlers came up. anu eacn laned one. 

 This was very well done all round. We then went Into some 

 nines, where" Tick pointed a bird that had been killed some 

 time before and Bv. on backed him. Moving on a short dis- 

 tance Tick made a nice ro'nt to a single bird, which Bunnell 

 flushed to order and killed. Tick was justatriflo uneasy 

 when the bird flushed. When sent to retrieve he brought it 

 in good form. Thev were then ordered up and the heat was 

 awarded to Tick. Down tbirf.-ti eo minutes. This was a 

 capital heat and Pyron. although ho has hud but little work, 

 showed up in grand form. 



DaricnesS and LaLLa Rookh were then called for, nnd east 

 off in a field of sedre. Workinr up tho creek to the road, we 



crossed and bear dow.i through th eni'icid qu'te a distance 



without finding birds. We then turned b-n-k, wheu the hand- 

 lers flushed a bow. which we follow -d back d. wu the creek, 

 wheu loth dors challenged, but nothing was found, aud the. 

 bird- were finally flashed by the judges. We then turned 

 back into some sedge, where Rookh challenged and ,-.... I ■■! 

 but gave it up, and a little further on she repeated the per- 

 formance. Darkness then wist ahead aud made an eJeeant 

 point to the bew that Rookh had b-en trying to lind. Rookh, . 

 when she ea-o 'in sight of her, instantly dropped aa if shot. 

 Wanmaker Hushed the birds to or'erand killed rightarid 

 left. Thev were then ordered up, and the heat was awarded 

 to Darkness. Down an hour and thirteen minutes. It is but 

 fair to Lalla Rookh to say that she had been led ar uud in 

 chain so long that she had !o-t much of her ambition aud 

 scarcely knew what was required of her. This concluded the 

 third series Fol lo wiug is the summary : 



Tick beat Byron. 



Darkness beat Lalla Rookh. 



Eowth Series, 



TlfaK and Darkvf-ss.— This was the deciding heat for first 

 placo. Thev were cast oft in the. woods and worked toward 

 the place, where the last bow had settled. Tick was the lb st 

 to find, but he_gOfctoo close to tho bird and it flush* 

 he dropped. He then moved on and another ouo got up closo 

 bvhim. Meantime ■ if da brace uud 



tree top, and Wanmaker II ashed them to order and missed. 

 Darkness then scored a flush, We ih u tumid back and 

 Tick mr.de a capital point to a single bird, which Bunnell 

 flushed tD order. Wetheli crossed a, brook (so some sedero, 

 where Darkness made a beautiful crouching point, which 

 Tick backed in good stvle. Wanmaker ihish-c] to order and 

 killed very neatly. Darkness w.,s ordered to retrieve, but 

 Tick evidently thought the order intended for him, and ho 

 went for it a<:d brought it in goo I form. They wero now 

 ordered up and the heat w.i> award :d to Darkness, and sho 

 was declared tho winne.'- of fi stpriaa Down iavantsen min- 

 utes. This proved to bo the last heat of the meeting, for tho 

 handlers requested tho judges to place tbo other digs with- 

 out further running, mid thev awarded the si— .md prize to 

 Tick, the third to 1 ail a Rookb and Byron, and the Ileckscher
