 the judges, She put up another one. Pink then made a good 

 poim and Bess, a little to one side of him, pinned another one, 

 which Bushed itself when Short put up the one in front of 

 Pink. The judges then consulted and awarded the heat to 

 Pink B. Down fifty minutes. We then went to lunch. This 

 ended the third series. Polio wing is the summary: 

 Pink B. beat Bessie A.

Fourth Series. 



Carrie J. and Pink B.— This was the deciding heat for first 

 place. They were put .down in some sedge and worked 

 toward the last bevy. Carrie flushed one and Pink soon after 

 pointed one, and Carrie backed him very gracefully. Short 

 flushed it and scored a kill. Pink soon alter flushed one just 

 as Carrie found the bird, which was only crippled and flew a 

 short distance. We then turned back, and Carrie, going 

 down wind, flushed one. We then took a long turn before 

 finding anything. Finally Carrie got a beautiful point to a 

 single, which Shor' Hushed to order. She then made another 

 point, but soon moved on and drew for some distance, when 

 she again pointed a moment, and then roaded in grand stylo, 

 with her head high in the air, but the bird had undoubtedly 

 flown, as she lost it. We then' took a long tramp without re- 

 sult, and swung back to the woods, where Pink and Bess fin- 

 ished their heat, as a spectator had seen some birds run across 

 the road. Fink ran into one of them, and the rest then 

 flushed and settled along the edge of the woods, where Carrie 

 found them first and made a capital point in the, sedge. Pink 

 also pointed nicely to the same birds, which were running, 

 and both roaded a short distance, whea Pink swung for them 

 down Avind and flushed one, when the rest of the bevy got up 

 and settled in the woods. Following them up," Carrie 

 pointed, but left it when Short whistled for Pink. We then 

 swung round to get the wind, and Pink made a grand point 

 near the edge to a single, which Short flushed to order. We 

 then crossed the fence, and throe or four more flushed close 

 by. A little further on the dogs backed each other very 

 prettily. We then turned back through the woods, and Car- 

 rie made one of the most elegant points of the meeting, and 

 Pink hacked her nicely. Short flushed a large bevy some 

 distance to the right of "her. They were then ordered up and 

 the heat was awarded to Carrie J., and she was announced 

 as the winner of first prize. Down two hours and twenty 

 minutes. 



Ptfth Series. 



Pink B. and Guh Bundhtj.— The judges selected Gus Bon- 

 dhu as the best dog .previously beaten by Carrie J., aud 

 ordered him down With Pink B. to decide which of them was 

 entitled to third place. They were cast off near where the. 

 hist brace were taken up. and worked toward the scattered 

 birds, tins pointei

Gus Bonohu and Bess A.— It was now almost five o'clock, 

 and although we were all suffering for the want of something 

 hot, the judges ordered down the dogs. This was the last 

 heat, and, drawing what consolation we could from this, and 

 with the knowledge that every step was toward the hotel, 

 we- coolly followed them. They were east oft in a large open 

 fieldand worked toward town! Bess was away at her best 

 speed aud soon disappeared over a knoll, and when we came 

 in sight of her she. was staunchly pointing in some sedge. As 

 up she moved on and commenced reading in capital

 alternately pointed and roaded for quite a dista 

 class style. Bess was the quickest to catch it, and as they 

 neared the bevy, which was running to roost, she made a short 

 cast to the left aud dropped on them just a second before 

 Gus had them. He was close up, however, and made a 

 beautiful point alongside and partly over her. This was tirst- 

 class work and a lifting finish for the Trials. They were then 

 ordered up and the heat was awarded to Bess A., who was de- 

 clared the winner of third prize. Down twelve minutes.

THE GILROY FIELD TRIALS. 

 [From the Sacramento, Oal., Bee.] 



THE second annual field trials of the Gilroy Rod and Gun 

 Club were held on grounds close to G ill by, commencing 

 on Monday, November 27th. at 10 o'clock A, M.". and ended on 

 Wednesday, the 2'.)th, at 4:10 o'clock P. M. The number of 

 entries in the All-Aged Stake was seven, and in the Puppy 

 Stakes ten. The Brace Stakes, not receiving' any entries, were 

 declared off. The weather during the trials was very pleas- 

 ant, lunch being taken in the open air each day under the 

 shade of some friendly tree. The birds were plentiful^ but the 

 grounds were rough and covered with sagebrush, which gave 

 out a peculiar odor, and, to some extent, destroyed the scent 

 of the birds. The trials were a success, although the attend- 

 ance was small ; still it is hoped that all the sportsmen through- 

 out the Pacific coast will take a little more interest in these 

 field trials, as they are the best medium by which to test a 

 dog's field merits, and will also assist in improving the breed- 

 ing of our deld dogs.
