Beau a\d Whisky,— Leucht handled the setter and StoSes 



'. Down at 11 A.M. Beau is quite a nice-looking 



yhose handler, Mi. Leueht, had had but 



little experience with him, and being unaccustomed to public 



is quite nervous in lm handling. Mr.Stokes, owner 



of Whisky, is n resident oi Opelnus-s. and deserves nee-!, 



sympathy tor being handicapped by so indifferent and careless 



a dog as he has. Both dogs were coaxed into jmi

Bessie, roading in a eanebreak, got away from her handler, 



and Jarviswas ordered in until she could bo found. While 

 under orders Jarvis pointed, Avant followed Bessie and 

 found her on a point fust established. The point was not 

 allowed either dog. and thev were ordered back into fi, Id, 

 where a bevy had been marked down. Bessie ranged well 

 and displayed apod speed, while Jarvis worked close to heel. 

 After considerable work Bessie succeeded in making four or

 ill, judges ordered these two little bitches down in a cornfield 

 at l'.':';.",, and they immediately began to awaken some interest 

 in tic I ieibv. which heretofore had been regarded as a stake 

 that might well be dispensed with if such work as had been 

 witnessed Was any criterion to judge bv. Bol li dogs displayed 

 splendid ,pe,„l. sty 1- and ranging q.ialiti-,. « ith speed in 

 Cavor of Nelly Bly. One of the spectators Bushed, on the

 a single bird down wind. It was flushed to ord-r She 

 dropped to wing handsomely, and won the heal, after being

Pink B. and Biddy, handled by Short and Skannal respec- 

 tively, were put down at 9:10 A. 31. in a cornfield west of 

 Opelousas. 'fhe dogs found less cover to work in. but birds 

 were scarcer than in field of the day before. Biddv was quite 

 fresh and a lit tie wild. She ranged well and ,wid,mt!v liked 

 the work her companion cut out for her. In fad sue was to,, 

 fond of looking at him and did not pay attention to her work. 

 Pink is not the least bit gallant. He "buckled down to busi- 

 ness and soon pointed a bevy in the cornfield. Biddy, or- 

 dered up, failed to back, and "stole the point. As the odds 

 were unequal the heat was given to Pink B., and the honor 

 and money went with it. 



Fourth Series.

hedge some good ranging was done by both dogs, when sud- 

 denly Biddy made a bad flush. Magnet soon after pointed 

 alongside of her hedge, and Biddy backed her. Aiming on. 

 Biddy scored another flush, then roading together both dogs 

 got in auot her point, which proved false. Biddy soon got a 



g I point, and Magnet offset it by establishing a similar one 



soon after. Dogs called up and heat and second monev sriven
