 soon swung round and backed uiooly. Those birds were running 

 to roost, and Bess roaded them in a very excellent manner, that 

 would have done credit to a much older dog. Pollux also roaded

 birds turned into tbo cover Bess pointed grandly, and Pollux also 

 located them very well. They were ordered up and Bessie awarded

 pointed, with Bess a little in advance. The birds were ordered 

 Hushed, and two rose in front of the doge, and tho rest of the 

 bevy— who were feeding— got up all over the field. This was verv 

 fair work. Sent on again, Bess commenced roading and Gordon 

 backed awhile, and then both roaded very well some birds that 

 were feeding.' Bess displayed rare hunting sense in so youne: a

Kinnikiiiuiek. handled by Stafford, and Breckenridgo, handled 

 by Capt. Pat. Henry, were put down at 10:35. Both ranged fairly, 

 but neither quartered well. Breckenridgo scored the first point, 

 which Kiiinikinnick backed in magnificent style, with his head 

 high in the air. The birds were flushed by ('apt. Henry, who 

 mused with the first barrel, but ho scored a double all the same, 

 as he killed two with the second. Breck retrieved ono of the 

 birds very well. Kin pointed the other, which whs only wing- 



I brought it iu very nicely. Then on into the Hoods 

 Breck pointed a squirrel, and Kin backed ; then Kin pointed tho 

 same aud Breck hacked. A little further on Breck flushed a bird 

 from under a tree-lop, and dropped to wing. Kiu pointed nicely 

 where the bird went down, but failed to locate it. Breck then made 

 a falsi i tot, which Kin backed. Kin then drew ou a bird, but 

 got loo close and scored a ilusb. lio dropped nicelv and remained 

 on point. We thonght Break hacked him/but no mon 

 found, although Beveral had been marked down here, 

 flushed a bird down wind, for which he was not to blame. Work- 

 ing through a Urge field of weeds, both moved Very well : Breck a

lid better, aud appeared to be under good command, 

 quartering to motion of the baud very well ; he pointi 



trieve, did so fairlv. Thev were now ordered up and Brcckcn ridge 

 awarded the heat. Down one hour and twenty minutes. Kinni- 

 kinnick is a young dog of much promise, but has not had experi- 

 ence enough to competo with so good a dog as Breck. 



DASIIINO MON.Mil II AVI) M«:|l W. 



Dashing Monarch, handled by Martin, and Maud W., handled by 

 Dr. Ware, wen; now put down. Monarch is well-known to our 

 readers as the winner of second prize at Bobbins' Jslaud last year, 

 and as one of tho en itestauts there this year. He attracted much 

 attention last year by tho excellent manner in « hich ':. 

 his work, but, although Some of his work this year »;:- brilliant, 

 upon the whole he did nm do near as well as lasf year. His severe 

 ist summer, and the constant demand for bis services in 

 the stud mav have something to do with this. At any rate he is 

 not the dog now that be was a year ago. Maud V 

 stylish bitch, and mauy of her motions remind us of !• . 

 stone, particularly the way iu which she jumps into her points. If 

 she goes all light she will he a hard one to beat when Bhe I :-.- n 

 year or two more of work. Monarch commenced by pointing false 

 once or twice, and Maud backed very nicely. On :i little further, 

 .Monarch wheeled round to the light, and made one of hisinag- 

 mfieent poiu a. Mar,.: instantly backed when she saw him, but 

 catching the scout ahe changed her hack into a pout. Dr. Ware 

 Hushed to order, and, killed, and Hand retrieved very well. She 

 then half-pointed a bare, and Monarch backed. She then went on 

 and again pointed, and Mouarch dr...,

 the hank, and Piudee mint to a point behind him, ou the trail of 

 the same bud. Tbo hitter roaded up to where he could see Lad, 

 and backed him nicely. The birds were Unshed to order and 

 winged. A little further on Lad scored a false point, and soon 

 after found a trail, which ho roaded a little too fast, and flushed 

 a bevy. Following these, he pointed one under a fallen tree, 

 which Dew flushed to ordci. Then Piudeo pointed and Lad 

 backed, but moved up when Pindee went ou. and located tbo bird 

 just back of where Pindee pointed. Dow'tlushed to order and 

 killed. Lad broke shot, and retrieved the bird in spite of his 

 handler. Some distance below bore the dogs worked ahead, and 

 both came to a point ou a large bevy. Dew killed one as they 

 rose, which Pindi.o pointed; he" thou limbed a bird, which ho 

 chased a short distance. Lad now dropped on a point, which 

 Piudee backed handsomoiv. This was very well done. Captain 

 Henry ilu.-lied and missed— both dogs steady to wing aud shot.
