They were drawn to run in the following order : May Laveraok 

 aud Skip, Pet Laverack and Beltou III., King Dash and Biz. 



MAY LAV-EKACK AND SKIP 



were put down for the first heat at 9:15. May is a awoet moving 

 little bitch and catches her points in a very taking way. She 

 swung ahead in the sprouts and got the first point, which Skip 

 backed, but was a little unsteady. Both dropped to order. A 

 little further on Skip made a false point, wbi ch May backed rather 

 indifferently. Skip was then withdrawn and May declared the 

 winner of the heat after being down only fifteen minutes. 

 TET LAVLKAOK AMD BELTON HI. 



were then cast off. Pet very soon dropped on a point and was 

 handsomely backed by Helton, but nothing was found and Pet 

 Booted a false point, It was half an hour before anything else was 

 done, when Belttm found a bevy aud pointed them in good style, 

 Pet dropping flat to back as soou as eho saw him. The birds were 

 Unshed to order, aud ouo was killed by Mr. Snellenburg, while Mr. 

 Stay ton missed. Pet retrieved the bird fairly. Beltou was soon 

 paintiuR. again and Pet backing flat on her belly. Mr. Stayton 

 Hushed to older and killed neatly with his second barrel. This 

 was very pretty although Beltou was not quite steady to wing, but 

 at ouce 'tiecarne quiet to order. When ordered to retrieve he failed 

 to find aud flushed a bird while searching for it ; and when the 

 handlers, moving up, put up a bird and killed it, Belton retrieved 

 it. but not in Brst-olass style. They were then ordered up and the 

 heat awarded to Beltou. Down one hour and a half. 



BIZ AND ICING DASH 



were now put down ; and DaBh after a few jumps dropped on 

 point, but nothing was found and ho scored false point. Moving 

 on be again pointed and Biz joined him, when both moved on. 

 Hi,-: swung around to the right and came to a beautiful point on a 

 bev> juntas a single bird started. Dash was close by and both 

 remained steadv while the bevy flushed a little wild. Going on, 

 Biz challenged "on trail of a single bird but got it the wrong way, 

 and roaded to the end ; but uof satisfied he swung back aud ran 

 into the bird and scored a flush. They were then taken up for 

 luueli, and again put down; but the soont was very poor, as the 

 dry wind was very unfavorable, especially in the middle of the 

 day. and it was a long time between birds. Dash was the first to find, 

 but it was not a lucky find, as he flushed the bevy. Mr. Mc- 

 intosh tried one ol them but missed him as neatly as any of the 

 Erol'essionals could have done. Biz now scored a good point, which 

 iaah backed in graud style. Mr. Mcintosh flushed it to order and 

 grassed it m capital form. The dogs were then ordered up aud 

 the heat awarded to Biz. Down three and one-half hours. This 

 ended the first series of heats. 



rntST SERIES OF HEATS. 



May Laverack beat Skip. 

 Bolton 111. beat Pet Laveraok. 

 Biz beat King Dash. 



K4S LAVKHACa AND BELTON III. 



were put down at U:A5 to run tho first heat of the second series. 

 Beltou at once flushed a single bird. Be then dropped to point on 

 another, aud May backed him nicely. The bird was flushed to 

 order and shot at, when Belton broko shot. May then scered a 

 flush aud Bolton again made a magnificent point, which May backed 

 to order. Mr. Staytou flushed I he bird to order and missed; he 

 soon put up another, which ho killed, when Belton again broke 

 shot aud retrieved it. Beltou, a little further on, made another 

 flush. May now pointed nicely and dropped to shot, aud Belton 

 remained Steady. They were then ordered up and the heat award- 

 ed to May Laverack. Down one hour. Mr. Stayton then withdrew 

 Belton. as tie had never haudled him before aud could not control 

 him. Mr. Snellenburg and Mr. Melutosh theu divided first, and 

 second was awarded to King Dash. This was perhaps the best way, 

 as it was uearlv dark, aud if run out in the morning it would pro- 

 long the meeting beyond the time that the judges oould devote

TUESDAY. 

 Tuesday morning the All-Aged stakes were commenced at 8:15 by 

 casting off 



DASHINd MONARCH AND OOBDON 



just east of the old fort, near the pines. Monarch was handled 



by Martin and Gordon by Titus. Both dogs appeared to be feeling 

 well, Monarch especially, showing by his more animated move- 

 ments that he was feeling better aud that he was more himself 

 thau he had previously shown either here or at Bobbins' Island. 

 Gordon was also going well, and was the first to find. Swinging 

 into the thick scrub oaks be dropped on a capital point to a bevy. 

 Monarch at once backed him in his own graud style. The birds 

 flushed wild and were at ouce followed. One wa-s seen to flush 

 wild, and Monarch pointed where it got up, but soon moved on 

 and located a half dozen birds, which lie pointed magnificently 

 and Gordon backed him very gracefully. Martin Hushed the birds 

 to order but did not shoot. Swiuging into the pines, Monarch 

 again pointed, but the birds flnshed wild, when he dropped to wing 

 nicely. Titns then put up a single bird and Gordon dropped to wing as 

 though he had been shot. Working down into a ravine, Gordon 

 dropped suddenly on point to a single bird and remained steady 

 as a clock, although the bird ran away down wind between the corn 

 rows in plain sight of him. This was 'rather a trying sitnatiou, and 

 speaks well for his training, as just then Monarch swung round 

 below him and, catching the scent, made one of his magnificent 

 points, which Gordon honored by partly rising aud backing him 

 handsomely. This was grand work, but a little too exciti g for 

 both handlers, who (lushed the bird toordor and missed him clean. 

 They were now ordered up and the heat awarded to Dashing Mon- 

 arch at 0:20. Down ono hour and five minutes. 



Ollie, a litter sister to the celebrated Gladstone, handled by 

 Martin, and Mr. Brown's Dash, handled by Short, were at once 

 cast off close to the pinos aud worked east. Ollie is said to bo a 

 capital field dog, and Dash is well-known about Pittsburg as a 

 rattler. Be has a very gamy look and carries himself in a jaunty 

 way that is very taking. Short trained him, but has not handled 

 him for a long time. The honors were equally divided on the first 

 find, as both dogs pointed a bevy at nearly the same instant. The 

 birds were flushed to order and' Mai tin killed one, while Short 

 missed with both barrels. Both d' gs were steady. Ollie ordered 

 to retrieve, did so very well iudeed. Following 'the birds, Dash 

 made a capital point, but running on was steadied by Short, when 

 he again stopped and Ollie backed him. Nothing was found, how- 

 ever, aud he was scored a falBe point. Soon after, Ollie going 

 down wind flushed a single bird, and instantly dropped on a beau- 

 tiful point to the rest of the bevy, who lay until flushed to order, 

 when both handlers killed. Dash retrieved very well. They were 

 then ordered up and the heat awarded to Ollie at 11 o'clock. Down 

 le hour and forty minntes. 



COUNT NOBLE AND MAXWELL. 



Count Noble, handled by D. C. Sanborn, aud Maxwell, handled 

 by Short, were then put down among the scattered bevy ; and be- 

 tween the dogs, handlers, judges aud reporters, the buds were 

 put up all around. At each rise the dogs would drop to wing, but 

 they failed to locate any of the birds, for which they could not be 

 blamed. Crossing the gully, Max flnshed a single bird. Both 

 then pointed a bird, which ran away, to the manifest discomfiture 

 of Max, who was uneasy, but steadied down to order and backed 

 Count very handsomely, who remained steadfast. In fact, the 

 Count was so sure of his bird that it was with great difficulty that 

 Sanborn could coax him on. Finally he was persuaded to move j 

 bnt, alas ! the bird had moved before bim aud he failed to find it 

 and scored a false point. Both dogs were evidently demoralized 

 from their wretched start, aud for some time no good work waB 

 done by either. Both soon dropped ou a false point. Working on, 

 Count again false points and Max backs; then Max points false 

 and Count backs. A little further Max again drops on point and 

 Count backs. This time a bud was Hushed to order and the Count 

 took two or three noble jumps after it, but at ouce dropped to 

 order. Max soon after dropped very nicely to a bevy and Count 

 backed him in a very gamy niannor. Tho birds were flushed to 

 order and one was killed, which Max retrieved in good style. 

 Count then pointed a single bird, bnt moved on past it. aud it was 

 put up a moment afterward by the spectators. Both then pointed 

 and roaded alternately, and Max scored a flush. They were then 

 taken up and Count Noble awarded the heat at 1 :05. Down two 

 hours. A move was then made for lunch. 



At 2:10 Ned, handled by Morgan, and Grouse ^Dale, handled 

 by Tallman, were turned loose and worked west. Ned showed 

 good speed and ranged very well, but was quite uusteady 

 and no match for Grouse Dale, who appeared to be feeling 

 better than in his pevious heats. Morgan was the first to find but 

 he walked into the bevy and scored a flush. Both handlers 

 shot and a bird was killed, whnh Ned retrieved fairly. Working 



i Grouse Dale scored a false point which Ned backed mdiffer- 

 „itly. Swinging east into the woods Grouse pointed a single 

 bird in grand style, which Tallmau flushed to order, but failed to 

 kilL In the meantime Nod pointed a bevy very nicely at a long 

 distance, but he drew on too close and scored a flush. Morgan 

 shot and missed ; Ned dropped to shot. The dogs were now sent 

 to where a single bird had been marked down. GrouBe caught 

 the scent and made a magnificent point, which Ned refused to 

 honor, but went on and put up the bird. Working south Grouse 

 again pointed aud Ned again went in and flushed. They were 

 then ordered up and Grouse Dale was awarded the heat at 2:50. 

 Down forty minutes. 



NELLIE AND BELTON UI. 



Nellie, handled by Sanborn, and Belton III., handled by Short, 

 were at once cast off in the woods. Bolton challenged, but soon 

 moved on. Working through into a cotton field, Nellie dropped 

 very nicely to a Bingle bird, and Belton dropped to older. San- 

 born walked in and put up the bird, which flew straight for Short, 

 who instantly dropped to wiug and escaped unhurt, as also did 

 the bird. Nellie again pointed, aud Belton, refusing to back, drew 

 ahead of her. She then roaded on and scored a flush. Sanborn 

 again Beored a miss and both dogs dropped to shot. Working 

 down wind by the fence Nellie flushed a single bird. Turning 

 into the woods and passing through to a large cornfield both 

 dogs did some very nice ranging and quartering. Then crossing 

 the railroad along turn was taken without result. Finally Nellie 

 found a bevy and made a grand point, which was handsomely 

 backed by Belton. Banborn flashed to order and killed a bird, 

 both dogs dropping to shot. The bird was retrieved by Nollie but 

 not iu first class style. Following the birds Nellie pointed, but 

 Belton drew bv her and both then roaded a running bird and 

 passed by it aud flushed the bird close to their heels. Belton then 

 worked over a knoll out of sight and several birds were seen to 

 get up in bis vicinity. They were then taken up and the heat award- 

 ed to Nellie at 1:15! Down an hour aud twenty-live minutes. 



Warwic.k handled by Martin, aud Mack Laverack handled by 

 Short, were at once put down. Warwick was quite lame, owing to 

 a trunk having fallen upon his toot in the ears, yet notwithstand- 

 ing this drawback, ho went very well. Mack started off at a rat- 

 tliug pace, and went like a ghost for a whils, but something went 

 wrong and he " wouldn't play," but quit and laid down. Short 

 then withdrew him, aud tne heat was given to Warwick at 4:40. 

 Down twenty-five minutes. fcThis ended tho first series of heats. 



FIKBT SERIES ALL-AQED E 



Dashing Monarch beat Gordon. 



Ollio beat Dash. 

 Count Noble beat Maxwell. 

 Grouse Dale beat Ned. 

 Nellie beat Belton III. 

 Warwick beat Mack Lavoiack, 

 King Dash a bye. 



KINO DASH AND DASHTNQ MONARCH. 



King Dash who had a bye, handled by short, and Dashing 

 Monarch were put down at 4:45 to run the first heat of the second 

 series. Both started off in grand style, Dash getting oyer the 

 ground at good speed, while Monarch' ranged very wide with his 

 head well up, more natural than we have seen him this aeaaon. 

 Except a slight challenge by King nothing was done; and they 

 were taken up at five o'clock to go down again in the morning.

 Martin put np the bird to order and scored a lull. Both dDgfl 

 dropped to shot, and Monarch retrieved beautifully. Both then 

 pointed, but DaBh drew a trifle too close and got a Hush. 

 Swinging to the north, Monarch forged ahead into a swale and 

 made a grand point to a large bevy which was flushed to order, 

 but not Bhot at. The dogs were then ordered up, aud the heat 

 awarded to Monarch at 10:30. Dowu one hour, altogether one 

 hour and fifteen miuuteB. 



This heat from start to finish was about ai 

 possible, aud both dogs coveied themsolv 

 achieved honors worthy Monarchs aud KingB. 



COCNT NOBLE AND OLLIE 

 were now ordered down and cast off at 10:50. They worked over 

 the hill, where some birds had been marked dowu Count found 

 first and dropped to a single bird, Ollie backing him very grace- 

 fully. Sanborn flushed to order and missed. Count straightened 

 up and instantly dropped on another point. When this bird got 

 np he made a jump or two, but at once dropped to order. Work- 

 ing ou to a swale Count, while going at speed, carelessly flushed 

 a bird, and soon after scored a false poiut, which Ollie backed. 

 Swiuging to the east some fine ranging was done by both dogs, 

 Count showing the most>peed and ranging the widest. Entering 

 some woods, Mr. Dew saw a hawk sitting on a tree and requested 

 Martin to shoot it. At the report of the gnu a bevy of birds 

 were heard to fly. Upon looking iu their direction both dogs 

 were seen pointing. Soon after they were taken up aud the heat 

 awarded to Count Noble at 11 :50. Down ono hour. 



OEODSE DALE AND NELLIE 



were at once cast off in the same woods. Nellie led off by flush- 

 ing a single bird, and shortly after Grouse Dale, swinging into a 

 swale, followed suit, working np the swale and crossing the rail- 

 road into a cotton-field, Nellie pointed and Grouse, twenty yards 

 away, backed her in grand Btyle. Nellie drew on and a couple of 

 larks got up iu frout of her, which misled her, wo thought, as she 

 moved on aud flushed the bevy, which Tallman shot at but missed. 

 Then turning toward lunch, they were taken up at 12:15 and an 

 horn- devoted to the lunch, when they wore again put down aud 

 worked toward the birds that Nellie had flnshed. Swinging into 

 the swale Nellie found first and pointed nicely, Grouse backing 

 grandly. Sanborn flushed to order and missed, aud Tallman 

 wiped his eye very neatly. The bird was retrieved by Nellie iu 

 good style. " Grouse then pointed and Nellie backed him. Tail- 

 man, to order, flushed and winged the bird, which Grouse roaded 

 out in fine stylo and retrieved alive in first-class style. Nellie 

 then found a" bevy, which she pointed very nicely, and Grouse, 

 who was more thau fifty yards distant, backed her superbly. The 

 birds were flushed to order and both dogs dropped to wing. 

 Meantime the spectators had flushed a bew, which were fol- 

 lowed, but not found. Working through some woods into 

 a large field, Grouse, goiug down wind, flushud a single bird. 

 They were soon ordered up and the heat waB given to Nellie. 

 Down an hour and a half. 



SECOND' BEKIES OF HEATS. 



Dashing Monarch beat King Dash. 

 Count Noble beat Ollie. 

 Nellie beat Grouse Dale. 

 Warwick a bye. 



COUNT NOBLE AND WAUW1CK 



were then put down in the open. They started off at a rattling 

 pace and kept it up all through the heat, which was remarkable 

 only for the number of flushes aud false points made by each. 

 Count led off by pointing a running bird, which he roaded very 

 well indeed for a hundred yards, wheu several larks got up just 

 ahead of him, and with them a single qnail. It was now War- 

 wick's turn, and he ran into a bevy in the swale aud sent them fly- 

 ing in all directions. He dropped nicelv to wing. The judges 

 now took a hand and scored a very neat nn»h on a single Mid, 

 which was marked down, aud both dogs swung round toward it, 

 but they did not succeed in Btarting it. Working I hem hack 

 again, Count turned his head to the whi.-te, u i M -:1a the scent 

 of a bird, which he pointed nicely. Warwick was called up aud 

 backed him iu good style. The bird wa 

 missed by Martin. Turning to the right a 

 spectators flushed a bevy, which were marl 

 and soon followed. Count then made a f 

 wick backed ; then, for a change. Count flushed a single bird. 

 Warwick now came to the front with a grand false point, which 

 the Count backed in good style. Ho then scored another flush, 

 and a moment later another false point, which Warwick backed. 

 This was getting monotonous, and the Count, I o show what ho 

 could do, flushed two birds at once, and as be moved: , ■•,:, ■-■■•_ 

 steadied him, and he pointed aud was handsomely backed by War- 

 wick. The bird was put up and missed by Martin. Moving on, 

 Count again flushed and then fal-e pointed, aud Warwick backed. 

 Thev were now ordered np, and the heat was given to Count Noble 

 at 8:30. Down a little over an hour, 



DASHTNQ MONARCH AND NELK1E 

 were put down at 3 40. Working through a plum thicket, a turn 

 was made toward home. Both challenged iu a swale, but notl ing 

 found. Moving on, Monarch dropped
