BUCKELLEW AND SLOCUM 
were cast off in the stubble at 4:30. Slocum at once made a 
stylish point to a hare and was called off. We then swung 
down to some pines near a copper mine, where so many heats 
haye been decided the past two years. Buck at once chal- 
lenged and then pointed a bevy that was evidently running 
toward him from the stubble. Slocum swung ss right 
into the midst of them and scored a Pee 
then backed Buck, who had remained steady, seine that 
just the end of his tail was vibrating. Buck thenwent on and 
challenged but the birds flushed close to handler befure he 
located them. Slocum then pointed where they got up and 
Buck backed him. They were ordered on when Buck also 
made a point to the scent and was backed by Slocum. Buck 
then pointed at the foot of the gully, but no bird was found, 
although one was flushed near there a little later. Buck then 
turned up the run and got a nice point to a single, which 
flushed as the ae Be came up. Slocum then pointed near the 
upper 6nd of the run, but soon went on and repeated the per- 
formance. Then in the woods where the last brace were 
taken up Slocum made a nice point, but spoiled it by moving 
on and flushing the bird. Meantime Buck gota good point to 
a single that Mr. Coster flushed to order, They were then 
ordered up and Buckellew was declared the winner of the 
heat. Slocum then, just to show what he could do, made 
several good points, and behaved very well. It was now 5 
o'clock and this{finished the work for the day. 
BRIMSTONE AND PRINCESS HELEN, 
There was no change in the weather on Saturday, except 
that, if possible, it was dryer than ever. Leaving town shortly 
after 8 o'clock, we rode nearly four miles east, and the dogs 
were cast off in a large sedge field and worked down toward a 
smaJl branch. Helen was the first to find, but instead of re- 
maining staunch, she went on and fiushed a brace of birds, 
and then drew on and put up the rest of bevy. Following up 
the birds,one was flushed by one of the dogsin a thicket, 
We could not tell which was to blame, as they looked very 
much alike at a distance, but as it was Brimstone’s turn, we 
scored it accordingly. Then in some woods Helen made a 
stylish point, but moved on and got too close and the bird got 
up, Mr. Donner missing it. We then worked over consider- 
able eround without Tesult, Both dogs went well, ranging 
wide ata good gait, Helen cutting out the work and’ going at 
a slashing gait. Pinally Helen challenged once or twice near 
a fence, and then made a east along the hedge and was joined 
by Brimstone, when both showed sign of game. Helen kept 
on, but the birds flushed wild ahead of her and settledin some 
thick bushes where Helen found them, but working too close, 
one got up and then the rest of them went, Mr. Donner scor- 
ing amiss. Following them up, one flushed in a thicket near 
the dogs, and as we turned back one was flushed by 
Judge Smith Mr, Coster thinking that Brimstone 
had put up the bird, called her in and gave her a taste of the 
whip. This may have been the best possible thing to do, as 
it aroused the sympathy of the judge for Brim, who stood in 
need of something to count in her favor. We then took a 
long turn without a find. As we were working up a hill in 
some sedge, the judges flushed a hare which ran just in front 
of Helen, who was remarkably steady under the trying or- 
deal. We then crossed to a large stubble field, where Helen 
ran through a beyy which settled in some pines. After some 
very unsatisfactory work by both dogs, Brim sat down on 
poiit to a single bird, which “Mr. Coster flushed to order. No 
sooner did the bird buzz than the judges awarded the heat to 
Brimstone, who seeing that she had the heat, and wanting 
something’ to show for it, started full tilt for the bird, but Mr. 
Coster. having a good string of birds at the house, called her 
back. We thought Helen entitled to full as much credit as 
Brimstone, asit was owing to her greater speed that she haa 
found more birds and made more Aushes. Down two hours 
and fifty-two minutes. 
DIANA I. AND GERTRUDE 
were cast off in a stubble field at 12 o’clock, Gertrude at first 
showed the most speed, but Diana soon warmed up to her 
work, and took the lead which she kept to the end. The 
stubble was drawn blank, and we swung round into a thicket 
of oakand pines, when "Diana pointed a terrapin, and soon 
afterward made another point on the same scent, Gertrude, 
who had jumped into the creek, backed her nicely, standing 
with her hindquarters almost entirely under the water, Mov- 
ing on down the creek we found nothing, and the dogs were 
taken up for lunch at 12;40 and put down again at 1:20, A 
good deal of rough ground was drawn blank when, after a 
short halt in the road, we moved on down the creek, and cross- 
ing over and up the creek into some sedge grass where Diana 
pointed false. Moving on Gertrude pointed a single bird, and 
was backed by Diana. The bird was shot at by Mr. Orth and 
toissed, both dogs were steady to shot. Just then the rest of 
the bevy rose wild, and were marked down on the hillside. 
Moying on oyer the cr eek, both dogs pointed where birds had 
flown “from, but moyed onup the hill, when Diana pointed 
nicely, and was backed by Gertrude. The birds were flushed 
but not shot at. Diana again pointed, and the bird was fiushed 
to order and killed and retrieved by Diana. They were then 
ordered up, and the heat wasawarded to Diana at 2:45. Down 
two hours and forty-five minutes. 
GUS BONDHU AND BROCK. 
were cast off at 2:50 on the hill where the last brace was taken 
up. Mr. Orth flushed a bird which he killed and it was 
nicely retrieved by Gus. Moying on around the hill, Gus 
scored a false point. A good space of ground was then run 
over, when in some pines and sedge Gus scored a false point. 
Going across a branch intosome stubble, Gus pointed nicely 
and was backed by Brock, but Mr. Orth was unable to 
fiush the birds. Both dogs moved on across the branch into 
ai adjoining field when ‘the birds which Gus had evidently 
scented were seen running on the ground. Both dogs were 
brought back and Gus flushed the bevy. Moving on into the 
pines, Gus pointed a single bird. We then went on up the 
branch into a piece of stubble, where Gus flushed three birds, 
but dropped to point on the rest of the bevy. They were 
then ordered up and the heat was awarded to Brock at 3:40. 
Down fifty minutes, This ended the second series with the 
following result: 
Second Series, 
Buckellew beat Slocum. 
Brimstone beat Princess Helen. 
Diana II. beat Gertrude. 
Brock beat Gus Bondhu. 
Third Series. 
BUCKELLEW AND DIANA I. 
This brace were cast off in the stubble at 3:50; we swung 
around into the pines where the birds had been marked down, 
where Buckelew pointed and was backed by Diana, The bird 
was flushed, but not shot at, Working on Buckellew again 
ointed and was backed by Diana, Thee on down the hill 
Backellow pointed in a patch of high weeds, the bird was 
flushed to order and missed. Moving on Diana pointed aud was

backed indifferently by Buckellew who seemed disposed to 
steal the point. ‘The birds were flushed and one killed by Mr, 
Heath and retrieved indifferently by Diana. Both dogs then 
pointed single birds in a thicket; the birds were flushed and 
missed by Mr. Heath but Mr. Coster killed his and Buckellew 
retrieved it. We now moyed on up the branch, where Diana 
was scored a false point, and then swung round and worked 
down the branch, where Diana again pointed false. They 
were then ordered’ up and the heat was awarded to Buckellew 
at 4:25, Down thirty-five minutes. 
BROCK AND BRIMSTONE 
were cast off abt 4:85 in stubble which was drawn blank. 
Brimstone found and pointed a beyy in a piece of corn near a& 
branch. Brock coming up, backed for a while and then moved 
on and flushed the bevy, We then worked over the branch 
and Brimstone pointed and was backed by Brock, The bird 
was flushed and Brimstone broke in and chased ba. dly. Moving 
on down the hill, Brock flushed a single bird. Brimstone, at 
the foot of the hill, was seen to challenge, but moyed on, flush- 
ing the bird, Br ock coming up, pointed ‘false where the bird 
had flown from. Then on up, the hill Brimstone pointed false 
and was backed by Brock. Brimstone then flushed a single 
bird in the edge of a thicket, and soon afterward scored a false 
point. They were then or dered up and the heat was awarded 
to Brock at 4:55. Down twenty minutes. This ended the 
third series. Following is the summary: 
Third Series. 
Buckeilew beat Diana IT. 
Brock beat Brimstone. 
Fourth Series. 
BUCKELLEW AND BROCK, 
This was the deciding heat for first place. They were cast 
off af 5:10 near the branch where the last brace were taken 
up, We worked on up the hill, Col. Leach working Brock in 
the open field of stubble, and Mr. Coster working Buckellew 
in the edge of the woods, On reaching the place were some 
birds had been scattered by the spectators, Buckellew pointed 
in the edge of the woods. The bird was flushed but not shot 
at. We then worked round the edge of the woods, and in a 
few minutes Buckellew had scored five beautiful points over 
single birds. Brock, in the meantime working in the open 
field, had only scored a false point At 5:27 they were ordered 
up and Buckellew was declared the winner of the heat and 
the first prize in the Members’ Stake. Down seventeen min- 
utes. Following is the summary: 
Final Tie For First Prize. 
Buckellew beat Brock and wins first prize, Mr. Coster select- 
ing the gun, 
This left Dashing Novice, Slocum and Diana II. to compete 
for the honor of running against Brock for the second prize, 
but it was now dark and further work was postpones and 
we returned to town. 
Fifth Series. 
DASHING NOVICE AND DIANA II. 
The judges decided that Dashing Novice and Diana IT. were 
the best, and only one heat was necessary. Leaving town on 
Monday at a few minutes past eight, we drove about five 
miles east, where birds were reported ’plenty, The All-Aged 
Pointer Stake was also commenced on the same ground on the 
opposite side of the road. The dogs were cast off in a stubble 
field. Both moved off heavily, Novice being much disposed 
to potter, aud Diana being wild and unruly. “The stubble was 
drawn blank. We then moved on down a drain, when Novice 
challenged but moved on. Then down the ditch Novice 
pointed 1 nicely and was backed by Diana; the birds were run- 
ping, and being held some time, both dogs moved on 
where they were flushed by Mr. Heath. Moving on 
over a branch to a sedge field, Diana flushed a part 
of the scattered bevy. Soon after Novice pointed. and 
Diana backed her. Moving on Diana flushed. Wethen passed 
on over the hill where Diana scored a false point and was 
backed by Novice. We now swung round into the woods, 
where both dogs did a good deal of roading. but failed to es- 
tablish a point. A little later Diana fiushed a single bird, and 
a little further on she pointed one, which was flushed to order 
and missed. He then worked over the hill, where Diana 
fiushed and Novice soon after pointed and was backed by 
Diana, andno bird wasfound, Swinging round the woods, 
Novice scored a false point, and moving on across a branch to 
some sedge and pines, both dogs pointed and birds were 
fiushed to order before hoth of them, WNoyice next made a 
nice point to asingle bird in the branch. He was flushed by 
Mr, Wilson, and killed and retrieved by Novice. In some pines 
Novice scored a nice point, and Diana coming up in front of 
her flushed the bird. They were then ordered up and the heat 
awar ded to Noyice at 10, Down one hour and ten minutes. 
BROCK AND DASHING NOVICE 
were cast off at 10:07 on the scattered birds in the pines.-and 
Noyice scored a false point. Both dogs pointed a little later, 
anda large bevy was flushed to order. Moving on, Novice 
again scored a false point. Brock then flushed a single bird, 
and Noyice was found pointing the same bird. Soon after 
Novice again scored a false point. Wethen worked on up the 
hill, when Novice scored another false point, and Brock in 
rapid succession scored three nice poe doing a piece of 
very creditable work. They were then ordered up and the 
heat and second prize was awarded to Brock at 10;20. Down 
thirteen minutes. This finished the Members’ Stake. Fol-

Two of the judges, Messrs. Adams and Bergundthal, were 
on the ground, but a telegram was recieyed from Mr. Morford 
saying that it was impossible to be present. Mr, B. Ff. Wilson 
finally consented to serve after the finish of the Members’ 
Stake, and Mr. J. OQ. Donner was appointed to act until Mr. 
Wilson had won or lost the cup. The grounds selected were 
much more pleasant to work over than any that have yet 
been used here, and birds appeared to be plenty. Leaving town 
ab a few minutes past 8 o’clock, the dogs were cast off at 8.50 
in a stubble field. The first br. ace, Jim and Tammany, did 
not do much, and at the end of half an hour Tammany was 
declared the winner, 
Drake and Lalla Rookh were then put down. Drake did 
Some very good work while Lalla Rookh did not appear to be 
herself. At the end of fifty minutes the heat was decided in 
fayor of Drake. 
Lucia,and Joy were then put down and at the end of an 
hour were ordered up to go down again if there is a chance 
for them to win, neither having done any creditable work. 
Bang Bang and Scout were then put down. Both haye im- 
proved since Jast year, but Svout had the legs of his successful 
rival of last year, and after nearly an hour and a half was de- 
clared the winner. 
We then went to lunch, and after it was over Rue and 
Luck’s Baby were started in a stubble field. Rue was yet 
quite stiff, but after an hour’s work she beat Baby, who had 
not done much, Rue was getting nearly all the points. 
Jilt and Mainspring then ran a capital heat, getting in some 
good work. Jilt started off with three points, but Mainspring 
soon found, and after some beautiful work was declared the 
winner. 
Vision and the famous Icicle were then put down, Vision 
was not in good form, her nose being hot and dry, but after a 
good | heat she laid out her antagonist, who also did some good 
wor 
The last brace, Lady Romp IL and Donald TI., ran rather an 
ordinary heat, which was won by Lady Romp, ‘This finished 
a good day’s work, having rin out the first series of eight 
heats, 
[Special to the Forest and Stream.|

ning. Scout and Rue also ran well; Scout won at the end of

heat, Mainsprin wie Lad Romp II, had a bye. In 
third series Drake beat Scout after a good heat, and Majin- 
spring beat Lady Romp. Drake then beat Mainspring and 
wou fr rst prize. The judges selected Scout to run with Main-
