quartering and ranging, but Bessie A. soon showed that she 
was not herself. Working into a piece of sedge with scatter- 
ing oak trees, Bessie pointed, backed by Billy. The birds 
were flushed to order and Avent killed one which Bessie 
retrieved. Ordered on Bessie scored a flush, and soon after- 
ward in a thicket Billy Gates scored two points, backed by 
Bessie. The birds were flushed to order, shot at and missed 
by Short. We then worked over a large field without finding

birds they were flushed and marked down. Movine on over 
to a fence Billy pointed, backed by Bessie. Short flushed to 
order and killed the bird, which was indifferently retrieved

flushed the bevy. We then swung oyer into an open field, 
where Paul showed wonderful speed and style, while Slocum
