Moving on Sportsman pointed, backed by Billy Gates. Or-

and Billy Gates, after some beautiful roading, established a 
epi The bird was flushed to order. Moying on in woods, 
oth dogs pointed single birds. Short shotand killed a bird 
over Billy Gates, and to order he retrieved it nicely. Working 
on in the woods Billy pointed, backed by Sportsman. The 
bird was flushed to order, but not shotat. We then swung 
round through a cotton patch to a piece of wood, where 
Sportsman flushed. Moving on some distance, Billy pointed a 
bevy, which were flushed after he had roaded past them and 
pointed ‘another bevy. Ordered on, Billy flushed ‘and soon

LADY C, AND PAUL GLADSTONE. 
Priday morning was clear and cold witha fresh breeze from 
the northeast, We did not geta very carly start and it was 
9:45 when then dogs were put down. They were east off in 
an open field about two miles from town, and worked south, 
Paul had the legs of the Lady and also ranged the widest. 
Both went at a clipping gait and beat out a large extent of 
country without a tind, finally at a hedge row along a fence 
Lady dropped on a point, and a second later Paul, who was 
further up the fence, also pointed. Stephenson, to order, put 
up a bevy in front of Lady and scored a miss. ‘We then went 
to Paul but his bird had run away, he raaded it out, however, 
and Tucker, to order, flushed and killed it, and Paul retrieved 
itnicely, Wethen crossed a branch to where they settled, 
Lady dropped on point but nothing was found, a little further 
on she flushed one going down wind. They were then taken 
round to set the wind and Lady again dropped nicely toa 
single which Stephenson flushed to order and killed, and Lady 
retrieved it well. Paul and his handler coming up flushed a 
bind, and one got up near Lady, but as they were not under 
judgment these did not count. We then went on anda single 
bird was tushed by a spectator and marked down, Worlang 
the dogs toward it both of them threw their heads in the air 
and turned back to where it had got up, Lady was called 
back but Paul went oa and made a nice point to the rest of 
the beyy, and Lady came round and backed him. Tucker, to 
order, put up the birds and killed one that Paul retrieved. 
We then turned back to the single bird which Paul pointed, 
but horses and handlers were close up and the bird would not 
he. The dogs were then worked toward the bevy where Paul 
got in three nice Bae in quick suecession, and Lady made 
an excusable flush, They were then ordered up just as Paul 
pinned another one, and the heat was awarded to Paul Glad- 
stone. Down one hour and two minutes. This was a capital 
heat with scarcely a mistake. 
GENERAL ARTHUR AND COLONEL COOL. 
This brace was put down at 10:58 and given a spinin the 
open, and then worked back to where the last brace were 
taken up, They were nearly equal in speed, although near 
the finish Col, Cool had a trifle the best of it. None of the last 
birds were found, except one that was flushed by Haight. 
We then turned upa branch, and the General pointed where 
a bird had been marked down in some sedge, but it had run 
and he failed to find it. A bird was flushed by the handlers, 
and. it settled near a feuce, when General dropped on a point 
to it, and Haight to order flushed and Killed it, and General 
retfieved it nicely. The Colonel then pointed and General 
backed him, but was not steady, and he was dropped to order, 
Nothing was found, however, and Colonel ested afalsé point. 
The jue ces flushed a bird some distance behind him, which 
may 
ave been the one that he pointed, butas be did not road | 
in that direction, we thought it very doubtful. We then 
worked over considerable sround without result, except that 
Colonel pointed where a quail had been eaten by ahawk, and 
General refused to back, and was dropped to order. Soon 
after General dropped where a lark had got up. We then 
went into some woods where General made a nice point to 
abeyy. Colonel came up put could not see him, and went a 
few feet in advance of him and also pointed. Short flushed 
the birds and killed one, but it fell in thick briers and was 
not retrieved. Following them up, one gob up near Haight 
and his dog, and then Colonel made three flushes in quick suc- 
cession, although one of them was excusable. They were then 
ordered up and the heat was awarded to General Arthur. 
Down fifty minutes, This heat was not very satisfactory, and 
no brilliant work was done, 
ST, ELMO IV. AND GLADSTONH’S BOY, 
This brace was put down at 12:12, and given a turn in the 
open. St, went ata fair rate of speed, but not nearly so fast 
as his competitor, Turning back, Glad made a wide cast out 
of sight over a knoll and found a beyy, which he pointed and 
held until found by his handler. When the judge came up 
the birds had run, but Glad drew on about thirty yards and 
again pointed in grand style. Tucker, to order, flushed them 
and killed one that Glad retrieved. ‘The dogs were then 
worked toward the birds, and St, found onein a deep gully 
and pointed itin capital style, and Glad backed him nicely. 
Haight, to order, flushed and killed the bird, and St. retrieved 
it in good form, This was avery pretty piece of work. We 
then worked down to a branch, where Glad flushed one, and 
then gotin a good point to a single, which Tucker flushed to 
order but did not shoot. Then turning back, both dogs ran 
through the rest of the scattered bevy, which flushed as the 
judges came up. Following them up St. made a point to a 
single, that Haight to order flushed, but did not shoot. Soon 
after St. again pointed, but nothing was found. We then went 
into some woods, where Glad made a very stylish point to a 
large bevy, which ran away from him, but he drew on and 
located them in capital style. Tucker flushed them to order 
and missed. They were then ordered up, and the heat was 
awarded to Gladstone’s Boy at 1:04. Down fifty-two minutes. 
Wethen went to lunch. This ended the second series, with 
the following result: 
Second Series. 
Billy Gates beat Medora. 
Ress beat Sportsman. 
Paul Gladstone beat Lady C, 
General Arthur beat Colonel Cool. 
Gladstone’s Boy beat St. Elmo IV. 
Third Series. 
RESS AND BILLY GATES, 
This brace was put down at 1:44 in a cornfield. Both started 
off well and were very evenly matched as to speed, Billy hay- 
ing the best of itin style. We beat out a large tract of open 
field without result until we came toa branch, which Ress 
crossed and went out of sight. Just then Billy ran up the 
branch and made a stylish point some distance from a hevy. 
When we came up Ress was found under the bank pointing 
the same bevy. The birds were flushed, and both handlers 
shot. One fell to Short and Avent scored a miss. Billy re- 
trieved the bird nicely, Following them up, Ress made a 
Jong point to a single that flushed as the handlers came up. 
One then got up near Billy, Wethen crossed the branch and 
worked toward a part of the bevy which had settle@in some 
tall grass. One flushed near Ress, and then Billy put up one 
and Ress dropped just as the rest rose. Working toward 
them, Ress pinned one that Avent to order flushed and killed 
and Ress retrieved it. She soon had another one fast that 
Avent, to order, flushed. One or two were then put up by 
the handlers, and then Ress again pointed a single that was 
flushedto order. She then scored a false point, Billy then 
pointed where a hawk had eaten a®*bird, and soon after he 
flushed one near a fence that he should have pointed. They 
were then ordered up, and the heat was awarded to Ress at 
2:51, Down forty-seven minutes, 
PAUL GLADSTONE AND GENERAL ARTHUR, 
This brace were cast off at 2:38 in the open. Paul had the 
best of it in speed and style. Working down toa thicket, 
Paul flushed a single bird and stopped to wing, and as the 
judges came up a part of a scattered bevy gotup. Paul went 
a short distance and made a point to a single that Tucker, to 
order, flushed and missed, when the rest of the bevy got up 
singly. Wethen worked up the run, where General scored a 
false point. We then crossed a branch and beat out some 
likely looking ground without result, except that both dogs 
halt pointed and made game two or three times, but nothing 
was found. Winally Paul poinyed a single at the edge of a 
thicket, and Tucker, to order, fushed it, but did not shoot. 
Wethen beat toward some woods, where Paul was lost, but 
soon found on point to a bird that Tucker flushed to order and 
killed, and Paul retrieved it, They were then ordered up, and 
the heat was awarded to Paul Gladstone. Down fifty-five 
minutes. This ended the third series, with the following 
result: 
Third Series. 
Ress beat Billy Gates. 
Paul Gladstone beat General Arthur. 
Gladstone’s Boy a bye. 
Fourth Series. 
GLADSTONHE’S BOY AND RESS 
were cast off in some sedge at 3:36 and worked along a hedge 
and through a cotton field. Glad had the best of it in speed 
and range, although Ress putin her best licks and went better 
than in the previous heats. Working through tosome woods, 
Glad found and pointed a large beyy, and as Ress came up on 
the other side of the thicket she also pointed the same birds, 
which were flushed to order. They settled in the woods, 
Glad was the first to tind, pointing a single bird just in front 
of and facing the horses, which were so close that the bird 
soon flushed itself, Ress then pointed and Glad backed her 
nicely. Ayent, to order, killed the bird, and Kess retrieved 
it well. Shesoon had another one, which flushed as Avent 
went.to her. Both then pointed one that flushed as the 
handlers came up. Glad then madea good point toa single 
that Tucker, to order, killed, and Glad retrieved it. Both 
then pointed where birds had been, but soon wenton. Ress 
then pointed and Glad backed her, but nothing was found. 
She soon had another point, which Glad honored in fine style. 
Avent flushed to order, but did not shoot. Ress then pointed 
another one at the edge of the woods, which was put up to 
order. Wethen beat out a thicket, where both dogs chal- 
lenged, but the handlers were close up, and the birds flushed 
before the dogs had a chance to locate them. One then got 
up hear each dog, and soon after Ress pointed one that flushed 
as the handlers came up, Glad then pointed and Ress came 
up and also pointed the same bird, which was flushed to order. 
A part of the beyy settled in a cotton field on the bare 
ground, Glad went there and stopped and half pointed, 
either at sight or to order, we could not tell which, Ress 
forged ahead and made a capital point, and Avent, to order, 
putup the birds. She then went on, and one got up near her. 
She then turned into the thicket and nailed one in capital style, 
They were then ordered up at 4:22, and we started for town. 
In the evening the judges announced that they had awarded 
the heat to Ress. Down forty-six minutes, This was a rat- 
tling good heat, and Ress showed that on single birds she is a 
very hard one to beat, This ended the fourth series, with the 
following result:

THE AMATEUR STAKE. 
There were only two entries in this stake, B. M. Stephen- 
son’s Lady C, and Dr. G. G. Ware’s Gladstone’s Boy, They 
were handled by their owners, and it was decided by the 
judges to runthem one hour. They were cast off at 1:30 ina 
large sedge field, and were soon both lost, and Lady was 
after some little time found by one of the judges on a point. 
The birds flushed as he came up. Working on into the woods, 
Lady pointed and the birds flushed wild. Moving on, Glad 
pointed and the bird was finshed to order, shot at and missed. 
Moving on, Lady C. pointed, but moved on. Ordered on 
around the edge of the woods, both dogs pointed in tall sedge 
grass. To order, Dr. Ware flushed a bird and killed it, and it 
was handsomely retrieved by Glad. Working on, both dogs, 
after a beautiful piece of roading, scored a flush each. Work- 
ing on, Lady pointed, backed by Glad. The bird was flushed 
by Stephenson and killed, and, to order, Lady retrieved it m 
handsome style. We then swung round across a large field of 
sedge and weeds, when, near a hedgerow, Lady dropped to a 
point, backed by Glad. The birds were on the opposite side 
of the hedge, and the dogs were worked around the hedge, 
when, after a good deal of roading, several scattered birds 
gotup. Wethen swung down a ravine and across the hill 
and up a deep gully. Both dogs disappeared around a plum 
thicket at the head of the gully, when a large bevy rose, pre- 
sumably flushed by the dogs, They were worked down to 
where the birds had settled, when both dogs pointed a bird 
each. Dr. Ware shot one, which Glad retrieved. The time 
haying expired, they were ordered up, and the heat and Ama- 
teur Cup awarded to Lady C. Down one hour. This ended 
the trials of the Southern Sportsman’s Association,
