FOREST AND STREAM. 



[Dec. 17, 1885. 



and T should not be surprised to see hina come out and say so . 

 It would have been better for him had he. conducted his own 

 case instead of leaving it to be crippled by others. Without 

 wishing to antagonize Mr. Anthony, I will say in my opinion 

 he is killing Mr. Heath's case. He starts out with the follow - 

 ing strange confession: "Mr. Coster and mysolf were riding 

 together at the time of the occurrence.'" It is not quite clear 

 to me why Mr. Anthony was riding with a judge. 



Perhaps he will explain the natui-e of his business with Mr. 

 Coster. Is Mr. Anthony aware that when the New Haven 

 judges exchanged such courtesies as are usually supposed to 

 pass between gentlemen they were charged with concocting a 

 fearful fraud. But Mr. Anthony is allowed to ride with a 

 judge, speak with a judge and even to coach a judge, and the 

 immaculate Western reformer of abuses remains as dumb as 

 an oyster. With Mr. Anthony on one side and " Mohawk" on 

 the other, Coster and lieaufort must have had a rough time 

 of it. 



"A very easy way out of the matter," writes Mr. Anthony, 

 '/was for the judges to have consulted Mr. Heath." That is 

 just where Mr. Anthony is wrong, and Forest and Stream, 

 which seldom either makes an incon-ect statement or indorses 

 one, has fallen into the same error. It is no part of a judge's 

 duty to either consult or inform owners or exhibitors. In 

 ignoring Mr. Heath's letter the judges simply pei-formed their 

 dutj"", and instead of being consiu-ed should be commended. 

 A judge would be justihed in not speakiag with exhibitors or 

 owners at either held trials or dog shows. Their business is 

 not his; in fact he is not supposed to be acquainted ■with dogs 

 or their owners. 



Rumor said a flush had been entered against Graphic. Mr. 

 Heath's com-se was pei-fectly clear. He should have asked 

 the secretary of the club if there was truth in the report. The 

 secretary— I am aware that owing to unforseen circumstances 

 he also was a judge— should have consulted the judges and 

 communicated the result of his inquiry to Mr. Heath. If it 

 was found that a flush really had been scored against Graphic, 

 Mr. Heath, his handler and any witnesses he may have had, 

 should have stated to the secretary what they had seen, and 

 it would then have become the latter's duty to have placed 

 the case before the judges. If their decision proved to be 

 final, Mr. Heath would have been justified in withdrawing 

 his dog— supposing him to have been satisfied ia his own mind 

 that the judges' decision was imjust. Was this course fol- 

 lowed by Mr. Heath? That is the question. Mr. Anthony 

 says it was not, and if he has stated facts there is not just 

 cause for discussion. Chas. H- Mason. 



Bay RmoE, L. I., Dec. 14, 1885. 



Editor Forest and St^-eam: 



Since writing my letter of the 14th inst. I have learned on 

 unquestionable authority that Messrs. Donner and Coster 

 owed their appointment as judges at High Point to the unan- 

 imous voice of ownei's and handlers who were present. I al.so 

 have been informed that one of the judges (Mr. Donner) de- 

 clined at first to officiate, and was induced to reconsider his 

 decision only at the earnest soUcitation of the handlers. Mr. 

 TaUman left home vested with carte blanche to act as he 

 might deem advisable and best, and a vote cast by him in 

 favor of any judge would be as much mine as his. Such being 

 the case, any and all statements, vei-bal or wi-itten, that 

 have been made by me against Messrs. Donner and Coster's 

 acceptance of the judgeship are hereby most cheerfully with- 

 drawn. If Mr. Anthony was aware of these facts at the time 

 of writing his letters to your jiaper, his conduct is unsports- 

 manlike, imgenerous and unjust, and is desei-ving of very 

 severe censure. Charles H. Mason.

 plates and that we shg,ll soon have q. splendid series of Field 

 Trial s^em§. 



THE NATIONAL FIELD TRIALS. 



[From a Special Correspondent.] 



THE seventh annual field trials of the National Field Trials 

 Club commenced here to-day, with twenty starters in 

 the AU-Aged Stake. There was an unusually large attend- 

 ance of sportsmen from a distance, many coming who had 

 not attended previous trials. The judges selected were Messrs. 

 Joseph H. Dew, of Columbia, Tenn., F. I. Stone, of Chata- 

 nooga, Tenn., E. C. Sterhng, of St. Louis. Mo., and E. F. Stod- 

 da,rd, of Dayton, O. Messrs. Sterling and Stoddard were not 

 present, and Mr. W. A. Coster was chosen to act in both AU- 

 Aged and Derby stakes. 



Monday the day was clear and cold in the moraing, with a 

 raw wind blowing from the east. In the afternoon the sun 

 shone pleasantly and there was not quite so much wind. 



BADEN BADEN AND MAIN.SPRING. 



The firet brace down was Baden Baden, a liver, white and 

 tan English setter dog (Lincoln— Blaze), handled by Blhson, 

 and J. P. Perkins' liver and white pointer dog MainspiTiig 

 (Mike— Romp), handled by Capt. McMurdo. They were cast off 

 in the open at 8:35. Both dogs showed fair style. Going into 

 a plat of sedge grass Mainspring false pointed. Moving on to 

 order across some corn and into the woods he again came to 

 a point, and was backed by Baden Baden. Going on, Baden 

 Baden pointed a single bird. Then Mainspring whirled to a 

 point and was backed by Baden Baden. McMurdo killed, and 

 the bird was well retrieved by Mainspring. Then in a brier 

 patch Baden pointed and was backed tav Mainspring. Gomg 

 into the woods Baden pointed again. The handlers and dogs 

 then got separated. Baden pointed and Ellison shot, but 

 failed to kill. Then Baden pointed agam, and held his point 

 for some time for the judges to come up, and when his han- 

 dler was allowed to put up the bird it did not materialize. 

 The dogs were then ordered up and the heat given to Baden 

 at 9:30. Down fifty-five mintites. 



BELLE OF rXEDMONT AND LILUlAN. 



At 9:.35 Mr. Edward Dexter's black, white and tan English 

 setter bitch Belle (* Piedmont (Dashing Rover— Rauee) , han- 

 dled by Capt. McMurdo, and P. H. & D. Bryson's black, white 

 and tan English setter bitch Lillian (Gladstone— Sue), handled 

 by Short, were put down in an open field. Both went away 

 at a slashing gait. After drawing the field blank, at the edge 

 of the wood a bevy flushed wild. In the woods Belle false 

 pointed. Going on the judges flu.shed a bevj"^, and the dogs 

 were sent on, and Belle pointed and was handsomely backed 

 by Lillian. A little further on Belle made a false point, then 

 a point on a single bird. Going into a wood Lillian pointed 

 in a brier thicket. Short flushed and killed. To order, Lillian 

 retrieved the bird in good style. In the same wood Belle 

 pointed. Then in the open Lillian came to a point on a single 

 bird. Soon after she pointed again. Then Belle came to a 

 point, followed by a point by Lillian. Short flushed, shot and 

 killed, and the bird was retrieved by Lillian in splendid style. 

 The dogs were then taken up, and after the judges had con- 

 sulted they_ were ordered on again. A large field was drawn 

 blank. Going into a glade Lillian pointed. Then in the 

 woods she pointed again, but the birds could not bs fliished ; 

 but five birds were afterward gotten up by spectatoi-s from 

 near the same place. In the woods beyond Belle pointed. 

 They were then ordered up, and Belle to be allowed opportu- 

 nity to reti-ieve before awarding her the heat. Taken up at 

 11 :50. Down two hours and fifteen minutes. 



COTTNT NUTT AND JUNO A. 



Dr. Edward von Dunhoff's red Irish setter Coimt Nutt (Rob 

 — Babe), handled by owner, and Memphis & A vent Kennels' 

 black and white Enghsh setter bitch Juno A. (Druid— Ruby), 

 handled by Avent, were cast off in sedge grass at 11:.5.5. Juno 

 showed the better pace and style. They drew south tlii-ough 

 the sedge into a cornfield, then swung round toward the east 

 and then north, the wind blowmg .strongly across the field. 

 Going on, Juno was lost and when found was pointing a bevy 

 in a plum thicket. Ayent flushed the bevy and winged a bird 

 which got away in the thicket. Cotint" then flushed a bird 

 and Jtmo followed suit. Then she di'opped on a single bird, 

 which was flushed and killed by Avent and retrieved sceun- 

 dem artem by Jimo. She then pointed again, the bird was 

 flushed, but not shot at. The brace was ordered up at 12;30 

 and Juno A. wins the heat. Down twenty- five minutes. 



BeUe of Piedmont was then put dowTi to be allowed an op- 

 portunity of retrieving. Bird found, flushed and missed by 

 handler. Then another was missed twice. Short then tried 

 his hand a couple of times without getting a feather. A bird 

 was then thrown, a gun fired, and the bitch allowed to 

 retrieve, which she did in good form and won her heat. 



QUEEN BESS AND REBEL WIND'BM. 



An adjournment was then made for lunch, after which the 

 Enghsh setter bitch Queen Bess (Gladstone— Donna J.), han- 

 dled by Nesbit, and Memphis & Avent Kennels' black and 

 white Enghsh setter Rebel Wind'em (Count Wind'em— Norah), 

 handled by Avent, were cast off in a cotton field at 1:15. 

 Rebel was imported by Mr. -J. C. Higgins. He is still a httle 

 lame by reason of having one of his toes broken, and has been 

 able for the past six weeks to do but little work. He is a 

 grand dog; a nice, smooth, easy goer; quarters and ranges 

 well; is staiinch on his points, prompt and obedient. The 

 bitch is nice, moderately fast and stylish. They got away in 

 good shape, and soon after starting Ptobel made a point, but 

 moved on, a.nd Avent coming up, flushed a large, scattered 

 bevy behind the dog. The birds were marked down near a 

 garden and the dogs sent on. Coming up, both dogs flushed. 

 Rebel then pointed a bird thi-ough a thick hois d'arc hedge, 

 the bird was flushed, but could not be shot at. He then 

 pointed another bird through the same hedge. Bess then 

 pointed a single bu-d, which was shot by Nesbit. The bird 

 fell near Rebel and both dogs broke shot and made a run for it. 

 The dogs were then put into a garden in short grass, where 

 Rebel flushed down wind and then made another flush with 

 the wind in his favor. Going into the woods, he found and 

 pointed a bevy, and was backed by the bitch in gi-and fonn. 

 The birds flushed before the handlers got up and were not 

 shot at. They flew over a hill and could not be marked 

 down, and were not found again. A cornfield and strip of 

 woods were then drawn blank, and in a field beyond Avent 

 walked up a large bevy in a strip of crab grass. The birds 

 went down in some thick switch cane and briei-s along a ditch, 

 where a single bird was pointed by Rebel, the bitch backing 

 Mm. He pointed soon after in sedge gi-ass on the edge of 

 cane, where Avent shot and killed, but the bird could not be 

 retrieved from the thick brush. The dogs were then ordered 

 up at 3.15 and Rebel Wind'em declared the winner. Down 

 one hour. 



GLADSTONE'S SOY AND BOB GATES. 



The next brace down was Dr. Ware's black, white and tan 

 English setter dog Gladstone's Boy (Gladstone— Sue), handled 

 by Tucker, and B. M. Stephenson's black, white and tan Eng- 

 hsh setter dog Bob Gates (Coimt Rapier— Belle of Hatchie), 

 handled by owner. At 2:20 they were sent away in a corn- 

 field. They both got off at a rattling pace, which" hun-ied up 

 everybody. In speed and style they were prettly evenly 

 matched. They ranged well and drew the held blank. In 

 some sedge grass on a hill beyond the field both dogs came to 

 a point on a bevy;, which flushed wild, and was not shot at. 

 Bob going on, pointed a single bird, which was not shot at. 

 Ordered on he pointed again. Stephenson flushed the bird 

 but failed to kill. Then the Boy wMi-led to a point in the 

 leaves. Tucker killed, and to order the bird was retrieved in 

 splendid style. Going down to the edge of a hollow Bob made 

 a magnificent point, tail up and head turned to one side. The 

 Boy backing him from the front in grand form. It was one 

 of the very best points made so far, and the attitudes of both 

 dogs were so striking that an artist, Mr. E, A, Watrous, canje 



up and made a pencil sketch of the dogs. The dogs were held 

 so long for the artist that when Stephenson was ordered to 

 flush tlie bu-d It could not be found. A httle beyond the Boy 

 came to a pomt, but Tucker fafled to kick up a bird. On the 

 edge of a held a Httle further on both dogs pointed down 

 cotton rows ten or fifteen yards apart. Stephenson shot and 

 missed.. The judges gave the Boy a flush. As I saw it one 

 bird hopped up after he had estabUshed his point, and dropped 

 down again a few yards off. Then Bob nointed but the bird 

 could not be got up, although one flushed near the same spot 

 a few minutes afterwai'd. Then on the edge of a wide gully 

 the Boy made a splendid pomt; the bird was flushed but not 

 shot at. A long draw was then made through a cotton and 

 cornfield, and in a strip of sedge grass the Boy found and 

 pointed a bevy; Bob dropped to the same bu-ds a moment 

 afterward. Merriman shot for Stephenson and missed. Tucker 

 also failed to kill. Boli then pointed a single bu'd and Merri- 

 man again scored a goose egg. Crossing a ditch the Boy 

 pointed again, the bird was flushed but not shot at. Bob then 

 picked up a point. The Boy then pointed on the edge of a 

 ditch. Tucker flushed three birds but did not shoot. The 

 judges then ordered the brace up at a:30. Down one hour 

 and ten minut&s. After consultation they ordered the dogs 

 down again at ;3:45. They got oft' as fresh as lark*, and in five 

 minutes Bob had pinned a bevy in the edge of a sorghum patch 

 the Boy coming up backed him in good style. The birds were 

 flushed and missed by Tucker. Ordered on Bob got a point on 

 a single bird. They were then ordered up and Bob Gates de- 

 clared winner of the heat. Down last time fifteen minutes; in 

 all one hour and twenty-five minutes. Taking into consider- 

 ation the age of Bob Gates, who is a Derby entry. thi.=! was one 

 of the vei-y finest heats in the history of field trials. 



BESSIE A. AND GUS BONDHU. 



Bessie A., a lemon and white English setter bitch (Dashinn- 

 Lion— Ai-mida), handled by Avent, and Gus Bondhu, black 

 and Avhite Enghsh setter dog (Dashing Bondhu— Kovel), 

 handled by Tucker, were cast off after the previous brace 

 were taken up, at 4 o'clock. They drew a cornfield, a large 

 stubble and some woods blank. They were then put over a 

 wire fence in a meadow aod woodland, where Bessie soon 

 found two bevies. Avent flashed and killed, and to order 

 Bes,sie retrieved nicely. Gus then pointed a single bird and 

 was backed by Bessie in good style. Night coming on they were 

 taken up at 5 o'clock to be put down next day. 



Friday it was cloudy with high wind fi-om the southeast, 

 with occasional dashes of rain. The same brace was put down 

 on the Himt farm, four miles north of town, at 9 o'clock in 

 the edge of a sedge field. The spectators immediately flushed 

 a large bevy, which settled on a hillside in scrub oaks. Going 

 after these Gus flushed the whole lot down wind. They flew 

 into a sedge field where Gus soon scored a point on a bird, fol- 

 lowed by another, followed by one for Bessie, who soon 

 dropped on another. Avent flushed, but failed to kill. Then 

 Gus got a point and Tucker missed his bird. Going on in the 

 grass Bessie scored a point, Avent flushed the bird and fired 

 his gim into the air. Going into some bushes, Gus got a point 

 from which Tucker kicked up three birds, but did not shoot. 

 In the edge of some brush Bessie pointed a bird that was 

 flushed, but not shot at. The dogs were then ordered up at 

 9 :25 and Gus Bondhu declared the winner. Down twenty- 

 five minutes. A dash of rain came on at the finish and the 

 crowd took refuge in a cabin. 



LADY C. AND SPORT.SMAJ!f. 



At 9:40 B. M. Stephenson's black, white and tan English set- 

 ter bitch Lady C. (Coleman's London— Belle of Hatchie), han- 

 dled by ovraer, and Major Murnan's black, white and tan 

 English setter dog Sportsman (Gladstone— Sue) , handled by 

 Tucker, were cast off in an open field. Both went away at a 

 good pace through the sedge grass. Lady C, soon disappeared 

 and when found was down flat on a point. The birds were 

 flushed and Stephenson failed to kUl. They went down on a 

 hillside in the sedge where vSportsman found and pointed a 

 single bird and wa^ backed by Lady. Going on Lady pointed 

 a bird, then Sportsman scored a flush. Going back into a 

 coi-nfield the dogs got out of sight, and whenfoimd both were 

 down on a point. Tucker flushed the bevy, shot and killed 

 and the bird was retrieved by Spoi-tsman in fine style. The 

 scattered birds went down in the scrub oaks, where Lady 

 picked up two points in quick succession and Sportsman got 

 one. Going out into the sedge Sportsman pointed another 

 bird that was flushed but not shot at. In briers Sportsman 

 drew to a point backed by Lady C. in ^rand form, but Tucker 

 failed to get up a bird before him. Then Lady made a point 

 in some bi-ush and was backed by Sportsman. Then he 

 scored another point in some weeds and gi'ass. Going on 

 Sportsman pointed a bevy in sedge grass. The bu-ds were 

 flushed but not shot at. They then went down over a wide 

 guUy, impassable for horses, and the judges went across on 

 foot. In the sedge Lady pointed a single. Then Sportsman 

 false pointed. Commg back Lady flushed a smgle bird and 

 dropped to wing; then on the edge of a pond she pointed a 

 single bird and was backed by Sportsman. The bird was 

 flushed but not shot at. Gk)ing on in the grass she whirled on 

 a sudden point, her handler flushed and shot the bhd, which 

 she retrieved iu splendid style. They were then ordered up at 

 11 :1U. Down one hour and thuty minutes. After consultation 

 the judges ordered them down again. They got awav as be- 

 fore, the bitch going a little faster than the dog. A large 

 bevy was flushed by the judges in a locust thicket and marked 

 down in the sedge grass along the border of a swale. Sent 

 into the grass Lady dropped on a smgle bird and dropped to 

 wing. Moving on through the brush and weeds Spoi tsman 

 made a point. The bird was flushed but not shot at. Then 

 Lady, a httle further on, dropped to a point, the bird getting 

 up several seconds after she had established her position and 

 was down, flat and motionless. The judges did not allow her 

 this point, but she was certainly entitled to it. The brace 

 was then ordered up and Lady C. declared the winner. Down 

 the last time thirty minutes. 



RICHMOND AND GATH'S MARK. 



Mr, Mackhn's black, white and tan English setter dogGath's 

 Mark (Gath— Gem) handled by Tucker, and J. E. Gill's lemon 

 and white pointer dog Richmond (Don— Beulah), handled by 

 Short, were cast oft' in the sedge at 11:.56. They got away in 

 fair style, the setter having a little the advantage in speed. 

 In the edge of some high grass Richmond drew to a stylish 

 point, and was handsomely backed by Gath's Mark. Short 

 flushed the bevy and fired both barrels but failed to kill. Both 

 dogs were steady. Ordered on Richmond soon pointed again. 

 Short flushed three birds fi-om before him, two of wliich he 

 knocked down and Richmond retrieved each bird in good 

 style. Going on into some low, thick grass, Gath's Mark 

 flushed a bird. Then he made an undecided point on a bird 

 that flushed some distance ahead of him. He then, in the 

 edge of some woods, drew to a point, but no birds could be 

 flushed before him, although he alternatelv drew and pointed 

 all around for five minutes. Going around outside the woods 

 a large bevy was flushed by a spectator. Part of them went 

 into some hog-weeds along a ditch. Here Richmond ran up 

 one, and then Gath's Mark pointed, Tucker flushed, killed and 

 the bird was weU retrieved. Going on, Gath's Mark pinned 

 another single which was flushed but not shot at. in the 

 edge of the woods Richmond came on and pointed part of the 

 same bevy. Short shot and missed. Then each dog got a 

 point on single birds. The dogs were then ordered up at 12:50 

 and Gath's Mark awarded the heat. Down fifty-five minutes. 

 Recess was then taken for lunch. 



trinket's BANG AND AMERICAN DAN. 



At 1:10 Mr. Titterington's liver and white pointei- dog 

 Trinket's Bang (Croxteth— Trinket), handled by Nesbit. and 

 Mr. House's wnite and tan Enghsh settei- dog American Dan 

 (Lincoln— Daisy Dean), handled by Short, were put down in 

 a CQtton field. Dan w^s but a shadow of lus f Qrni.er self aax^
