Owing to delay only one heat could be decided. To ex- 

 pedite matters Col. B. Ridgway was selected to judge 

 one brace, Cassino Gladstone and Knob, while C. J. Peshall 

 took Volley and JNiollie Bjiwii to a different locality. Neither 

 of the heafiS have been decided. Volley nnd Mollie Ba\^m 

 were ordered up after being down one hour, no bii-ds being 

 found. Darkness interfered with Mr. Ridgway's pair. 

 Grouse and Creole, being ordered down hy Mr. Peshall, ran 

 a canital heat, both doing excellent work. Creole, handled 

 by T. Predmore, and Grouse hy Sbewbrook. Down, one and 

 a^half hour; heat awarded to Grouse. The trials were opened 

 by the All- Aged Stakes. The club is well represented by 20 

 members. 



SECOND DAY. 

 Fredeeica, Del., Nov. 16.— No good work was done yester- 

 terday, but the results of to-day's mnning were much more 

 satisfactory. The day was delightful and an early start was 

 made, the party leaving the Delaware House before 8 

 o'clock. 



vollet and mollie baavn. 



Mr. C. J. Peshall, judge for Mr. Ridgway's Volley and 

 Mr. Thompson's Mollie Bawn, were the fii-st brace put down 

 to decide the unfinished heat of yesterday. It was nearly 

 an hour before birds were found in some scrub oaks. Here 

 Volley pointed false and Mollie backed. Soon after Mollie, 

 who was not under good control, flushed a bevy, and a little 

 later Volley pointed' and Mollie refused to back, passed him 

 and flushed. Tlie heat was given to Volley, 



CASSINO GLADSTONE AND KNOB. 



Colonel Ridgway Avas chosen to judge this brace^ aaid a 

 long walk was'h ad before birds were found. Knob failed to 

 do an^i:liing and declined to back, while Cass made several 

 point.s and easily won the heat. 



VICTOR I A AND WEE CLARA. 



Mr. Peshall ordered down this brace, and no birds were 

 found until they were sent into a piece of woods where a 

 scattered bevy had taken refuge. Here Victoria pointed and 

 held her point staunchly while Clara was called up to back. 

 This she did, but not until she was close to Victoria. The 

 birds were flushed and two killed, which Victoria retrieved 

 in good style, thus winning the heat. 



LEIGH DOANE II. AND BRUCE. 



Mr. Child's Leigh Doane II. and Bruce were judged by 

 Mr. Percy C. Ohl. Leigh was the first to find and pointed 

 nicely. Bruce backed, but not very well. Leigh soon found 

 again and i^ointed, and Bruce drew by her. She then 

 pointed again and a bird Avas killed which she retrieved very 

 nicely, vdnning the heat. 



NELLIE AND JESSIE. 



This brace were not on the ground when called and so did 

 not run. 



Second Scries. 



LEIGH DOANE II. AND VICTORIA. 

 This heat was marked by flushes on the part of each dog, 

 but some good work on scattered birds followed. Vic re- 

 fused to back once. Then she pointed and the bird was 

 killed. Turning toward the hotel for dinner the dogs had a 

 good chance to shoM^ speed and style in the open, and A''ic- 

 toria was far ahead in ranging and style, Avhile Leigh pot- 

 tered. After dinner the heat was continued, Vic mauking a 

 flush and then a point, which was backed by Leigh. After a 

 spin in the open, in which Victoria showed much the most 

 style, they were ordered up and the heat given to her. 



GROUSE AND VOLLET. 



Only one point was made in this heat and that by Grouse, 

 who beat Colonel Ridgway's Volley without diiB.culty. 



CASSINO GLADSTONE AND DAISY 

 were now put do"wn, but before anything was done it became 

 too dark to ran and they were ordered up, to go down again 

 in the morning.

NEWS FROM HIGH POINT. 



NOTHING of importance has transpired during the past 

 week, except that yesterday we had a glorious rain 

 which insures a very favorable condition of affairs for the 

 trials. Messrs. Donner and Gregory, of New York, and Dr. 

 Williams, of Springfield, Mass. , are the only arrivals during 

 the week. Several more are expected in a day or two and by 

 Wednesday there will be quite a crowd. I am taking kindly 

 to my traimng and am doing a fair amount of work, and 

 although 1 have not yet developed the requisite rate of speed 

 necessary for field trial work, I hope, with judicious hand- 

 ling, to start on Thursday in 'first-class form. Until yester- 

 day all my work has been on quail. We have found them 

 more plentiful than I haA^e ever known them to be here, and 

 our sport has been all that we could wish. Yesterday it 

 rained all the morning and although the weather at noon 

 was threatening, seven of us, seduced by wonderful tales of 

 fabulous nujnbers of turkeys, concluded to brave the warring 

 elements and go for them. Taking teams we drove about 

 four miles to the range, and forming our lines in battle 

 array to beat dowTi the creek on each side, we "let .slip the 

 dogs' of war" (which was old Shot) and started through the 

 pines toward the lower end, where we arrived with the loss 

 of only one man. He was soon found, however, but as 

 it was raining cats and dogs we abandoned further 

 turkey hunting and hunted shelter under the spreading 

 pines." Our trees soon began to leak and we sought others, 

 and continuing to change we soon had the entire forest leak- 

 ing like a sieve. As soon as we had become as wet as we 

 could be we started for the teams. It was now raining pitch- 

 forks, but we trudged on serenely confident that no matter 

 what came we could be no worse off outside, and that in any 

 event we were as dry as powder inside. As we came out of 

 the woods we saw a magnificent (I believe that is the word) 

 gobbler. He also saw us, and as some of his family have 

 been known to leave under such conditions, he was in a few 

 brief seconds but a beautiful vision of the past. We stood 

 there spellbound, seven souls with but a single thought, 

 seven hearts that beat as twenty-one. Old Shot, however, 

 did his duty bravely and charged the enemy at his best 

 speed, but nimble steps and frantic yelps failed to make the 

 charge of shot any more effective than those that remained 

 quietly in our guns. Defeated and cast do\vn we formed in 

 line and followed on in the direction he had taken, and soon 

 one division of our forces routed him from the sedge grass 

 and at once opened fire at long range, but notwithstanding 

 their best efforts Ave shall dine upon roast beef to- 

 morrow. Some of us had taken the Avise precaution 

 to bring rubber coats, and it Avas with, deep feelings of 

 satisfaction that we found that not a drop of rain 

 had fallen upon them, as the driver, with a Avisdom that 

 only comes to the gifted, had placed them under an over- 

 coat. To-day, in company Avith Mr. A. E. Smith and Dr. 

 Williams, I haA^e enjoyed the best day among the quail that 

 ever fell to my lot. We drove about seA'en miles to the farm 

 of a gentleman Avho had kindly invited rrs to shoot over his 

 grounds. We had AA'ith us Mr. Smith's Irish dog Birdo and 

 a nine months old pointer owned by Dr. Williams that had 

 only been hrmted one day previously. Birdo is the best Irish 

 dog that I haA-e ever seen afield, and much of his work to- 

 day was of a high order of merit. His tail action Avhen on 

 point that I mentioned last week was lacking, and nearly all 

 his points were quite rigid and stylish. The puppy also 

 covered himself Avith glory and gave flattering promise of 

 future usefulness. We found some fifteen large bevies of 

 fine, strong birds and brought home a fair bag, and better 

 than this, recollections of the glorious day on the stubbles 

 and among the fragrant pines that Avill long live in memory 

 as one of tne most delightful of many delightful days afield.

THE STAFFORD SHOW.— Stafford Springs, Conn., Nov 

 15.— Editor Forest and Stream: We are much surprised at 

 the complaint of August Belmont, Jr., in your paper of Nov. 

 n agains this club. Mr. Belmont's first letter asking for our 

 liremium list, etc., came to us unsolicited. We have never 

 attempted to deceive him in any particular, and Ave would 

 be much pleased to haA^e him hand to the Forest and 

 Stream every letter that he has ever received from any mem- 

 ])er of this club, Avith a request that you state to your readers 

 "fearles.sly" Avhether in your opinion there has been any at- 

 temjjt to '"'deceive," "victimize," etc. We expected that Mr. 

 James Mortimer Avould judge the sporting dogs, but he was 

 obliged to decline on account of the pressure of his OAvn 

 business, and aa^c afterAvard secured the serAdces of Mr. Tall- 

 man. As to the statement that Mr. Tallman remarked 

 vfhen he judged the dogs "that he knew nothing about fox- 

 terriers," we find upon inquiry that no member of this club 

 ever heard him make any such statement, but on the con- 

 trary, when he finished Ms judging, he stated plainly to all 

 present, that if any person desired to take any exception to 

 his aAA'ards, he Avas Avilling that they should appeal to any 

 competent judge to say Avhether he AA-as right in his decision, 

 but no appeal AA'as taken. It Avas not for this club to ask 

 the judge to award the premiums against his own judg- 

 ment, and Ave have never done it under any circumstances, 

 for it is our intention to giA^e equal and exact judgment to 

 all, Avhether rich or poor. We made all of our arrangements 

 to get out a printed list of entries, but as the time of closing 

 the entries Avas only three days before the bench shoAv, avb 

 Avere unable to do it. Mr. Belmont's oaati entries Avere not 

 received until the day before the show. The tent Avas a 

 large and serviceable one, free from all rents (as per affidavit 

 inclosed), and being closed at night, Avas Avarm and com- 

 fortable; in fact, many of the owners of dogs preferred the 

 tent to a close building, for that season of the year, and we 

 have yet to hear of a .single dog that has suffered in any way 

 from the expo-sure. We have contracted for a building, to 

 be finished before the next season, Avhich for conA^enience 

 and comfort Avill not be excelled by any in the country, but 

 Ave shall not even then be able to promise first premiums to 

 every exhibitor, neither do we expect to hold a bench shoAv 

 Avhen there will not be some "kickers. "—St afford Kent^el 

 Club.
