*No opportunity. 



JeH and Dave had no record taken, Ruby was mtbdrawn. 



Lunch was taken in al fresco fashion, ha%'ing been brought 

 to the south side of the island by Superintendent Lecompte. 

 A few words in praise of that gentleman and his methods. 

 There are some fifty canines to care for, 35 of them to be 

 broken and hunted, so that his position is an-\^hing but a 

 sinecure. At the kennels everything is found in "capital 

 order, and the running of the different animals in the trials 

 speaks volumes as to his success as a trainer. When it is 

 considered the mles of the club require each member to 

 handle his dog, some of these members seeing their dogs for 

 the first time this season at the trials, it is a subject of avou- 

 der that the dogs cut out such work as they did. 



THE DERBY. 



DON DOKALD AKD NED. 



Ned was an entirely different animal from what he had 

 been in the morning. His wild spin of the forenoon had 

 sobered him down, and he showed work of the first order, 

 such work as has never been beaten in any Derby. Had his 

 owner only known the dog, and the dog him, his record 

 would have been wonderful . As it is. he is one of the best 

 the writer ever saw. Cut loose at half -past 2 and hunting 

 north, each ranged and quartered well, but Ned outstyling 

 and outfooting the pointer. The setter soon established a 

 point near the south end and stood well and firmly. Don 

 called up to back, refused. Ordered to flush, handlers found 

 nothing. On again for a dozen rods in westerly direction, 

 when ]Sed again located birds. Don again refused to back^ 

 roading iip and taking scent himself. Bird flushed, boti 

 dogs steady to wing. Dogs ordered up at 3:10. 



OISEAU AND DIPLOMAT. 



This was a long and weary run. The puppies appeared to 

 lack fire and ran about aimlessly, pajang but little atten- 

 tion to their new handlers. A move m northerly direction 

 across the whole island at its east side. When nearing the 

 upper side both dogs ran past a big bevy -which flushed 

 wildly as the judges came along, right behind the dogs. A 

 turn was then made and the island again crossed, this time 

 in westerly direction. Scarce out of the woods on that side, 

 Oiseau pomted nicelv, but broke her point, moved on and 

 flushed her birds, half dropping to wing as they rose. Dip- 

 lomat refusing to back. Still westerly when a single bird 

 rose wild and both puppies followed in full chase. Ordered 

 up at 4:10, having been down just an hour. 



DICK DONALD AND STILETTO 



showed so little good work, and having not a "ghost of a 

 chance" to win, were taken up after being down ten min- 

 utes. Ned was the winner without argument. 



BRACE STAKES, 

 JOCK ANT) GIFFOKD AND JEFF AND GOUT 

 were let loose in the open rolling country to west of club 

 house and hunted to West Bluff. They had not been down 

 five minutes before Jeff found the birds and pointed. Jock 

 and Gifford backed him beautifully. Jeff, however, left his 

 point and flushed his bird. A move on of only a rod found 

 all four dogs pointing at once, and nearly simultaneou.sly. 

 An immense bevy rose wild and moved for safer quarters. 

 Young Clarence Speir got in a couple of shots and so many 

 birds got up and were so bunched that five quail dropped to 

 the two barrels. For a moment or two there was a confused 

 mass of birds, dogs and men. After the excitement. Gout, 

 the first to recover, went on and found another bird. Jeff 1 

 Jock and Gifford ranged up and all stopped. Nothing 

 prettier was ever seen. Another big bevy was flushed in 

 front of them. All steady to wing. After the flight Gout 

 still held his point till a' couple of birds, alarmed by the 

 noise, rose from almost under his nose. Though crazerl by 

 excitement he was steady as a clock. Soon after Gifford got 

 a solid point, the bird flushing wild while he was standing, 

 Jeff behaved quite badly in this heat when ordered to 

 retrieve. As it was now quite dusk and darkness fast com- 

 ing on the dogs were taken up and a move made for the club 

 house; time, 4:50. 



Thursday morning opened raw and chilly, wind strong from 

 the eastward and threatening rain at any moment. Nine 

 o'clock saw all rurming toward west side of island, where so 

 large a number of birds had been left the night previous. 



PKIDE OF ROBINS ISLAND AND BERKLEY 



were uncoupled and dashed off fast and furiously. Each 

 showed marked improvement over their work on the preced- 

 ing day. Pride insisted upon hunting southwardly despite 

 the demands of Chauncey Marshall, his owner. The d'og knew 

 best, however, and a good quarter of a mile from the "judges 

 f otmd his birds, and stopping well was at once backed in 

 handsome fashion by the red dog. Marshall, who was some 

 waj^ off— the dogs had moved so rapidly— gave Berkley oppor- 

 tunity to give up his back and move along so as to get scent 

 himself. When the handler got up both dogs commenced 

 roading on slowly and carefully. The birds could be seen 

 running directly ahead of the dogs, and a second later flushed 

 wild as hawks. Movmg on. Pride got another point, and 

 Berkley again backed in good form. Birds flushed, fii-ed at 

 and missed. Both dogs thoroughly steady to wing and to 

 shot. A complete turn about and dogs hunted north. Aiter 



Eassing clay pit Pride located birds in patch of bayberry 

 ushes on a hillside, and was backed handsomely by Berli- 

 ley. Roading on, the moving birds broke cover with a rush 

 and a roar. A slight moA^e to the left, and both dogs got on 

 birds at the same moment, standing staunchly. Marshall, 

 ordered to flush, did so, fired and killed. Berk a little un- 

 steady to shot, but stopped at command, Pride dropping to 

 shot. Berkley retrieved nicely when ordered. The bird was 

 thrown for Pride to bring in, which he did in the very best 

 manner. At quarter to two dogs taken up and the last of 

 the braces put down, 



NED AND ROYAL .SULTAN" 

 went south to Devil's Kitchen, crossed through and then 

 around, where Sultan flushed a bird brilliantly. A turn to 

 south, where Ned struck scent, and for a few seconds no one 

 ever saw such a whirl of dog, first head, then tail, until he 

 crouched down with a wounded bird between Ms forefeet 

 and held there by his down pressed nose. His owner and 



handler, S. B, Duryea, picked up the bird which was unhurt 

 by_ the dog. Another turn north, along east edge of the cat- 

 brier thicket. When almost past Sultan made an elegant 

 point, exciting all hands by his graceful and easy position. 

 Ned called to back, refused utterly, ranging up at full speed, 

 passed completely around Sultan and dashing in routed up 

 the close-lying bevy, to the great disgust of his oAvmer. Dogs 

 at once taken up and the trials of 18S6 closed a success in 

 every way^and in consequence a pleasure to all concerned.

KENNEL MANAGEMENT. 



No Notice Taken of Anonymous Corresi>ondent8. 



Thankful.— A cocker .spaniel dog, 13 years, nose on end is sore 

 and has been so for some time; sore came first on one side of nos- 

 tril and then extended all over end of nose and inside of nostril. 

 It appears to be from cold, is white and very moist where scab 

 comes off; wants to scratch his nose on any solid substance and 

 does so until he cries out with pain. Often after i-uns snufiles 

 greatly. Dog lives outside with kennel all .year around. Ans. The 

 trouble is probably due to the chauges incident to old age, malnu- 

 trition, etc. A dog 13 years old is not often healthy. Give Fow- 

 ler's solution of ai-senie five drops morning and evening, and rub 

 balsam of Peru ointment into the sore after cleansing. If the dog 

 becomes a nuisance we would advise you to kill him. 



Nemo, Springfield.— Setter dog has had distemper pretty badly 

 and it has left bim a little weak in hind legs, so that he staggers 

 just a little when running, but is able to do a fair day's work in 

 the field. Is it safe to breed him to a bitch? Will the trouble 

 affect the pups? Ans. We would ad\-ise you not to use your dog 

 for stud purposes until he has entirely recovered. Give a two- 

 grain pill of me citrate of iron and strychnine twice daily. You 

 can conceal the pill in a small bit of meat. It would probably not 

 affect the offspring if you used him now in the stud.

IVIANCHESTER, N. H., Nov. 25.-Tbe riflemen enjoved the day 

 by a competitive prize event at the \S'est M;tnchcster range, and 

 in addition to this a telegraphic team match w.is .slvot with the 

 Lawrence Rifle Club. The conditions for shooting liavo rarely 

 been excelled, the clouded skies, steady light ;incl no wind being 

 just what riflemen ask for when desirous of doing their best and 

 they don't mind a little rain. The match with tnc Lawreucc Club 

 has been on the tapis for months and the Manchester boys distin- 

 guished themselves by ^vinuing a signal victory, althougli without 

 the services of one of their number, A. B. Dodge, who ranks nmong 

 the best shots in New England. There were no particularly- brilli- 

 ant scores made by the riflemen, but their work was uniformly e.x- 

 cellent. The conditions were 10 men to a toam, rounds 10, distance 

 200yds., off-hand. The individual work of the Manchester team ia 

 shown by the following:

 ment of this was left to the next best cards, and it was found that 

 each had a 36, but on going beyond this Mr. Morris had a So, while 

 Mr. Temple's next best card was 34, which gave the ranking in 

 favor of Mr. Morris.
