were frequently lost, and when again sighted they 

 would he half a mile away. Both were entirely 

 beyond the control of their handlers a large portion 

 of the time. They could neither hear the whistle nor see the 

 motion of the hand, and appeared to be working their hand- 

 lers instead of the handlers working them. Daisy, a long 

 distance away, did some beautiful work in a cornfield, where 

 a bevy had evideutlv been feeding. Her persistent efforts to 

 find them as she repeatedly cast in different directions were 

 worth going a long distance to see, but the birds had proba- 

 bly been flushed, as she failed to find them. Soon after this 

 we turned up the slope to the edge of some woods, where Bob 

 pointed the remains of a hare that had been eaten by a hawk. 

 As the judges came up, a bevy of birds down yvind some dis- 

 tance away flushed wld and settled in the woods. A point 

 was claimed for Bob, but we were well convinced that he 

 knew nothing of the birds till they rose. Daisy had made a 

 wide cast along the woods out of sight, but Bob was sent 

 directly toAvard the birds, and soon had a point on a bird 

 that his handler flushed and at once ordered Bob on, but as 

 Daisy was not near, he was ordered up and a search was 

 made for her. After getting the dogs together, both hand- 

 lers got on horses and the chase was resumed. After going 

 some distance Bob made a false jioint. Soon after, a 

 bevy was flushed by Mr. Ellison, and the dogs were sent 

 in their direction, but they failed to strike them and the 

 birds were again flushed by the spectators. The dogs were 

 again brought round, and "this time they went in the right 

 direction, and Daisy pointed one that her handler to order 

 flushed. Daisy soon made another point, and as Rose went 

 ahead to flush she drew on the track of the running bird, and 

 Bob came round and stole the point and Stephenson put ui 

 the bird. Daisy when sent on took a few stride^s and nailei 

 another one that Rose to order flu.?hed. They were then 

 ordered up and the heat was awarded to Bob Gates, and he 

 was declared the winner of first iirize. DoAAai two hours and 

 forty- three minutes. This was a long, tiresome heat, with 

 the rain pouring down in torrents most of the time. It was 

 our impression all through the heat that Daisy was doing 

 the best work, and a careful revise of our notes fails to sat- 

 isfy us that she was beaten. This fluished the work for the 

 day. _ 



SATURDAY. 

 Ties for Second Place. 



NIOBE AND EICHMOND. 

 The judges decided that these two were the best of the dogs 

 beaten by the winners, and ordered them to run to decide 

 which should compete with Daisy F. for second place. On 

 Saturdav morning the weather was fhie and good progress 

 was made in the work. The dogs were put down in a corn- 

 field and worked through to some sedge, where Richmond, 

 ranging wide, made a very handsome point to a large bevy 

 and Niobe backed him nicely. Short put up the birds and 

 killed one that Richmond retrieved very well. They were 

 then ordered up and the heat av/arded to" Richmond. " Down 

 eleven minutes. 



Final Tic for Second Place. 



DAISY F. AOT) KICHMOND. 

 Tbis brace was put dovm in sedge at 8:57 to decide the 

 honors of second place. They were nearly equal in speed 

 and style, Daisy having the best of it in range and judg- 

 ment. After a turn in the open they were worked toward 

 the scattered birds of the last bevy. Both cast wide and dis- 

 appeared, and when found Richmond was pointing and 

 Daisy was apparently backing. Short went in to flu.sh but 

 failed to find. The birds had probably run, as a few rods 

 fm-ther on Richmond again pointed but went on and 

 soon gave it up. Daisy made a cast down a gully and 

 turned up in sedge and drew to a handsome point on 

 a bevy. Richmond came up, re fused to back, went on 

 and stole the point. Short put up the birds and the 

 dogs were sent in their direction. Daisy going down a 

 gully whirled on a beautiful point to' a single that 

 Rose flushed to order. Richmond, behind on the bank 

 in some sedge, made a point, and Short, to order, put up the 

 bird. Daisy then ran up out of the gully and drew to point 

 on bare ground, and Richmond, a hundred yards away, 

 backed her in fine .style. Daisy drew on in the sedge and 

 Richmond came up and also pointed and drew on and both 

 gave it up. We then turned back across the gully to some 

 sedge, Daisy made a nice point near some xiines and Rich- 

 mond backed her in his best style. Rose, to order, put up 

 the bird. Richmond soon alter pinned a single at the edge 

 of a ravine that Short put up and missed. We then crossed 

 the ravine, where Richmond made two false points and 

 Daisy pointed a hare. They were then ordered up and the 

 heat was awarded to Daisy P. and she was declared winner 

 of second prize. Down fifty-eight minutes. This was a good 

 heat, many of the points and backs being very gamy and 

 stylish. 



Final for TJiird Place. 



EICHMOND AND LILLIAN. 

 The judges decided that Lillian and Dan Gladstone were 

 the best two that had been beaten by Daisy P., and they 

 were ordered up to decide by running which one should run 

 \\-ith Richmond for third place. Mr. Bryson announced that 

 he and Mr. Short had agreed to divide, one half to go to 

 Richmond and the remainder to be divided equally between 

 Dan and Lillian, but under the rules that coxud not be done 

 and the judges were requested to select one of them without 

 running, and they decided that Lillian was the best of the 

 two. Third prize was then eciually divided between Rich- 

 mond and Lillian, and the stake was finished. Following is 

 the complete

[Special to Forest and Stream.] 

 Grand .Junction, Tenn.. Dec. 31.— The weather has been 

 good to-day. Birds were not found very plentiful, but con- 

 .siderable work was done. In the unfini.shed heat between 

 .Jean Val Jean and Rubicon tlie latter won. Chance beat 

 Keystone. Allie .Tames beat Bun Roy. Bob H. a bye. In 

 the" third series Cassio beat Bob H. Nat Goodwin beat Little

 fourth series Cassio beat Allie James. Rubicon beat Nat

 In the filial tie for second Chance beat Cassio and won sec- 

 ond. Keystone was selected to run against Cassio for third, 

 but it was so late that the heat was postponed until to-mor- 

 row. Some of the heats were very unsatisfactory, being de- 

 cided before much work was done. This was decidedly the 

 case in the final for first place, as but little work was done, 

 Cassio having the best of it. The trials will finish to-mor- 

 row if it does'not rain^ 



[Special to Forest and Stream.] 

 Gkand Junction. Tenn., Dec. 22. — In the Derby Cassio and 

 Keystone divided third. The Champion Stake wtis declared 

 ott' owing to the impossibility of securing a third judge. 



WINSTED DOG SHOW. 



''pHE second annual dog show held at Winsted, Conn., in 

 JL connection with the Western Connecticut Poultry 

 Association, took place on Dec. 15, 16,17. The show was 

 under the management of Mr. P. D. Hallett, who made a 

 most efficient secretary and .superintendent, and saw to the 

 care of the dogs as well as providing a very neat catalogue. 

 The entries numbered 105, and the average quality was a de- 

 cided improvement on that of the show of last year. Mas- 

 tiff's began the catalogue, and in the absence of Ilford Cau- 

 tion, first went to Don II., who occupied the same position 

 last year. Bessie, a graduate from last year's puppy class, 

 was second in this class. The puppies were all of one litter 

 and the property of Messrs. Coflin, Ziramer & Co. St. Ber- 

 nards were poorly represented, Lodi being the only one en- 

 tered. The winning Nevvfoundland is pretty good in coat 

 but weak in head. He won easily. The deerhounds are all 

 well known. Captain Fred had' not a great deal in hand in 

 beating Fritz from the Maple Kennels. They were looking 

 well. "Model Doodle got a double first in the bitch and 



Euppv classes. The setters were not strong classes, the 

 est department, strange to say, being in the black and tans, 

 the wdnners being the well-kiiown Royal Duke and a new 

 bitch to the show bench named Roda. She is likely to be heard 

 of again. The spaniels were good classes, Newton Abbott, 

 much improved and well shown , was in the lar^e class. Helen 

 won the small championship without opposition and Doc 

 not arriving in time for the judging let Nig in for first in 

 the black dog class and special for best cocker. A youngster 

 named Roxy, by Black Pete, was first in both bitch and puppy 

 classes. Slie is good in head and coat and will be the right 

 size. The only new one of consequence in fox-terriers was a 

 good puppy named Mt. Toby Mixture, a son of Mixture, as 

 his name suggests. This is a very promising puppy, a trifle 

 heavy in ears, but just about the best of his sire's get that 

 we have yet seen. Nullamore won in collie dog;s from the 

 very moderate Rex, but was beaten for the special by Glen- 

 livat, who is a puppy of great promise. His dam, Mavis, 

 beat Spoiled Miss for first prize in the bitch class. All four 

 of these winners were out of coat. Robinson Crusoe won the 

 champion prize in bulldogs, but his kennel companion, Hill- 

 side, was put behind Caliban in the dog class on the score of 

 condition. Josephine was alone in the bitch class and was 

 looking well. The bull-terrier championship was taken by 

 Count, who never looked better. The Baron beat a new im- 

 portation. Silver, in the dog class. Rock won in the any- 

 other-brea terriers. He is a Bedlington of more than aver- 

 age quality. The pugs were not a very first-class lot. Young 

 Toby was shown much too fat, while Thunder could have 

 done with some more. Mr. W. Tallman judged setters and 

 pointers and Mr. Jas. Watson the remainder of the clasess.

THE AMERICAN KENNEL CLIJB announces through 

 a committee that it proposes to undertake the publication 

 of a stud book. We are given to understand that the promo- 

 ter of an abortive attempt to publish an "official" book has 

 bequeathed the good will of that unfortunate burden to the 

 club, and now the old experiment is to be tried once more 

 and by new hands. Unhappily past experience has not been 

 of a nature to warrant the public in indulging any anticipa- 

 tion that this attempt will result less disastrously than 

 former ones. It were much to be wished, moreover, that by 

 its actions in far less important matters, the A. K. C. had 

 given ground for confidence that it po.ssesses qualifications 

 essential to the performance of a task of such exacting nature 

 and magnitude as the publication of a stud book.
