Following is the result: 

 Go Bang beat Cinch. 

 Joey B. beat Romeo. 

 Ossian a bye. 



Fifth Series. 



OSSIAN AND GO BANG 

 were put down at 4:50, but after a run of five minutes with 

 no work done, they were taken up for the night. Friday 

 morning was balmy and beautiful as oue could wish, but it 

 was too warm for the dogs to show at their best. Three dogs 

 only were left in for first money, two of them pointers. Of 

 the 35 starters 22 were setters, and although in six instances 

 pointer ran against pointer, they much more than held their 

 own in each series, and the pointer men were not a Little 

 elated. The dogs were put down on Friday morning at 8:15 

 in the open fields near the Glass house. ' Both went well, 

 Ossian having the best of it in way of going. He appeared 

 to be off in nose, however, and although he ran a good heat, 

 Bang outworked him from the start. Bang got in the first 

 point to a bevy that Ossian had been near enough to but did 

 not find. Ossian backed the point and both were steady to 

 wing and gun when Buckle put up the birds. Just then 

 the spectators flushed a bevy that flew over still another 

 bevy that rose and all went into the dense scrub thicket 

 near the house. When the dogs were sent in Ossian made an 

 elegant poi nt- in a strip of sedge and Bang backed him in 

 elegant style. The point was probably to old scent as noth- 

 ing was found. We then turned into the thicket, and Ossian 

 was soon on point to foot scent of running birds, as he 

 roaded it out very nicely to where the spectators had just 

 flushed them. Meantime Bang crossed behind him and also 

 struck the scent of a single running bird, and roading it out 

 located it in good style, Buckle flushed it to order. Bang 

 soon had another one fast that Buckle put np, and Bang 

 was steady to wing and gun. The birds were getting uneasy 

 at the noise and several more soon went. A little further on 

 Ossian pinned one, and was steady to wing and gun when 

 Hose put it up and shot. Soon after one flushed near Bang, 

 but the thicket was so dense that we could not see how it 

 was done. Turning toward the edge. Ossian made point, but 

 soon went on and again pointed and began roading in capi- 

 tal style, but he got too close and the bird went. Meantime 

 Bang' also roaded one and located it nicely, Buckle flushing 

 it to order, and the heat was ended with Go Bang the win- 

 ner. Down altogether 31m. 



This ended the fifth series with the following result: 



Go Bang beat Ossian. 



Joey B, a bye. 



Final Tie for First Place. 



JOEY B. AND 60 BANG. 

 These two *ere the last brace left in for first money. They 

 were put down in an open field at 8:59. Both had run 

 through their dogs in good style and had fairly earned their 

 position. Joey had the bene'fit of a bye in the fifth series 

 and had run but four heats, while Bang had run five and 

 had also contended with a better class of dogs than Joey 

 had met. The latter had stolen a hearty breakfast and was 

 not in good condition for long continued work; in fact he 

 let down in speed considerable toward the finish, but his 

 nose appeared to be all right and he did good work to the 

 end. Bang was not quite so speedy as in his other heats, 

 but he went at a good rate and held it well throughout the 

 heat. Joey had the advantage in speed and range and way 

 of going, while Bang was the more stylish on game. When 

 they were cast off we turned down to a ravine, where 

 Bang ran upon one and dropped to wing, and as 

 he went on two more got up near him. Soon after 

 Joey made a point that Bang did not back, but went 

 ahead and roaded a short distance and gave it up. Joey then 

 made a cast and again pointed, but soon went on. We then 

 went to the Field farm, where birds were reported to be 

 abundant. Joey made a cast over a knoll, and, striking 

 scent, was working it back toward us, when Buckel flushed 

 a single, and calling Bang there, he dropped on point just as 

 two or three more went and then the others flushed and 

 went to some woods, taking another bevy with them. Going 

 in the direction of the last bevy, Joey challenged at the 

 fence, but gave it up. Bang, a little beyond, also challenged 

 and commenced roading, but was called off, and shortly after 

 the spectators flushed a large bevy some 50yds. below. Then 

 in the woods each scored a flush and each a point to singles 

 that their handlers put up. We then turned back after the 

 last bevy in the open, and were informed that still another 

 bevy had been flushed and gone to the woods. Following 

 them to the top of a bank at the edge of the woods, Joey 

 flushed one and soon after Buckle put up one that flew close 

 to Bang, and he dropped as if shot. Soon after Joey put up 

 another one, and the dogs were ordered on away from the 

 birds, as it proved, for we found no more of them. Work- 

 ing through some pine woods to an open field, Joey 

 made a nice point, and a second later Bang also pointed 

 some 25yds. below him. Avent said that Bang was backing 

 but just then Buckel flushed a bevy directly in front of his 

 dog andMr. Bergundthal said to Avent, "What do you think 

 now?" This rather took Avent aback, but as another bevy 

 then got up in front of his dog he replied, "What do you 

 think?" Following them Bang made a point to a bird that 

 flushed a second or two later and Bang partly dropped to 

 wing. Joey came up and backed as the judges supposed, but 

 when Bang went on Joey remained rigid and held his posi- 

 tion for some time until Avent went to him. when a brace 

 flushed nearly under his nose. The judges then consulted 

 and they were ordered up and the heat was awarded to Joey 

 B., and he was declared winner of first prize.' Down lh. 

 and 7m. 



Tie for Second Place. 



ROMEO AND WATERFORD. 



The judges selected these two as the best of those beaten by 

 the winner, and they were put down at 10:44 to decide which 

 should run with Go Bang for second money. They were 

 about equal in pace and range, Romeo having the best of it 

 in style; he was off in nose, however, and although he made 

 some good points he scored several flushes. Waterford as in 

 his previous heat ran fairly well and made few mistakes and 

 after a run of 5(5m. he was awarded the heat. 



GO BANG AND WATERFORD. 



This was the last heat and not much interest was manifest 

 as it was a foregone conclusion that the pointer would win if 

 in anything near his form in previous heats. After the heat 

 between Romeo and Waterford, four heats of the All-Aged 

 Setter Stakes were run and the brace was then put down at 

 3:35 to decide second money. Bang was not going so well as 

 he had been, appeared to be a little stale and off in nose. He 

 had a little the best of it however, and at the end of 31 min- 

 utes they were ordered up with Go Bang the winner of the 

 heat and second prize. Waterford ran fairly well although 

 he slowed down somewhat in speed near the finish. Under 

 the rules the judges can select any dogs in the stake for the 

 two third prizes and they decided that Ossian and Waterford 

 were entitled to the places. Although there were several 



and the decision upon the whole was perhaps as fair to all 

 concerned as could have been made. Had Waterford met 

 any one of these dogs in the heats in which they did good 

 work, there is no question that he would have been beaten; 

 but on the other hand, had they met him when they were 

 off, he would undoubtedly have beaten them as he did 

 Romeo, who is unquestionably the better dog when he is all 

 right. Luke White and Mr. Tucker protested the decision 

 upon the ground that the rules had been misapprehended, 



but the Board of Governors very properly refused to sustain 

 the protest. There could be no question that Ossian was 

 clearly entitled to the position awarded him. He did his 

 work well in all of his heats, running close up in his heat 

 with the winner of second. Indeed, we much prefer him to 

 Go Bang, believing that with both at their best, Ossian can 

 both outwork and outlast him. 



Taken altogether, the Derby of 1887 was an improvement 

 upon its predecessors. Although the average quality of the 

 work done was not up to what we expected to see, yet there 

 were quite a number of very promising youngsters brought 

 out that showed natural abilities of a high order. The un- 

 usually dry season in the South prevented the proper amount 

 of preparation in many cases, which will account for the 

 lack of experience apparent. Following is the 

 SUMMARY. 



Eastern Field Trials Derby for 1887, for all setter or pointer 

 puppies whelped on or after Jan. 1, 1886. Four purses: First 

 prize, : $400; second, $200; and two equal thirds of $100 each,

The stake was begun on Friday at 11:41 after first money 

 in the Derby was decided. Five heats were run and to-day 

 eight more were run, finishing the first series and two in the 

 second series. Yesterday the weather was warm and scent 

 was not very good and some of the heats were poor in conse- 

 quence. Some good work was done, however, the heat 

 between Jean Valjean being very good and close. To-day it 

 has been hot and sultry with scarcely a breath of air and the 

 work, as a rule, has been poor and unsatisfactory. Follow- 

 ing is the result of the

High Point, Nov. 28.— The weather was threatening and 

 a little light rain had fallen at daybreak, a start was made, 

 however, and Nat Goodwin and Belle of Piedmont were put 

 down at 8:15 to finish their heat. Capt. McMurdo had sus- 

 tained a serious injury to his right eye from a bush that 

 flew back and he had gone home, Mr. Buckle taking his 

 place in handling Belle. There were several light showers 

 and considerable fog and mist during the forenoon, but at 

 noon the sun came out and the afternoon was fine. Capital 

 progress was made and the stake was finished. Following 

 is the

IMPERIAL CHANCELLOR, the well-known mastiff, 

 whose portrait is given in the last number of the America n 

 Kennel Register, has been imported by Mr. C. C. Marshall, 

 of this city. Imperial Chancellor is by Crown Prince (E.K 

 C.S.B. 10,544) out of Ilford Claudia (12,838). Mr. Marshall 

 writes: "So far as I am able to ascertain, Chancellor is by 

 far the largest and most powerful of the Crown Prince fam- 

 ily. He has the most robust body I ever saw on a dog. In a 

 letter to me, Mr. Wade writes as follows: 'He (Chancellor) 

 is very much larger than any other dog or bitch Crown 

 Prince ever got, and * * * better in hocks than any other 

 Crown Prince dog that ever came over here.' "
