has been demonstrated that the fry can live in these fresh 

 waters it remains to be seen if the proper conditions for 

 reaching maturity prevail in Great Salt Lake, whose waters 

 are. so dense that but little animal life is found in them, 

 and if the shad can breathe the waters, and find food m the 



brine-shrimp, it will be a grand thing for Utah. 



Perhaps there maybe favorable conditions for shad growth 

 near the fresher waters, where the Jordan and other streams 

 come in, without the necessity of going into the heavy brine 

 of the great lake, and if so, we may look for the first run of 

 spawning shad in 1890, although young males may be 

 captured the year before. This experiment is a very interest- 

 ing one, and if the fish thrive will prove to be a most valu- 

 able one.

[.Special Report to Forest and Stream.] 

 THE DERBY. 



WEST POINT, Miss., Dec. 13.— This stake had fifteen 

 starters. The running began on Monday, Dec 10. A 

 heavy rain fell on Sunday night. Monday forenoon was 

 cloudy, but the weather cleared up in the afternoon. A raw 

 wind blew from the northwest. The grounds were excellent 

 for field trial purposes: large open plantations, with gently 

 sloping hills and hollows, and abundant cover for the birds"; 

 in fact, the cover was too rank and abundant. The heavy 

 fall rains had stimulated vegetation, resulting in an 

 unusual heavy growth of sedge grass, weeds and other cover. 

 Birds were fairly plentiful. The judges were Messrs. J. H. 

 Gilbert, Lexington, Ky.; H. B. Duryea and R. L. McCook, 

 New York. The winners were accorded their places in the 

 opinions of the competitors, but there was some dissatis- 

 faction at the decisions being rendered on light work and 

 short heats. A great deal of local interest was manifested 

 in the running. The grounds were magnificent and ample 

 for all the purposes of Tunning a large trial. The dogs were 

 drawn to run as follows: 



Daisy Hope (R. M. Dudley), lemon and white bitch 

 (Gath's Hope— Daisy F,), 



against 



Betty (Memphis and Avent Kennels), black, white and 

 tan bitch (Roderigo— Bo-Peep). 



Zach (I. Yearsley, Jr.), black, white and tan dog (Rov 

 Bell III.— Fraud), * \™>y 



against 



Wee Daisy (W. A. Wheatley), white, blue and ticked 

 bitch (Gath's Mark— Daisy). 



Lottie C. (J. I. Case, Jr.), orange and white bitch (Kins' 

 Noble— Queen Vashti), 



against 



Daisy Fisher (H. S. Bevan), orange and white bitch, 

 (Gath's Hope— Daisy F.). 



Mary Meade (W. A. Wheatley), white and orange bitch 

 (Bun Roy— Durant's Florence), 



against 



Orlando (Memphis and Avent Kennels), black, white 

 and tan dog (Roderigo— Bo-Peepj. 



Rod's GAL (W. B. Stafford), liver and white bitch (Rod- 

 Juno), 



against 



Count Piedmont (Edward Dexter), black, white and tan 

 dog (Count Noble— Belle of Piedmont). 



Cecil (Memphis and Avent Kennels), black, white and 

 tan dog (Roderigo— Bo-Peep), 



• against 

 Sonny (W. B. Stafford), liver and white- dog (Rod— Belle). 



Flossie Noble (J. H. Peeble), lemon belton bitch (King 

 Noble— Elsie Belton), 

 n against 



Roi D'Or (Memphis and Avent Kennels), black, white 

 and tan dog (Roderigo— Bo-Peep).

BETTY AND DAISY HOPE. 



e^nf a ^J! aS m ., ade on t J ie Crura P Place, about one mile 

 east ot town, Theground was heavy under foot. The cold 



rain had made the birds wild and uncertain for a dog to 

 point. The dogs were cast off in open sedge at 9.35. H. S. 

 Bevan handled Daisy; J. M. Avent handled Betty. Daisy 

 ranged well, having a decided advantage over Betty in this 

 respect, taking her casts with judgment. She was very dis- 

 obedient and a bit unsteady in her work on birds. Betty 

 had the better style; she also showed more skill and pre- 

 cision in her work on birds, and was steadier on back and 

 point. Each showed want of proper training. They were 

 ordered up at 11:02 and Betty won. 



ZACH AND WEE DAISY. 



The former was handled by W. C. Avery; the latter by T. 

 H. Poindexter. A bevy was marked down in sedge grass by 

 the spectators and the dogs were worked to find it. Wee 

 Daisy was first to point it in a plum thicket; Zach backed 

 well. Both were steady to wing and shot. On the scattered 

 birds Wee Daisy made a good point on a single in sedge 

 grass. Both dogs were nicely broken and were handled 

 quietly without scrambling. The handlers were compara- 

 tively amateurs so far as field trial handling is concerned, 

 but many of the oldsters could take lessons in courtesy and 

 fairness from them. Range and pace were about equal. 

 The heat began at 11:06 and ended at 11:38. Wee Daisy won 

 LOTTIE C. AND DAISY FISHER. 



Lottie C. was handled by Charles Barker; Daisy Fisher by 

 H. S. Bevan. The heat began at 11:40. There was not much 

 difference in range, speed and style. Lottie was quicker and 

 more accurate in her work on birds. Daisy was not so obe- 

 dient as she should be to handle easily and without un- 

 necessary noise. The heat ended at 11:58, Lottie C. the 

 winner. 



ORLANDO AND MARY MEADE. 



J. M. Avent handled Orlando; T. H. Poindexter handled 

 Mary Meade, The heat began at 12:06 and ended at 12:32. 

 There was not much work done on birds. Mary pointed a 

 bevy and was nicely backed by Orlando; both were steady to 

 shot. No find could be made of the scattered birds. A bevy 

 was flushed by the handlers and dogs, all coming on it about 

 the same time. Orlando made a good point on a single 

 bird in oak woods, and was steady to shot. He had the ad- 

 vantage in range and style; pace about equal. Orlando won. 

 Down 26m. The party then went to lunch. 



COUNT PIEDMONT AND ROD'S GAL. 



The heat began at 1:38. Capt. C._E. McMurdo handled 

 Count; W. B. Stafford handled Rod's Gal. Couut was first 

 to find and point a bevy; Gal pointed a few yards behind on 

 the foot scent or possibly the body scent, as she had the wind 

 from the birds. Both were steady to shot. On the scattered 

 birds Couut roaded and pointed, and Gal backed well; both 

 were steady to shot and wing. Sent on, Gal made a false 

 point; Count backed. At 21:03 they were ordered un and 

 Couut won. Both ranged well, Count slightly better. 

 CECIL AND ROD'S SON. 



The former was handled by J. M. Avent; the latter by W. 

 B. Stafford. Owing to some misunderstanding of directions 

 or forgetfulness the wagons got separated from the judges, 

 and quite a delay occurred in getting the next brace started. 

 Neither did their work with accuracy. Son flushed a single 

 bird in sedge grass. Cecil roaded and pointed a single bird; 

 be was steady to shot. Next he flushed three or four outly- 

 ing birds of a bevy, and stood to wing; the remainder of the 

 bevy then flushed wild. Cecil secured a good point on three 

 or four of them. Sou, brought up to back, caught scent and 

 pointed. Both made some errors on the remaining birds. 

 Down 54m. Cecil won. He had better style, and slightly 

 better range and speed; his work on birds was better than 

 that of Rod's Son. 



ROI D'OR AN J) FLOSSIE NOBLE. 



did not see him, although she passed close to him, and 

 going down wind flushed the bevy. Moved on, Roi made a 

 flush. He made a point on several birds and was steady to 

 shot; the heat then ended. Down 49m. The heat began at 

 3:31 aud ended at 4:24, Roi had the superior pace and style. 

 Tenuie had the bye. 



The running of the first series resulted as follows: 



Betty beat Daisy Hope. 



Wee Daisy beat Zach. 



Lottie C. beat Daisy Fisher. 



Orlando beat Mary Meade. 



Count Piedmont beat Rod's Gal. 



Cecil beat Rod's Son. 



Roi D'Or boat Flossie Noble. 



Tennie a bye. 



Second Series. 



BETTY AND TENNIE. 



The heat began at 4:37, and the does were ordered up at 

 5:06 without any birds being fouud. Tennie was handled by 

 W. B. Stafford. Tuesday morning was cloudy and damp 

 until about 10 o'clock, when the weather cleared and the re- 

 mainder of the day was pleasant. The running began at 8:58 

 with the unfinished heat of the previous day. Tenuie, not 

 having the wind right, flushed a bevy in sedge grass. Work- 

 ing on the scattered birds, Teunie drew nicely to a point on 

 a single bird; Betty backed. Both were steady to shot, 

 Tennie soon secured another point on a single bird and was 

 steady to wing. Moved on. Both pointed, about 80yds. 

 apart, in sedge grass. Several birds were flushed to Tennie's 

 point and a bevy to Betty's. The heat ended at 9:21. Betty 

 won. She had but slight advantage in rauge or speed. Her 

 style in motion was better: both had good style on point. 

 ORLANDO AND WEE DAISY. 



They were started at 9:26. Orlando showed a decided supe- 

 rority in pace, range aud style. Both were steady to shot 

 and wing, and pointed well. The heatended at 9:37. Orlando 

 won. 



CECIL AND LOTTIE C. 



The heat began at 9:42. Lottie showed a. disposition to 

 false-point at frequent intervals; she backed with an air of 

 indifference. Both were steady to shot and wing. Lottie did not 

 show the accuracy in pointing or quickness in locating that 

 her competitor did. The speed and range of Cecil, although 

 not very superior, were the better. - He won. Time 10:50. 

 ROI D'OR AND COUNT PIEDMONT. 



The heat began at 10:55. Roi showed superior capabilities 

 in finding and locating, pointing two bevies and two single 

 birds, and made two flushes. Count backed well and ranged 

 m a superior manner. Roi had better speed and style. He 

 won. Time 11:49. The party then took lunch. The second

Orlando beat Wee Daisy. 



Cecil beat Lottie C. 



Roi D'Or beat Count Piedmont.

 the Memphis and Avent Kennels. The heat began at 12-49 

 and ended at 1:23. Betty had better range and a trifle ad- 

 vantage m uniform speed. The style was about equal. Or- 

 lando showed fewer errors in his work on birds, and did 

 more finding, and won, 



ROI D'OR AND CECIL, 



satisfied as to their relative merits. The third series had 

 the following results: 



Orlando beat Betty. 



Roi D'Or beat Cecil. 



Final for Mrst Place. 



ORLANDO AND ROI D'OR. 

 They were started at 1:51. Roi pointed a bevy in a clump 

 of plum bushes; Orlando backed well: both were steady to 

 shot. Each made a good point on single birds. Orlando 

 was a little unsteady to shot. Roi next made two flushes. 

 Orlando was better in speed, range and style, and showed 

 more accuracy in his work. He won at 2:14. 



Ties for Second Place. 



BETTY AND ROI D'OR. 



They were started at 2:26. Both showed good work inter- 

 mixed with some errors. Roi pointed a bevy in sedee, Betty 

 pointed at the same time, a short distance away, and was a 

 little unsteady to wing. Roi made a point on* some of the 

 remaining birds ahdHetty backed. On the scattered birds 

 Betty flushed one and again was unsteady slightly. Roi 

 flushed a single. Betty had the better style on point, some 

 better range and greater quickness in her work on birds. 

 The heat ended at 3 P. M. and Betty won. Roi D'Or was

 clouded up and rain threatened toward night. A light wind 

 blew from the southwest. 



LEBANON AND SACHEM. 

 Luke White handled Lebanon; W. W. Titus handled 

 Sachem. They were cast off at 8:41. The heat was a tiresome 

 one. But little work doue considering the opportunities 

 Three bevies were found; the first two bv the handlers; 

 Sachem pointed the last one. Neither showed superior 

 finding capabilities or special merit. Lebanon had a de- 

 cided advantage in speed and range; style about equal. The 

 heat ended at 9:49. Lebanon won. 



KING'S MARK AND ROGER WILLIAMS. 

 Charles Barker handled the former; Luke White the lat- 

 ter. They were started at 9:48. They roaded and pointed on 

 the trail of a bevy; Mark roaded through the birds out in 

 the open field on the trail of three or four; he pointed one, 

 which Barker killed: Mark retrieved. The rest of the bevy 

 (lushed near where the dogs first pointed, the dogs failing to 

 point them. The scattered birds Avere followed. Roger 

 Hushed a bird which Mark was roading. King's Mark won. 

 Down 20m. There was not much difference in speed or 

 range; Roger had better style on point; King's Mark dropped 

 to his points, therefore his style was inferior. 



OLLIE S. AND CONSOLATION 

 were cast off at 10:32. Luke White handled Consolation; J 

 M. Avent handled Ollie S. The brace went off at a lively 

 pace; both ranged wide and hunted their ground well. Con- 

 solation showed much dash in his range and manner of 

 going. Both worked with judgment. Ollie struck the trail 

 of a bevy which had scattered about feeding. She roaded 

 about rapidly, pointing at times, and finally located and 

 pointed the bevy in Japanese clover. She was steady to 

 shot. The birds were marked down in the open and fol- 

 lowed, Ollie retrieved a bird nicely, which Avent killed to 

 her point. When sent to retrieve she pointed another bird. 

 Several then flushed wild. She pointed twice more on single 

 birds. They were ordered up at 10:56, and Ollie won. Both 

 were fast, wide rangers, and had good style. 



CASSIO AND TIPTON. 



Cassio was handled by J. M. Avent; Tipton by T. H. 

 Poindexter. Tipton showed a good nose and did some very 

 good work on scattered birds. While going across wind he 

 flushed several birds and did not show proper steadiness to 

 wing. Cassio made two points on single birds and retrived 

 well. Both had good style in ranging and good speed. Their 

 range was nearly alike. Up at 11:32. Cassio won. 



CINCH AND LORD GRAPHIC. 



Cinch was handled by J. M. Avent, W. W. Titus handled 

 Lord Graphic. The heat began at 11:35. At the end of 41m. 

 they were ordered up and the party went to lunch. Nothing 

 was found in the meantime. The heat was resumed at 12:42, 

 Each made a false point. A bevy was marked down in oak
