FOREST AND STREAM. 



[Nov. 21, 1889. 



find nothing to the point. Later on she pointed a single. 

 Rim hacked; both dogs steady to shot. Passing out of the 

 woods into a stubble field, the judges instructed the hand- 

 lers to work in a notherlv direction. Instead of doing as he 

 was instructed to, Mr. Barker allowed his dog to get away 

 from him and work in the opposite direction. She was 

 soon out of sight, and when found was on a point in corner 

 Of corn field near a ditch. Barker called point; Sim was 

 brought up to back, which he did. Barker failed to find 

 birds to the point. Eeing ordered on the dogs began road- 

 ing. Sim located and pointed a small covey 75yds. east. 

 Rose shot and Sim dropped. The dogs were then taken up 

 at 11:30, and the heat given to Nannie B. I cannot agree 

 with the judges in this decision, as Nannie was clearly out- 

 classed. Sim was positive in his work, and the only mis- 

 take he made was in flushing a single bird in the woods. 

 An adjournment was now taken for lunch. 



TEMPIE CAMBRIDGE AND LILLY BURGES. 



This brace was put down in a stubble field on the Horn 

 farm at 12:45, and immediately went away as if they were 

 trying to catch a jack rabbit. Tern pie soon came to a point, 



pointed twice on rabbits. Going 

 gait, Lilly wheeled into a point, stood a moment, then 

 moved on, the judges coming up, flushed a covey. Being 

 sent on after scattered birds Lilly pointed, but Richards 

 could not find a bird to the point; Tempie flushed a single 

 and dropped to wing. Going into woods Lilly pointed a 

 single, and Tempie backed nicely; both were steady to shot. 

 The dogs were taken up at 1:45 and the heat given to Lilly. 

 In style, range and speed they were evenly matched, but 

 Lilly' had the best judgment on birds. 



DAISY GIRL AND FRANK IE FOLSOM. 

 This brace was put down in a stubble at 1:57. Passing 

 through this field into another of the same kind. Frankie 

 pointed in corner of fence, Daisy backing nicely; Gleason 

 failed to flush. The dogs were sent on into the stubble, 

 where Daisy found and pointed a covey nicely. Frankie 

 backed handsomely, both dogs steady to shot. Being sent 

 on after scattered birds, Daisy soon began roading, con- 

 tinuing until she located a covey one hundred yards away; 

 she was perfectly steady to shot. The dogs were sent on; 

 going down wind Daisy flushed a single, Frankie flushed a 

 covey in edge of briers, and dropped to wing. The birds 

 were followed to woods, where Frankie flushed a single, 

 then she soon false pointed. The dogs were taken up at 

 3:44 and the heat given to Daisy. In style aud bird sense 

 Daisy had the advantage, but in speed and range they were 

 equal. 



Second Series. 



HOPE'S RAY AND NANNIE B. 

 This brace was put down in a stubble at 3:20. Nannie soon 

 located and pointed a covey and was steady to shot. The 

 birds were followed to the woods where Nannie flushed a 

 siugie; she next pointed a single, and was steady to wing. 

 Ray pointed a single on hillside, and was also steady to shot. 

 Nannie further on pointed a single, and Ray backed; both 

 steady to wing. The dogs were taken up and carried to the 

 Horn" farm, where they were put down in a stubble at 3:57. 

 Naunie cpaickly located and pointed a covey; Ray backed; 

 both dogs were steady to shot. They were taken up at 4:05 

 and the" heat awarded to Nannie B. In style Ray had the 

 call. In speed and range they were about equal. 



LILLY BURGES AND DAISY GTBL, 

 This brace was cast off where last brace finished, at 4:10. 

 They soon located a covey, both dogs dropping to the point 

 simultaneously; they were both steady to shot. Being sent 

 on Lilly soon located and pointed another covey, then she 

 pointed a single aud Daisy backed. The dogs were taken up 

 at 4:28, and the heat given to Lilly. In style, range and 

 speed Lilly had the call, decidedly. 



Third Series. 



LILLY BURGES AND NANNIE B. 

 This brace was put down where last brace finished at 4:38, 

 to run for first honors. Lilly soon pointed a single, and 

 Nannie backed, both steady to shot. Passing on, Nannie 

 pointed and Lilly backed; Barker failed to find a bird to 

 the point. They were sent on; Nannie pointed a covey and 

 was very unsteady to wing, being inclined to chase. Going 

 into another stubble Lilly flushed an outlying bird, then 

 pointed the covey; Naunie then flushed a single and pointed 

 the remainder of covey. Going on, Lilly pointed another 

 covey and was steady to wing; passing on both pointed 

 singles; then Nannie flushed a single; then Lilly flushed a 

 single and dropped. Being sent, Lilly quickly got two 

 single points and won. They were taken up at 5:15. Lilly 

 had a decided advantage in style, and showed better judg- 

 ment on birds. In speed they were equal, Lilly having 

 somewhat the greater range. 



Wednesday, Nov. (5. 

 Tliird Series. 



HOPE'S RAY AND DAISY GIRL. 

 This brace was put down in stubble on the Phillippi farm 

 at 8:08, to determine which should run against Nannie B. 

 for second money. Daisy soon pointed larks, and Ray 

 backed; being ordered on she soon pointed, Ray backed; 

 Howse failed to flush to the point. Sent on into high weeds a 

 eovev was seen to flush; when the judges got near enough to 

 see, both dogs were down. They were" ordered on after the 

 scattered birds and got a single point each. Then Ray 

 flushed a single. Daisy false pointed and Ray backed. Ray 

 then pointed a single, the bird flushing wild almost in- 

 stantly; Ray then began roading, and a bird flushed wild 

 30ft. ahead of him. Being sent on, Daisy flushed a covey. 

 Ray pointed a single in briers, and was steady to wing. 

 Passing into pasture, Ray pointed; Rose failed to find his 

 bird. Passing through this pasture into woods, Daisy 

 pointed covey, Ray backed, birds flushed wild. Ray then 

 false pointed. Later on both pointed in cornfield, and were 

 steady to wing. The dogs were now taken out of the corn 

 aud turned down in a weed field to find a fresh covey. Ray 

 soon pointed a single, and was steady to shot, Daisy'flushed 

 a single and dropped. Then both dogs flushed a covey. 

 Passing on, Daisy false pointed. Going into woods where 

 nothing was found, the dogs were turned back into weed 

 field; in the bottom near a ditch Daisy made two false 

 points. The dogs were taken up at 10:38. and the heat given 

 to Hope's Ray. 



Nannie B. having already beaten Hope's Ray, she was de- 

 clared winner of second money and Hope's Ray third.

POINTER DERBY. 

 Preliminary Series. — Conditions same as those of the Set- 

 ter Derby. At the conclusion of the Setter Derby the first 

 brace in the Pointer Derby was called. 



DEVONSHIRE JILT AND THOMASTONE. 

 Mr. J. W. Patterson's liver and white bitch Devonshire 

 Jilt (Fowler — Cherrystone), handled by J. B. Stoddard, and 

 Mr. W. H. Holmes's liver and white dog Thomastone iCor- 

 nerstoue— Firenzi). handled by A. J. Gleason, were put down 

 at 10-50 in a stubble field, which was drawn blank. Crossing 

 a new wheat field, to another stubble, Thomastone located a 

 bevy and pointed handsomely, Jilt backed well, both dogs 

 were steady to shot. Being sent on, Thomastone pointed a 

 rabbit, Jilt pointed, moved and began roading; covey flushed 

 wild, 20yds. ahead. Tom pointed two outlying birds of this 

 covey. The birds were followed to the woods where Tom 

 pointed a single, then moved up and flushed the bird; then 

 Jilt pointed, but moved on after finding her mistake. The 

 dogs were taken up at 11:50 both dogs scoring. In range, 

 speed and style Tom had the advantage. An adjournment 

 was then taken for lunch. 



ROBERT SPRING AND PEARL'S DOT. 



Mr, H. T. Schmidt's liver and white dog Robert Spring 

 (Hairspring— Diables), handled by Geo. McLin, and Mr. J. 

 B. Turner's liver and white bitch Pearl's Dot (Trinket's 

 Bang — Pearlstoue), handled by J. B. Stoddard, were put 

 down in a stubble field on the Horn farm at 1:04. Going into 

 briers near a fence, Dot flushed a covey; 50yds. further on 

 near the same fence Robt. flushed a covey. Going on up the 

 fence to the corner of the field, Dot pointed a single, Robt. 

 backed indifferently, both dogs were steady to wing. At 

 this juncture Mr. Madison was taken ill and was compelled 

 to retire, leaving the judging to be done by Mr. Robinson 

 and Mr. Freeman. Nothing more was accomplished by this 

 brace and they were taken up at 2:03. Pearl's Dot scored, 

 Robert Spring failed. 



ELECTRIC AND FANCY FREE. 



Mr. Frank Carlisle's orange and white dog Electric (Crox- 

 teth— Young Beulah), handled by S. J. McCartney, and Mr. 

 Worthington Hoyt's liver and white bitch Fancy Free (Don- 

 ald—Lady Bow), handled by R. B. Morgan, were cast off in 

 stubble field, on west end of the Horn farm, at 2:10. Neither 

 had much style, range or speed. The judges flushed a 

 covey which dropped along a ditch; the dogs were called 

 over to be put on these birds. Fancy was lost, birds were 

 seen to flush in corner of field and Fancy was found there. 

 In ditch both dogs pointed. The handlers moving around 

 flushed the remainder of the covey. Moving along the 

 fence, each dog got a point on singles, and were steady to 

 shot. Going back into the stubble Fancy flushed a single, 

 then the entire covey. She passed a covey which she should 

 have pointed, as her handler coming up, following his dog, 

 walked into the birds. She twice made game but moved on, 

 and birds were flushed by spectators from these places^ 

 Passing into woods Electric pointed a single and Fancy 

 backed; then Fancy pointed a single, Electric refused to 

 back; both dogs were steady to shot. They were taken up 

 at 2:45. Fancy scored, Electric failed. 



First Rerpdar Scries. 



PEARL'S DOT. AND FANCY FREE. 



This brace was put down where last brace finished. Dot 

 soon began roading and flushed a single outlying bird, then 

 she roaded into and flushed a covey. In the woods Dot 

 flushed a covey, then she pointed a single, and was nicely 

 backed by Fancy. In briers Fancy challenged, but was pre- 

 vented from establishing her point by her handler continu- 

 ally cautioning her; a covey flushed by dog and handler to- 

 gether. Going over fence, on forbidden ground. Fancy 

 pointed and Dot backed; the judges called the handlers and 

 dogs back into stubble. In stubble Dot was missed, and 

 while her handier was hunting her a covey was seen to flush, 

 and she was then discovered running in that locality. Dot 

 pointed and moved on: after she was gone a bird was flushed 

 from where she had pointed; the handlers then soon flushed 

 a covey. Going into woods, a covey flushed, both dogs were 

 within a few feet of the birds, but failed to scent them. 

 Fancy then flushed two singles in succession. Then Dot 

 pointed a single, and Fancy also nailed one. Then Dot got 

 another single, while Fancy scored a flush. The dogs were 

 taken up and the heat given to Pearl's Dot. Dot did not go 

 as well in this heat as she did in her other heat, while Fancy 

 did better. Dot had the best style in motion, while Fancy 

 made the most stylish point. In speed and range Dot was 

 superior. This heat lasted 53 minutes. 



DEVONSHIRE JILT AND THOMASTONE. 



This brace was put down in weed field at 4:05. Tom ran 

 into a covey and dropped to flush; then Jilt pointed a single 

 and was unsteady to wing. Later on Jilt pointed, moved 

 on and pointed again just as birds flushed all around her. 

 Tom got a point on these birds a moment before they flushed. 

 Moving on Tom pointed just as two birds flushed from high 

 weeds; then he got a single in the same way. Further on, 

 at different times, both handlers claimed points, but they 

 failed to find birds to the points. Passing on Tom pointed 

 a rabbit. In another stubble both dogs began pointing and 

 roading; JiR getting too near flushed the birds; Tom pointed 

 a moment before the birds flushed. Going to hillside Jilt 

 pointed indifferently on a single. Tom then pointed and 



Jilt backed iu differently; they were steady to shot. Tom 

 had the advantage in style, speed and range. They were 

 taken up at 5:00 and the heat given to Thomastone. 

 Thursday, Nov. 7. 



Second Series. jg 



PEARL'S DOT AND THOMASTOXK. 

 This brace was cast off at 8:30 in stubble to decide first 

 money. In ten minutes Tom ran through a covey in the 

 stubble aud dropped to wing. In the woods where the birds 

 had been marked down Dot pointed a single nicely, and was 

 steady to shot. Tom was not near enough to back. Across 

 the creek in an old field Tom pointed a rabbit, Gleason cor- 

 rected him, turned him loose, when he started on a chase of 

 the fur, giving tongue. As Tom and the rabbit ran past Dot, 

 she joined in the chase. This being all that was done in the 

 heat the dogs were taken up at 9:10 and the heat and first 

 money given to Pearl's Dot. 



Third Series. 



DEVONSHIRE JILT AND FANCY FREE. 

 This brace was put down to decide which of the two dogs 

 should run against Thomastone for second money. Iu a 

 thicket Jilt pointed a single, Fancy backed nicely, both 

 steady to wing; Fancy next pointed in briers; when her 

 handler tried to flush, she moved up aud flushed two birds. 

 In an orchard Jilt flushed a covey; going on, several birds 

 flushed wild, the dogs, handlers and judges all among them. 

 Going on to hillside in the woods, Fancy made a stjlisb 

 point on a single, and was steady to wing. In a thicket 

 close to the creek Fancy pointed a single. Three birds 

 flushed near Jilt which she should have pointed; she then 

 flushed a single. The dogs were taken up at 10:05 and the 

 heat given to Fancy Free. 



Fourth Series. 



THOMASTONE AND FANCY FREE. 

 This br-iee was cast off at 10:15 to contest for second 

 money. They were worked toward where a scattered covey 

 had settled. Tom pointed a rabbit, which ran through a 

 covey of birds and flushed four of them. The dogs comin« 

 along, flushed the remainder of the covey, which they should 

 have pointed. In thicket near the creek several birds 

 flushed; the dogs were near them at the time. In stubble 

 on top of hill Tom pointed in good style. Gleason, going in 

 to flush, saw a rabbit run from the point and tried to send 

 his dog on; he held his point, however, and a covey flushed 

 a few feet in advance of the dog. In weeds near fence Fancy 

 false pointed. Then she pointed in a gully, but could not 

 exactly locate the bird, which flushed as she moved on. 

 The dogs were taken up at 10:50 and the heat and second 

 money given to Thomastone, Fancy Free taking third.

A TRANSACTION IN DOG FLESH. — Cadiz, O., Nov. 

 11.— Editor Forest and Stream: In regard to the article 

 published in Forest and Stream, under date of Nov. 2, 

 will say that if "Jeweler," "D. Fenwick & Co,," will come 

 out like a man and state facts I will then vindicate myself. 

 This "Jeweler" of Suspension Bridge, under his lawful 

 name, has, I believe, been written up on more than one oc- 

 casion for crooked dog dealing; and as there are always two 

 sides to a dog trade I will say that if "Jeweler" will come 

 out in his own name and state the case truthfully then I 

 will give my side of the story, which wall put a different 

 phase on the subject.— S. C. G. 



VORTIGERN.— Philadelphia, Nov. 17. — I am sorry to in- 

 form you that the black and tan terrier champion Vortigern 

 (E.K.C.S.B. 8,633) died Nov. 15; cause, pneumonia. He was 

 twelve years old last August, and as you know was sire 

 of more winners than any black and tan terrier on this side 

 of the water. I feel that I have lost an old Mend.— Edward 

 Lever. 



BUFFALO KENNEL CLUB.— Buffalo, Nov. 12.— Editor 

 Forest and Stream: The Buffalo Kennel Club has recently 

 been organized with the following officers: Geo. H. Bush, 

 President; Otto W. Volger, Vice-President; A. W. Smith, 

 Secretary; E. W. Greiner, Treasurer. We intend giving a 

 dog show at Music Hall, March 18 to 21, 1890, and claim 

 those dates.— A. W. Smith, Secretary. 



SPRATTS PROVENDER DID. IT. — Editor Forest and
