SOUTHERN TRIALS. 



[By a Special Reporter.'] 



THE Southern Meld Trials Club's second annual meet at 

 Amoiy, Miss., commenced Dec. 16 with the Derby and 

 ended with the Pointer Stake Saturday, Dec. 30. The judg- 

 ing; was done by Col. James Gordon, Col. W. C. Sherrod 

 and T. M". Brumby, and in the main we never saw judging 

 done any better or more satisfactory. Only twice did we 

 find any serious reason to differ from them. Their treat- 

 ment of handlers was gentlemanly and polite, and in return 

 the handlers, with one exception, obeyed cheerfully every 

 order and request of judges. We never saw more quiet 

 orderly handling; there was no blowing of whistles, nor 

 loud boisterous commands to dogs, but every handler seemed 

 to have bis dog under good control: if he was not he would 

 not let the fact be known by storming at him. The dogs 

 were given thirty minutes in each heat; then if there was not 

 enough work to decide they were run fifteen minutes longer, 

 or in fifteen-minute heats until a decision could be made. 

 The quality of the dogs as a whole was much higher than 

 the average, and considering the weather, which was hot 

 and dry all bbe week, the performance of most of the dogs 

 was wonderful. There were plenty of birds and the grounds 

 were good for testing a dog's range, speed and finding qual- 

 ities. The land owners were kind and pleasant, and you 

 found none of them snarling around, which is so common at 

 other trials grounds, about sportsmen going on their places. 

 The people of Amory were very kind and reasonable in their 

 charges; they have not yet learned to look upon sportsmen 

 as legitimate prey, nor to think each one has a bank account 

 that they can draw on at will, as is common at so many 

 other places where trials are held. The horses and vehicles 

 were good and charges reasonable.

 (Beppo III.— Lass of Bow), handled by Short, and P, Loril- 

 lard's black, white and tan setter bitch Cloehette (Roderigo 

 —Lavalette), handled by D. E. Rose, were cast off at 8:30, in 

 open country, running around a pond. Tempest pointed 

 standing in path. Cloehette passed in beyond, caught 

 scent, and pointed same bevy, both dogs steady to shot. 

 Sent on Cloehette pointed single in grass. Sent on Tempest 

 pointed single; then Cloehette pointed single in high grass: 

 then Tempest pointed and Cloehette backed. After drawing 

 much country blank, ordered up at 9:25. In pace and range 

 they were equal; in style on point Cloehette was best. 



GATH'S HOPE AND TRANSIT. 

 D, E. Rose's white and lemon setter dog Gath's Hope, 

 handled by owner, and Thos. H. Blyfche's liver, white and 

 tan pointer dog Transit (Beppo HI.— Lass of Bow), handled 

 by Short, were cast off at 9:30, in open cornfield. Gath 

 pointed bevy; as Rose called ''point" birds flushed wild. 

 Sent on Gath made game, but nothing was found. Then 

 Gath flushed an outlying bird and bevy went. Sent on, 

 Gath pointed a bevy in high grass. A point on singles for 

 both dogs was not allowed, as time was called, 30m. Dogs 

 were again sent on. Transit pointed bevy, Gath backed, 

 both dogs pointed in sedge, nothing found. Sent on, Tran- 

 sit pointed single; sent on, Transit drew in on bevv and 



flushed. Up at the end of an hour, Gath won. In pace and 

 range Gath was much the best. 



BESSIE M. AND FRED GATES. 

 G. Mptzger's liver, white and tau setter bitch Bessie M. 

 Count Noble— Fate Gladston), and Hamilton & Jackson's 

 black, white and tan setter dog Fred Gates (Bob Gates— 

 Lillie B.), were cast off at 11:30. Fred, in thick grass, ran 

 into bevy and pointed just as they rose. They were fol- 

 lowed into pines. Fred pointed single, Bessie backed. Sent 

 on Bessie picked up two single points in good style. Fred 

 backed. Fred ran into another bevy in high grass and 

 stopped about time birds rose. Sent on, Bessie scored two 

 false points. Sent on, Fred pointed bevy in sedge. They 

 followed, Bessie picked up two single points in good style, 

 and won. This was a close heat, and if Fred had been 

 steady to shot he would have won- In speed and range 

 both were good. Down one hour. Tucker handled Bessie. 



8IMONIDES AND DAD WILSON'S BOY 

 were cast off at 11:50. Soon after starting Dad flushed a bevy 

 in sedge. Sent on in swamp. Simonides pointed on foot 

 scent and bird flushed wild. Then each dog flushed a single 

 in high dry grass. Taken up at 12:20 for lunch. At 1:45 

 they were cast off. Dad made game. Simonides went in 

 and pointed bevy. Sent on in high grass, each got point 

 on singles about the same time. Sent on, Simonides made 

 two more points on singles and Dad one. At 2:00 dogs were 

 oidered up and Simonides won. In speed and range they 

 were equal ; on birds Simonides was best. Both dogs were 

 steady to wing and shot. 



QUADROON AND TRIBULATION 

 were cast off at 2:05. Tribulation soon pointed a bevy; 

 Quadroon backed; birds went to thicket, where Quadroon 

 got two nice singles, and Tribulation one. Worked out in 

 open, Tribulation making a cast ran into a bevy which 

 flushed. Sent on in thick grass Quadroon pointed in high 

 grass. Bird must have run from the point as nothing was 

 found. Time up; down 30min. In speed and range both 

 were good, with the odds in favor of Tribulation. 



HOPE'S RAY AND DAD WILSON. JR. 

 were cast off at 2:40. Soon after starting, Ray made a point 

 on foot scent. Sent on he ran about 30yds. and pointed 

 bevy in good style. Birds were put up. Birds settled in 

 high grass, when Bay eot two points on siugles, and Dad, 

 Jr. one. Then dogs were sent in woods and a great deal of 

 work was done, on singles, Ray getting in several very styl- 

 ish points and a false point. Dad, Jr. got one point and a 

 false point. Taken out in open a great deal of country was 

 drawn blank. Working down a. fence row in a peapatch 

 both dogs stopped to a point, Dad in front or nearest the 

 birds. Birds were put up; both dogs steady to shot. Fol- 

 lowing birds to thicket no work was done, up at 4:15, 

 After a long consultation, the judges gave the heat to Dad, 

 Jr. This we thought au error for this reason. While both 

 dogs had good speed and range, with the odds in favor of 

 Dad in speed and style in motion, Hope's Ray found the 

 first bevy and outworked him by far on birds, Ray stamp- 

 ing up to his game, and pointing in good style, while Dan 

 would point and wag, just as if he was looking for his 

 handler. 



NANON AND BESSIE M. 

 were cast off at 4:20. Nanon soon ran a rabbit through a 

 bevy and flushed it. Fannie came on and pointed one of 

 the 'birds that did not go with bevy. Sent into woods. Fan- 

 nie picked up a couple of single points. She next pointed a 

 bevy. Nanon backed. Sent on Fannie pointed single 

 and Nanon pointed single. Fannie next pointed a bevy. 

 Down 30min. Fannie M. outclassed as a bird dog and was 

 better in in every respect. This ended the first series. 

 Second Series. 



TEMPEST AND GATH'S HOPE II. 

 were put down Tuesday morning in open sedge. Hope over 

 a hill pointed a bevy. Rose moved him up and birds flushed 

 wild into thicket, where it was impossible to work. Sent 

 on, Tempest flushed a bevy, which went to woods. Work- 

 ing on scattered birds in woods, Tempest made one point 

 aud a flush and was unsteady to wing. Ordered up at 8:15. 

 Down 30m. Tempest won. In speed and range Hope was 

 much the best; in style they were about equal. This brace 

 might have been given a little more time on birds. 



A change was here made in the order of running that 

 Fannie M. might be run a side heat, as she had the bye in 

 this series, and the next brace were put down, 



TRIBULATION AND DAD WTLSON, JR., 

 were put down at 8:40 in nice open to show dogs' speed and 

 range. Tribulatiou flushed a bevy, which went in pine 

 woods. Both dogs pointed t drew in and bird flushed wild. 

 Dad pointed, handler went m and bird went out ot tree near 

 by. Od, Dad false pointed, Working out in open Dad 

 pointed rabbit. Tribulation next pointed bevy on edge of 

 briers. In cotton patch Stephenson shot, both dogs steady. 

 Sent on Dad pointed a single, which flushed wild. Tribula- 

 tion got a flush. Dogs ordered up at 9:15 and Dad Wilson, 

 Jr., won. In speed and range they were equal, neither were 

 very decided on birds. This was a very close heat and Dad 

 Wilson, Jr., had little to spare. 



SIMONIDES AND BESSIE M. 

 were cast off at 9:30. Soon after starting, going down wind 

 at a fast gait, Simonides flushed four birds. Working in 

 sedge Bessie pointed a single and Simonides backed. On, 

 Simondies ranging off to the right, pointed a bevy in good 

 style and Bessie backed, the birds were put up and dogs 

 were steady to shot. In thicket, Simonides got three points 

 and Bessie two. Working out in open, dogs were found on 

 point by fence, Simonides nearer the birds. A fine bevy 

 were put up to this point; both dogs behaved well to wing. 

 On, Bessie pointed a single; about the same time Simouides 



Efinted a single. Up at 10:00. Down 30m. This was a nice 

 eat and a great deal of work done on game. Both dogs 

 had good speed and style. Simonides won by his positive 

 woik on game. 



Third Series. 



E ANNIE M. AND TEMPEST. 



At 10:06 this brace were cast off. In pine woods Fannie 

 pointed a bevy in good style. Sent on, Fannie drew to a 

 point but abandoned it and went on and pointed a bevy. 

 Tempest brought up to back, pointed an out-lying bird; both 

 dogs" behaved well to shot. Sent on, Fannie dropped to 

 point as the bird flushed. Then Tempest false-pointed. 

 Then Fannie scored another point on a single, then pointed 

 a rabbit. Up at 10:36. In speed and range Fannie was much 

 the best, out-classing Tempest in every way. She won. 

 SIMONIDES AND DAD WILSON, JR. 



This brace were cast off at 10:45. Working in pines Sim- 

 onides pointed bevy. Dad backed promptly. Rose shot 

 and both dogs were steady to gun. Sent on both dogs scored 

 a flush in high grass. After a long run in corn Dad flushed 

 an outlying bird of a bevy, and as the handler went up the 

 remainder went. Working around edge of thicket Simon- 

 ides got three single points, and time, 30m., called. Sim- 

 onides won. This was a good brace, both dogs having 

 good speed and range with the odds in favor of Dad W., Jr., 

 but his competitor outworked him on game. 



Here a change was made in the order of running to decide 

 which was the best pointer in the Derby. Mr. Anthony 

 having offered a prize of $100 for the best pointer run in this 

 stake, Transit and Tribulation were selected by the jndges 

 to compete for this prize. They were cast off at 11:36. In a 

 cotton patch Tribulation pointed a bevy, left point and 

 Transit went up and pointed. Short put up the birds, both 



dog3 steady to wing. On, in thicket Transit got two points 

 on singles. Working back in corn Tribulation pointed a 

 bevy in good style. Sent on Transit soon pointed a siDgle. 

 Time called 12:06, and we went to lunch. In range and speed 

 Tribulatiou was much the best and outclassed Transit. On 

 singles Transit outworked bim. 



Fourth Series. 



FANNIE M. AND SIMONIDES. 



After lunch at 1:02 Fannie M. and Simonides were cast 

 off to run for first money. As they weut off Simonides went 

 to the left and Fannie ran through an old fence row into 

 grass not more than thirty yards from where they were put 

 down and pointed bevy. Tucker put up the birds. Sent on 

 Fannie poined a single and the point was honored by Simo- 

 nides. On, Simonides nailed a single going at a rapid gait 

 cross wind. About the same time Fannie caught scent 

 coming up wind and pointed the same bird, both dogs drop- 

 ped to wing; working by side of fence flushed a single. Sent 

 on in thicket Fannie pointed a single in good style. Work- 

 ing down edge of thicket Fannie pointed a bevy and Simo- 

 nides backed. Dogs were then worked in thicket where 

 each dog scored a point on siugles. Time was called. 

 Down 30 minutes. Fannie was declared the winner of the 

 beat and first money. 



After consultation Tempest was called up as the best dog 

 beaten by Fannie to ran against Simonides for second 

 money, but as Simonides had ran three heats that day, and 

 Tempest had only run two, the judges decided to postpone 

 this race until the next morning. Wednesday opened up 

 cloudy and a little more pleasant than the two previous 

 days of the trials. 



SIMONIDES AND TEMPEST 

 were put down to run for second money at 8:34, Soon after 

 starting both dogs made game in bottom. Crossing over 

 branch Simonides pointed a bevy in briers on branch. Rose 

 put them up aud Simonides dropped to shot. Birds were 

 followed over hill but not found. Working back in same 

 field — in thick grass — Simouides ran into and flushed a bevy, 

 which was an excusable flush, as he was going down wind. 

 Working dogs over branch Simonides pointed a single. 

 Time was called 9:04, and Simonides declared the winner, 

 with much to spare, as he outclassed Tempest in every way! 

 The judges then divided third between Dad Wilson, Jr., 

 and Tempest. Following is the summary:

ALL-AGED SETTER STAKE. 



On Wednesday, immediately after deciding first money 

 in the Derby, this stake was start ed, 



First Scries, 



As the first brace was not present, by consent of handlers 

 the second brace was put down. 



DUKE AND ROWEY B. 



L. B. McFarla*nd's black, white and tan setter dog Duke, 

 handled by B. M. Stephenson, and H. S. Bevan's black, 

 white and tan setter dog Rowey B. (Roderigo— Juno A.), 

 handled by owner, were put down in a large stubble field at 

 11:55; both dogs went off at a good gait and ranged well. 

 Working through this field Rowey pointed, Duke brought 

 up to back did so well, handler failed to flush and dogs 

 were sent on. Duke soon repeated this performance, and 

 no bird was found to his point. Working over road into 

 another large field, one of the judges flushed a bevy that 

 both dogs went very near. Working dogs in the direction 

 the birds went, Stephenson called point in briers but no 

 bird was found. About this time Rowey false pointed in 

 edge of briers. Crossing field and working in woods Duke 

 made a good point on a bevy, Stephenson shot and both dogs 

 were steady. Sent on in woods Duke false pointed. Work- 

 ing out in woods Duke made game, being cautioned by his 

 handler, he pointed, which proved a false point; had the 

 dog been let alone we don't think he would have got a false 

 point, but as it was handler failed to flush. Sent on both 

 dogs made game but failed to find. Time was called, aud 

 the judges sent the dogs on. Over a fence both dogs pointed 

 a bevy with Duke nearest the birds. Stephenson shot and 

 missed. On, in thicket Rowey pointed a single. Working 

 out in cane Duke false pointed, Time called at 2:55. Duke 

 won, but he had very little to spare, as it was a very poor 

 heat. 



LUFBA'S MARK AND FLORENCE GLADSTONE. 



W. W. Titus's black, white and tan setter Lufra's Mark 

 (Gath's Mark— Lufra) handled by owner, and W. Bedford's 

 black, white and tan setter bitch Florence Gladstone (Glad- 

 stone—Florence) were cast off at 3:11. Working in open 

 country to try their range and speed a bevy was flushed by 

 spectators which Florence should have found, she having 

 passed very near them. On in the sedee and briers Mart 

 flushed a single, he then pointed another and retrieved 

 well, but was a little unsteady to Titus's kill. Soon after 

 this Mark was lost and while Titus was looking for him he 

 walked into and flushed a bevy which went to woods. Go- 

 ing into woods Mark scored two good points on singles, and 

 Florence pointed a single. As her handler went up she 

 jumped in and flushed, which was a bad piece of work. She 

 soon pointed another single which Short shot on the ground 

 and the bitch made a fair retrieve. Time 3:55. In speed 

 and range both were good, but their work on birds was iu- 

 different. 



BEN HUR AND DAD WIL30N. JR. 



F. F. Miles's black, white and tan setter dog Ben Hur (Paul 

 Gladstone— Lady Rake) and J. Shelly Hudson's black, white 

 and tan setter dog Dad Wilson, Jr. were put down at 4:25 

 and worked toward town. After running 10m. they were 

 ordered up and ali went in. 



Wednesday morning this brace was put down at 8:04, 

 Working around a swamp Dad pointed a bevyin high grass 

 aud was steady to gun and retrieved well. On in woods 

 Dad flushed a single; on, Dad made point on single and bird 

 flushed wild. Working out in corn Ben pointed and roaded 

 on and failed to locate, as his handler worked him off the 

 birds which were flushed by the crowd. Time 8:34. Dad 

 won easily, outclassing and outworking Ben. Short handled 

 Dad and MeCargo Ben.
