DIMPLE AND CINCINNATUS. 

 Fred F. Miles's black, white and tan bitch Dimple (Gordon 

 — Blanch), handled by MeCargo and J. E. Dager's black, 

 white and tan setter dog Cincinnatus (Count Noble — Dido 

 ID, handled by Chas. Tucker. This brace were put down 

 in open country near where the last brace were taken up. 

 They were both ufcrry, good workers, bnt seemed to have 

 very little bird sense. Working around a thicket Cincin- 

 natus pointed a bevy, and to Tucker's kill he made a very 

 nice retrieve. Sent on in pines he made game, pointed, bnt 

 went ou. Soon after Dimple pointed a single m good style. 

 No more work was done on birds. Time was called at 9;48. 

 Cincinnatus won on his range and speed. 



DAN GLADSTONE AND MARK OF BRUNSWICK. 

 J. W. R en f roe's black, white and tan setter dog Dan Glad- 

 stone (Gladstone— Sue), handled by D. E. Rose, and W. J. 

 Cannon's black, white and tan setter dog Mark of Bruns- 

 wick (Oberon— Light of Hatchie), haudled by Poindexter, 

 were cast off at 9:55 in open; both went off at a clipping 

 gait, ranging and hunting well. Going into cornfield Dan 

 wheeled into point on a bevy. Mark coming up. backed 

 well. Rose flushed; both dogs steady to shot. On in 

 thicket Dan soon pointed a single, then over a fence Mark 

 pointed a single. Working back in corn Dan located an- 

 other bevy at upper eud of field in sedge. To Rose's kill 

 Dan made a good retrieve. Sent on, Dan pointed a single. 

 Working through thicket Mark, out in weeds, got a good 

 noint ou a bevy. Dan coming in down wind from a cast, 

 flushed one of the birds and the bevy went, Poindexter 

 shot and missed; both dogs behaved well to gun. Sent on 

 in pines Mark flushed a single and was not very steady to 

 wing. TimeSOm. Dan won. In speed and range both were 

 good. In style in motion they were equal. Style on point 

 Dan was best. 



TOLEDO BLADE AND STARTLE. 

 J. E. Dager's black, white and tan setter dog Toledo Blade 

 (Roderigo— Lillian), handled by Chas. Tucker, and L. B. 

 McFarland's. black, white and tan setter dog Startle, Jr. 

 (Startle— Light of Hatchie) , handled by Stephenson, were put 

 down where the last brace were taken up. Running around 

 the edge of some pines, Blade pointed a bevy and retrieved 

 well. Sent into pines on scattered birds Blade made a point 

 evidently on foot scent, as there was no cover for birds to 

 hide in. Sent on Startle false pointed, then Blade pointed 

 a single. Time was called 11:07 and Blade won easy. Star- 

 tle was no match for him on any part of the ground. 



CHICKASAW AND TENNESSEE CHARLEY. 



J. Shelly Hudson's black, white and tan setter dog Chick- 

 asaw (Gladstone— Sue), handled by Short, and West Tenn- 

 essee Kennels' Tennessee Charley (Fred W. — Ida), haudled 

 by B. M. Stephenson, were the next brace. They were put 

 down at 11:15. Working into edge of pines Chickasaw 

 pointed, which proved to be false. Sent on over a good 

 scope of country blank, Chickasaw pointed a bevy and 

 Charley backed, both dogs steady to shot. In pines 'Chick 

 pointed, moved on and flushed; then Charley false pointed. 

 Chick then pointed a single. Sent on Chick pointed a sin- 

 gle and retrieved. Then Charley secured a good point on a 

 -ingle,, and made a good retrieve to Stephenson's kill. Both 

 dogs pointed singles just as time was called. In speed 

 Charley was best, range was equal, style on point Chick 

 was the best. Chick won. Down 30 minutes. 



C ORSAIR AND DAISY'S HOPE. 

 West Tennessee Kennels' black, white and tan Corsair 

 (Dan Gladstone— Haidee) handled by Stephenson and A. M. 

 Young's orange and white setter bitch Daisy's Hope (Gath's 

 Hope— Daisy F.) handled by Titus. After lunch at 1:05 this 

 brace was put down they; went at a race horse gait and Hope 

 stopped to point at the edge of thicket a quarter of a mile 

 away. Corsair backed well, Titus flushed a big bevy and 

 both dogs behaved well to wing. Then Hope got two points 

 on singles and made a good retrieve. Working out in open 

 Hope was lost and found on point, to which Tifcus flushed a 

 fine b p vy. Going into woods Corsair got two points and a 

 flush and Hope one point. Moving back in field Hope soon 

 pointed, bird was flushed, time called. Hope won with a 

 good deal to spare. This finished the first series = 

 Second Series. 



DUKE AND DAD WILSON, JR. 

 were put down at 1:48 in open sedge field. Soon after 

 starting Duke made game. Dad was allowed to go in and 

 trying to get the point flushed the bevy. Working into 

 thicket on scattered birds Duke flushed a single and was 

 steady to wing. Working back in the field, Duke pointed 

 a single. On, Dad showing signs of game his handler cau- 

 tioned him and called point, but failed to flush, making the 

 dog score a false point, which he would not have done if let 

 alone. Time was called and the judges sent the dogs on in 

 high grass. Dad made a point on a bevy and made a fair 

 retrieve. Working in woods on scattered birds Duke 

 pointed a single. Time up and judges again sent dogs on. 

 In woods Dad, going cross wind, flushed a single, then soon 

 made false point which his handler was partly responsible 

 for. Hunting out a piece of woods Dad made game and as 

 he was drawing in the birds flushed wild. He then got 

 two good points on singles, to Duke a false point and was 

 declared winner of the heat. Down in all 1 hour. There 

 was no very high class work done. Both had good range 

 and speed with fair style. Duke showed he had been used 

 too often as a shooting dog. 9 

 CINCINNATUS AND LUFRA'S MARK. 

 This brace was put down in a good field to test their 

 range and speed; both went well, with speed rather in favor 

 of Cincinnatus, but in this, as in nearly every heat he ran, 

 he seemed to be just showing his speed, with no desire or 

 inclination to find birds. After a long run they were taken 

 up for water, as they both were showing signs of fatigue, 

 the day being extremely warm for the time of year. Sent 

 on Cincinnatus made game but abandonedit, andspectators 

 coming up flushed birds. In sedge Cin. flushed a single, 

 then false pointed. Then Mark pointed a single. Then 

 Cincinnatus got a good point on a single: to order he re- 

 trieved well. Time was called 30m., and the judees sent 

 them on. After this each dog scored several flushes on 

 birds that they had good opportunities to point, which 

 made the heat a very poor and uninteresting one. Ordered 

 up at 4:30, down in all lh. and 20m. Both dogs backed and 

 behaved well to shot. Cincinnatus won. 



DAN GLADSTONE AND TOLEDO BLADE. 



At 4:24 this brace was cast off. Both dogs went at a clip- 

 ping gait, working their ground well, showing they were 

 hunting for game. Working over the railroad Dan made 

 game and commenced drawing on an outlying bird of a 

 bevy. Blade coming in from a cast ran between the bevy 

 and Dan and pointed. Tucker shot and Dan's bird went 

 when the bevy flushed. Sent on, Blade going at a rapid 

 gait ran over and flushed a single. Dan working out to the 

 right pointed a single. Then Blade in briers pointed several 

 birds. Dan coming around caught scent and pointed the 

 same birds. Tucker shot and both dogs were steady. Blade 

 soon got another point on a single. Dogs then worked out 

 in open to find another bevy. Before any more work was 

 done time was called, and it being about dark everybody 

 started for town. 



Thursday morning was a little cloudy, but bv 10 o'clock 

 the clouds were gone and it was warm and sultry 

 We got an early start, and at 7:50 Dan Gladstone and Toledo 

 Blade were put down to finish the undecided heat of the 

 evening before. Both dogs went off with great speed, rang- 

 ing fast and wide. In stubble Dan commenced drawing on 



a covey. Blade, coming in from a cast, ran into them and 

 flushed. This was an excusable flush, as it was cross wind. 

 Working dogs in pines after scattered birds Blade jumped 

 into a point ou a single. Dm backed, Tucker killed and 

 Blade made a good retrieve. Right here Dan displayed his 

 cool level head and resisted a temptation that very few bird 

 logs can resist. This bird dropped within 5ft. of his nose 

 and lay fluttering in the leaves, but the dog never moved a 

 step or changed his position iu the least. Sent on Dan 

 stopped to a point and the bird flushed wild. Soon after 

 this, working up through pines, Dan was lost, and before 

 he was found time was called, 8:05, and dogs ordered up. 

 Rose soon found Dan on a point at the edge of thicket and 

 put up the bird. Judges consulted some time and gave the 

 heat to Tolado Blade. This was the best and most interest- 

 ing heat that had been run in this stake, both dogs being 

 fast, stylish and perfectly broken, and doing work that was 

 of the highest order of merit. 



CHICKASAW AND DAISY'S HOPE 

 were put down at 8:20 in open near where the last brace 

 were taken up. After a long hunt with uo good results, 

 Hope painted a bevy in edge of thicket. Birds were, flushed 

 and both dogs behaved well towing. The thicket was too 

 deuse and birds were not followed Working around the 

 thicket Hope, was lost, and after some time Titus found her 

 on point in thicket and high grass; birds were flushed to the 

 point. Working back out in open Chickasaw pointed in 

 thin sedge. Nothing was found to the point. Time was 

 called and dogs sent on. This we thought an error, for 

 under the same opportunities the dog had done nothing but 

 make one false point, and the bitch had fouud a bevy and 

 made a noint on scattered birds, and to run either of them 

 lo iger, as hot as the day was, would seriously impair their 

 cUances in their future running. After a long run Hope 

 was much the best. In style on point Chick, was decidedly 

 the best. 



Tlilvd Series. 



DAD WILSON, JR., AND CINCINNATUS, 

 At 10:00 this brace was put down near where the last brace 

 was taken up. This was a brace that abounded in much 

 running around on the part of Cincinnatus and very little 

 work. He was headstrong and refused to obey the whistle. 

 They did but little work on game. Soon after starting Dad 

 made game but failed to locate and after going on the bird 

 was put up by spectators. Both dogs made several false 

 points and Dad made some flushes, finally he made a 

 good point on a single and to Short's kill made a decidedly 

 good retrieve. They were given one hour's work and Dad 

 won with plenty to spare. 



TOLEDO BLADE AND DAISY'S HOPE. 

 This brace was put down in thicket where some, scattered 

 birds had been seen. Soon after starting Blade pointed a 

 single and made a good cheerful retrieve. Working up by 

 fence at the edge of briers he pointed and was well backed 

 by Hope. Tucker could find nothing to the point, but as 

 scattered birds went that way it is probable they had run 

 off. Dogs taken up for water. After a few minutes the 

 dogs were sent on and Hope working to the right soon 

 pointed a bevy. To Titus's kill she made an ordinary retrieve, 

 bent on in cotton patch on scattered birds both dogs got 

 several points. Blade doing some very brilliant work of 

 the highest order of merit and won the heat. Up at 11:58. 

 Hope was at least seven pounds too fat and it was so hot 

 she showed signs of great fatigue before the race was over. 



Fourth Series. 



TOLEDO BLADE AND DAD WILSON, JR. 



After lunch the judges decided to move about a mile and 

 try some new territory, but it proved the wrong move, and 

 they soon discovered their mistake and came back on the 

 same farm they had been running on during the morning. 

 On returning soon after the dogs were, turned down, Blade 

 pointed a bevy and Dan backed well. Working the dogs in 

 pines and high grass. Blade got four good points to Dad's 

 one, and time was called and he was declared winner of the 

 heat, which decision carried with it first money and all the 

 honors of winning the All-Aged Setter Stake. 



Fifth Series. 



Dan Gladstone being selected by the judges as the best 

 dog beaten by winner of first, he was brought up to run 

 with Dad Wilson, Jr. for second money. Dad's handler 

 claimed his dog had ran three heats that day, and it would 

 be unjust to make him run before the next morning, and 

 the race was postponed until Friday morning, and the first 

 brace in the pointer stake was called. 



Friday morning the clouds were flying and it rained a 

 little, but not enough to stop our work. By 10 o'clock it was 

 clear and hot. 



DAN GLADSTONE AND DAD WILSON, JR. 



At 9:55 this brace was cast off to compete for second place. 

 Both dogs went out fast and stayed out working their 

 ground well. In sedge by fence Dan was lost and found by 

 one of the judges on point. When handler tried to flush 

 the birds nothing was found. From the movements of the 

 dogs it was evident the birds had run from Dan's point while 

 he was lost. Ordered on both dogs commenced circling for 

 them and went over fence in pines and sedge. After a little 

 circle in pines, the dogs working up fence, Dad in front and 

 Dan following.Dan wheeled to a point down wind. Rose put 

 up thebirds,shot, andbothdogs were steady to wing audgun. 

 This was a good piece of work, the birds were only about 

 40yds. from where Dan first pointed them. Sent on in thicket 

 Dan got two points on singles and a flush. Dad made a 

 false point. Dogs were again worked back in open, from 

 there into pines and sedge, dogs coming in and meeting 

 made a mutual back. There was no more work on game. 

 Pace and range were about equal, in style on point Dan was 

 much the best. Dad has shown himself a good puppy, run- 

 ning through the Derby and All-Aged Stake, always show- 

 ing good range and speed. In the last heat he stood no 

 chance with Dan, as his experience and bird sense was too 

 much for a puppy to contend against. Dan won the heat 

 and second place. The judges then divided third between 

 Dad Wilson, Jr. , and Daisy's Hope. This ended the All-Aged 

 Stake. Following is the summary: 



First Series. 

 Dad Wilson, Jr., beat Ben Hur. 

 Duke beat Rowey B.

Final for Second Place. 

 Dan Gladstone, beat Dad Wilson, Jr., and won second prize 

 Dad Wilson, Jr., and. Daisy's Hope were placed equal third! 



ALL-AGBD POINTER STAKE. 



The All Aged Pointer Stake began on Thursday immedi- 

 ately after deciding first money in the AU-A.ged Setter 

 Stake. There were seven starters, but before the running 

 commenced the handler of Beppo III. asked permission to 

 withdraw him, the dog being out of condition. The order 

 of running was as follows: 



Bounce against Bloomo II. 



Tribulation against Galena. 



Lady Zeal against Count Fauster. 



First Series. 



BOUNCE AND BLOOMo IT 



G. W. Amory's liver and white pointer dog Bounce (Bob 

 —Sal) and Graphic Kennels' liver and white pointer bitch 

 Bloomo II. (Lad of Bow— Bloomo). At 3:31 this brace were 

 cast off in open field. Working in pines Bounce pointed 

 bevy in good style. Bloomo backed. The handler did not 

 go out far enough to flush and the dogs were ordered on. 

 Both dogs ran into the bevv and flushed, both dogs steady 

 to order. Sent on in pines Bounce in crossing branch flushed 

 a single; he then pointed a single which handler failed to 

 find, and it was flushed by one of the judges, About this 

 time Bloomo off to the left pointed and roaded a bird some 

 40vds. To Stevenson's kill Bloomo made a good retrieve. 

 Seven more birds were flushed by the judges aud reporters, 

 and the dogs were ordered back in open. In sedge and pines 

 Bloomo made game, but her handler got in too close and the 

 birds flushed. Time was called and the dogs sent on. 

 Bloomo soon pointed a single which was put up. Working 

 out in corn Bouuce pointed a. bevy; before his handler got 

 up he moved in and flushed. Both dogs were unsteady to 

 wrng. Before any of the siugles could be found time was 

 called and Bloomo won. In speed, range aud style Bounce 

 was much the best, and if he had been properly handled 

 should have won, but under the work done the judges did 

 right to give the bitch the heat. They were down in all 45 

 minutes. 



TRIBULATION AND GALENA. 

 B. M. Stephenson's liver aad white pointer dog by Beppo 

 III. out of Lass of Bow, and J. E, Gill's liver and white 

 pointer bitch Galena, by Trinket's Bang out of Cremorne, 

 both dogs handled by Stephenson, were cast off and worked 

 toward town; both showed good range and speed. There 

 was no work done on game and at 5.00 they were ordered up. 

 Friday morning was cloudy and every sign of rain, but the 

 clouds soon drifted away and it was clear and hot. Tribu- 

 lation and Galena were put down at 8:05 to finish the heat 

 commenced the evening before; both went off well. At edge 

 of a thicket by a fence Tribulation pointed and Galena 

 backed. A fine bevy was put up to the point, which went 

 to thicket in a bottom, where Galena made two flushes in 

 quick succession. There was too much water to work and 

 the dogs were again ordered out in the open. Running into 

 pines Galena flushed a bevy and Tribulation flushed a 

 single. Time was called, dogs ordered up. Down in all, lh. 

 There was no good work done bv this brace. Neither showed 

 any bird sense, and seemed better satisfied running about 

 than pointing a bird. Tribulation won. 



LADY ZEAL AND COUNT FAUSTER. 

 John E. Gill's liver and white pointer bitch Lady Zeal 

 (Croxteth— Amine), handled by B. M. Stephenson, and Dr. 

 J. G. F. Holston's liver, white and tan dog Count Fauster 

 (Mainspring— Dolly Fauster), handled by Chas. Tucker, 

 were next cast off at 8:38. In open country, working around 

 edge of cornfield Zeal made a stylish point on a bevy and 

 was well backed by Count. Stephenson put them up and 

 shot and both dogs were steady. Working on scattered 

 birds Count soon pointed a single. Over fence in woods 

 Count again pointed and made a. good retrieve to Tucker's 

 kill. When Count was sent to retrieve Zeal broke in and 

 went off hunting. Handler finally got her back and claimed 

 he sent her on. The judges didn't see it that way and cut 

 her for unsteadiness. Working back in field Count made 

 game in briers. Zeal coming up both dogs drew and Count 

 pointed. Nothing was found to the point. Sent on, Count 

 going very fast dropped to a point in corn. Zeal backed to 

 order, nothing was found to the point. Time 9:08, Count 

 won. There was some dissatisfaction at the decision in this 

 heat, but we followed it very closely, saw all the work and 

 saw no ^reason for it, as Count was better in range, better 

 on game and stayed out at his work all the time, while the 

 bitch was cutting in and out and seemed to be looking for 

 orders. 



Here Dan Gladstone and Dad Wilson, Jr., were put down 

 to decide second place in All-Aged Stake. 



Second Series. 



COUNT FAUSTER AND BLOOMO II, 

 were cast off in open cover and sedge. After working some 

 distance Count pointed a bevy in a cotton patch. Bloomo 

 went up to back. To Tucker's kill Count made a good, 

 cheerful retrieve. Sent on at sedge of thicket Bloomo made 

 a point on a single, and to Stephenson's kill she made a 

 nice retrieve. Time was called and judges sent them on. 

 Bloomo soon made a stylish point on a bevy in thin grass, 

 and was steady to wing. Crossing railroad Count pointed' 

 at edge of corn and sedge. The birds had moved out of 

 corn down wind from the dog. Sent on Bloomo came on 

 them first and stopped just in time to save a flush. In 

 woods Count made two good points on singles. Time was 

 called at 11:28. Count won. This was the best working 

 brace that had been down ; both dogs showed well on game, 

 and backed and retrieved well. We then went to lunch. 



Third Series. 



TRIBULATION AND COUNT FAUSTER. 



At 1:00 this brace was put down to decide first money. 

 Both dogs went off well. After a long run both dogs made 

 game and finally Tribulation located a bevy in briers. 

 The birds were put up and went to thick heavy briers. The 

 dogs were worked to find them with no success. By this 

 time both dogs were showing very hot and tired. The sun 

 was shining bright and the heat up in the eighties. No 

 more work was done on game before time was called and 

 the heat went to Tribulation. As Count had run three 

 heats Mr. Tucker asked to wait over and run the heat for 

 second place Saturday morning, which was a great deal to 

 ask as the judges had made all their arrangements to get 

 away that night, but to give the dog a fair chance they 

 consented to stay. And the party went to town. 



Saturday morning the weather indicated rain. An early- 

 start was made, and at 8:50 Count Fauster and Galena were 

 put down to decide second place. After a run in open Count 

 flushed a bevy, then made several false points. Galena 

 made two points and a flush. They were ordered up at 9:30 

 Galena won. The judges then placed Count Fauster third.' 



Tribulation, the winner, proved to be a surprise. No one 

 who saw him run in the Derby thought he stood any chance. 

 While he had fine range, speed and good style in motion, he 

 never showed well at any time on birds. He seemed to 

 want experience; his owner explained this by saving that 

 he had not been worked on birds more than two weeks He 

 is a trim-made dog, below the medium size, and built to be 

 a good stayer. We congratulate Mr. Stephenson, his owner 

 on bringing a puppy in the stake that could run to the 

 front. The summary is as under: 



First Series. 

 Bloomo II. baat Bounce. 

 Tribulation beat Galena. 

 Count Fauster beat Lady Zeal.
