FOREST AND STREAM.

found. The does were then taken up and the heat given to 

 Reveler. The dogs were down only fifteen minutes.' While 

 the final result of the heat, might not- have been changed, 

 the bitc"b was not beaten when the heat ended. Both dogs 

 were going well, and a few moments more would have 

 shown their merits much better. 



SPOTTED BOY AND TKAP, JR. 



This brace was put down in stubble where last brace 

 finished at 1:10. Trap soon pointed a single and was steady 

 to shot. The pointer t hen secured two points on singles, and 

 Trap flushed a single, then each dog scored a flush. Sent on, 

 Trap pointed a single, wheu Gude went in to flush the bird 

 the bitch left the point and moved away in another direction; 

 Grade, however, flushed the bird. Trap soon made another 

 single point and was steady. The dogs were taken up at 

 1:30 and the heat given to Trap, Jr. I also think this an un- 

 just, decision: while the bitch had a very slight advantage at 

 this time, the dog was going well and the heat should have 

 been continued. I do not think that any heat should be 

 decided in ten minutes, especially where two dogs are so 

 evenly matched. 



Coyote, a bye, ran a side beat. 



Third Series. 



OOTOTE AND JUBILEE. 

 This brace was cast off in a stubble on the Wampler farm 

 at 1:57. Jubilee pointed a bevy in the top of a fallen tree, 

 and was steady to wing. "Barker called point for his dog 

 about the same time. When I got where I could see them 

 Mr. Barker's dog was moving. A bevy, however, flushed in 

 front of her. Coyote's birds went into an orchard and the 

 other bevy to the woods. The handlers here got separated 

 and several minutes were consumed in getting them to- 

 gether. Mr. Barker was instructed to bring his dog into the 

 woods, Jubilee in the mean time being held in check. When 

 Barker got up with his dog the judges sent them on after 

 the scattered birds. Jubilee pointed and moved on and 

 flushed several birds. After hunting out the woods the dogs 

 were sent into the orchard. Coyote pointed and was slightly 

 unsteady to shot. The judges consulted a fewminutes, sent 

 the dogs back in the stubble, but nothing more being found, 

 the judges ordered the does up at 2:48 and gave the heat to 

 Coyote. I approve this decision; Coyote was best in range 

 and speed. Jubilee best in style. Jubilee appeared stale on 

 his birds. 



REVELER AND TRAP, JR. 

 This brace was put down in a large stubble field at 2:55. 

 Trap, Jr., pointed a. bevy before she had gone 75yds., Reveler 

 backed handsomely, both dogs steady. Trap then pointed a 

 single in briers, then he repeated the dose. Henext pointed 

 a single. Then Trap false pointed. Reveler pointed a 

 single near a ditch, when his handler went in to flush the 

 dog mewed up. Trap pointed where a bird had been seen to 

 flush from. Reveler pointed a single and Trap backed. 

 Reveler then Hushed a single down wind, then pointed a 

 single, and Trap pointed a bevy, then she pointed a single, 

 then both does pointed the same bevy. Trap pointed and 

 moved on. Reveler pointed a single. The dogs were taken 

 up at 3:30 and the heat given to Reveler. In style and action 

 Reveler was best, but on point I liked Trap. They were 

 about equal in range and speed. If Trap had not sliown a 

 disposition to false point she surely would have won. 



Fourth Series. 



REVELER AND COYOTE. 

 Tin's brace was put down in a stubble on the Wampler 

 farm, to run for first prize, at 3:38. They had gone but a 

 short distance when both began pointing and roading feed- 

 ing birds. Reveler established a point on a single and was 

 steady. Coyote kept on roading and pointing until she 

 flushed a bevy, and was very unsteady to wing, making- 

 several jumps after the flying birds. Reveler then pointed, 

 nothing found. Coyote then flushed a single. Reveler then 

 pointed a bevy and, was steady to wing, then he pointed a 

 single. The birds were followed to an orchard, where 

 Reveler secured two points on singles, aud Coyote flushed a 

 bevy. They were taken up at 3:56 and the heat rightly given 

 to Reveler. Coyote did very poorly iu this heat, while 

 Reveler continued his good work. This finished the work 

 of the d ay. 



TUESDAY. 



Fifth Scries. 



The judges selected Trap, Jr., Jubilee and Coyote to run 

 for the remaining prizes. 



TRAP, JR., AND JUBILEE. 



This brace was put down in a stubble on the Wampler 

 farm at S:56 A. M. The field notes of this heat were kindly 

 furnished by Mr. B, Waters, as the judges recmested the 

 writer to accompany the bye dog Coyote in his side heat. 

 The dogs had only gone a few yards when Trap pointed, 

 moved up aud located a bevy, and was steady to wing, Jubi- 

 lee not near enough to back. Jubilee then flushed a single. 

 The birds were followed. Trap pointed, roaded and pointed 

 staunchly. Jubilee backed. Trap next pointed two birds. 

 Jubilee further on was roading. Trap came up and flushed 

 the birds. Then she pointed a sinele nicely and won. She 

 was superior in range and speed. Up at 9:05. 



Coyote a bye ran a side heat. 



Sixth Series. 



TRAP, JR., AND COYOTE. 



This brace was put down in an old weed field on the C. 

 Horn farm at 9:28. Trap soon pointed and moved on; later 

 she pointed a bevy. Coyote came up and flushed the birds. 

 Then both dogs made a false point, then repeated the dose. 

 Trap then pointed a few birels, but followed her handler 

 when he went in to flush; she was, however, steady to wing. 

 Trap then secured two more single points and won. They 

 were taken up at 9:48. 



The judges then placed Coyote third and Jubilee fourth, 

 So ended the Derby. 



ALL-AGED POINTER STAKE. 



Immediately after the Derby was finished the All-Aged 

 Pointer Stake was started. The drawing brought out the 

 following named dogs, which were judged by Messrs. Alex- 

 ander and Jay: 



Croxltll (W. J. Smith), liver and white bitch (Croxteth— 

 Daisy). 



against 



Thomastone (W. H. Holmes), liver and white dog (Cor- 

 nerston e— Firenzi ) , 



Lass op Bloomo (W. T. Hunter), liver and white bitch 

 {Lad of Bow— Bloomo), 



against 



Bounce (G. W, Amory), liver and white dog (Bob— Sal), 



Dolly C. (Joseph Crugom), liver and white bitch (Graphic 

 —Marguerite), 



against 



Bertraldro (J. E. Guinotte), liver, white and ticked 

 dog (Cornerstone— Bessie Bufort). 



First Series. 



CROXLLLL AND THOMASTONE. 

 Mr. H. J. Smith's liver and white bitch Croxlill, handled 

 by Mr. T. H. Poindexter, and Mr. W. H. Holmes's liver and 

 white dog Thomastone, handled by Mr. A. J. Gleason, were 

 put down in an old weed field on the C. Horn farm at 10 



A. M. Thomastone soon was found pointing a bevy. He 

 retrieved nicely to Gleason 's kill, Lill not near enough to 

 back. Being sent on he pointed another bevy and dropped 

 to shot. Sent on, Croxlill pointed a single and retrieved 

 nicely to Poindexter's kill. The dogs were taken up at 10:09. 

 The work done in this heat was of a very high order. 



LASS OP BLOOMO AND BOUNCE. 

 Mr. W. T. Hunter's liver and white bitch Lass of Bloomo, 

 handled by Mr. Prank Richards, and Mr-. G. W. Amory's 

 liver and white dog Bounce, handled , by Poindexter, were 

 cast off in a stubble field at 10:21. Lass pointed, moved up 

 and pointed a bevy nicely. Bounce backed, both dogs 

 steady to shot. On singles Bounce secured two points. 

 They were taken up at 10:42. In range, speed and style 

 Lass was much the best. 



BERTRALDRO AND DOLLY O. 



Hon. J. E. Guinotte's liver, white and ticked dog Bertral- 

 dro, handled by Gleasou, and Mr. Joseph Crugom's liver and 

 white bitch Do'lly C., handled by Richards, were cast off in 

 a large stubble field at 10:57 that allowed the dogs to display 

 their range and speed, which was of a very high order; 

 Dolly C. showing the most speed, but Bertraldro had better 

 style, as he carried a higher head than Dolly. Bertraldro 

 was first to find; he located and pointed a small bevy in the 

 center of the field and was steady to wing. Dolly backed 

 handsomely. Sent on, Dolly flushed a bevy and dropped to 

 wing. Then she false pointed. Bertraldro then flushed a 

 single. The dogs were taken up at 11:15. 



Second Series. 



The judges decided that all were good enough to run, 

 therefore the first brace was put down again. 



CROXLILL AND THOMASTONE. 

 This brace was put down in stubble at 11:32. Gleason soon 

 called point; I saw the bird go, but could not see whether it 

 was a point or a flush. The spectators coming up, flushed a 

 bevy. The dogs both pointed and roaded where the birds 

 had been running. Lill pointed a bevy and was steady to 

 shot. She next flushed a single. The birds were followed 

 to an orchard, where Thomastone pointed a single and 

 dropped to shot. The dogs were taken up at 12;07 and an 

 adjournment had for luuch. The dogs were taken to the E. 

 Howe farm and turned loose in a stubble at 1:12, which was 

 drawn blank. In another stubble field Thomastone pointed, 

 moved up and flushed a single. Lill then pointed a single. 

 Thomastone then pointed a single, then he flushed one. Lill 

 then made two false points. Both dogs roaded running 

 birds. Lill pointed a single and was steady to shot. Thom- 

 astone pointed a single and dropped to shot. The dogs were 

 taken up at 1:39 and Croxlill declared the winner. In speed 

 and range in the early pai't of the heat Thomastone was 

 superior, but as the heat progressed he seemed to lose his 

 courage, while on the other hand Croxill improved, and 

 was going much better at the last than when she started. 



LASS OE BLOOMO AND BOUNCE. 

 This brace was put down where the last brace finished at 

 1:42. A bevy soon flushed from weeds in near proximity to 

 the dogs. The birds were followed, and Lass pointed a single 

 and dropped to shot. She retrieved nicely to Pilchard's kill. 

 Bounce pointed a single. Poiudexter killed the bird, which 

 fell in heavy briei'S, and the dog did not find it. Richards 

 called point, but it proved to be a rabbit. The judges con- 

 sulted and sent the dogs on. Lass pointed a single and 

 dropped to wing. The dogs were taken up at 2:02 and the 

 heat given to Lass of Bloomo. She was best in style, range 

 and speed, and won deservedly. 



BERTRALDRO AND DOLLY' C, 

 This brace was put down in same field iu which the last 

 brace finished at 2:06. Dolly soon pointed a single near the 

 fence. On, both dogs wheeled to a point on open ground 

 near a pile of rails. Both handlers claimed and insisted on 

 the point belonging to his dog. The point, however, proved 

 to be false. The spectators then had a good laugh at the 

 handlers' expense. Dolly then pointed in stubble aud Ber- 

 traldro backed; nothing was found to the point. Quite an 

 amount of ground was then passed over without finding 

 any birds; but just as the handlers were leaving the field 

 Dolly made a cast to the right about 75yds., aud pointed a 

 bevy nicely near the fence and was steady to wing; Bertral- 

 dro backed nicely. The birds were followed to a thicket, 

 where each dog got a point. Bertraldro retrieved nicely to 

 Gleason's kill. The dogs were taken up at 3:22 and the heat 

 given to Dolly C. I think she was rightly placed, as she 

 had better range and speed and was entitled to a great deal 

 of credit for finding this bevy. 



Tlvird Series. 



LASS OF BLOOMO AND CROXLILL. 



This brace was put down in a cornfield at 3:37. Both dogs 

 roaded through corn to a patch of weeds, where Croxlill 

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

 birds were followed to stubble, where Lass pointed a single 

 nicely. On, Lass pointed, and three birds were flushecTto 

 the point. At the same time Lill pointed a single and was 

 steady to shot. Then Lass pointed a single. Ou, Lill pointed 

 a single, then Lass got three single points and won. The 

 dogs were taken up at 3:49. Lass was more rapid than Lill 

 in execution and was clearly entitled to the heat. 



Dolly C, a bye, ran a side heat while the other dogs were 

 down. 



Fourth Series. 



DOLLY fi. AND LASS OE BLOOMO. 

 This brace was put down at 4:04 where the last brace fin- 

 ished, to run for first prize. The dogs had only gone a few 

 yards when Dolly pointed a rabbit, then she flushed a single 

 bird in briers near a fence. Passed to a cornfield Lass flushed 

 a single and Dolly pointed a single nicely. Then she next 

 pointed a bevy. Lass pointed a single and flushed one. 

 The dogs were taken up at 4:26 and the heat unjustly given 

 to Lass of Bloomo. In this heat Dolly was quicker and 

 more accurate in her work than Lass, found and pointed the 

 most birds, and was in my judgment a much better dog in 

 every respect, and was clearly entitled to the heat. 



Fifth Scries. 



DOLLY C. AND CROXLILL. 

 This brace was put down in stubble at 4:32, to work on a 

 scattered bevy that had been flushed from the corn. Dolly 

 pointed and the birds got up all around her; she was per- 

 fectly steady to wing. The birds went to the woods and 

 were followed. In the woods Lill pointed where a bird had 

 been seen to flush from, Dolly backed. On, Dolly secured 

 three handsome points in one, two, three order, and won. 

 Lill backed all these points. The dogs were taken up at 

 4:42. The judges then placed Croxlill third.

 The drawing of the All-Aged Setter Stake resulted as 

 follows:

WEDNESDAY. 

 First Series. 



DON'S NELLTE AND QUAIL. 

 Mr. A. H. Fowler's black and white bitch Don's Nellie, 

 handled by Gleason, and Hon. Harry S. New's black, white 

 and tan bitch Quail, handled by Riley, were put down in a 

 stubble field at 8:27. The field was 'drawn blank; worked 

 through another field without finding. The judges ordered 

 the dogs up at 8:54. Both dogs showed considerable speed 

 and range. 



PRINCE LUCIFER AND SAM WELLER. 

 Mr. J. I. Case, Jr.'s black, white and tan dog Prince Luci- 

 fer, handled by Barker, and Mi. W. T. Hunter's black, 

 white and tan dog Sam Weller, handled by Richards, were 

 put down in a stubble field at 9:00, which was drawn blank, 

 passed to another stubble Prince, going down wind, flushed 

 two birds and stopped to wing, then he moved up and 

 pointed a siugle and retrieved to Barker's kill. The dogs 

 were talcen up at 9:19. In style, range and speed Prince was 

 much the best, Sam, however, showed considerable merit 

 and satisfied the judges that she was good enough to start 

 again. 



JERRY MANDAN AND NANNIE B. 



Mr. R. B. Morgan's black and white dog Jerry Mandan, 

 handled by owner 1 , and Dr. J. A. McLeod's liver and white 

 bitch Nannie B., handled by Barker, were cast off where the 

 last brace finished, at 9:23. Passed into corn Nannie pointed, 

 moved up and soon dropped to a point on a bevy, just as she 

 did this Jerry pointed the same birds. Nannie retrieved 

 nicely to Barker's kill, both dogs were steady to shot. On, 

 in stubble, Nannie pointed; Jerry refused to recognize the 

 point, went in ahead and pointed a single, and retrieved to 

 Morgan's kill. The dogs were taken up at 9:32. Iu range 

 and speed Nannie was superior. 



LILLY BURGES AND DAN FOREMAN. 



Mr. G. A. Day's orange and white bitch Lilly Burges, 

 handled by Richards, and Mr. A. H. Fowler's black, white 

 and tan dog Dan Foreman, handled by Gleason, were put 

 down in stubble where last brace finished at 9:47. Dan 

 pointed a single and Lilly backed, both were steady to wing; 

 the clogs were taken up at 9:47. Both showed good speed, 

 range and style. 



Second Series. 

 The judges decided that all the dogs were good enough to 

 start again. 



DON'S NELLIE AND QUAIL. 



This brace was put down in stubble on the Freeman farm 

 at 9:52. Nellie soon pointed a rabbit. A bevy soon flushed 

 wild and settled in another field. The birds were followed. 

 Quail pointed a single, and was steady, then she flushed one 

 and dropped to wing, then she pointed a single, broke shot 

 and retrieved the bird. On, she flushed a single. On, she 

 secured two more single points and won. The dogs were 

 taken up at 10:26. 



PRINCE LUCIFER AND SAM WELLER. 



This brace was put down where last brace finished at 10:30. 

 Prince soon pointed, and Sam backed. The point proved 

 barren. In going through a cornfield to another stubble a 

 bevy flushed wild and went to the woods. The birds were 

 followed. Sam pointed a bevy, Prince flushed a single, then 

 he backed Sam. On, Prince pointed near a thicket, nothing 

 found. In heavy brush and briers Prince pointed a rabbit. 

 Sam pointed a single in corn. Prince pointed, moved up 

 and flushed a single. Iu corn Prince pointed, moved up and 

 pointed again apparently on running birds, nothing was 

 found to the point. Crossed the road to another field, Prince 

 located and pointed a bevy very nicely, but moved up a little 

 when Barker wentiu to flush, Barker shot and killed, and 

 Prince retrieved. Part of the birds went down a draw where 

 they were followed, Prince got two single points. On going 

 down wind Sam got into a bevy before'he hardly knew it, he 

 dropped to a point and remained flat on the ground appar- 

 ently afraid to move lest he should flush the birds, he re- 

 mained in this position until Richards flushed and shot. 

 This was a very pretty piece of work. The birds were 

 followed. Prince made two points which proved barren. 

 The dogs were taken up at 11:55, and an adjournment had 

 for lunch. The dogs after lunch were taken to the Bunting 

 farm aud put down in a cornfield at 12:52, and were taken 

 up at 1:07, and the heat given to Prince Lucifer. This was 

 a long tiresome heat, run iu the middle of the day, when it 

 was a very hard matter to get any very brilliant work out of 

 the dogs. In style, range and speed Prince was the best, but 

 on game Sam was far superior. I think the heat should 

 have been given to Sam before lunch, and as nothing was 

 done when they were down the second time to warrant the 

 judges in giving the heat to Prince, they should have re- 

 versed the decision or given the dogs more time. 



NANNIE AND JERRY MANDAN. 



This brace was put down in a stubble field at 1:05. A bevy 

 flushed wild and went to cover. Jerry soon pointed a single 

 in the corn and retrieved nicely to Morgan's kill. Sent on 

 each dog got a single and behaved nicely. Then .Nannie 

 pointed, Jerry backed poorly, nothing was found to the 

 point. Jerry then got a point on a single. Next he flushed 

 a bevy, then Nannie flushed a single, then she pointed a 

 single and retrieved to Barker's kill. Jerry then false 

 pointed, then he pointed a single. Sent on Nannie pointed 

 a single, then she nailed another and won. The dogs were 

 taken up at 2:14. In style, speed and range Naunie was 

 superior, and the heat was rightly given to her. 



LILLY SURGES AND DAN FOREMAN. 



This brace was put down in an old weed field on the C. 

 Horu farm at 3:08. Lilly pointed near the fence, nothing 

 found to the point. Sent on she pointed a bevy, next she 

 flushed an outlying bird, then the bevy went. The birds 

 alighted in a stubble and were followed, Lilly flushed a sin- 

 gle, then she pointed and was steady to shot, she retrieved 

 the bird to Richard's kill. Both' dogs then roaded and 

 pointed, until Dan drew up On a single and was steady to 

 wing. Lilly then flushed a single. The dogs were taken 

 up at 3:30 and the heat given to Lilly Burges. The run- 

 ning should have been continued as the work done by Lilly 

 was not sufficiently brilliant to justify the judges in decid- 

 ing the heat in her favor at this time. In style Lilly was 

 the best, but in range and speed they were about equal. 

 Third Series. 



PRINCE LUCIFER AND QUAIL. 

 This brace was put down in the same field where the other 

 brace finished at 3:39. Prince pointed a bevy and retrieved 

 to Barker's kill. On, Prince pointed, moved up and flushed 

 a single. Then he pointed a bevy and Quail flushed a single. 

 The dogs were taken up at 3:59 and the heat justly given to 

 Prince Lucifer, who was superior to Quail in speed, range 

 and style, and who really had her beaten from the start. 

 LILLY BURGES AND NANNIE B. 



This brace was put down in an old weed field at 4:10.
