FOREST AND STREAM, 



[Nov. 27, 1890, 



son, and Tory Lieutenant, handled by John White, were put 

 down in sedge grass near cornfield. Tory at once began to 

 show his speed arid range. Working to woods Tory pointed 

 in hedge, birds being on the other side. Tory roaded on 

 down: both dogs made game in sedge grass and then Tory 

 pointed, when birds flushed all round; dogs steady to wing. 

 Dogs then went on in bottom, where a reporter found Tory 

 on a point in long s c dge grass. White flushed the bird, 

 both dogs steady. On, Tory pointed in pines, no bird. Wil- 

 liam H. roaded the bird and put it up. The judges then 

 consulted and dogs were ordered back. Working over a lot 

 of ground, both in woods and open, and nothing being 

 found, dogs were ordered up at 2:50. Tory showed his supe- 

 riority in style, speed and range. 



WHYTE BEDFORD AND SAM R. 



These two English setters were cast off at 2:55 in high 

 sedge grass. The former was handled by Tucker and the 

 latter by Titus. Both dogs started off at a good gait through 

 some pines into open fields, then back into pines. Whyte 

 B., by a ditch, pointed birds, which Tucker flushed, dog 

 steady to shot and wing. Sent on in sedge Whyte B. roaded 

 to top of hill and then Titus flushed a single in pine woods, 

 which dogs had passed. Brought back to where birds had 

 been Whyte B. got another point. Dogs sent on, several 

 fields were worked through hedge of woods, when in brush 

 Whyte B. pointed again; Tucker shot, both steady. Whyte 

 B. got another point in sedge, Tucker flushed. Sam R. 

 coming to a point to the right Titus put up, shot and 

 several more flushed, both steady to shot and wing. A few 

 minutes after dogs were ordered up at 3:45. Both showed 

 good range and speed. 



VANITY FAIR AND IAN. 



Vanity Fair, handled by Hyde, and Ian by Cameron, were 

 put down at 3:55 in corn. Both started off well. Soon Ian 

 roaded to a point on a covey in hedge row, Vanity Fair 

 backed nicely; Cameron flushed birds, both steady to wing. 

 On in corn both dogs got a point, and several birds flushed 

 wild, Sent after scattering birds in weeds Vanity Fair 

 roaded to a flush on a single, steady to wing. Ian pointed 

 in woods, birds gone on, then he roaded to a point in pines, 

 when Cameron flushed; dog steady to shot and wing. 

 Further on, Vanity was found on a staunch point, Ian 

 backed, Hyde shot and killed, both dogs steady. Out of 

 woods, both dogs were ordered through a cornfield, where, 

 on edge of brush, Ian came to a point; sent in to flush, he 

 put up a covey; steady to wing. Vanity coming up roaded 

 where birds had got up. Dogs, further on in weeds, were 

 ordered up at 4:35. Ian showed more range and speed, equal 

 in style. 



QUEEN VIC AND PEARLINE. 

 At 4:3", in open field, Queen Vic. handled by Chas. 

 Barker, and Pearline by W. B. Anderson, were east off. 

 Vic soon pointed a covey and Pearline backed, birds flushed. 

 On, Queen Vic flushed a single in high grass. Queen Vic 

 here ranged out of sight; brought back, both were sent on 

 over some fields, when dogs were taken up and put down at 

 4:45 in stubble. Pearline then ranged way off in cornfield 

 and was brought back. After some more ranging through 

 sedge grass dogs were ordered up at 5:20 and a start made 

 for town. Neither did very good work, Pearline having a 

 slight advantage. 



Wednesday. 



RAZZLE AND TYKE. 

 The meet to-day was near the town, weather being bright 

 and frosty. The above dogs were put down at 8:17 in sedeje 

 grass. Razzle was handled by S. C. Bradley and Tyke, the 

 English dog, by Cameron. Both dogs worked through the 

 woods but nothing was found, then a lot of ranging was 

 done in the open, mostly in sedge grass, for about 45m. 

 Then at edge of field Razzle pointed a bevy, steady to shot 

 and wing. Then Tyke roaded into woods when he flushed 

 a single, and then pointed another close to it, which flushed, 

 dog steady to wing both times. Out into corn, some more 

 ranging was indulged in but no game being found the dogs 

 were ordered Hp at 9:23. Razzle had a little the best of it 

 throughout in speed and range. Tyke did a good deal of 

 pottering work, pointing repeatedly and then moving on. 



TRAP, JR., AND MAID OF KENT. 

 Trap, handled by Geo. Grey, Maid of Kent by C. E. Buckle, 

 were put down in stubble field at 9:50. Maid soon got a 

 point on a covey in ditch, Trap backing nicely, Buckle shot, 

 both steady to shot and wing. Ranging off into high arass. 

 Maid pointed a single and roading on two more flushed 

 directly afterward, another of the same bevy got up a few 

 yards further on: Trap then pointed the same birds, Grey 

 shot, both steady. In edge of woods, Trap pointed again, 

 the birds flushing. In woods Maid then worked on to the 

 birds and pointed several singles in quick succession, show- 

 ing good nose and clean work; Trap pointed again, when 

 dogs were ordered up at 10:10. Both dogs ranged wide but 

 Maid of Kent showed the better work and will, of course, 

 stay in. This finished the first series and the judges then 

 consulted, having now reached the Model farm. After one 

 hour and twenty minutes lounging a decision was arrived 

 at, and Tapster, Tory Lieutenant, Maid of Kent, remained 

 in for second series, but it was decided to give Whyte Bed- 

 ford, Ian, Phceness, Nellie Bly, Sam R., Trap, Jr., 'Rupert, 

 Dill, Tyke and Razzle another chance to show what they 

 could do. After lunch a start was make with 



RAZZLE AND IAN 

 in stubble at 11:45. The following heats were most of them 

 of short duration. In a few minutes lan made game, and a 

 single flushed ahead of him by the side of the woods. Then 

 Razzle roaded to a point in a ditch in sedge field: then a 

 point was made by Ian, another by Razzle and another by 

 Ian, all on scattered birds. Dogs were then ordered up at 

 12 M. After lunch the next two, 



PHCENESS AND NELLIE BLY, 

 were put down at 12:46 in weeds. Phceness false pointed in 

 woods. After working through the dogs were taken up till 

 1:12. when they were put down in the open in sedge grass. 

 Nell roaded to a point in corn, but nothing came of it; dogs 

 were then ordered up at 1:20 P. M., having found no game. 

 SAM R. AND TRAP, JR. 

 These two were put down at 1:22 in a cornfield. Working 

 over into weeds and sedge both dogs ranged well ahead. 

 Sam R. coming to a point on a covey at edge of woods was 

 backed by Trap. Titus shot, both dogs steady. This was a 

 very pretty piece of work, putting every one into good 

 spirits again, as it gets monotonous riding along field after 

 field without finding. Sam R. then made another point, 

 and sent in to find made a wide cast, but nothing came of 

 it. Sam hunted alone through woods, and coming back 

 roaded to a point; then he pointed another bird in a fallen 

 tree and was Ordered up at 1:45, having done some good 

 work, showing better speed and range than the other dog. 

 RUPERT AND DILL. 



Down at 1:47 in sedge grass and ranging out well ahead, 

 Rupert made a point on covey; birds put up and dog steady 

 to shot and wing, Then he scored two poiuts on the scat- 

 tered birds. Dill flushed and then roaded on, when jud°-es 

 ordered dogs up at 2.-16. Both ranged wide and were equal 

 in style and speed. 



RAZZLE AND TYKE. 

 Tyke, the pointer, and Razzle, English setter, were put 

 down at 2:22 at the edge of some pines. Tyke false pointed- 

 he is uncertain in his work and looks too much to his hand- 

 ler, as most of the English dogs do. On, Razzle pointed a 

 covey by the roadside; birds flushed, dogs steady to shot and 



wing. Here, the World reporter, Mr. Morton, got a nasty 

 kick in the back, but a drop of medicine soon put him in 

 the saddle again. Razzle in woods made a fine point, and 

 Tyke also got a point on the same bird, both steady towing. 

 Dogs up at 2:42. Razzle did more clever and dashing work. 



The judges uoav consulted as to which should remain in 

 with the others in second series, and decided that Tory 

 Lieutenant, Tapster, Sam R. and Maid of Kent should run 

 off for the stakes in the order named. 



Second Series. 



TORY LIEUTENANT AND TAPSTER. 

 These two were put down in open fields at 3:22. Tapster 

 started off at a clipping gait and soon made a good point on 

 a covey in edge of pines, Tory backing nicely, dogs steady to 

 shot and wing. Roading on, Tory secured point on some 

 birds, and then Tapster, called up to back, went in ahead 

 and flushed two birds, but Tory did not budge. Further on 

 each scored a single. Tory in a sedge field then pointed a 

 covey and Tap backed, both steady to shot and wing. The 

 dogs were then ordered up at 3:45. Both showed good work, 

 but Tory was more finished in his style of going up to his 

 game and was a little the speedier and wider in range. 

 Judges now consulted for some minutes and then ordered 

 the next brace, 



SAM R. AND MAID OF KENT, 

 down at 3:55, where the other two had been taken up. After 

 ranging over all kinds of country for more than an hour, 

 dogs being taken up and held for more likely ground two or 

 three times, making a very tedious hunt, Maid came to a 

 point in sedge grass and Sani backed nicely, both steady to 

 shot and wing. Following birds over into woods Sam 

 pointed again by the side of a fence, but birds had run on. 

 Dogs were then ordered up at 5:10 and no one was at all 

 sorry. This was the poorest game day during the week. 

 After supper, the judges decided that F. R. Hitchcock's 

 Tor5 r Lieutenant should take first prize, Tapster second, and 

 Maid of Kent and Sam R. divided third money. The decision 

 was received with approbation, and the healths of owner, 

 breeder, handler and dog were toasted right royally in the 

 club room,

 ford handled Guelph and John White had charge of Tory. 

 The weather was as usual bright and cool, wind south 

 Tory at once started off at his usual fast gait, ranging wide. 

 After some twenty minutes' work Tory pointed a covey by 

 a ditch and was steady to shot and wing. On in pines Tory 

 scored again, and moving on got another, which Guelph 

 backed. Tory then was taken up and Guelph worked on 

 alone, and while ranging came to a sudden point. Birds 

 put up, dog steady to shot and wing, and retrieved bird

 and wing. Daisy made another point on scattered birds, 

 and Inchiquin roaded to a point without result. Inchiquin 

 roaded on but found nothing. In pines Daisr made a point 

 on single bird, steady to shot and wing. Inchiquin was

 flushed. Irwin shot, dog steady to shot and wing. Ordered 

 up at 10:22. Daisy was the faster and wider ranger, and 

 showed more style. 



DARRAGH PAT AND DUKE OF HESSEN. 

 These two were put down at 10:30 in open field. Pat was 

 handled by W. Tallman and Duke of Hessen by John White. 

 Duke at once started off at a good clip; in fact, both dogs 

 ranged well, but Duke was the faster. In about twenty 

 minutes Pat pointed a covey in a ditch, which flushed wild; 

 dog steady to wing. Duke soon got on to the same birds 

 and pointed in edge of sedge grass; birds put up, White shot 

 and killed: dog steady to shot and wing, retrieving bird 

 nicely. Pat then pointed in corn patch, then roaded on and 

 shortly pointed again, when a single flushed, Tallman shot

 grass; but nothing was found. Tallman in pines then 

 walked up a single, which Bandana had passed and the

 moved on following the foot scent; further on Bandana got 

 on to the main covey, and Grouse coming up backed nicely. 

 Hyde fired, both steady to shot and wing. Sent on over 

 rough ground into pines Grouse got a point on the marked 

 covey. Tallman flushed, dogs steady. Grouse then pointed

 of woods alongside a stream, a single flushed w T hile Harry 

 was in the water. Dogs up at 2:40. Harry had better range 

 and style, Sarsfield, for a dog of his age, did gor-d work and 

 ranged well. He completely upset the~rumors as to his gun- 

 shyness and unfitness for the field. 



TILLIE BORU AND ANTOINE. 



These two were put down at 2:45 in sedge grass. Both 

 dogs were handled by their respective owners. They started 

 off at a good gait, and Antoine soon got on to a covey, 

 pointed and was backed nicely by Tillie; birds were flushed, 

 but not shot at. Antoine then pointed two of the covey in 

 pines, Tillie coming on backed, both steady to wing. On
