FOREST AND STREAM.

which Tucker shot and dog retrieved nicely. Dogs up after 

 this at 12:21. Shot has best speed and range, Doctor the 

 style. After lunch 



LASS OF BLOOMO AND ROCK II. 

 wereputdownin stnbble. Richards handled Lass of Bloomo 

 and Bradley Rock II. Both started fast, and after working 

 through stubble Rock stopped and winded in edge of thick 

 trees, and Bradley going to him he roaded through the 

 briers to a small pond, through which he swam, his handler 

 following, though the water was almost hip deep, to corn- 

 field and pointed nicely. Bradley flushed, killed and dog 

 retrieved. This was a capital piece of work, and was seen 

 only by Judge Tracy, who followed through the briers. 

 Dogs were then taken to another stubble, where Lass pointed 

 larks, Rock backing. After a long run a bevy was flushed 

 by one of the judges. Birds marked down in woods and 

 followed into cover, where Lass flushed, but stopped to wing. 

 Rock flushed and then Lass flushed the balance of birds. 

 Going on both pointed different birds. Richards flushed 

 and killed, and Lass broke in; she then retrieved. Rock's 

 bird rose at shot. Dogs were then ordered up at 2:08. Rock 

 has the best pace and range, and did some good work. This 

 finished the hrst series, and the ruling of the judges was as 

 follows: Hickory's Staunch against Frank W., Ightfield 

 Guelph against King of Kent, Zig Zag against Lass of 

 Bloomo, Shot against Rock It., Duke of Hessen against 

 Ightfield Deuce. 



Second Scries. 



HICKORY STAUNCH AND FRANK. W. , 

 Down at 2:95. In woods Frank W. pointed false, Staunch 

 backing indifferently. Through woods into a large stubble 

 a single was flushed by Frank W. Then after half an 

 hour's work a creek was'crossed and some time after Frank 

 W. was found pointing a bevy, which flushed as handler 

 came up. Dogs then ordered up at 3:35 after an unsatisfac- 

 tory heat. Frank best in range and pace. 



IGHTFIELD GUELPH AND KING OF KENT. 



Cast off at 3:38 in stubble when Kent soon pointed a covey 

 which was flushed and marked across the creek. Going 

 back to birds flushed in last heat a number of birds were 

 flushed by handlers and soon after the balance of them were 

 run into by Kent. Sent on Guelph pointed, but no bird 

 flushed. She soon after flushed a bird and then made a 

 good point on another single. Soou after a covey flushed in 

 high sedge but it was impossible to tell the cause. In woods 

 Kent pointed and Guelph passed and located some of the 

 same birds. Then Guelph flushed and Kent poi nted bird 

 that flushed wild, Dogs taken up. Down 35 minutes. 

 Judges consulted and dogs put down again. A bird was 

 flushed by handler and Kent pointed nicely where it got up. 

 Leaving these birds Kent soon found another and was 

 awarded the heat. Kent was the best in pace and range, 

 about equal in style. 



ZIG ZAG AND LASS OF BLOOMO. 



Down at 4:25. Zig Zag was a little wild at first. Lass 

 roaded and flushed a single, then pointed without result, 

 Zig then flushed a single down wind. On, Lass pointed a 

 rabbit, Zag backing. Zag seemed to be fond of fur, for be 

 picked up another. Lass backing this time, and then chased 

 bunnie which was started. They both then received a drub- 

 hing. Zig then pointed but failed to locate birds, Lass 

 • backing. Zig then moved on to locate, when Lass ran in 

 and flushed ths covey. There was nothing more of any con- 

 sequence done and dogs were ordered up at 5:12, when the 

 heat was awarded to Zig Zag. 



This ended the running for the first week, and now that 

 the new rule has been made it is to be hoped that next week 

 will see us well into the four-hour race at any rate. 



Monday. 



Lexington, N. C, Dec. 8.— Sunday was a pouring wet 

 dav, and every one was content to sit round the stoves and 

 talk dog. The prospect for fine weather for to-day was not 

 very bright. To-day dawned cold and wet, ice hanging 

 from every limb and leaf. A start was made about a 

 quarter of a mile from town in sedge, dogs down being 

 Tempsst and Sam R. for second place in the Setter Derby. 

 Both handlers rode, as the woods and grass were covere'd 

 with ice and evertbing was wet and soggy. After going for 

 half an hour without any prospect of game, and as it was 

 beginning to rain, we all returned home. The weather has 

 cleared a little toward evening, and it will very likely be 

 line to-morrow.

 suited in twenty dogs filling as follows:

Lexington, N. CL Dec. 9 — Special to Forest and Stream. 

 — Judges decided this morning without further running that 

 Rupert wins second and Sam R. third prizes in Setter Derby. 

 Started to-day at edge of town with Ian and Spotted Boy 

 down for absolute winner of Derby Stake, After running 

 an hour and fifty-four minutes, in which Boy made four 

 points to Ian's two points, two false and a single flush, the 

 judges decided Spotted Boy the winner. 



Then we proceeded with the All-Aged pointers. Shot 

 against Roek [I,, down thirty-two minutes, scores were 

 about equal when Shot was given the heat; it ought to have 

 been run longer. Then; Ightfield Deuce beat Duke of Hes- 

 sen in, forty-two minutes by two points to nothing. This 

 ended second series. 



Third series, King of Kent beat Frank W. in thirty-five 

 minutes; work on points about equal, but Frank made 

 several mistakes breaking in. Then Zigzag beat Shot after 

 running forty-two minutes, getting most points and doing 

 work in better style. 



Natalia ran against Gene in first series All- Aged Setter 

 Stake. Neither did very good work but Natalia the better. 



Deuce beat King of Kent in pointer stake, fourth series, 

 in thirty -nine minutes, two points to nothing, Zigzag a bye. 



Fred Gates and Cash Boy ran in Setter Stake for thirty 

 five minutes, one point on bevy for Fred, when darkness set 

 in, finishing over six miles from town. 



Weather fine and frosty. Zigzag and Deuce run for first 

 place to-morrow. 



Mr. Meyer has sold the champion Gordon setter Beaumont 

 and Bellmont to C. M. Hunt, owner Claire-Reeta Kennels, 

 Palmyra, New York. Doctor reserves right to run them in 

 the Gordon trials, H. W. L. 



Lexington, N. C, Dec. 10.— Special to Forest and Stream: 

 Ightfield Deuce won the pointer All-Aged. King of Kent 

 beat Duke of Hessen and will run for second with Zig Zag, 

 Weather fine.— H. W. Lacy. 



THEY SAY 



That though we are not moving at quite such a high 

 pressure of speed as at High Point, there are just as many 

 birds found by the dogs. 



That it is easier to go slow than fast, but that it is very 

 monotonous to follow two "duffers" for an hour; so the half 

 hour amendment rule is a move in the right direction. 



That Mr. "Rip Rap" Dexter is a sportsman of the right 

 kind, follows the trials every day, and takes defeat or victory 

 with equal complacency. 



That Tom Aldrich must look to his laurels, for another 

 "lawyer" has appeared on the horizon, furnishing the boys 

 with much amusement. 



That Frank Richards can handle the violin almost as well 

 as he handled Spotted Boy in the Pointer Derby. That those 

 who forsook the attractions of the club room for the greater 

 charms of the hotel parlor, had no reason to regret it when 

 Frank took up the bow and our genial hostess, Mrs. March, 

 accompanied him on the piano. 



That the judges at the Central Trials are painstaking and 

 careful but that toward Saturday there was hardly so much 

 enthusiasm as at the beginning of the week. The novelty 

 and the skin sometimes wear off together. 



That the reporters though tired are still in the running. 



That the Gordon men are out. in force, comparatively 

 speaking, and that Dr. "Beaumont" Meyer and "Bendigo" 

 Hunt are delighted with the condition in which the genial 

 "Billy" has their dogs. 



That no one begrudged the. Englishmen Tan's win in the 

 Setter Derby, and that this sort of hunting just suits them. 

 That Cameron is a past master at the business and can 

 always put his dog just where he wants him to go. 



That there was wailing and grinding of teeth wheu Tory 

 Lieutenant went. down. He was an overwhelming favorite 

 and many pockets are lighter because of their owner's mis- 

 placed confidence, and Bendigo Hunt's doggerel scored im- 

 mensely. 



That "Reverdy" O'Bauuon, Dr. Meyer, R. H. Hoy, Samuel 

 Crotters, E. E. Cullen and L. Fisher are welcome visitors at 

 the trials. 



That the clu b room at Lexington is just what is needed at 

 a gathering of this sort, affording means for social inter- 

 course that helps to pass what would otherwise be a dull 

 hour. 



That the weather Monday morning was enough to daunt 

 the enthusiasm of the kennel sportsman. That a little rain 

 won't hurt any one, but the ice was a little too much. 



That W. S. Titus's picture of Smith's "shoo" flush was a 

 great hit. 



That S. C. Bradley has no need of a horse to see his dogs 

 work. 



That we are all glad of a rest. 

 That our apologies are due to Canine World for this 

 heading, but we could think of nothing more appropriate. 



H. W. L. 



DOG CHAT. 



THERE is little doubt but that with two prominent doggy 

 journals advocating whippet racing that this exciting 

 sport wiU soon find many friends in England who will 

 raise it to a standing where it will find the in- 

 dorsement of men of influence and position. From the 

 Canine World we learn that a number of gentlemen have 

 an idea of forming a club at once to foster the sport, run- 

 ning the dogs of course among themselves for the time 

 being, so as to keep out the "ringers" and objectionables. 

 There are so many men in this country, and especially in 

 this city and Brooklyn, who are fond of greyhounds and in- 

 dulge their dogs in a run across field or along a straight bit 

 of road whenever they can get the chance, therefore it would 

 not be much of a step for them to indulge their fancy in 

 this respect, by the training and running of a whippet or 

 two, dogs which can run any greyhound off its legs in a dis- 

 tance of 200yds. The sport is harmless, interferes with no 

 existing laws, and is devoid of the slightest element of 

 cruelty, the dogs themselves showing, by their eagerness to 

 be slipped, their appreciation of the fun. If some one will 

 make the first move there are many, we are certain, who 

 will follow suit. 



Referring to Benbow's run against time at London, Ont , 

 last September, in which this dog did the 206yds. in 12%, 

 "Peto," in Canine World, says that this is by no means a 

 world's record, and adds that the owner of Benbow would 

 be surprised to know that his dog would be beaten by about 

 12yds. by some of the dogs in England, and that 205yds. in 

 12 seconds must be done before a world's record can be 

 claimed, this being the time made by a big dog, Bonnie 

 Boy. He further states that a dog called Jim that was 

 sent over to this country and did some winning is now 

 back again and doing some winning in the Lancashire 

 handicaps. 



This word of recognition of the services of the Spratts people 

 from Canine World, is as true of America as of Great Britain : 

 "The growth and improvement of dog shows and of matters 

 pertaining to them have, in fact, been entirely due to in- 

 dividual effort. And among the many factors in the de- 

 velopment and improvement of our system of dog shows, 

 one, and perhaps the most powerful of them all, is never, or 

 hardly ever, mentioned in any way. The Kennel Gazette in 

 one of the earlier issues of this year did indeed mention this 

 matter, in terms which are as follows: 'Fortunately for 

 our dogs, the work of benching is largely in the hands of 

 one firm— a firm that has done much for dogs and for dog 



shows, and which will, undoubtedly, as a matter of business, 

 take the necessary steps for proper disinfection, as soon as it 

 is made quite clear what is actually needed.' No truer 

 words were ever written, for Spratts Patent have, indeed, 

 done much for dogs and for dog shows. In fact, when we 

 consider the trouble and expense attached to the proper 

 benching, and feeding, and caring for 1,000 dogs, for three or 

 four days, it is easy to see that average comraitteps would 

 have hesitated about takiug on so heavy a task. So that it 

 is but faint praise to say that the firm which, as a matter of 

 business pure and simple, is always at hand, ready to under 

 take and to carry out this heavy work,, has done much for 

 dogs and for dog shows. And it is certain that the assist 

 ance thus given has had a great deal to do with the improve- 

 ment of dog shows." 



THE "DEAL" OF THE RUSSIAN WOLFHOUND 

 ELSIE.— Editor Forest and, Stream: Please allow me to say 

 that the statements of Mr. Huseroft on Dec. 6, as far as they 

 affect the bitch Elsie, Mr. Lloyd and me, are strictly correct, 

 bailing a strict interpretation on the word bargain as incor- 

 porated in Mr. Huscroft's censure of Mr. Rosseau, there 

 having been absolutely no bargain whatever. Having 

 succeeded in demonstrating his ignorance of the breed, and 

 that the progeny of the despised Elsie and Krilutt can beat 

 his pet Zloeem, "the best Barzoi out of Russia" I hope Mr. 

 Rosseau will subside.— W. WADE (Hulton, Pa., Dec. 6). 



LYNN SHOW. — The following gentlemen will judge at 

 the coming bench show to be held March 24 to 27, 1891, at

 hounds, collies, fox terriers, bulldogs and bull -terriers. Dr. 

 H. Clay Glover, pointers, setters and spaniels. Mr. R. F. 

 Mayhew all other classes.— D. A. Williams, Sec'y.
