FOREST AND STREAM. 



[Jak. ^, 1S91. 



to type. Black Diamond, looking in good shape, easily de- 

 feated Tuck, who is too curly coated and far too long in 

 the legs. In challenge cocker bitches that nice little cocker 

 Novel was alone, she was nicely shown. Black Duke only 

 just succeeded in getting in front of Banjo, who is a little 

 too cobby at present. Duke just beats him in bone, and is 

 cleaner in neck and shoulders, where the other is too .short 

 and heavy, Banjo is shorter backed but not so straight in 

 coat. Idea had an easy win in bitches, she has filled out 

 nicely since Ottawa. Bessie W., though not in good flesh, 

 beat Hasel Obo in coat, which is too curly. In any other 

 color Red Doc, well known, was alone, and so was Beauty, 

 who is too much out in front.

COLLIES. 



Bonnie Brae was alone in the challenge class for bitches, 

 she was hardly in her usual bloom. Roslya Dandy far out- 

 classed the others in the dog class. Dr. May's dog is too 

 thick in head, but is in nice coat. The others were the usual 

 out of town type. In bitches Mischief's nice body and coat 

 won the i^rize, though her head is too short and thick; 

 Beatrice is better in this respect, though far from correct. 

 The others, though nice in coat, were very faulty in head, 

 eyes and limbs. Beatrice won the puppy prize without 

 competition.

 sie. Puppies — 1st, Dr. John May's Beatrice, 



POODLES. 



Dr. S. G. Dixon's black dog Paris won the only entry, and 

 were he clipped would be just a fair one. 



PUGS. 



Bob Ivy, in challenge dogs, was alone, and looked as well 

 as I ever saw him; he improves with age. Vesta also had 

 matters to herself in the corresponding class. Bradford 

 Rowdy just managed to secure the blue ribbon, being in 

 better condition than Kash, Jr., who excels him slightly in 

 head and body. In bitches Nellie Bly, a littte above herself 

 in flesh, somewhat easily beat the long-muzzled Daisy K, , 

 and Nelly got all she deserved with he. She is faulty in 

 head and body. In puppies, Kash, Jr., despite his condition, 

 won easily over Nellie.

 Puppies— 1st, Seminole Kennel'.s Kash, Jr.; 2d, C. A. Monta- 

 gue's Nellie. 



BULL-TEEPaEKS. 



In dogs Woodbury Kennels' White Stubbs was alone: he 

 was looking well. Meg Merrilies also won in her class with- 

 out competition, though a wash would have done her good; 

 she was otherwise in fine shape, and Stubbs was almost fit 

 for a battle. 



BA.SSETS. 



Associated Fanciers' Mauprat was alone and looked truly 

 disgusted when the .secretary asked "What in heaven's 

 name is that thing?" 



DACHSHUNDE. 



B. F. Lewis's now well known Gill was alone and won; 

 she was looking sleek and well. 



BEAGLES. 



Little Duke, shown fat, but as lively as ever, had the 

 challenge class to himself. Couut, in open dogs, is too long 

 and straight-faced and a bit on the large size. Prince Fay 

 was absent. Quite a nice little bitch in Flossy turned up in 

 the next class and was far ahead of Countess Fay in head 

 and body. Spider, he, is a bit large and eoai-se. Baby, 

 though a rather nicely made one, is a bit pig-jawed. Snow 

 was over size— 15?4in. 



Challenge— Dogs: 1st, H. Bennett's Little Duke. Open- 

 Dogs: 1st, Sunset Kennels' Count. Bitches, 1st, Sunset 

 Kennels' Flossy; 2d, Associated Fanciers' Countess Fay. 

 High com., H. j. Bennett'.s Spider. Com., Sunset Kennels' 

 Baby. Puppies: 1st withheld; 2d, Sunset Kennels' Baby. 

 (•'OX-TEEPvIERS. 



Challenge dogs had the old-time Blemton Volunteer for 

 the winner, looking well, and in the corresponding class 

 Blemton Brilliant, getting a bit wide and thick, was also 

 alone. Suffolk Risk's good front and long pitnishing head 

 put him;ahead of Oriole Trap, though the former looked a 

 trifle leggy alongside him. Boots is a fairish one, nice head 

 but a little long cast in body; feet are also faulty. Blemton 

 Ransack is far too thick in head, otherwise a nice cobby, 

 good-legged little fellow. In bitches. Verdict beats Mar- 

 joram in legs, feet and bone. Vice, though too small, beat 

 Nelly in coat and back. Hillside Diana loses in skull, too 

 thick, and also in legs and feet. Hillside Marchioness is 

 almost blind in one eye from an ulcer, but has nice body, 

 legs and feet, and would have been placed higher but for 

 the eye. Two fair little puppies were shown, and Marchioness 

 had again to fall back for the above reason. 



Challenge— Dogs: 1st, Oriole Kennels' Blemton Volun- 

 teer. Bitches: 1st, Oriole Kennels' Blemton Brilliant. 

 Open— Dogs; 1st, C. L. Wilton's Suffolk Risk; 2d, Oriole 

 Kennels' Oriole Nap. Reserve, E. P. Jervey's Boots. Very 

 high com., Oriole Kennels' Blemton Ransack. Bitches: 1st,

 joram. Very high com.. Oriole Kennels' Vice. High com., 

 C. D. McCoy's Nelly. Com., A. E. Shaw's Hillside Diana. 

 Puppies: lat and 2d, Oriole Kennels' Oriole Rage and Oriole 

 Dixie. High com., A. E. Shaw's Hillside Marchioness, 



Though several vrire hairs were entered and shipped, they 

 did not arrive at the show. 



lEISH TEHEIEBS. 



The old stager, Lewis & Jarrett's Burnsides, had it all to 

 himself; he was in full feather. 



SCOTCH TERRIERS. 

 Sunset Kennels' Fanny Fern, an old winner, was alone in 

 the challenge class. In bitches. Sunset Kennels' ^ Brawnie, 

 rather a nice one, was the only entry and was given the 

 prize. She is a bit short-faced, but good in coat, bone and 

 body. 



BLACK AND TAN TEREIEES. 



RocheUe Kennels had no competition against their The 

 Senator in dog class. It is not too much to say he was 

 in much better shape as regards flesh, but his coat will need 

 special attention for New York. In bitches English Ladj' is 

 a nice stamp of bitch, not so good in miirkings as the dog, 

 but better in ears and condition. Fancy lacks pencilinga 

 and thumb marks and her tan is washy. 



Open— Dogs: 1st, RocheUe Kennels' The Senator. Bitches: 

 1st, Rochelle Kennels' English Lady; 2d, Miss Clara Rit- 

 ter's Fancy. 



SKY TERRIERS. 



CliflEord A. Shinn's well-known Sir Stafford had the chal- 

 lenge class to himself and was shown in very nice shape . In 

 open dogs the well-knovra Lovett scored alone, and in bitches 



Lady Countess, light in color, but in better coat than I 

 have seen her before, had no competition. Afterward Sir 

 Stafford and Lovett came together for a special. The former 

 won, beating the latter in head, ears, length of body and 

 bone. 



Challenge-Dogs and Bitches; 1st, Clifford A. Shinn's Sir 

 Stafford. Open— Dogs: 1st, Woodbury Kennels' Lovett. 

 Bitches— 1st, M. H. York's Lady Countess. 



ITALIAN GREYHOUNDS. 



A. P. Hazard showed two fair ones; the winner. Fedora, is 

 too full in the skull, but has better legs and feet and depth 

 of chest than the pup Dan. 



MISCELLANEOUS CLASS. 

 Only a fair little toy-terrier showed up in this class, and if 

 the hair can be kept on it woiild do to show elsewhere.

SOUTHERN SPORTSMEN'S ASSOC'N TRIALS. 



Monday, Jan, 12. 



'■PHE trials held at Lafayette, La., did not open favorably, 

 J- as the weather was cloudy and windy. Toward noon 

 it was warmer, getting cold again toward evening. Owing 

 to recent heavy rains the grounds were unfavorable and 

 very heavy for walking. Cover was very heavy, especially 

 so in the bottoms, and rendered good work almost impossi- 

 ble. The birds are very wild, and conseouently little satis- 

 factory work can be done. The Members' Derby closed 

 with six entries. 



WUJT LWe AffD THE GHOST. 



F. F. Myles's English setter dog Wun Limg and Omer 

 Villere's English setter dog The Ghost; the latter by Bob 

 McCargo— Winnie D. They were put down in an open field 

 and ran for half an hour, Wun Lung doing best work on 

 birds, being staunch and using good judgment— one of the 

 best puppies I have seen. The Ghost, on the contrary, was 

 not up to his work, flushing and chasing several times. 

 Wun Lung won easily. 



ROMP AND JESSE JAMES. 



Mr. J. K. Renaud's white pointer dog Romp with Mr, F. 

 F, Myle-s's black, white and tan dog Jesse James, by Yazoo 

 —Dimple, were cast off at 9:1T and ran until 10:03. Romp 

 did most of the work on birds, two bevies being found. He 

 had better pace, range and judgment. During the heat he 

 unfortunately cut himself in the foreleg on a wire fence, 

 but stuck to it quite pluckily and eventually won. Jesse 

 James was not under good control. 



NELLIE BLY AND YUM YUM. 



Mr. F. F. Myle's English setter bitch Nelly Bly, by Bruce 

 —Enid, against C. A. Geison's Yum Yum, starting at 10;lo 

 continued till 10:51, then ordered up till other ground was 

 reached at 11:05, when they were sent off again. Soon after, 

 birds were flushed by horsemen in an open cornfield. The 

 dogs were worked to them, each scoring a point, though 

 they ought to have scored more. Nelly had best speed and 

 range, but her work on bii-ds was not good. Nelly was 

 declared the winner at 13:15 P. M. 



Second Series. 



WUN LUNG AND ROMP. 



These two were sent away at 13:56 in an open field. Romp 

 showed signs of the cut he had received, and, though game, 

 he could not do his be.st. He found the two bevies in the 

 heat, doing best work on birds, working with rare judgment, 

 but this did not overcome the better pace, range, style 

 and single-point work of Wun Lung, who eventually won, 

 with nothing to spare. 



Nelly Bly ran a bye. 



Third Scries. 



WUN LUNG AND NELLY BLY. 



liuncheou over, at 3:26 these two were put down for first 

 money. Wun Lung pointed a sparrow. Then pointed 

 staunchly near ditch— his actions denoted great excitement 

 —and a possum was found. Mr. Miles amused himself and 

 others by holding it up by the tail. Nelly then tried to locate 

 birds but failed. In the same cottonfield Wun made a flush, 

 he next stopped to wing aud made a point, bird flushing 

 directly afterward. He then roaded a bird some distance 

 and secured a good point. Nelly followed with a point, but 

 nothing was found. Dogs ordered up at 3:12. Wun Lung 

 won. He was better in style, pace and range, though there 

 was little work done on birds by either dog,s. This decided 

 first money. 



By request of those interested the club's officers consented 

 that the other prizes should be awarded without further 

 running. The judges then placed Romp .second. Nelly Bly 

 and The Ghost dividing third. Thus ended the Derby.

THE ALL-AGED STAKE (MEMBERS'). 



The running of this stake began at once and dogS were 

 drawn to run as follows: 



Omer Villere's pointer Crocket against J. K. Renaud's 

 pointer Romp. 



A. Cardona's pointer dog Dan against R. B. Parker's set- 

 ter dog Glen. 



F. F. Myles's setter dog Bob McCargo against Omer Vil- 

 lere's setter bitch Queen Ella Noble. 



R. W. Foster's setter dog Capt. Bethel against F. F. Myles's 

 setter Ben Hur. 



J. K. Renaud's pointer Lottery against F. F, Myles's setter 

 bitch Nelly Bly. 



Omer Villere's setter dog Lee against F. F. Myles's Win- 

 nie D. 



F. F, Myles's Gordon setter dog Stubble against N. T. 

 Harris's setter bitch Dimple. 



As Mr. J. K. Renaud had to serve as judge, they wei*e not 

 run in the above order. He withdrew his entries of Romp 

 and Lottery. The running followed as given in the follow- 

 ing account. 



First Series. 



GLEN AND DAN. 



Mv, R, B. Parker's English setter dog Glen and Mr. A. 

 Cardona's liver and white pointer dog Dan were put down 

 at o:36. This was a long and unsatisfactory heat on bad 

 grounds, with heavy cover, giving dogs hard work with 

 little satisfaction to judges, as they could with difficulty 

 see the work done. Good work was impossible. Glen was the 



better m pace, range and style, doing best work on game. 

 Dogs ordered up at 4:50. Glen won. A start for town was 

 then made. But as a bevy was soon flushed, which 

 settled in an open field quite near, the next brace was then 

 called and was sent on. Messrs. Harris and Renaud were 

 the judges. 



BOB M'CAEGO AND QUEEN 6LLA NOBLE. 

 F. F. Myles's English setter dog Bob McCargo and Omer 

 Villere s English setter bitch Queen Ella NobFe had a short 

 run, but little work. The Queen found a point, was steady 

 and retrieved. She had better speed, though Bob McCargo 

 had better range. 



BEN HUR AND CAPTAIN BETHEL. 

 R. W. Foster's English setter dog Captain Bethel, by 

 Gordon— Blanch, against F. F. Myles's English setter dog 

 Ben Hur, by Paul Gladstone— Lottie, were cast off at 9;10. 

 Shortly after, birds flushed in a cornfield. The bevy settled 

 in heavy cover. Sending the dogs in each secured a point. 

 Captain working in open, made a point and Ben Hur was 

 called up to back, but nothing was found, but the Captain 

 had been held too long and bird had ample time to get away. 

 Ben next pointed in corn, the Captain backed well but 

 spoiled the good work by drawing in ahead. Nothing was 

 found to the point. The dogs were then taken up and 

 moved quite a distance and put down again after 43on. In 

 corn a single bird flushed, Ben pointing a bevy; Mr. Myles 

 shot and killed; Ben broke shot and made an indifferent re- 

 trieve. The heat then ended at 10:53 in favor of Ben Hur. 

 This decision was rendered too quickly, as really not enough 

 work had been done. Captain's good speed and range offset 

 Ben Hur's limited work on birds. At this point Mr. Renaud 

 withdrew both Nelly Bly and Lottery in order that he might 

 judge. 



LEE AND WIN:NIE D. 



Omer Villere's English setter dog Lee against F. F. 

 Myles's setter bitch Winnie D. were cast off at 11:07. Lee 

 started off with a flush, then pointing some remaining birds, 

 but in a short time he moved on and flushed. Winnie, going 

 at good speed, dropped to a point, the birds soon after 

 fiushed wild. Moving on to cotton patch Lee pointed and 

 Winnie backed; roading on Lee finally located birds in 

 weeds by a ditch; flushing birds, Lee started to chase but 

 stopped to order, Each made a flush, near hedge, on scat- 

 tered birds. Lee followed with a point on some birds in 

 hedge, and heat ended 11:20. Lee winning, having done the 

 best work on birds. Winnie was better in pace and range. 

 CROCKET AND NELLIE BLY. 



Omer Villere's Crocket against F. F. Myles's English set- 

 ter bitch Nellie Bly (Bruce— Enid), were put down at 11:49. 

 Mr. Fo.ster acted as judge instead of Mr. Harris. The dogs 

 were given a long heat in order to decide their merits. 

 Finally, at 1:33, they were ordered up for want of merit, and 

 were consequently out of the race. 



DIMPLE AND STUBBLE. 



N. T. Harris's English setter bitch Dimple against F. F. 

 Myles's Gordon dog Stubble. At 2:13 this brace started off 

 at a good speed, ranging wide. Dimple found first, pointing 

 a bevy in a cotton field, She was steady to wing. Moving 

 on she soon pointed another bevy, winning the heat at the 

 end of thirty minutes. Dimple worked her ground well. 

 Equal in speed and range. This brought the first series to a 

 close. 



Second Series. 



GLEN AND QUEEN ELLA NOBLE. 



Cast off at 3:15, the heat commenced in a cornfield. Glen 

 soon flushed a bevy and was unsteady to wing. Glen iJointed 

 a single one of the scattered birds; it rose quickly afterward. 

 He next pointed and a single bird got up behind him. Queen 

 came around that way and pointed the remaining birds of 

 bevy. Glen was entitled to the credit of the find, the birds 

 flushed, a few at a time, beyond the briers. Queen afterward 

 made an undecided point. Then each dog pointed false. 

 The next work was in a cornfield, where Glen pointed and 

 birds flushed. The bii'ds were followed into heavy cover and 

 flushed as one of the judges rode in. In the open Glen 

 pointed twice and flushed once. The heat soon after imded, 

 Glen winning. He was best in style, speed and range. 

 BEN HUR AND LEE. 



This brace was cast off at 4:40, running 38 minutes. 

 Neither ranged well. Lee did the best work on birds found, 

 making three points, Ben nothing. Neither did good work. 



Lee Avon. Dimple having a bye in this series, I'an it out. 

 Third Series. 



GLEN AND DIMPLE. 



They started in a cornfield. Dimple pointing a bevy. Glen 

 coming up, scented, drew on and flushed, and was a little un- 

 steady, stopping to order. The remaining birds then flushed 

 wild; going to scattered birds Glen pointed and Dimple 

 backed, then moved on. Glen started to chase when birds 

 flushed, but stopped to order after going a few yards. Di mple 

 next made a good point. Glen following with three points on 

 singles. Dogs ordered up at 5:53. The heat and first prize 

 was given to Glen, a bacl decision. Dimple besides having 

 the best range and speed and work generally of a high 

 class, had credit of a find and point on a bevy aud a good 



Eoint on a single bird, while Glen's points were on single 

 irds of the bevy Dimple had found, and his work was not 

 of the quality of hers and should not have been placed over 

 it. Dimple proved herself the best dog in the stake, and 

 should have won first. Loe had a bye in this series. 



Fourth Scries. 



GLEN AND LEE. 

 They started about 11:07: weather was quite warm. Lee 

 first pointed in a cottonfield; nothing found. After going 

 some distance Lee pointed again and Glen backed; he moved 

 on, Glen roaded, then drew on, pointed a bevy, and was 

 steady to shot. Glen was better in speed, range and style. 

 Dogs ordered up at 13:10, Glen winning. 



Fifth Series. 



LEE AND DIMPLE. 



The deciding heat for second prize was not a long one, the 

 point work being about equal, Dimple winning by her sii- 

 perior pace and range. Lee was then awarded third.

Wednesday. 



The day was very favorable for good work. A start was 

 made about , one mile to .the east of the town. The judges 

 were N. T. Harris, Omer Villere and Dr. Clegg,
