ALL-AGE STAKE. 

 First Series. 



PIXK B. ANB BRUNETTE. 

 J. A. MoCargo's English getter dog Piak B.. by Startle S. 

 — Clio, handled by E,. P. McCargo, and J. J. Manson's black 

 pointer bitch Brunette, handled by J. E. Watson, were sent 

 away at 9:21, Pink B. had an easy time of it, doing the best 

 ■work on game. Speed, range and style was altogether in 

 liis favor, Brunette ranging'poorly, dogs up at 11:08. 



DAVE B. ASD JENNIE AIAY. 

 J. A. McCargo's dog Dave B., by Startle S.— Clio, was 

 llandled by R. P. McCargo, and P. R. Hitchcock's Eng- 

 lish setter bitch Jennie May, by Roderigo— Bo-Peep, was 

 handled by J. M. Aveat. They were put down at 10:17, May 

 first finding and pointing a single in good style near a 

 hedge row; further on she flushed. She then made a point 

 in a cotton field, flushed and chased. Dave then pointed a 

 bevy, which flushed while May was being brought up to 

 back. Pace and range about equal. Down SOm. Dave was 

 given the heat. 



RUPERT AND MAMIE G. 



P. E. Gregory & Bro.'s English setter bitch Mamie G., by 

 Bryce— Dora Gladstone, was bandied by G. R. Howse, and 

 J. M. Avent's English setter dog Rupert, by Roderigo— Bo- 

 Peep, handled by owner, were cast off in pretty open 

 ground. Mamie was the first to find and point a bevy, 

 afterward finding a wounded bird left behind. As it flut- 

 tered away she tried to catch it — it was excusable in a 

 puppy. She next pointed a single. Rupert followed with 

 a point on a bevy, Mamie backed; both steady to shot. In a 

 cornfield further on Mamie pointed a single. At the same 

 time Rupert was making a point. At 12:07 the heat ended. 

 It was rather a near thing. Mamie had slightly the best of 

 the other in speed and range, and won. 



A move was made for lunch. 



riNGAL AND FOLLY. 



J. E. Dager's English setter dog Fingal, by Toledo Blade 

 —Lady Gloss, handled by D. E Rose, and J. M. Avent's 

 bitch Folly, by Roderigo— Countess House, was handled by 

 her owner. They were cast off in open ground, neither dog 

 doing good work. A bevy was marked down, but owing to 

 the whistling and calling the birds rose wild. Fingal then 

 pointed, and" was held on point some time for Folly to come 

 up and back — birds moved on. Fingal roaded .some dis- 

 tance. Folly then flushed the birds. A point was then 

 made by Folly, but nothing found. Fingal pointed a single. 

 Dogs ordered up at 2:47, both showed good range and speed. 

 Folly was not under good control 



OUR PET AND NELLT BLY. 



B. M. Stephenson's English setter dog Our Pet and F. F. 

 Myles's English setter bitch Nelly Bly, by Bruce— Enid, 

 was handled by S. J. McCartney, and our Pet by his owner. 

 They were cast oflE at 2:52 in the open. The heat was all one- 

 sided, Our Pet doing all the work on birds, and was best in 

 all other respects, and, of course, won. Ordered up at 3:15. 

 WUN LUN& AND MARUDERITE. 



N. T. Harris's Engli.sh setter dog Wun Lung, by Capt. 

 Bethel— Fay, was handled by S. J. "McCartney, and D. E. 

 Rose's Marguerite, by Gath'a Hope— Sue J., was handled by 

 owner. Dogs started at 3:17; Wun Lung starting very fast, 

 having great speed and good range throughout the beat— he 

 is a good puppy. He did the best work on birds, winning 

 the heat rather easily. Mr. Harris (owner) excused himself 

 from judging in heat. 



GRADT AND JIM B. 



R. M. Smith's English setter dog Grady, by Yazoo— Dim- 

 ple, was handled by R. P. McCargo, and R. E. Lutz's Irish 

 Setter Jim Batey was handled by G. R. Howse, and sent 

 away at 3:57. Jim pointed first and secured another soon 

 after, Grady then flushed a single. Jim B. was best in speed 

 and range, thoitgh both were only fair. Ordered up at 4:35; 

 Jim B. was declared the winner, 



FOX D. AND TRIXET BELTON. 



R. P. McCargo's English setter dog Pox D. was handled 

 by owner, and W. J. Baughn's bitch Trixey Belton, by 

 Duke Belton— Nellie Gray, handled by owner, were put 

 down at 4:43 in the open. Fox pointed a bevy in a cornfield. 

 Trixey followed with a point on a single bird and then 

 flushed it. Moving on both pointed on a bevy. Fox flushed 

 an outlying bird and the balance flushed wild. Both then 

 pointed about the same time,;moving on they roaded, and the 

 bird before Trixey flushed wild. Fox D. was given the heat. 

 The pace and range was fair, that of Pox the best;. 



Second Serieti. 



PINK R. AND MAMIE G. 



They started at 5:22 and run twenty-eight minutes, leaving 

 the heat undecided. Mamie had pointed a bevy. Pink B. 

 two singles. Range and pace slightly in favor of Mamie G. 

 Dogs were then ordered up until morning. 



Thursday. 



The day opened cloudy, very wet under foot, having rained 

 hard during the night. On this account hunting was done 

 on the higher ground run over yesterday. It fortunately 

 cleared off by noon. The unfinished heat was the first one 

 called. A late start was made within one mile of town. 

 At 10:12, after a short run, both dogs winded birds. Mamie 

 to the left about 15yds. away. She proved to be nearest the 

 birds, and reading down a corn row, a single bird flushed 

 wild. Mamie pointed a single just to the left. Pink came 

 up in time to see the flush and make a short chase. Moving 

 on Mamie pointed the bevy again, but it ran on. The dogs 

 reading nearly a quarter of a mile away. Mamie stopped 

 just in time to avoid a flush. Crossing cotton patch Mamie 

 found ag in, and roading on he got one point, others flush- 

 ing wild ahead. Mamie had the best range and speed, Pink 

 B. the best style. Mamie won. 



DAVE B. AND FINGAL. 

 This brace was put down at 11:14 in a cornfield. Fingal 

 made an unsteady point, Dave backing well. Fingal moved 

 on, pointed again, this time a sparrow, Dave B. proving a 

 good backer. After a short run in at the lower end of the 

 cornfield Fingal pointed on foot scent; no bird found by Mr. 

 Rose. Near by Dave B. pointed a single in good style, and 

 near fence afterward secured another point and two flushes. 

 Dogs ordered up at 11:35 to find better ground. Does were 

 put down again at 12:12. After about a fifteen-minutes' run 

 Dave B. flushed a bevy in a eornfleld. Following them Fin- 

 gal pointed near a heavy cane thicket, where two birds were 

 seen to light; nothing found. Crossing the fence Dave B. 

 found a bevy. Following scattered birds he made two points 

 on singles. Fingal was better in range, speed and style, but 

 did not get to the right places at the proper time. A little 

 point work would have won him the heat. 



WUN LUNG AND OUU PET. 

 Cast off at 10:04, Wun Lung going very fast Pet made an 

 undecided point, Wun Lung backing promptly when called 

 ap. Pet moved on in time to avoid a false point. Soon 

 alter she made a point on larks— again Wun Lung backed— 

 dogs_ ordered up at 1:30 to go to lunch. After lunch, and a 

 10 minutes run, .she poiutpd and moved on, Wun Lung near 

 by pointed and soon moved on. On the next hill Pet pointed 

 and then moved on, ronding birds, she secured a point and 

 a flush. Both dogs then roaded to the edge of cotton patch, 

 when birds flushed. ""-^ - " " ^ 



into corn, when Pet flushed a single. In sedge grass, near 

 corn, Wun Lung pointed a bevy in fine style, part of the 

 birds flushed wild. Pet coming down in front of Wun Lung 

 flushed the balance of the bevy. Moving on Pet fltished a 

 single and then pointed false. Near by Wun Lung pointed 

 a small bevy of birds. Pet was unsteady to wing most of 

 the time, Wun Lung steady throughout. He hunts his 

 ground with the judgment of an old dog, is very fast and 

 thoroughly staunch. Wun Lung was declared the winner. 



JIM BATET AND FOX D. 

 This race did not last long, ,Tim B doing all that was done 

 in eornfleld bottom; handler called point just as the birds 

 got up. Jim B. moved on a little distance and made a good 

 point on balance of bevy. After 10 minutes' run he pointed 

 another bevy at the edge of woods: be was kept on point for 

 Fox to back. He became rattled by the calling and whist- 

 ling and put the birds tip. He won the heat easily. 



DAN B. AND MAMIE G. 



Mamie G, was the first to find and a point was said to have 

 been made. Moved on and swinging round ahead of birds 

 she pointed again: birds flushed. In the meantime Dan B, 

 was brought round and on the left side of road, through cot- 

 ton patch, both dogs pointed. Moving on Dan B. located a 

 single, making a stylish point, Five yards ahead he pointed 

 another single. Further on Mamie G. struck scent, roaded 

 quite a distance, and finally flushed a bevy very cl ose to her. 

 Dogs then ordered up and heat given to IDan B. Mamie G, 

 was the best in pace and range, but not very obedient. Dan 

 B. was thoroughly staunch and was better in style. 



WUN LUNG AND JIM B. 

 Wun Lung was best at all points— much the best in 

 speed, range, and style. His point work was the best. After 

 30 minutes' run Wun Lung was given the heat. This closed 

 the running for the day. Wun Lung and Dave B. are down 

 for first place to-morrow. 



Fnday. 



Weather cool and cloudy; the grounds worked over not so 

 good as those of yesterday and day before. A large part of 

 them were more or less covered with water between the cotton 

 rows. The first heat of the day was to decide first prize in the 

 Derby. The start was made at about 8:47. two miles south 

 of the town. 



WUN LUNG AND DAVE B. 

 Dave B., after a short run, pointed in cottonfield and two 

 birds were flushed; Lung backed. To the left Lung pointed, 

 moved on, but failed to locate, After about 10 minutes' run 

 both dogs made points, each having a bevy. Wung Lung 

 ran in and flushed. Dave B. was .steady to flush and shot. 

 They were then ordered up after 30 minutes' run, Dave B. 

 winning first prize. It was decided to run Mamie G. and 

 Fingal to decide which should run Wun Lung for second 

 money. 



FINGAL AND MAMIE G. 

 Cast off at 9:32 in open cottonfield. Soon after a bevy was 

 flushed by boys runnmg through cotton. After some fur- 

 ther running Fingal poi nted a bevy, Mamie backed well 

 and then left it. Just afterward she roaded the bird and 

 finally located it nicely, but moved arotmd, jumping in to 

 flush. Fingal afterward pointed, bird flushed between Rose 

 and the dog. Fingal better in style, Mamie best in range 

 and speed. Fingal was given a rest before running against 

 Wun Lung for second money, by running two heats in the 

 All-Age Stake. 



FINGAL AND WUN LUNG. 

 This heat was decided in 30m.. Wun Lung, after 10 to 

 lom. run, pointed a bevy after flushing an outlying bird. 

 Following the scattered birds Fingal pointed single, was 

 steady to shot and was well backed by Lung. Dogs ordered 

 on and each made a flush. Fingal was then awarded third. 



ALL-AGE STAKE. 

 The All-Age Stake closed with 16 entries. 



HOOSIEK BEN AND BEN HUK. 

 W. J. Baughn's English set ter Hoosier Ben, by Roderigo 

 — Rufra's Cross, handled by owner, .'ind P. F. Myle's English 

 setter dog Ben Hur, by Paul Gladstone— Lottie, were put 

 down at 10:35. They were slow and had good opportunities 

 for good point work, Ben Hur possibly making one point. 

 Ben made several but flushed too much. He was fair iu 

 pac? and style. At the end of 30m. the brace was ordered 

 up for want of merit. Ben Hur did not seem himself at all, 



DAISY HOPE AND TRIBULATION. 

 W. W. Titus's English setter bitch Daisy Hope, by Gath's 

 Hope— Daisy F., was handled by D, E, 'Rose, and B. M. 

 Stephenson's pointer dog Tribulation, by Beppo III.— Lass 

 of Bow, was handled by owner, and were cast off at 11:10, 

 both going at a good pace. Tne heat throughout was a 

 good one. The spotting system shows itself in a case like 

 this to be the only fair rule under which to run these trials. 

 Dai.sy Hope was the wider ranger. There was little differ- 

 ence in speed if any. Tribulation had the best style. Daisy 

 did most of the point work, which included the finding of a 

 bevy. Neither did any flushing. The heat was as good as 

 any of the meeting. If spotting system was used Tribula- 

 tion would certainly have another chance. This is a hint to 

 the management for future use. 



COR.SAIR AND JACK. 

 B. M. Stephenson's English setter dog Corsair, by Dan 

 Gladstone— Haidee, was handled by owner, and R. P. Mc- 

 Cargo's English setter dog Jack, was handled by owner and 

 cast off at 1;.50, both going at a good .speed. " Corsair the 

 faster and ranging widest. Corsair did most of the point 

 work and won rather easily in the allotted time, 30m. 

 CAPTAIN BETHEL AND MARK. 



R. W. Poster's English setter dog Captain Bethel, by Gor- 

 don—Blanche, and C. J, Thompson's Irish setter dog" Mark 

 were put down in cotton and cornfield. The ground was 

 wet and heavy under cover in corn. Two points on singles 

 were made in thirty minutes by each and Captain Bethel a 

 questionable flush of a bevy. Captain was much the best in 

 pace, range and style. Mark seemed afraid of horsemen and 

 spectators. Captain Bethel was given the heat. 



TENNESSEE CHARLEY AND FRED GATES. 

 B. M. Stephenson's English setter dog Tennessee Charley 

 by Fred W.— Ida S , was handled by owner, and Hamiltoii 

 and Jackson's English setter dog Fred Gates was handled 

 by D. E, Rose. They were cast off at 3:07, both starting 

 wild, Charley having best pace and range, Fred Gates not 

 going nor working in his usual form. Working for some 

 time with little result, Tennessee Charley pointed a bevy. 

 Fred came in from a cast and made a point some yards ahead 

 and right in the middle of the birds; both steady to flush 

 Moving on Charley found another bevy; Fred repeated his 

 performance, coming from the left again, dropping to a point 

 in cotton row about three yards ahead of Charley. Fred 

 ended the heat by a point on a single. Charley won the 

 heat. 



SIMONIDES AND ANTONIO. 

 N. T. Harris's English setter dog Simonides, by Gath's 

 Hope— Gladys, was handled by D. E. Rose, and J. M. Avent's 

 English setter dog Antonio, by Roderigo— Bo Peep, were 

 east oft" iu cottonfield, both going fast and ranging well. 

 After running some time Antonio pointed on foot scent, go- 

 ing fiu'ther on, he pointed a bevy in edge of sedge grass, and, 

 afterward got a single. Going down a corn row at speed he 



possible point. Antonio was declared the wimier when time 

 was up. 



GLEN AND BRUNETTE. 

 R. B. Parker's English setter dog Glen was handled by 

 R. P. McCargo, and J. J. Manson's pointer bitch Brunette 

 was handled by J. Watson. These two were sent off for 30 

 minutes, but no birds were found, though Glen was far 

 superior in all that constitutes a field dog, and was awarded 

 the heat. This brought the work to a close for the day, 



Saturday. 



CASSIO AND STUBBLE. 

 The morning opened cloudy and cool. Wind in the west. 

 A start was made at 7 o'clock, but as Stubble's handler was 

 not on hand we started without him, and the heat was given 

 to Cassio. 



Second Series. 



DAISY HOPE AND STUBBLE. 



They were put down less than a mile from town in cotton 

 and cornfield. Both started fast. Daisy found first and 

 pointed a bevy in good style. She retrieved well to a kill. 

 Some distance to the left Corsair pointed and then roaded 

 to a flush, following with a point on single bird. Corsair 

 came in ahead of Daisy Hope while she was roading and 

 flushed a single bird, and two flushed ahead of Hope. Going 

 to another field Corsair flushed a bevy. On the scattered birds 

 Daisy pointed a single bird. Daisy was the winner after 45 

 minutes run. 



TENNESSEE CHARLEY AND CAPTAIN BETHEL. 



Captain Bethel flushed a single bird after some hard work. 

 After a run of nearly a mile, Captain Bethel pointed a bevy. 

 Charley coming in from the left side, down a cotton row, 

 wheeled to a point. Neither dog could see the other. A 

 large bevy flushed to a thicket but was not followed. 

 Another long run, when Capt. Bethel pointed some distance 

 away, but before handler could get to him he moved on and 

 a bevy was flushed near. Charley then, to the right, pointed 

 a single. Then Bethel flushed. After a short run, dogs 

 were ordered up and Charley won. 



ANTONIO AND GLEN. 



They were put down at 10:35 in cottonfield, where the last 

 brace was ordered up. Both started at a good gait, Antonio 

 the more stylish and wider ranger. Glen was supposed to 

 have flushed a bevy in cotton patch, and bevy settled in 

 woods. Antonio did all the finding in fine style. Glen 

 made one point to his discredit by refusing to back and 

 taking Antonio's point. At the end of 30 minutes Antonio 

 won. 



Cassio ran a bye. 



Third Series. 



CASSIO AND DAISY HOPE. 



Cassio ran a good heat. Daisy did badly, not doing her 

 usual work at all. She scored a false point soon after start- 

 ing. After a short run Cassio pointed staunchly 200yds. 

 away; the bevy flushed wild, taut he retained his point until 

 Avent got to him; he tried hard to get up the birds, not 

 knowing they had flushed. Moving on each secured a point 

 on a bevy, and Daisy retrieved a bird killed by Rose. In 

 sedge grass Daisy made a flush. Moving on to cornfield bot- 

 tom both dogs passed near a bevy, which was flushed by 

 horsemen. In the same sedge grass Daisy made a flush, 

 then a point. Cassio followed with u false point. This 

 ended 30-minute heat. Cassio was given the heat. Daisy 

 did not go in her usual fast style, putting little spirit in her 

 work, while Cassio was just the opposite. 



ANTONIO AND TENNESSEE CHARLEY. 



They were cast off at 12 M. in a cotton patch. Antonio 

 hunting with judgment found a bevy. Avent flushed but 

 missed. Further on, in cornfield, Charley pointed and moved 

 on after running birds; he finally located a small bunch. 

 Antonio having made cast to the right came in 40yds. ahead 

 of Charley and wheeled to a point; two birds were flushed. 

 Going to the left and through hedgerow to the next both 

 dogs were fotxnd on a point. Each handler claimed what 

 proved a false point. A little further on Antonio pointed. 

 No bird could be found by Avent, though a little further on 

 a single bird wa8flu.shed, A long run ensued, when Char- 

 ley in .sedge grass flushed a single, just after Antonio had 

 pointed a rabbit near by. In cotton, Charley and Antonio 

 were found on a point; a single was flushed to Antonio's 

 point, but Charley moved on; a bevy flushed near by which 

 he should have pointed. Antonio then won the heat. He 

 was much the better in speed, range and style. 



ANTONIO AND CASSIO. 



At 1:22 Antonio and Cassio were put down to run for first 

 prize. Cassio soon made a flush of bevy. Shortly afterward 

 Antonio was missed. It was some time before he was found 

 in an adjoining field on a point. A bird was killed when 

 bevy was flushed. Antonio did not retrieve, though Cassio 

 brought it nicely. A few birds were marked down in sedge 

 grass. Going on, Cassio flushed a single, Antonio mean- 

 while making a point on another near by, bird flushed and 

 killed, Cassio retrieved. Going on to cornfield bottom An- 

 tonio quickly made good points on two bevies. Antonio won 

 easily m half an hour. 



SIMONIDES AND TENNESSEE CHARLEY. 



These two were put down to see which should run Cassio 

 for second place. The dogs were put down in a cornfield, 

 and before going a hundred yards Simonides dropped to a 

 point. It proved a large bevy, and settled in a thicket hedge 

 where it was impossible to go. After a run of fifteen 

 minutes more Simonides was given the heat. 



CASSIO AND SIMONIDES. 



Simonides kept up his good work in pace and range. He 

 pointed one bevy and two singles. Cas.sio flushed a bevy 

 and pointed one. His pace and range was also good. After 

 running half an hour Simonides won second money. 



Cassio and Tennessee Charley then divided third. MAX.
