mparts a gentle and continuous rotary motion to the eggs, 

 which is necessary to their vitality. The same current 

 carries away the bad eggs, which, being of less gravity, rise 

 to tbe surface and are floated away. 



The fishes as hatched are also moved forward by the cur- 

 rent into suitable troughs and tanks, where they are held 

 until such time as is proper for their distribution. 



There is also on the grounds a tenement for the assistant's 

 residence, with a room and office for the superintendent's 

 use. Over the "glass hatchery" is a work shop, while over 

 the second trout hatchery is a warming room for visitors 

 and the museum of mounted fishes. There is also a small 

 structure apart, for preparing the fish food. Also a small 

 stable and shed for the cow and for visitors' teams. The 

 whole is most interesting, and well worth the inspection of 

 visitors, who are always welcome and courteously treated by 

 the superintendent and his assistants. 



The following is the distribution of fishes and eggs since 

 last report, viz., from Aug. 1, 1888, to Aug. 1, 1890, inclusive; 



Distributed. 1888. 1889. 1880. Totals. 



German carp 175 1,38a 150 1.710 



Rainbow trout 12,000 12,000 



Black bass and perch 3,000 — 



Landlocked salmon 25,000 51,000 76.0(X) 



Loch Leven trout 15,000 147,000 163,000 



Lake Superior trout 55,000 100,000 193,000 347,000

1^60,775 



Wall-eyed pike eggs 25,000,000 



In addition to this, the L'^nited States Fish 

 Commission has planted in Lake Superior 

 waters within this State as follows: 

 Loch Leveu,Von Behr and native brook trout . . .50.000 



Wall-eyed pike 500,000 



Lake Superior trout 1,380,000 



Whitefish 35,000,000-36,910,000 



Making a grand total of 67,170,775 



Every indication at the present time leads us to believe 

 that the output of the coming season will largely exceed, if 

 not double, that of the last.

THE SOUTHERN FIELD TRIALS. 



''pHESE trials comnienced under vei=y favorable auspioas 

 X on Monday^ Feb. at New Albany, Miss. There was 

 quite a large attendance of _bout.hern sportsmen, among 

 whom 1 noticed Col. Gordon, J. O'H. Denny, T. M. Brumby" 

 J. W. Renfroe, J. Shelley Hudson, Whyte Bedford, J. M. 

 Avent, Patrick Henry, P. H. Bryson, Major Strickland, B, 

 P. Holliday. and F. I. Stone. Among the handlers were 

 such well known men as Messrs. Rose, Tucker, Short, 

 Titus, McCargo, McCartney, Hyde, Bevan and Poindexter. 

 The grounds were well adapted, but birds were not very 

 plentiful, There was considerable grumbling over the 

 hotel accommodations, which were poor. At a meeting of 

 the club a committee was appointed to revise the running 

 rales, and the spotting system will in future be adopted in a 

 modified form. The club was reported as in good financial 

 standing. The losses of the past year have all been paid, 

 and there is a snug balance in the treasury. 

 The running commenced on Monday with the 



DERBY STAKE. 

 The judges were Messrs. F. I. Stone, Chattanooga, Tenn.; 

 B. P. Holliday, Prairie Station, Miss,, and Dr. Rogers, of 

 New Albany, Miss., who acted in place of W. Venable, who 

 had uot put in an appearance. The morning opened bright 

 and frosty, toward noon becoming somewhat warmer. The 

 first brace in the 



First Series, 



BESSIE SI. AKD EANCHIOSETTE, 

 were put down at 8:34 a mile from town. Bessie M. is an 

 English setter, owned by Mr. E. M. Myers, and is by Bryson 

 out of Grace Bryson and was handled by H, M. Short. 

 Fancbionette is by Dan Gladstone out of Bou-Silene. and 

 owned by Mr. H. A. Renfroe and handled by D. E. Rose. 

 Both started fast and Fan soon pointing was backed by 

 Bessie, but nothing came of it. After going some distance 

 Bessie pointed and birds were put up: steady to wing. 

 After the .scattered birds Fanchionette did the best work, 

 securing three points and a single, as well as a flush, Bessie 

 honoring in good style. Fan, owing to her better style and 

 hunting sense just secured the award when the dogs were 

 called up at 9:49. 



ANDROMEDA AND ATALAiJTA. 

 Andromeda, an English setter, owned by H. S. Bevan, by 

 Count Noble out of Moonstone, was handled by her owner, 

 and L. W. Smith's English setter bitch Atalanta, by Jean 

 Val Jean out of Sheena-Van, was handled by N. B Nesbitt. 

 Put down at 9:52 Andromeda soon showed herself the better 

 in speed and range, her work being especially stylish. 

 Running some distance Andromeda was found pointing a 

 bevy down wind, having been set some time. Atalanta 

 called back also pointed, birds being raised, both were 

 steady in shot, fimt <m Andromeda wa.s lost ajrain; when 



found she had another point, which was shared by Atalanta, 

 who had followed her. The former was certainly entitled 

 to the point, both dogs steady to flush. Then roading on 

 both dogs pointed and were steady to flush. On the scat- 

 tered birds each made a point. Then Atalanta secured a 

 bevy, making another point on a single. Dogs were then 

 called up after running one hour and twenty-three minutes. 

 Andromeda had clearly shown herself the best, both in point 

 work and style and the decision was clearly wrong which 

 gave the heat to Atalanta. 



VANITY FAIR AND KATE WARD, 

 Vanity Fair, an English setter, owned by W. Willson, is 

 by Roderigo— Pet Gladstone, and was handled by Hyde. F. 

 S. Ward's English setter Kate Ward, by Buckellew — Vic- 

 Vic, was in charge of H. M. Short. Tbey were cast off at 

 11:26. Kate showed better style; but neither had much speed 

 or ra.nge. After running some time both dogs seemed tired, 

 when they were held up for a quarter of an hour and then 

 put down on the other side of a wooded bottom, Vanity 

 soon got into trouble, getting right in among the birds, 

 though the wind was well in her favor. Kate Ward then 

 made a point on a single, and as Vanity made another flush 

 and was unsteady, the heat was given to Kate. 



DOLLY HILL AND RITPEET. 

 Dolly Hill, handled by H, M. Short and owned by J. 

 Shelley Hudson, is by Ben Hill— Dolly S. Rupert, owned by 

 J. M. Avent, is by Roderigo— Bo Peep, and was handled by 

 his owner. Cast oflE at 1:02, they started at a great pace, and 

 were .soon up with the birds. Dolly after winding birds and 

 while trying to locate them had the credit taken from her 

 by Rui)ert, who coming up from a wide cast quickly secured 

 the point. Dolly backed and both were steady to flush. 

 Then .several singles were scored by each. This was qttick 

 and stylish work with few mistakes, making it one of the 

 most sensational and inspiriting heats I ever remember. 

 Both had great speed, Rupert being a trifle the better in 

 range, and won the heat, though Dolly ran him close. 



FOLLY AND BLADE. 

 The English setter Folly, by Roderigo— Countess House, 

 is owned by J. M. Avent, and he handled her; Charles Tuck- 

 er's English setter Blade, by Toledo Blade — Lola C , was also 

 in charge of his owner. They were put down at 1:35. These 

 two were also good flelders and quick work was again the 

 order of the heat. Polly scored first on a single, then Blade 

 did the .same. After running some time Blade found a bevy. 

 Folly backed, and both were steady to shot and wing. Then 

 Blade rejieated on a single and pointed again, Avent mark- 

 ing the bird, put Folly on to it nicely. After running 45min. 

 the dogs were ordered up and heat given to Blade. He was 

 the speedier, 



LEMOINE.S AND DAVE B. 



The English setter Lemoines, owned by J . E. Dager, Toledo 

 Blade— Lady S., was handled by D. E. Rose, and J. A. Mc- 

 Cargo's English .setter Dave B., bj^ Startle, Jr. — Clio, was 

 handled by R. P. McCargo, and were cast off at 2:33. A 

 few birds were flushed by horsemen after dogs had been 

 running some time, then Lemoines pointed one of the singles. 

 Dave B coming arotmd backed only fairly and was a trifle 

 unsteady to shot. Afterward Lemoines flushed a .single bird. 

 Dave B. 'made a wide cast near a hedgerow, and coming down 

 refused to back Lemoines who was pointing a bevy, but went 

 in, taking the point. Both were steady to wing." After fol- 

 lowing without finding, the heat ended and was given to 

 Lemoines. Dave B. was the Louisiana Derby winner. Dogs 

 ran olmin. 



SAM R. AND MARGUERITE. 

 Sam R., owned by Geo. P. Jones, by Dash Bryson— Daisy 

 Hope, was handled by W. W. Titus, and Marguerite, owned 

 by D. B. Rose, by Gath's Hope— Sue S., wasin chargs of her 

 owner. Cast off at -3:33; they both started well, going fast 

 throughout the heat. Marguerite pointed first but bevy 

 scattered, having run on, but two birds were flushed. Then 

 Sam R. secured a point on another, this Titus flushed when 

 the rest got up. Then a single ensued for each. Then Sam 

 R. pointed and secured three singles to Marguerite's one on 

 the other birds, Sam R, outpaced, ranged and pointed his 

 opponent and won easily, 



ANDY AND GRADY. 

 Andy, English setter owned by J. M. Avent, is by Jean 

 Val Jean, and was handled by owner. Dr. B. M. Smith's Eng- 

 lish setter dog Grady is by Zagos— Dimple, R, P. McCargo 

 handled him. Cast oft" at 4:03, when they ran till the close 

 of the day. Shortly after starting Andy nailed a small bevy, 

 backed by Grady. 'Nothing more being found, after a long 

 run, in wliich Andy .showed his superiority, they were 

 ordered up to run again the next morning. 



Tuesday. 



The inonaing opened gloomy, rain falliiig: heavily during 

 the night followed by a driazle, though afterward the day 

 turned out well. The start was late and 



ANDY AND GRADY 

 were called to finish the previous heat. After SO minutes' 

 work Andy won easily, he has good range, style and pace. 



DAVE W. AND LADY GAY SPANKER, 

 Dave W. is by Gath's Mark— Daisy F., owned by Geo. 

 Hodgson and was handled by W. W. Titus. Lady is owned 

 by the Graphic Kennels, by Rumor — Lady Norwich. She 

 was handled by H. M. Short. Put down at 9:35, when Lady 

 very soon made a stylish point on a bevy, birds flushed, when 

 she was steady to shot and wing. Following them up she 

 pointed a single and Dave W. backing, Short flushed and 

 killed. Lady failed to find. Moving on, Dave pointed a 

 bevy, Lady backing promptly. After the scattered birds. 

 Lady flushed a single, Dave then pointed and bird was after- 

 ward put up by horsemen. Then he pointed fur. Lady Gay 

 pointed false. Dave then pointed a bevy. Both staunch in 

 their work and equal in speed and range. Heat awarded to 

 Dave W. after forty-five minutes' run. 



WHITE J3. AND FLORA GLADSTONE. 

 Whyte B. is by Roderigo — Florence Gladstone, is owned 

 by P. H. Bryson and in charge of Chas. Tucker. B. M. 

 Myers' Flora Gladstone is by Dan Bryson— Grace Bryson, 

 and was handled by H. M. Short. Cast off at 10:27. At the 

 start a bird, flushed quite near, when Whyte B. .started in 

 and then stopped. Sent on, the balance of birds flushed. 

 Then he pointed again, doing good work on footscent, he 

 stopped, made a wide cast and came up the wind, wheii he 

 quickly nailed the birds. Whyte then made two points on 

 singles, while Flora backed, then she secured a point after- 

 ward, Whyte pointed footscent, and afterward each made 

 a good point. Dogs up at 10:57, Whyte B, declared the 

 winner, 



NOBLE GLADSTONE AND ZDXU M. 

 English setter dog Noble Gladstone, b}'- Count Noble 

 —Florence G., owned by P. H. Bryson, was handled by 

 Chas. Tucker, and Poindexter's English setter bitch Ztdu 

 M., by Toledo Blade. Owing to Mr. Poindexter's illness 

 the heat was postponed till after lunch, when Mr. Short 

 handled her, though a stranger to Zulu, Both dogs started 

 well, the bitch showing herself Vfry fast, and she kept it 

 up throughout the heat. Noble had not so much speed but 

 is a wider ranger. After a run in open, dogs were sent into 

 woods. Zulu winding birds, went np, crossed the fence, 

 and coming down the other side, a bevy flushed wild. In 

 the meantime Noble had flushed a bevy some distance away 

 to the right. The first bevy was followed, when Noble 



goinfced, Zulu went on in front, refu.sing to back, if she saw 

 im, and not recognizing^ any scent, Noblp then made two 



points, Zulu making three or four and backed Noble. Zulu 

 was given the heat. 



PAUL BO AND POX, 

 T. M. Brumby's English setter dog Paul Bo, by Gladstone 

 —Bohemia Girl, was handled by W. W. Titus, and John H, 

 Young's English setter dog Fox, by Jack— Fannie, wasin 

 charge of Capt. McCargo. They were cast off at 11:11. 

 After a short run Fox pointed. Paul coming fast down 

 wind only just saw him in time and dropped to back. Noth- 

 ing could be found, but afterward, just near in woods, Fox 

 flushed a small bevy. Then he pointed a single in grass. 

 Paul roaded but failed to locate birds. Sent on, Paul 

 dropped to a false point in woods. Then he found two 

 bevies, both doing fair work on them. Paul Bo was rightly 

 awarded the heat. 



RAYON AND PINK B. 



The English setter dog Rayon (sired by Jean Val Jean), 

 owned and handled by J. M. Avent, and J. A, McCargo's 

 English setter dog Pink B. (Startle, Sr.— Clio), were the next 

 brace called. As Rayon was suffering from a recent injury, 

 Avent asked to withdraw, and his request was acceded to. 



This ended the first series. 



Second Series. 



FANCHONETTE AND ATALANTA. 

 This brace were cast off at 2:.57 and ran for 30 minutes. 

 Atalanta flushed soon after starting, a bevy down wind. 

 Following up, she made three points and one flush, and then 

 pointed a bevy, the birds being flushed before she was dis- 

 covered on point. She was steady at all times to wing and 

 shot. Fan had little to do but back. Atalanta won easily. 



RUPERT AND KATE WARD. 



Short and Kate Ward were absent when this brace was 

 called. Being notified. Short came a minute or two late, 

 but was allowed to start Kate. Rupert easily disposed of 

 her. Rupert looks as if he would get in the money. Dogs 

 were ordered up at 4:20. 



BLADE AND LEMOINES. 

 Lemoines pointed twice on fur. After running one hQU| 

 were ordered up, and go down to-morrow to finish the ImW: 

 Wednesday. 



A cool and bright day, frosty, but not uncomfortable. The 

 judging was not so satisfactory as hithei'to. some of the 

 heats b'eing too long and others the reverse. Little progress 

 was made owing to the scarcity of birds. Only six heats 

 were decided out of the eleven to decide the winner. 



BLADE AND LEMOINES. 



Put down some five miles from town to decide the un- 

 finished heat. After an hour's run Blade pointed in good 

 style and this settled the heat in his favor at last. 



ANDY AND SAM R. 



Cast off at 10:40 near v/here last bevy was flushed. Sam 

 R. pointed a single bird, after a little ranging the bevy was 

 followed, Andy securing a single, Sam R. doing the same 

 soon after. Further on both i-oaded and pointed the same 

 bird. Each had had an independent point. After a short 

 run they were ordered up. There was not enough dift'erence 

 in point work and speed to decide between them Sam R. 

 only having a little the best in range and speed. Each had 

 pointed at all chances. The heat was awarded to Sam R. 

 DAVE W. AND WHYTE B. 



They were sent away at 11:37, Dave going at a sharper 

 pace than Whyte; he kept out at work better. Dave located 

 a bevy which he pointed in good style, then some good point 

 work was done by Dave W. in the grass. Whyte B. tben 

 pointed and was .steady to wing. Dan then pointed, but 

 Whyte passed on, did not back, but flushed the bird. Sent 

 on DaVe made a flush downwind. After the thirty min- 

 utes linait they were sent on for fifteen minutes more, No 

 work was done and dogs kept on. Whyte then added a false 

 point. Soon after, the heat was given to Dave, which every 

 one fully expected. 



After lunch 



PAUL BO ANTD ZULA U. 

 were started at 1:34, both going very fast. Zula was first to 

 get wind, and after some good work she located, but was 

 a little unsteady to wing. Paul Bo backed well. On scat- 

 tered birds near by, Zula M. going fast up wind, put up a 

 bevy. The dogs were held up at 1:5.'5 to cross a wooded bot- 

 tom. At 2:17 they were east off again. Then Zulu M. made 

 a false point, some distance further on the horsemen flushed 

 three birds. Paul Bo then pointed to the left, a single was 

 flushed by him and the balance of the bevy got up quite 

 near. Zula then pointed and moving on, bird flushed. She 

 then scored another false point. Paul Ijaeked. In woods 

 further on, Short flushed a bevy and Znbi M. a single bird, 

 then pointed one. Short putting up the bird, when balance 

 rose. Afterwards Paul Bo pointed on foot scent and soou 

 came up mth the bevy. During this, Zula pointed a single 

 bird, and when the bevy and her bird was flushed she chased. 

 Each dog then made a point on singles: Zula a little unsteady 

 to .shot. The heat vvas soon decided and Paul Bo won Zula 

 was handicapped in being run by a strange handler, though 

 Mr. Short handled her well. This ended the second series. 



Third Series. 

 Atalanta and pink b. 



At 3:35 the brace was cast off, but little work was done. 

 Piuk B. had run his flrst heat here, owing to Rayon's with- 

 drawal and a bye in the second series. Under the spotting 

 system he would have been spotted out. No btvy was fotind. 

 The score was, Atalanta an excusable flush down wind in 

 heavy grass. Pink B. three false points, two flushes and a 

 start to chase when the only bird pointed got up. How he 

 could win on such a record is one of the things no fellow can 

 understand. Atalanta in the previous heat had done 

 good work, but this could not be counted under these rules, 

 worse luck, and the heat should have been prolonged. The 

 heat was finished at 4:43, 



RUPERT AND SAM R. 



This brace was made of different stuff. Not long after 

 starting, in the open at the edge of woods, Rupert pointed a 

 bevy. SamR. was called up to back, but though in full 

 view for some distance failed to back, and when close enough 

 up to scent birds he turned in and pointed. Birds were 

 flushed and both were steady to wing. On into woods, 

 Rupert soon pointed a second bevy, Avent flushed them 

 and on scattered birds Sam R. pointed one, Rupert coming 

 up, backed splendidly. Then Sam R. flushed a single. A 

 circle around and Sam made a false point. In all the work 

 in woods Rupert was stanch and stylish. At the end of thirty 

 minutes the heat should have been given to Rupert, but it 

 was continued. Sam R. made a point in sedge grass but 

 moved on, after running fifteen minutes more Sam R. was 

 missing. Titus, after a search on horseback, gave him up 

 and thought his dog had gone to town. He was found later 

 on a point, Rupert had been ordered up, and the heat will 

 be continued to-morrow. 



Thursday. 



A heavy fro.9t during the night was not favorable for early 

 work, so the dogs were takeu several miles south of the town 

 before a start was made. The day did not seem favorable 

 for good work, but several heats Wf re decided and the deci- 

 sions, with one exception, were right. Rupert was given 

 the heat against Sam R. without running again, which was 

 right, as he had fairly won it. 



blade and DAVE W, 



At 9:35 fchi.s brace was cast 0% Blade through the hmt
