Informatiou comes to us from Chicago that Mr. H. J. 

 Nichols, who is so vrell and favorably known as a fancier of 

 Great Danes and owner of the great Melac, cannot be found 

 by his friends, who fear that something serious may have 

 happened to him. We sincerely trust that this is not the 

 case. Two days before ho left Chicago he sold Melac and 

 his other dogs to the Cumberland Kennel Club, of which 

 I Mr, H. L. Goodman is manager. This will put that kennel 

 I in the very front rank in this breed. Mr. Nicliols was a 

 I prominent Mason. 



EASTERN FIELD TRIALS CLUB'S FIELD TRIALS. 



A WHOLE week of pleasant weather from Nov. 21 to Nov. 

 26 favored the trials, there being therefore no weather con- 

 siderations to interrupt the work. 



The judges managed the running most skillftilly. a most 

 important consideration in testing the qualities of setters 

 and pointers in actual competition. This refers more par- 

 ticularly in respect to picking; otit a route through fields and 

 cover so that the route will be continuous, or at least so that 

 there will always be room to work, thus affording every op- 

 portunity for the dogs to work contintiously. But few 

 judges can avoid tangling up the competition in woods, 

 doubling back on the same course, or see-sawing here and 

 there as one obstruction after another appears to interrupt 

 the work. The judges were Messrs. H. Merriam, Memphis, 

 H. B. Dtirvea and Washington A. Coster, the genial secre- 

 tary of the clnb. He appeared, however, to have an idio- 

 pathic case of utter weariness which cut ofl; his active ser- 

 vice as judge about ninety-nine per cent. 



The annual meeting of the club was held on Thursday 

 night. The Board of Governors wa=i elected as follows : 

 W. Hay Bockes, James L. Breese, W, A. Coster, J. Otto 

 Donner, C. Oliver Iselin, H. B. Duryea, C. C. Gray, F. R. 

 Hitchcock, Jos. H. Hunter, Pierre Lorillard. Jr., H. Hul- 

 man, Jr.. H. Merriam, G, T, Leach, P. H. O'Bannon and 

 Edward Dexter. The conditions of the stakes for 1893 re- 

 main the same as this year, excepting the Champion Stake, 

 which was abolished, and a committee was appointed to 

 make another stake instead. The club meeting then ad- 

 journed and the Board of Governors held a meeting. 



Mr. C. Tate was named as a candidate for membership. 

 A committee, according to time-honored action, was ap-. 

 pointed with power to look up new grounds. The election 

 of officers resulted as follows ; President, Pierre Lorillard, 

 Jr. ; Vice-presidents, H. B. Duryea and Herbert Merriam ; 

 Secretary, Washington A. Coster, The new stake is called 

 the New Subscription Stake. It is a free for all, $.50 sub- 

 scription which is transferable. The club adds ¥350. to go 

 to first. Dogs to be named the night before starting. Heats 

 to be two hottrs' duration and so arranged that a dog which 

 runs in the morning will next time run in or about midday. 

 Fifty per cent, sweepstakes to first, thirty to second and 

 twenty to third. 



The lunches served on the grotmds were about as unappe- 

 tizing as they could be consistently with a claim to a part of 

 civilization, yet, to use a doggy term, they were " sorty," or 

 much alike. Coffee was absent. Four or five plates were 

 considered ample for twenty-five or thirty people, yet no 

 sportsman should be so dudish as to expect much when he 

 has the privilege of paying $2 oOper day for a little food and 

 a good deal of inattention. To get waited on though im- 

 perfectly required a vigorous individuality and a persistent 

 nature. 



The Members' Stake, 



The Members' Stake was run off this year under circum- 

 stances which never before occurred in the history of the 

 club so far as the knowledge of your reporter reaches. The 

 circumstances were the absence of the reporters and there- 

 with the absence of any detailed history. Foee.st akd 

 Steeam had three stalf representatives out in one week at 

 ditterent field trial events. Nothing could bear more direct 

 testimony to the growth of field trials and the energy of 

 FOKEST AND STREAM in rising equal to the situation. In 

 fact, there is not another paper in America which could send 

 so many trained men to do such work. 



But in respect to the Members' Stake, I was told that the 

 work was only fair, a,nd that birds were rather scarce. 



Mr, W. A. Coster, the genial secretary, and Mr. Josiah 

 Collitis, Seattle, Wash., were the judges." 



Following is a brief history of the proceedings; 



P. Lorillard, Jr.'s lemon and white dog Count Anteo 

 (Count Noble— Gladstone's Girl) 

 tvitJv 



George Leach's black, white and tan dog Guy (Glad- 

 stone's Boy— Lady). 



W. B. Meares's black, white and tan dog McMurdo (Roi 

 d'Or— Mildred C). with 



P. Lorillard, Jr.'s liver and white bitch Antevolo (Count 

 Noble— Trinket IL). 



Herbert Merriam's black and white dog Nat GfdOdwifi li~ 

 (Nat Goodwin— Royal Myrtle) 



with 



P. Lorillard, .Jr."s black, white and tan bitch Lora (Glad- 

 stone's Boj' — Ruby's Druid). 



Count Anteo, first; Guy, second; Antevolo, thiTd, 

 Birds were scarce. 



The Derby. 



The starters on Sunday night numbered 23 after the 

 drawing was completed. In the morning, one of them, Mr. 

 Herbert Merriam's Nat Goodwin IL, was found dead in 

 his kennel. It was a sad loss to his owner and handler. 

 The dog was a valuable one. 



The judges are Messrs. A. Merriman, Memphis, H. B. 

 Duryea, Red Bank, N. -J., and Washington A. Coster. 



There are many of the old guard here with a sprinkling 

 of new faces, and there is a steady growth perceptible from 

 year to year in the evolution of the sporting costume. 

 Where a few years ago the larger part of the sjpectators 

 were content to appear in ordinary citizen's dress, a sport- 

 ing costume now is worn.
