ANOTHER GUN-SHY DOC CURED. 



Ecbitor Forest tnicl f>tremn: 



All item 111 .Lm)ki.jst AM) stukam ot Dec. "■lo ('•ure gun- 

 shv dogs, recalls to mmd my experience.. I had a. line 

 pointer pup. well home broken, but never .shot over. On 

 taking hmi int<.) the held tor- prairie chickens, the first shot 

 T made he left, run 111 iiK ba.ck an hundred yards or nna-e. T 

 called hiin to me, but a.t every shot he would repeal, the act. 

 T left the held and thi' ne.xl, evenint;- I tied the pup to my 

 waist and takm;.- -. h- niu- went into the timber, lutendiuti to 

 hre a,t a target riment. t,o see it by that means 1 



could not accu -i "ii; io the gun. A bird sat on a, busli. 

 It very much attraete(.i the attent ion ot the pup. t killefll he 

 bird and ran to it, 1 he pup was A ery mmjh pleased to avt 

 hold of the bird. I did not hre again. The next evemuu' 

 I went into the held. A mght-hawdv would make treijuent 

 dashes at the dog, \\ hu-h interested hiin much. I killed the 

 hawk and it fell near tlie pup. 1 had no trouble after that 

 time. I have never been able to account tor that timidity. 

 He proved to be a dos ot more than Lirdmary courage, would 

 unhe.srtatinglv grapple a wounded buck, having trained him 

 to aul me in hunting and securing wounded di;er. H. E.

CHICAfiO, net S1 — The hild tnal seisonni ihis \iai has 

 been a peculiar oiu^ m mauv respects, chiet aniomi' which ai-e 

 the large number of iniiiortant trials which have been held — 

 more than were e\-er held tietore m one season — a,nd the ex- 

 cellence of the manau"in<i' and ]udsina 



So far as conductiiu;' and ludti'ing the trials are concerned, 

 considering them as a. \yhole. they were excellent. These im-

 but It IS gral.ilyiim- I o w rite that it is now almost complete. 

 It IS surprisiriL;. ho^^'ever. that so mauv tlnims opiiosed to 

 common sense (.in the one hand, and n-'sultmsi in |ialimble 

 error 111 practice on the other hand, should have been cher-

Eookmg back hvm- the lajise ot time cox eriiiii- the evolution 

 of field trial matters m this country, nothing is more incom- 

 prehensible than the multitude ot o])posmg ideas which sur- 

 rounded every detail ot t he ci 'tii |!erition. A. matter so plain 

 that it se.^med sel t-evuhait would turnish a sub]ect for

Field Trial Rules. 



Much could be done in the way ot imiirovind ihe c.aisrruc- 

 tion of the rules. I hose now m usi..- are neai'h tiie same 

 throughout the country. Thev c(juld be cut down iK^arly 

 ont.'-half and vet state the sfime thing clearer anil with more* 

 precision. 



For instance, the Eastern Eudd Trials Cvlnb and the Enited 

 St.ates hield Trials (;lub-aiid probably other clubs— hav.' 

 the tollowum clause m Itulc 1): "Any dog absent, <]uriim- the. 

 tir.st, series tor mon- than 20 niiuutes after his number is 

 called shall lie disipia lili.ul I rom turther competition. 



Rule lo: ■■l^jach doe must 'le lvr>.iUKht Uj.i in its [iroper turn

Here IS a matter . li ,; i; \\ ice in tv\-o dilferent rules in 

 a coufiictmt;- maiiii.-i .-m m r not only unskilltui — it is con- 

 fusing and contra* I letory. 



There IS much matter winch could be cut out ot the rules 

 without the le;ist inmr\ to them, and miu.'h other matter

I lie-i nebui ifiwol the ( ii ( h s-, and iwku nd aiiiiige- 

 nients which could be pointed out in held trial rules. Tt 

 seems that some club omj-ht to take pride enough to engender 

 sufflcient energy and industry to make its rules both sensible 

 and accurate. Every clulv has talent enoUKh m its member- 

 ship to accomplish this desideratum, but they a,))|iear m- 

 difterent to the matter. Usage or the .sanction ot time seems 

 to usurp the place of ordinary good sense in held tri.il rules, 

 tlowever. when It IS plain to all the clubs that the public 

 knows that these silly things exist they wiU probably take 

 a,("tion and., corrt'ct them.
