FOREST AND STREAM. 
Lansdowne Trim won rightly, but it was a close thing be- 
tween Dimity and Riot for second place; the latter scores in 
head and substance but loses in front. In puppies Lilly 
easily defeated Gamester, woo is short and thick in head. 
"Poodles. — In the challenge class for black curly, Paris 
was placed over Cbloe, a great mistake, as in no one point 
can she begin to compare with Chloe. Paris was sub- 
sequently disqualified for insufficient description in the 
catalogue, so Chloe got her deserts after all. In open dogs, 
Emperor rightly defeated Ithel who has good curl, but a 
poor head and a light eye. In bitches, Queen Zip, a fair one, 
was alone, and in the class for corded, Black Jack defeated 
Leo, but had the latter been better groomed the tables should 
have been turned. 
Bulldogs. — Only one put in an appearance and tha,t a poor 
one, faulty in body, does not stand out enough, deficient in 
skull and pinched in muzzle. 
Bull- Terriers. — In open dogs, Bellerby King, a greatly 
improved dog since last spring, yet by no means a flyer, won 
easily from a forward puppy, who will get too thick with 
age. In bitches, Rex, winner, is a grand bodied bitch, a bit 
loaded in shoulders, has a good head with a powerful jaw 
and excellent muzzle, but she is spoiled by a very light eye 
and will, I fear, soon thicken up too much. Lowland 
Duchess, second, is a bitch on quite different lines, has a 
beautiful eye, good expression and character capital, front 
and good legs and feet, but is weak in muzzle and was not 
in coat, having just weaned a litter. A promising puppy 
came third, but the rest were a bad lot. In puppies the 
second in open dogs was here placed first, but was not en- 
titled to it as the bitch puppy placed second was by all odds 
the best one, and if she furnishes well will be heard from 
again. 
Skye Terriers— Mr. Shinn sent some of his well known 
Skyes, which had things all their own way, but they were 
not in the best of shape. 
Scottish Terriees.— These were quite a good collection, 
Mr. Hertzler sending a nice kennel of four. In open dogs 
Kiltib is a good headed dog, with good ears and a nice front, 
but soft in coat, light in eye and too large. The Colored 
Preacher beats him in size, coat and eye, but loses in head, 
ears and front. The third dog is too thick and shortin head, 
otherwise fair. The winner in bitches was the best of the 
lot and is a hard one to beat in any company, her chief fault 
being her somewhat heavy and rounded ears. A promising 
puppy came second. 
Black And Tan Tereiees.— In open dogs Chesterford 
Victor, good in head, color and front, but faulty in tail, was 
alone, as was Betsy, the winner at Toronto last year, in the 
corresponding class for bitches. 
Italian G-beyhotjnds.— These were a poor lot, being far 
too coarse and common. 
Pugs. — In the challenge class the rivalry was keen, each 
one thinking they had the best, but the judge placed them 
correctly. Attraction scores from Duke. Howard in size, 
shortness of face, wrinkle, eye, ear and expression, but loses 
to him in tail, loin and hindquarters, where he is decidedly 
weak. Duke Howard is a cobby, compact dog, of nice 
size, good skull, fair muzzle and nice curl and carriage. 
Cashier is well known; he is over-sized and had to take a 
back seat. In open dogs Patsy Bolivar rightly won, scoring 
in size, face, ear, quality and coat from the somewhat coarse 
Sir Douglas. In bitches the winner was a long way the best, 
but the second and third might well have changed places. 
The second is the best in eye, color and body, but loses a deal 
in head properties. 
Dachshunds.— Nips and Red Riding Hood were the only 
two; the dog is a good one and is by far the better. 
Bedlingtons. — Two competed, but both are very moder- 
ate. 
Ieibh Teeeiers. — Galtees was alone in the challenge class, 
and two competed in the open, the winner scoring well in 
head, eye and coat, but has faulty ear carriage. 
Miscellaneous. — In the class for under 301bs. equal firsts 
were given to a pretty Maltese uot quite straight enough in 
coat, and a so-called old English terrier of Ben Lewis's. 
The Maltese should have won outright. In the class for 
over 301bs. a poor Airedale was the only entry.

Binghamton Dog Show. 
The fourth annual dog show of the Binghamton Kennel 
Club was given under the auspices of the Binghamton Indus- 
trial Exposition, which ran from Sept. 6 to 13; 104 dogs were 
benched. The quality was good. The number would have 
been larger had the club been a member of the A. K. C, for 
when people show their dogs they want to get a record. Next 
year it will be all right, as the club will be reorganized and 
apply at once for admission. With the Exposition back of 
them they can give a good show every year, and Binghamton 
is a good market for all kinds of dogs. The officers of the 
Exposition vied with each other to make visitors comfort- 
able. Mr. H. C. Martin, secretary, was everywhere. He 
seems to be the Tight man in the right place. The superin- 
tendent, C. H. Barrett, was ably assisted by his wife. They 
attended strictly to the wants of the dogs, and the place was 
at all times clean and neat. Sanitas was the disinfectant 
and Spratts food was used. For steward I had Mr. A. P. 
Pish, the most prominent breeder in the city. He has had 
large experience as steward, and everything worked smooth. 
Mr. S. R, Winans also rendered valuable assistance. The 
judging was. all finished by 2 P. M., and there was no 
kicking about the awards. The Seminole Kennels sent four 
dogs, but they were four days on the road, and arrived in 
horrible shape. It is a shame to treat dogs so. The express 
companies are well paid to handle dogs, and they should not 
delay them on the road.

THE MANITOBA FIELD TRIALS. 
The Derby. 
The trials of the Manitoba Field Trial Club were most 
successfully run, beginning on Sept. 5 at Morris, Man. 
Mr. W. B. Wells, of Chatham, Out., judged, and his de- 
cisions were well received. He was painstaking and thorough, 
giving the dogs ample opportunity to display their powers. 
Birds were not so numerous as they were last year, yet 
they were in sufficient numbers for field trial purposes, when 
the dogs were worked in the vicinity of the stubble field. In 
the open prairie birds were scarce. 
On Wednesday evening the club held a meeting and elected 
officers for the ensuing year. Following is the list: Patron, 
C. C. Chipman; President, F. G. Simpson; First Vice-Presi- 
dent, R. Adamson; Second Vice-President, J. M. Avent; Sec- 
retary-Treasurer, John Woolton; Managing Court, W. F. 
Ellis, D. M. Telford, G. B. Borradaile, T. L. Peters, C. W. 
Graham; Auditors, T. L. Peters and D. M. Telford. A vote 
of thanks was tendered the retiring officers. The last 
Tuesday in August was the date selected for the beginning 
of the trials next year. Messrs. W. B. Wells and R. J. 
Gallagher were elected honorary members. The rule con- 
cerning all-age winners was changed, in that a dog can now 
win two all-age stakes before being ineligible in the club's 
All- Age Stake. 
The weather was sultry and trying to the dogs' powers of 
endurance. Birds were difficult to find in the time between 
10 A. M. and 4 P. M., and therefore there was but little at- 
tempt at working outside of morning and evening. 
Delhi, the winner of the Derby, is a diligent worker and 
maintains a uniform good pace. On birds he is skillful and 
true in his point work, and he displays that useful quality 
called bird sense. He was handicapped by lameness caused 
by an injured foot, which troubled him a good deal in his 
second heat. He limped but kept gamely at work notwith- 
standing. Every one heartily congratulated the genial 
Capt. McMurdo on his winning, and all were glad at his 
success, 
Cynosure, winner of second, ran prettily, showed great 
range and speed, but was faulty in locating and pointing, 
not having sufficient experience probably. 
Tony Boy, third, has great range and hunts diligently, 
but owing to faulty point work, he impaired his perform- 
ance. 
Dash Antonio also showed great range and speed, but his 
point work was faulty. 
All in all the Derby was a notably good one. The prizes 
were: 1st, $100; 2d, 175; 3d, $50; 4th, $25. 
WEDNESDAY. 
It was announced on Tuesday evening that the trials 
would be started at 6 A. M. sharp, but breakfast was not 
served soon enough for the early start contemplated, and 
nearly an hour was in consequence lost. The morning was 
cool and bracing. As the sun rose higher the temperature 
gradually grew warmer until at 9 o'clock it was uncomfort- 
able. 
The puppies were diligent in seeking but most of them 
showed a lack of finish in their pointing. Their work on 
birds was inferior. Still, it should be considered that most 
of the puppies had a limited experience. Birds were in suf- 
ficient numbers for the trial purposes and were quite tame, 
therefore easy to work on. It was said that the temperature 
was about 86 deg. in the warmest part of the day. 
The trials began with the Derby, which had the large num- 
ber of fifteen starters, and all showing good natural qualities. 
There was quite a good attendance of sportsmen. Among 
those present were Messrs Thos. Johnson, G. B. Borradaile, 
W. T. Kirby, Mr. Vanderslice, superintendent of the N. P. 
Ry.; Mr. Sprado, manager of the Manitoba Hotel; R. J. Gal- 
laugher, secretary of the club; Mr. Chipman, manager of the 
Hudson Bay Company; Mr. T. G. Simpson, president of the 
club, and Mr. Telford of Winnipeg, Mr. R. Adamson of 
Virden, and the well known handlers and owners, Messrs. 
J. Wooton and W. F. Ellis of Manitou, and Messrs. J. M. 
Avent, D. E. Rose, J. B. Stoddard, J. J. Spracklin, W. Pick- 
ering, Capt. C. D. McMurdo and H. I. Regnoold. 
The dogs were drawn in the following order: 
Blue Ridge Kennels' blue belton bitch Nellie Fox (Antonio 
— Can Can), D. E. Rose, handler, with Hempstead Farm 
Kennels' liver and white pointer dog Hempstead Don (Sand- 
ford Druid— Merrylegs), J. M. Avent, handler. 
Blue Ridge Kennels' black, white and tan dog Tony Boy 
(Antonio — Laundress), D. E. Rose, handler, with Charlottes- 
ville Field Trial Kennels' liver and White dog Tippoo (Rip 
Rap — Monterey), Capt. C. E. McMurdo, handler. 
Richard Bangham's black, white and tan dog Dash 
Autonio (Antonio— Lady Lucifer), J. J. Spracklin, handler, 
with Blue Ridge Kennels' black and white dog Tom Beggs 
(Antonio — Ruby's Girl), D. E. Rose, handler. 
Charlottesville Field Trial Kennels' liver and white dog 
Delhi (Rip Rap— Queen II.), Capt. C. E. McMurdo, handler, 
with W. F. Ellis's black, white and tan dog Columbus (Duke 
of Manitoba — Hickory Link), owner, handler. 
T. Cowan's black and white dog Snatch, no pedigree, W. 
Pickering, handler, with Avent & Thayer Kennels' black, 
white and tan bitch Clementina (Roderigo — Norah II.), J. M. 
Avent, handler. 
J. Wootton's black and white bitch Bonnie Lit (Orlando — 
Lady Lit), owner, handler, with Avent & Thayer Kennels' 
black, white and tan bitch Cynosure (Roderigo— Norah II.), 
J. M. Avent, handler. 
T. G. Davey's liver and white pointer bitch Lucy (Ridge- 
view Faust— Peggy), J. Armstrong, handler, with F. G. 
Simpson's black and white bitch Miss Lit (Orlando— Lady 
Lit), J. M. Avent, handler. 
T. G. Davey's liver and white pointer bitch Faustina 
(Ridgeview Faust — Peggy), J. Armstrong, handler, a bye. 
There was not one which could justly be called a duffer, 
and they displayed remarkably good ranging qualities. 
There is a vast improvement in tnat respect. It would pass 
for a superior stake anywhere. Perfect or good point work 
could not be expected from puppies which had so short a 
season of preparation. Everything considered, it was a re- 
markably superior Derby. 
First Bound. 
Nellie Fox and Hempstead Don were started at 6:52. 
Don was much the wider ranger, he taking long casts and 
going fast. He was diligent in searchiug, and his manner 
of working on birds wan the better. Nell made a false 
point. Don pointed, probably on footscent, as a bevy was 
flushed close by after he had gone on. Nell backed. Don 
next made two points on single birds aud Nell backed well. 
She did some inferior roading, carrying a low nose and 
puzzling on the footscent. Don had poor style. Nell was 
better in style and, while she beat out her ground well, it 
was limited to a small area. Up at 7:22. 
Tony Bot and Tippoo were started at 7:29. Both began 
badly on birds, each flushing under favorable conditions for 
pointing. About 300yds. further on Tony Boy pointed a 
single bird, then ran in on it and wilfully flushed. Next 
Rose flushed some birds of a bevy, and Tony Boy flushed 
remaining birds. Next he pointed, probably on the foot- 
scent. The heat ended at 8:10. Both were wide rangers, the 
pointer the wider, some of his casts being fully a quarter of 
a mile. Tony Boy was a good ranger, beat out his ground 
with judgment, but he made a very unsteady showing on 
birds. 
h Dash Antonio and Tom Beggs started at 8:14. Plenty of 
birds were found during the heat, but most of them flushed 
wild. Dash flushed, then stopped on the remaining birds of 
the bevy. Both were steady to shot. The warmth of the 
sun was beginning to assert itself, and it was making the 
work harder for the dogs. Tom roaded nicely on a bevy 
down wind, then willfully flushed. Dash roaded well on a 
single bird which flushed wild. Tom pointed a single bird, 
and as Rose was walking up to him he moved on and the 
bird flushed. Up at 8:48. Neither one ranged wide, though 
both were diligent and showed interest in work on birds, 
though the work was inferior in finish. 
Delhi and Columbus began their heat at 8:53. Delhi 
pointed and was well backed by Columbus; moving on, Col- 
umbus drew and pointed prettily, Delhi at the same time 
taking a wide cast. Nothing found. Delhi next pointed 
two or three bird3 nicely; Capt. McMurdo failing to flush, 
the birds lying very close. Columbus at the same time was 
roading up wind and pointing, probably on the back track. 
Delhi coming in flushed one of the birds which he had 
pointed. Next Columbus flushed three birds heedlessly. 
Up at 9:38. The pointer showed high class capabilities. He 
had a wide range, uniform speed and was honest and accur- 
ate in his point work. 
Snatch and Clementina began at 9:43. Snatch was not 
behaving well and the heat was not over before she began to 
show signs of weariness. Clementina's work on birds was 
fairly good. She pointed one accurately and prettily. She 
next roaded down wind to an excusable flush, then on her 
next birds she pointed after flushing an outlying single. Up 
at 10:13. Clementina was much superior to Snatch ; the latter 
had almost quit work when the heat ended. 
Bonnie Lit and Cynosure were started at 10:18. The 
latter pointed a single bird and was nicely backed. Both 
were steady to shot. The weather was getting very warm. 
No more birds were found before the heat ended at 10:53. 
Cynosure exhibited a good range and diligence. Lit was a 
closer worker, showing good judgement and unifoam speed. 
The weather was then so warm and chickens so hard to 
find that further running was postponed till afternoon. The 
party returned to town iu the meantime. 
Lucy and Miss Lit started at 3:25. Lucy flushed a single 
bird. Lit secured a good point on a single and was neatly 
backed. Both were steady to shot. Lucy ranged wide and 
with judgment. Up" to the time birds were found and the 
gun fired, Lift's range was ordinary, but the find infused 
energy and effort in her. She had but one good eye, aud 
undoubtedly the infirmity lessened her effort. Up at 5:04 
Faustina was cast off at 4:14. Hempstead Don was 
selected to run with her. He made two false points, then 
secured a true point on a single bird. It was marked down 
and Faustina secured a point on it. Faustina was lame and 
had an indifferent range and was disposed to point on false 
scents. Don ranged wide and with fair judgment, but he 
too heeded false scents too much. Up at 4:47. 
Second Round. 
The work had been so meagre on birds that the judge 
properly gave most all the dogs a new trial. Quite a num- 
ber of sportsmen were present at the afternoon competition. 
The work was hardly equal iu quality to that of the 
morning. 
Tony Boy and Dash Antonio began their heat at 5:06. 
Both dogs ranged very wide. Tony at the end of a long cast 
pointed and held his point till his handler went up to him. 
Dash coming up also pointed. No birds were found, but 
some were flushed close by by the wagons after the dogs had 
moved on. Sent on, Dash pointed at the same time the bird 
flushed. The heat ended at 5:40. Both ranged wide and fast 
and covered a great deal of ground. 
Tippoo and Tom Biggs were started at 5:29 and ran till 
5:40. Tom showed a tendency to false-point, which spoiled 
all his chances. Tippoo ranged wide, but wasted much time 
in pottering on some scent, which engaged his attention 
some minutes. He is a good mover, and with more experi- 
ence will undoubtedly work well on birds. 
Delhi and Cynosure began at 5:46 and ran till 6:02. Cyn- 
osure ranged wide. She pointed a bevy in stubble and was 
well backed. She held her point well for some moments 
while her handler was walking to her. Sent on, Delhi was 
next to point. He stood in stubble and had birds, but his 
handler failed to flush them. Delhi moved on, and Cynosure 
drew forward and pointed the birds. Next both roaded to 
edge of the stubble a few yards away and pointed some re- 
maining birds. Both dogs made a good showing, Cynosure 
the better. Delhi did notequal his tirst heat in his going. 
Bonnie Lib and Clementine started at 6-.06. Lib made a 
good point on a single bird and next made a false point. In 
the meantime Clementine broke away from control for sev- 
eral minutes, and was out of sight. In returnine, she pointed 
where some birds had been flushed by her. The handlers 
were brought together. Lib's range was irregular and of 
ordinary compass. Clementine was disposed to point on 
false scents. They were ordered up at 6:22. 
Miss Lit and Lucy began at 6:26. Miss Lit made two 
flushes, then held a half point to a flush on a third. She 
stiffened on point as her handler walked up, and birds were 
flushed to her point. Lucy's range was ordinary. Miss Lit's 
range improved and she covered a good deal of ground. Up 
at 6:42. 
Faustina was started at 6:46 with Nellie Fox for a running 
mate. The latter pointed two birds in a grain field. Faustina 
made two flushes. Up at 7:01, and the work of the day was 
ended. 
THURSDAY. 
There was an uncomfortable closeness in the atmosphere, 
although a light fog deadened the sun's rays iu the morning 
hours. The work on birds was limited, many opportunities 
to point being lost. While nearly all the dogs were wide 
rangers they did not distinguish themselves as good finders. 
Tony Boy and Cynosure began at 7:10. Both dogs 
worked out of control for some minutes, some of the time 
out of sight on the prairie. Tony flushed a bevy. He : 
flushed a single and stood to wing. Each made a false point. 
Tony pointed a single well and was steady to shot. Cyno- 
sure was narrowing her range a great deal in the last of th&- 
heat and required constant urging to keep her out. Tony 
was going well and keeping up his wide range. Up at 7.-53\ , 
and Cynosure was showing signs of quitting. 
Dash Antonio and Delhi were started at 7:58. Delhi 
flushed twice, once down wind. Delhi next found and 
pointed a bevy well, and was steady to shot. Dash had a 
superior range and was fast in his work, but on birds his . 
performance was full of errors. Delhi showed good judg- 
ment and. honest work to the gun, and uniformly so. He • 
ranged well and maintained good speed, though not so fast , 
as some of his competitors. Still, he covered as much i 
ground as could properly be worked to the gun. 
Miss Lit and Hempstead Don were run 11m., starting at *, 
8:36. They did nothing to improve their chances, 
The All-Age Stake. 
There were twelve starters, several of them being dogs of
