The day was cool and clear, with a stiff breeze blowing— 
not a bad day for work, so far as the weather conditions were 
concerned. 
First Round. 
Belle — Dell S. — They were worked nearly an hour before 
any birds were found. On a marked bevy, Belle roaded and 
pointed it, and was backed. Both were unsteady to wing. 
The birds were followed and Belle pointed and was again 
backed. Belle chased. They started at 8:03 and were 
ordered up at 9:26. Tbeir speed and range were poor, though 
Belle was the better. Dell needed a lot of urging to keep her 
at work. 
Tamarack, Jr.— Day Dream started at 9:30 and ran 56m. 
Tamarack made a point to which nothing was found. Day 
Dream pointed a bevy. Mayfield ordered her on and she 
flushed it. The birds were followed, and Day Dream pointed 
a single. Tamarack crossed a fence close by and pointed a 
bevy. Worked on the scattered birds, he flushed one. He 
moved on about 100yds., pointed and waited till his handler 
got near him, but then moved on and flushed. Tamarack 
was the better in range, and speed and other qualities. Both 
were obedieut. 
A fox had been jumped and there was a suspension of the 
running while some hounds were brought from a house 
close by and put on the trail. One old hound is described as 
closing on the fox very fast, the latter getting into cover in 
time to save his brush. 
Roderick J. — Rex-FAST. — They were started at 10:58 and 
ran lh. Quite a while they searched without finding. On 
some scattered birds, Rex pointed. As his handler walked 
up, Rex jumped in and flushed the bird. He made another 
flush on a single. The running was stopped and the party 
went to lunch. In the afternoon this brace was given a 
further trial. 
t Lad's Lady— Hal BeAden were started at 1:07 and ran 
till 1:38. Hal flushed a bevy with the wind in bis favor. 
Lady made a good point. Hal heedlessly ran across her 
point and flushed two birds He made two more flushes and 
Lady made a good point in cover, showing some quick, sharp 
work. Hal made errors carelessly. 
Hempstead Don— Lady Peg II. started at 1:44 and 
ran 34m. After working across a stubble into a cornfield 
Don was missed. He was found roading in the cornfield. 
He took a cast out into the stubble and found and pointed 
the bevy, doing a good piece of work. On the scattered 
birds Peg secured a good point and Don backed, then Don 
pointed one and Peg backed. Next he pointed another 
single, and next he made a point to which nothing was 
found. Then Lady made a good point on a bevy. 
Roderick T.— Rex-fast were put down for further 
trial at 2:23, and were worked on birds which were marked 
down in the previous heat. In corn, Rod pointed a single 
bird. Rod in corn pointed, then flushed a bird. He was 
steady to shot. Rex made two flushes. Rod pointed a 
single bird in woods. Up at 3:11. Neither showed a wide 
range, though Roderick was the better. They were diligent 
and obedient. 
Second Round. 
Five were left in the second series. 
Tamarack, Jr.— Lady Peg.— They were cast off at 3:52. 
Lady going down wind flushed some scattered birds. Tam- 
arack, Jr. was suspiciously close to a bevy which flushed. 
He held a point on a remaining bird and Lady backed. At 
the edge of woods, working on the scattered birds, Tamar&ck 
pointed nicely. He was steady to shot. He got two more 
good points. Lady going down wind flushed a single, Tam- 
arack pointed in the open and was backed. He then took a 
short cast across the fence closely and pointed a bevy, Lady 
close behind backing. Tamarack had the advantage in 
range. Lady quartered her ground with much regularity. 
Both were under good control. Up at 4:28. 
Hempstead Don— Lad's Lady were started at 4:30. Don 
in this heat showed poorly. He was often trailing rabbits 
and showed indecision in all his work. He roaded at first a 
long way on a rabbit trail. As the handlers were walking 
down wind they flushed a big bevy. Don was roading in an 
uncertain manner. He roaded to a flush on some remaining 
birds and was steady to shot. The flush was excusable, as 
he did not have the wind in his favor. Next he pointed a 
rabbit and pottered on its trail. Up at 4:55. The heat was a 
poor one in every respect. 
TUESDAY. 
Clear, cool weather prevailed during the greater part of 
the day. Birds were found in plentiful numbers, but in 
such unfavorable places that the work on them was limited. 
There was little test on single birds, owing to the difficulty 
of working the heavy cover. Much time was lost in stop- 
ping the competition to go to different fields wide apart. 
There were delays, too, occasioned by dismounting to work 
out small field or fields on which the owners would not per- 
mit horses to be ridden. The quality of the work was decid- 
edly inferior. 
Hempstead Don— Lady Peg— Were started at 8:03 and 
iran till 8:49. A single bird was seen to flush in the open field, 
and on going to the place Don was found pointing a bevy 
Lady passed close by the bevy but did not catch the scent'. 
(On the single birds she got three or four points. Don 
tshowed indecision and pointed listlessly on the footscent. 
Third Round. 
Roderick T.— Belle II. were cast off at 9:26. Belle was 
going down wind near a bevy when it flushed wild. On a 
single bird she pointed for a moment, then chased it. Rod- 
erick showed much the better quality, though far from hi°-h 
class in his work. Up at 9:43. ° 
Hempstead Don— Tamarack, Jr.— Both caught scent of 
a single and drew to a flush. Plenty of birds were scattered 
about, but the dogs failed to take advantage of the oppor- 
tunities. Don showed over-cautiousness, was slow in road- 
ing and pointing on footscent. Tamarack was superior in 
every way, though his work on birds was meagre. The heat 
ended at 10:05. 
The winners were announced as follows: Tamarack first- 
Hempstead second, Lady Peg II. third, Roderick T. fourth 
Lad s Lady fifth. 
The conditions of the stake were as follows: For pointers 
whelped on or after Jan, 1, 1893. Entries closed June 1 '94 
First forfeit §10, Sept. 1 $10 additional, $10 to start. 
First $200, second $150, third $100, fourth $75, fifth $50. 
The competition as a whole was inferior. The winners 
showed no special work of excellence. 
The Setter Derby. 
This stake was started immediately after the Pointer 
Derby was ended. 
There were twelve starters drawn in the following order- 
Avent & Thayer's black, white and tan bitch Clementina 
(Roderigo— Norah III.), Frank Richards, handler, ivith Min- 
nesota Kennels' liver and white bitch Norah IV. (Roderigo — 
Norah III.), Frank Richards, handler. 
Minnesota Kennels' black, white and tan dog Jock Scott 
(Paul Bo— Canadian Lill), Geo. Richards, handler, v)ith Blue 
Ridge Kennels' blue belton bitch Nellie Fox (Antonio — Can 
Can), D. E. Rose, handler. 
Avent & Thayer's black, white and tan bitch Cynosure 
(Roderigo— Norah), J. M. Avent, handler, with Blue Ridge 
Kennels' black, white and tan dog Tony Boy (Antonio — 
Laundress), D, E. Rose, handler. 
Fox & Seller's black, white and tan dog Iroquois (Antonio 
— Can Can), J. J. Johnson, handler, ivith Norvin T. Harris's 
black, white and tan dog Dixie's Flag (Wun Lung— White 
Wings), E. Garr, handler. 
Geo. A. Reed's blue belton dog Wun Lung's Pride (Wun 
Lung— White Wings), J. H. Johnson, handler, ivitii H. R. 
Edward's orange and white dog Harvard (Dan Surges — Gay), 
Geo. Gray, handler. 
Fox & Seller's black, white and tan bitch Toney's Gale 
(Antonio — Can Can), J. H. Johnson, handler, with Blue 
Ridge Kennels' black, white and tan bitch Lady Mildred 
(Antonio — Ruby's Girl), D. E. Rose, handler. 
The conditions and prizes of this stake were the same as 
those of the Pointer Derby. The work in the first round was 
imperfect so far as finding and pointing are concerned, yet 
superior to the work of the Pointer Stake, and, in regard to 
range and speed, greatly superior. Several of the compet- 
itors showed much natural merit, which with further expe- 
rience may result in a better showing in field work. 
First Round. 
Clementina— Norah II.— At 10:28 they were started in an 
open field, which was soon beaten out. Skirting along woods 
in a hollow, Clementina found and pointed a bevy well and 
was steady to shot. Soon afterward, at 10:43, the dogs were 
taken up and the party went to other grounds. The dogs 
were up 40m. On one of some birds which had been flushed 
by spectators Clementina got a good point. Next at the 
edge of a cornfield; both got a point on the same bevy. Next, 
Clementina pointed a bevy in corn, and afterward pointed 
another bevy which had been marked down in a fence corner. 
Nora flushed a single. Clementina was the better ranger, 
was sharper in her point work, remained out better at her 
work and was the better finder. Up at 12:06. 
No more running was done till after lunch. 
Jock Scott— Nellie Fox.— They were cast off at 1:05. 
Nellie was first to find. She pointed well a bevy in corn. 
Jock went in ahead, and at the report of the gun both were 
a bit unsteady. Nell in woods made a good point on a single 
bird. Next, in the open field, Jock stopped to a point on a 
bevy. The heat ended at 1:37. Nellie maintained a more 
uniform speed and range, and showed better point work. 
Jock started well in ranging, but had shortened his fling 
before the end of the heat. 
Cynosure— Tony Boy.— Their heat began at 1:42. Cyno- 
sure was not quite independent at first. Both showed good 
speed. They had a large field in which to show their range 
and judgment in. beating out their ground. Before they had 
well begun to beat it out Cynosure took a long, straight- 
away cast. She was seen suspiciously near a bevy which 
flushed fully a third of a mile away. In the meantime Tony 
was worked on and worked under control. On part of the 
bevy, presumably which had been flushed, Cynosure got a 
point and two points on singles. The dogs were afterward 
brought together. A bevy was marked down in heavy 
weeds. Cynosure caught scent and was drawing when the 
birds flushed wild. Again sent on in a large field, both dogs 
left it without working more than a small part of it, they 
taking a long straightaway cast. After a while they were 
found and again brought together. On a marked bevy Cyn- 
osure got a good point and Tony backed. Each in woods 
got a point on single birds. Next Cynosure pointed a single 
in woods. The heat ended at 2:41. While both showed good 
speed and capabilities in point work, though in ability Cyn- 
osure was easily the better, they were faulty in their range. 
Cynosure in particular beat out her ground with no observ- 
ance of regularity, and in searching for bevies did not prop- 
erly work to the gun. With more experience this fault will 
be corrected. Both were fast and maintained their range to 
the end of the heat. 
Iroquois— Dixie's Flag.— They were started soon after 
the last heat was concluded. Iroquois flushed a bird in open 
weeds, then moved on and flushed two or three more. It 
was a very faulty piece of work. At 3:02 the dogs were up 
and the party went to new grounds. The trip took 21m. 
Sent on, Iroquois flushed twice in an orchard. Dixie made a 
stylish point; nothing found. It may have been on foot- 
scent, as some scattered birds were marked down near by 
and some spectators said a single had flushed from the place 
a few moments before the point was made. Iroquois pointed 
a rabbit. Both showed good speed and fair range. Dixie 
had the merrier action and carried himself with much dash. 
On birds he had but little opportunity, the luck favoring 
Iroquois. Up at 3:46. 
Wun Lung's Pride— Harvard.— They were cast off at 
3:50. Each flushed a single, Harvard showing some unsteadi- 
ness. Next Harvard in open weeds went through a bevy, 
half drawing, and the judges, following along, flushed it. It 
was a bad error. Each made a point to which nothing was 
found. Harvard was suspiciously close to a bevy which 
flushed in heavy weeds. Pride made a good point on a single 
bird and afterward flushed one. He was the better ranger, 
carried himself stylishly, and he showed better judgment 
and ability on birds. Up at 4:22. 
TonY Gale— Lady Mildred.— At 4:26 they began a most 
unsatisfactory heat. Tony was soon lost and was not found 
when the heat ended at 4:47. Lady got one point on a bird 
of a scattered bevy and was steady to shot. No estimate of 
the work could be made. 
This ended the day's work. 
WEDNESDAY. 
A dismal morning, with prospects of a cold rain, greeted 
the field trial party. The sky was dark and overcast. A 
drizzling rain set in soon after the work begau. Birds were 
found in sufficient numbers. The work was about ordinary, 
with hardly a bit of remarkable incident in it. 
Tony Gale— Lady Mildred were started at 8:10, to re- 
sume their unfinished heat of the previous day. A large 
field was worked out, whereafter it was necessary to take 
the dogs to other grounds. They were up 22 minutes. Lady 
pointed and Gale backed. Lady moved on to locate better, 
when the bevy flushed wild. In the open field, she pointed 
at the same moment the bevy flushed. At 9:13, Lady was 
taken up and Tony was run alone. Ioi woods Tony wheeled 
prettily to a point, and started to chase when the birds 
flushed. Next he pointed in woods; nothing found. Up at 
9:20. He ranged fairly well, but his point work lacked finish. 
Six were retained in the second series. 
Second Round. 
Clementina— Nellie Fox.— The dogs were called up to 
start, but no available ground being near and there being 
every prospect that the rainfall would be greater, the judges 
announced that there would be no further running till after 
lunch. At 1:07 the dogs were cast off. A light rain fell dur- 
ing the heat. Nell pointed a bevy well and Clementina 
backed or pointed. The birds were followed. In corn, Clem- 
entina got one point on the bevy and two points on single 
birds. In a cornfield Nell pointed a bevy. Each made points 
to which nothing was found. Rabbits (Were very numerous 
and frequently were worked by the dogs, to the detriment of 
their work on birds. The heat ended at 2:11. Both ranged 
well. Clementina wus difficult to control and sometimes 
worked to the gun, sometimes not. In this respect Nellie 
was the better. 
Cynosure— Wun Lung's Pride.— On a single "of some 
scattered birds in woods, Pride made a good point. New 
ground then was necessary, and it required 26 minutes to 
transfer the dogs to it. On some scattered birds in weeds, 
Pride made a good point, and on some remaining birds, 
Cynosure pointed and was steady to shot. She showed a 
great deal of self-will and did not work regularly to the gun, 
though showing excellent natural ability. Pride flushed a 
bird in woods and Cynosure chased it. They started at 3:06 
and ran 29 minutes. Pride had graceful action and worked 
well to the gun, but was short of experience in finding and 
pointing. Cynosure was speedy and sharp on birds. 
Lady Mildred— Dixie's Flag.— At 3:44 they were cast 
off in an open field. Lady pointed a bevy and when the gun 
was fired she started to chase, Mr. Rose explaining that it 
was after a rabbit which ran a moment after the birds 
flushed. The circumstances seemed to bear out his state- 
ment, as she made most of her chase in a different direction 
from the flight of the birds. In thick cover in woods, Lady 
made a point on a single, after which both roaded to the 
edge of the woods, about 40yds., where the birds flushed 
wild. Each then made a good point on a single bird in the 
open. They were ordered up at 4:00. Lady was the wider 
ranger and was more successful in her point work. Dixie 
was very stylish in his work, and will improve greatly with 
more experience. This heat ended the stake and the work 
of the day. 
The judges announced the winners as follows: Clementina 
first, Nellie Fox second. Cynosure third, Lady Mildred 
fourth, Wun Lung's Pride fifth. 
The All-Age Pointer Stake. 
This stake showed better work, though at the best there 
was nothing brilliant in it. The best work, a few ex- 
hibitions by two or three dogs, was sharp and clean. 
Mr. G. T. Kerr, of Indianapolis, acted in place of Mr. Stod- 
dard, who had a dog to run in the stake The competition 
was skillfully handled and the dogs well placed. 
Following is the order of running of the ten starters: 
E. O. Damon's liver and white dog Strideaway (King of 
Kent— Pearl's Dot), Geo. Gray, handler, with L. W. Blank- 
enbaker's liver and white bitch Lad's Lady (Lad of Rush — 
Lady Margaret), Ed. Garr, handler. 
Hempstead Farm's liver and white dog Hempstead Duke, 
J. M. Avent, handler, with R. J. Martinez's liver and white 
dog Romp III. (Coney's Fritz— Dolly), R. J. McCartney, 
handler. 
W. T. Hunter's liver and white bitch Lady Peg II. (King 
of Kent — Lass of Bloonio), F. Richards, handler, ivitli Stod- 
dard & Kidwell's black and white dog Tick Boy (King of 
Kent— Bloomo), J. B. Stoddard, handler. 
W. N. Kerr's black and white bitch Queen Regent (King 
of Kent— Vickery's Daisy), Frank Richards, handler, with 
J. H. Alexander's liver and white dog Dick Beaufort (Spot- 
ted Boy— Gip Beaufort), B. W. Butterfield, handler. 
W. N. Kerr's liver and white dog Little Ned (Ridgeview 
Dazzle— Kate Claxton), F. Richards handler, with D. P. 
Ritchey's liver and white dog Don (Trinket's Coin— Moulton 
Patti), Ed. Garr, handler. 
The conditions of the stake were as follows: For pointers 
which had never won first in an All- Age stake in any recog- 
nized field trial in America. First prize $150: second, $125; 
third, $100; fourth, $75; fifth, $50. 
Strideaway ran in good form and showed excellent capa- 
bilities, though his work was not uniformilyup to the best 
standard. He ranged fast and beat out his ground with fair 
judgment. The bird work was difficult, owing to heavy 
cover, therefore too much should not be exacted for a 
standard of good work. 
Little Ned also displayed excellent capabilities. His speed 
and range were good though he did not beat out his ground 
always with the best of judgment. On birds he showed good 
sharp work and was easily second to Strideaway. 
Lad's Lady improved greatly on her Derby form, and made 
a creditable showing. 
Lady Peg II. ran much better than in the Derby and 
showed some meritorious work. 
Trick Boy was not runniug in his best form, but showed 
good qualities. 
First Round. 
Lad's Lady— Strideaway.— From the start at 8:20 in a 
large weed field, it was plain that Strideaway had not fallen 
off in form from last year. He ran strong and fast. They 
ran ten minutes, when the field being worked out it was 
necessary to go to other ground, which transfer consumed 
ten minutes. In woods, Strideaway pointed and Lady 
backed. No bird was found, but it was explained that a 
rabbit had run close by and two squirrels were in the tree 
overhead. Sent on, next Lady pointed well a bevy and 
Strideaway backed or pointed. Both were steady to shot. 
Rabbits were so plentiful that they were a nuisance in the 
competition. In a hollow in heavy brush, Lady pointed, 
roaded about 50yds. and pointed a bevy. The dogs were 
widely separated. In the meantime Strideaway had pointed 
some birds. The dogs were brought together, and Stride- 
away pointed some remaining birds of the bevy Lady had 
pointed. The heat ended at 9:47. Strideaway was the 
speedier and wider ranger, and both had done good point 
work. 
Hempstead Duke— Romp IH.— The heat began at 6:53 on 
some scattered birds of the last heat. They failed to find, 
though Duke pointed where the birds had lit. Romp pot> 
tered constantly, carried a low nose, showed, no -working 
speed and rarely went 20yds. from his handler. He showed 
no ability on birds. It was said that Romp was going 
through the circuit. It is only fair to say that he can not 
win in any company, and no doubt Mr. McCartney in a spirit 
of fairness will tell Romp's owner the same. Both roaded in 
heavy cover. The birds were running and nothing decisive 
in the way of point work was done on them. Duke pointed 
twice on singles in woods; Romp backed. Next, Duke 
pointed, roaded, pointed, and gave it up— no birds. Up at 
10:25. Duke did not work above ordinary. 
Lady Peg II.— Tick Boy.— They started at 10:45 in open 
weeds. Tick showed some lameness in his foreleg. He took 
a cast, pointed a bevy and was steady to shot. Lady flushed 
a single and stopped to wing and pointed the rest of the bevy, 
which flushed wild. In the open stubble Tick roaded down 
wind to a flush on a bevy. Next in woods on scattered birds 
Tick pointed and was steady to shot. Each pointed iu woods 
and nothing was found. Tick in open weeds pointed a 
single. Both pointed at the same time, moved on and Lady 
pointed the bevy; Tick backed. Lady flushed some scattered 
birds. In the open field Tick wheeled prettily to an accurate 
point on a single. Up at 11:18. Lady's point work was 
mixed, good and faulty. She showed fairly good range and 
speed. Tick did not show first-rate judgment in beating out 
his ground, and his point work was pretty good and partly 
poor. His range was wide. 
... -Queen Regent— Dick Beaufort.— The heat was a poor 
one, neither showing much merit. Queen ranged wider 
than Dick, though a narrow ranger herself. She pointed a 
single in woods, then moved on and flushed it. Afterward 
she made two flushes. Up at 11:48. 
The party went to lunch. 
At 12:53 the heat was resumed. Queen made a point on a 
bevy in corn and was steady to shot. Up at 1:26. 
Little Ned— Don.— At 1:29 they started in the open. Don 
pointed in corn, and was held some moments till a judge 
came up. Then he began roading. About SOyds. further on 
in the cornfield Ned pointed a bevy, but whether Don was 
roading it at first or not it is impossible to say. In woods
