Dick BlAiod and Peakl R. began at 9:41. Both dogs were 
difficult to handle, and the heat was a rare noisy one, there 
heing much scrambling, loud ordering and blowing of 
whistles. The performance was far short of the opportuni- 
ties, and there was a general air of insubordination about 
what the dogs did do. On some marked birds, Dick pointed 
a single bird. Sent on. A bevy on bare ground flushed 
ahead of Pearl. Dick pointed and Pearl backed; they moved 
on and Pearl pointed and Dick backed; both were steady to 
shot. Sent on. Pearl pointed a bevy. Each made two 
Eoints on singles. Dick flushed one. Up at 10;28. The 
andlers worked quite as hard as the dogs did. It was 
rather a wild, excited heat. 
Maiden Modesty and Doctok Tassie started at 10:34. 
Doctor flushed a bevy in the open. AVorking on the scat- 
tered birds, both pointed and a single was flushed close by. 
At the edge of woods Doctor pointed a bevy. Modesty 
pointed and was backed; nothing found. Up at 11:29. Doc- 
tor was the more workmanlike. 
Wise Child and Spokt McA. started at 11:40. On some 
scattered birds of a bevy in woods, nothing was done. Sport 
pointed on bare ground; nothing found. Sent on. Sport 
found and pointed two bevies. On scattered birds, each 
made several points. Up at 12:35. 
Sam's Bow and Lena Belle started at 1:47. Bow pointed 
a bevy in corn. Then Lena pointed and Bow backed. Bow 
pointed on scattered birds. Sent on. Sam pointed in bot- 
tom; he moved on and both dogs made game. Nothing 
found. Sent on, each flushed a bevy. On the scattered 
birds both lost many opportunities. Bow pointed a single, 
and next he pointed a bevy. Up at 3:05. Both ranged fairly 
well, the setter maintaining her range the better. 
Second Round, 
Dick Bland and Wise Child started at 3:42. Child 
pointed a bevy in run, and made a point on a single in 
woods. Dick was very headstrong. Both showed good 
speed. Wise Child bad the better of the heat. 
Pearl R. and Doctor Tas&ie began at 4:36. Doctor 
pointed a bevy nicely in open. Next, Pearl ran through a 
bevy in open field. Pearl next pointed a bevy in the open 
field. Sent on. Doctor caught scent, then drew to a point 
on the bevy; Pearl backed uncertainly for a moment, then 
jieemed to catch scent and pointed, the birds being near her. 
Doctor made three points on singles on dry leaves; Pearl 
flushed a single, pointed one, and next pointed a bevy. 
Next she pointed by the edge of thick briers, made game, 
and nothing was found. She was headstrong and hard to 
handle. She also was lacking in reliability when on birds. 
Doctor had much the best of the heat. This ended the 
day's work. 
Tuesday. 
The weather was clear and cool, but this condition added 
nothing to the quality of the competition, for the ground 
was dryer, and birds seemed to be more difficult to locate 
and point than they were in any previous day. 
SroET McA. AND Sam's Bow were cast ofif at 8:34. Soort 
was difficult to handle, and was working out of bounds part 
of the time. Bow was held up once while Sport was being 
searched for, an act which had the result of Sport securing 
a point without competition. Sent on. Sport was found 
pomting a bevy. A bevy next flushed near Sport in corn. 
Bow flushed a bevy down wind. Sport pointed two bevies; 
Bow coming in ahead of the pecond point, roaded to a point 
on the same bevy. Up at 9:39. The work on scattered birds 
was weak. Sport had the better speed and range, but he 
showed a decided lack of finish in his ranging to the gun, 
and in his training. 
Sport McA. and Pearl R. were allowed to rest till after 
lunch, the All- Age Stake being taken up in the meantime. 
They were started at 1:01. The heat was not noteworthy for 
any work above the commonplace as to quality, and as to 
quantity it was meagre. Pearl pointed a single well. A 
bevy was marked down in the open. Sport pointed, and 
Pearl backed; Sport roaded to a point on a single. Pearl, 
going down wind, flushed the bevy, and next she flushed a 
single. Up at 1:38. 
The All-Age Stake. 
There were a number of noted dogs in this stake, maSiy of 
which had competed in the E. P. T. C. trials in the previous 
week. There were twelve, as follows: 
Edw. A. Burdette's b., w. and t. setter bitch Ann of Ab- 
bottsford (Gladstone's Boy — Bohemian Girl), Geo. W. Rich- 
ards, handler, with J. W. Dunham's lem. and w.!poiater 
dog Elgin's Dash (Kent Elgin— Mack's Juno), D. E. Rose, 
handler. 
D. E. Rose's (agt) b., w. and t. setter dog Hurstbourne Zip 
(Tony Boy— Dimple), agent, handler, with Geo. E. Gray's 
(agt) b , w, and t. setter dog Sarsfield (Rodfleld— Opal), 
agent, handler. 
P. T. Madison's b , w. and t. setter dog Rodfield's Boy 
(Rodfield— Sue Gladstone), J. H. Johnson, handler, with H. 
• Ames's b., w. and t. setter bitch Christina (Blue Ridge Mark 
— Lou R.). D. E. Rose, handler. 
Eldred Kennels' b.. w. and t. setter dog Tony Gale (An- 
tonio—Miss Nellie Y.), D. E. Rose, handler, with C. B. 
• Pineo's 1. and w. pointer dog Young Rip Rap (Rip Rap- 
Pearl's Dot), Geo. E. Gray, handler. 
P. Lorillard, Jr.'s, b.. w. and t. setter dog Count Gloster 
(Eugene T.— Gloster's Girl), C. Tucker, handler, with Fox & 
Blythe's b., w. and t. setter dog Dave Earl (Count Gladstone 
I V . — Dan's Lady), J. H. Johnson, handler. 
E. A. Burdette's b., w. and t. setter dog Cincinnatus Pride 
(Cincinnatus— NelUe), Geo. W. Richards, handler, with P. 
M. Essig's b. , w and t. setter bitch Saragossa Belle (Gleam's 
Pink — Maud E ), J. H. Johnson, handler. 
Cincinnatus Pride won first on a very sound performance, 
sound in work to the sun, in the excellence of his locating 
.and pointing, in his rangeand judgment and in thequantity 
. of work done. He particularly excelled in work on running 
birds, or birds difficult to locate, and the judges put him to 
a mo.st severe test. He is a handsome dog, a bench show 
winner, and the excellent manner in which he repeated 
shows that he has a high class of merit. 
Tony Gale, second, ran with speed and fire some of the 
time, while at other times he let down in his range and 
needed urging to keep him at work. Some of his point work 
was excellent, some of it false and inaccurate, and the quan- 
tity of it was meager. In locating his birds he was very in- 
ferior. 
Count Gloster, third, ran prettily, but he picked out the 
easy going and did not excel as a finding dog. Some of his 
work on scattered birds was very good. He pointed inaccu- 
rately sometimes. His strongest qualities were his speed, 
stylish way of going, and wide range, the latter conducted 
with poor judgment. 
First Round. 
Ann of Abbottsford and Elgin's Dash started at 9:52 
Both pointed a bevy in corn, the bird presumably being 
Ann's. A bevy was seen to flush near them in corn. Ann 
pointed a single; Dash backed. Up at 10:28. Both ranged 
fast and wide, Ann the better in range, judgment and work 
on birds. She ran a very good heat. 
HuRSTEOXTRNE ZiP AND Saesfield began at 10:44. Zip 
made a false point; then sent on, he flushed a bevy. Sars- 
field was lost much of the time. He seemed to be diligently 
seeking birds, but out of bounds. Up at 11:31, The heat 
was a poor one. 
Rodfield's Bot and Christina started at 11:41. Chris- 
tina flushed a single, then failed to locate the bevy. Rod- 
field's Boy bolted and was not found till near the end of the 
heat. Christina ranged moderately well and showed poor 
judgment in ranging. Up at 12:21. 
Tony Gale and Yodng Rip Rap were cast ofiE at 1:54. 
Gale pointed a bevy in corn. Next Rip pointed, and the bevy 
flushed after Rip had moved on. Rip pointed a single. Up 
at 2:26. Both ranged moderately well. The heat was a poor 
one. 
Count Gloster and Dave Eael began af 2:37. Dave 
false-pointed several times, and Count did so once. On scat- 
tered birds, each pointed a single. Count was the faster and 
wider ranger. Dave exercised little judgment in his work. 
This heat had weak competition. Up at 3:51. 
Cincinnatus Pride and Saragossa Belle started at 4:03. 
Belle was sometimes inaccurate in her points. Pride 
pointed in the open, then roaded very skillfully and accu- 
rately up a hill into woods and pointed a bevy nicely. He 
next pointed a single. Belle found and pointed a bevy. On 
scattered birds. Belle pointed; Pride backed; Belle moved 
on and Pride shot rapidly ahead and pointed the bird. 
Pride showed an excellent class of all-round ability in his 
work, though the quantity of work was light, there being 
limited opportunities. 
Wednesday. 
The morning was sharply frosty, and a cool north wind 
blew throughout the day. A start was made at the Conover 
end of the grounds. 
Second Round. 
The second series was very fairly selected. 
Count Gloster and Tony Gale started at 8:46. Both 
went with dash, and ranged wide. Count picked out the 
easy going as much as possible, over wheat fields and plowed 
ground, and was romping much of the time. Tony was 
working with judgment, and seeking diligently. He pointed; 
nothing found; Gloster backed. Gloster pointed a bevy, and 
was nicely backed. Tony next pointed a bevy in weeds, and 
Gloster backed. On the scattered birds each made a good 
point, and afterward each made a point to which there was 
nothing. Gloster next pointed a bevy in open weeds. He 
next made two points, to which there was nothing, and Gale 
made a point and a flush on singles. Up at 9:.54. 
Young Rip Rap and Ann op Aubottsfoed were cast off 
at 10:06. The heat was a poor one. Rip was hard to handle, 
and was much of the time beyond control, while Ann was 
frivolous and unreliable, she being in season. Rip pointed 
a bevy in pines. Ann pointed some birds in woods, then 
fiushed them willfully. Next she pointed a single nicely. 
Next in woods she pointed; Rip backed; nothing found. Up 
at 11:11. 
Cincinnatus Pride and Elgin's Dash were cast off at 
11:24. This heat was the best working heat of the stake. 
Dash flushed a bevy, and made two points on singles, and a 
find and a point on a bevy. Pride pointed four bevies, made 
another point or back and flushed one single very awk- 
wardly, Dash pointing at the time, and Pride drawing by 
him. This was Pride's worst error. Other birds were seen 
to flush near the dogs, but it was impossible to determine 
the offender, if such there were, though there were grounds 
for suspicion that Da.sh was not an honest worker when out 
of sight. Down 1 hour. 
Count Gloster and CiNcnsiNATUs Pride were cast off at 
1:54, after lunch. Pride showed much the more useful range 
and judgment, though Gloster went quite as wide. Pride 
was being led on chain out of a bottom when he pointed a 
bevy. Up at 2:31. Pride had the better of this heat. 
Tony Gale and Pride were started at 2:37. This was a 
hard trial for Pride, it being his third consecutive heat. He 
nevertheless was going with undiminished speed and range, 
far excelling Tony, the latter going with little interest, beat- 
ing out his ground without any plan, and coming in fre- 
quently to his handler, who ordered and encouraged him to 
go on. Tony pointed a bevy which he found without much 
effort in seeking. Immediately afterward Pride pointed a 
bevy. Both were steady to shot. JJp at 2:49. This ended 
the trials. 
THE BROOKLYN DOG SHOW. 
The bench show of the Metropolitan Kennel Club, held 
In Brooklyn, beginning on Nov. 24, bad 738 entries. It 
was nicely managed, and nearly all the judging was com- 
pleted by the evening of the first day. The attendance was 
fairly good, particularly on the first day, though as to it 
being good enough to make the show a financial success 
thete is some doubt. There were many noted fanciers, among 
which were: H. G. Trevor, Dr. Huidekoper, A 0. Wil- 
merding, C. D. Bernheimer, James Watson, Woodruff Sut-

point of merit they were pleasingly strong. Furlough Lodge 
Kennels took the kennel prize. George W. Lovell's Shot- 
away was first in challenge class, Soibs. and over; George 
W. Gould's Ridgeview Comet taking first in the challenge 
class for dogs under 55lbs., while his two bitches, Georgie

A Dog Show Stock Company. 
Editor Forest and Stream: 
At the Brooklyn show the idea was broached of organiV 
ing a stock company with a capital of $10 000 for the pur- 
pose of backing and holding dog shows under the auspices of 
local clubs throughout the country. The exhibitors took to 
it more than kindly, and there seems no doubt about raising 
the capital. The most experienced and popular manager in 
the country will be identified with the project, and the pros- 
pectus of the new company is promised at an early date. 
The advantages of the scheme are apparent: an increased 
number of shows, and the relieving of a few enthusiasts in 
each localKy of responsibility and possible loss. With 
proper management such capital would in all probability- 
prove remunerative to the stockholders in the near future. 
We are awaiting further particulars, which will, no doubt, 
be of considerable interest to exhibitors. Buooklyn. 
Champion Field Trial Association. 
Owing to the disbandment of the Union Field Trial Club, 
the Tupelo trials of that club have been declared off, and the 
directors of the Champion.ship Association have placed the 
date of the trials of that Association, Jan. 24, 1898. They 
are to be run at New Albany, Miss., instead of Tupelo. En- 
tries for dogs now eligible to close on Dec. 15 next, with .$15 
forfeit. W. B. Stafford. 
• POINTS AND FLUSHES. 
The date of the Champion Stake has been changed to Jan. 
24, and the place for running it will be New Albany, Miss., 
instead of 'Tupelo. There is already much interest mani- 
fested in it, and there is every probability that the affair will 
be a success, 
Mr. Geo. Richards goes to Vinton, Miss., for the winter. 
Mr. Geo. Gray will locate somewhere in the South for 
the winter, probably in Mississippi or northern AlabamaT 
Mr. J. H. Johnson returns to his home in Carlisle, Ind., 
and later will train all winter at Saltillo, Miss. Mr. C. E. 
Buckle goes to northern Mississippi to train for the winter. 
The handlers thought seriously of taking up the trials 
where they were abandoned by the defunct "Union Field 
Trials Club, and running them at Tupelo, Miss., but on 
mature deliberation the matter was dropped. 
While beating about for scattered birds in a heat in the 
Eastern trials, one of the handlers stopped and in a beseech- 
ing tone said to Col. Meriiman, who was judging: "I don't 
know where these birds are." "What have you got your 
smell dog for?" said the judge. The handler then went on 
searching for birds. 
Rip Rap K., a son of Rip Rap, dam Oroxie Kent, died in' 
California on the 15th inst. Much was expected of him in 
improving the breeding of pointers of the coast. He was 
owned by W. C. Kennedy, of Fresno. Distemper caused 
his death. 
St. Hubert's Inn, at Newton, N. C , won the good opinion 
of the sportsmen guests, the lunches in particular for their 
excellence breaking all field trial hotel records. 
Capt, C. E. McMurdo was warmly received by his old 
friends after an absence of two or three seasons from the 
field trial competition, and as to his old friends, they are. 
everyone who ever met him. He will train at Tyro Shops, 
N. C., this winter. 
Mr. C. E. Buckle goes to Mississippi soon to locate for 
the winter, to train the youngsters of the Charlottesville 
Field Trial Kennels and to compete iu the winter trials.
