did. his competitor, and displayed a greater degree of in- 
telligence than did Two Spot. 
Vic's Vic and Lottie Lorraine concluded the third 
totmd with the usual result — ^no game found. General 
principles and what had happened in previous heats were 
necessarily accepted as data. There was but little differ- 
ence in the performance of the two dogs. They were run 
about fifteen minutes. 
Final. 
Vic's Vic and Two Spot were put down to determine 
the matter of second and third place between them, and 
the heat ended in a quarter of an hour. No birds were 
found. Vic dallied on sonic foot scent and made a false 
point, and was not equal in pace and range to Two Spot. 
The judges announced the winners as follows: First, 
Oakley Hill; second, Two Spot; third, Vic's Vic; fourth, 
Lottie Lorraine. 
The All-Age Stake. 
This stake was fairly well filled, having twenty-seven 
starters. The competition of it began on Friday morn- 
ing, Sept. I. Most of the dogs had very pretty names, and 
some had names which were long as well as pretty, but all 
had pedigrees which were A-ery bulky. The day was 
notable for the effort of twenty-seven dogs in competition 
without a point to their credit. However, in this they 
all did not grade alike, for some were unfortunate in not 
finding birds, others seemed to be unfortunate in not 
being able to find any, while others again found them, but 
seemed to be better able to flush than to point. As a 
whole, the day was warm and a southeast wind prevailed, 
which no doubt was the cause of the poor work of the 
dogs, for it is rather more pleasing to lay the fault to the 
wind than to dogs or trainers. The wind was not par- 
ticularly in the competition, but in a case of this kind the 
gopd of the public demands that the wind should bear the 
.odium, particularly as it has no pedigree. 
The following are the All-Age starters, with order

First Round. 
Oakley Hill and Tick's Pearl were drawn to run first, 
but owing to the bad condition of one of Hill's eyes he 
was withdrawn, and it was decided that the bye dog, 
Dash, would run in - his place. The . latter, not being 
present, caused the postponement of the heat till later in 
the day. The next brace was then called, and started at 
5:25. . ^ 
Faustina and Dot's Jingo soon disappeared beyond a 
swell in the prairie, and a covey of chickens were seen to 
fly hurriedly from their vicinity. The judges could not 
see which dog was in fault, or whether both were equally 
guilty. Jingo scored a flush. Faustina led in the ranging 
for a while. Jingo following, but soon he began working 
independently. 
Sport's Gath and Tick's Duke wer^ distinctly opposite 
in all the details of their work, the latter being apathetic 
m the presence of game, displayed no nose on the 
numerous birds which were found, and was perfectly m- 
different to them, capping the vvhoie Vv'it-h slovv speed and 
poor range. Gath on the other hand ranged wide and 
fast, and displayed good hunting abilities. He made a 
point on the foot scent of a bevy which had been flushed. 
Royal Chick and Spark Druid were good rangers and 
had good speed, though the latter was the better of the 
two in these particulars. Their work was pleasing and 
very good, excepting that they were not tried on game. 
FOREST AND STREAM. 
though Druid made a point on a turkey which Royal 
Chick scorned to back. One hour and eighteen minutes 
were devoted to them. 
Lady Lea and Lady Fan of Zippo, while amply long on 
names, were somewhat short on performance, as after 
running about thirty minutes tliey could produce nothing 
better than a false point to the credit of each. As her 
name suggests high living, so was Lady Fan of Zippo 
troubled with much embonpoint, which unfitted her for 
the coarse effort necessary in hunting for chickens, so she 
limited her eft"orts within ladylike moderation as to range 
and speed. Lea worked pleasingly to the gun, covered a 
great deal of ground, is speedy and carries herself 
stidishly. 
Tick's Dot and Mack were cast off at 9:30. Mack 
refused to leave his handler's heels, and after a short 
time the judges consented to his withdrawal. Dot con- 
tinued alone to the end of the heat, slowing his pace to- 
ward the close. No birds were found. 
Gay of Zippo and Gretchen IL began at 11:22. Gay 
opened his work with two flushes, one on a single bird, the 
other on the covey, Gretchen showing a disposition to 
chase. No more birds were found. Of the two, Gretchen 
was much the better in range, speed and judgment, she 
beating out a good area of ground and acting like a good 
hunting dog. 
Marks and Sport's Destiny were cast off after lunch. 
The latter soon made two excusable flushes. Next Marks 
made a rigid false point, and sent on, he next roaded to a 
flush on a single bird. 
Star Pointer and Ightfield Chic began at 3 :23, and they 
worked diligenth^ and well to the end of the heat, beating 
out a lot of ground and were plainly in hard luck m strik- 
ing a section barren of chickens at the time. They worked 
indu.striously and made a good impression in their favor. 
Sam Clark and Ruth T. Etol began their competition 
at 4 :0/, and at tlie end of their half-hour they had found 
no chickens, though Ruth made an excellent point on a 
flock of turkeys, whicli was equally well backed by Sam. 
Both made a good showing as to range, judgment and 
speed. 
Ten of Hearts and Faust were of the conservative 
kind, livening up their walk with a trot betimes, but care- 
fiflly avoiding a greater distance from their handlers than 
25yds., preferring loyds. as the most comfortable and 
acceptable. No merits nor demerits on game. 
Bill Still and Brown's Queen Vic were particularly 
favored in good opportunities for point work under favor- 
able conditions, but they both failed lamentably in execu- 
tion, errors talcing the place of what should have been 
finished good work. The cool and damp of evening had 
taken the place of the extreme heat of the midday time, 
.".nd the range, speed and judgment in working out their 
groimd promised well for the good performance of both 
dogs on game. Vic made the first error, a flush on a 
single bird ; Bill made the second, a flush on a bevy of 
chickens, and next Vic, further on. flushed a bevy. The 
bevy fluslics were errors without an excuse, for the hour, 
wind and other conditions were favorable for points. 
Queen and Fritz of Zippo were cast off about 6:10. On 
the ground worked over in the morning, each made a 
flush. Fritz was the better ranger. 
Dash and Tick's Pearl had the evening hour. Dash 
pointed on the trail of an old cock, and in trying to hit 
the trail right the bird flushed wild ahead. Pearl joined 
in the roading on the same bird. They were ordered up 
at 7:31. Their range and speed were ordinary. 
Second Round. 
Besides the eight dogs kept in the competition 
three more were reserved and ordered to be brought along 
for trial again in case ^he judges decided that they wished 
to give them^ further trial. There was no tarrying in the 
mjDrning, the first brace being cast off at 5 •.52. 
Gretchen II. and Sport's Destiny opened the second 
lound, the latter exciting much hope by pointing, but it 
proved to be a lark. They were ordered up at 6:09. 
Destiny ranged well and worked with good judgment, 
excelling her competitor, which worked irregularly. 
Ruth T. Etol and Tick's Dot began at 6:19. Dot 
pointed; Ruth passed and stole the point; nothing found, 
though birds were found a short distance further on, and 
Ruth scored a flush. Ruth ranged well and at good 
speed, far excelling her work in her previous heat. 
Sam Clark and Lady Lea were turned out to work on 
the scattered birds, but aside from pointing on foot 
scent, nothing was done. They ran about forty minutes. 
Both were erratic workers. 
Royal Chic and Sport's Gath had a heat which was 
short' of a bird. Gath made a point which Chic refused 
to back; nothing to the point. 
Spark Druid and Dot's Jingo began operations on a 
jackrabbit. Druid pointed it, and was steady to fur; 
Jingo started coursing, and gave a brief exhibition of a 
greyhound, turning the jack back near by Druid, who 
joined in for a few jumps. Both dogs made a fine displa3f 
ot range, speed and judgment. 
Faustina and Dash made such a poor showing that they 
were ordered up in about fifteen minutes. 
Star Pointer and Tick's Pearl fared in manner similar 
to Faustina and Dash. 
Sport's Destiny and Ightfield Chic were given another 
trial, and both ran in much improved form. Chic came 
very near making two points, but the bird flew each time 
before she had quite settled to the point. 
Lady Lea and Ruth T. Etol had the concluding heat 
of the trials. Ruth pointed and moved on; Lady made 
game at the same place and was steadying to a point when 
the bird flushed wild. This ended a trial which was re- 
markable for what was not done more than for what 
was done. 
The party then went to lunch, after which the judges 
announced the winners as follows; First, Spark Druid; 
second, Dot's Jingo; third. Sport's Gath; divided fourth, 
Sport's Destiny and Ightfield Chic.

West Canada Trials. 
La Sai.le, Man., Sept. 6. — The West Canada Ken- 
nel Club's trials opened here under most favorable con- 
ditions, and those which were deserving of a larger at- 
tendance than appeared from the several States. If field 
trial promoters only knew the almost perfect conditions, 
doubtless they would be tempted to select La Salle for 
future events. The birds were in great abundance, so) 
that they furnished ample material for testing the v/ork 
of the dogs and giving full play to each brace. No time 
was lost by want of material. 
The affair was marked by good feeling and coniradeship 
throughout. In some instances, indeed, it was difficult tO' 
tell who were the most pleased with the result, those whO' 
won or those who lost, who were free with their con- 
gratulations. 
In the absence of the regularly appointed judge, Presi- 
dent E. Hamber filled that role most successfully for the 
Derby, and Mr. D. E. Rose gave to the All-Age Stake 
the benefit of his full experience and knowledge in all 
that pertains to field trials and work on game. 
Among those present were Messrs. E. Collier, T. N. 
Scott, H. G. Spurgeon, W. Pickering, A. S. Code, Pat 
Cooper and Messrs. Rawlston, Wh'te, Lemond, Mc- 
Arthur, Clarke and St. Clair. The award of the silver 
cup presented by Mr. Jno. Wooton, President of the 
Northwestern Club, to Mr. White's English setter, Mani- 
toba Prairie, appeared well deserved. The All-Age collar 
and silver chain went to Mr. Code's Bang III. The 
weather was cool and invigorating, and the birds were 
active. The entries were : 
AU-Age Stake. 
J. R. Waghorn's b. and w. pointer dog Go Bang, H. G. 
Spurgeon, handler, with Hamber and Code's b, and w. 
pointer dog MacHamber (Croxteth's Ned — Mamie), E. 
Llamber, handler. 
C. W. Graham's b., w. and t. English setter dog Gladia- 
tor II. (Gladstone's Boy— Queen Novice), ow^ier, handler, 
with A. Gale's 1. and w. pointer dog Swift, owner, liandler. 
Hamber and Code's b. and w. pointer dog Bang HI. 
(Rector — Dinah), E. Hamber, handler, with A. Gale's b.

J. Lemon's b. and w. pointer dog Sport (Buster — Belle), 
owner, handler, with A. Gale's 1. and w. pointer dog

The Derby* 
The drawing was as follows; all were handled by 
owners :

Prairie Bird, first; Mr. H. Cooper's Morden Jess, second; 
Mr. J. Lemon's Piccolo, third. In All-Age Stake : Messrs. 
Hamber and Code's Bang HI. and MacHamber first and
