[Dec. 15, 1900, i 
feet overhead into the branches of a tree, and he held 
his point till it flushed. Count pointed a single. Count 
was the faster and wider, although Senator ranged 
moderately well. The heat and the day's running ended 
at 4 :59- 
Thursday, Dec. 6, Fourth Day, 
The morning was clear and sharply frosty. In the 
shadows the white frost was sharply outlined in contrast 
to the melted frost in the sunshine. For some unknown 
reason the birds were difficult to find, and therefore were 
not found plentifully. The first round of the All Age 
Stake was continued- 
Sioux and Why Not Avere cast off at 8:38. The dogs 
were worked to find a bevy near the railroad. Sioux was 
out of sight for a few moments under the brow of the 
-fiill. Avent searching for her, called point and a bevy of 
birds flushed at the same time. Whether she pointed the 
bevy or not is officially unknown. The birds were fol- 
lowed into woods. Why Not pointed, and a bird flushed 
out of a tree overhead. Next he pointed a single. Sioux 
pointed, roaded and pointed; nothing found. Sioux was 
extremely difficult to handle. Sioux next pointed a bevy 
and was steady to shot. Up at 9:36. Why Not ranged 
much the better to the gun, and was speedy and wide in 
range. Sioux was on the border land of swift unman- 
agableness, and therefore had a strong claim to the fic- 
titious high class. 
Roysterer and Dr. Brown started at 9:43. Roysterer 
pointed at the edge of woods and was backed. Next he 
was lost and was found point'ng on a side hill in woods. 
One of the judges flushed a single some 30 yards away. 
Up at 10:28. Roysterer had an irregular range, and was 
difficult to handle. Doctor had middling range and speed. 
Second Round, 
Six dogs were resen-ed to compete further. 
Hal's Hope and Lady's Count were cast oi¥ at 10:53. 
Count made two points to wh'ch nothing was found. 
Count, in an open weed field, pointed a bevy well; Hope 
backed ; both were steady to shot. On the scattered birds 
in woods, Hope flushed two singles, and Count pointed 
one. Up at 11 -.42. 
Minnie's Girl and Geneva were cast off at 11:52. Min- 
nie's Girl was lost for some moments, and after much 
search a bevy was seen to flush back on the course al- 
ready passed over, and Minnie was seen stand ng on a 
point close by the place where the bevy flushed. She held 
her point, and Geneva was called in to back. She pasred 
close by, refused to obey orders and cast off independently. 
It requ'red some minutes to find and control her. In the 
meanjme, Minnie was sent on to work on the scattered 
birds in woods. She cast through the woods. After a 
long search Mr. Rose found her. He reported that she 
was found pointing a bevy. Up at 12 :48. Geneva had 
speed and range, but was difficult to handle and found 
nothing. Minnie was wise in her work. 
Oakley Hill and Sioux were started at i :48, after lunch. 
At 1:50 Sioux was lost, and was found on a point on a 
bevy in pines on the course passed over a short time 
prev'ously. The dogs were gotten together again at 2:15. 
Oakley pointed a bevy in open weeds and Sioux backed. 
Both were steady to shot. ■ On the scattered birds in 
woods, Sioux flushed. Next Oakley pointed scattered 
birds, and Sioux at the same time pointed; foot scent 
probably. Oakley made three points on the scattered 
birds, in one of which points Sioux joined, besides ma- 
king one po-nt on a single. Oakley completely outworked 
Sioux on these birds. Up at 2 :42. In this heat Sioux 
was practically unmanageable at times. Oakley Hill 
v\'orked pleasingly to the gun was quite as fast as 'S'oux, 
though apparently going much slower, and was a sensible 
though not a wide ranger. Sioux had a quick, short stride 
which was much slower than it seemed. Oakley had a 
long stride, slow apparently in comparison, j^et when he 
and Sioux ran side by side there was no important 
difference. 
The judges announced the winners in the following 
order: Oakley Hill, Minnie's Girl and Sioux. 
The Subsctiplion Stake. 
There were ten starters in this stake, and this repre- 
sented the full number of subscriptions. This stake was 
begun immediately after the All Age was concluded. The 
handlers rode on horseback. 
The dogs were drawn in the following order : 
G. G. Williamson's b., w. and t. setter dog Sport's Gath 
(Marie's Sport— Marie's Fleet), D. E. Rose, handler, with 
Geo. Crocker's o. and w. setter dog Gilt Edge (Count 
Gladstone IV.— Lillian Russell). S. C. Bradlev, handler. 
C. F. Hartmetz's b.. w. and t. setter dog Oakley Hill 
(Rodfield— Susie D.), D. E. Rose handler, with Avent 
& Duryea's b., w. and t. setter dog Dot's Rov (Orlando— 
DoUie Wilscu), J. M. Avent, handler. 
P. Lonllard, Jr.'s. b., w. and t. setter bitch Peg's Girl 
■ (Rodfield— Lady Webster). C. Tucker, handler, wth 
Avent & Duryea's b., w. and t. setter bitch S'oux (Count 
Gladstone IV.— Hester Phrynne), J. M. Avent, handler. 
P. Lorillard, Jr.'s. b., w. and t. setter bitch Ltnabelle 
(Sam— Mamie). C. Tucker, handler, with Geo. Crocker's 
o. and w. setter bitch Minnie's Girl (Antonio— Minnie 
T.), S. C. Bradley, handler. 
P. Lorillard, Jr.'s, b., w. and t. fetter bitch Geneva 
(Tony Boy— Lenabelle). C. Tucker, handler, whh Avent 
& Duryea's b,, w. and t. setter bitch Lady Rachel (Count 
Gladstone IV.— Hester Phrynne), J. M. Avent, handler. 
This stake was a free for all, open to all setters and 
pointers, regardless of previous w'nnings. Fee, $25. En- 
tries to be named at time of drawing. Purse, $300; $200 
to first, $100 to second. Heats. First heats, one and one- 
half hours each. 
The winner of first. Sport's Gath. competed in fine form. 
The honors of the first series, in respect to the merits of 
the first heat, were between him and Lenabelle. Gath 
ranged well and with excellent judgment, and his execu- 
tion on birds was skillful and accurate. Lenabelle found 
m.ore bevies, but had the advantage of more favorable 
weather when the birds were out feeding. She far ex- 
celled Sioux's performance in many respects. 
.Sioux, winner of second, is distinctly difficult to handle, 
with moments betimes when she can not be handled at all! 
There was more occasion to hunt up Sioux anci keep watch 
tff SioliSc anti gallop JjBSrgfes tpr Sioux than there was fbr 
all the rest of the dogs in the stake together. She had 
excellent finding abilities, but they were exercised with 
little reference to the gun. When a dog finds well with- 
out due heed to the gun, it does not always follow that 
such dog will work equally well when forced to work to 
the gun. The reason is that the dog will put an en- 
thusiasm into his efforts when working for himself that he 
will not when working for his master. 
Sport's Gath and Gilt Edge were cast off at 2:55. Gath 
cast wide and with good judgment, coming around to 
observe the whereabouts of his handler in due time. Gath 
pointed a bevy beside a ditch, and was backed by Gilt; 
the latter was slightly unsteady to wing and shot. Gilt 
pointed a bevy in bottom. Gilt pointed next in the open 
field. Nothing found. Gath pointed a bevy in the open 
and was backed by Gilt. This was a clean, good piece of 
work. The birds were not followed. Gi!t flushed an out- 
ly'ng bird then pointed the bevy. Gath ranged wide and 
fast, with due regard to the gun. 
Friday, Dec, 7, Filth Day. 
The weather was cool, cloudy and calm. The specta- 
tors were few in number. Birds were found plentifully at 
times, while at other times there was seemingly a dearth. 
Toward noon the sun shone clear, and the afternoon was 
pleasant and favorable for good work. The grade of the 
competition was quite good. 
Dot's Roy and Oakley Hill were cast off at 8 :50. vSoon 
both were out of sight over the brow of a hill, and both 
were found pointing a bevy. Sent on. In the open Oakley 
wheeled to a point and was backed ; nothing found. Ta- 
king a cast across wind, some distance away in an open 
field, Oakley wheeled to a point and the bevy flushed a 
moment afterAvard. In woods, both pointed the scattered 
birds, and Oakley made a point on a single^ Next on a 
side hill in sedge Roy pointed a bevy, Oakley casting in 
and pointing about 40 yards ahead of Roy, on the foot 
scent probably, Roy mode two points on the scattered 
birds in pines; Oakley made one. Both were steady to 
shot when cautioned. In pine Oakley pointed a single. 
Roy flushed a bevy in open weeds, presumably as the 
birds were on the wing when his handler called point. 
Oakley was the better in judgment, good range and bird 
work. " * ''^ 
Sioux and Peg's Girl were cast off at 10:30. Sioux 
found and pointed three bevies, one of which she was up 
wind when she {)ointed, and reading on lost the scent. 
The horsemen flushed the birds as they rode up. She 
made four points and two flushes on singles, and one 
po'nt to which nothing was found. Peg found and pointed 
a bevy, made four points on singles and a flush on another, 
and one point to which there was nothing. Sioux was not 
entirely reliable on back. Both were speedy. Peg was 
not acquainted with her handler and was difficult to con- 
trol. Sioux was disobedient and was handled with diffi- 
culty. 
Lenabelle and Minnie's Girl were cast off at 12:57, after 
lunch. Lenabelle found and pointed five bevies, made 
three good points on scattered birds, backed nicely, and 
was steady to shot. Minnie found and pointed a bevy, and 
made three good points on scattered birds. Each backed 
well. Lenabelle ranged wisely, covered a great deal of 
ground in a pleasing manner, and was very speedy. Min- 
nie apparently was not running in her best form. 
Geneva and Lady Rachel began at 2:42. Both rcaded 
and pointed repeatedly where crows had flushed in an 
open field. Sent on. On a side hill in pines, Geneva 
pointed a bevy. Lady made several points on the scat- 
tered birds,; Geneva made two. In open weeds Geneva 
pointed a bevy, and Lady at the same tmie some distance 
away pointed another bevy. Looking for the scattered 
birds, Geneva pointed another bevy. On the singles, Lady 
made two flushes; Geneva made a point and a flush. 
Geneva pointed a bevj' in open weeds. A bevy was seen 
to flush in opsn weeds. Lady close by it at the time. 
Geneva pointed the scattered birds. Geneva ranged well 
and her bird work was commendably good. Lady's work 
was of mixed character, good and faulty. 
This concluded the work of the day. 
The judges announced that Sport's Gath, Lenabelle and 
Sioux would be required to run in the second round. 
Saturday, Dec. 8, Sixth Day. 
The morning was cool, clear and pleasant. As the 
sun rose higher the temperature became warm and com- 
fortable. Birds were out feeding, and consequently were 
found readily. 
Second Rouiid. 
Sport's Gath and Sioux were- cast off at 9:03. Both 
dogs began ranging merrily. Gath dropped to a point in 
sedge in scattered pines. S:oux was called in passed 
close by and broke away into the pine woods. She was 
not controllable. Gath roaded rn cautiously, but nothing 
was found. He acted as if he were on the trail of a bevy, 
and such was probably the ca e but it had flushed. Sent 
on. After ranging a while, Gath dropped to a point on a 
bevy in weeds. Sioux called in to back, point ejl the same 
bevy. On the scattered birds in scant cover each pointed. 
Gath ne.xt dropped to a point on a bevy in open weeds ; 
backed. Sioux flushed a single excusably. The dogs 
became separated. Gath in woods, on the course pointed a 
bevy. At the same time, Sioux, some 300 or 400 yards 
away, was found reading when the judge arrived and 
poin.ed as the birds flushed. Up at 9:59. Gath beat 
Sioux from start to finish. At no time in the race did 
she class with him. She was unmanageable most of the 
time, and gave little heed to the gun. 
Lenabelle was cast off at 10:09 with Sam T. for a 
brace mate. The latter was handled by Mr. Theodore 
Sturges. At a ford Lenabelle was lost some minutes. She 
was found on a point on a bevy in dense cover; Sam T. 
had made a point on it in the open, aixl was held so long 
that the birds ran. Sent on. In wroods Lenabelle next 
pointed a bevy and Sam coming in flushed it. Lenabelle 
pointed a bird accurately in woods. Sam pointed a bevy 
in the open weeds. As Lenabelle came in the he\ry flushed 
close by in front of the horses. Up at 10:58. Lenabelle 
was not going with the dash and range of the previous 
day, yet she was diligent and ranged usefully. 
The judges, after a brjef consultation, announced that 
Sport's Gath was first and Sioux second.

Notice. 
All communications intended for Forest and Stream should 
always be addressed to the Fotest and Stream Publishing Co., and 
not to any individual connec^:ed with the paper. 
The daily papers have had much to say about what is 
going on at the Herreshoff yard at Bris.ol, but as a mat- 
ter of fact very little is known about the true state of 
affairs there. The work of laying down the new Cup 
defender is well under way, and will be completed shortly. 
Although the lead keel has not yet been run, ac ive prepa- 
rations are being made for the work. In the sail loft sev- 
eral of the head sails have been completed and a mainsail 
has been cut and is now being put together. It is said 
that all the spars with the exception of the bowsprit and 
spinaker pole will be of steel. 
It is now an assured fact that there will be a third 
boat in the trial races for the America Cup. Boston has 
not been represented by a trial boat since 1893, the year 
that Jubilee and Pilgrim came out. Considering Jubilee's 
faulty rigging, she made a most excellent showing, and 
her real capabilities were never known. The new Boston 
boat will have all the necessary requirements to make her 
a formidable competitor — an owner with plenty of money, 
an excellent designer, a tried builder and the best pro- 
curable amateur for skipper. As the owner of the new 
boat is not a member of the N. Y. Y. C, there has 
been some talk as to his right to enter his boat in the trial 
races, but that this will be satisfactorily arranged is indi- 
cated by the sportsmanlike statement of the mai-iager of 
the New York boat, who, when he was informed of the 
probability of there being a third trial horse, .said, "The 
more the merrier." 
Lazy Jack. 
The increasing popularity among yachtsmen for boats 
of the knockabout type has indluced the designers' to 
put their best energies into the development of these 
boats, and for that reason it has been difficult to secure 
designs of modern catboats. The catboat still has many 
arent admirers, and it is to their wants particularly that 
we publish plans of Lazy Jack, although this excellent 
little boat will interest all yachtsmen. 
Lazy Jack was designed about a year ago for Mr. 
H. B. Wyeth, a member of the Seaside Park Y. C, 
whose headquarters are in Barnegat Bay, and buflt by 
W. B. Kirk, of Toms River, N. J. She was designed and 
built on purpose to sail for, the Sewell Cup, offered by 
.Senator Sewell, for catboats not exceeding 25-foot cor- 
rected length. The problem was to turn out a boat fast 
enough to win, and still have a boat with good cruising 
qualities and accommodations, without going into ex- 
termely light or expensive construe ion, .A.lthough sailed 
hard the entire .season, being launched early in the 
spring, she has not shown the least sign of strain or 
leaka,ge. The jib shown in the sail plan was used only 
in crusing, the bowsprit and all headgear being removed 
ior racing, leaving only a head stay to the s:em. In her 
races she carried only 8olbs. of ballast, and i,6oolbs. 
while cruising. The design practically shows the highest 
development to date of the racing cape cat, built for a 
length and sail area rule, to which, by the way, they are 
hardly suited. 
During the past summer the boat was entered in eight 
races. Her first two races were under the flag of the 
Island Heights Y. C, in competition for the Webb Cup. 
In the first of these two races she started several minutes 
after the handicap .gun had been fired, owing to Iwo 
breakdowns, but after weathering in fine shape a heavy 
squall, she passed everything in the fleet, and was the 
leading boat when the race was declared off from lack 
of wind and inability to finish within the time limit. 
In this race about a dozen boats were entered. The 
second race for this cup was also a failure ; she was the 
leading one at the finish. In the race for the Sewell Cup 
the Lazy Jack was far in the lead of everyehing in the 
fleet, and had the race well in hand when she grounded 
and was held on the bar nearly five minutes. In spite 
of this great delay she finally finished third, being beaten 
by a very small margin, 2 minutes and 43 seconds. In 
the race for the Manhasset Cup of the Seaside Park Y. 
C. she was first by 2 minutes and 58 seconds. In the 
first of the three races .for Ladies' Cup of this club, she was 
first by a small margin; in the second, she won by a very 
handy margin, but was disqualified on account of a 
technicality; in the third of the races she was first by 
5 mJnutes and 31 seconds. Her most decisive victory of 
the season was in the open race for the championship 
of Barnegat Bay. held under the auspices of the Island 
Heights Y. C. This race she won from a field of n^arb^ 
fifteen boats, by 6 minutes, and 35 seconds, corrected 
time. Her eight races may thus be summarized: Four 
firsts, one second, one third and two no races.
