was presented to Mr. P. H. Bryson, of 
White’s Station, Tennessee, when a pup. 
Hence hi"', career was entirely in this 
country. Gath was whelped in this coun- 
try, the son of Count Noble, who was im- 
ported from England when one year old. 
Lieut. Miller states: “Meanwhile, litter 
brothers and sisters of the above dogs 
were producing champs; Roderigo gave 
us, besides Antonio, Jessie Rodfield, La- 
nark Lad and Tony Boy.” If Lieut. 
Miller means that all of these dogs were 
descendants of Roderigo, the statement is 
correct, but I do not think that the con- 
text admits of this interpretation. Jes- 
sie Rodfield was a great-granddaughter 
of Roderigo, Lanark Lad a great-grand- 
son and Tony Boy a grandson. 
“The original Gleam was a Laverack 
(Lincoln-Blake) , but the present Gleams 
are mostly Llewellyn, County Gleam be- 
ing a son of Lady’s Count Gladstone.” 
If Lady’s Count Gladstone ever had a son 
named Count Gleam, I never heard of 
him. Count Gleam was a litter brother 
to the great English setter sire, May Fly, 
by May Prince out of Glory. The orig- 
inal Gleam was not a Laverack. Gleam 
was by Lincoln, a Duke-Rhoebe-Laverack, 
out of Blaze. The latter by Llewellyn’s 
Sam out of Countess Bear. The latter 
was a Llewellyn, but the former was by 
Sargent, a Llewellyn, out of Armstrong’s 
Old Kate. Old Kate was never claimed 
as a Llewellyn until long after her death 
when her distant progeny had estab- 
lished a strong family. Then it was 
that the Llewellyn fanciers suddenly 
discovered that she was a full sister to 
Barclay Field’s Duke, and thus entitled 
to a Llewellyn pedigree. The present 
Gleams are English or Llewellyn, depend- 
ing upon the other blood in their pedi- 
grees. It is a mistake, however, to speak 
of a dog as a “Gleam.” There is no 
“Gleam” strain. The blood of Gleam is 
highly prized in a pedigree, but as Gleam 
was only one dog, there cannot be a 
“Gleam” strain. 
Again Lieut. Miller says: “All the 
Count Whitestone dogs have considerable 
Laverack blood in them through Queen 
Stella.” Queen Stella does not appear in 
Count Whitestone’s pedigree. All Lle- 
wellyns have considerable Laverack blood 
in them because a Llewellyn is a dog trac- 
ing back to the Duke-Rhoebe-Laverack 
combination, but the descendants of 
Count Whitestone do not have any 
greater proportion of Laverack blood 
in them than any other Llewellyns. 
Referring to the Llewellyns, the Lieu- 
tenant says: “They do well on grouse, 
also, for they won all three prizes in 
the grouse stakes of the Pennsylvania 
field trials in 1916, first being won by 
Lamberton’s Mack (Momoney - Susan 
Howard), second by Count Gladstone’s 
Glad (Lady’s Count Gladstone-Fairland 
Ruby), and third being divided between 
Mae Whitestone (Babblebrook Joe-Lady 
Naney Whitestone) and Eugym Mohawk 
(Eugene M. Wilson’s Bettie White- 
stone).” That Llewellyns do well on 
grouse is not questioned, but of these 
dogs only Count Gladstone’s Glad is reg- 
istered as a Llewellyn; the others are 
straight English setters.

After a big day’s fish- 
ing or hunting or just 
tramping around it feels 
mighty good to stretch 
out full length on a 
comfortable Gold Medal 
Cot — and rest. And with Mosquito Netting over the Mosquito Frame 
attached, there is freedom from all insect pests. 
Besides the comfort they give, Gold Medal cots are convenient, light 
and strong. They fold compactly for shipping, carrying or storing 
away. They are quickly set up. And they’re made to stand rough use.
