The AH Age Stake. 
Twenty starters made competition in this 
stake. Nearly all of them had been identified 
with competition in reGent trials. The work as 
a whole was mixed in quality, some excellent, 
some poor. 
Friday. 
The weather was clear, cool and pleasant. 
About thirty bevies were found. 
The competition ran as follows: 
FIRST SERIES. 
Alberta Jingo and Gleam’s Count Gladstone ran 
from 9:28 to 10:14. Count pointed in open 
sedge; Jingo backed, broke back and both roaded 
down wind. Jingo was first to the bevy and 
pointed it. On scattered birds, each made a point 
on singles, and each made another point on the 
same bird. Jingo pointed a bevy. Count false- 
pointed in a corn field. 
Sir Royal Spot and Outram started at 10:24; 
up at 11:03. Outran soon pointed a bevy, and 
next flushed a bevy which Spot pointed. They 
were hard to handle, and their point work was 
faulty. They ranged wide and fast. 
Granite Dick and Caesar started at 11 :o7. After 
a few good casts, Caesar was lost. Dick made 
a point on one bevy and flushed another. Up 
at 12:17. 
Tonapaugh and Milton ran from 12 :28 to 1:20. 
Each pointed a bevy. The heat was ordinary. 
Lunch next engaged the attention of the party. 
Lanark’s Lad and Manitoba Mike ran the first 
good heat of the day, though Lad fairly smothered 
his opponent. Lad pointed a bevy and Mike 
stole the point, then broke in to flush. Mike 
pointed a single. Lad made three points 011 
singles. Lad pointed a bevy. He displayed good 
judgment in using his nose, and a general knowl¬ 
edge of bird work. He ranged wide and fast, 
and beat out his ground skillfully. Mike’s heat 
was poor. Down at 2 :o7; up at 2.:52. 
Fishel’s Frank and Navajo were cast off at 
2:56; up at 3:48. Navajo soon pointed a bevy 
nicely. Frank pointed two bevies and Navajo 
backed one point. Frank made three points on 
singles; Navajo one. Both ranged well. The 
heat was a good one. 
Miss Ransom and Policy Girl began at 3:56. 
Miss pointed three bevies nicely, and two more 
good points on singles. Girl made two points 
to which nothing was found, and made a good 
point on a bevy. Miss ranged wide and fast 
and with good judgment. Girl’s range was fair 
only. 
Keepsake and King Woolton began at 4:54; up 
at 5:23. They ranged irregularly. Keepsake 
pointed and moved on; the judges riding up 
flushed a bevy nearby the point. This ended the 
day’s work. 
Saturday. 
The weather was clear and cool. A white 
frost heavily coated the landscape. There was 
hardly any wind. It was a morning for fine work 
on the part of the contestants, so far as weather 
was concerned. 
Avalon and Count Whitestone’s Pearl began at 
8:08. Avalon made a good point on a- bevy in 
open sedge field. Avalon made a second point 
and was backed by Pearl. Both ranged well. 
Up at 8:53. 
Shot Wind’em and Jim Baker were cast off at 
9:10. Shot pointed a bevy in the open and was 
backed by Jim. Shot pointed a single bird. Jim 
made a point which proved blank. Up at 9:52. 
Shot was much the better in range, speed and 
bird work. 
SECOND SERIES. 
Eight dogs were retained for further competi¬ 
tion as follows:
