“The Trail of the ‘Bull Dog’” 
By Charles G. Percival, M. D. 
DID YOU KNOW THAT THERE ARE PLACES IN THE 
UNITED STATES THAT ARE SO OLD THAT 
EUROPE IS A CHILD BESIDE THEM? 
Are You Aware That America Is Richer In Ruing By a 
1000 Fold Than All of Europe Combined 
Did You Ever Hear That These Ruins Belong To 
a Civilization Compared To Which The Oldest of 
Europe’s Monuments Belong To But Yesterday? 
Have You Ever Visited the Innumerable Castles All Through 
The Great Southwest Where The Most Enlightened Race In 
the World Have Lived, Departed and Left No History Within 
The Knowledge of To-day ? 
This book, which is new and original, is by the 
Editor of “Health” Magazine, and contains the inci¬ 
dents of his two years’ automobile trip into all parts of 
the North American Continent. 1500 miles in Mexico 
during the late insurrection, of being chased by bandits, 
being lost on the desert and rescued from death by thirst 
by Troop K of the 4th U. S. Cavalry. It is replete with 
300 interesting original photographs, taken by the author 
on his trip. Read how he penetrated a thousand miles 
further north than has ever been made by automobile 
before, driving over the dreaded White Pass Trail from 
Skagway, Alaska tidewater to the headwaters of the 
mighty Yukon River in the Klondyke and north of 62 
degrees. 
Look at the pictures of crossing the highest point of 
the Sierra Nevada and Rocky Mountains and crossing 
the continent from San Francisco to Portland, Me., in 
the middle of winter in three feet of snow in an auto¬ 
mobile. 
The most interesting and instructive book on America 
for Americans that has ever been printed. Get it and 
learn about the country you live in.

Southern Ohio Field Trial Association. 
The trials were run near Bethel, Ohio, on 
Oct. 28 and 29. The territory selected was in 
a gently rolling country, and included a number 
of fields large enough to try out the speed and 
range of the dogs to good advantage. One thing 
only detracted from the pleasure of the trials, 
and that was the absence of birds on which to 
work the dogs. This was especially deplored in 
the all-age stake, as from the quality of the 
starters, some fine exhibitions of bird work had 
been looked for. The weather was pleasant on 
both days, but in the middle of the day it was 
very warm, making the running hard for dogs 
and handlers. Babblebrook Bob ran a good race, 
showing himself to be an earnest and intelligent 
hunter, and won the derby here, as he had done 
the week before at Hamilton, Ohio. In the 
trials at Carmichaels, Pa., he showed his quality 
by getting second place in the all-age. He is by 
Mohawk II. out of Blackeyed Susan, and is 
owned by Louis McGrew, of Pittsburgh. 
Babblebrook Joe, winner of first in the all¬ 
age stake, is a speedy, wide-ranging dog, stylish 
in action, and with good bird sense, as could 
be seen by his conduct when in the field. He is 
by Mohawk II. out of Early Dawn, and is also 
owned by Mr. McGrew. Babblebrook Buster, 
second in the derby and all-age stakes, fared 
better here than at Carmichaels, where he finish¬ 
ed two places below Haverland’s Buster in the 
free-for-all stake. He is a litter brother of Bab¬ 
blebrook Bob, a nice ranging, speedy dog, and 
was thought by some of the trial followers to 
be a trifle the better of the two, but Bob’s lucky 
find in his first heat gave him the preference in 
the derby. 
After the drawing of the all-age dogs on 
Monday evening there was a bench show of the 
competing dogs. C. H. Cord offered a silver 
cup for the best pointer and G. R. Harris, the 
club secretary, gave a cup for the best setter. 
A. F. Hochwalt acted as judge. Eight pointers 
and eleven setters were entered. Mt. Tabor’s 
Sensation, owned by H. D. Abbott, and Haver¬ 
land’s Buster, owned by L. G. Haverland, were 
given first and second in the dog division; Mor- 
lidge’s Babe, owned by George E. Morlidge, and 
Fannie, owned by W. S. Harris, first and second 
in the bitch division. The cup for the best 
pointer was won by Morlidge’s Babe. 
In the setter class Joe Whitestone, owned 
by B. H. Delin, and Medler, owned by Louis 
Reehl. took first and second respectively. Prus 
Bondhu, owned by W. E. Oliver, the only bitch 
entered, was given first. The Harris cup was 
won by Joe Whitestone. 
Shetland Sheep Dog Cup. 
One of the handsomest cups thus far of¬ 
fered for competition at any dog show will be 
that presented by the Shetland Sheep Dog Club. 
It will be known as the American challenge cup 
PRESENTED BY SHETLAND SHEEP DOG CLUB. 
of the Toy Spaniel Club of America and will 
first be put up for competition at the show at 
Waldorf, New York city, Dec. 6 and 7. The 
cup, which is seventeen and one-half inches high, 
heavily and artistically built and mounted on an 
ebony pedestal, must be won three times by the 
same owner before becoming individual prop¬ 
erty.
