Southern Ohio Field Trials Association 
A MEETING of the association was held at 426 
Main street. Cincinnati, on the evening of Feb. 
6, and was largely attended. President J. W. 
Utter called the meeting to order at 8:30, and 
the roll call found all of the charter members, 
with one or two exceptions, present. The 
minutes of the previous meeting were read and 
approved. The Treasurer’s report showed a 
satisfactory condition in the club’s finances, and 
on motion of Mr. Wood, seconded by Mr. 
Morlidge, he was directed to pay all outstand¬ 
ing bills. Applications for membership were 
then read, and on motion of Mr, Wood, the fol¬ 
lowing gentlemen were elected by acclamation: 
Messrs. A. G. Turnipseed, E. W. Rugg, L. B. 
Harrison, E. D. Townsend, J. Taylor Williams, 
Frank Ellison, Edward T. Thompson, George 
Moerlin, E, C. Evans, H. S. Leyman, J. B. 
Towler, H. S. Rosenthal, Henry J, Koch, Ed¬ 
win C. Ely and M. Remlin. 
The subject of a guaranteed purse was then 
brought up. President Utter calling upon Mr. 
Frank E. Wood to give the members his ideas 
on the matter, and saying that he wished every 
member present to state his views as to the 
amount of the purse, and the conditions under 
which it should be offered. Mr. Wood said, in 
part, that he thought the main thing should be 
to offer a purse large enough to attract the 
handlers of the best dogs in the country, and 
he favored making it $1,000 guaranteed, giving 
$500 in each stake. Mr. Harris favored offer¬ 
ing the amount named by Mr. Wood, and also 
to add any additional money received from 
nominations and starting fees to the purses in 
each stake. Mr. C. H. Cord, breeder of the 
well-known pointer, Cord’s Lad of Jingo, said 
that in order to get the best dogs, a good purse 
must be guaranteed, and was in favor of mak¬ 
ing the amount $600 in each stake, with addi¬ 
tional money added. Messrs. J. W. Utter, E. 
W. Rugg, P. K. Phillips, Flora, G. C. Walker, 
and others also spoke on the subject, the ma¬ 
jority favoring the suggestions of Messrs. Wood 
and Harris. A motion was then made by Mr. 
Turnipseed. seconded by P. K. Phillips, that the 
association offer a purse of $1,000 guaranteed. 
$500 in each stake, with any additional money 
added. After some discussion, Mr. Oliver 
offered an amendment, which was seconded by 
Mr. Wood, that the amount be $800 instead of 
$1,000, but, on vote, the amendment was lost, 
and the original motion was carried unani¬ 
mously. 
Mr. Turnipseed moved that a committee of 
three, consisting of the President and two 
others appointed by him, should fix the amount 
of fees for nominating and starting. The mo¬ 
tion was seconded by P. K. Phillips, and was 
carried. The president appointed Mr. G. R. 
Harris and G. C. Walker to serve with him, and 
after a brief conference the committee reported 
that they had fixed the fees at $10 to nominate 
and $15 to start. 
The following committees were appointed by 
the president: Grounds Committee—H. F. 
Schaefer. F. O. Dunlap, George Moerlin, J. O. 
Oliver. George R. Harris and P. K. Phillips; 
Membership Committee—B. H. Delin, George 
C. Walker, George E. Morlidge. J. B. Towler, 
Carl Faulhaber, Dr. Leighner, Flerman Schuer- 
man. C. H. Cord, C. C. Acton and A. G. 
Turnipseed; Finance Committee—Dr. F. M. 
Oxley, Frank E. Wood. H. F. Schaefer, F. O. 
Dunlap, George E. Floraj C. H. Cord, P. J. 
Molloy and E. W. Rugg. 
The question of judges was settled by the 
appointment of George C. Walker as presid¬ 
ing judge, he will have two assistants whose 
names will be announced later. Tke selection 
of Mr. Walker is beyond any adverse criticism. 
He is thoroughly familiar with the qualities 
which go to make up the perfect shooting dog, 
as well ■ as the first-class field trial performer. 
and his absolute impartiality insures a “fair 
field and no favor’’ to every contestant. 
The date of closing entries will be announced 
through the sportsmen’s journals in due season, 
and it was the sentiment of the meeting that the 
nominating fee must accompany each entry. 
'Phis will be a “riding" trial. The club will 
provide men to open gaps in the fences at suit¬ 
able places, and good mounts can be obtained 
in this neighborhood. 
Letters have been received from several of 
the well known handlers promsing to do all they 
can for the success of the trials, and this un¬ 
doubtedly means a good entry of the cracker- 
jacks of the field trial world. Some of the club 
members have also signified their intention of 
starting in the open stakes and getting a run 
for their money, even if they do not land one of 
the prizes. It would not be a matter of sur¬ 
prise to those who know if some of them were 
placed well up in the stakes. 
A number of applications have been received 
since the meeting and will be acted upon by the 
membership committee. The committee on 
constitution and by-laws has attended to its 
duties, and the document is in the hands of the 
printer, and will be ready for distribution within 
a few days. With one or two minor changes 
and additions, the constitution of the Conti¬ 
nental Field Trial Club was adopted.
