GREAT PUBLIC TRIAL OF SPORTING DOGS.**".
Arrangements are in progress for the second trial of sportier
dogs in the fields, and prizes are to be awarded on their
merits and performance on game. The locality selected i°
near Stafford, and the trials and prize contests will be with
f
pointers and setters on grouse and partridges. The Earl o
Shrewsbury has offered his manors for partridge trials. and
the Marquis of Anglesey will permit the grouse trials over
his moors: and in addition to several prizes the Earl of Lich-
field cffers £2O to the owner of the best pointer on Pule'
Keen scent, stanch on birds, to back and drop, are the
governing elements of a highly-educated pointer or setter
in the field.

THE LATE JEM MASON AND HIS COMPEERS."'"
Poor Jem Mason has not long survived Captain
Beecher, who fought so many hard fights with him in the
days of the purple and the blue. Nearly all the actors 01
those midland revels have died out or' retired. " The
Marquis," when his 11-10 had swelled to 15, broke bl'
neck ever a little fence on to a road out hunting; L°l
Macdonald, once as blooming as young Apollo, also san
in his prime ; Tom Heycock no longer sits under his ostrich
egg, and tells of Flacrow, and points to the Leamingt°l3
shield; Tom Oliver's renowned whiskers are becomiel
grey, and he walks 12k, looking out for another "Ely and
Westminster Abbey ;" and Bob Barker and True Blue sr°
forgotten ; and we believe that Bob drives a cab. Allan
Macdonogh stands by the side of the rails, and thinks °
old times, at Liverpool ; and Billy Bean (who is populsril
supposed to be only a trifle short of 100) has even parted,
with his hack Bean Stalk, and cannot throw his legs 01,e;
a horse iu consequence of rheumatics. Jem Mason coo
''.;
hold his own with them. all, and his long easy seat and
light hand made him a marked man in the hunting field s°
long as he could sit on a horse.—The Omnibus.
