The Eastern field trials which close
last Saturday was the largest and mos
successful meeting ever held. IL re
| CURED two tracks to run the Darby
Pointer and Setter stakes on account
of ths large entries in each. The
Champion stake, which was to iuist
the meeting, had to be declared OFT by
the judges on account Of q heavy
enow storm on Saturday, the day II
was to be run. The great Memphis
dog champion, Paul Gladstone, was to
run in this stake. He was never in
better trim, and the utmost confidence
was felt in his ability to carry his col
ors to the front as he has 30 often done
before.
Memphis dogs, as usual, carried off
the grand honors. The all aged setter
stake was won by the brilliant Bob
Gates, owned in Memphis by Mr..
Whyte Bedford. He was trained and
has been handled in all his races by
MIR. B. M. Stephenson, to whom he
was presented when a puppy by Mr..
W. b. Gates.
In the Derby Memphis gotl a share,
though not first. The winner of this
stake, however, was a grandson OF
that grand old "King Of Settlers"
Gladstone, owned by Mr.. p. II. Bry-
son. This blood of this famous dog
flows in the veins Of nearly every win
ner in field trials for the past six ears.

winning first, 30 1t is confidently be-
lieved, simply by sn accident in the
beginning OF the season by which he
came near losing an eye, and which
deprived him OF being worked on
quail till only few days before the
trials were run. He was soft
and weak from sickness and
lack OF work and without ex.
perience on game (which is entirely
necessary, yet he ran up to the final
heat for fist place, and was barely
beaten, though very sore and weak
from contest he was not physically |
or otherwise prepared for. Should |
nothing befall him he has a great |
future and will make his marx. In the |
field he 10 simply grand, and excites
universal admiration. He was bred |
BY DR.. N. Rowe,of the american Field,

breeding traced out and introduced
