Historical Society. has held these offices.
We think. for about sixteen years, having
succeeded the lamented Colonel Thomas
Hicks Wynne. Since he entered upon
bis duties new series OF the Collections
Of the Virginia Historical Society has
been issued. These volumes show the
learning and ability OF Mr.. Brock as
editor of such books there being no
one whom we know OF 90 familiar as he
with the general, local, and family his
tory of his native State. The books do
honor to the State as we'll Is to the
society.
1t is hoped that those who feel just
pride in the history OF the Old
Dominion and who have the means at
their command will contribute literally
to sustain the publications of the society
and the other important historical
works of Mr.. Brock. There is great
want OF . fund sufficient to place the
work on permanent foundation.
During the month OF November most
Of the field trials will take place, and
their honors and prizes which are OF
great value will be competed for by
large number of dogs, in whose training
much time and money is spent. These
trials do very much in developing the
sporting dog. The most important OF
the trials are those Of the Eastern Field

named. The list OF entries for the most
valuable stakes OF this club. the "All
