When Kilgarrif's setter dog, Sirius,
and Harper's setter dog, Pelham, were
called the fun commenced. Ex-Rail-
road Commissioner w. w. Foot siezed
hold of Kigarrif and commenced rub
bing him down in the most approved
style, while Judge Post, who posed as
Harper's trainer, protested that Kilgar-
rif was over weight and wanted pair
of scales brought on the grounds before
the heat commenced. After this and
much more guying on the part of the
spectators the dogs were cast off in low
brush. Both dogs were almost strangers
to their owners, who, under the condi-
tions OF the members stake, had to ham
die them and therefore hunted very
much as they pleased, but both being
well broken made nice race. Sirius
was first to find and was well hacked by
Pelham. Kilgarriff was ordered to flush
and shoot. He shot, but in such way
that he missed his bird at least twenty
feet aud so frightened the spectators
that as long as he had gun in his
hands they kept at most respectable
distance in the rear. Sent, on Pelham

and out ranged the dog, proving an easy
winner.
Aftertwenty minutes rest Queens
Last and Sirius were cast off to decide
which should carry off the members
trophy. In this heat some fine work
was done, both dogs showing fine noses,
perfect stauDchness and clear cut bird
sense Even Kigarrif became so en-
Unused with the high character of the
sport. that he actually killed one bird,
to the great delight and relief OF the
spectators. Queens Last won, out
