false points. Both were very speedy

give the dogs chance to quarter the
ground, and the spectators were allowed
to follow too close. After watching the

of the birds. Betty pointed staunchly,
and was awarded the contest.

pies was very good. Lack of nose seems
to be the prevailing fault, but this is at
