THE KENNEL.
Has Glenbeigh a Near Relative on
This Coast?

The pointer Glenbeigh, purchased by
Henry Huber some months ago and
which as THE CALL stated last Wednesd Il :
was sold to Howard Vernon for some
thing less than 500, will be run a. the Pa
cific Coast field trials, which will be held
near Salinas in January. In the report O I
the sale "small" mistake Of 500 was
made. as it should have read something
less than 5000. II was not Topographic
cal error, however-an excuse so CON-
monty used lfS writers 10 shield their mis-.
takes.
Glenbeigh is certainly one of the finest
specimens Of pointer flesh that has been
imported to this country, and if handled
properly should make a good hid for first
or second AT the coming trials. Like all
English pointers lie is broken to poin I
game only, but it is sincerely hoped by his
present owner. most enthusiastic young
sportsman, by the way, that the gentleman
who will handle and train Glen begh for
the all-aged contest will have the dog well
broken to retrieve when he Is cast off with
aD opponent In 1894.
1t will be seen by a glance at Glen
belgh's record that lie has royal blood in
his veins. He is by Grouse V Champion

and was purchased from ID. Moriarty OF
Sundays Well, Killarney. Ireland. He
has been successful both in tile field and on
the bench. but particularly as a field trial
dog, having won first in the Pointer Puppy
stake and the champion prize for the best
pointer or setter puppy at the national
trials in 1891. also first in the Pointer
Derby and extra prize for he best pointer
or setter at the Kennel Club trials the
same year. and he is the only pointer that
has ever won the double event. On the
bench he won third in the open class at
Birmingham.
EX-Assessor James c. Nealon is the
owner OF thoroughly broken pointer
which first saw the light of day in XII
larney, Ireland. The dog was purchased
by gentleman named Dugan from Mr..
Moriarty and presented to MIR. Nealrn.
Like Glenbeigh, he is broken TO point and
stand game and will not retrieve. Al
though Mr.. Nealon has not the pedigree OF
the dog in his possession he is satisfied
that there is blood relationship existing
between the Irish pointers.
However, there is a decidedly strong
resemblance between the two dogs in form,
both showing the qualities which indica t
endurance and strength. OF the two MIR.
Nealon's pointer has the better head.
