SALINAS, Jan. 19.-The field trials were
concluded to-day after a week Of excel
lent sport. Birds were not found plenti-
full, so there was difficulty in running of
the remaining heats.
The first dogs put down were II. t.
Payne's English setter Countess Noble
and X. E. Meyers English setter Smoky,
to finish heat commenced the day be-
fore. Countess showed her superiority
over her competitor, and won. She
ranged fast ana wide, exhibited good
bird-fnding qualities, was stanch on
point, and steady to spot and wing.
Smoky was then pitted against w. O..
Kerlloff's English setter Betsy Mark,
winner of the Derby stake for second
place in the all-age stake, and Smoky
won.
This left Betsy and Charles Studarus'
pointer Clay to compete for third money.
! Clay did some unusually fine work, and
beat the setter. He is very fast, has a
nose of long-range scenting quality, and
under favorable conditions is a danger
GUS field trial competitor for any dog. He
was handled by Studarus and the others
| by Walter.
The prizes were awarded to the win
ming dogs this evening just prior TO the
opening of the party given by the Salinas
Gun Club to the visitors. The awards
were made in public at the hall and con-
stituted an interesting feature.
At meeting of the Trials Club this
evening resolutions of respect to the
memory of the late Charles Miller OF
Raymond were adopted. Mr.. Miller was
a prominent member of the club.
The club has adopted what is known
as the spotting system of judging future
trials. 1t almost ignores the set rules,
and leaves the matter of determining the
| field qualities of dogs largely to the dis
cretion of the judges.
Many visitors will leave for their
homes tomorrow, while others will go
out for private shooting. Considering
the bad weather during the week the
meeting was very successful one.
The ball tonight was largely attended.
Just before the festivities commenced all
the dogs were taken to the hall and
shown in front of the stage. Judge Dorm
made few remarks and introduced
Judge Post of Sacramento, who made a
neat speech, returning the thanks of the
visitors to the good people of Salinas for
the many courtesies shown.

dinary speed. as estimated, at nine
teen knots an hour, with the tide
against her going out and in her favor re-
turning, and subjecting these figures to

is likely to be in her favor. The result Of
the trial assures the builders a premium

outward trip in two hours and eight sec
