day with fair attendance and good
weather. A rather cold northwest wind
prevailed all day. The judges were Major
]. NJ. Taylor, j. NJ. Freeman and j. b.
Stoddard. The latter took the place of
Royal Robinson. The grounds are not sat
isfactory, rs the birds are yet in the corn
fields, where little good work can be done.
Few birds can be found in the stubble.
There were ten starters in the Pointer
Derby, but they were not of high grade.
Hampstead Don made the best showing III
the first series, but hardly maintained
himself in the second. The first brace down
was Mayfield's Belle and Stafford's Dell.
The former did fair work, but was I'M
steady when getting beyond control. Dells
was poor in pace and range, and also un-
steady, Both are out of the race.
The second brace was DeverauX's Tama-
rack, Jr., and Mayiields Day Dream.
Tamarack was the best dog i'll pace and
range, and in style of hunting. He did
most of the point work. The next brace
was Tinsley's Roderick T. and Rex Fast.
doubt be in at the finish, Rex was far in
style and manner Of going, but was de-
ticient in point work.
Blankenbaker's Lads Lady and Lock
harts Hal Braden made up the fourth
brace. The former did nice, clean work,
being accurate. stanch and very obedient.
Hal Braden had no good quality. The last
brace of the series was Hemstead FARMS
Don and Lady Peg IL. They ran the best
race of the day. Don beat Peg in stanch-
ness and led slightly in point work.
In the second series Tumarack, ,lr., had
the best OF the race with Lady Peg ii in
point work. Their pace and range were
about equal. Hampstead FARMS Don,
while not running as well as in the first
SERIES beat Blaukenbaker's Lads Lady in
point work. He is deficient, however, i'll
style in all work.
The English Setter Derby closed with l.

with Norah Forth, Jack Scott with Nellie
Fox, Cynosure with Tony's Boy lroquos

BICKNELL, IND, Nov. 6-phe trials OF
the United States Field Trial Club
were continued to-day under favorable
weather conditions, but the grounds
are too limited, and they are in worse
form than any previous season. Inc
pointer Derby was finished, also the
first series of the English setter Derby
which had twelve starters. Hampstead
Don and Lads Lady were the first tt
finish. The Don did all the work. Bel
wa brought up to run with Rodericli
l.. but she continued chasing as in the
first series. A final heat was then run
between Hampstead Don and Lama
rack, Jr. The latter having the best work
through the trial took first place, witt
Hampstead Don second, Lady Pes
third, Rodericll L., fourth aud Lad:
Lady fifth.
'Hhe English setter Derby started u
1890 o'clock. Thayer's Clementine rar
with Nora ". of the Minnesota
Kennels. Clementine far excelied il
merit. Nora is probably out of thu
race. The next competition was be
tween the Minnesota Kennels Jock ant
the Blue Ridge Kennels bitch Nellie
Fox. The latter far outclassed her com
petitor. Nellie will certainly be con
tinued in the next series. The thir(
brace was Thayer's bitch Cynosurt
with the Blue Ridge Kennels dog Tony
Boy. Both were very fast, with wid'
range. The latter failed most in poin
work. Cynosure was good at all points
and ran a very strong race.
The competition between Fox 4
Settlers dog Iroquois and Norvin Har
ris' Dixie's Flag was rather ordinary
The latter was the best at all points
but it is questionable if either gets int,
the next series. George Reads do!
Wun Lungs Pride ran against p. L
Edwards dog Harvard. This was
one.sided affair. Pride had a decidet
advantage. He is beautiful mover an
does all his work in fine form. Fox
Settlers bitch Tony's Gale ran with iii
Blue Ridge Kennels bitch Lady Mil
dred. The race was undecided.
