POINTERS IN FIELD TRIAL
Brilliant Work on Birds at West
Point, Miss

West Point, Miss, Feb. 6.-The running
in the al-age pointer stake of the United
States Field Trial Club was continued
here today. Won Gull and Rancocas Belle
We're the first brace to be put down, both
doing some good bird work, while their
range, speed, and general style of work
was above the ordinary.
The heat ended slightly in favor of
Won Gull. Dash Elgin then ran against
Jumbo, and far outclassed the latter at
all points. The third brace to run was
Sanford's Druid and Tick Poy. Both
had good range, speed, and style, and
their work on birds was sharp at times and
then very bad though Sanfords Druid,
on the whole, was a little cleaner.
Jingo and Tamarack, jr., We're then put
down and ran very sharp and interesting
heat their range, style and speed being
good, while their work on birds was ex-
cellent, especially that done by lingo. This
| heat ended the first series.
The first brace to be called for by the
judges to run in the second series was
| Won Gull against Ighlfield Diana. There
was considerable work done on birds in
| this heat. IGhlfield Diana did excellent
work. while the range. speed and general

The next brace to be put down were
Jingo gainst Tick Boy. Everyone
expected this would be hard-fought heat
as both had won first In other trials
last year, and were doing good work in
this stake so far. While Jingo ran this
heat in his usual good style. Tick Boy
surprised everyone by committing several
inexcusa BILE faults. and, in fact, ran a
very poor heat. Tamarack, jr., and San.
fords Druid were then put down and ran
together.
A great deal of bird work was done by
| these dogs Of very brilliant order, and
| The heat was watched with much interest
by all present. Sanford's Druid's work
as whole was little better than his
competitor, although Tamarack, jr., found
a few more birds. The dly's work ended
with heat between Jingo and Tippoo
Everyone recognized that this would be
a heat to decide the honor of which dog
would win first money, and which second
as their work throughout the running OF
the stake has been the best.

Pat Racdy said: Sure, they will fight.
What's the matter with that NO Mans
ground down there near Mexico. No
one has TO pay any taxes on it and the
officers of the law have no more right
to try TO prevent Fitzsimmons and Maher
from fighting there If Stuart should select
that spot as the place for the battle than l
would. They can pass laws all day, but
you go and bet your money that this fellow
Stuart knows what he is about. From
what the papers said it did not trouble him
a little bit when that bill was passed in
the House yesterday and I'll bet it doesn't
make any more difference TO him now that
the Senate has passed ii. III / was going
down to see the fights i wouldn't hesitate
for a minute on account OF this bill having
been passed. The President has got TO
sign il yet, but granted that he does SO, it
won't make any difference"
".oh, they'u fight all right" said Doc
Ray. What if they do pass bills. They
can. fight in private. can't they? Vel,
there would be nearly as much money in
the game for Stuart if there were not ten
people at the ring side when the battle
took place. II he doesn't have a crowd
TO help swell the receipts he will demand
all the more money from the kinetoscope
people. And they will give up ali right.
I'll bet they would go as high as $4,000
for that fight and they would be making
money at that. Why, it will be a regular
mint TO them if this bill should prevent the
contest from taking place in a regular
ring before an audience, tEen Steuart will
hustle them off TO some out-of -the-way

HOW BOB SET THE FASHION.
Good Story of the welI-Known Actor,
Hilliard

II notice, that Bob Hilliard is billed
as the coming week sattractionat the Grand
Opera House. remarked an Eastern gen
tenan stopping at Wizards last evening.
well, Bob is not only a decidedly clever
actor but he is the SWEETEST dresser who
goes out OF New York. Why, that fellow
could set the pace for gents styles of
clothing season after season if he were in
clined to do so. Let Bob show himself
on Broadway in jacket reaching only
below his arms, and I'll wager that before
day has passed you will see every young
blood of old Knickerbocker's family, who
prides himself in being up-to-date in dress,
attired in precisely the same manner
And in substantiation Of this the Fastener
narrated little incident which came under
his personal observation. 1t seems that
Mr.. Hiiard, attired in neat, tight-fitting
morning suit, dropped into the gymnasium
of the Gotham Athletic Club one morning,
to speak with a friend whom he expected to
find there. While there he was banded by
another intimate friend, who wa in sparring
costs ne, until Bob could resist the challenge
no longer, and without changing his attire,
put on the gloves and gave this ambitious
friend series of spirited rounds that he will
never forget
In the scrimmage the two lower buttons
were burst from ''Bpb's'' vest. He merely
pulled out the broken threads, pocketed the
buttons, and started for his tailor's, on
Broadway, to have them sewed on In
front of this tailoring establishment he
stopped for a moment to converse with an
acquaintance, and while doing So two
swell chappies passed; they noticed that
thetwo lower buttons on 'Bob's'' vest were
missing.
Surely the two bottoms were not there.
1t was new one to the chappies, but they
were not to- allow themselves 10 be left
in the rear as to latest fads in dress. They
knew Hillard, by sight, and what he wore
as'the thing" So, ,straightway they went
to their tailor, and had the two lower but
tons cut from their vests, and then went
forth on the Rialto with the proud feeling
that they had got the best of other swell
laddies in their set, by few hours at least.

MIGHT MEET IN yIRGINIA

There's only one thing for him 10 do"
said Lew Newmeyer, land that is TO shin
them on here and have the fight take place
before the Eureka Club. That appears To be
about the only place in the country where
they will let a couple of gentlemenly pugs
get up and hammer each otter. But 1
hardly think this will be necessary. In the
first place this bill has come So late that it
is doubtful If it can be put into working
order in time to prevent the fight. Even
if it should Stuart will pack up his traps
and calling everyone into line go over into
That territory known as "No Mans Land
and let them fight 1t out. He is a clever
little fellow and has set his heart on pulling
off this fight, and he will let nothing
frdsturate his plans. They'll fight and
fight sure. You go and bet on it,"
Doc Palmer's reasoning is entirely
different from the rest of the sporting
fraternity. He seems to think that Grover
has a strong strain of sporting blood
running through his veins, as he saws: II
don't think that the President will sign
the bill. I don't know just why / look
at IL that way, but have an idea that
he will not take any steps in the matter.
That is 10 say, not until il is 100 late TO
do any good. Even should he sign 1t, they
will fight all right. Dan Stuart is no.
body fool, and he win show them a trick
or two when the time comes for bringing
off the contest. Everybody thought he

saying that it was due to the fact that
the general had an interest in entail in
Ireland, which mig mt be endanp ored by
his becoming q citizens of this country.
