FIELD TRIALS IN MISSISSIPPI.
Some Good Sport-Absolute Running

VIII Take Place Monday.
West oint, Miss. Jan. 20 Today was
a beautiful one, little warm in the noon
hours. One Brace, Young Rip Rap and
Nahob were tried to finish the All-age
Pointer Stake and both ran well, Nabob
finding more game. After an hours trial
they were taken up ard the awards made
as follows:
Nal OBJ, owned by the Charlottesville Field
Trials Kennels, Virginia, first; Young Rip
Rap, owned by Bar Harb0r Kennels, Maine,
second; Elgin's Dash, owned 10y +. G. Dur
ham, Birmingham, Ala, thild.
The AIl-age Setter Stake had sixteen
starters, with Tony Boy and Toby's Gale
down first. Both were fast and wide
rangers and covered the ground thoroughly.
Tony Boy found most game, both doing
excellent point work. Marie's Sport hardly
ran 10 his usual form in his trial vita
Cincinnatus Pride, the latter running in
splendid form and having the better Of
the competition in everything except range.
Pride did sharp, accurate and positive work
on game and decidedly the most of it. He
has never run so well.
Saragossa Belle and Tobasco Boy did
nothing creditable, and are out of the
contest. Rance, second, ran fairly well,
easily defeating Rods Chaff yet she has
no chance in the stake. Hardwick and
Lillian Russell run even competition, with
slight advantage to Lillian, as she hunted
on the ground better Rods Top and
Novelist were fair raters, being the lat
ter's first appearance for several years.
Novelist did most and best work on game
and fairly good in range. Tory Luna
and Lilly Hall, both in the hands of anna
teurs, were hustled along, Luna having
a rather easy victory, yet she has no
chance to win a place.
Leo Noble and Harold Skimpole were
the last brace of the first series. Harold
had decided advantage in range, pace
style, and character OF work on game
Tony Boy and Marie's Sport We're the first
and only brace tried in the second SERIES
Tony Boy went in usual good form and
found most game. Mare's Sport ran
much better than in the first trial, yet
she was not the equal OF Tony Boy. 1t
will probably take all the day tomorrow to
finish the stake, and the absolute running
will have to be run Monday.
The attendance continues good, and
while there is an improvement in the
handling of the trials, it is not yet good

Another thing I notice, is that whereas
