City Clerk Ben. T. August, an enthusi.v
astic lover OF high-bred dogs, and an au.
thority on the subject, has written the

Located near Stanton Depot in the
Stase Of Tennessee Is the Rancocas KEN
mel owned by Mr.. p. LorIllard. Jr.. OF New
YORK, tho wealthy tobacconist. This IL
one OF the finest or the many kennels Of
English settlers and is unsurpassed In the
reputation and breeding OF its dogs. Mr..
Lorillard who has for years been the
owner ana breeder OF sporting dogs, and
a patron OF field trials has spared no
expense in the development OF his ken

eminent success. Among the famous
field trial winners that are now and were
once owned by this kennel are Eugene Il.
son OF Count Noble. and full brother 10
champion Count Gladstone ". Miss
Ruby and Lora. litter sisters by Gladstone
Boy and grandaughters OF Trinket.
Count Gloster. grandson OF champio0
Gloster, Antevolo. by Count Noble and,
daughter OF 1'rinket II. Count Gladstone
and champion Goster. the best
bird dog that this country has ever pro-
duced, and son of rrinket. Their records

class ever owned in Richmond. The
Rancocas Kennel is under the general
management OF the veteran breeder and ,
trainer OF English settlers and noted
handler OF field trial winners, Charles
Tucker, who stands to-day at the head
or his profession. and whose sterling
qualities and many kindly traits OF char
acter have won for him host OF friends
and admirers. The famous trainer re.
sides on his Farm near Stanton Depot
surrounded by his interesting family
which consists OF n wife and several
children. and beneath his roof is ever
dispensed that sincere hospitality which
- so characteristic of the Southern
homes and the true sportsman will al

glad to give him day IN the fisid af9er
Bob White. and a sports-la of this CITY
who recently paid him visit remarked
20 the writer that he would ever remem-
Der with the keenest pleasure the time
that he spent in the fields OF Tennessee
with Charles Tucker behind some OF
the noted dogs OF the Rancocas Kennel.
Mr.. Tucker has a number of personal
friends I'm Richmond. and the English set
ter champion Gladstone w now owned
In Tennessee was presented by him some
years ago TO a friend I'm this city. Mr..
Tucker has frequently been invited to
visit Richmond. but his engagements
nave prevented him from doing so. but
II is expected that in the spring or early
summer the Richmond sportsmen and
lovers OF fine dogs will have the pleasure
OF meeting the man who has developed
and handled more field trial winners than
any breeder and trainer in this country.
