That the State of Mississippi ex-
cells in all things good-''eyen in a
dog'-was demonstrated again last
week at the trials of the United
States Field Trial Club at Grand
junction, Tenn. The lavish ex-
penditure of money by the Whitneys,
DURYEA'S, Ameses, Lorillards and
others to win the Derby, resulted in
signal defeat for them, and vie
tory for a poor Mississippian's
pointer pup. On the first day there
arrived in special train the
wealthy men of the East, including
Hobart Ames, II. B. Duryea, H. IL.
Sturgiss, P. Lorillard and others.
Their trainers brought the dogs that
were looked on as enjoying a mort
gage for the rich purse hung up for
the winner of the Derby. Little at
tention was paid to pointer, han
died by plainly dressed man, from
Corinth, Miss. When the final
brace were started to settle the first
heat the pointer had things all his
own way and by all round good
work caught the judges eye and
won for his owner the title of cham
pion Derby dog of America. Al
fred's John was the name of the
pointer pup and Mr.. Jones that of
the handler. Jones left his Missis-
sippi home full of confidence and is
reported to have said just before
leaving: "If | win that Derby I'll
give the church $780," and he kept
his word Immediately on receiving
first money and the trophy that
went with the purse. Alfred's John
is regarded by dog men as marvel.
He has no pedigree, and but for this
handicap he might be worth thou
sands instead of $500, which Mr..
Whitney's representative offered af-
ter facing defeat in the last run-off.
Before the start of the last rsn-off.
entertained spectators around the
hotel with sideshow features by
making Alfred's John do tricks that
would compare with similar stunts
accomplished in refined vaudeville.
Alfred's John is also a coon and
'possum hunter, and will stree" the
varmints of the woods as readily as
he hunts quail on the ground. After
the easy victory of the poor mans
dog the Fasteners were the first
to extend the hand of congratula-
ton. The next move was to pur-
chase Alfred's John for Mr.. Whit
ney's kennels. But Jones refused
all offers and will leave for his home
near Corinth, carrying with him the
purse, pointer pup and $50 prom
ised to the little village church.
