BAKERSFIELD, Jan. 9.-Rain was
falling this morning when the sports
men who are here attending the field
trials awakened, and for time it
seemed none of the Derby dogs would
be seen i'll action to-day. Shortly
before 10 o'clock the skies cleared,
and after consultation between
President Van Arsdale and Secretary
Betz it was decided to make a start
for the preserves of the Field Trials
Club, upon the broad acres of the
TeviS property. Shooting clothes
were donned hastily and the cavalcade
of enthusiasts soon moved off.
Four heats of the Derby were run
off and a series of beautiful sporting
pictures resulted, which delighted the
enthusiasts who watched the clever
work of the highly bred settlers and
pointers. The young dogs showed un>
usual class and were pronounced su-
perior in the aggregate to those
shown in any previous year. The con-
ditions are considered ideal for the
trials, as quail are found in great
numbers, and the rain has improved
the ground over which the dogs will
work.
Brilliant sport is expected when the
older and more seasoned dogs meet
in competition.
The first brace of dogs were cast
.of near the Gosford ranch, in a pas
ture field. After two heats were run
the party repaired to the Gosford
house, where an elaborate luncheon
was discussed
SPORTSMEN WE'LL SATISFIED.
After luncheon the party repaired
TO the little schoolhouse, where a
brace of settlers were turned down
and readily found birds. After this
brace was taken up the judge moved
off to a place about two miles east,
where large covey was found scat
tered in excellent cover and were
well handled by a brace of pointers.
which We're put down on them The
dogs were taken up at 4:40 q. m. and
the sportsmen returned to town well
pleased with the days work.
The first brace put down was J. w.
Flynns lemon and white pointer Nellie
p, handled by Charles Coutts, and the
Stockdale Kennels liver and white
pointer Checkmate, handled by r. M.
Dodge. Nellie proved a fast, wide
