Gliding this stake H. w. Keller of
Santa Monica acted with Judge Bet

surprised at the decision in the all-age
event. The opinion prevailed that first

HARRY HI DECLARED WINNER.
The first brace put down in the all
age stake was Cuba Jr. and Harry ID.
Both dogs went away with good speed
and ranged out widely, Harry H hav-
ing somewhat the best of 1t In both
these particulars. Casting over on the
edge of little swale Cuba Jr. ran close
to a small bevy of quail. which ne
stopped on as they flushed. His hand
ler claimed it as a point, but 1t was
considered a questionable one. Follow
ing this Cuba Jr. made fine points, to
which no birds were raised. Harry II
failed to locate any birds in this neat,
but his splendid speed, range and man
ner of going classed him above his
competitor.
Sombra and Jay NJ were put down a
few birds were found. Jay NJ made
three points to Sombra's one. The work
of this brace could not be characterized
as of high quality.
Moving to another field Avalon and
Uncle Jimmy Whitesides were cast Off.
In some high weeds Uncle Jimmy Sc
cured three points. Later, moving up
on to the higher ground, both dogs ran
into a small bevy, not locating before
having h1If little At =
tention to them afterward. Later each
dog singly secured one point. While
JTncie Jimmy Whitesides went away
with good speed at the beginning of the
heat. he slowed down noticeably before
it's termination, although 1t lasted but
thirty minutes.
Driving over to the section back or
the Garfield schoolhouse. where large
beyy of birds had been found each day
and where more points have been made
than in any other locality, those two
grand little settlers, Keepsake and
Ladyiike, were then put down. They
gave an exhibition, greatly enjoyed by
the spectators, of rapid and high-class
work.
DOGS POINT TOGETHER.
In less than one hundred yards from
where they were taken out OF their
crates. both running at a clipping gait
and about twenty yards apart, one
passed up on each side of a small bevy
of eight or ten birds and both simul-
taneously snapped into stylish point
with the birds between them. On
singles, Keepsake was the first to point,
followed in a few minutes by second,
which possibly she flushed by moving
| too close to. Ladylike then roaded a
couple OF running birds to flush.
/ A few minutes later she pointed
another single, cleverly backed by

broke in, flushed and attempted to

i While Ladylike was standing upon a

promptly, but on nearing Ladylike she
ran In front of her, taking the point.
