NEW JERSEY DOG
 WINS THE DERBY

Montgomery, December 14.-Eugene M, owned by Frank Reilly of New Jersey, won the derby at Letohatchie today of the Southern Field Trials club from one of the classiest fields that has started in similar events south The winner was given all he could do to win and was pushed hard in the final counting by Creole Sue and Rhodandie, winners of second and third prizes respectively. The stake is worth $500 to the winner, and the owners of second and third prizes divide s25o.
 The day was bright and clear and the going excellent. The one feature that prevented spectacular work and some what marred the interest in the sport was the scarcity of birds. Some braces worked the allotted time without flushing a single bird. Madge White stone. owned in Montgomery. did sonic especially good work and in the opin- ion of many of the spectators should have been placed second The all-age stake will be the feature of tomorrow's trials. ~
