tGnciers OF pointers and the sports
men who regard them only as field
dogs. were unstinted in their praise OF
Mir. Gould's disoernment II picking out
the good and weak points OF the dogs.
This is more worthy of note because
Of the fact that fancier and field dog
owner rarely agree in these matters.
Mr.. Gould had another important en-
gaqement in addition TO his duties as
Judge Of pointers, for he was due 10
play in the national racquet champion
ship'in the early afternoon. The young
fancier made new record Tor the
speed with which he passed on the big
class in this breed yet he did not neg
lect his duties in the ring, and his
workmanlike manner in making tne
awards gained favorable comment on
every hand.
Runnymede Lancelot, from the Run

Troubadour's victory was repec-

Mr.. Jarrett pointed to Ornsay Annie

Mr.. Offerman at the Philadelphia
show awarded the prize for the best
Scottish terrier benched TO Champion
Bapton Beryl, but Mr.. Jarrett would
not give Beryl better than fourth. THIS
marked the first time the bitch had
ever been defeated, either In this eoun-
Try or England. She also made clean
sweep AZ the Westminster show last
year and looked TO be in rare condition
yesterday.

Ornsay Annie was mighty lucky, he
thought, 20 beat out Bapton Beryl.
Every dog fancier remembers how
the late ]. Pierpont Morgan and, after
him, Samuel Untermyer, held undis-
puted sway IN the collie world with
their noted kennels. But at their best,
neither Of these kennels ever regis

breed than did the dogs Of Thomas Z.
