From this litter came Gladstone, and this dog, especially when bred. to Druid-Ruby bitches, has probably left a deeper inn press on the Setter in America than any other dog. AS will be seen from his breeding, he was a Llewellyn. In color. his head was black, white and tan, his body blue Belton, with black spot at the root of his tail. His popularity at once made the tri-colored Setters popular, and probably from this cause the erron- minds that Llewellyn Setter must nec- essarily be tri-colored. In 1879, Arnold Burgess imported Druid white. black and tan Llewellyn, and bred to Ruby by Rake out of Fanny, and to the daugh- ters of the white and lemon LleWellyn Setter Leicester, left a great impress on field trial history. That year the white and lemon Llewellyn, Lincoln. was also imported. Leicester and Lincoln were full brothers, but Lincoln has left a much greater impress on field trial history in the United States than has Leicester. Lincoln bred to Blaze produced the large, coarse and heavy white and orange Set ter Clean, and it was through Clean that the much -sought-for "Gleam blood" has come to us. Gleams blood has been, and will continue to be. of incalcuable value to the field trial Setter. It is force that should at all times be given due consideration in Setter breeding. In 1oSU DdVlQ OdnDuTH DTOuSuI ONcI iloiii the kennels of MT. Llewellyn the white, black and tan Setter, Count Noble, by Count Wind'em out of Nora. We Will not go into the blood lines of his breed- ing here, but we have no hesitancy Tn saying that the blood of Count Noble crossed on the daughters of old Glad stone and in turn crossed on the blood of old Clean, has given to the United States a race of Setters that have at tracted the sporting world by the bril- liancy of their performances in the great field trials of this country. Other Set. ters of note show in the pedigrees, and are entitled to consideration, but what King of Kent Kidnapping and Graphic were to the Pointers, Gladstone, Count Noble and Clean were to the Setters. AS time goes on, the wise breeder will ap- preciate more and more the blood of these great dogs, for their impress is here for all time
 The illustration of the pure-bred Llewellyn Setter on this page, Jack Love-" F. D. s. B. 3150s, is a Free Lance Ben's Julia product. and is owned by Gordon Moughon, city salesman for Ar mour & Co. at Birmingham. He is of the old time kind-brains. endurance and bird sense--with that burst of speed and class that has made all of his ancestors fam ous for the past half century. It has taken years of patience and scientific breeding to produce the Jack Love type, and there is no doubt of his transmitting tiese essential points to his progeny, and the future will hear from his get.
 Jack has thoroughly demonstrated his ability to hold his own in the big open circuit trials In the 1915 Futurity he was the class dog and winner of this stake; and in the United States Derby of 1915 he easily won first money, being in a. class by himself. He went over to Texas and took another place. being in this stake too much dog for his handler, but Jack has now settled down to business like all wise youngsters do that have brains ana bird sense.
 It was the writer's pleasure, before the past season was over, co be afield with Jack and his owner. This made great team, Jack and Gordon. Anyway, during the day Jack handled both bevies and sim gles jam up to standard, and retrieved in the best of shape, and anyone that is under the impression that a field-triai winner is not high-class shooting dog would change their mind to see Jack point and fetch 'em in
 Jack Love has the best type of head in the Lleyellyn-high and broad, and a magnificent conformation In fact, he is one of the best I have ever seen. His eight is ideal-55 pounds; and his color the much desired white, black and tan In his best coat he would be hard one to beat on the bench. MT. Moughon being a business man, has taken his dog off the field trial circuit and now has him at stud. The breeders of the south should take advantage of this magnificent speci- men. I have seen his progeny, and the Impress of the sire is strong.
