cause they have such unlimited
variety that here one is able to
find a hat that will suit the in

The third prize was captured by Joyous Justine Johnson of High Sounding Name. owned by J. K. Ottley of Atlanta, Ga. This is a well-bred setter, sired by Ty Cobb's setter, Cobbs Hall, while Miss Scott Hudson was sired by Dr. John Cromwell, owned by Scott Hudson.

They are classed solely on ground work and their probable ability to go out, range widely and with fair in- telligence hunt for birds.
