actual killing of birds. aDogs are
entered in three classes. All age

The puppy class is for dogs under
one year, the derby for dogs under
two years, and the all age class in
cludes any dog over two years.

are to take in the trials are drawn
for before the running. Each brace
OF dogs is run before the Judges
for thirty minutes in the heats
The winners of the heats are run
for a sufficient period of time for
the judges to pick the winners
THE points on which the judges
will award prizes are: the manrl,r
and style in which the dog hunts,
speed, range, endurance, and bra
sense"
Mr.. Theirs states that the field
trial will open Monday morning
