Members of the National Capital
Field Trial Club are looking forward
with great interest to the approach
ing fourth annual puppy stake to be
run off on March rs at Bradley Hills.
An attractive entry list is looked for
as interest is keen. This event will
give an opportunity for the members
to discover material with which they
may do big things in the more i'm
portant competitions.
Frank and Walter Kidwell have
bred a number of pointers from
which they hope to secure two or
three outstanding pups. In the early
part of the season the kidwell dogs
made very favorable showing in
the trials. Mathew Trimble of Ken
sington, Md, also succeeded with
couple OF his dogs and is now looking
forward to some winners out of
litter of SPLENDID pups by Great Is
land Devil, the sire of Belle the Devil,
this seasons derby champion
Frank Burroughs, who owns the
splendid setter Master Ben. and Will
liam Riggs, the Handler of Rockville,
probably will have some entries.
Thomas p. Baldwin and Ford Young
have generously given their services
this season in judging field trials for
nearby clubs.
Two more have been added to the
ranks OF the shepherd fanciers in Mr..
and Mrs. L. J. Breyers. who have
purchased a splendid black and silver
male pup from +. L. Tetreault, owner
of the Fonda Kennels, Lyon Park, Va
Raymond +. Butler of Camp Meade,

litter of shepherd pups from a recent
mating OF his Olga Won Donnersberg
to the well known Fritz Won Holz-
Eek.
Mrs. IL. III. Johnston, owner OF the
Ruffcote Kennels, reports the arrival
of a wonderful litter of six Scottish
terriers. Mrs. Johnston is one of the
most enthusiastic breeders of the
wire, scotty and seallyham terriers
and her kennels are beautifully ar
ranged and kept spotlessly clean.
Montgomery County was well rep
resented in recent license show
held in Baltimore. G.. William Riggs
of Rockville took six of Mont gom-
ery's best representatives of the bird
dog family with him and returned
with six ribbons. Riggs states that
the class of English settlers were
dogs of International repute, number
ing nearly zoo, and that the compe-
tition among the settlers was the
keenest he had ever seen.
Hunts Whitestone Freckles, a
beautiful English male setter stud
dog belonging to- Judge Henry ].
Hunt, III, of the Orphans Court OF
this county, captured the third rib
bon in every class he was entered.
This performance was all the more to
his credit because Freckles had not
only the best settlers in America TO
compete against but al 50 some of the
finest specimens ever imported from
Europe.
Freckles is an 1S-month-old dog,
tipping the scales at so pounds. His
ground color is all white, and he is
licked from his nose TO his tail with
beautiful black dots from the size of
a large marble to the size of hens
egg, has a splendid head, good
feather and excellent flag. His
father is Farmers Bob, his mother
Early's Miss Bill Gene. Grandfathers
were Ford Young's Beau Whitestone
and Bill Riggs Billy Z.
Interest shown by the members in
recent meetings of the Washington
Kennel Club indicates that the show
to be held in the Riding and Hunt
Club will be one of the most success
full ever held in Washington. Prizes
and money are being donated gener-
ously, and members also are doing
their bit, giving specials to their par
ticular breeds. The selection of
judges has been one of the most diff
ficult problems to solve, but with the
assistance of the capable superin-
tendent of shows, George Foley, the
list has gone in to the American Ken
mel Club for its approval.
The American Kennel Club is get
ting very strict as to who shall be
allowed to Judge, and the probable
list of the judges Will not be pub
lished until It is returned O.Kd.
T.. T.. Bechmann, n pubhsher or
dog magazine, from Battle Creek,
Mich. made a round of the kennels
in Washington and it's vicinity after
the Baltimore show.
