Puppies Show Wares
On Wednesday morning short
ride was made from Ebenezer to
the back part of the number l
course where the puppies were
to show their wares. Seven braces
were drawn and they were a
good lot, at least half of them
showing enough to>be considered
for possible place. The winner
was a Setter from Earl Bufkins
Kennels, Nick being his name,
owned by Mr.. Anderson of Mem
phis, and handled by the veteran
Curt Swango from Sardis. He
shows unusual promise, ranges
well, works hard, and stays at it.
Even at his early age he is going
to birdy places with purposeful
intent.
Second place went to Mystery
Mag, pup shown by Tom Wood
side from Jackson, Louisiana, and
owned by Hugh Worley of Baton
Rouge, La. She was only slight
ly behind the winner and she is
a nice prospect. Third went to
another Bufkin pupil, Nicky by
name. and of course Setter
owned by DR.. Russell Trap of
Tuscumbia, Ala. She was closer
than the first two, but diligent in
her work. The pointer, Bitch Ad-
mirals Spunkv Daughter. ran well
and was put down with the third
place puppy for a short second
series. but she had run her race,
and let down so badly that she
was left olt.
The third brace of puppies. Des-
tination and Bobby. both Point
ers, were lost on a turn at the
start of the course and were not
WIDER Judgment much of their
time. The Pointer, Arizon Red.
shown by Ross Capps was lame
in his shoulders, probably from
an injury. and was handicapped.
rueenes, Gal Sal ran well at times
! but was unused to horses.
Miss. Triols Highlights
The fact that eight or ten COW
evs of birds were moved each day
was one of the mpst pleasing
things about the trials, with prop
| err protection, now assured by the
leasing Of the land for training
purposes, thew should quickly re-
stock the entire area.
Lunches were served each day
bv the ladies of the Methodist
church at Ebenezer. and their de-
licious home cooking was thor
i oughly appreciated.
Genial Henri Watson of Lexing-
ton rode much of the time in the
gallery and seemed gratified al
the progress made. 1t was he who
was largely instrumental in get.
! ting John Gardner to move to this
new location.
Mr.. O'Reillv of Ebenezer. the
new vice-president of the Club
extended every courtesy to al
/ visitors, and his participation ir
the trials will do much to cement
good relations between the Clut
members and residents of the area
around Ebenezer.
