412 IP** %xtz$Lzz and jfyjortsttura. Dec 25 It was impossible to tell whether the dogs had the wind fair because of high weeds and a thicket near them, around which the cold, dry, northerly wind was circling in gnsts. Sent on Eobert flashed a single inexcusably dropping to wing. Sent on Robert pointed a bevy and was well backed, both steady to wing. At 4:47 Robert le Diable was awarded the heat. Robert had the better pace, but in judgment, pointing quality, quickness among scattered birds and style, we thought Duke of Bergen the better. It was a close race. PrinceâLallah Rookh.âAt 4:51, as soon as cast-off, the brace began drawing. Prince getting to a bird first and point- ing well, Lallah Rookh backing, both steady to wing and gun when Whaite put up and killed the bird, Prince retrieving very well. Ordered on Lallah Rookh pointed a single, but while White to order was trying to flush, the bitch moved on, being steady to wing when the bird was at last put out near by. Prince, on a long swing below, dropped on point on a single and held it for a minute until the bird ran away before the dog was found. At 5:03 the dogs were taken up for the night. WEDNESDAY. The day was cold and windy, and scenting conditions unfavorable, but the dogs were ordered out and cast off at 8:33, to resume the undecided heat of the previous evening on the Swain farm east of town. A stubble field was worked over, Lallah Rookh, at the lower edge pointing a bevy in brush, Prince not sighted, the bitch steady to wing and gun and retrieving nicely when White killed. Sent on into pines Prince pointed a single and was baoked, then got another good point, Lallah backing, both steady to wing and gun, and Prince making a fair retrieve. Ordered along a hill side Lallah Rookh challenged and was rounding when Prince, very jeal- ous swung iu and took the puint, Lallah backing. The work was credited to Lallah and White ordered to flush. Both steady to wing, no shot. On in pines Prince flashed a single, steady. Both then made game, Prince first locating, pointing and'being steady to wing. Sent on both drew for Borne distance, Prince first getting point and being steady when White put up the birds and missed, dog steady. Sent on both continued drawing, one to right and the other to left. Prince got to his bird first, and was stea.ly to wing. At 9:01 Prince was given the heat. Prince had the race, in pace range and luck, both being stylish and staunch. FOURTH SEEIE3. Bang BangâRobkbt le Diable.â At 9:19 the two great pointers cut away in grass, which they quartered oat blank at good pace; then drawing a peach orchard blank. Into woods Bang casting wide pointed a bevy; the judges in coming Tip flushing several outlying birds, dog steady, as he also was when Luke White to order flashed the bevy before Bang. A bit of keen good work. Oat of the woods a stubble field was drawn blank, and a cast back into oaks was made. Each soon pinned a bird and was steady when the handlers flashed. Moving on Bang got one of these points in which it is a question whether the scoring should be a flush or a point. The bird flushed as the dog pointed. To the right Robert scored a pretty point on a single, dog steady to ordered flush. Sent on Bang drew for some yards, finally pointing a bird and breaking shot when White killed, retrieved poorly. Sent over a fence each pointed false, and then cast along the fence RobeTt got point on a single and was steady to wing; was ordered on, pinned another bird, and was steady when Height kicked it up. On in a golly Bang Bang false pointed. The judges took rive minutes for consultation and then sent the dogs on back to a hill where several birds had been marked down. Robert on the wider cast soon pointed on, was steady to wing, Bang not sighted. At 9:43 Robert le Diable was given the heat. Prince had a bye. FIFTH SERIES. Robert le DiableâPrince.âThrown off at 9:56 on stub- ble drawn blank, the dogs passing to left of a bevy which had been marked down and which was flushed by Major Hammond and Dr. Rowe after the dogs had passed. Sent after the bevy Prince, near a fence, drew to point; Robert refusing to back stole the point, then both moved on without orders, and each again pointed. A bird was flushed by White before Prince, killed, and the dog, sent to retrieve, pointed a pair on the way; was finally taken to the dead bird, but refused to hold or fetch it. After drawing much blank ground Prince pointed a bevy in high grass, Robert backing and both steady to wing. Moved on across a creek two birds were flushed behind the dogs. Ordered on Robert drew, worked out a long trail, pointed a single, was steady to wing and gun; sent to retrieve, flushed three birds, finally retrieving well. Ordered on Prince false pointed, and Robert behind him and to right pinned a single bird and was steady to wing. Prince then scored a false point and was ordered on near a fence where he pointed and a bevy flashed wild before him. Sent after the birds Robert, across wind, got a good point and was steady. Prince flushing a single and dropping to wing. At 10:49 Robert le Diable was awarded the heat and first money. The race was close. Prince showed, greater pace and range. Both had good Btyle. Robert had the best of it in nose. sixth series. PrinceâBang Bang.âAfter consultation the judges placed Prince and Bang Bang equal seconds, and divided the Becond money between them.

There was a small attendance of members. There were plenty of birds on the ground, but the absence of rain for several weeks spoiled the scent, and the best dogs entered were often at fault in running over birds. The result of the race is as follows: December 13th.âFirst HeatâJudge Post's bine belton Llwellyn setter bitch Janet by Count Noble, dam Dashing Novice, beat W. Schrieber's lemon and white pointer dog Mountain Boy, time 1:50. December 14th.âSecond HeatâJ. M. Barney's orange and white pointer dog Tom Pinch by Tom, dam Buelah, beat J. G. Edward's black, white and tan English setter dog Royal Duke II by Regent, dam Dally, time 2:15. Third Heat.âWin. Schreibers' lemon and white pointer bitch Lassie by Prince, dam Forest Lilly, beat J. B. Martin's lemon and white English setter dog Dashing Money by Dashing Monarch, dam Amelia, time 30 minutes. Fourth HeatâAfternoon of 14th and morning of 15th.â Sweetheart beat Lassie, time 2:30. SECOND SERIES. December 15th.âTom Pinch beat Janet, time 1:20. Sweetheart beat Tom Pinch, time 1:15. Sweetheart first prize. The race for second, run on 16th, Lassie beat Pinch, time 1:05. and won second. For third, Tom Pinch beat Dashing Money, time 40 min- utes, and won third. DERBY. Only two of the dogs entered tnrned up.TCharles Kaeding's English setter Shot beat E. W. Brigg's pointer Climax, time 2:05. There was not a single point made during the heat. Coursing- Several coursing men made a pilgrimage to Newark last Sunday to see the match between L. L. Boudin's Marshall Ney and P. J. Canavan's Spot, for $100 aside. Spot won each of the three heats handily having a good deal to spare on points throughout. The ground was very hard and Marshall Ney lost two toes from one of his feet in making a turn. The match was followed by one for §10, between Cronin's Jack Dempsey and Roach's John Mitchell. The pair ran well, each in turn taking the lead. Before the course was finished puss found a hole and ran into it leaving the dogs without ceremony. There was no more hare available, and the course as far as it went was decided in Jack Dempsey's favor. J. Wren acted as slipper and John Dugan as judge. Editor Breeder and Sportsman:âI observe in last issue of yonr paper a challenge from Mr. Schreiber offering to run Lassie against any dog in the State, 'Post's' Sweetheart prefened. 1 regret to say that it will be impossible for Sweetheart's owners to accept Mr. Schreiber's challenge. Sweetheart is owned by the California Kennels, Mr. Geo. W. Watson and myself proprietors. I broke and have always handled Sweetheart, and my official and professional duties are such that I will not be able to take Sweetheart afield more than two or three times during the remainder of the season. Mr. SchTeiber's bitch was broken by, and is now in the hands of, a professional breaker and can be worked on birds every day if her handler deems it best. Sweetheart was a long way from being in "condition" to run at the trials, hav- ing had just fifteen days' work prior thereto. A dog cannot be fitted properly for a long, braising race under sis weeks. Two or three months is better. Sweetheart ran one of the longest heats with Lassie that was run at the trials, something like two hours and twenty minutes. Sweetheart was cer- tainly best at quartering, ranging and backing, equal in retrieving, staunchness and speed, and made five points to Lassie's two. I don't think that anyone who Baw her run will doubt Sweetheart's bottom, So again, I say it is with regret that I am compelled to decline Mr. Schreiber's chal- lenge. Respectfully yours, Sacramento, Cal., Deo. 21, 1SS6. C. N. Post. A Watchful Dog. Apropos of natural history stories, a correspondent send- us a remarkable instance of the sagacity of a dog. A games keeper was overtaken, it appears, by night, while walking through the middle of a wood; and not being able to Bee what time it was by his watch, he had necessarily to feel the hands with his fingers. Upon arriving home some hours afterwards he discovered that he had lost the minute's hand. Presum- ing that he had dropped it in the wood, he ealled his faithful retriever who had been with him on the excursion, and said, "Ponto, go find!" Away like the wind, rushed the dog, and in about an hour afterwards returned. Going up to his master, the retriever but his tongue out, and there, on examination, the owner found the hand of his watch upon the tongue of the dog. " What makes the story the more wonder- ful," adds the narrator of the episode, "is the fact that the wood is densely covered with low scrub, and that, therefore, to find the hand of the watch would be a matter of some difficulty." We thoroughly assent to the latter clause of the sentence. If the watch had been lost, and the gamekeeper with the help of the dog found it again, the narrative would have been trite. As it is, however, all that the facts of the case need in embellishment would be for the public to learn that the dog placed the missing hand on the face of the watch and ever since wound it up regularly!â The Slockfaeptr. Lost Dog. Last Sunday Mr. W. S. Kittle lost his English setter on California street. The dog is described as follows: Lemon and white, small, lemon ears, small star on forehead, tail docked, about five years old, answers to a hissing call. A reward of $10 is offered to any one who may return the dog to Messrs. Clabrough &. Golcher, 630 Montgomery St. Mr. William Schreiber requests us to state that unless his challenge to run his bitch Lassie against any dog in the State is answered by Tuesday, Dec. 28th, 18S6, the challenge, will be withdrawn and the bitch bred to Tom Pinch. ROD. Mr. Thomas H. Chubb of Post Mills, Vermont is known by name to many readers of this column as a manufacturer of angler's supplies. He is having honors crowded upon him, the most recent distinction being his appointment of post- master of his native town. Happily he wears his honors well. A clock belonging to Izaak Walton was recently sold in England for $350. It is an eight-day with inlaid case, made in the year 1641, by John Roberts for Walton, who used it for many years. ⦠At a meeting to be held Dec. 9th, of "Yorkshire Anglers' Association," of Leeds, England, the following rollicking anglers' song will be sung. It was composed by Mr. T. E, Pritt, and we find it in the columns of the Fishing Gazette. THE ANGLERS' DINNER. Te angler invited his brethren to peg into it- Come all jovial anglers, set to with a will, If we work like good ushers our creels we maj fill, This truth Is apparentâyou'll own I ana rightâ Just for once in a way, we're all sure of a bite. And he becometh poeticalâ Let the winter wind howl o'er the anow-cover'd dale, Let Jack Frost whistle loud in the northerly gale; The curtains are closed and our rods are laid by, Till the primrose is out and the lark's in the sky. He Bneereth at ye bloodthirsty shooter and ye reckless foi tmntsrâ The shooter may boast of bis death-dealing gun. The fox hunter swear that the fox likeB the fun; The angler, contented, will gladden bis eyes, "When a splaBb on the river betokens a rise. And alludeth tenderly to ye breeding troutsâ Ab we sit round the table while rivers run chill, A toast we'll ailjdrink and a bumper we'll fill; Here's a health to all couplesâthe newly-matched pairs That for our sakes are busy with family cares! And windeth np with a general incitement to go itâ Then come, jolly anglers, come fill ev'ry glass, We'll toast absent brothers and each pretty lass; In spirit they're with us for all are agreed That fishers, like fishes, Bhonld now and then feedl The New York State Trotting Horse Breeders' Association held its annual meeting in Rochester, N. Yâ on the 7th inst. The officers, elected by the members, instead of by appoint- ment by the Executive Committee as heretofore, were as follows: David Bonner, of New York, President; F. B. Redfield, first vice-President; Gen. B. F. Tracy; second vice- President; J. H. Clark, third vice-President, and M. E. Servis, Secretary and Treasurer. A resolution was adopted requiring three nominations by different owners to fill any stake where the value is added. The stake committee's report, which was adopted, provides for the same stakes as last year up to five years old. All stakes close April 1, 1SS7. One of the neatest calendars sent to this office for 18S7 is from the Pope Manufacturing Co. It is artistic, and will be especially appreciated by wheelmen, having on the pad of slips some choice bits of bicyling information suitable to the ANTEROS, By ELECTIONEER, dam COLUMBINE.
