I PORTS MEN are making
the most of the wonder
fully beautiful December
days, days ideal 'from the
standpoint of the quail
hunter, and excellent
bags are the rule.
The high line single gun record of the
season thus far falls
to J. D. Foot of Rye,
N. Y., who bagged
nineteen with twenty-one
shots, Tues
day, ending up with
a string of eleven
straight. Mr. Foot

Col.J.W.Gaulbert

fine dogs, Bismark

time between golf
and shooting, and
meeting with excel
lent success in the
field.
Judge Charles Wells and Milton Jordan
of Peekskill, N. Y., return for shooting,
Mr. Wells bringing several fine dogs
with him.
E. W. Stifel and J. D. Merriman of
Wheeling, have spent several forenoons
over the dogs and found birds plenty.
Upon one occasion, during the week, they
ran out of shells and were forced to re
turn to the Village for ammunition.
R. A. Kathan of New York, is back for
a return visit and enthusiastic over the
shooting, dividing his time between it,
golf and riding.
While there are at present no women
here who shoot, many of them follow the
dogs with interest, forming part of the
day's shooting party and eagerly antici
pating the lunch at noon.
It is generally conceded that the sport
is the finest ever enjoyed here, and the
abundance of birds, especially in the" im

Commenting upon the work of entries
from the Pinehurst Kennels, Belle of
Pinehurst and Rosemont Spec, in the
Eastern Field Trials at Newton, The
American Field says :
BELLE OF PINEHURST MANITOBA MIKE.
This brace was cast off in a large open
field that they soon searched with intel
ligent casts. At the farther edge of
another field Belle pointed a bevy and
Mike backed promptly and handsomely,
both dogs being steady to wing. Upon
being sent on, Belle found another bevy.
This occurred in the sedgegrass near the
first field and close to where the first
bevy was found, and both dogs seemingly
put renewed energy into their work after
finding these birds. Belle then pointed
a single in the woods and was steady to

hunted to the gun industriously. Mike
was not running up to his true form.
ROSEMONT SPEC-PETREL'S COUNT QUEEN.
This brace was cast off in an open
wheatfield stubble and both dogs went
away with moderate pace and range.
Queen was the first to get on game, and
on the top of a steep hill by the edge of
woods, pointed a bevy which was fully
seventy yards away, Spec pointing at the.
same time. Then Queen began roading
and went on into the woods, where she
lost the trail, for it was on dry- leaves.
Spec now came up, stuck to the trail
without a bobble and finally located the
bevy by footscent. It was a splendid
piece of work, performed confidently
and accurately on high dry ground.
Spec then in an open sedgefield, found a
bevy which she pointed in good style and
Queen backed.
