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 mediate vicinity of the Village, is favora bly commented upon. 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 IHKOAIi PLAY FOUIISOMES. Messrs. Ormibee and White X.ead Field in Saturday's Handicap.

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. nament, continuing through December 27, 28, 29 and 31, three divisions qualifying for the President's, Secretary's and Treas urer's cups.
