Wilmette Sportsmen Thril to Springer Spaniel Fie ld Trials Througb .ithe courtesy of Dr. Charles B. Blake, 1159 Xilmette ave- nue, we are enabled to quote 'fronm the current number of the Ainerican Kenniel Gazette an interesting report of the recent trials of Springer1 spaniels, beld at Lake. Forest, ini which several WVilmette and north shore fanciers wene intenested. "The third annual fiel4 trial meeting of the English Springer Spaniel club, held Saturday and Sunday, October 13 and 14, at John C. Dillon's Forest Haven estates, Lake Forest, could, 1 believe, be ternied a most successful affair. It i true that larger entries have. been ob- tained in ütlier trials, but ïîowliere, 1 think, except in soinet of the highest ciass eastern stakes, have the place ivin- ners miore typified the lde'als of a trail huniting spî'inger. "Nothing wvas spared by the uli> t>) make the meeting a suùcess and i( v~e Cev dog a chance to sho'w its true calibre. *'The venue was flat countryv, îrovîclîng a (iversity of cover, and containiitg a goodly nuniber of cottontail rabbits in addition to*sonme native pheasants. The club providetl a (juantity of wild traî>îed birds, an adequate numiber o!f vhich wvere released on each course. The vours<, were well laid (but anti marked, iroviding about the proper duration of tinie to adequately test esîaniels in ecd heat. -';len B. Christy, president of the club, %vas on the job) throughout, spending the majority of lhis timie in regulating the efficient group of stewvards wvho kept the rtnmerous and enthusiastic gallery- in intelligent control. "Edinund A. Bertrain, sceayof th(- club, made a miost efficient stewvard of the boat, keeping in touch with and cooperatlng îith the judges at ail tinies. D. J.

(lenty had in conimand the general cieta ils of organization, such as getting everyone lu their places at the jiroper tie, seeing tbat the birds were on hand, and the other fundaniental requisites whichi guaranteed the trial's success. "The club is particularîs' to be von- gratulated on the selection of its official guns. Dr. Charles B. Blake and IStanley" Christian bore the brunt off the shooting. They are sportsmen who do flot know th e meaning of the word "is and y.et realize the importance o! giving gaine an even break and flot valuing their* reputation ahead of birds killed far enough out to give the dogs a real chance. On the second day they w'ere ably -assisted hy Leslie E. . -.Mahoni. It is noteworthy that the gentlemn o011Y failed to bring doivn on1e pheasant, which was one off tbree fiushed simiul- taneously to the sanie gun, the other two being bagged, and one rabbit îvbicb sprung willd at extremie range. No game brougbt down by the guns was lost, ai- though several pheasants were strong runners. The weather ivas ideal, al- thougli scenting conditions were notably improved the second day. "The water test to which aIl entrants were subjected proved both a eolorful feature for the gallery and a rather sub- stantial example of the general abilitv off ail SpringerS. Wild trapped mallards were used and the dogs went throuigb wooded decoys to retrieve themi aftei' they were'shot. Only one entrant failed to bring in bis bird,'and this youngster, aithough hle origlnall.y took to Wvater wilingy enougli, was undoubtedly% not feeling his best.. Most off the *retnieves from water were snappy and, positive. ,4My associate judge, Thomas C. Den- nehy, Jr., off Lake F'orest, who bas breti and hunted springers for a number off years, showed clearly that he had firmly in mmnd the proper ideal of thehunting springer, and it ivas a real pleasure to officiate with one who se deflnltely lu- sisted on maintainiflg the miodel off true sportsnanship.-E.
