Amateur Derby. Ben Dillard with Bozeann's Texas Swing, Mark Janiec with Rebels Miss Mischief, Zaynah Tracy with Rebels Dominator. Second row Bill Bruchey, Karen Janiec, Bart Hastings, Ted Foust, Dave McKay, Wendy Tracy Harman, Larry Harman, Larry King.

The Lehigh Club ran its all-amateur fall trial at the training grounds of George tracy near Glennville, Pennsylvania, on October 10. It was a beautiful fall day.

We thanks our sponsors: the Southern Bird Hunters, Eukanuba dog food, and Elite Nutrition. George and Mary Tracy donated the use of their training grounds, two horses for the judges and a Polaris for the bird planter Ted Foust. Wendy Tracy Harman, Zaynah Tracy and Larry Harman did much of the background work and were the horse wranglers.

We had 14 dogs in the amateur shooting dog and 7 in the Amateur Derby. Entries are low in the northeast; even amateur championships are drawing less than 20 dogs. Our sponsors mentioned in the paragraph above are the lifeline of these trials and deserve all our thanks.
The Amateur Derby was won by Rebel's Dominator, owned by the Primms, Allen Linder, and Madison McDonald, handled by Zaynah Tracy. The classy male pointer hunted with class and had two broke finds with high style and finished manners and hunted well. Mark Janiac won second with Rebel's Miss Mischief. Miss had a derby find and a pretty race up front. Third went to Ben Dillard's setter Bozeann's Texas Swing. The fast classy setter had a derby find and other contacts.

Millers Flowers and Lace, owned by Allen Linder and Madison McDonald, won the amateur shooting dog stake with a fine race, six finds and a unproductive. She was handled by Zaynah Tracy. Second went to Bull Finch, pointer female handled by this reporter to 4 finds and three backs. Braced with the winner she also ran a good race. Roger Boser 's Slingblade was third. The red setter had four nice finds and a forward race.

Thanks to all for a good field trial.
