T I . . r - Gladstone’s Freckles Jack Is Winner of the Amateur All Age Stakes at Barnwell Field Trials MAJ. J. A. MEYER DIED SATURDAY The setter dog, Gladstone’s Freck les Jack, owned and handled by R. R. Hickson, of Chcraw, S. C., won the amateur all-age stake of the Vir- ^inia-Carolina bird dog trials, which came to a close here Friday. 1 Second 1 place was awarded to the pointer, Walnut Grove Lucy, owned and han- deld by R. W. Norman, of Salisbury. N. C., and third was divided between- ihe pointer Judge Jones, owned and Handled by Frank R. Ellerbee, of Latta, S. C., and Dan Woolton’s Dauntless, owned and handled by Jack Dunn, of Baltimore, Md., The stake was a very interesting one to amateurs in all parts of the coup- :ry for the competition • was for the famous Frank Reily cup which has been a club trophy for at least & dozen years, but has. never been won three times by any one which the stipulation before it can be- .^^kmc the final property of a com- ^Ketitor. Mr. Norman had won the twice and had he been success- ^lul on the present occasion he would have lifted the cup, but the little set ter from Cheraw, which Mr. Hickson put down was cqyal to the occasion and thus by his win Friday he has succeeded in having his master’s name engrnVeE^upon the cup'fhr a ' second time for last year Gladstone’s Freckles Jack was also the winner. , The cup. howevur, remains the property of the club for another year or until it is won three times by the same owner. Back of the two dogs which competed for first place *he competition lost interest. Jack Dunn-and Frank Ellerbee, both well- known in baseball circles, trailed rlong, but could not do better than divida-third honors. .. As forecasted in last week’s issue of The People-Sentinel, the all-age stakes was won by Joyeuse’s Dollar Bill, a setter owned.by John K. Ot- ‘ tley, of Atlanta, Ga. Second place was awarded to Walnut Grove Lucy, who also took second place in the amateur all-age stake mentioned above, while third place went to Rock Manor Bob, owned by Dr. Wil liam E. Harris, of Wilmington, Del. The race Thursday between, the winners of first and Tfecb'nd .places proved to be most, interesting, as they went into the finals practically on even terms. Any of the dogs bad DEATH CAME SUDDENLY AFTER SHORT ILLNESS. a chance to win first money on the strength of hjs performance in the first series, superiority in sp^ed, range and class. . The ihembers’ derby, open to dogs owned and handled by members of the Virginia-Carolina club, was run this afternoon. Jack Dunn’s pointer, Dauntless Peggy, who won the open derby Tuesday, came back in this stake and again took the higHest honors at the same time winning the beautiful trophy cup offered by the Barnwell chamber of commerce to the winner in this stake. Dauntless Peggy was handled by her owner, who piloted her over the course success fully. Second place was won by the pointer, Sam Rogers, owned and han dled by Frank Ellerbee, of Latta. Third place went to Col. R. P. Stead man of Winston-Salem, N. C., presi dent of the Virginia Carolina club. The'members fcf the V.-C. Club were so highly pleased with the trial grounds and the cordial reception given them by the people of Barn well that, at a meeting of the execu tive committee, they voted unanimous ly to return here again next year if they arc given an invitation. It goes without saying that they will be invited and if other clubs can be induced to hold their trails here. This, it is said, would be an ideal arrangement, per mitting the members of various clubs and the trainers to attend the meet ings of the various clubs without the inconvenience and* expense of going from one town another. It ia un derstood that there is a movement on foot among some members of the Georgia Association to have that club hold its trials here in 1926, and it is also possible that tha National Amateur Championship meeting will be held at Barnwell. Everything possible was done to make the meeting here last week a success and that this was done was shown by the many expressions of appreciation heard on every side.

He was of a kindly, genial disposition, courtly of manner, just and generous in . his dealings with his feUow men—in short, the highest type of Southern, Christian gentleman. He entered the Confederate service at an early age, being only about 22 years old at the close of the War Between the State.

After the close of that grim struggle, he fought the battles of peace no less gallantly and played a conspicuous part in the re storation of his beloved State. ter circulation on his splendid weekly newspaper?
