The first annual meet of the
Sportsmen's Field Trials Olub was
concluded in this city yes.ter.day afternoon, and the members as well
as the citizens interested in,the sport
have greatly^, erijqyed "the iuugru,ui.
The attendance was not up to expectations, but at the bench show
forty dogs were on exhibition, and
as .the exhibit wag confined solely to
the "membership, local sports were
well pleased at the interestdisplayeQ.
The derby stake was run on Tuesday. Tl^is stake was for dogs born
since January first, 1902, and there
were twenty - seven entries with
thirteen starters. The contest was
completed "the same day as started
and was won. by E. H. Waller's
Claravoint, a fifteen months' pup,
which, according to the best authorities on the grounds displays wonderful possibilities as a field trial
dog. It was handled by Mr. Waller
in person, and his expert knowledge
of what constitutes winning field
trial qualities came into good play.
The second prize went tp Gath's
Dorritt, owned and handled by Dr.
McQueen, of Lowell: third to Phoebe's Eod, owned by Louie Hilsen-
degen, of Detroit, and the fourth
was won by Dike's Dike, owned by
E. C. Smith, of Midland, secretary
of the association.
The all-age stake came on Wednesday morning, and was not completed until afternoon yesterday. > In
.this stake Were 43 entries and eighteen starters, and the efforts of the
winners to show up their dogs in the
best possible style were prominent.
So well did Claravoint show up in
the derby that Mr. Waller concluded
to start her in this class against dogs
ripe In experience and possessing
the strength which can only be .acquired by age. His capture of the
second prize is regarded as remarkable by thosepossessing an intimate
knowledge of the possibilities of
dogs at that age. The judges made
the following awards:
First, to Lou Rod-field,* owned by
M. W. Tanner, of Saginaw, president of tbe Club; Second*to Claravoint; third'to Hose M,,  owned by
F. H. Shearer, of Bay City, while
the fourth was divided between
Phoeba's Rod, owned l>y Louie Hil-
sendegen and Tony's Nell, owned
by A. J. Smith, of Detroit.
In both Instances the first prize
"was a small silver cup, suitably engraved, togetueT. with .a per cent of
the entry fees, which made the
purses worthy of a hard contest.
Waller's winning's amount in addition to the cup, of seventy-six dollars in cash, and a fourteen dollar
dog crate.
At the bench show, Held at Duncan's hall on*Tuesday, evening, all
dogs brought to the city for the trials were placed on exhibition, and
as awholeitwas a handsomejbunch.
President Tanner was awarded the
cup upon* Bod's Pride, III. • Many'
citizens were "present and - greatly
SKiin'i'.sS tne" uandso_iii0 cstiines, -
These" trials have done., much to
remove the prejudice that has heretofore existed in this community
against, the encroachment of so-
called city sportsmen. The Club ' is
organized in a manner that displays
a desire upon the part of the members to constantly hold a proper regard for the rights of the persons
upon whose lands they enter. A
complete record is kept of the different farms upon which the dogs are
taken for the contests, and in each
instance all injuries to fences or
crops are paid for. For each bevy
of birds found upon a given . farm
the owner thereof is paid one dollar,
andnot orie bird was killed "during
the entire series,-nor shot at. The
desired results can be accomplished
without a slaughter df birds, andthe
gentlemen are as desirous" of maintaining the propogation* of quail as
can be the owners of the farms,. -. '
Wot a complaint has so far been,
made by any larmer upon whose
lands they entered, and the spirit
manifested indicates that those >ho
gave permission this year would
much rather the Club would' utilize
their laridp for jbhe purposes indicated
than to-h'ave permiscuous shooting
thereon and a ruthless slaughter 6i■

' As mentioned in our last issue, a
representative of- the E. G. Daily
Co., of Detroit, was in Clare one
day last week and made a proposition to establish a salting station in
this city provided sufficient acreage
can"he_seciir'ea"th"e ''nrHiiytjai- to-war-
rant the construction of a suitable,
building. So confident is the concern that it will have no trouble in
securing contracts after the first
year that it is willing to put tfiree
thousand dollar's into the plant with
no further guarantee than the first
year's contracts. They desire contracts for two hundred acres, in
parcels of from one to three acres,
and the prices paid for the product
Will, under ordinary conditions
prove very profitable Jfco the farmer.
Definite information as to contracts, prices paid for the crop and
other matters pertinent will be
Issued early next week: in circular
form. Contracts may now be seen
at this office.

Distinguished   Detroiter Will Address the
Lewis Cass. Club at Its Second An-
'   nual Banquet.
The officers of tho. Lewis Cass Club
are now actively engaged with the
preparations for the second annual
banquet of that body, which occurs
in this oity on Thursday evening,
Dec. 31st. • Invitations have been
extendecfto several prominent Democrats of ther-state to be present and
address the Club, and Secretary Lacy
informs The Courier that the firat
acceptance to be received is that of
Hon. Alfred Lucking, congressman
from the first district. Mr. Lucking
is one of the ablest Democrats of the
state, and a mostpleasingand entertaining speaker. There ib no doubt
that the full quota will be ■ secured
within a few days, when further information regarding the event will
be given out by the officers.
GOOD ROADS.
A campaign for good roads has
been opened in Isabella county, and
a very sensible argument is being
put forth in behalf of the movement. Chas. T. Russell, aprominent
and level-headed attorney of Mt.
Pleasant', through the Times calls
the attention of the people to a plan
that would work no hardship upon
anyone and would be productive of
splendid Tesuits.' The rural mail
routes of the county reach out in
every direction from Mt. Pleasant,
and supplies an average of two hundred families,. Each family has at
least, one able bodied man in it and
a team, whil"e many of "tlie~m"have
moremen and teams at their command. If the men of such families
would each spend a day hauling gravel upon the roads in front of their
respective.homes, the improvement
mos. The liberality of the government in delivering mail at their
doors daily should be sufficiently
appreciated to warrant at least one
day's labor for the betterment of the
roads. .
Mr. Russell wisely suggests that
the city should also assist in such a
movement with money and labor.
His arguments apply with eqUal
force to Clare, and would if carried
intp effect be as beneficial to this city
as to any other. '
Let it be tried.
