INOLA, OKLA. -- With small entry and a weather delay, we got started on Saturday, January 16 at the McFarlin Ingersoll Ranch in Inola, Okla. We thank Kay Ingersoll for her continued support of the trials at the ranch.

Seemed like birds were ready to play. We had several dogs on birds, and they seemed to fly very well on the first day.

After the delayed start, the weather was really good both days and we had good trial. We had ten good Derbies and had several of these on birds.

Boumeester's Bar None, six-and-a-half year-old white and liver pointer male, owned by Christopher (not Chip) Martin of Lucas, Tex., and handled by Chuck Stretz, was named the champion and whose performance came in second brace. Bar None ran a big race with two well-spaced finds. He was easy to handle, stayed to the front looked good all the way.

Pure Gossip, also handled by Chuck Stretz, was named runner-up. The white and black nine-year-old pointer female is owned by Bob Reynolds of Kansas City, Mo., and was in the last brace of the stake. She run a big race with a find coming in the middle of her heat. She was easy to keep up front, very showy and attractive.

Other dogs that got look from judges included Excalibur (Stretz), Ceaser (Harold Gearhart), Game Sport (Gearhart), Iron and Wine (Jon Humphrey).

Derbies all ran well considering a strong wind. First placed Aaron's Four Roses (Gearheart) was the most pleasing. Close behind was Flint Ridge Annie (Neira) with a good job looking for birds. Third placed Stylish Miss Bell (Tom Curtsinger) also did a nice job on the ground.

We thank the judges, Greg Gibson of Wichita, Kan., and Andy Neria of Savonburg, Kan., for the Championship, and Bob Barker of Claremore, Okla., and Greg Gibson for the Derby.

We wish to thank Purina for all their support. And all club members who helped.
