Winnipeg Free Press (Newspaper) - December 8, 1875, Winnipeg, Manitoba Pointer. I am not a sporting never posses sed either a dog or a never tired a shot in my life and the Points of a canine quadruped Are As unknown to me As those of a sea Serpent. The 12th of August is a mystery and the 1st of september a sealed Book. 1 have been regarded with Well merited contempt at the club by asking for grouse in the month of june and for Woodcock in september. I think it is just As Well to it should be sup posed that i desire to sail under false colors. I am acquainted with several men who shoot and also with some who have shoot ing to give away. The former Verv frequently invite me to join their parties at the moors turnip Fields and Woods the latter press their shooting on me especially when i decline on the grounds of disinclination and incapacity. I wish i had your Chance howls poor Little binks who can bring Down any Bird at any Given distance. You re always getting invitations because you can t shoot and i cannot get Ono because i can. It s too bad by George too bad one Lovely morning in the month of sep tember i was sauntering along the Shady Side of Sackville Street Dublin when a gentleman encased in a coat of a resounding pattern All Over pockets and whose knickerbockers seemed especially constructed to meet the requirements of the coat suddenly burst upon and clutched me. The very Man i he exclaimed. I be been Hunting you the Way o Mulligan soup hunted the four Penny bit through Tho Bon fire what can i do for you or Podgers i asked. I want a Day s shooting at o Rooney s of replied Podgers. Was not intimate with or o Kooncy. We had Mot at the club but Asho was a smoking Man and As i after a prolonged and Tariff in combat with a very mild what must the Strong ones be had bid Den a Long Farewell to the witching Weed it is scarcely necessary to mention that Al though or o Rooney and myself were very frequently beneath the same roof we very Seldom encountered one another save in a casual sort of Way. I assure you or Podgers that pshaw that s All he burst in anticipating by. You can do it if you like sure we wont kill All the game. And i have the Lovliest dog that Ever stood in front of a Bird. I want to get a Chance of showing him off. Ile in do you credit i was anxious to oblige Podgers. Had stood by me in a police court summons Onoe upon a time and proved an Alibi As must have met the approval even of the immortal or Wellar himself so i resolved upon Soli citing the required informed Podgers that i would acquaint him with the result of my application. That s a decent follow. Come to my House with me now and i la give you a drop of John Jameson that will make your Lair curl declining to have my hair curled through the. Instrumentality of or Jameson s unrivalled whiskey i wended my Way towards the As Luck would have recount ered o Rooney lounging on the Steps enjoy ing a Cigar. After Tho conventional greeting i said have some capital Partridge shooting at Bally Bawn of pretty was Tho reply in that self satisfied complacent tone in which a crack billiard player refers to the spot stroke or a Rifleman to his score when competing for the Queen s cup. I m no shot never fired a gun in my life but there s a particular Friend of mine who is most anxious to have one Day s shooting at Bally Bawn. Do you think you could manage to let him have it i emphasised the word one in the most impressive Way. _ i would give Ono or two Days or Brown with the greatest pleasure but the fact is. I have Lent my dogs to sir Patrick o Hula Ham of As to that my Friend has a splendid most remarkable clog. I hear it s a treat to see him in front of a Bird i stood manfully by Podger s exact words adding some slight embellishments in order to increase o Rooney s interest in the an Imal. In that Case there can be no difficulty or Brown. I leave for Bally Bawn on Satur you kindly name monday As i would in addition to the pleasure of receive in you and your Friend like to witness the hallo i this cursed gasped Podgers he got away from me in Merrion Square after a cat. The cat climbed up the Prince Consort s statue. This brute somehow or other got up after her. She was on the head and he was top High for me to reach him when i got the Hook of this umbrella l at this moment the Hall door opened Anc the dog being animated with an energetic desire to explore the Interior of the House suddenly relaxed the pull upon the Chain which utterly unexpected movement Send Podgers flying into the Hall As though he had been discharged from a catapult. My maid of All work an lady with proclivities in the direction of har ___.11 i i i 0 j performance of this remarkable clog and i must be in Jahvay on wednesday having settled the preliminaries so satisfactorily i wrote the following note to pod Podges. It s All right. Or o Rooney has named monday. Be Suro to bring the dog As his dogs Are away come and breakfast with me at 80 clock As the train starts from the Keg s Bridge terminus at 9 o clock. Yours bks Jamal b buoy. I praised the dog sky High. O e is to see him in of ionic of note in stating with me acid bring s s0lno to opened to stand right in the Centre of the doorway when Podgers commenced his unpremeditated bound. He Cannonel against her causing her to reel and stagger against the Wall and to clutch despairingly against the nearest available object to save himself from falling. The object happened to be the curly hair of my acrobatic Friend to which her five fingers Clung As Tho suckers of the octopus cling to the crab. By Tho Aid of this substantial support she had just righted herself when the dog finding him self Crapa Ritivoy free made one desperate plunge into the Hall entwining his Chain round the limbs of the lady in Ono dexterous twirl which levelled her., and with a heavy thud on Tho body of the prostrate Podgers. 2stow whether she was animated with the idea that she was in bodily danger from both master and dog and that it Behoved her to defend herself to the utmost limits of hoi Power i cannot possibly determine but she commenced a most vigorous on Slaught upon both bestowing a cuff and a kick upon them alternately with an impartiality that spoke volumes in favor of her ideas upon the principles of even and indeed i May add heavy handed Justice. I arrived upon the scene in time to raise the prostrate form of my Friend and to administer such words of Consolation and sympathy As under Tho circumstances were his due. His left Eye betrayed symptoms of incipient inflammation and his Mouth gave evidence of the violence with which miss Bridget Byrne the lady in Tho Case had brought her somewhat heavy knuckle dusters into Contact with it. Bringing wild bastes into a gentleman s Dacent House As if it was a barn that s muttered. Alcan get a clout at that dog i la Lave him As Bare As a Pleu ked at this instant a violent crash of crockery Ware was heard in Tho regions of the kit Chen. Holy Vargin but the Baste is on the Dresser i la dress the and seizing upon a Stout Asli stick which stood in the Hall she darted rapidly in the direction from which the dire sounds were proceeding. Hold hard cried Podgers. He s a very valuable animal. I la make Good any damage. Use your authority he added appealing to me. She s a terrible person this she d Stop at no thing Ere i could interpose a violent skirmish ing took place in which such exclamations As take that to divil yell Brake me Chaney will be there s Chaney for to followed by. Very audible whacks which if they had fulfilled their Mission would very speedily have sent Tho dog to the Happy Hunting grounds of his race. One Well directed blow however made its Mark and was succeeded by a whoop of Triumph from miss Byrne and a yell of anguish from her vanquished foe. Gerlang to fireside Spaniel be live on the Neighbours. How Dar be come in Here i o 11 sup sorrow. I la give be a couple More a i can get at be Podgers rushed to the Rescue and after a Verp protracted and exciting Chase during which a Well directed blow intended for the sole use and Benefit of the dog had alighted on the head of its master succeeded in effecting a capture. This was done under embarrassing circumstances for the dog sought Sanctuary within Tho sacred precincts of miss Byrne s sleeping apart ment beneath the very Couch upon which it was the habit of that lady to repose her Virgin form after the labors of the Day and her indignation knew no Bounds when Podgers utterly unmindful of the surround Ings hauled Forth the dog. I Here s no Clarency in Man nor Baste finer e All wan Sorra a lie in it at this crisis Podgers must have developed his pecuniary resources for her tone changed with marvellous rapidity and her anger was changed into a Well feigned contrition for having used her fists so freely.
