"Perhaps, at the period referred to [early 1900's], George Bleistein was the most enthusiastic of all the exhibitors of pointers, but he never could be induced to take up field trials. His first dog was the very handsome "Mark's Rush", which was shown year after year until (the last time I saw him, I think it was in 1909 or 1910) he was nearly ten years old and one of the best preserved pointers that one could possibly find at his age. This dog went back on both sides to "Rush of Lad"."

"... we saw this dog at the New York show of 1910. He was looking fully as well in shoulders and front as he did a year ago, but he is becoming roached in back and his loin, quarters and stifles show the weakness of age; despite these defects, however, he was placed first in winners and won the Brokaw cup for the best pointer in the show, which is the third time the old dog has attained these honors; thus the cup becomes the porperty of the owner of "Rush" since he has won it three times, for under the conditions that it was offered, it was stipulated that it must be won three times, not necessarily by the same dog, however."
-- Hochwalt, 1911
