J. HORACE LYTLE
For Field Trial Veterans J. Horace Lytle and his orange-and-white setter Illsley Chip the recent Miami Valley meeting at Versailles, Ind. was the climax of two careers. The 71-year-old Lytle was awarded Miami's Gaines' medal for sportsmanship, and 10-year-old Chip won the annual all-age stake. Chip's victory gave Lytle possession of the Dayton trophy, in competition since 1930.
