""Meteor" and "Maxim" were litter brothers and were imported for the St. Louis Kennel Club by Col. W.E. Hughes in 1881. They were from the kennels of George Pilkington, who was sending quite a number of dogs, good, bad and indifferent, to this country at this time."
-- Hochwalt, 1911
"In breeding they were by "Garnet", out of "Pilkington's Jilt", the latter by "Lord Downe's Mars", out of "Sefton's Jilt". "Garnet" was by "Tory", the son of "Garth's Drake" and "Moore's Mab", out of "Jessie", by "Sefton's Monarch", out of "Sefton's Juno"."

"At the New York show following "Meteor's" importation (1881), E.C. Sterling was the judge of pointers, and the Western dog was brought East to break lances with the invincibles of that section. The dog appeared in the champion class, and among others were
"Beaufort", the son of
"Bow" and "Beaulah", and
"Croxteth", the son of
"Price's Bang" and "Jane".
The judge awarded the blue to "Meteor", and naturally the western contingent went into ecstacies, but the decision occasioned endless controversy. Eastern fanciers came out in the kennel-press with challenges, but these three dogs never met again. Eastern critics seemed to be unanimous in their opinion the "Beaufort" should have been first, "Croxteth" second, and "Meteor" third."

"In the middle states, principally in southern Ohio, where pointers were bred
from time immemorial, the dog
"Harris' Mac" was very well thought of.
He was whelped in 1874, was solid lemon in color, and decidedly one of the
old, heavy-flewed kind. Local tradition tells us a very pretty story about
this dog being descended from the old Pape strain of black pointers through
a dog called "Otto" that was brought over to America by Colonel York of
Cincinnati in 1867 or '68. "Harris' Mac" was a splendid field dog and
acquired such a great local reputation that most pointer fanciers bred
to him. Messrs. Sander, at the time very active in pointer breeding,
sent a bitch to him called "Linn" and from this union came "Diana" which
produced a rather remarkable litter by
"Meteor", among which were the bench
winners, "King Shot", "Pap Smizer" and "Rumpty". Bred to
"Seitner's Lass"
(by imported "Sleaford" out of "Dawn")
"Mac" became the sire of "Lady" which produced "Glendale" when mated to
"Bodine".
"Glendale" was the sire of "Champion Duke of Vernon" and "Stanley". Once more
we have evidencd that this so-called native stock was pure and when mated with
the later importations, bred on in a very satisfactory manner."
