THE OTTER-HOUND. 



The head should be at a mixture in appearance of the 

 fox-hound with the rough-and-ready appearance of the 

 real old large rough Scotch terrier breed of thirty years 

 ago; but still at the same time, ought to have a certain 

 amount of dignity; I would go so Ear as to say the otter- 

 bound's head should have all the dignity of the blood- 

 hound's; forehead long, with a crashing look in the jaw, 

 so that he may lav hold of the loose skinned otter and re- 

 tain his hold while almost being drowned; nostrils large; 

 lips pendent; neck strong, long, and muscular, with a cer- 

 tain amount of throaliness: chest deep, rather narrow, but 

 well ribbed up, but a little laxity is allowed in the loose- 

 ness of loin; shoulders powerful, slooping well back; arms 

 and thighs strong and muscular; feet a little open and web- 

 bed between the toes; coat bard, wiry, and plenty of it, 

 close and thick at bottom, but not over short! the stern 

 should be moderately coaled, but not so as lo he termed 

 flagged, and should get less towards the tip; colors black, 

 white mixed with pale tan, or grey free from brown and 

 buff; general appearance "harum-scarum," or "devil-may- 

 care," giving the impression of a scamp neither afraid of 

 land, rock, or water, hut at home anywhere, and able to 

 take his own part.

— "Mohawk " seems determined to have at least some of 

 the best blood of England and Ireland in his kennel. He 

 is expecting by the next steamer from Liverpool a bitch 

 called "Vivid?' one of Mr. Macdona's kennel. "Vivid" 

 is sister to "Music," winner of the puppy stakes at the 

 Yaynol Field trials of 1873. She is by Pluuket, Broma, 

 &0, " Vivid " is in whelp to the celebrated dog, " Ranger." 

 We shall now have some of the progeny of the wonderful 

 animal which has won nearly every field trial he ever was 

 entered for. Plunket's get has been almost equally good 

 on the show bench and in the open at field trials. This 

 combined strain ought to produce great wonders. 



— We may aspect a fine littei of puppies from Mohawk's 

 Macdona's setter, Kirby, and Raymond-Lavarack dog, 

 Pride of the Border. Also, Mohawk's pointer bitch; Bay- 

 lor, presented him by Mr. Macdona, and Mr. Sam. Coil's 

 black pointer dog, "Phil."

— A quail district, which we know from observation to 

 be good, is at Barnegat, New Jersey, -,-iir Tuckerton Rail- 

 road, where we spent two days last week. We could bear 

 the birds whistling in all direct ions, and permission can 

 readily lie obtained from most of the farmers lo shoot oven 

 their ground, Here also a few English snipe an to be 

 found, with curlew, yellow legs, bay snipe, willets, Ac, in 

 abundance a few days hence. Wo saw a, flock of curlew 

 numbering si hundred or so. In its season, Barnegat Bay 

 is one of the best ducking points known on the coast, being 

 filled with duck, geese, and brant, and there are innumera- 

 ble good points and thoroughfares where they can be 

 StOOled. A Hock of two hundred black clucks passed over 

 the, bay on Friday last. Selection can be made of a dozen 

 experienced gunners, who are provided with yachts, sneak- 

 boats, and decoys. From its accessibility Barnegat Bay 

 ought lo be: a, preferred resort of sportsmen from New 

 York to Philadelphia. The Bay can be reached by South- 

 ern Railroad of New Jersey, or Pennsylvania Central vtd 

 Trenton. 



— Bay birds have made their appearance at Salem, Mass 

 achusetts, scattering and in small bunches. 



—A few friends have had some rare sporl during the [est 

 month along the base of the Short Hills, which face the 

 eastern slope of the Blue Ridge, in Loudoun county, \a,., 

 not far from Snicker's Gap, after woodcock, comparatively 

 a new field, and very prolific. The oldest inhabitant 

 (colored) in that section says the swamps are very little 

 hunted except, for the coons and opossums. A Mr. 

 Walker of Washington City, bagged thirty cock in a half 

 day's shooting. There promises to be tine sport in quail 

 season; in that section the whole country is alive with 

 them. 



— "Bedford" wriles from Shelbyville, Tennessee, Aug. 

 10th, that quail arc very abundant in that, vicinity this 

 seas, hi, there being no rain in June and July to drown the 

 young ones. 



—The Buckeye Shooting Club of Warren, Ohio, held 

 their lonrnament on August 6th and 7th. In. the single- 

 bird sweepstake of five single rises at twenty-one yards, E. 

 C. Hinsdale, of Syracuse, took the (hat prize, and E. 1 1. 

 Hudson of Syracuse the second. The regular match, {up 

 single birds, twenty one yards, was won by E. H. Hudson 

 of Syracuse, prize, if? 1 00 ; second, §75, won by M. D. 

 Phelps Of Bristol, Ohio; third, $50, by F. AVil-on ■•! 

 Warren, Ohio; fourth, $35, by .1. S. Kennell of Warren, 

 Ohio, and the fifth, $1(T, by W. J. Foarrar of Cleveland. 

 Ohio. Hudson having made the best average during the 

 tournament was awarded a prize of $$}. The last day was 

 devoli-cl to single mid double; sweepstake sbooling. 



We have received from E. B. Barnes Esq., the Secre- 

 tary, a copy of the constitution and by laws of the Tecum- 

 seh Sporting Club of Nebraska, organized last month, and 

 to which we have referred in a previous issue. Last week, 

 Saturday, this club had a grand match hunt, nine members 

 each side, in which " our stele" scoped 'em by 610 points to 

 345, the losing party paying for supper for all. In scoring, 

 grn 'se oounlcc! .", point-: and hawks 10.

I arrived at St. Paul's after the Survey had left, and lev

Mr. Fox of Uus New York Tlsrnid is trying to gel, uuh

 wanted OIC to write for the Jhin/il, but I told him 1 could 

 not. 



There is a great deal mure material here for art tele and 

 sketches than in Colorado. The scouts tell me 1 will be 

 among the buffalo in ten days, anil you may guess bow 

 anxious I am to get a shot at them. I will writoWou again
