FOX HOUND KENNELS. 



W

of Hie To: 

 lo build an 



kennel for their hounds. We Uiougut, after tha repeated 

 urging in this Journal ajld also by our friend Col. Skinner. 

 of the Turf 'd ■ i ■' Farm, that New York might Have 

 i Fox Hunting Ohio, with a kennel 

 that would have vied with tin.- very latest improve- 

 ments, it present it seems an impossibility to find one 

 hundred gentlemen willing to put down one hundred dol- 

 lars apiece as a nucleus to form and slarl the New York 

 Hunt Club. We have here at or.r very doors everything ill 

 our favor for the promotion of a Fox Httptlng Club; men, 

 horses, hounds and money. Where could there be found a 

 hotter run than in many pans of Lout. Island? Gentlemen 

 could start in the morning, have 9 good day's sport and be 

 home in New York by six in the evening. The answer lo 

 all ibis is simply: We are drivers and not riders. The

The harrier's head is something of the stamp of the fox-

 ribbed up, with short flank, strong across the loin; stiff 

 and well-bent stifles; stern carried well up. The usual 

 colors are blended pies, black, tan, and white, and blue 

 mottles". There are. several heights admissible, iron. 

 eighteen inches up to the height of a fox-hound, judged by 

 the best combination of the essential characteristics.

DOGS POINTING A TORTOISE. 



Kedpiei.u, Iowa, August sad. 1874. 



One day this week three of us were out. and a line young pointer, after 

 trailing carefully Tor a hundred yards came to a boinfcOn a small tor- 

 toise. During the day another dog pointed two more. Yesterday we 

 were out again, and my dog struck a trail, which, from his actions, 1 

 thought— and I believe the dog thought- to be that of an old cock grouse. 

 The trail was followed carefully for at least sixty rod-, and for the last 

 twenty rods with extreme caution, keepiqg to windn aid. crawling flat 

 on his belly, with his nose just even with the top of the- bble and 

 turned towards the trail to catch the tirst scent of the bird. At last he 

 pointed, only for a moment, when, with a sniff of disgust are: - eepisB 

 look at me, he bounded away and began hunting as usual In less than 

 an hour the same thing was tepeated in another stubble. In both ca9es 

 he had been trailing a land tortoise. o. H. H.

—The Montreal club reached Hoboken August 31 and 

 there engaged in a game of cricket with the St. Georire 

 club of Ibis city. The attendance was unusually large for 

 a cricket match in this vicinity, over a hundred people 

 being present. The -Montreal eleven made a poor show 

 at the bat, Hardman and Gordon alone scoring; double 

 plays, and they were weak in bowling and missed chance 

 after chance for catches. The score of the first innings 

 play practically decided the match.

 ful affair of the kind known in the annals of cricket on 

 the American Continent. In every respect was it well 

 managed, and l he arrangements and ilk general result re- 

 flect the highest credit upon the .committee of manage* 

 ment, while the originators of the tourney and the Mayor Of 

 Halifax have great reason to be proud of the brilliant suc- 

 cess attending the cricket fete. The event to us, has 

 of course been the victories and honors obtained by our 

 representative American team, who as a native American 

 eleven of the criekelmg city of America, defeated not onlv 

 an All Canada eleven, Out a very strong English repre- 

 sentative eleven by scores decisive of the superior play of 

 our young countrymen . They not only won the games they 



played but also the prize for the best cricket team at the 

 tourney. Our reports of the contest failed to reach us in 

 time for this issue.
