not reasonable to suppose lie can immediately transfer his 

 affections, nor do for you as he had done for his former 

 master, until he becomes thoroughly reconciled to his new 

 home. Wo remember a case where a fine seller, splendidly 

 broken, was purchased by a gentleman at. a distance, and 

 after two days journey by express, the dog reached him. 

 Anxious to try the animal at once the buyer drove up to 

 the train on its arrival, and the setter was immediate!* 

 transferred to the wagon and taken to 1he field that hi 

 merits might be tested. Of course the poor dog failed in 

 every respect, through the fatigue he had undergone by 

 railroad and nn account of the total strangeness of the sur- 

 roundings, and was returned forthwith with the informa- 

 tion that he was worthless. He was purchased shortly 

 afterward by a sportsman more judicious and rational than 

 the first, and thoroughly satisfied with him, he often refused 

 double the price he gave for him. Such crises occur 

 frequently, and our advice is, become first acquainted with 

 your new dog before condemning him and the seller, and 

 only after perfect rest and acquaintance with Mm, take him 

 into the field.

A Fox Chase.— A correspondent writing to us from 

 distant Deer Lodge, Montana, sends the following sketch 

 of a regular old-fashioned chase after Reynard. It soems 

 that the West is after all the home of true sportsmen, for 

 though defying all dangers to amass a fortune, yet they 

 spice their life quite frequently with a dash after the buffalo, 

 deer, antelope or fox, and receive new vigor from their 

 many sallies after the game with which their country 

 abounds : 



The knights of the saddle and spur gave the hounds 

 another long run on Saturday afternoon as a " farewell" to 

 Mr. John Pemberton, who left for Missouri on Tuesday. 

 Among other trophies brought in were two splendid foxes. 

 The one first flushed wa3 a scrub out of luck, and was 

 easily overtaken ; but the second was a " medicine" fox, 

 and proved so leggy that the pack had a run cf over three 

 hours before they holed him. As an instance of the saga- 

 city Of Reynard, we, give Hie following incident of the 

 chase ; After a two hours run, on coming to a stream, both 

 dogs and fox were badly jaded— the fox but a short dis- 

 tance ahead and wheezing at, every jump. After crossing, 

 Reynard slowly jogged up the bank, and, turning square 

 about, stopped to see what the hot pack at his heels would 

 do in crossing. The little general reckoned the cool stream 

 would prove too inviting to be resisted by his pursuers, and 

 he was right ; for as thev plunged into lire wain tlii-v com 

 to a dead halt, Some laid down, others looked wistfully 

 up (he bank, but all preferred the water to the trail. Seeing 

 this, his lordship of the brush leisurely walked into the 

 shade of a friendly tree, faced the tired hounds, and 

 quietly stretched himself on the grass, as much as to say 

 "I'll take a little rest myself ; so you shall have none, the 

 best, of it." And there' the rogue lay wilh an eye on the 

 pack until they got rested— perhaps five minutes— and 

 were urged up the bank to the scent again. At the first 

 note Reynard, as fresh as a daisy and with a look of defi- 

 ance at the hungry band behind, sprang up nimbly and 

 sped away like the wind— over hill, down ravine aud 

 through thicket he flew, with the music of thepack hurry- 

 ing him to his best, and the clatter of hoofs telling him 

 that some one would be in at the death. But in vain the 

 game little fellow ran ; in another hour he was forced into 

 his castle, there capitulated to the spade, and was brought 

 into town alive. 



—The first grand fox hunt of the season, under the aus- 

 pices of the Staten Island Shooting Association, took place 

 on Wednesday. The meeting, which was called for half 

 pasTnine o'clock A. M., met at Mr. Jaycock's farm, at 

 Bulcberville, between Bull's Head and Gianitcville, on the 

 north side of the island. All gentlemen Jin Richmond 

 county and vicinity owning hounds were invited to par- 

 ticipate in the chase.

LIST OF RACES AND WINNERS FOR 

 1874. 



—We print herewith alistof the yacht races for 1874. This 

 list was prepared by a gentleman in Boston, who is too mod- 

 est to allow his name to be used, as his efforts are devoted 

 only to this journal, aud he does the work on no other 

 ground than the desire to have the calendar properly repre- 

 sented, and enable inquirers to know the winning boats 

 by a reference to dates. This geutleman occupies one of 

 the highest positions in the yachting circles of this country; 

 and from the thoroughness of his labor one can readily sur- 

 mise his acquaintanceship with the matter under consider- 

 ation, and his close attention to the subject. 



This document will be found of very high importance 

 by all yachtmen, and the lovers of their sports, as it is the 

 only one prepared on the subject; and even this has been 

 done as a special compliment to the Forest and Stbeam 

 for its devotion to yachting, and tho usual complete- 

 ness of its reports on all these subjects. Thus while we 

 are enabled lo lay before our readers a valuable document, 

 we are, at the same time, complimented by the very warm 

 letter accompanying it, and the many emeries sent us relative 

 to the matter. We arc pleased to learn that the effort of 

 this journal in this class of elegant pastimes has been recog- 

 nized by the best authorities in the land, and that they feel 

 it their duty to sustain our efforts in every way possible. 

 For this kind consideration we beg leave to tender thanks 

 to the gentlemen who have so freely and ably aided us in 

 making our yachting reports the models of completeness 

 and thoroughness they have been deemed to be.
