 now makes the assertion (hat the word C, trVra'cd was twisted into 

 the word Champion tt .ml in more ready sale for the pun. This 

 acensation is neither gentlemanly nor just, as either word would 

 have applied to bis dog. The expression " champion " was used 

 without or knowing at .(hat time that there were two Elchos, or 

 wlio imported the one owned by Dr. .Tarvis. and as for mating ft

Now. the truth of the matter is this : Boiug at the dog show on 

 Thursday, the week of the show, I became acquainted with Air. 

 \V. X. Callender. the owner of Kory O'5forc. and in conversation 

 with him made the. remark that Iliad an Irish pup out of Highland

 New Haven. I heard a man say to some one. "Here is Jarvis, now." 

 Turning, I saw three gentlemen talking togetlur. ami 1 stepped up 

 to one of them and asked him if his name was Janis. He replied 

 that, it was. I then asked him if Elcho hud served Highland Lass. 

 Ho said that he had not. I thanked him and went out, 



The imp had been advertised before I saw Dr. Jarvis, and I did 

 not say that some one had tried to sell mo a pup or that 1 wanted 

 to sell the pup. As soou as I arrived homo I looked for the letter 

 I scut you last week, and read the same as 1 expected, that the 

 pup was out of Lass by Elelio, I intended to sift the matter to 

 the bottom at once, but was taken very sick and remained so for 

 two weeks, When 1 was itblo to return to business I was so busy 

 that 1 forgot the whole circumstance until I was reminded of it bv 

 having my attention called to tho first communication from Pr. 

 Jarvis in the Fonissr and Stkkam. to which I took pains to answer 

 as soon as possible. 1 have since refused to sell the pup at any 

 price. I wiU scud you the names of the owners of Elcho and 

 Highland Lass, imported by Col. Reeves, as soou as I can get them 

 from the gentleman who presented tho puppy to rue, and then Dr. 

 Jarvis can pursue his investigations as far as ho chooses. As for

ELCHO NOT DEFEATED.— Clareuiont, N. H., June 6, 1881.— 

 Elitor Funnt and Stream : Permit me, through your columns, to 



inform the American correspondent of the EiujUsii. /Vic/i' Keeper 

 that he got things a little mixed in his report of the New York 

 show of LiSl in regard to Irish setters. If ho will think again he 

 will, I feel sure, remember that champion Elcho did not compete 

 in champion class, and was not beaten at the show ; that he only 

 competed for best Irish stock dog prize, which ho won ; also was 

 one of the winning Irish kennel ; that he had not only " the honor 

 of being sire of tho winning puppies," but that the winner in 

 champion dog class was a sou of his ; that the winner of second 

 prize in open dog class was a son of his; that the winner of the 

 only c, h. c, in same class was a eon of his ; that the winner of 

 second prize in open hitch class was a daughter of hie ; that the 

 wiuuer of the only ». h . c. iu same class was a daughter of his, 

 and that tho winner of this latter B. h. r. was also one, of the brace 

 winners of the special cup offered for " best brace of Irish setters 

 in open classes regardless of sex." That is how the New York 

 Show of IMS! went, so rai-as Elcho and his sons, and daughters 

 were concerned, and I trust that the Ennlish stack Keeper will cor- 

 rect its correspondent's statements after 'knowing the facts as above 

 stated.— Mont Clare. 



BRUSH II. AND BLACKIE II.— Editor Forest and Stream: 

 lo your issue of May 12 there appeared an article signed "Dido," 

 wherein be seeks to cast a slur on our late importation of Brush 

 ft. and Klackiell. In the first place, let us say that his allc-gatmn 

 in reference to Brush and Ifbea being the bent brace of black span- 

 iels in England, in hi? remarks thereon, is only a. little dust tin-own 

 in the eyes of some who, perhaps, may be influenced in favor of 

 bit own importation, lie says, to begin with, that " Rhea has 

 been dead nearly a, voa.r, and good little hitch though she was, it 



n,i v a lung day'smoo him might, have, been considered ihe best 



in England. Hhmiori a, great u umber of prizes in her voiuigei -days, 

 but bad retired from tho show arena some years ago", and indeed, 

 was eventually killed on account of her great age." Now wo ask 

 what doe.-. Ibis statement mean but a disposition to do injustice to 

 one of the very best black cooker bitches in England?— one that 

 had gained seventy-eight lirst prizes on the show bench, and was. 

 only' ten years old when she died, which happened only a few 

 months ago. Does "Dido " attempt to show that there has hi en 

 ;i better one? Again he says: "Neither has Brush been consid- 

 ered the best dog iu England since Ivaltir and Zulu came out last 

 June," and addH that "Mr. Eafiten sold finish about the time 

 that Kaffir beat him." which he considers a very wise proceeding 



Now, ihe' I. rm.b is, Mi 1 anion Vntcf'ux, that neither Kaffir nor 

 auv of Mr. Jacob"- dogs ever did boat Brush dining all the time 

 lie'owued him. The last time he exhibited Brush was at the Crys-

A MEMBER OE THE LIFE SAVING CORPS— A u" lo?*, May 



HI, l.sSI An incident, occurred at the Westminster Kennel Club's 

 grounds at Babvlon, L. 1, , last Thursday, an account whereof 1 

 think woi thv ol insertion in your columns. Mv little Skie terrier 

 bitch. Wasp, is a great swimmer and frequently fellows the Super- 

 indent, about as he rows over the lake adjoining tho Club grounds. 

 She did so on Thursday hist, accompanied by Mr. P. 0. 00 Liize's 

 spaniel, Hankev. Aft,', swimming some lime, Wasp gave a liltlo 

 orvas if iu fear and sank to the bottom, probably having bfen 

 taken with a cramp. Sankcv heard the. velp, and turned town id 

 where she had disappeared and swam over the spot several times 

 whining meanwhile. Presently he dived, came up again, and 

 id a second time. This was repeated six or seven times till 

 inally he found her at the bottom and brought her up. swam with 

 ier to the shore, and had drawn her quite out of the water before 

 Ihe Superintend! ait reached him. Ho seemed delighted with bis 

 success, rushing about and uttering joyful yelps. Wasp was 

 nearly drowned, and it required active measures, rolling, rubbing, 

 etc., to restore her. 



I think Saukev's intelligence and persistence wonderful. The 

 story 1 give as I bad it from John Bead, the Superintendent of the 

 W. K. C, who was an eye witness of the performance. The water 

 was, I believe, between five and sis feet in depth.

 the street was cleared in an incredibly short time. Then Bingo 

 ran ahead of the engine and ,!■ arcd the rraj for blocks in advance

 found it blocked at Fenrl and Fulton streets. It. was while he was
