DEATH OE ELASn.— Just as we arc going to press we learn 



from Dr. A. Bussell Strachan that hi- p...iulcr dog Flash in dead ; 

 and the Doctor writes us that his kennel man says that he was 

 poisoned. We sincerely trust tbis wan Lot, the :ase. Flash Was 

 one of the finest field dogs in Ameriua, and T)r. Sbachau Bays the 

 best be ever had the priwlie,,. rd shooting over. Flash was twelve 

 years of age, so that his host days were past. It is to be regretted 

 that hut little of his stock is in existence. Flash's progeny was 

 tho most famous of the kind m the country. He was the siro of the 

 best small pointer we e\er saw— iiaiiielr, Mr. W. F. Steel's Flake 

 Flash was by Dr. Stra.-.hans Go-cs oii'tof Teg. Both of these doits 

 arc so well-known that it is useless to again extol then- merits. 

 Recently Flash was bred to Mr. G. G. Barker's champion poinlei 

 bitch Princess, and Mr. Barker has just telegraphed for him to 

 visit Princess again. Besides siring Flake ho sired many oilier line 

 dogs.

ASIATIC BIRDS PGR . ^IlaUICA. 



It gives us much pleasure to lay I'ei'oie the readers of 

 the IToubst and Stream tlio suggestuuis einbotlictl in the 

 following letter, which we are kiudly permitted to publish 

 by its recipient, Capt. L. A. Beardslce. We commend the 

 project of introducing these new game birds as ote which is 

 feasible and will well repay the eiToit : 



U. S. S. Swatajia, .Shanghai, May 21. 

 My Dear Captain : 



An idea strikes toe, by which, perhaps, we can render 

 considerable service to the sportsmen at home and also add 

 to our own resources for amusement when on shore duty. 



Consul General Denny, here at Shanghai, is very much in- 

 terested in the importation into America of game birds and 

 has already, at his own expense, sent over nearly a hundred 

 brace of the Asiatic pheasant, which have been turned adrift 

 in Oregon (his own State) and California. He is very anx- 

 ious to continue this good work 011 a larger scale, but lacks 

 the means to do it properly. 



I believe there are some twenty odd varieties of the pheas- 

 ant in China and most of them can be read'ly procured here 

 in Shanghai. Of course the prices vary, the cheapest being 

 the common ring-necked variety, costing perhaps one dollar 

 per pair. Another beautiful game bird is the so-called Che- 

 loo partridge, red legged and red-billed, with black and 

 white stripes on the sides. 1 have killed the same thing, 

 minus the stripes, in Asia Minor. There is also the sand 

 grouse, several varieties of snipe and woodcock, such as we 

 never see at home, and, perhaps of less importance, large 

 numbers of the waterfowl species. 1 think, though, the 

 mandarin duck, which you doubtless remember, would be a 

 valuable acquisition, if only for bis bfautiful plumage. 



Mr. Denny 1 says he can have birds shipped as far us San 

 Francisco free of charge, at least he has succeeded in doiDg 

 so to this time, the captains of trans-Pacific steamers being 

 amiable and public-spirited ; but I doubt if this will hold 

 good for much future work, lie also says a good-natured 

 gentleman in San Francisco, connected with the U. S. Fish 

 Commission, will undertake to have them forwarded East 

 free of charge by the Pacific railways. There remains then 

 to be paid for the birds themselves, their food and the cages 

 for their long jsuraey. 



What 1 propose is that the sporting community in general 

 be informed of these facts through the Forest and Stream 

 and some plan be devised by which Consul-General Denny's 

 gratuiiously-olfered services may be utilized. I may assure 

 you here that he is a thorough sportsman himself and is only 



actuated by a desire to increase our home production of 

 sport. 



The Forest akd Sthbam is probably read In every gun 

 club in the country, and I believe a subscription started un- 

 der its auspices for such a purpose would have a great suc- 

 cess. Certainly all true sportsmen would respond, for we 

 have very few varieties 61 game birds in America, compara- 

 tively speaking. 



The Japanese game birds arc also within Mr. Denny's 

 reach, now that there is such constant intercourse with Na- 

 gasaki, and we might add to my list tho green and copper 

 pheasant, which, 1 believe, are only fQUJpi iliere, and the so- 

 stylcd giant woodcock. Of the latter I killed a specimen last 

 fall near Tokio which weighed, uudre.sscd, 12sV ounces. I 

 have also on board a stuffed copper cock, which" 1 killed near 

 Kobe in Fehruary last, the two tail feathers of which meas- 

 ure tbirty-six inches. I assure you that these birds, in rising, 

 give one an emotion such as our little quail or ruffed grouse 

 ulti rly fail to produce, and it is merely a matter of associa- 

 tion to secure for all time sport such as the fraternity wot 

 not of in America. 



The argument that these birds will not stand our climate is 

 absurd. They are found in Japan from the Straits of Lafe- 

 rouse to Kago'shima and in China from Tartary to Canton. 



Stir the matter up, my dear Captain ; show my letter to 

 the editors if you like, or publish it if they care For it — but in 

 any case stir it up. Very truly vours, 



'W. W. FilLOBR. 



A SPORTSMAN'S STUDIO. 



The following is a pen picture of the delightful room, 

 whose interior is familiar to readers of that charming book, 

 "Canoe and Camera." It is the sanctum of the author of 

 thai bo.d; : and our readers will agree with us that the col- 

 lection of camp-life mementos gathered here may well incite 

 others to preserve some tangible reminders of their sporting 

 'travels : 



The apartment is light and airy, handsomely frescoed in 

 Pompeiin red and brown, with a good reflecting ceiling of 

 blue, and, forming a sort of bordering, is a series of inscrip- 

 tions, recalling enjoyable hunting trips of the past — " Camp 

 I iife on ihe Indian lfiver, l<'la.," "Trout. Tales from Maine," 

 " Lake Superior Reminiscences," " Etchings from Florida," 

 " The Raugeley Lake Regions." First to at 1 ract the atten- 

 tion of a sportsman is a full buckskin hunting suit, even to 

 the boots, and with the short pistol and bunting knife in 

 their belt. The hat, of cork, bears the mark of its Chinese 

 maker. Of ritles, etc., there arc several, including a trusty 

 Sharps, » splendid London twist double-barrel fowlipg piece, 

 aud smaller rifles intended for. target or sporting purposes 

 alike. Revolvers, a half do/.en or more, complete' the arma- 

 ment, if wc may except, the cases of brass cartridges, and 

 the polished tools for dismounting aud cleaning the weapons. 

 A leather case, five feet long, envelops fishing rods of that 

 trustworthy material, split bamboo —lithe, slender things 

 which the novice would discard as too weak to land a chub, 

 but which, in the hand of a skillful angler, will bring a ten ■ 

 pound trout to the net, aud bear no mark of ihe Mrnin. A. 

 fanciful little rod, jointed, of Japanese make, extends its 

 taper over the middle of the apartment, and from a bit of 

 line is suspended a snow-white dove, stuffed. Heels are at 

 hand with silken or hemp lines, and portfolios filled with 

 hooks fitted with flies of plain or startling hues which tempt 

 or fail as trial most captious of fish, the trout, may fancy the 

 color of the meal. Thus have been named in brief some of 

 the implements svhieh the sportsman uses ; now for some of 

 their results. In this branch the objed appears to have been 

 to preserve only a few of the curiosities. Two pelican heads 

 and a preserved skin of that bird, a white ibis skin, and a 

 stuiTcd snake bird from Florida (a long lank fellow who 

 swims with astonishing rapidity underwater), are reminis- 

 cences of a Florida tour, and serve to illustrate Due character 

 of the collection which is but just begun. That the pursuit 

 of those speckled beauties— trout — is a favorite pastime is 

 apparent in several charmingly executed trout sketches, for 

 the gentleman who captured ttic fish adds to the skill of the 

 angler the infrequent ability of placing upon canvas the 

 forms and colors of his cap; tiros. A six-pounder, life size, 

 upon birch bark, attracts the attention, and upon ac easel 

 and elsewhere around the apartment arc finished or unfinished 

 oils picturing this handsomest of fish. At present, existing 

 in contemplation only, is a series of pictures of Rangeley 

 Lake (Maine) trout, from five to ten pounds in weight, to be 

 placed in regular order upon a part of the. wall now devoted 

 to varied Sketches. 



Passing from matters of interest more particularly to 

 sportsmen, may be noted some features and odds and 'ends 

 which add to the varied attraction of the place. A desk in 

 the centre of the room, over which is suspended a large gas 

 light, has a shelf of the works of the best writers upon sport- 

 ing topics, and just to tho rear of this a window alcove is 

 tilled by a cushioned conch with elevated pillowB, where, as 

 the cooling evening breeze fans the cheek, a good Havana 

 and its accompanying newspaper are calculated to secure a 

 pleasant hour of rest after the heat and toils of the day. 

 Close at hand lies a complete tile of that best of sporting 

 journals, the Forest aku Stkeaji, 011 whose paces appear 

 many sporting sketches from the pen of the gentleman whose 

 resort is here, described. Turning to the curiosities of the 

 apartment, a corner with an easel in the foreground holds a 

 strange and picturesque collection— a landing-net, a wicker 

 fish-basket, surmounted by a trout picture, a framed copy of 

 the rules of the Hartford Game Club, :l rilic ami cartridges, 

 a national Hag, portfolios filled svith skelrhrs. collars which 

 suggest, tramps with favorite hunting dogs, and a variety of 

 minor 111 Holes pleasing to a sportsman's eye. Two dint lock 

 muskets crossed against the wall near by suggest the arms of 

 our ancestors, while beneath are a fine pair* of .leer'-, antlers 

 from the Lake Superior region, and crossed „ ■..! 1 ■,., r, Vl - A ., 

 wiudowti.ro relics of the late French and I'm s inn eout.osp 

 Dried palmetto leaves recall the sunny South, and 11 picture 

 of the yacht Madge, a delightful voyage in company with 

 the New York Yacht Club. Curiosities in pipes include one, 

 of Indian workmanship picked up in Ihe woods of the Lake 

 Superior regiou, and a black bogwood pipe bears upon ir the 

 shamrock and harp of Erin prettily cut. Foils and masks 

 suggest the once popular fencing exercise, and a "Jack" (a 

 kind of lantern) stealthy canoeing in night pursuit of deer, 

 fascinated by its gleam. Three great leelners converted into 

 scrap books record the events of the late war, and fast to 

 mention, but none the less important, is a full ches* of looks 

 for light work on wood or metal, the convenience of Which 

 will be appreciated by every gentleman, in keeping in repair 

 the implements of sporting life,
