Mi. Lonsdale’s Romp was drawn. 
Mr. Llewellin’s CouuteasMoll, first prize; his Countess Bear* second 
prize. 
Regarding this trial the Meld says: “In a grass field 
Countess Bear made a beautiful point, the red hitch back¬ 
ing her in fine form; but she forsook her point on the 
report of the gun, and ran all over the field, utterly heed¬ 
less of her breaker. Further on Mr. Backed had to put up 
his hand to drop her, when a hare rose, and she made one 
glaring false point. The decision was given against poor 
Magic, who won throughout, never making a mistake, and 
backing beautifully, though she had not luck enough to 
get on birds. The kennel companion of the winner of the 
last heat, Countess MolJ, had exactly two minutes with 
Mr. Field’s Daisy, and happened to run straight up to a 
brace of birds almost immediately, when she was taken 
up, and declared the best we had seen, Nora, when down 
with Mr. Stutter's black bitch, Daisy, did not show the 
pace and style of the previous day, aud missed some birds 
she ought, to have found. In a field of thick clover she 
and Daisy, racing along together, ran up two lots of birds 
in succession, and the judges soon after gave first and 
second prize to the Wellesley kennel.” 
The closing event was the Champion prize lor winners, 
for which there were five entries: Dash II. beat Grace, 
Countess Moll beat Young Sam, Dash II. beat Rector and 
Countess Moll. Wiuner of the Plate, Mr. J. Armstrong’s 
Dash II., by Blue Prince out of Kate, 2 years. 
Regarding the winner Bell’s Ufe. says: “The winner of 
the Champion Cup, Dash II., is a very handsome dog, 
very low and lengthy, and of quite the true Laverack type. 
Although quite a young dog he has won many prizes at 
shows, and his’pedigree quits confirms the opinions that I 
have constantly expressed in these columns—namely, that 
the best setters are the Laveracks, and the nearer they are 
bred to that strain the better. Dash II, is very nearly a 
pure Laverack, as he is by Blue Prince, a son of Pride of 
the Border. American sportsmen will be pleased to hear 
of this victory, his dam being Kate, by old Blue Dash out 
of a hitch with Laverack blood in iter, so Dash II. may be 
fairly called a Laverack with the slightest stain of outside 
blood in him, 
FOOD FOR DOGS. 
We are in receipt of the following letter from Mr. L. 
R. Cassard, of Baltimore, Md., a gentleman of much ex¬ 
perience in field sports. Food prepared according to the 
directions given would certainly be very substantial and 
easily carried by shooters aud hunters on tlieir trips, aud 
even for home consumption would be quite economical and 
wholesome:— 
Baltimore, May lath. 1876. 
Editor Forest and Stream:— 
For those sportsmon who desire to take dog feed from home, thus 
avoiding the dilllculty and trouble of procuring it while on ihefr hunting 
trips, the following, 1 think, “will RH the bill." I made a lot about tivo 
months ago, and last week It was aa sweet as the day on which It was 
cooked. Ten pounds corn meal; five poauds oat meal; five pounds 
lean beef, ent in very small pieces; one drachm salicytic acid. Boil the 
meal and beef together, anjl when nearly done add the acid, it is best to 
dissolve It In, say a pint of water. I think a less quantity, even, of the 
acid will do, although in almost any quantity it is harmless. Of course 
the Ingredients are with the person making the cake, as he can make it 
of whatever material he thinks ll f ; the above, however, i« a good diet 
and cheap. Make into loaves or cakes. Yon are at liberty to use this, 
and 1 trust some of your friends will give it a fair trial.

THE DACHSHUND. 
' Munich, April 1876. 
Editor Forest and Streami- 
Id reply to Fr. von Ivernois, I would simply say, lhat if he will take 
the trouble to turn to the October 14th number of Forest and Stream, 
he wi 1 find the following, under the head of the Champion Dachshund: 
"He has ugly tricks, too. If he finds a deader wounded animal, he 
will help himself to a goodly meal, aud when he thinks I do not take 
him out often enough he will go out alone, visit the burrows, and hunt 
for days after hares and deer.” 
Now, as Fr. von Ivernois writes that he pays his gamekeeper to shoot 
dogs of that kind, I tremble for the champion. Dachshunds are of all 
colors from white to black, but those most preferred are Ibe black and 
tan without any white at all. The dachshunds were originally, and are 
still, short behind (the finer the coat the better), how-legged Jitile fel¬ 
lows, and if your friend in Leipzig hasfounda long-haired race of dach¬ 
shunds, he will confer a favor on all sportsmen and myself by submitting 
to ns his evidence. \V. G. M. 
ANOTHER CURE FOR MANGE. 
Utica, April Stub, 1876. 
Editor Forest and Stream:— 
I sec in almost every number of the Foiirst and Stream (Hal. you 
have application for a remedy fot the cure of inaugc in dogs. Last fall 
1 purchased a setter pup, the person from whom I nought the dog agree¬ 
ing to keep him till he was five months old. Well, the dog arrived ac¬ 
cording to agreement. 1 had in the meantime requested the gentleman 
to inform me what kind of food the dog had been used to. The infor¬ 
mation came. The food used by him for all his dogs was Indlau and 
oatmeal in equal portions, boiled, and mixed with a little milk, or gravy, 
and some meat also boiled; chopped iino and stirred in. Very good food, 
no doqbt, hut rather heating, especially when fed to young dogs. The 
consequence was the food used, combined with n dirty kennel, caused 
the dogs to have the mange very had. Now for the remedy: Take one. 
ounce or oil of tar, ono ounce lac sulphur, four ounces or sperm oil; 
mix and nib well into the parts affected. This remedy is a certain cure 
for mange in all cases. My dog was completely cured by ihvce applica¬ 
tions only—one application once In every t hree days. 1 washed the dog 
before the first and every application with soap and warm water, the 
soap being well rinsed out each time, and the dog well dried before ihe 
mixture was applied. 
I trouble you with this communication because I know tbe remedy to 
be good, having aeen It used in a number of cates, aud always resulting 
in a cure. Sometimes two applications only are needed, and I never 
knew of more than four being required. Thomas Birt. 
Stratford, May, 1376. 
Editor Forest and Stream;— 
Having frequently seen in yout valuable paper inquiries from corres¬ 
pondents how to cure the mange, I send you this-result of u>y friend 
Mr. J. Peck's experience. A setter dog helo; g’ g «•. •-. • huviig. bad H 
two seasons, and being useless the second year lor liuuilug on aceoiiut of 
having the mange so badly, was cured by ray frieud Peck. He having 
tried some of the best remedies be bad read of without effect, lastly, 
thought he would try kerosene oil, applying It every other day for two or 
three weeks, at which time the disease disappeared and the hair,grew 
rapidly. One of my neighbors also had a dog which had it for three years; 
he used the kerosene oil, Tbe disease disappeared and the hair has ail 
grown out. Also a hound of my fnend Peck’s, three weeks ago, had the 
red mange back of lore leg; three applications and the disease disap 
peared and the hair is growing. 
If you or any of your friends will try this, I am sure they will find it a 
sure remedy. One advantage is, tbe dog it not apt to lick it. W e apply 
the kerosene with a cloth or brush, J. C. J3.

MAY IS A CLOSE MONTH FOR GAME. 
—Mr. Robert Davies, of the Toronto Gun Club, sends 
an account of a deer bunt, which we have not space to 
publish in full. It details the adventures of a party of 
eight gentlemen, who went into the hush with a cook and 
camp equipage, starting from Toronto on the 13lh of No¬ 
vember last and returning on the 25lh, having secured 
more venison than they could eat throughout the whole 
winter. Their hunting ground was some ten miles from 
the Victoria Road Station, on the Toronto and Nipissing 
Railroad, and about ninety-five miles northeast from To¬ 
ronto. The relator tells a story of how a country store¬ 
keeper named Sutherland sued the cook for fifty cents for 
a broken lamp, and finally had to pay his own costs and 
$110 additional! The result was considered a good, enough 
joke on the merchant to print in the city papers. 
Massachusetts— Salem, May 8th, — I saw a friend the 
6th who tells me that week before last he shot thirty-six 
snipe near River Hamilton. This is high line. The shoot¬ 
ing has beep poor enough this spring, and sniping has been 
rather discouraging sport. A good bunch of winter yellow 
legs went along yesterday P. JVI. Uplands, teeters, peeps, 
and solitary sandpipers also have arrived. Bitterns and 
herons are represented, but I have not seen a person who 
has seen the regular spring flight of geese. Teal. 
Ohio— Ashtabula, May ith. —Messrs. Jerry Culler, engi¬ 
neer on the Lake Shore Railroad, and W. C. Haskell did 
some tall shooting, having within five hours shot no less 
. than forty-two English snipe. J. C,
