The Svii.H!tisE Bench Show. — A dog show will be held in 

 the. Armory at .Syracuse in connection with the annual oon- 

 ri iitiim of the State Sportsmen's Association, on the 5th, 

 6th, 7th and 8th of Juno, providing it is not found expedient 

 to change the date. There is no reason to toticipate a 

 reiictition of last year's liaseo at Geneseo, and we expect to 

 sen a fine collection of dogs. The Westminster Kennel Club 

 give two cttps, and will send Sensation and a number of 

 their other pointers. Messrs. Wngstaff, Granger, Tileston 

 and other gentlemen of this L -i t y will send their kennels, and 

 Mr. Charles Lincoln will ably fill the office, of Superin- 

 tendent. With some omissions and a variation in amounts, 

 the prize list will be modeled very closely after that of the 

 late New York show. There will be four champion classes, 

 for English, Irish and Gordon setters and pointers, with a 

 prize of $50, divided between dogs and bitches, in each. 

 There will also bo the following open classes: For imported 

 English setters or their progeny of the. first generation, with 

 S20 each for dogs and bitches, and S10 each for puppies; 

 for native English, imported red or red and white; native 

 red or emss-brod. native or imported Gordons, and light and 

 heavy pointers, each with an equal amount of money in. prizes. 

 There arc also classes for retrieving and cocker spaniels, 

 fox 1 lounds and fox terriers among sporting dogs, each with $15 

 and $10 prizes. Among the non-sporting dogs there are 

 classes for mastiffs, St. Bernards, Newt'oimdiamls. coach 

 dogs, collies, pugs, black and tan terriers and skve. terriers, 

 each with $10 1 I 5 --.-. The premium Ests 'and entry

 Miiv is off month for game end fish, and consequently noth- 

 ing of interest to record in that line, except probabilities for 

 approaching season. Blnefish last year n-.ade their appenr- 

 mice May 2(lth. one wee!; later than I he year previous. Some 

 herring and bunkers, which had been found last week on 

 the beach, had evidently been roughly handled by bluefiSb, 

 The iirst sheepshend was taken last year, June 10th; in 187S, 

 Jane 12th. The best fishing recorded was luring the third 

 week in .Tone; Iirst black bass May- 1st: sea bas.s May 1th; 

 weaklish late, about July 28th, and scarce. Mr. W. W.Seott, 

 formerly of Pemberton, N. X., has purchased and refitted 

 the well-known Mullen House at Barnegai Mr. George 

 Pitman has leased the Clarence House. Mr. Cook has rented

Massachusetts, — Sew Unlfon!, liny 12th.— The month of 

 May is eminently the month for trout, and our amateur 

 fishermen are improving it to the full extent. Last week, 

 on visiting some of our most famous brooks, I found them 

 literally sentineled from rise to mouth. Among those to 

 show fine baskets was the veteran fisherman, Waterman; 

 also Messrs. Hathaway and Lucas, the latter showing one to 

 turn the scales at 1.1 pounds. Our markets are glutted with 

 marine tish of many kinds, and at extremely low prices.

The Ant rostdacks. — After an intermission of several years, 

 the. Adirondack fever is likely to break out afresh the com- 

 ing summer. Everywhere we hear of preparations among 

 sportsmon to spend their vacations in the North Woods. 

 Rev. ilr. Murray has written another book on the wilder- 

 ness, and the perusal of that will of itself give a renewed 

 impetus to the movement in that direction. After all. there 

 are no places that vye wot of that combine so much that is 

 aboriginal and primitive with so much that is luxurious and 

 modern, giving purest air, choicest spjort, and rejuvenating

Lake FraSASiut, May 9. 



Two weeks ahead of the usual time, but, not much ahead 

 of the fishing. 1 arrived here safely by the aid of Beuo Wil- 

 lard's comfortable stage last evening, and have, reveled in 

 trout and Bermuda onions. It's well I have them to fall 

 back on to-day, for winter has changed its mind and is giv- 

 ing us one more little snap; and to-day we sit by Steve. 

 Andrews' big fireplace and imitate Ik Marvel and Parson 

 Murray reveries and big fish stories. 



Tbe'lakers" are not yet rising to the spoon, nor the fon- 

 teuales to the fly, but No. ti Kinseys, well baited at the 

 anchors, have seduced a fine lot of the former from the 

 depths of the lake, and a goodly number of quarter and 

 half pound brook trout have yielded to the worm. After 

 this cold snap is over I guess the fun wiU begin. 



As the extent of my fishing so far has been but the capture 

 of about fifty small trout in a brook near Welles, while 

 waiting for the. singe, I will only tell you this time a little 

 story of a bear — a story which upset some of my precon- 

 ceived ideas as to the natural history of said bruins, and 

 one whieb is fully confirmed. I believe that there is a dis- 

 puted point as to whether bears hypernate in winter, living 

 by the absorption of their fat, or, as some say, sucking their 

 own feet (I never did quite talco that in), or rerhain lively. 

 One bear that I know of did neither. 



Lust August Mr. Daniel Cochrane of Welles captured in a

In November tin: oul,, then very fat, refused food The 

 owner dug a trench three feet deep, eight long and two wide; 

 covered it with boards and twm feet of soil, and led the bear 

 to the entrance, and the latter willingly entered and re- 

 fused to come out. A quantity of hay had been placed 

 the den; the next day this was found outside in several 

 small bundles. Two' days after, however, the cub had 

 changed its mind and carried it nil in again. The cab re- 

 urn.ind 111 the den until a week ago. During the winter he 

 wan visited frcij iieiitly and never found to lie asleep. The 

 slightest pull on his chain would be met by B pull back; he 

 was always lying uu his side awake. At oiie time a heavy 

 snowaud cold spell formed a solid ice cover over the en- 

 trance. This was not at first noticed, and when it was it
