irk, Mr, Lorl judged them well, ignoring In a 

 great extent color, which has at many of our English Bhows 

 been allowed to influence decisions too much. Champion 

 setters formed a group of English, Irish and Gordons, delight- 

 f\tl and refreshing to the eye of a sportsman— Dash, Flora, 



\ Vimis iiuJ DuU ai Benga u all had to lower their 



colors to tin' Irish champion Dick, a dog with about as good a 

 head as Palmerston, better in chest, rich in color, and good all 

 over: bis name and some of his progeny are well kao 

 many of your readers, Gordon setters were nine), above an 

 average. The winner was a splendid specimen, well made 

 bout— fine, long and well shaped skull, long muzzle, 

 with well developed ■! ■ ■ i : > ■■ ■ i ■ i . n!i';;ns, a nice carriage in 

 moving— a proof of synunetry; his neck and shonl 

 light and elegant, the latter nicely sloped: hi' is Well ribbed, 

 and his quarters and. sickle hocks unexceptionable. Bitches were 

 also good, and Dot one shown was unworthy of commendation. 

 In a fair class of Irish setters the defeat of' Mr. O. YV\ Gordon 

 MeHaflie's well-known and really .superlative bitch Minn, 

 by a young aspirant to fame, created quite a small sensation, 

 hut Mr. Lort was. we think, quitd justified, Qtouse, the 

 winner, being an oxecptionidlsl ugodogod. He won his fain 

 at Dublin, where- he look fir y ruler Mr, Lort. He was thene 

 claimed before entering the ring l>r [the represemaiive of 

 The Country, and passed into the" hands of Mr. Fletcher, in 

 whoso keeping he has wonderfully improved, In the English 

 setter class ihe Laverock strain was strongly represented. 

 Your readers will regret to leru'n we have lost that veteran

Lord Haddington exhibited a nice team of this breed, including 



four teu-months'-old pups of the true clumber tvpe, but at

each, which was dirt-cheap. Irish water spaniels, of which 



there were several fine specimens, had to appear in the variety

 young dog of this breed we have seen for years. Second 

 lion-- were divided between two good ones, and Kit was 

 really very highly commended, although by accident omitted 

 from the official prize list. These are all of the true tvpe as 

 n .gnized by the bull-dog clubs. Mr. Shaw swept tin- 

 in bull terriers, large and small; he has in these two breeds 

 perhaps, the best kennel in the world. Bedlingtons. mostly 

 hailing from "Coaly," Newcastle, were a tine lot. These are 

 a class— if 1 may judge from the schedule of flic New York 

 Dog Show, just received here— you do not encourage in the 

 Slates, but they are worth importing; second cousin to the 

 Dandie on higher legs, with a dash of bull judiciously hidden. 

 They are courageous and enduring, and make rattling vermin 

 dogs. They numbered 27 here. 



Black-and-tan terriers, with the exception of the rcdoutable 

 Belcher. Surprise, General and two smaller ones, were inferior. 

 Fox terriers, especially the dogs, were better than usual at 

 Scotch shows, andDandie Diumonts and skye terriers literally 

 swarmed. Mr. James Locke, an experienced breeder and suc- 

 cessful exhibitor, judged the Bandies single handed, and out 

 of the 50 selected the best for honors. Edinburgh is noted for 

 skye terriers, and the prick-eared class was a large and good 

 one: but there was one prevailing fault, namely — shortness of 

 back. Mr. Locke and Mr. Dabjial judged and gave prcttv 

 general satisfaction. Of the remaining classes there was 

 nothing worthy of special comment, except Italian greyhounds, 

 which was the largest and best class I have ever seen'. There 

 were a few good pugs, but the class did not, do justice to the 

 breed In the small-sized variety class ware wire-haired fox 

 terriers, white English terriers and Dachshunds. 



In closing my remarks, may I lie allowed to say there arc- 

 many regrets 'expressed here that time was not given to 

 English exhibitors to send some of their specimens to the New 

 York show, and it is hoped by many that a really international 

 show may yet be held ; and should the Westminster Kennel 

 Club essay such a venture. I am certain they need not lack 

 hearty co-operation on this side the Atlantic. 



The Shuewsburx Field Tbiam.— Without having space in 

 which to give an account of the various events of the above 

 meeting, we cannot refrain from printing from Bell's Life, 

 the graphic account by the representative of that paper, of 

 the gallant manner in which old Banger won his victor}-. 



" The Shrewsbury Stakes brought a wonderful lot of aged 

 setter dogs together, including Hanger, Dan II., winner of 

 the Field Trial Derby last year; Y. Sam, the winner of the 

 Grouse Stakes in the Highlands last year; Rake, the winner 

 of numerous trials; and Sam, another big winner; besides 

 Dash 1L, last year's champion, who cleared everything out. 

 Probably it is the best field Ranger ever met, and 'the ofd dof 

 never acquitted himself in grander form, or proved more ef- 

 fectually, to the discomfiture of those who have abused him 

 that they were wrong, and that I was right three years ago' 

 after he beat Hector in the fashion he did, in saying in these 

 columns that Hanger was the best setter in the world. The 

 stake opened by John Armstrong's Y. Sam making a great 

 example of Mr. Statter's Frolic, as he ran round him and 

 took two beautiful points, in very grand form. Y. Sam is 

 quite one of the cracks Of the day. Then Mr. Llevvellin's 

 Sam beat Mr. Lonsdale's Spanker easily, followed by Mr 

 Lipscombe's Bill defeating Mr. Fontleroy's Pound, who was 

 unfortunate. Then came down champion Ranger witli Y T . Dan 

 and the old dog in racing for the lead, got it just as he pleased! 

 and when going forty miles an hour bis keen nose drops him 

 on birds in his old form, and of course they are there. In 

 seven minutes, over a large space of ground", he takes three 

 points to Dan's one, and very soon the Hag goes up for him 

 Then he is given a turn with Y. Sam, and lie steps away from 

 him with Hi icing up by the side of the fence, and 



down be is again on birds. The next point isin the middle ofthc 

 Held, and Y.Samheiv - let shnes I o back himnaturally, and as every 

 fault must go against such cracks as these, he is turned out 



with ({anger, the working of Ihe two dogs being magnificent ; 

 but Ranger leads when they race for their casts', ami he finds, 

 or when Dash II. finds, he 'backs him across a forty acre field. 



The spectators think Ranger is first, Dash IT. second, and 

 one of the Sams third, but Young Sam settles his father, and 

 the judges place—

Ranger has been i rained and wanked for this event by E. 

 Bishop of Newton, who got the condition prize for Ranger 

 also, so lie does Bishop immense credit. I hear by telegraph 

 that this extraordinary .seller has also won the Champion Cup 

 beating Mend, Nora, Noma, Bow Bells, and Bang, so he is 

 now fairly in his old position as the champion setter of Eng- 

 land. 



EUvUp. A correspondent in Pottsville, Pa., sends us Ihe 

 following account of ihe manner in which a resident of thai 

 place saved his dog: Dash, an imported Kndish setter, be- 

 longing to a gentleman living in the suburbs of this town, was 

 cnjo\ ing a repast the either day, when he miscalculaleil Ihe di- 

 mensions of n bone which became securely wedged in his 

 throat. For ten days the poor animal could' not cat anything, 

 and was about dying from starvation, when his master and a 

 friend went to work with a sharp knife and cut a slit three 

 inches long in his throat, pulled out the bone and immediately 

 seweel up the slit with some black silk thread, and to-day the 

 dog is as sleek, fat and happy as if his throat was never cut.

SCHUYLKILL NOTES. 



Pnn.vrvELi'HiA, .Uny 20, ISIT.—Tlie I. oa ting season on tlio Schuylkill 

 lor this year seems to promise comparative quiet. There will he no 

 open spring regatta, and the local navy regatta does not as yer awaken 

 a decided interest, although the event is near at hand. On Friday, a 

 week ago, there was a very pretty race between undergraduates of the 

 University of Pennsylvania, the crews t.eing from the University Barge 

 Club and the College Boat Club. Tliey pulled over the national coarse 

 one and a half miles, the lattei -club winning by a little more than a 

 length. Time, 9m. 32 '.,s. 



The result was a surprise, as the College crew seemed inferior in 

 both st.rengl.il and shir.

—A gentleman took his little boy to a model farm to seethe 

 wonders of the place. After they had been there a short time 

 the little fellow ran crying to his father, being at the same 

 time pursued by a big turkey-cock, which was trying to get a 

 piece of bread out of his hand. " What, my boy," said the 

 father, " are you afraid of a turkey ? Why, you ate part of 

 one yesterday." "Yes, papa," responded the little fellow, 

 wiping his eyes, "but- this one isn't cooked."

Cement for Ieok and Stone.— Glycerine and litharge 

 stirred to a paste hardens rapidly, and makes a tolerable cement 

 for iron upon iron, for two stone surfaces, and especially for 

 fastening iron in stone. This cement is insoluble, and is not 

 acted upon by strong acids. Cloth can be cemented to polished 

 iron shafts by first giving them a coat of best white lead paint; 

 this being dried hard, coat with best Russian glue dissolved 

 in water containing a little vinegar or acetic acid.— Iron.
