CHAMPIONSHIP (IF THE W( 1RLD. —Editor forest and 

 Stream: The New Orleans Gun Club have done well in pro- 

 viding a stake for the winning dogs at Field Trial*: but would 

 it not lie better to style the winner of thai stake ••Champion 

 of America." rather than •Champion of the World f The 

 former title would mean a great deal; the latter little or 

 nothing. How can a man assume that his dog is champion 

 when there may bo and probably are dogs abroad equal in 

 every respect to his own? If the club sticks to the proposed 

 name of the stake, would it not be a good plan to hold the 

 trials in the State of North Carolina, Countv of Buncombe?

BETIL GELERT. OR THE GRAVE OF THE GREYHOUKD. 



THE spearmau heart! the. bogle sound, 

 And eheerly smiled the morn, 

 And many a bracb and many a boiinil 

 Obeyed Lewellyn's horn. 



And still he blew a louder blast, 



And gave a lustier cheer: 

 •Come Helen, come, werl never last 



Lewellyn's horn to hear.

"Twas only at Lewellj n's board 



The faithful Gelert fed. 

 He watched, he served, he cheered his lord; 



And sentineled his bed. 

 In sooth he was a peerless hound, 



The gift of royal Johu, 

 Hut dow no Gelert could be found, 



And all the chase rode on. 



And nowj as o'er the cocks and dells 



The gallant chidings rise. 

 All Snowden 'scraggy Chaos yells 

 The many mingling cries. 



Thfit daj Lewclljn little loved 



The chase of hart and hare; 

 And seam and small (he booty proved, 



For Gelert, was not there. 



Un pleased Lewellyn homeward hied: 



When near the portal seat 

 His Lruant Gelert he espied. 



Bounding his lord to greel 



But when he

Lwellyn gazed with tierce surprise. 



Unused such looks to meet.

And crouched and licked his feet. 



Onward in haste Lesvellyn passed, 



Ami on went Gelert too! 

 And still whenever his -yes he east 



Fresh blood gouts shocked his view. 



O'erturned his infant's bed he EoiUM 

 With blood-stained covert rent, 



And all around the walls and ground 

 With recent blood besprent. 



He called his chilil no voice replied: 

 He searched with terror wild; 



Mood, blood he found on every side; 

 But nowhere found his child, 



■Hell hound, my child's by thee devour 



The frantic father Cried. 

 And to the hilt his vengeful sword 



He plunged in Gelert 's side. 



His suppliant looks, as prone he fel 



No pity could impart. 

 But still, his GelcrPs dying yell 



Passed heavy o'er his heart.

Ah. what was then Lewellyn's pain ' 

 Forthen the truth was clear. 



The gallant hound the wolf had slain 

 To save Lewellyn's heir. 



Tain, vain, was all Lewellyn's woe; 



'Best of thy kind, adieu: 

 The frantic blow, which laid thee low. 



This heart shall ever rue." 



And now a gallant tomb they raise
