A NOTABLE CANINE VISITOR.- We received a call on 

 Monday from the pure La.veraek setter bitch Meg Merrilies,

 who sends her to this country for' the purpose of breeding 

 her to Mr. Jas. H. Goodsdl s Prince. Meg i- Utter : ao- r,

THE NEW COCKER CLUB.-Aun Arbor. Mich., Feb. 87. 

 - Editor forest ami Stream: Scarcely a week passes by thai 

 i do not receive three or four letters of inquiry in 

 the new cocker organization. a~ well a - earnest napiii v saboiit 

 what I consider t he "true standard of the geuuii 

 -panicl." In the columns of lie- FOSEST ami sti-'kam I have 



read letters mid n-l'-ronees fr 'Sr.ic.henge.'' Nowhere 



throughout the works of "Btonehanjjo." does be attempt 



to describe, wiih any degr f accuracy, as to points and 



standard, tho ''genuine cocker," but on the contrary every- 

 where refer- to rl ooker as -the modern cocker," which he 



sa.v- •■includes every kind of h-id spaniel except the Sussex 

 and clumber." Now if this is true, it follows that the cooker 

 is nothing else than a mongrel. All spaniels ("exoepl the 

 Sussex and clumber") are. he says, tinctured w iih the cocker. 

 therefore all spaniels are ljiongrels. Now, I am one of many 

 who do profess to have an intelligent knowledge of what the 

 true cocker is, and there are many who do believe that tie- 

 cocker of the A. C. S. Club is not in accordance with that 

 authority, which carefully distinguishes between the mongrel 

 and the true cocker. Therefore, it is both our determination 

 . id dun io restore I he cocker to hi- true position, and to 

 disassociate him from th' mongrel Classes referred to, Iu 

 doing this, there need be no injustice done either io "the 

 modern field spaniel." which breeders are advancing to a dis- 

 titci and nseful family nor loth- ither varieties of tho span- 

 iel that have to a great extern pi < served their family identity. 



prove successful and that we shall soon see the association 



assume its rightful place and again become a "power in the 

 land."
