 After patient investigations 1 have come to the conclusion 

 that the depletion of the larger portion of our trout and sal- 

 mon st' earns is, in the mam. due to the clearing off of the 

 'forests and the tilling of the soil contiguous thereto, rendering 

 them warm and muddy, and while these conditions exist I

THE DOGS AT THE NEW YORK SHOW. 



Ediho 

 I ha 



few w 



ling Mr. Stuart Taylor's letter anent 

 and 1 feel inclined to reply to it in a 

 ree with him when he says, "There 

 ?able people in this world, and the 

 ,s class of human beings, the better I 

 iiuse 1 do love dogs, the dogs of the 

 ones which Mr. Mason savs "are de- 

 is curs" that, f feel const rainel to 

 lalf. Mr. Taylor remarks that his 

 lical. I consider him most hyper- 

 gers, but where dogs and dog shows

 two of his dogs, viz., the little bull-

Id satisfy Mr. Taylor, 

 tall not make the 

 how this year, and I 

 , In the ring he car- 

 the foxhound, whieh 

 h the pointer, but in 

 a of the graceful and 



11 classes of dogs as well as Mr. 

 a fair knowledge of pointers and 

 one, be he English or American, 

 s. I have, had the pleasure of 

 e shows in this country, but I 

 ben the large shows were open: 

 bout the foreign dog 



e not far behind our English cousins in sport- 



ing dogs, as is too often said by some English dog dealers, who 

 would be our teachers ami counsellors and guides for a con- 

 sideration ! Let us do what Mr. Stuart Taylor suggests, "im- 

 prove the. dog as we improve the horse, by careful breeding 

 and judicious selection/' but do not let us be discouraged be- 

 cause our dogs and dog shows do not meet the approval of 

 such men as Messrs. Mason and Graham.

Mr. Stuart Taylo 

 "Is 



She 



says in his "Notes on the New York Dog 

 eglish setter there I would give one huh- 

 rrent coin. Show- me just, one out of all 

 the examining ring that did not carry 

 t curling 'flag'." etc. He also wanted one 



tired dollars for i 

 that, host groiipe 

 right royally a .1 

 shown with a good chest, substance and bone, etc. 



Now I trust that Mr. Taylor will accept my refutation of 

 these sweeping charges in the spirit that prompts me to an- 

 swer, as I will neither ent-r, nor do I court any controversy. 

 I will merely say this to Mr. Taylor, in good faith and kindly 

 spirit, in justice to my dog: That if he will take the trouble to 

 visit me. the fourth' house on Linden Boulevard, Flatbush, 

 Long Island (street cars run every Ave minutes), I will tender 

 him a most courteous, hospitable and gentlemanly reception 

 to my home, and take the utmost pleasure in proving to him 

 that he did not scrutinize so carefully, nor is his sight so keen 

 as he thought. For 1 have an orange and white held trial set- 

 ter, three years old, full of as good, useful substance, bone, 

 sinew, perfect chest, and that he carries a tail "according to 

 Hoyle" alwavs and this same dog laced Major Taylor. This 

 is no bid for his best dog. I don't want him. I only ask him 

 not to condemn my dog because found in company unsuited 

 to his taste and fancy. 



I agree with him in some things, but in regard to my dog I 

 fear his whole-ale -laughter has been ondiscriramating. There 

 is need for no oue to hold the end of mv dog's tad. He has 

 ample courage to do the same unaided. ' In conclusion let mo 

 add. I have others of this same type, fast staunch, and endur- 

 ing— just such dogs as till the eye. and good as ever greeted 

 the gaze of practical sportsmen. Washing-ton A. Coster.
