FOREST AMD STREAM. 



Rapid, Mr. J, H. Wbitehouse's pointer, the winner of the 

 first pointer prize in the Horscheath Stake, is a very fast dog, 

 has an excellent nose, goes in splendid style, travels as level 

 a8 a die. He is a fine backer, and, taking him all round, he 

 is in the first rank of field trial performers. He is now six 

 years old, but works as well as ever he did. He has won a 

 lot of prizes, and has only by bad luck missed many more. 

 Ho is by champion Chang out of Romp, and his dam once 

 beat the celebrated Devon Bang. He came up to his work 

 this year fit and well. 



Blot, the pointer dog that was a winner in the Horseheath 

 Stake, is a good-looking animal. He has won some prizes on 

 the show bench, but will never rank A 1 in this respect. He 

 is a lively goer, carries himself in nice form, has a long 

 reaching stride, a good position on point, and is a pretty 

 backer. He ran a good dog, and was in one trial declared 

 beaten before he was scarcely slipped, and in another was 

 hardly beaten. He seems a very reliable dog, and has been 

 broken to quarter in a most satisfactory way. What he 

 wants is a bit more pace to increase his chance of finding 

 game, as the dog that can do this quickest at field trials often 

 in doing it covers a multitude of faults. Hiot is another Old 

 Drake poinler, and as such he will always be regarded as a 

 good dog to breed from. As an evidence of what he can do 

 in the stock-getting line, I may instance that excellent, puppy 

 Sail, the winner of the second in the Derby Stake, and after 

 this proof of what he can do, there is little doubt but he will 

 have hia chances of adding to Ids fame in this direction 

 greatly increased. 



Garnet, another winner in this stake, is'an excellent dog, 

 but it appears that he has not been quite kept up to his back- 

 ing, as his failing to do so alone put him out. He is a very 

 good dog, except the deficiency above pointed out. He is a 

 big strapping pointer, goes a capital pace, is under excellent 

 command, and in his bleeding combines the best blood of Mr. 

 G. Pilkington's well-known kennel. Garnet should prove a 

 most successful stud dog. 



Luck of Eden Had, the winner of the Derby stake, is a 

 lemon and white dog, by Drake and Sail. He is a rough- 

 looking auimal, but very few of Drake's stock are much in 

 appearance. He has no very great pace, but keeps on work- 

 ing in a persevering way. Ho has been very well trained 

 and is remarkably steady on his game. His position on point 

 is good, and, taking Uim altogether, he is a very good puppy ; 

 still, I do not see anything great iu him. He is a useful 

 pointer, and combining as'he does such first-class field trial 

 blood, and this with coming out the first puppy of 1879, will 

 make him a valuable dog. In looking at this dog we cannot 

 help wishing that more attention is not paid in breeding field 

 trial pointers, to combine good looks with their other quali- 

 ties. The contrast between his appearance and his kennel 

 companion, Bow Bells, is a very striking illustration of what 

 I mean. 



Mr. Barclay Field's Sail, the runner up with Luck, is a 

 bitch that shows a lot of quality. She is of medium size, 

 white with liver ears, and ticked about the body. She is a 

 stylish bitch at work, very staunch and steady, and well 

 broken for her age, though perhaps a little bit nervous. She 

 had to do a lot of work to get to her position — more so than 

 the absolute winner— and she did it well. She had a good 

 turn of speed, and not until she had done enough to knock 

 up any puppy, did she give evidence of distress, so that she '/ 

 may be fairly said to be a good stayer. If she had only done 

 the same work as Luck when she went down in the final tie, 

 I fully believe she would have turned the tables on him. In 

 this we had an example of the necessity Of making dogs run 

 out their byes, She carries her head like game-finding, has a 

 nice even action, and is very tractable. She exhibits a fair 

 nose and is careful in making out her game, and, taking her 

 all in all, her owner has just reason to be proud of her. 



Puss, the winner of the Puppy Stake at Chester, is a nice 

 bitch, goes in a level easy style, has plenty of pace, and 

 seems to be able to do any amount of running without 

 knocking up. She has a very good nose, is thoroughly well 

 broken, and remarkably steady on game, ranges well, and 

 leaves no ground unbeaten. She is by Lord Sef ton's Sam 

 out of Major Starkie's Kori; but of Kori I know nothing, 

 only that she is said to have a good local pedigree. Sam is 

 too well known by his produce to require any com m ent of 

 mine to make his worth better understood. 



Mr. Lloyd's Price's Tick, the winner of third at Chester, is 

 the pointer puppy of the year. She is a grand goer, has a 

 regular racing style of gallop, and has the most pace of any 

 pointer puppy I have seen this year. The easy way she gets 

 over her ground shows the fine formation of her chest and 

 limbs. She continues to hunt at a clipping pace as often as 

 she is called upon, showing no signs of distress. She ran 

 throughout these trials at a great disadvantage, being in 

 season, but as it was, she would, if not drawn, have, I believe, 

 won the Derby Stake with more in hand than luck. She is a 

 good size, liver and white, ticked. Being entered in an aged 

 stake, her pace and endurance were fully tested, and the more 

 I saw of her at work the better I liked her. She combines 

 some excellent blood, and is a rare bitch to breed from, being 

 by the champion Drake and Wimble Ninepenee. She goes 

 very much like her father, and seems to have a be:ter nose 

 than her mother. In this bitch Mr. Price has some return 

 for his first outlay in purchasing Drake. 



Of the puppies not winners, I may say Keswick is far away 

 the best, indeed, I like her next, if not equal to Puss and 

 Tick, and she is by the celebrated prize winner Faust. Mr. 

 Ark wright's Tinkle is a sweet -looking bitch, but rather de- 

 ficient in pace, and this applies to most of Bang's get ; it is 

 quite remarkable how this dog stamps his descendants with 

 his fine form, but their failing, is general want of pace. No 

 one can wish to see a more stylish bitch than Bow Bells. 

 She goes in beautiful form, and is very grand on point, but 

 her lack of pace will always be her great drawback. She is a 

 fine specimen of a pointer, and does Mr. S. Price's Bang the 

 utmost credit. 



Bad Bubath in Dogs.— A correspondent writes for a rem- 

 edy for offensive breath with dogs, and desires to know also 

 how the same can be prevented, remarking that all the dogs 

 in his kennel have such offensive breaths that it is almost im- 

 possible to go near them. There are two prevalent causes of 

 had breath in dogs. First, defective teeth, caused by feed- 

 ing hot or improper food, or allowing the dog to have access 

 to i he swill tub, the sourness or fermentation of which is 

 almost sure to produce tartar. The result of defective teeth 

 is to cause diseases of the mouth and digestive organs. Teeth 

 regularly decayed should be extracted. When there is a 

 thick coating of tartar they should be scaled or the accuma- 

 tion if very hard removed with a dentist's file, after which 



they should be brushed with soap and water or a little tinc- 

 ture of myrrh. Should the gums have become swollen and 

 sore, the following gargle will be found benefical: Alumn, 

 10 grains; tinct. myrrh, idram; acetic acid, J dram ; wa'er, 

 6 ounces. A little to be used twice a day. A constant sup- 

 ply of large bones and care in not feeding warm messes will 

 generally preserve the teeth. 



Another cause of offensive breath is the presence of intes- 

 tinal worms, the presence of which can be detected by other 

 symptoms, and proper steps taken for their expulsion. And 

 here we might mention that we believe freshly ground areca 

 nut to be by far the best agent in this difficulty, for anything 

 but very young puppies. For the latter santonine in one or 

 two grain doses is probably the best. The frequent cause of 

 failure in the use of either of these remedies is the fact that 

 they are not given when the dog is fasting. He should be 

 starved at least twelve hours before they are administered, 

 and the aperient which follows should be sufficiently power- 

 ful. 



Fine Pointer Puppies.— The Westminster Kennel Club's 

 imported lemon and white pointer bitch Pallas, by General 

 Prim out of Queen, whelped last week seven puppies, sired 

 by Sensation. The W. K. C. now has on hand quite a large 

 number of puppies, one the get of Sensation, including five 

 black and white and one lemon and white out of Whiskey, 

 four liver and whites out of Gertie, and three liver and whites 

 out of Daisy I., all of which they are offering at very low 

 prices. The Secretary of the Club is Mr. R. C. Cornell, who 

 has succeeded Dr. W. S. Webb, and his address is 206 Broad- 

 way, this city.

year, and we imagine it will not be long before this style of 

 holding matches will displace the family plan, the natural 

 outcome of yacht-racing in the infancy of the sport when 

 localism still runs high. In other words, sailing races are 

 gradually being lifted from a mere show in Bungtown to 

 events which interest and affect in their importance whole 

 sections of the coast line. The tendency is in the right di- 

 rection, and the Boston Y. C. is to be congratulated upon 

 being the first among the larger clubs to follow the excellent 

 example set by the Seawanhaka Y. C. of New York. When 

 mere club regattas will be regarded as purely local affairs, 

 more or less " off color," yachting will have entered upon a 

 period of its existence far more in consonance with its best 

 interests than at present. 



The Boston Y. C. Union Regatta, sailed June 21, was 

 managed by a committee which knew its business, and the 

 prizes were the finest offered in that neighborhood. 



First class, for sloops and schooners of 38 feet and upward ; 

 second, for centreboard and Keel sloops, and schooners 26 

 feet and upward to 38 feet ; third, for centreboard and keel 

 yachts measuring 26 feet and under 26 feet ; and fourth, for 

 centreboard and keels measuring 16 and less than 20 feet. 



Prizes Offered : First class— schooners, first a solid silver 

 cup, and second a Richie's compass ; sloops, first a solid 

 silver cup, second a telescope. Second Class— For centre- 

 board and keel sloops and schooners : first solid silver cup, 

 and second cabin lamp— in all six prizes. Third Glass— silver 

 cup to first, pitcher and goblets to second, and silver vase 

 and phosphorescent clock to the third— in all eight prizes. 

 Fourth Class— Traveling clock to first, barometer to second, 

 silver cigar cup to third, and boatswain's whistle to fourth! 

 Courses i First class 23 miles, second 16 miles, and third and 

 fourth 9 miles. No sharpies or catamarans allowed • each 

 yacht to carry a number furnished by the club. No restric- 

 tions on sails, but each yacht to carry a member of the club 

 to which she belongs, and courses to be sailed over inside of 

 six hours. Measurement on water line and one-third of the 

 overhang. Regatta Committee, Messrs. Thomas Dean, Chair- 

 man; J. A. Mitchell, George S. Rice, S. Lawrence French* 

 and Frank A. Drew, Secretary. 



The second gun from the committee steamer Sprite sent 

 away the big schooners and sloops with a light wind from 

 S.W., which increased to a brisk one as the day wore on 

 The start was from a line between two flag-boats moored bel 

 tween the committee's boat and Thompson's Island *ldrf 

 enne, the new schooner by Lawloy & Son, got the best of the* 

 start, with Mr. Little's Brenda close in her wake. This 

 schooner has had her spars cut down to reasonable propor- 

 tions, and we are informed she does much better in coiise 

 quence. As it was, in the light wind which blew during the" 

 first half of the race, the Brtnda did remarkably well alone 

 side of the smaller craft. In the words of our correspondent 

 " Brenda performed very well indeed, but only took second 

 prize, on account of a very fight wind two-thirds of the time 

 and the Adrienne being a light weather boat, receiving from 

 Brenda some 25m. time, it was impossible to reel it all off 

 over such a short course (23 miles). As she gained 0m in 

 two miles and a half after it commenced to blow, it is plain 

 who would have won in a breeze or over longer water " 



In getting clear, Nautilus fouled her ground tackle and 

 could not slip away in time, but started, with the rest far 

 ahead, off Spectacle Island. After rounding the Wnigtlina 

 Buoy outside, the wind fell flat, and all hands were left in 

 the doldrums. When finally the breeze picked up there 

 turned out to be plenty of it, and moreover the lee vessels 

 suddenly came out plump to windward, and all former calcu 

 lationa went for naught. Thistle, after rounding the Hard 

 ings, carried away topmast backstay, and for want of spare 

 gear or good seamanship, ran home under jib and mainsail 

 only. Elfin snapped her topmast off short, and brought the 

 wreck aloft home with her instead of clearing away. Vikinq 

 one of Lawlor's peculiar models, got a bad start, but picked 

 up in her class, and landed a first for her plucky skipper Mr 

 W. H Gorman. Among the smaller yachts, Eugenia 'owe 

 up after parting some gear, and Muriel turned turtle while 

 jibing around Sculpin Ledge Buoy. Tkisbe did well all day 

 and Pmy lost her chances by generously going to the rescue 

 of MurteVa drenched crew. The racing finished as under.

BOSTON YACHT CLUB. 



First Annual Union Regatta, June 21. 



WE are progressing. The family system of yachting, 

 which confines the prizes of clubs to the small num- 

 ber of yachts comprising individual clubs, seems gradually 

 to be giving way to the more liberal and stronger programme, 

 in which all recognized yachts are allowed to enter for prizes 

 of large value offered free to all who choose to go to the ex- 

 pense in time and money necessary to bring their racers to 

 the line with fighting colors at the peak. So-called " union 

 regattas," more properly and euphoniously denominated 

 "open matches, ' ' arc becoming more and more popular every
