One of the most characterisl iC points of this Bourbomiais 

 dog, which makes him so valuable, not only to the sportsmen 

 of the locality . but to many other parts of France, is that he is 



-1 - . 1 1 au-.-.-il to any sort of service which may be required of 

 him, bearing -without the least inconvenience the excessive 

 heat of the open plain without losing the keenness of his 

 scent, which is often so fatal to dogs in excessive dry weather. 

 These taiUess dogs have, at eight months old. been tri mod to 

 hunt, stand and retrieve like an old dog. In winter he never 

 hesitates to take to the water, however severe the weather. 

 On the sea coast the v have gone out a distance of lad yards

 but will drive in the midst of all these obstructions should the 

 scent come in that direction. 



The tailless braque of the Bourbonnais is on the decline OS a 

 thoroughbred. They have been too much crossed of late. 

 The original type is. not easily met with. Their points are a 

 thick-set head, large nose, with nostrils well developed, a 

 tln.-l -,-,1 ..[.-tail, very short, and with a lock of hair banging 



to its extremity ; I w tug the appearance of its having been 

 broken off at the birth of the dog. All the young are bom

THE NATIONAL FIELD TRIALS.— Editor Fora$l unit 

 Stream: From present indications 1 think: there will be 

 more starters in the trials at Grand Junction this year than 

 we have over had before. Birds are more plentiful i 

 of. our State than they have been for ten years, and a' Grand 

 Jnnci ion there will be three times as manv as at our former 

 trials. The cover there is not as heavy as it was last year, 

 which will enable the spectators to see all I he work done by 

 the dogs.-D. Brvmin. Secrelsarj 8, .\. K. C. 



THE LOUISVILLE DQG SHOW.— Tlfe have received a 

 telegram stating that the number Of entries for the Louisville 

 bench show is already large and that apnlicat ions for blanks 

 are pouring in from ail parts of the States and Canada. The 

 show promises to be much larger than was expeepd .md 

 without doubt will be a notable gathering of dogs and their 

 friends. The exhibit of pointers and En pmtt settess should be 

 something very fine.
