THE WITHDRAWAL OF JIAIDEN.-Elmwood, N. C. 

 He, jii.— Editor Foie.il and Stream. Will you do me the jus- 

 tie-e to State in the next issue of your .journal that I drew my 

 setter bitch Maiden, in the E. P. T. C. Derby, as soon as San 

 Roy was awarded the heal over her; and that the secretary 

 of said club was officially notified of the fact, also the report-

THE BOSTON" FANCY DOG SHOW. -We have, received 

 a number of communications from Eoston and vicinity in re- 

 lation to the boston Fancy Dog Show which was heidin Bos- 

 ton last mouth. The letter of "Jalnia" in our issue of Nov. 89, 



gives one side i- i -u. while upon the other it is claimed 



that the adwri- r r - a - t I he show was carried out 



in good faith. The trouble app-ava Co be that those who hud 

 fault with the management expected that, the show would be 

 conducted in the same manner that has been observed at OUT 

 regular shows. It must be born* in mind however, that the 

 exhibition was a purely ^peeulativo one, and as it appears to 

 have been fairly well conducted, we fail to see that those, who 

 entered their dogs have just cause for complaint.

OBO III.— The steamship Greece, which arrived in Kow 

 York recently after a tempestuous voyage, brought over Mr. 

 Co. W. Leavitts recently purchased spaniel pup Obo III., by 



Farrow's Obo. The pup", now six months old, had, like the 

 vessel experienced a r> y rough time of it and thel 

 said he at ore- time feared it would not pull through. As a 

 consequence Obo HI. was in no condition to criticise. We can 

 say this, however, that he is a nice size, and will be well under 

 the standard weight. He has good loin and plenty of coat 

 and so far as we could form an opinion, we think he will turn 

 out a valuable acquisition to the breed of cockers, and well 

 worth the large price ill'. Leavitt gave for him.
