a ten-foot dam. The actual ii.it h, however, traveled by the 

 Water and traversed by the list, ascending, would be some two 

 ortfcree times the leiuiih of the incline, so that fish passing up 

 an inclined plane lisiiway rising ten feet vertically, would 

 necessarily travel a distance forty to lift v times the height of 

 t he flam. Kor example, in the Bshway over tin- Hadlev Falls 

 dam on I ho Connecticut Itiver, the total length of the incline 

 is abOUl 150 feet. The. distance K. lie (raveled by tho fish

 of aboul Street. 



All the different designs of tishwavs constructed according 

 to the incline plane system* have when judiciously located 

 proved more or less successful in passiug certain species of 

 tisn. In all. however, the labyrinthine route to be traversed 

 and the insignificant flow of water through them, constitute 

 very serious objections.

NEW ORLEANS BENCH SHOW. 

 \" BW ORLEANS, Dec. 21.— The Bench Bhow opened here. 

 _LM on Tuesday, the loth inst., and as a dog show, is a de- 

 cided success. The English setter and pointer classes are 



tests a number are pi .-sent, and Oath, Sue. Loudon, Foreman, 

 Rue in. ' :reatl\ a.linired for theii -,,,,,1 looks as 



well as for their record rc the field. From a financial stand- 

 point, however, the. enterprise is a failure. .Although there are 

 many lovers of good dogs, in New Orleans, t he majority of the 

 people seotn hardly to understand the meaning of a bench show, 

 and therefore the attendance is by no means what it should 

 be. considering the character of the dogs exhibited and the 

 arrangements of the show. 



The pointers and set-tors were judged by Major , J. M. Tnvlor. 

 of Lexington. Kentucky, and the other classes by Mr. .lames 

 Mortimer, of New York eity. 



In the mastiff class. Ihe first prize was withheld, there being 

 no floor shown which the judge deemed worthy the place. Mr. 

 Wade's EurOpa, Which look second, was shown too low in 

 flesh. Turk 1L. belonging to Mr. I!. Windsor Smith, of 

 Atlanta. Georgia, is a very large dog. but is weak in loin and 

 hindquarters. " Mr. Wade's Bertha got. an he., but has obvious 

 faults. 



Iu Newfoundlands only two were shown, and no prize was 

 given. Ml'. Douglas's Carlo is too small and has a curly coat, 

 while Ben is only a big mongrel. 



Two greyhounds were show ,,. i he ii,-st. prize dog, T'rinec of 

 Denver, brine a very raring-like il"- with good legs, feet, back 

 and loins. He will compare favorably with almost any grey- 

 houud we have seen in this country. Lady, second priz'-.'is 

 rather straight in the shoulder and ' has a bad ear. but is on 

 the whole a good bitch. 



In champion English setters, Mr. C. F. Crawford's Fore- 

 man easily boat Mr. Condon's France. English setter dogs 

 made up a good class; Coleman's London was looking very- 

 well and so was Oath, who is a smaller dog but full of 

 quality. The. hitches were also very good. Nellie B. we liked 

 quite as well as the winner, and think that tin; positions might 

 have, been reversed without doing nu\ injustice. 



Tie-showing of English setter puppies was good. "We con- 

 sider Mr. Btlford's Duke of Gladstone— Grace Darliug puppy, 

 who only received vhc, somewhat better than the first prize 

 winner. 



In Gordons Mr. Ardary's Jess had a walk-over m the 

 champion class. In the do;.' class Mr. Ware's Mar, who took 

 second, should certainly have had first, if the class was judged 

 according to the old style flordou type. No prize was given 

 in the bitch olasa. The single puppy shown took a first. 



In champion Irish setters there was a single entry in each 

 class and each received a prize. In the open dog class, second 

 was withheld, first going to a dog of Mr. McKintosh's breeding. 



iu champion pointers, Mr. Thayer's Rue easily took first. 

 Old iSov was exhibited by his owner, but withdrawn from 

 competition. In the open classes there were a number of good 

 animals. We found ourselves wholly unable to agree with 

 the judge in some of his decisions in the puppy class. There 

 weie several better puppies present than the thrce-m.mths-old 

 s.-ron 1 prize winner; mr example, Hang. Ponto and Modoc. 



Iu field spaniels I here was but one entry, and the prize was 

 withheld. TWO COCbers were shown, both fairly good ones, 

 bin i he. winner »•;.- I he better iu head, coat and bone. 



(hill..- a lot of o od foxhounds were shown. Flambeau, the 

 winner in dogs, is a capita) hound, except that he is a little 

 short of bone. In bitches Lady Van Burnt was a long way 

 ahead of the others, she is a good bitch of the correct type, 

 though aa she was suckling a litter of puppies she did not show 

 at htr best. 



In the beagle dog and bitch classes Mr. Wheeler's Rattler 

 and Music stood alone and each secured first. The dog was 

 looking vci» wcil. lie has good chest, back and loin and is 

 good in head with plenty of bone and ear. Music was not up 

 to her usual form, but she is a very good one. 



Mr. Richard Gibson showed the only entries in champion 

 fox-terriers. Belvoir Jim has good leg.-, feet and shoulders, 

 but stands somewhat high on his legs and is a little thick iu 

 skulL Thistle is a nice little bitch, but is a trifle undershot. 

 Greek, the winner in the open dog class, is a very good dog, a 

 little small perhaps but with lots of bone and good coat, feet 

 and legs. Grip, who took second, is a nicely marked dog with 

 a good coat, buthe is suipy, has open feet and a large ear, 

 Jack, who received vhc, has a good head and ear, but a wide 

 chest, is thin in coat and light m bone. In bitches Lyra was 

 first. She is a very good bitch with good legs and feet, a 

 working jacket and a good terrier expression. She is a little 

 weak in iaw, and rather small. 



In collies, the winner. Scott, is only a fair dog. His skull is 

 thick and ear badly carried. If Babe had not been Clipped 

 and blind in one eye, he would have taken first instead of 

 second. 



In bull-lii Tin>. Voting Bill was looking remarkably well, and 

 won with ease. Spring, second, was very badly shown. 



Of the Mack and tans, Bessy was the best, a very good one, 

 but uot looking so well a, at 'London. Topsv shows age and 

 hard work. Tit-Pas should have been iu the toy class. 



Two Bedlington terriers were, shov/n. Blueher is a verv good 

 dog of ihe correct type. Pilot '.109), by a mistake, was entered 

 among bull-1 irrj -r- 



In hard-haired Scotch terriers. Mr Fan-el's Jack, a fairly 

 good terrier with a coat a little bit soft, look first. Garry- 

 Owen was the oijly entry in Irish terriers. When ihisdogwas 

 lii -I shown he. had a black nose, which hassincebei-onie white. 

 Xo prize wasgiven, therefore. 



In champion pugs. Judy III. was the only entry. She has a 

 very good bead, but is without trace and carries a very large 

 ■ ■ti. in the open dog class. Bogie, thfl only entry, is a mod- 

 eiaic -oe.h, i, n. Me is' too plain in face, has" a bad mask and 

 badly carried ear. 



Toy terriers were a very good class and quite up to the aver- 

 age of our best bench shows, 



In the miscellaneous class, all received honorable mention. 



A word should be said about the catalogue, which so abounds 



in mistakes as to be worse than useless. The proofs were not 



read and the entries were, made with the greatest carelessness.

THE BIRM INGHAM DOG SHOW.

 _L twenty-fourth annual exhibition in Curs,, n Hall, Birming- 

 ham, on Slonday the 3d to lith, the dogs being Judged in 

 private on Saturday, the 1st of December. The entries, 

 amounting to ssn this year, being the smallest entry for years, 

 but as no dog can be entered to two classes, and then
