THE CENTENNIAL BENCH SHOW. 



We are informed that the . list which we publish here- 

 with is only a portion of the prizes awarded at Philadelphia, 

 hut that it is all that will be given to the public until the 

 general distribution is made. We can now conceive no 

 cause for complaint against the judges as everybody ap- 

 pears to have received a prize. To be sure, as a competi. 

 tion the show may be called a farce, and ill-nalured people 

 will say that in trying to please everybody they have 

 pleased nobody. Centennial medals and diplomas will 

 now be as thick as blackberries and it will be a wretchedly 

 poor kennel that will not include one "fir^t prize winner." 

 The information comes to us entirely unclassified, and, in 

 most cases, without the name of the dog. We have en- 

 deavored to supply this when practicable, but the catalogue 

 was so incompleie that it is impossible to do it thoroughly. 

 Mr. Whitman's Ranger, we observe, was judged and classed 

 as a native Irish setter, instead of imported:—

— Mr. Chas. F. Bancroft, of Baltimore, writes us that he 

 has had the misfortune to lose by the distemper, his pair 

 of young red Irish setters, Guy and Bess, imported from 

 the kennel of Mr. John M. Niall, Killaloe, Ireland. Mr. 

 Niall, learning of his loss, has kindly offered to let Mr. 

 Bancroft have on very reasonable terms (in consideration 

 of his loss) his grand young red Irish bitch Lilly, 14 months 

 old, over the distemper, and nicely trained. She will visit 

 Maj. Kichardson's champion dog Dick before being ship- 

 ped. She is by Capt. Leigh's Flash, out of his Luna; Lu- 

 na by Marvel out of Brosna; and Marvel by Piunket out 



of Min, etc.

The Memphis Field Trials. — We would call attention 

 to the fact that the entries for the various stakes to be run 

 for at the Memphis Field Trials on November 13th and 

 14th close on the 1st proximo. The purses are valuable, 

 birds are abundant, and, in addition to the money prizes, 

 ihe reputation of the winning dogs will be greatly en- 

 hanced. The judges are Messrs. J. H. Whitman, of Chi- 

 cago; Edmund Orgill, of New York, and Col. James Gordon 

 ("Pious Jeemes"), of Mississippi. 



-*♦♦■ 



— Mr. Fred. W. Jones, of Brooklyn, has received from 

 Mr. S. J. Bestor, of Hartford, Conn., one of his fine cock- 

 er spaniel gyps, sired by imported Snip, out of Mr. Bestor's 

 imported Juliette. She is finely marked, liver and white, 

 aud altogether, for her age, as promising a pup as could be 



wished.

Fleas! Fleas!— Si eadman's infallible flea powder, ad- 

 vertised by Messrs. Holberton & Beemer, in another col- 

 umn, is sure death to these insects. We have tried it with 

 unfailing success. 



A Dog who was Ashamkd of Himself. — A retriever 

 dog, whose owner was working in the garden of the Bath 

 Institution, lately killed a favorite cat, a frequenter of the 

 same grounds. Having committed this unprovoked mur- 

 der, the dog deliberately took the cat in his mouth, carried 

 it some distance, dug a deep hole behind some bushes, and 

 after depositing the cat therein, carefully replaced the 

 earth, and had he not been observed there would have 

 been no evidence of the crime. It is a pity to spoil this 

 story, but retrievers are in the habit of burying their food 

 to "season" it, and this act may have been merely habitual. 

 — London Fancier's Gazette. 



How many natural instincts with which our dumb ani- 

 mals are endow* d are attributed to reasoning faculties, in 

 comparison with which mere worldly wisdom and common 

 sense are "nowhere?" 



Muzzling Dogs.— The Parisian authorities, believing 



that the muzzling of dogs, especially during hot weather, 



is one of the surest means of inducing hydrophobia, have 



abandoned the practice.

Remarkable case of Heredity. — A correspondent of 

 the London Field sends the following remarkable case of 

 inherited ulcer in a dog: — 



"A fine old black and tan setter of mine, for two or three 

 years before bis death, suffered from an apparently incura- 

 ble ulcer upon the cartilage ot his nose, externally. It did 

 not interfere with his power of smell, but gradually 

 got, worse, a short time before his death appearing to affect 

 the nasal bones, bleeding at times profusely, and discharg- 

 ing fetid pus. I tried all the remedies I could think of, 

 aud at last supposed it to be one of those diseases of old 

 age which cannot be dealt with when vitality is becoming 

 sluggish. To replace him, I kept a brace of bitch pups, of 

 which he was the father, out of a healthy bitch. One of 

 them is turning out in all respects as clever as her sire; but, 

 though only 18 monts old, the same ulcer on the nose has 

 appeared upon her, but not upon her sister, who by no 

 means so strongly resembles the old dog. She haw, how- 

 ever, thrown to a sound healthy dog a litter of fine whelps; 

 but, strange to say, on the best of them there seem symp- 

 toms of the same ulcer. It would appear therefore as 

 though this disease were hereditary. It is not in any way 

 contagious, none of my other dogs being in any way af- 

 fected. Can any of your readers give me any informa- 

 tion as to its nature or probable cure? In all other respects 

 the dogs are in perfect health. — Q. C.

ONE HOUR AND A HALF IN THE 

 STRATHROY KENNELS. 



Owen Sound, Sept. 25th. 

 Sditok Forest and Stub am:— 



Having been away for a short time of holidavs in the middle of Sep- 

 tember trying to fiud a little shooting, I retdrned, after the hrst week, 

 from Point Pele on Lake Erie, almost disgdsted with myself for having 

 gone bo early, and bo wasted a roll week which codld have been well 

 spent later in ihe fall, at the same place, amongst the ducks and wood- 

 cock, which are there ia great numbers next month. Making the best of 

 it, I came to London and spent another week in a very pleaeant way 

 among my sporting friends of ihat place, going out every cay and getting 

 a few cock, and some ruxfed grouse. Ftndii.g my time almost up, I had 

 yet one great desire to satisfy before I left for home, viz: to go and sue 

 the far famed Strathroy kenned of blue blood setters, own d by Jlr. L. 

 H. Smi h. Accordingly I got my friend Mr. Blake, United States Con- 

 sul at London, lo accompany me, to Siratbroy, distant from London 

 some i5miies, Reaching Strathroy, Mr. Smith took us to hie place, a 

 short oiftance from the town, and hrst showed us the line cups won by 

 Paris, Leicester, Dart, and others of his kennel. The Centennial prizes 

 won by Paris and Petrel, had not arrived jet. From there we were 

 shown to the kennels. The first sight greeting ue, was the beautiful lit- 

 ter of pups by Dan (Mr. LleweHifs) out of Petrel; there are eight, all 

 of which are disposed of. .Next was a kennel containing five very fine 

 pups between three and four months old, two being by Pans out of 

 Ruth, the remainder, I think, by Leicester, out of Dart. Next we had 

 ihe pleasure of seeing that perfection of dog flesh, Petrel, lately imported 

 br Mr. Smiih from the kennel of Mr. Llewellen, Petrel being the first 

 prize biich at the last Birmingham show. Petrel is a perfect beamy, a 

 pure Laverack, and Mr. Smith may well be pround of her. Among the 

 otnere, we saw that fine old oiich Dart, also very handsome, and several 

 more just as fine aud beautiful. When Mr. Smith at last locks the door 

 leading into the kennel containing the bitches, unlocks the nest door 

 and calls out "Paris,' 1 the visitor will stand amazed (providing he knows 

 what a dog is; if he dos'nt, let him stay at home), he will feel inclined to 

 say "I have never seen a true setter in my life until i ow." It is u^ less 

 my describing Paris. Most true American sportsmen have either seen 

 him at Memphis, Chicago, or Detroit, <^r have heard of him through the 

 columns of Fokest aho Stbuam, devoted to the kennel. All I can say to 

 those who have not seen or heard of him, is, go and see him, it is worth 

 your while. We saw as well, the famous. Leicester, the Bire of Paris, 

 Llewellin, also a dog of fine qualities, and several others, after which we 

 had a run to -get the train, and decided it was the best afternoon we had 

 spent for many a long day, and it will repay ihe lover of good dogo well 

 to go 50j miles to see that kennel. I migh t write and describe the dogs 

 I saw, givina points and particulars all day, but I am afraid I have taken 

 up too much space as it is, by giving this mere outline or my visit, but so 

 much was I taken oy what I -aw, and the beautiful training Mr. rmiih 

 had given his dogs that I can't refrain from telling to brother sports- 

 men, what a delightful hour and a half I spent in the Strathroy kennels, 



F. G. Simpson.

TO RUN AT MEMPHIS. 



Hillsdale Michigan, Sept. 23. 

 Editor Forest and Stream:— 



As I hear that certain parties are circulating the report that my dogs 

 will not be run at Memphis, I wi*h to state emphatically that I shall 

 run Rob Koy, Rufas and Queen Mab, myself, and ihat Geo. Campbell 

 will run Friend for me. 1 hope this announcement will pm an end to 

 the statements that emanate either from ignorance or a malicious desire 

 to misrepresent me. Arnold Burges.

At Philadelphia Sept. 20th Mr. Louis C. McClay's setter birch Judy 

 whelped ten puppies, two dogs and eight gyps, by Twaddeli's Dan. Most 

 of them marked like their sire. 



The Dory Hero. — The Cape Ann Advertiser says that 

 Capt. Johnsen, the daring sailor who recently made the 

 voyage across the Atlantic in a dory, is now at Liverpool, 

 where the adventurer and his little craft are the lions of 

 the day. The exhibition fee is sixpence, and the room is 

 thronged day and evening by those who wish to see. JY.hn- 

 sen is now in good health, having fully recovered fr@m the 

 fatigues of the voyage. He stated that he would not at- 

 tempt the feat again and pass through what he did on that 

 trip across the Atlantic for a million of dollars. 



William Tell in Hornellsville.— J. Otis Fellows, 

 the popular one-armed gun and locksmith, shot some dozen 

 apples in succession across the 3treet from hU shop, and 

 then, to make the thing more binding, his brother Burley 

 held up a five cent nickel between his thumb and finger, 

 and this, too, was picked out by a ball from the unerring 

 rifle of Mr. Fellows. Persons who think there is no sci- 

 ence in this have only to hold up some small object and 

 let some one else shoot at it a few times. — Valley Times. 



—The American Arms Company, of Boston, Mass. , are 

 now manufacturing the celtbrated "Fox" breech-loading 

 shot gun. The action of this gun is quite different from 

 any oiher in use. The barrels, when ready for loading, in- 

 stead of tipping up ylide to the right, obviaing any strain 

 on the hinge, and presenting no openings in which sand or 

 other foreign substances can find lodgment. They are 

 made from $55 upwards.
