FOREST AND STREAM. 



[Septeivibfr 9, 1880, 



tbe fij-st section. 



SAgmv, in Bnslislie Hiinde, is deriued of our English 

 Imnt.e. One Icttor chaunged in another, namely T, 

 into U, as 1111111. Hunde, whom (if you ooriiocture to be 

 so name^l of your country worde IJiliule u-hieli siguifieth 

 the generall namo Dogge, beoausc ul' Mic isimilitiult- and 

 likenesse of the wordes I will not b;(aud in cimtradii-tioii 

 (friend Genner) for so muche as wn ivtuinr- among vs to 

 this day many Diilolie wordea wliii/li (hr- .S,;,ro»s ' left at 

 BXich tiiue as they ocoupyed llii.< cuiinlry of Britaiie. 

 This much also vnderstand, that as in ymir lani;ua;ze 

 ITttnciC is the common word, so in our uaturall touiige 

 dog^e is the vuhiorsall, but lliuide is iiortlcular and a 

 speciall, for it siKoifi'^tb sucli a dojfjje onely as seruelh to 

 hunt, and therefore it is called a bnnde. 



Of theGasehound. 

 Tlie Gasehoxmde called in latinc Agasmiia, hath his 

 name of the sharpnesse and stedfastiiesse of his eyesight. 

 Br wliirli veriiic be compassetb that wbich otherwise 

 he cann. >{. bv sniellina; attaine. As we liaiie made former 

 relation fur to gase is earnestly to viewe and bebolde, 

 from whence floweth the deriuation of this dogges name. 



Of the Grehounde. 



The Grehonnde called LeporariuH. batb bis name of 

 this word, Gro, which word sonn.l: 1 li (,! . f,/.. in ialiui', 

 in En gli- be degree. Because anii n 1 ■ ; ^ iliesi' are 

 the must princip.alb occupyingtlu: 1 im. , 1 |.!,i ■<■, and be- 

 ing simply and aljaoiut«ly the best of the gentle kinde ol' 

 hotmdes. ' 



Of the Leuyuer or the Lyemuier. 



This doffge is called a Leuyner. for bis lightr.esse, wbicli 

 inlatinesDundfth Leniltis. Or a l-veinnier wliicb worde 

 is borrowed ol' I^yemme wbirli tin- latini.sis nanir Loniiii : 

 and wlierefore we call liim a Leuyner of this worde Le- 

 idtan (as we doe many Ibing.s I)e5ides) wliv we deriue and 

 drawn a thousand of our tearmes out of "tlu=. Orcfkr. the 

 Latine. tbe Itctlinn. tbe DiUch. t\\e French, and tlie Span- 

 is7i,e tounge : (Out of which lonnlaines indeede. they bad 

 their originall issue.) Hnw many words are buryed in 

 the grave of forgetfulness r growne out of vse ? wrested 

 awryeand peruersly corrupted by diners defaultes ? we 

 wil declare at large in our booke intituled, Simphonia 

 V0CU7)i Britannicarum. 



Of the Tumbler. 



Among houndos the Tumbler called in latine Vertagtts, 

 is the last, which coiumeth of tliis worde Tumbler flow- 

 ing first of at out of the French fountaine. For as we 

 say Tumble so tbej' Tuntbier, reseruiiig one sense and 

 signitication, wbicli' tbe latiuists couiprebende vnder this 

 worde rfi^.^)'c, So that we see thus mucli, tliat. Tumbler 

 commetb of TtiiiiOier, the vowel, I, cbaungiil into llie 

 Liquid L, after ye mauer of our speacbe, ( 'unirary to 

 the Frencb and the Italian tounge, In wbicli two lan- 

 guages, A Liquid before a Voivell for tbe most part is 

 turned into another Voivell, As, may be perceaued in tbe 

 example of these two wordes, Implure &: piano, for Im- 

 piere & piano, L, before, E, chatmged into, I, and L, be- 

 fore A, turned into I, also. This I thought tfunuenient 

 for a taste. 



The aames of such Dogges as be contained in 

 the second Section. 



AFter such as sei-ue for hunting orderly doe follow 

 sncb as serue for hawking and fowling. Among 

 which tbe priuei pall and cbiefest is the .Spauiell, called 

 in Latine Jllspuniolus, borrowing his name of BisiJiiiiia 

 Spaiue, wherein wee Englishe men not pronouncing tbe 

 Aspiration H, Nor the Vowell I, for quicknesse and redi 

 nesse of speach say roundly A Spaniell. 



Of the Setter. 



The second sorte of this second dnision and second 

 section, is called a Setter, in latino fiidac. Of the worde 

 Set which signifteth in Englishe that which the Latin- 

 istes raeane by this word Locum designare, ye reason is 

 rehersed before more largely, it shall not neede to make a 

 new repetition. 



Of the water .SpanieU or Finder. 



The water Spaniell consequently foUoweih, called in 

 Latine Aquaticus,, in English a water spaniell. which 

 name is oompoundeof two simple wordes, namely Water, 

 which in Latine soudeth Aqua, wberein be swymmetb. 

 And Spume Hispunia, the country fro wbi'iice tliey 

 came, Not that England wanted such kinde of Do.gges, 

 (for they are naturally bred and ingendred in this coun- 

 try.) But because ihey beare the generall and common 

 name of these Dogges synce the time they were first 

 brought ouer out of Spaine. And wee make a certaine 

 difference in this sort of Dogges, eyther for some thing 

 which in theyr voyce is to be marked, or for something 

 which in their qualities is to be considered, as fur an ex- 

 ample in this kinde called tbe SpanieU by tlie apposition 

 and putting to of this word water, which two coupled to- 

 gether sounde waterspaniell. He is also oalle^l a fynder, 

 in Latine Inquisitor, because that by serious and secure 

 seeking, he tindeth such things as be lost, which word 

 Finde in Englishe is that which tbe Latines meane by 

 this Verbe Inuenire This dogge hath ibis name of his 

 property because the prlncipall point of his seruice con- 

 BJsteth in the premisses. ^^.^ 



The names of such Dogges as be contained in 

 the thirde Section. 



NOw leaning the seruie we of hunting and hauking 

 dogs, it remaineth that we runne ouer the resi- 

 due, whereof some be ctiUed, fine dogs, some course, other 

 some mungrels or rascalls. Tbe lirst is the Spaniell gen- 

 tle called Vanis Melit'(Vis, because it is a kinde of dogge 

 accepted among gentles, Nobles, Lordes, Ladies, &c., 

 who make much of them vouebsafeing to admit them so 

 farre into their company, that they will not onely lull 

 them in theyr lappes, but kysse them with their lippes, 

 and make llieni theyr prettie playfellowe.s. Such a one 

 was Oorgims litle piippie mencioned liy Theocritus Sira- 

 cusis, who taking his iourney, slra.ighlly cliarged and 

 commaunded bis mayde to see to liis IJeigge as cba.rely 

 and warely as to his childe : To call him in aluayes that 

 he wandred not abroade, as well as lo rock the babe a 

 sleepe, crying in the cradle. This puppitly and anil peas- 

 antly ouri-e, (which some frumpingly tearme fystoing 

 hounds) serue in a maner to no good vso except, (As we 

 haue made former relation) to succour and strengthen 

 quailing and quamming stomackes. 



The names of such dogges as be contained in 

 the fourth Section. 



OF dogges vnder the courser kinde, we will deale flrat 

 with the shepherds dogge, whom we call tbe Ban- 

 dogge, the Tydogge, or tlie Mastyue, the lirst name is 

 imputed to bim for service (Jnotiimn postori fuinuhiliu:

Bob Notes prom MiN?n5S0TA.— /«. Camp nea^ Fair- 

 mont, Martin Connti/. AHnn., Avg.'Hst. — I have been 

 here a week now, anil with Whitforf, who is encamfied 

 at this place. He is training the St. Louis Kennel Club 

 dogs. He has Lena, Trap, Vildng, Trhiket and Keswick 

 at work on chickeus. Keswick is a wonderful animal : 

 she goes like the wind, but her gait is so smooth and 

 even that running seems to cost her no exeitiou. She 

 has a remarkable nose, and is as stanch as any dog 

 you ever .saw. Now that sbi> is w,irk-ed down to good 

 running condition, you can see her anatomy, every cord 

 and muscle, as well as if she were skinned. I never saw 

 such a display of muscle on a dog. Viltiug a,ud Trap are 

 doing splendid work and will be hard to beat at the field 

 (rials. 



Mr. Lucas is ln're with liia brace of Irish setters, Erin 

 and Biddy. I have noticed that doggy men have been 

 givmg Irish setters tbe g.i by, lately, but if theie are any 

 other dogs that can equal this braJe, 1 slionld like to sc'e 

 them, r have shot over them for four days, and they 

 are faultless in their work. Terhaps some would not like 

 their ipaiel w:iv of working, and would prefer the slash 

 and dash of a "big pointer or an English setter. I admit 

 that these dogs are not showy, but they Rnd as many 

 birds as any ; point, Ijack, drop to wing and shot, and re- 

 trieve witlioiit over doing « rong. For several days they 

 have done tbe work for three guns, and never lost a dead 

 bird. Part of the time four" guns b,ave been shooting 

 over them, and got plenty of work. 



Dash III. is here and Countess May, in Wbitford's 

 charge. Dash is a slashing dog, but does not work as 

 well .as May. May shows splendid qualities, but needs a 

 great deal of work tosober her down. Ui: Sanlioru is at 

 l<'airmoiit with several puppies in training. Messrs. Orth 

 and Wilson, of Pittsbiu-g, are with him. The country is a 

 pleasant one to shoot over and birds are very abmidant. 

 I will -write'again in a few days. J. M. T. 



A Hint as to Anatcmt — Country Farm, Spottsylvania 

 County, Va.,Aug. 2^th.— Editor I'ore.'it and Stream:—! 

 have no disposition whatever to scratch open the Cathery 

 dog scratching subject, to which ample justice has been 

 done in Forest and Stream. Nevertheless, you had one 

 correspondent, a '-notary public," who wrote from 

 "Wauseon, Ohio," upon tfiis matter, to whom, with your 

 permission, I should be pleased to put a question or so. 

 Your correspondent says with regard to this dog scratch- 

 ing business, "I would suggest that tbe question woidd 

 be harder if amended to read : Did any one ever see a 

 dog scratch bis left fore shoulder with his right bind leg 

 while standin- up T Now, what I Nvisb to know is this, 

 is it always tlie way with well bred Ohio dogs (for it is of 

 thisclass only the notary writes) that they scratch them- 

 selvea with their legs, or do they not sometimes scratch 

 with their paws V In Virginia dogs' pa«'s are, so far as I 

 know to the contrary, ever armed with claws, and ( was 

 under the impression they were purposely given tbciu to 

 Hcratcb u'itb. 1 would like also to know if it is a fact 

 that Ohio deigs scratch their hind shoulders with their 

 legs or ijawN either lying or standing? Although Vir- 

 "iuia hai furnished voni great bench show, Mr. Editor, 

 with one of its judges for the last two years, I am satis- 

 fied w^e are much behind tlic times with regard to the 

 anatomy of both dogs and horses. It has only been a 

 few weeks since I observed in an editorial which ap- 



pea.red iu one of our great sporting papers the editor told 

 us of the foreshouldeVs of a horse. BntDSiioT. 



Confess, he hath thee here. 



A Retrievi5R's IxTEr^T.iGENfK:.— .Sf^. Laniard, P. Q. 

 Aug. {]fh.—A friend of mine, Mv. AV., own:s a very iutelli- 

 gi'nt retTiever bitch, A farmer near Ijv killed a "pig, ao'I 

 at night left the bead upon a siuni[. rie'a.r the house'. In 

 the morning tbe pig's liead bad disappeared. My frieci 

 and his dog coming by, the man mentioned to him hi' 

 loss. Mr. W., tummg to bis bitch, said : •'Fui,, have yen 

 stolen tbeiiig'sbe.ad? (Jo ri-ht :i.wny a,nd bring it back, 

 you bad dog." The bitch shmk away into tjf^ woo,ls, 

 and in a short time returue'l carrying" the missing |,..i-|c, 

 which she immediatf:ly ihopped before tlie farmer, then 

 turning bolted for bon'ie at her best speed, anil bid foi' 

 tbe remainder of the tlay. Ujnm another orcasion a 

 daughter of Mr. W. started one evening to visit a neigh- 

 bor at a little distance, carrying with her a lighted lan- 

 tern. Arrivii ig at the house she left tbe lantern outside in 

 the porch, Soon afterward the bitch started out to find 

 her young mistress, but I snpy.sc sb- fo,ind (irst thelan- 

 tern, and recognizing it as Iim, ,h - ■ , ,-, ^ ^h,. torik it no 

 carefully and l.roii-lit it Ih,-.- ,- 1 .• ,;, ,av,I the house 

 with if alight, Mr, W. iliivciv ■ t l-r- i h^r to '-take it to 

 Mary," and she th.en carried it back to the neighbor's 

 bouse, Bcratclied al the door until it was Opened, and 

 walked up to the young lady with the lantern still alight. 

 Now a hot lantern is not the most comfortable sort of 

 thing for a dog to carry.

 est motion of the band, Hejilock. 



A Dog Tanner.— Concurrently with the forty days' 

 fast of the misguided American doctor, another faKt has 

 been in progress in our riwn country, for the truth ol 

 which I myself can vouch, A friend of mine, who lives 

 in Devonshire, left home some weeks since on.a series of 

 visits to bis friends in ,li,,tant ]i,ii(s of the countrv, A few 

 days after be left, bis .ser\anls wrote liiin (hat a' favorite 

 skye terrier was missing. My friend, after every Bearch 

 bad proved fruitless, considered that the .log bad lieen 

 stolen. On his return borne, after an absence of one 

 month and five days, he unlockeil tbe lihniry, the doors 

 and windows of wbicli liad been bolted and" bari-ed dur- 

 ing his absence, and b_i his .astonishment the missing dog 

 crept out into the light, a living skeleton, and ttitally 

 tilinil. He was Hell cared for. and has now quite recov- 

 ered bis health and sight. But bis existence was wonder- 

 ful, lie bad had no food and no water, and had not 

 gnawe 1 the Itoiksor obtained sustenance from any source 

 whatever.— A^a/'i re,
