THE NEVERSINKLOaaB KENN5JLS. 



THERE is probably no place in tin's vicinity where 

 the traditions of the past in Connection with big and 



small gamasliooting cling more cips&ly than they do -with 

 the once wild and inaccessible valley of the Noversink. 

 It ia in this beautifully picturesque location, now within 

 easy reach of New York City, that Mr, A. E. I todi ffti \

 nul established his kennels. The farm, which 

 covers over one thousand acres, is within two milespf 



m,, tl : il. Orange Co., N. Y,. on the Erie Railway, and 

 about eighty miles from this city. -Nestling as it. does 

 from side to side of the valley, it is most favoral ily located 

 for being thoroughly preserved, nor have we ever seen 

 any section better adapted naturally for the purpose for 

 which it is intended. 



The preserve is divided by skirtings of low brush and 

 wihl grass into a series of large open Hats, these being 

 subdivided by a magnificent: trout stream of over four- 

 miles in length, Thii ha ! a dammed? in f bur places',

 187 entries, and won second prize at the International 

 Dog Show, at Hanover, May, 1870. For Southern quail, 

 ind - ii eially for "Western shooting, Croxteth would bea 

 grand dog ; he possesses an easy lope, which carries him 

 over the ground which he has an excellent notion of cov- 

 Qririg as it should be. done. We had an excellent oppor- 

 tnnityof seeing him handled by Tburtle. who has him 

 under right control, and Croxteth exhibited a, nose of ad- 

 mirable quality. The daw was anytln'ng but a lit one for 

 any practical test of the dog's ability, but although the 

 Wind blew fiercely in eddies, and at intervals the snttw 

 squalls spattered in his face, he placed his birds astonish- 

 ingly well and went to them as straight as an arrow, thus 

 illustrating the form that has been accredited to his an- 

 cestors. AH this was the more commendable when it be 

 remembered that the dog has never scented or been 

 ked on quail until the day previous to this private 



aal.
