with these animals. It was, however, as a bear hunter | 

 that his virtues were displayed at their best. No bear 

 could make any long run with that dog at his heels, for 

 at every step it was in danger of being ham-strung, while 

 the dog was sagacious enough to keep a proper distance 

 from bruin's paws, This dog had the principal character- 

 istics of the smooth-coated St. Bernards, and I should 

 like to know if Forest and Stream or any of its readers 

 have had any experience with this dog as a hunter.

 We have never heard of the St. Bernard being used in 

 the field either in England or America, but in Scotland 

 the St. Bernard has proved a very valuable deer stalker 

 in the well-known forest of Glentanncr.

A TEIBUTE TO "PUP." 



House of Representatives, ) 



Washington, D, C, May 31sf. f 



Editor Forest and Stream :— 



The following tribute to a faithful hound may not be 

 deemed unworthy of a place in your columns. The sou- 

 briquet, '■ Pup," began with him, and ended with him- 

 I never knew a better dog. His achievements were 

 among the hills and in the woodland range along the 

 valley of the beautiful Kanawha. Many were the foxes 

 that surrendered to the fleetness of his foot and the un. 

 erring certainty of his nose. We have some good dogs 

 — he was the greatest Eoman of them all. A pair of his 

 youngsters promises the early adornment of my small 

 pack, nnd a strain of his blood is prized above anything 

 our section can boast : — 



Hear I all re lovers of the chase, 



Who follow black, tan, pied, or red, 

 The best and noblest of bis race, 



The Prince of dogs, old " Pup," Is dead ! 

 No more will Joppling's echoes ring 



His nccents clear at early morn ; 

 No more his eyes will brightness bring-, 



Responsive to Ban Oakes' horn ; 

 Van Buren's voice on the hill top high, 



May greet the Nimrod in the chase, 

 Delaney's yell from mountain nigh, 



Give cheer and relish to the race ; 

 From Mathew's Branch to old Stittfield, 



Red fox or gray may frequent go, 

 With foot or ken that ne'er did yield 



To man or dog, nor fast nor slow. 

 The old peach orchard on the hill, 



May, listening, hear the opening pack ; 

 Tho Laurel Hollow o'er the rill, 



Resounding, give the echoes back ; 

 Jeff, Plunder, Crowder, and the rest, 



With Steptocs' shout, may mingle sounds, 

 While Fleet and Watkius, with a zest, 



.Make rapid pace with fox and hounds. 

 Like hurricane or cyclone driven. 



By measureless, eternal wrath, 

 With lightning's flash, in bounty given, 



To 'lumiuate the reckless path, 

 The eager pack may sweep the plains, 



As swift as wings of love or light. 

 The fear'.ess horseman loose the reins. 



And lash his charger on to " Bight." 

 But never over log or rail, 



Will fox evade, or dog pursue, 

 A quicker or a colder trail, 



Than, wind or storm, old " Pup " would do. 

 No pointer he, nor setter sly. 



To steal on unsuspecting prey- 

 But loud he raised his battle cry, 



A warning, as he sought the fray. 

 Descended from an ancient brood, 



Unflinching, told, he stood tho test: 

 He vindicated royal blood, 



Nor found his peer among the best. 

 His voice was musie on the air, 



As he through mazes fust did wind ; 

 His nose wrought, out the hidden lair, 



His foot left hills and rocks behind ; 

 His " bottom " never knew a flag, 

 tin mountain, thicket, heath or vale. 

 By deepening gorge or lofty crag, 



lie followed, fate-like, on the trail. 

 Now, all ye hunters, mark the spot, 



Where lies the friend who served you well. 

 In chase, or out, forget him not ! 



IK- stood by you until he fell. 

 His life was long, his labors hard, 



' Mong men he never owned a too ; 

 He leaves a fame no blemish marred, 



He's gone where all the good dogs go.

The Cocker Judging.— Boston, June 10th.— Editor 

 Forest and Stream .—Your correspondent, " Cocker," in 

 issue of June 3d, is wrong in finding fault with the judge 

 and judging of the "cocker class " at the last New York 

 show, for the very simple reason that there was no such 

 class. The fault, if any, should be found with the class- 

 ification, which let us examine. 



In 1877, the first year of the New York show, there were 

 four classes for spaniels — namely, Irish water spaniels, 

 retrieving spaniels other than Irish cocker spaniels, field 

 spaniels of any other breed, dogs and bitches being in the 

 same class. 



In 1878, besides the foregoing, the dogs and bitches 

 were separated and two extra classes made, one for 

 clumber spaniels and one for cocker spaniel puppies. 



This was a step in the right direction, but was imme- 

 diately followed by a very decidedly backward one, for in 

 1879 the Irish water spaniels— dogs and bitches— were 

 thrown into the same class, and cocker ami field spaniels 

 placed together. L-ie,.aitiuu for 1880. 



Having in previous y. are hud the cockers in a separate 

 class, and having thus formed our ideas of what acocker 

 should bo, it is rather hard k. have (.hem upset by this, 

 to us, now classification, though it has the sanction of 

 such high authority as Stonebenge, who says, in speaking 

 of the modern cocker, " the above title includes every 



kind of field spaniels except the Sussex and clumber." 



I hope in future shows we shall have a separate class 



for cockers. In regard to the particular case as to the 



award of first prize not being given to a cocker the facts 



are these : — 



A protest was received by the Board of Appeals and it 



as claimed that the judge had acknowledged that the 



.inner had considerable English water spaniel blood, and 



was not a cocker, and therefore was not entitled to the 



award. Mr. Dalziel stated to the Board that the class 



was open to all kinds of field spaniels, not being confined 



to cockers, and in his opinion the prize winner was the 



best, although decidedly not a cocker. Surely, under the 



classification no fault could be found with him.

The Doa Breaking Articles. — Piedmont on-Hud- 

 son, June Uth.— Editor Forest and Stream :— I, with 

 several others, wish to know if you are going to publish 

 in pamphlet or book the articles on dog breaking appear- 

 ing in Forest and Stream. I sincerely hope you will, 

 as they are the best and most humane I have ever seen. 

 Your readers do not have to wade through a couple of 

 hundred pages to find out what they want ; the thing is 

 in a nut-shell, and to the point. Many things the articles 

 contain are entirely new. W. F. S. 



Hornell Cooker ChVB.—HornelUville, N. Y., June 

 7th. — A kennel club was organized here May 24th. It is 

 to be called the Hornell Cocker Club, and its aim will be 

 to breed cocker spaniels as near perfection as possible, 

 and to train them for the field. The members had great 

 trouble to get stock that was anywhere near the standard, 

 and it would surprise you to see some of tho trash that 

 was sent here on approval. J. O. F.

A Just Sentence. — John Flynn, of White Plains, has 

 been sentenced to three months in the Albany Peni- 

 tentiary for cutting off the oar of a dog left in charge of 

 Benjamin S. Dick by a New York gentleman. The dog 

 was a setter, valued at 8150. He is ruined as to value.

 book which is to be shortly published, from the well- 

 known pen of Dr. Gordon Stables, R. N., author of " The 

 Practical Kennel Guide," " Dogs and the Public," 

 " Ladies' Dogs," etc., etc. This will be the first hookon 

 this subject that has ever appeared. The Doctor has set 

 himself to the task, and assisted by the best breeders of 

 the day, by many old manuscripts and sketches, and by

 has produced a really sterling work, and one that cannot 

 fail to be read with interest by every one who loves a dog.

 at Hobokcn, N. .1., June II til, and won by the Pliiladclphiaus by 

 one innings and fifty-seven runs. The first inter-collegiate match 

 ever played in this vicinity took place on Friday last on tho excel- 

 lent wicket of the St. George Cricket Club's grounds. The Uni- 

 versity team gave the finest exhibition Of free and brilliant but- 

 ting that has been seen on any New York grounds this season, 

 the cutting being remarkably olean and well timed, while tho 

 excellence of their fielding deserves the highest commendation. 

 George Thayer topped the scores of his side with fifty-nine, made 

 in fine style; but not without a couple of Blieesof luck early In 

 his innings. The bowling of Hyde-Clarke and Conover was not 

 up to their usual good standard, and we were amazed at the very 

 inferior fielding of the Columbia boys. For the New Yorkers 

 Hyde-Clarke and Conover played well and carefully, and the 

 scores which they contributed were in every way deserved. We
