LKTTER NO. 1. 



Mitor Form, omd Streamu 



i would like to know, sir, whether it is the design of the 

 stingy and avaricious persons who have got up tin- s v „t--ii, ,, 

 flelatriala tQ attempt fcoabsorb all the sporting dob of th 

 count r, by a base and extravagant use of money, and to keep 

 out. the poor but honest hunter, who enjoys shooting- just as 

 well as they do. Now, sir. just let inc. say that when these 

 eodiish aristocrats have succeeded in raising the standard so 

 high as to be beyond the reach of the laboring classes, they 

 will rind themselves without support or countenance. No, 

 sir, let us at once raise the cry of "Cheap dog, for the people, 

 and by the people." Brutus. 



I.KTTKR NO. II. 



Editor Forest and, stream: 



While I dislike exceedingly to trespass upon vour valuable 

 space about a personal matter, yet I feel that it is my dutv to call 

 attention to the management of the late field trial. 



Now, sir, this organization issued prospectuses and circulars 

 inviting sportsmen to show- their dogs. Acting upon the supposi- 

 tion thai I was dealing with gentlemen, I was one of the unfortu- 

 nate ones who sent a clog. My dog is well known as the celebrated 

 Bang, out of the wonderful Buster, by Clip, out of .Salh Out 

 and thus has all the blood that can be given a dog. He is known 

 throughout our entire district as a pointer dog, and every friend 

 I have on earth united in assuring me of a prize, 



Now. if such a dog as this is to he set asido for the bench-legged, 

 skew-eyed, fiddle-headed, lantern-jawed brute that was elected for 

 the champion, why, then, it is time the rules of such trials were 

 being overhauled and repaired. 



1 might say more, sir, but I scorn to make iasimiations "though 

 such were plenty" about the judges. Doubtloss they did the best 

 they knew how, but certainly were better fitted to judge asses 

 than dogs. D. D. F. O/O. L. 



LETTEB XO. in. 

 Editor Forest and Stream: 



The miserable collection of horse-thieves, liars and scoun- 

 drels that attempted last week to hold a field trial for the 

 ostensible improvement of dog-breeding was a line instance 

 of how a petty malignity will defeat itself. 



Of course nobodv yvas fool enough to dream that any dog 

 out of "the Ring""would stand any chance of reward; but 

 such outrageous favoritism was a little too strong. In the 

 red Irish cocker class every disinterested part v said that Bull- 

 face received the ribbon over Towser, although his tail was 

 fully ono-sixth inch longer than his unlucky rival. This could 

 not have escaped notice, eveu by the idiot judges, but for one 

 of thorn— the brother-in-law of the. man w)w sold the doq- 

 meat. This miscreant, while the dogs were, being judged, 

 slipped back of the platform and bit off the extra tail. I 

 state this on my personal responsibility,' and it. was noticed 

 by several— as well as by the dog. 



Now, sir, I do not like to light iu the durk ; so I will say that 

 I refer to Mr. John Smith, the judge in question, and si"'n mv 

 self Yours. J. S. rf A Ks." 



I". S. — I will match my dog Towser for one hundred thou- 

 sand dollars a side against auy dog in the United States not 

 his match. J. a. n. 



LAVERACK IMPORTATION.— There arrived on steam- 

 ship Helmstedt, August 3, consigned to Mr. E. B. Goldsmith, 

 for Mr. J. J. Snellenburg, of Now Brighton, Pa., the Laverack 

 setter bitch Queen Laverack. She is by Tory, out of Meg 

 Merrilps. and was whelped May IB, lbbl. She was bred by 

 Mr. H. P. Grant, Newport, Isle of Wight. She is handsomely 

 marked, black, white aud tan, and looks all over a worker. 

 She is entered in both the Chicken Trials and National Derby, 

 and if her performances equal her good looks she will prove 

 no discredit to her high breeding. On the same vessel were 

 .Mr. J. II. Goodsell's Duke of Beaufort and a full sister to 

 Queen Laverack. of a younger litter. Duke of Beaufort ar- 

 rived from his visit to the. land of his forefathers nr capital 

 condition and is lookinc better than we ever saw him. The 

 pupii \ was presented to Mr. Goodsell bv her breeder, Mr. 

 H. P. Grant, of Newport, Isle of Wight. She is a bluebelton, 

 with Blight tan: markings, of capital form, with one of the 

 sweetest heads that we havo seen in a long time. She gives 

 promise of great beauty when mature, and should she go all 

 right will prove quite an acquisition to the extensive kennel 

 off her ownor.
