leans. Consequently nine out of ten sportsmen confine them- 

 selves to snipe and duck shooting. Considerable apathy eac- 



ibin cin'b "in inaugui-iiting their Held trials from the fact that 

 these trials arc held on quails, a class of game they never 

 hunt, and, therefore, they cannot see that auy benefit is 

 derived. Such ideas are preposterous from the fact that a 

 dog broken on quails is superior to one broken on snipe, and 

 therefore a superior dog on quails quickly develops hi- quali- 

 ties on snipe. Trials are made on quails because, unlike the 

 snipe, they lie to cover and linding them is not attended with 

 the discomforts of hunting snipe. The same requisites neces- 

 ary to the perfect quail dog, namely speed, endurance and 

 scent aru applicable to the snipo dog in a marked degree, asit 

 requires a keener scent to ferret out these little denizens of 

 the marsh land. It is a slauder on the pointer and setter to 

 attempt to describe the class of dogs in the hands of our local 

 sportsmen, except in some instances, as representatives of 

 their kind, as well compare the cab horse to "Maud S." 



In the interest of true sport an appeal is made to hunters 

 in this and adjoining States to come forward and aid the 

 gentlemen of the New Orleans Gun Club in their endeavors to 

 make their field trials a success. A large attendance of 

 some of the most noted dogs now living, has been promised. 

 Quite a large sum of money is required to carry these trials 

 on, and this expense ought not to fall on the shoulder of some 

 live or six individuals, but be shared by every true sportsman 

 in the South. 



MEMORY IN DOGS. 

 Editor Forott and Stream! 



In looking over vour over welcome paper to-dav, I was 

 struck w th an article entitled "Memory in Dogs."' This, I 

 think, doe- not pronerlv describe the wonderful faculty (hey 

 possess of tracing their way home from long distances. 1 will 

 give an instance in which 1 do not see how memory could hive. 

 assisted the dog in finding his way home: 



My father owned a very handsome black setter a good many 

 years ago, that, answered to the name of Major. My faiheV 

 and a friend suited from our residence, at that time on the 

 Delawarejust above Philadelphia, for a shooting trip to A'ew 

 Jersey. They first rowed in a boat up the river some four 

 mile , then up Ronoocos Creek about a mile, where they took 



twenty miles. Tliis, at that time, involved a Change of oars 

 at Burlington, N. ,). From Mount Holly they rode in a stage 

 itlie. dog ridaiT with tie in) to I'emberton, about fifteen miles. 

 At Pomberton they were met bv their friend, wiio drove them 

 to his residence a^ or near, Hanovei Furnace, about twenty 

 milesfrom Pemlxuton, "down in the pines," the dog riding all 

 this distance; in fact, he never touched the ground, except in 

 making i lie different changes of convevance. Alter shooting

 the shore for ducks \vas proposed, and as mv father thought 

 he would have no use for Maie, bo left him tied up in bis

 manner that a dor. led me much pleasure. This idea of using

 l.ope the day is not far distant when lu ist ing (he. poor animal's

 I pursued the -ame comse with tho blue bloods "and have

 in learning them to retrieve or come to me when called. Of 

 course, in some parts of their education u is necessary to use

 I think that the rules ot the tield trials require too much of a 

 dog, as some of them aiv never used in ..'011110011 field work, and 

 in a close heat the best dog may get beat bv failing to drop to 

 shot or wing or failing to hack, which he would readily do if 

 his handler was allowed to speak to him. Many men can 

 break a. dog so that he. .will show off well, but only a few 

 know how to prepare one for good practical Held work, which 

 after all is the only true test of a dog, aud for that mattor of a 



Breaker. 



BIRMINGHAM BOYCOTTED. 

 QlR — When The Darlington show was attacked last summer 

 O through an anonymous threatening letter to its spirited 

 secretary, Mr. Murchison (who certainly has the courage of 

 his convictions, and is one of the ablest of its defenders), liou- 

 e.-tlv ashamed of sueh on audacious act, pleaded, on behalf of 

 the Kennel Club, that this threat was a hoax. Tho more 

 thoughtful of yovir readers, who, with painful anxiety, have 

 watched the working of its committee of late, were not so 

 easily deceived, but felt a strong conviction, although almost 

 aghast at tho audacity of the writer, that it was no hoax, but 

 a deliberately menu and underhand subterfuge to coerce the 

 Darlington committee into compliance with the complete code 

 of the Kennel Club rules. Mr. Sewell. th- Beoretary of tho 

 Darlington show, treated the insult with the scorn and con- 

 tempt it so richly merited. It was tie 11 stated, as "Beta" 

 opportunely reminds your readers, "that the Kennel Club 

 had no intention of Boycotting Birmingham.'' We now find 

 that what the K. C. dared not then openly avow it has since 

 secretly achieved, and the Birmingham bog .Show, the old- 

 est. most respectable, und mo I prosperous do .; . le.n in exist- 

 ence, is Boy eottcd by -.entlc'ii- 11 in private These gentlemen 

 formed the. committee at which it wtis decided, in the idssenco 

 of their clear-headed chairman, to launch a thunderbolt at 

 Birmingham just on the eve of closing its entries, as if it 

 hoped to crush il with a blow that would annihilate this great 

 national dog show for ever. Poor Birmingham! it's tim'efor 

 Buruaby and Bright to shake hands, now thai she has fallen 

 upon sueh an evil time that, alas! she should have been Boy- 

 cotted by the oninipoten' "committee of four." Mr. Beech 

 aud the band of Birmingham men at his back, who havo made 

 their dog show truly "national." as well as a financial suc- 

 cess, will not, I assume, lneeklv submit to this dictation from 

 '•the committee of four." The old threat is repeated, that, if 

 exhibitors dare send their dogs to Birmingham, these dogs 

 will not be registered in the K. C. S. B. 



On behalf of the dog-loving public outside of the K. G, I 

 make one more appeal to you, sir, who have done so much 

 for dogs, to come to our n sen-. In I lie name of fair play and 

 juste.-, an. 1 a< a public right. I ask you again to give the" Brit-
