8 RECREATION. 
of a retriever lies in its ability to do all 
this without assistance, and therein Juno 
excels. 
The dog should stand to a flush and not 
break to shot; neither should he go for- 
ward until told to do so. But no “down 
charge!” while you flush the birds. Your 
dog must stand and watch them as they 
rise, so that he may find and retrieve the 
dead bird promptly.

LINES TO THE HOUND. 
STACY E. BAKER. 
Sad eyed, he sits and dreams of days gone 
by, 
And wonders if he’s lost that subtle knack, 
That made him in his youthful master’s 
eye 
The pride and praised of all that famous 
pack. 
The hounds!» The 
race ! 
And hunter, too, on fleet foot horse! 
The chase! ! All join the chase! 
Mad with the 
hounds! 
The chase ! 
The fleeting red fox names the course, 
Don's hunting days, alack, have long since 
passed ; 
He of the pack is left alone. 
He stretches stiffened limbs, 
comes fast; 
He trembles as he hears the hunter’s horn. 
’Tis morn, 
his breath 
The death! The death! With live blood 
flush, 
Survivals of this reckless chase! 
The brush! The brush! Who gets the 
brush! 
Who, who, but she who set the pace,
