DR. WM. JARVIS'S RED IRISH SETTER BITCH "ROSE." 



pigs are sometimes rather headstrong, but the hitches are 

 just headstrong enough to make spirited and courageous 

 hunters. They are tractable, make a beautiful appearance 

 in the field, and are tireless workers. When the other dogs 

 seek the shelter of the wagon from fatigue, the red Irish is 

 just beginning to feel in good hunting condition. 



I have been interested in reading the voluminous corre- 

 spondence upon the gun measles. It is my opinion that the 

 guns so afflicted have the measles -when they come from the 

 maker, but do not show them owing to the high polish on the 

 inside of the barrel. I have never seen but one gun without 

 the measles, after it had been in use a short time, and that 

 was a Parker, which had been re-bored by hand. My Colt is 

 thus afflicted, but I keep it clean and it shoots as well as if it 

 was spotless. I have tried putting the gun away in a dry 

 place without cleaning, but it rusts. I clean with kerosene, 

 "wipe dry and oil with best sewing machine oil. Amateur.

give our readers this week a cut of the celebrated red 



V t Irish setter bitch Rose, imported and owned by Dr. 

 Wm. Jarvis, of Claremont, N. H. She was whelped in 1874, 

 and bred by Cecil Moore, Esq., UHardmore, Dalkle}^, Ireland. 

 Her prize winnings are as follows: First, Belfast, Ireland, 

 1876; second, Cork, Ireland, 1870; first, Bristol. England, 1877: 

 second, Detroit, 1879; first, St. Louis, 1879; first special for 

 best Irish bitch, St. Louis, 1879; one of whining Irish Kennel, 

 New York, 1881. 



Rose is full sister to the following "cracks:" O'Brien's Kate, 

 O'Brien's Kitty, McHaffie's Mina and McHaffle's Bella, all 

 noted prize winners. She was sired by the celebrated Pal- 

 merston. Rose is undoubtedly the best Irish bitch in this 

 country and as a brood bitch has been remarkably successful, 

 and of the puppies she has produced, thirteen have appeared 

 1 "' i J o "■■: t he pu blic with the following results, viz. ; 



Raleigh,— Second in all-aged stake when only nineteen 

 months old; Eastern Field Trials, 1879, second, 'open class;

Of the remaining three, Nora was once exhibited when only 

 twelve months old, in open class at New York, 1879, and go"t 

 a c ; and Claremont and Acho were shown in imported puppy 

 class at Boston, 1879, and got nothing; there was only one 

 prize given and their little brother won it, as above stated. 



The cut is a perfect likeness of Rose, and was made by John- 

 son of Boston, from a drawing by A. Pope, Jr. 



Mr. J. S. Skidmore, who selected Rose for her present 

 owner after a six month's search wrote: "At last I have got 

 the thing to suit you, and am well repaid for waiting. I have 



has the loveliest head of the lot, without O'Brien's Kate can 

 equal it; but certainly she is before her other sisters. I really 

 don't think you have ever seen such a head on a bitch as that 

 of Rose, whale for color she cannot be excelled. She has been 

 broken and shot over, but not since last season, so that all she 

 requires is work to bring her to it again." Rose is the only 

 one of these famous sisters in America. In regard to 0'Brien ? s 

 Kate, a prominent English sporting print said at time of 

 Dublin shows, 1877: "She, we consider about the best bitch 

 living, an opinion we gave of her at the last Crystal Palace;" 

 and again at the time of Belfast show, 1878: "She is, in our 

 opinion, the best bitch hying." 



EASTERN FIELD TRIALS CLUB.— There was a very 

 important meeting of the Eastern Field Trials Club at Del- 

 monico's, Fifth Avenue, last Thursday evening. After discus- 

 sing the advantages of several localities for the holding of the 

 trials next fall. Dr. Aten stated that he had recently had a 

 conversation with Dr. 8. Fleet Spier upon the subject, and 

 there was a probability that the club could have the use of 

 Robin's Island for the purpose. This was indeed cheering 

 news, and the matter was postponed until the next meeting. 

 The Derby and all aged stakes were opened with 8250 to first. 

 $150 to second, and 81 00 to third for each event, These are 

 very liberal prizes and will no doubt brum in gj Mud lot of 

 entries. The Derby is open to all dogs "whelped on or after 

 Jan. 1, 1881. This is" quite an innovation, and is most decidedly 

 a step in the right direction. Hitherto the dogs whelped 

 previous to April 1 have been obliged to compete in the all- 

 aged stakes or remain at home, and as the first three months 

 of the. year are generally very prolific hi puppies, it is but an 

 act of justice to their owners that they should have an oppor- 

 tunity to show their quality in a class where they will staud 

 some chance of success. The entries for the Derby close July 1. 

 with 85 forfeit and 810 additional to fill. The entries for the 

 all-aged close Oct. 1, with sioforfeit and H5 dollars additional 

 to fill. The opening of the members' stakes was postponed 

 until a future meeting. Lpon motion of Mr. Leach the run- 

 ning rules were changed so that the withdrawal of a dog 

 should not jeapodize. tl ic chances of any other dog in the stake. 

 Mr. Costar thought that the rules should be so amended as to 

 require that the handlers should shoot at every bird that they 

 were ordered to flush, using blank cartridges^ unless ordered 

 to kill. Dr. Aten moved that score cards should be used at 

 the trials. After some discussion the matter was deferred 



until the next meeting. Mr. Chas. P. Stokes and Mr. T. F. 

 laylor, of Richmond, Va., were unanimously elected honor- 

 ary members. The utmost harmony prevailed throughout 

 the meeting, and after adjournment hearty congratulations 

 were exchanged upon the brilliant prospects of the association. 



DISTEMPER.— "Occasional" writes that he has met with 



good success m treating this disease by feeding finely-chopped 

 onions filed in grease of any kind. Two medium-sized ones 

 are a dose. He also speaks highly of the "tan vat" remedy 

 for mange. 



DOGS POISONED. -Hr.F.D.Wright.of Auburn, N.Y., writes 

 that his valuable setter dog Sentry was poisoned a short time 

 ago. and that over a dozen fine dogs of that city have since 

 met a like fate. The person who wil fully does so dastardly an 

 act Would not hesitate with sufficient provocation to take the 

 life of his fellow man. If some of these scoundrels could be, 

 made to pay roundly for their work it would perhaps deter 

 others from committing the crime, for the assassin is ever a 

 eow;i rd, and the possibility of punishment would exert a re- 

 straining influence upon his brutal instincts. 



A FOX TALE.— The Toronto Globe gives us this: Miles 



Steadman, a farmer who lives on the Kingston road, came to 

 market yesterday with a load of general produce, When he 

 was approaching Scarboro' Heights early yesterday morning, 

 his little dog, which was about twenty yards in advance of 

 the wagon, commenced barking furiously. Presently, from 

 the underbrush on one side of the road', two foxes darted. 

 The dog bounded toward them, and just as it made a snatch 

 at the nearest fox the other turned around and attacked it 

 with great energy. Before Mr. Steadman could run to the 

 rescue the foxes had killed the dog. 



IT PAYS.— Granby, Conn., Feb. \l.— Editor Forest and 

 hi to know that every 

 beagle I have sold through advertising has been from adver- 

 tisement in Forest and Stream: 'also that every dollar 

 received for stud service has been for dogs advertised in 

 Forest and Stream. That at least 95 per cent, of all my sales 

 are made by the few advertisements I have inserted in Forest 

 and Stream, and no stock has been advertised for over a year. 

 Am selling on old advertisements yet, and when the large 

 number of beagles I breed (had nearly fifty beagle pups on 

 hand at one time) is taken into consideration, it is truly 

 surprising and shows the value of Forest and Stream to 

 breeders. Please state to your readers that I have but one 

 price; and time and postage can be saved by bearing this in 

 mind. N . Elmore. 



STEALING AN UNREGISTERED DOG.— Michael Eckert 



was convicted before Judge Hare, in Philadelphia, March 1, of 

 t he 1j trcen v of a black and tan Gordon setter, valued at fifty dol- 

 lars, the property of Byron Bromley. It was in evidence" that 

 the dog had not been registered, and counsel claimed that the 

 court could not impose sentence upon the defendant, because 

 an unregistered dog was not the subject of larceny, although 

 it could be recovered by an action in the civil courts. In sup- 

 port of his claim he. quoted a decision of the supreme court, in 

 which it had been decided that an action of slander could not 

 lie in a case where a man had accused another of stealing a 

 dog, because the dog had not been registered and was not the 

 subject of larceny. The judge said he did not think a man 

 could appropriate a dog becmsa it was not registered, and, in 

 the absence of a decision directly bearing upon the case at 

 issue, the judge said he would dispose of the matter on moral 

 and common-sense principles. The man expected to receive a 

 reward for the return of the dog. Instead of being a gainer 

 he should be made a loser, and the court would therefore 

 order him to pay a fine of forty dollars and costs. 



LAVERACK IMPORTATION.— We clip the following from 



the ••Kennel Gossip" of the Stock-Keeper: "Our American 

 Cousins ' ever to the fore in discovering something spicy or 

 out of the common, have, I think, during the present week 

 done an uncommonly good stroke of business in the setter 

 line. Mr. W. Graham, of near Belfast-, a well-known and 

 highly esteemed exhibitor and frequenter of our dog shows, 

 has purchased for Mr. Goodsell, of New York, the Laverack 

 setter puppy Belthus from his owner. Mr. Hogarth, Kendal. 

 Belthus is a "blue Belton," and though barely twelve months 

 old is over sixty pounds in weight: all round a very fine dog 

 indeed. I have no hesitation in saying he is the cheapest 

 setter which has yet crossed the Atlantic. Delias plenty of 

 pace, an excellent nose, and on the show bench will" make' the 

 best of them take a "back seat." For my part I am sorry he 

 is lost to the country, for his great size, bone, and gehei al 

 frame must have made him a great success at the Stud. He 

 is by Fletcher's Old Bock from a sister to Flash, who is dam of 

 the Birmingham winner at fast show, and Belthus was bred 

 by Mr. J. B. Cockeitou, of Cartmel Fell, whose kennels have 

 produced many excellent examples of the modern Better 



Belthus won fust in the puppy class at Edinburgh in Janu 

 ary. Mr. Goodsell informs us that he will not come to this 

 country until after the forthcoming Crystal Palace show 

 where he will be exhibited.
