RETURN OF MARKED SALMON. 



F October and November, 1SS0, in. Uuudred salmon 



were marked at the Bucksport-Orland iMc.i, establish- 

 munt by the method formerly employed there, namely, by a 

 platinum tag attached by a platinum wire to the rearn 

 of the main dorsal : fin, each \s ■ ' liped with a num- 



ber ■which was recorded at the time of marking, i _■ ■ 

 a description of the fish. The result of this experiment has 

 confirmed earlier conclusions as to the biology of the species. 

 They visit the rivers for the purpose of. spawning every 

 second year, and no oftenor. 



Up to" this' time (June 36,) live salmon have been taken with 

 bags on. The following statement exhibiting the growth of

ALEXANDRA PALACE DOG SHOW. 

 TA^ E are indebted to the London Heft? for the report of 

 V V the Kennel Club show, which v, as held ,n the Alexandra 



Palace commencing on Tuesday ! I '. Km- want of space 



we umir the comments upon all of the classes except the 

 ■point i?]'-. : ■! ier- and -a ante . 



The nineteenth exhibition of the the Kennel Club com- 

 menced auspiciously on Tuesday last at the Alexandra. 

 Palace, for the morning was fine, although it uti fortunately 

 turned out a wet .afternoon, a ud it was well known that the 



large, number of ItEEl dogshad entered f Or competition. 



It was. therefore, only reasonable that the visitors who 

 Journeyed down In the ■•early specia !" should have indulged in 

 prophecies ""of a very pleasant show; and it is stUl further 

 gratifying to be able to state that th-b- >■ ■■ a ■., , ■■. , ■ 

 fully borne out, as there is no denying that many of the ar- 

 oits were .better than in former rears. Mr. Stephen, 

 the secretary, to begin with, deserves the thanks of exhibi- 

 tors for the-trouble he took to insure the comfort oi bhem- 

 sclvesand their dog^; and the large addition made to the 

 number of judging rings is a move quite in l lie right direction. 

 In paying this tribute to the advantage of Iucm' a t ran aa a neat-;

 we said before, an improvement has been brought about,

 that one decision, alluded to below . was not liked at all. The 

 reverse of bhc medal is nnforbuui a :-. to be found in the 

 clumber spaniel class, as the decisions" in the dogs were not, 



fenerally well Keceived, and the overthrow of that grand do", 

 ohno 1 Gaunt, was a veritable surprif o mam .

handsome varnished ones, and almost all the dogs were well 

 separated b\ wire rails. The eCTect of the varnished benches 



was very g 1. and we heard many exhibitors expressing 



appro ea'l of them. The supply of water and of beading was 

 unlimited, and from whafwe saw we must repeat, without 

 reserve, that the arrangements were all that could be wished, 

 and reflect great credit on Mr. Gruff, Spratt's manager. 



We had written thus far on Tuesday evening, it may 

 therefore be surmised that the expectations of athoroughlv 

 arji rable show were rudely shattered be the events of Tl'mrs- 

 aoon. Whispers of the probable passing of a Kennel 

 Club Coercion Bill had of course reached us previously, but 

 on all hands it was admitted that the actual ace, ,mpl isi . : , •- r 

 of the scheme might be averted. Unfortunately, it was not 

 so; for at the meeting of the Kennel Club the moti 

 J. A. Doyle, which proposed that members Of the Cral i she 

 refrain from judging or exhibiting at independent Bh . w 

 carried by a majority, we hear, of eighteen votes to three. 

 We further learn that the dissentients were Messrs. White- 

 house, Bowers, and the Rev. G. F. Lovell. It is no pai of 

 our duty to refer to the pains or penalties which flaa a - 



:d upon recalcitrant members, for th

 enced by questionable good taste. " It maybe further stated 

 that a report was in circulation to the effect that, if the Co- 

 ercion Bul fail to gather in the wanderers, it is very likefY 

 that d. igs entered at free shows will be disqualified fron \ com

 ers, therefore, may perceive that affairs in the canine world 

 are progressing from bad to worse, and we fear that for th 

 present any resumption of the good will

 the St. Bernard Club. Upon the latter pushing their nom-

 able spirit of practicable independence naturally declined to 

 be dictated to in the management of their owri'affairs. Tie 1 

 result was, that the Challenge C.up of the St. Bernard Club 

 was withdrawn from the Alexandra Palace schedule, although 

 the vice-president of the club was to judge the da 

 simply because the. Kennel Club declined to receive two 

 gentlemen who are unknown in the St. Bernard, world as 

 judges, after their arrangements had been made. 



The effect of such differences as the two mentioned above 

 upon the future of the canine, world may be. wed surmised, 

 and must be much regretted by those who, having «10 a bo

 ordinary and unhealthy state of affairs. As one of the oldest 

 and most respected breeders remarked to us, "The sky is full 

 of clouds; perhaps a httle thunder will clear them all away."

 not think by any means a good one. To begin with, we ob-

 deal of daylight under her, and her flag is very bad. Blanche

 Mickey Free had things pretty much his own way, and Mr.

 for champion clumbers failed to gain an entry. The decis-
