SALE OF SPORTING DOGS AT ALDRIDGE'S. 



THE fourth sale of the season was held by Messrs. Freeman 

 yesterday, the feature of which was the dispersing of the 

 well-known kennel of pointers belonging to Mr. T. Pilkington, 

 which included the grand old dog Garnet, a pointer who carries 

 his head better than any other pointerin England, and he has 

 carried it to victory more than once both at field trials and on 

 the bench. Mr. PUkington's dogs are so well known that a large 

 attendance was the consequence at the sale, and prices were 

 good accordingly, as there" were those men there whom prices 

 would not stop when the animal in question was the best of its 

 kind. Mr. Barclay Field whs a large purchaser, and so was 

 Mr- Haywood Lonsdale, who secured that grand dog Lake at 

 lLOgs. Below we give the prices with the names of the 

 purchasers. The whole of the dogs were sold without reserve, 

 with the exception of Laurel, which it was stated would be 

 bought in. Col. Cotes sent to the sale four well-broken, flat- 

 coated retrievers, which did not go above their value. The pick 

 of the basket, in our opinion, being Duck, who Mr. Haywood 

 Lonsdale got for 30gs. Three partly-broken young ones from 

 the same kennel averaged lOgs. each, and there was a rare good 

 one in the lot. A lot of Irish and Laverack setters of fair 

 quality were sent by Mr. T. D, Hine, and mostly went very 

 cheap. Altogether Mr. Farmer disposed of 68 dogs.

ENGLISH FIELD TRIAL RULES. 



AT a meeting of the committee of the National Field Trials, 

 held on June 6, at 23 Grosvenor Square, London, TV., 

 A. P. Heywood-Lonsdale, Esq. in the chair, the following 

 resolutions, with a view of strengthening the hands of the 

 judges in the case of disobedient and noisy breakers, and for 

 the protection of those who suffer from the unruly actions of 

 their opponents, were passed, viz. : 



1. That at the National Field Trials Meetings of the future 

 the judges be requested by the committee and empowered to 

 first caution, and, upon repetition of the offense, turn out of 

 the stake any breakers not beating the ground to their satis- 

 faction, not keeping together, or outwalking their opponents, 

 or unduly or unnecessarily whistling or shouting, or in any- 

 way behaving in such a manner as in the opinion of the judges 

 is detrimental to the chance of success of their opponents; and 

 that it shall be permitted for any breaker or owner feeling 

 himself aggrieved upon any one of these points to request the 

 interference of the judges. 



2. That the judges be requested in giving their awards to take 

 into their very serious consideration the manner in which the 

 ground is quartered and beaten, and not to award a prize to 

 any breaker or dog who does not beat his ground and work ex- 

 actly as he should do were he actually out shooting. 



3. That at the National Field Trial Meeting, 1885, a prize of 

 £10 be awarded to the breaker who, in the opinion of the 

 judges, beats his ground in the most sportsmanlike manner. 



(Signed) A. P. Heywood-Lonsdale, Chairman. 



Samuel Ebrall, Secretary. 



[We think the Committee of the National Field Trials 

 have not taken this matter in hand one moment too soon. "We 

 have time after time called attention to the manner in which 

 the ground is wasted at field trials, and the "jockeying" that 

 is occasionally practiced is very reprehensible.— Ed. L. & W.]

THE PHILADELPHIA DOC4 SHOW.— The Philadelphia 

 Kennel Club, in connection with the Fan - of the Pennsylvania 

 State Agricultural Society, will hold a bench show at Phila- 

 delphia on Sept. 1(3, 17, 18 and 19. Sheep dog trials will also 

 be held at the same time. The premium list, we understand, 

 will be liberal, and a large number of special prizes will be 

 offered. Mr. Charles Lincoln will superintend the show, which 

 is a guarantee that the arrangements will be hrst-elass. We 

 would suggest to English exhibitors who intend sending their 

 entries to the New York show in October that they can also 

 show their dogs at Montreal Sept. 9, 10 and 11 and at the Phil- 

 adelphia show a week later and then have ample time to get 

 their dogs in condition for New York. 



ADDRESS WANTED.— Editor Forest and Stream: Can 

 you or anv of your readers inform me of the address of Mr. 

 John B. Summer, who at one time was a breeder of Chesa- 

 peake Bay dogs?— M G 



A STORY FOR THE COMPOSITORS.— The remarkable 

 intelligence of the dog has been veiy many times illustrated, 

 and in Hartford, too, but we cannot forbear to instance a still 

 further example of what he wfll do when pressed by hunger. 

 This morning the unofficial dog of the Evening Post office, en- 

 tered the composing room, wagged his tail to all the "comps" 

 in great good humor, and after sniffing around in an innocent 

 manner, slyly unearthed the dinner of an epicurean type- 

 sticker and made a huge and hasty meal of it. Then he 

 trotted off and, coiling up, went to sleep to dream of boned 

 turkey, lollipops, cheese, Crustacea, and all the other good 

 things that make a paradise of this world in a dog's eye. The 

 consternation and despair of the compositor, as he beheld the 

 remains of his dinner and realized that the afternoon would 

 have to be spent on an empty stomach, with all the ills that 

 that implies, will remain forever fresh and horrible. — Hartford 

 Evening Post. 



TEST OF RABIES.— "When a person hath been bitten by 

 a dog that is apprehended to be mad it commonly happens 

 that the dog is killed before one is assured of his condition, 

 and the. person bitten continues in a cruel uncertainty. Mr. 

 Petit, the surgeon, hath an expedient for putting an end to 

 this uneasiness. He rubs the throat, the teeth, and the gums 

 of the dead dog with a piece of meat that hath been dressed, 

 taking care that there be no Wood to stain it, and then offers 

 it to a living dog. If he refuses it with crying and howling 

 the dead dog was certainly mad, but if the victuals have been 

 well received and eaten there is nothing to fear."— Memoirs 

 Boyal Academy at Paris, 1753. 



MISTAKE IN PEDIGREE.— Rosendale, Wis., July 14.— 

 Editor Forest and Stream: In regard to the article of Mr. 

 W. N. Callender, in your issue of July 10, in reference to mis- 

 take in pedigree of Fancy, I wish to remark it is ingeniously 

 worded, but at this time the only point at issue is, is this 

 pointer bitch Fancy "Cara C?" if not, then the pedigree, by 

 whomsoever given, is fraudulent, is not "correct as to sire and 

 dam" or "technical error, "and it is for those gentlemen, with- 

 out special communication with them, to explain. This bitch 

 Fancy was advertised with a given pedigree, is it fraudulent 

 or not?— S. B. Dilley. 



THE AMERICAN ENGLISH BEAGLE CLUB will offer 

 one or two special prizes at the Philadelphia bench show in 

 September. The beagle classes will be judged entirely by the 

 standard 'of the club.— A. C. Krtjeger (Sec'y and Treas.).

CLAY-PIGEON POINTS. 



Editor Forest and Stream: 



Will you kindly allow us to answer a few criticisms lately passed on 

 us? With reference to inaccuracies in the count of the number of 

 clay- pigeons in a barrel. Any such mistake (for such they are) made

 we could to avoid miscounts, which, if they occur now, are due to 

 fallibility of man, and which we always "make good." Tt has been

 This we are prepared to do at the extra charge of fifteen cents per 

 box. Should any cub prefer same let them give, their -

 ever by Aug. 1 we will be prepared to supply Clubs, etc., with a de
