upon Mr. George Lowe. I think this interesting to my Ameri- 
can readers, because both the writer, Mr. Lewis Clement 
(Wildfowler), and the subject Mr. Geo, W. Lowe (Leather- 
head), are well known to sportsmen your side of the pond. 
Both are journalists who have gained fame by making sport 
their theme. and neither are now above turning their experi- 
ence and reputation to pecuniary advantage, and the medium 
both have chosen is dogs; Aine tlle lacrime. Mr, Lowe's nom 
de plume “Leatherhead” at the end of a paper insures its 
beme read. He was, I believe, the first secretary of the Kennel 
Club, and why he ever. resigned I have never been able to 
understand. I belieyeitis to him the Kennel Club owe the 
idea of starting their own organ, the Kennel Gazette. The 
Kennel Gazette is purely official and has no literary preten- 
tions. It merely records the names of dogs registered and a 
small monthly list of second class fanciers who- have sought 
the equivocal honor of beingelected “‘associates” of the Kennel 
Club, Mr. Lowe was the paper's first editor and continues to 
write the leading article for a yearly remuneration of £50. 
Mr. Lowe has honorably earned a reputation tor his setters 
and has turned it to a good commercial account, By so doing 
he only differs from the majority of the Kennel Club members 
who practice cryptically what he pursues openly. Mr. Cle- 
mentin Belle’s Life, where he was Leatherhead’s colleague 
and on the eld over the name Wildfowler, made familiar and 
fascinating that uncomfortable form of sport from which he 
took his nom de plume, As I hayein a former letter explained, 
he started the Shooting Times forthe very laudable purpose 
of putting money im hispocket. i have no hesitation in say- 
ing that nobody approaches him in the continental export of 
dogs. His advertisements can be read in every language, in 
eyery chime. His article on Mr. Lowe appears to be written 
with the object of showing the public that Short is their friend 
not Codlin. 
He commences with an absolute blunder, Mr. Lowe stated 
that Gordon setters should have no white, Mr. Clement says 
they were originally black, white and tan dogs and that ‘‘collie 
blood has been resorted to in order to produce black and tans,” 
and that they owe their deep black and tan to collie blood. 
This is a Curious error that any collie man could set right. It 
<i SiN the other way round, the collie tan was not deep but 
£. 
t, and it is the endeavor of the collie men to get rid of the 
deep tan which they unfortunately got into the breed by the 
Gordon eross and it is a fact which a cursory glance along the 
collie benches will proye that the collies with a rich red tan 
show in their heavy heads, substantial build and settery ears, 
the bar sinister of the Gordon cross. This fact goes far to 
account for the fashion in sable collies, as they are admitted 
to show more collie character. It may be as ‘‘Wildfowler” 
wrathtully complains that ‘‘Leatherhead” makes the best use 
of his opportunities to cry up his own wares, but so long as he 
does not run down those of others and so long as there are so 
many great abuses in doggydom that cry aloud for redress, I 
do not think it necessary to expend so much righteous indig- 
nation upon a point more personal than public. 
I think the comment of most people upon the quarrel will 
be that there is room for both of them, let them shake hands, 
make it wp and ‘what'll they take?” 
Tt appears from the revenue returns that the number of dog 
licenses in Great Britain is decreasing. That this is so is not 
to be deplored. In 1882, 908,860 were paid for; in 1883, only 
894,908. It may be taken for granted that the missing tykes 
are no loss to anybody, teaching them to swim with a brick 
round their necks will lessen the scourge of hydrophobia, and 
there remain still plenty only fit to be sent to Mons. Pasteur 
for experimental purposes. Of such poor wretches it might 
be appropriately said that 
‘Nothing in their lives 
Become them like the leaving it. 
Some seared lunatics are clamoring for the dog tax to be 
raised to 10s, The present amount is quite sufficient if it be 
effectively collected. Should it be augmented there would be 
good reason for trying to evade the heavy impost. 
At the time it was raised from from 5s. to 7s. 6d., I wrote a 
letter to the Times pointing out that the revenue would not 
benetit by the increase, and that they would do better to pro- 
vide far a surer meaus of collection. I suggested that the 
postman should undertake the duty, for nobody knows better, 
often to his cost, who keeps a dog. 
Mr, Buealossi, musical director of the Comedy Theater, has 
composed a piece of music illustrating all the incidents of a 
hunt. The Referee critic says he entered the theater the other 
evening when the “full cry” was on, and all the audience was 
joining in and “giving tongue,” The effect is said to be tre- 
mendous. J wonder the neighbors don’t complain. 
tam constantly coming across a popular form of ignorance 
in the shape of stupid people who, as soon as a dog has bitten 
anybody wantit shot. They havea vague belief they can’t 
explain that the sudden extinction of the dog will cure the 
wound and avert any ill consequences. Just such a case came 
lately before a magistrate, A child had been bitten by a dog. 
- The mother wanted compensation, but much preferred to have 
the dog shot. That seemed to her simple mind necessary to 
effect a cure. It is a pity the magistrate did not know more 
aboutit himself, so as to be able to point out to her the vital 
importance of allowing the dog to live. If [ were bitten by a 
strange dog of unhealthy appearance in the street, I should 
right away with or without the owner’s permission, march 
that creature tomy own home. There he should be tied up 
out of danger, and treated like a cavaliens pet, Each morn- 
ing I should go and have a look at him, his health and comfort 
would be mine. Ifhs continued well, so I should know that 
Thad nothing to fear from his bite, his bright face and cheer- 
ful tail would send me to town with a light heart, and when I 
was quite reassured I would buy him such a collar, and on-it 
should be engraved ‘To a good dog, from Lillibulero;” but had 
this good dog been shot, fancy what fears and anxieties would 
have weighed me down for months probably, while J dreaded 
that fatal disease. Butif the dog became ill, grew worse and. 
at last succumbed, why thenI should know the worst. I 
would calm myself with another look round at all that was 
fondest, read a chapter out of the book I loye best, smoke 
again the pipe that is sweetest, and then in order not to waste 
myself, I would sally out and bite my enemy. 
LILLIBULERO.

THE BELGIAN FIELD TRIALS. 
HE field trials of the Society St. Hubert were run off at 
Othee, near Liege, on Aug. 16 and 17 under very favor- 
able circumstances. Tbe ground was the same as in 1882, and 
nothing better for the purpose could be desired. Game was 
plentiful, and, as the crops of potatoes, mangold, and clover 
Were good, coyer was abundant. The heatin the middle of 
the day was at times very trying, and the scent was as good 
as could be expected. The ground was five to six miles from 
Liege, The judges appointed were Gen. Dayid of Antwerp, 
M. N. Marius of Hanover, and Mr, Sam Price of Bow, North 
Deyon. Gen. Dayid was prevented from attending through 
illness, but a substitute was found in Baron W. del Marmol of 
Enusival, who is a thorough sportman, and was quite capable. 
The judges adopted the system at the National Trials held at 
Shrewsbury, discarding almost entirely the heat system, and 
their awards seemed to give general satisfaction. There was 
an entry of sixteen in the Puppy stakes, and thirty-nine in the 
Al-Laged stakes. 
The first prize in the Puppy Stakes was won by M, Charles 
Medard of Liege, with his pointer Sam, by Banjo {a son of 
oung Bang) out of Plume; second, by Mr. F. Lowe of 
Saronpurne, with his setter bitch Rose, the winner at the 
last Shrewsbury Trials; and third, by Prince Albert de Solms, 
with Luck of Hessne. Comte de Beauffort’s pomter Countess 
of Kent, and M, Jules Dodement’s porntey Drake were very 
highly commended, In the All-aged stakes, Sam, the Puppy

EXHIBITORS’ CONVENTION.—The meeting of exhibitors

oo an exhibitors’ convention to be held at Philadelphia Sept,

all of my dogs from poison, Echo and Gall, both as fine speci- 
mens of setters as ever pointed a bird. Hecho is the dog that 
“Baldy” mentioned in his letter to you on woodcock, and from 
that letter you can judge how I feel for the loss of such a brace 
of dogs, and those the Jast of my stock.—Vitus.
