A COMEDY OF ERRORS.— Editor Forest and Stream: 

 In answer to the protest made against my St. Bernard dog St. 

 Elmo, by James Watson, I will state the circumstances of the 

 case. During my absence in Canada in July, 1881, I had in 

 my employ one Chas, Williams, that was recommended to me 

 in Boston, who turned out to be untrustworthy, by giving the 

 services of my champion dog Turco to a bitch in Boston with- 

 out my knowledge or consent, but it leaked out through a 

 confederate of his. I came to the Boston show in May of 1882 

 and saw the St. Bernard pup Snip entered there, better known 

 as St. Elmo, and was told by Williams's confederate that that 

 was the pup by Turco. He took first prize in puppy class, 

 P. D. Bai-dman's Naino took first prize in the open class. The 

 printer made a mistake in the age of Snip, as he was only 

 nine months old instead of a year and nine months. They 

 gave the name of his dam but not of his sire, for reasons 

 better known to themselves. I tben bought him and when I 

 saw him I knew he was a pup of Turco's. I entered him at 

 the Washington bench show in February, 1883, as "St. Elmo, 

 formerly Snip, age eighteen months." There was a mistake 

 made by the clerk both in age of dog and name of dam ; it 

 should liave been Turco ex Fannie Snowdrift, and not Lady 

 Snowdrift. Her name was Fannie Snowdrift, but for short 

 they culled her Fan. Mrs. Foster entered him in her name at 

 the New York bench show in the same year as "St. Elmo, 

 formerly Snip," instead of Turco, ours. Mrs. Foster made a 

 mistake and put down Bruno, as that was a favorite !St. 

 Bernard pet of hers, also mistake in the age. At New Haven 

 this year, he was entered as four years and not as three, that 

 was the printer's mistake, because I entered at the New York 

 dog show this year as four years and two months old, full 

 pedigree, because I have seen other exhibitors do the same 

 thing. As for Dr. Sawtelle identiying my dog in Washington, 

 why he was there for everybody to see. Dr. Sawtelle, like 

 James Watson, remembers that he entered his bitch Sappho 

 imported, but she was raised in Boston. She was bred 

 between the Alpine spaniel and the Newfoundland. He 

 bought her for thirty-five dollars. Afterward he had the 

 services of Mr. Pope's dog Bayard Jr., afterward known as 

 Fritz Emmet's dog. I was connected with the first dog show 

 that was held in America, when Francis Butler and myself 

 were selected by gentlemen to act as judges. Our motto was 

 to give the prizes to the dog and not to the man. — D. P. 

 Foster. 



BROCK— DIANA II.— Newark, N. J.— Editor Forest and 

 Stream: Mr. Leach's reply evidently means no race. It was 

 Ms assertion that Brock cbuld defeat Diana II., which I was 

 not willing to accept as a fact until he bad done so. Mr. Leach 

 then suggested that I send a challenge to him through the 

 Forest and Stream, which when accepted would be binding 

 upon both parties. His excuses are no doubt satisfactory to 

 him, but rather poor to me. He knew before offering to make 

 the race that all my dogs are given the benefit p£ the open 

 season South, and as a rule are not kept in the hands of an 

 amateur. He also saw Diana II. handled by her trainer, and 

 should have known about what she was capable of doing. If 

 the services of Mr. Lewis cannot be obtained, there are prob- 

 ably other handlers that could bring out Brock's good qualities 

 equally well, as there would be about two months to prepare 

 him. If after the six days' race is decided Mr. Leach is desir- 

 ous of running a two or three days' race for a dinner, I will 

 agree to run it.— Chas. Heath. 



HAZE. — Editor Forest and Stream: Can any one give me 

 the pedigree of the fiver and white (slightly ticked) pointer 

 bitch Haze? [N. B. — She is called the above name, but whether 

 it is an abreviation of Hazel or should be spelled Hayes, I 

 do not know.] She was brought to this section from New 

 y ork a year or two ago by a Mr. Townsend. Is about five 

 years old, I think. Any information will be gladly received 

 and paid for by her present owner.— C. H. Coe (G-lencoe, 

 Volusia County, Fla.). 



SUGGESTION TO CATALOGUE MAKERS.— Editor Forest 

 and Stream: Why do not the committeemen who have 

 charge of our bench show catalogues put the pedigree of the 

 entry immediately after the name, instead of interjecting be- 

 tween them the age, color, etc. ? That would make the infor- 

 mation more intelligible, and to my notion tha.t is the natural 

 and sensible sequence to be guided by. A very simple alter- 

 ation in the entry blank would accomplish this change. — 

 Hectomborus. 



WHO CAN BEAT IT?— Editor Forest and Stream: Thomas's 

 Pearl, a Laverack setter bitch from the Rock family, and 

 owned by A. C. Ware, Hartford, Conn., has just had her 

 third fitter by Nemo, an inbred Elcho. The first, twelve 

 dogs, four bitehes; second, eight dogs and six bitches: the 

 third, eight dogs and seven bitehes, making forty-five for the 

 three litters. Who can beat it?— (Hartford, Conn., May 7). 



AMERICAN KENNEL CLUB.— A meeting of the A. K, C. 

 was held at Philadelphia, Tuesday. The old officers were re- 

 elected with the exception that E. S. Usborn, of New Haven, 

 was elected secretary in place of E. S. Porter, and E. Comfort, 

 treasurer in place of G. N. Appold. A full report of the meet- 

 ing will be given in our next issue. 



INCORRECT PEDIGREES.— EUicott City, Md. s Mav |.=- 

 Editor Forest and Stream! In the American Kennel Req^ 

 ister of February, No, 2105 reads thus': "Clover Blossom, by 

 Catesby (Belgrave Joe ex Piot) out of Puzzle:" No. 2if>) reads; 

 •Clover Fidget, by Belgrave Toney (Belgrave JoS ex Tingiej 



U J ""K'avc itrny (iate catesby) ex iricksey." JMow what I 

 want to know is, how many names and how many parents has 

 Catesby. Is he Proteus, or is he Dynamite Joe or Belgrave 

 1 ony? Is his dam's name Tingle or Plot? And what is the rule 

 regarding incorrect entries? An answer through your col- 

 umns will greatly oblige— Fox-Terrier 



MINSTREL WHELPS.— Philadelphia, May 9.— Editor For- 

 est and Stream: I wish to apologize for not correcting the 

 mistake in the date which appeared in my advertisement in 

 your issue of May 23, as 1 noticed it and corrected it, in writ- 

 ing to all parties who made inquiries concerning the dog. 

 Minstrel arrived here in February. 1884, and was mated to 

 Nellie (then the property of Mr. J. Satterthwaite, Jenkin- 

 town, Pa.) the following April. The advertisement should 

 have read, "whelped June 18 " instead of "Jan. 18." The mis- 

 take was caused, I suppose, by my not writing the date as 

 distinctly as I should have written it.— Thomas Allen. 



CINCINNATI SHOW.— New York, May 15. -Editor Forest 

 and Stream: In your report of Cincinnati show, you give In

 Editor Forest and Stream: At the regular monthly meeting 

 of the N. E. K C, held May 14, Mr. Jean Grosvenor was 

 elected secretary and Mr. W. O. Partridge treasurer, in place 

 of J. A. Nickerson and L. T. Field, resigned.— Jean Gros- 

 venor, Secretary. 



GRAPHIC.— .Editor Forest and Stream.- A public notice 

 that the Knickerbocker Kennel Club had purchased the pointer 

 dog Graphic was made on the strength of Mr. E. C. Norrish 

 accepting by cablegram their offer accompanied by draft, to 

 purchase.— Geo. L. Wilms, Secretary.

 champion prize at Crystal Palace.

RANGE AND GALLERY. 



THE WIMBLEDON MEETING. - The preliminary prize list for the 

 forthcoming meeting of the Naboual Rifle Association at Wimbledon 

 has just been issued, and^ shows several alterations and additions, of 

 which those in the Queen's Prize contest are the most important. A 

 sum of £292 is added to the Queen's Prize list, thus bringing the total 

 amount to be lired for in this, tne most important shooting event of 

 the year, to the substantial total of £1.900, divided into 860 prizes. It 

 is in the conditions, however, that tne change is most marked, as 

 there are now to be three stages Instead of two as formerly, and the 

 final shooting for the possession of the most coveted honors will con- 

 sequently become more interesting than before. Under tne new 

 arrangement the silver medal, silver badge, and £G0 become the 

 second prize in the contest, and the ''Sixty" will all receive prizes 

 according to their places in the three stages together. The Queen's 

 prize list and conditions are as follows: First prize, Her Majesty the 

 Queen's Prize, £250, and the gold medal and badge; 2d prize, the sil- 

 ver medal, badge and £00; 3d prize, the badge and £10; 4th prize,

 receive prizes of £2 each. Second stage, 500yds , 10 shots, and 600yda, ,

 the 240 prizes next below the firstOO m the priza list. Third stage, to

A SMALL ARM MUSEUM.-Capt. John Bliss, of Middleton, Conn. , 

 has a fine collection of old style pistols and arms. Among them are 

 two brass-barreled flint lock pistols used in the revolution by tne 

 rnaior of the Ipswich troop of Massachusetts, They are ornamented 

 with filagree wo-k in silver and have an ivory tip at the end of the 

 muzzles. They are exactly like a pair of pistols used by Major Pit- 

 cairn a. Bunker Hill, which are now at the. Old South, Boston. With 

 tne Ipswich pistols are a pair of silver platen steel spurs and an odd 

 one, also two huge brass silver plated buckles. These were used by 

 the major of the troop. A pair of old pistols— London make, as all

 also in the collection, as well as one having an octagsnal barrel of 

 steel, flint lock; and one with the same kind of barrel and a cap lock.
