FOREST AND STREAM. 



[July 2, 1885. 



Better, at $100 before the dogs were judged, and after Jester got first 

 prize, one of Mr. Mortimer's present employes bought and paid for 

 the dog. doing Mr. Masoa out of the purchase. The latter was going 

 to make trouble, but on having an opportunity to examine the dog 

 and see his pig jaw he wisely drew out and left the field and the dog 

 to Mr. Wright. The last of these two claims at catalogue price was 

 made over three years ago. A year later Mr. Mason i udged at Wash- 

 in eton show and Mortimer vaguely says some of his awards were 

 bad. The fact is he didn't know enough about dogs then to tell 

 whether awards were right or wrong except in bull-terrier and bull- 

 dog classes, and Mr. Mason did not judge these. Notwithstanding 

 these rude shocks to Mr. Mortimer's belief in Mr. Mason's ability and 

 knowledge, some two months later he asked Mr. Mason to tell him 

 how he was to place the black and tan terriers at Pittsburg. Queer 

 that such a shocking bad judge should be appealed to by know-every- 

 breed Mortimer to tell how to place Vortigern aud Revellar. The 

 last stipulation deserves to be set out by itself. The crowning 

 absurdity which caused Mortimer to cease believing further in bis 

 teacher, was the latter's showing Nevison against Bonivard for a 

 special. Now for the facts. Mortimer, judging at Pittsburg, put 

 Nevison ahead of all mastiffs there, including Creole. Mr. Watson 

 followed that up by giving him the special at New York. Then at 

 New Haven, at the show referred to, Mr. Mortimer gave Nevison the 

 special for the best mastiff in the show, beating Hero II. It is some- 

 what singular that Nevison has never yet been beaten, and certaiuly 

 was in 1884, if not now, the best mastiff in the country. On the other 

 hand, we find Mr, Mortimer putting Bonivard behind Duke of Leeds 

 a month afcer the New Haven show, thus displaying not only his 

 ignorance of St. Bernard type, but showing that, in his opinion, 

 Bonivard was not the best St. Bernard, while at the same time his 

 opinion that Nevison was the best mastiff still held good. Even if it 

 had been absurd to show Nevison against Bonivard, Mr. Mason knew 

 who he was showing under, but Mr. Mortimer doesn't note that point. 

 This is the last letter I shall write in a controversy which, 

 although very distasteful to me, was absolutely necessary. A 

 thorough exposure has been made and honest owners of dogs 

 will be immensely benefitted thereby. No "fly on the wheel" 

 can run tue machine now, and unless dog lovers allow them- 

 selves to be fooled over the standards question, there is smooth 

 sailing ahead. Chas. H. Mason. 



New York, Jun e 29. 



SALE OP SPORTING DOGS AT ALDRIDGE'S.— Yesterday 

 (June 12) several important lots of pointers, setters and other 

 sporting dogs were offered for sale bv Messrs. Freeman, 

 There was a large attendance, and the prices must, in almost 

 all cases, be deemed highly satisfactory to the venders. 

 Pointers and setters, the property of the late Earl of Wilton, 

 were first under the hammer, and Nog, a five-year-old liver 

 and white pointer, sold well at 17gs. ; his sister Doll went for

 17gs.; Nora, 15%gs.; Grouse, 18gs.- Garland, 30gs.; Juuo and 

 Don, 14}^gs. and 33gs. respectively. The setters from the 

 same kennel sold quite as well. Marvel, a black, white and 

 tan bitch, reached the top figure of 32gs. : six others brought 

 83gs. Col. Legh's pointers have a considerable reputation, 

 still the three brace offered went within their value at a trifle 

 less than 80gs. Don XL, a liver and white dog, three and a 

 half years old, of Mr. Lloyd Price's strain, at 18gs having the 

 honor of the highest figures. Maharajah Dhuleep Sing secured 

 a brace and a half of spaniels for 15gs.. and a Sky e terrier

 5^gs. for Vic, a little red bitch, six brace of dogs from this

 cmnat, O., June 33, L885.— Editor Forest and Stream: The

DACHSHUNDE AT CHICAGO SHOW.— Preston, Minn., 

 June 22, 1885.— .Editor Forest and Stream: Through mistake 

 of the printer the pedigree of my five-year-old dachshund 

 bitch Gretchen, winner of Qrst at Chicago, 1885, was given 

 wrong in their catalogue, and consequently in your report of 

 the show. I entered Gretchen: First, Cleveland, 1888-: first, 

 Chicago, 1883; bv Unser Fritz (first. Philadelphia, 1876: first, 

 Baltimore, 1877; first, Philadelphia, 1879) ex Waldine (first, 

 St. Louis, 1880), The printer left names of sire and dam out, 

 and credited Gretchen with prizes won long before she was 

 whelped. — Wm. Loeffler. 



BONE AND SUBSTANCE.— A subscriber wishes to know 

 what the expression "lacking in bone and substance" means 

 when applied to a pointer or setter. It means precisely what 

 it says, and is intended to carry the idea that the animal so 

 spoken of has not bone and muscle enough to carry him 

 through a long and hard campaign. 



THE COLLIE CLUB.— Cleveland, O., June 20.— Editor 

 Forest and Stream: I am willing to join and advance the 

 interests of a Collie Club by every means in my power. — C. 



Van W. Fish St. Lotris, Mo., June 23.— Editor Forest and 



Stream: Please record me as in favor of the establishment of 

 a Collie Club.^J, A. Long.

 the following mistakes in date of birth of entries for the East- 

 ern Field Trials Derby. Blue Specks, March 28, should read

EASTERN FIELD TRIAL JUDGES.— The Eastern Field 

 Trials Club have appointed as judges at their trials next No- 

 vember, Messrs. D. C. Bergundthal, Indianapolis, Ind., and J. 

 M. Hunter, New York. We hope to be able to announce the

 scratching it all the time, he had it all las.' summer. Can you (eh me 

 of anything that will stop it? Ans. Wash the parts once each day 

 with carbolic soap and then, after drying, rub in with The hand the

 of dogs and their treatment than the one by Ashmont? Ans. Your 

 dog has the distemper. Give him three drops of the tincture of 

 aconite root, and while the fever lasts repeat every two hours, give it 

 in a teaspoonful of sweetened water. Be careful of the food. Give 

 beef tea, milk and lime water, and feed often if the stomach is not 

 weak. In great, exhaustion you may give a teaspoonful of whisky 

 every tnree or four hours. Ashmont's book is an excellent work, one 

 of the best. 



J. A. W., Philadelphia. Pa.— My setter bitch, ten months old, has 

 but little strength. After half hour's lively rim is exhausted, pants 

 and blows painfully. Had the distemper very slightly. Appetite 

 very good. Poor in flesh, otherwise appears 'healthy, lively and 

 intelligent. Ans. The bitch is very likely suffering from anteiiia or 

 want of blood, or some of the necessary ingredients of the blood. 

 This may be dependent upon the sexual organs, which are beginning 

 to take on functional activity. Have a prescription made containing 

 a half ounce each of tincture of nux vomica and tincture of the 

 chloride of iron; one ounce of simple syrup and enough water to 

 make a four ounce mixture. Of this give a teaspoonful three times 

 daily. Keep the bowels regular with castor oil or syrup of buckthorn 

 in teaspoonful doses, and give but little meat, and that cooked and 

 mixed with the other food. 



W. W. P.. Macon, Ga.— What would you do for apointer five years 

 old who shakes his head constantly and. has a tit about every 

 fifteen or twenty days during the hunting season. The paroxyism 

 lasts for about fifteen minutes; I can find nothing like canker 

 He has bad these fits for three years, but he only bad two fits last 

 season, about the first of November, but has had two in the last 

 twenty days. I gave him each morniug last summer a pill of asafet- 

 ida. I think that the fits and shaking of the bead are caused by the 

 same thing, viz.: some brain affection. He is a noted performer in 

 the field, and I would like to cure him. Ans. It seems as though 

 your dog had canker or perhaps disease of the middle ear. You had 

 better have an aurist or physician examine the ears carefully. The 

 fits may be due to this trouble. They may be true epileptic attacks, 

 or due to digestive troubles. We have seen them appear in an old 

 dog at hunting season from excitement and also from feeding with 

 raw meat when unused to such diet. The bowels should be kept 

 freely open and the diet mild. Give the dog two grains Of oxide of 

 zinc m a pill hidden in a morsel of meat morning and evening, and 

 continue until the fits disappear. 



G. R., Philadelphia, Pa.— A mastiff dog is afflicted with diarrhoea. 

 He has had it two months. At one time he was very much emaciate 1 

 when kept on an exclusive diet of boiled rice, boiled milk and beef 

 tea. TJnder this regimen he not only became very much reduced, 

 hut the diarrhoea became increased. I then changed him to boiled 

 beef with a little rice and bones, on which he has been kept for about 

 three weeks. He at once improved on this diet. His appetite is 

 enormous. His spirits are good, and in other respects the clog seems 

 well enough, except that the looseness of the bowels still continues 

 more or less. Ans. Your dog suffers from gastrointestinal catarrh. 

 The causes are very numerous. It may be from some indigestible 

 matter taken in or the remains of a distemper. The diet you give 

 your dog is very eood under the circumstances, and with some 

 medication he should entirely recover. The disease has become 

 chronic, and it will take some time to bring him around. Have a 

 dozen powders made, each powder to contain one-half a grain of 

 powdered opium, five grains of powdered camphor and ten grains of 

 subnitrate of bismuth. Give one powder morning and evening. Give 

 little or no solid food. A little finely minced raw beef might be given 

 each day, and if difficulty is found in administering the medicine, 

 you may mix it morning and evening in a little of the minced meat. 

 The stomach and intestines need rest, and fluid diet will accomplish
