epoch? What event will mark it? Fewer bad dogs must 

 bred; or if bred, not reared. This will, however, work its own 

 reform, for no doubt bad dogs get every day worth less money 

 and good ones worth more. We may also, I think, train our 

 St. Bernards better, develop their intelligence. We have suc- 

 ceeded in developing his body for the bench show, let ixs de- 

 velop his brain. While the interest abates not on the contin- 

 ent and America, and England is central, in these days of 

 international exhibitions, why should we not, say in the year 

 1887, have a grand international show of St. Bernards in Lon- 

 don?— -H. /. Betterlon, in Idve Stock Journal. 



THE RANCOCAS KENNELS, 



THE distinguished jjosition which Mr. Pierre LoriUard has 

 achieved in the sporting world through the medium of 

 his world-famous racing stable, located on his Eancocas Farm, 

 at Jobstown, N. J., portends to be fm-ther augmented by his 

 entoty into the canine world. For many years Mr. Lorillard 

 has been an ai-dent sportsman and a great lover of well-bred 

 and well-trained sporting dogs. On becoming a pm-chaser of 

 his magnificent estate in Bm'lington coimty he at once set 

 about making a game prese:-ve, of which a descriptiou is given 

 on another page. Fi-om having a few brace of well-trained 

 native setters, he is now the owner of one of the best kennels 

 of blue bloods.in this coimtry, In December of last year Mi-. 

 LoriUard determined to go extensively into the breeding of 

 first-class English setters, which he hoped in time would not 

 ohly make their mark on the bench, but at the field trials in 

 this coxUitry and in England. Expense was not to be consid- 

 ered in the attempt to accomplish this end, and he began 

 looking forward to the time when be should, by a system of 

 crossing the LleweUin and Laverack strains, pi-oduce a race 

 of dogs which should be known as the "Raneoeas breed." 



He had been accustomed to shoot with a friend j Mr. Percy 

 C. Ohl, of Plainfield, N. J., who had for many years beeti a 

 breeder of native setters and who is a thoroiigh sportsman in 

 every respect. He sent for Mr. Ohl, told him that lie contetti- 

 plated the foundation of a sporting dog kennel; discussed the 

 subject with him and asked Mr. Ohl to become its manager. 

 Mr. Ohl at once entered into the project, and armed with a 

 letter of carle blanche to draw on Mr." LoriUard for whatever 

 money he needed for the securing of the foxmdation stock, he 

 started on his purchasing pilgrimage. Leaving this city in 

 January of this year, he visited New Orleans, Memphis, St. 

 Louis, Chicago and Canada, and the principal dog centere in 

 the East. His trip lasted until April, and when he returned 

 home he had purchased at a cost approximating to $15,000 the 

 following well-known setters: 

 Dashing Monarch (LlewellLa's Dash— Countess MoU), 

 Storm Petrel (Don Juan— Petrel III.). 

 El Mahdi (Don Juan— Petrel 11.). 

 Hamlet (Don Juan— Fau-y Lass). 

 Hotspur (Don Juan — Fairy Lass). 

 Sudan (Druid— Ruby). 



Grouse Dale (Grouse— Daisy Dale). For field work only. 



Petrel II. (Pride of the Border— Petrel). 



Blue Belle (Rattler— Daisy). 



Vannette (Count Dick — Petrel). 



Lavelette (Druid— Princess Draco). 



Dame Petrel (Don Juan— Pecrel III.), 



Glenada (Glenrock— Blue Belle). 



Glenlass (Glenrock— Blue Belle), 



Dame Buck (Buckellew— Madame Llpwellin). 



Lotta (Don Juan — Fairy Lass). 



Coimtess MoUie (Coimt Noble— Spai-k) . 



Coomassie (Thunder— Peeress). 



Nancy Rake (Leicester— Petrel). 



He also purchased the pointer Shot (Sensation— H. W. Liv- 

 ingston's Rose). Besides the above when we visited the ken- 

 nels vu June, there were eight fine puppies by Gladstone out of 

 Lavelette, and five by Dashing Monarch out of Vannette. Blue 

 Belle was in whelp to Dashing Monarch and Petrel II. to 

 Coimt Noble. 



We have just learned from Mr. Ohl who writes that "the 

 kennel since then has been visited by malignant distemper, 

 which broke out very suddenly, and had not the sani'^ary ar- 

 rangements been complete our loss would have been very 

 great. Mr. Harry Ohl, who is the veterinarian, is deserving of 

 the highest praise for his wonderfully successful treatment of 

 the disease, especially m the cure of chorea and paralysis. I 

 never saw distemper in such a horrible form before. In 

 seventy-two hours after it was noticed hardly an animal in 

 the kennel, old or young, but what was affected, while every 

 Vaiiety of its freaks was shown and with some new additions. 

 But as we did not lose a dog that was over a few months old 

 we think the success in battling with the disease was Lever 

 equaled anywhere." Judging from the above account the 

 Eancocas Kennel is to be congratulated in weathering the 

 storm so bravely. 



It was not until after the dogs had been brought home and 

 given comfortable quarters in the bani which adjoins Mr. 

 Ohl's conifortable home on the Rancocas Farm, that the plans 

 for erecting a suitable kennel building were agreed upon: and 

 it was not until the middle of June that the stock was Intro- 

 diiced into their new and handsome home. AU things con- 

 sidered, the kennel building is the most elaborate and well- 

 appointed building of its kind in this country. The accom- 

 panying diagram shows that in shape it has somewhat the

form of a cross. The budding is of wood, finished inside with 

 hard wood. The main building, that is the one described as 

 the reception room and kitchen, is two-storied in height, and it 

 and the three wings ai-e covered with peaked slate roofs. The 

 roof of the mam building is surmounted with cupola and flag- 

 staflE. All the compartments in this model kennel are well 

 ventilated and lighted, and all the corners of the rooms are 

 rounded so as to not break the circulation. The building is 

 upon a motiud five feet in height, and especial care has been 

 given to have the drainage as perfect as possible. The floors 

 ai-e of eement, traversed vrith patent drams. The second 

 story of the building is partitioned into sleeping rooms, store 

 room and a room for bitches in season. 



There are three spacious yards, one to each department. 

 They are surroimded with picket and wire fences simk two 

 feet under the ground and are nine feet above it. The yaid 

 belonging to the department where the working dogs are kept 

 is an acre in size. The other two yards are of about a quarter 

 of an acre. All the yards are provided with "shades" or bar- 

 racks with .straw-thatched roofs. The one in the large yard 

 contains a wide shallow trough in which the dogs' feet are 

 washed after they have been woi-ked. The working dogs have 

 free access to their department, where a fresh supply, of water 

 is always on hand. The refrigerator, marked Kin the dia- 

 gram, is about ten feet long, and in it a large supply of food 

 Jind milk is ahvays kept. 



lu front of tbn kennel is the exercising field, a beautiful 

 clover-covered pastui e 187 acres in extent. Thi'ough it, and 

 about 1.50 yards from the kennels, a pretty brook flows, and 

 a portion of it lias been dammed into a bathing place for the 

 dogs, where in warm weather they are taken every day. 



The cost of the kennel building, which was planned by Mr. 

 Ohl and erected by Mr. Lorillard's resident workmen, carpen- 

 ters, etc., was about $5,000. It is situated about a quai-ter of 

 a mile from the largest of the three preserves. Not only is 

 the Rancocas Farm a. great harbor for game, but thesm round- 

 ing country is well stocked witli quail, English pheasants and 

 English partridges, thus affording every opportunity to work 

 the dogs in close proxunlty to their home. Altogether the 

 establishment of Mr. Lorillard's Rancocas Kennels will for 

 some time to come be watched with mterest by the s porting- 

 dog lovers'of tliis countiy. It has entered the lists mider un- 

 exceptionable conditions, and if the adage is correct that 

 "money makes the mare go," Mr. Lorillard's venture should 

 have a "'boom" tha,t will give it a satisfactory record in no 

 time. ' X. 



TH:E AMERICAN KENNEL CLUB. — "Down charge!" 

 Wade, I am afraid you flushed that last bird and did not drop 

 him. Let us look over the ground before going further or we 

 may draw it blank, You ask for mutiny. Did you ever 

 know of a deserter to have the courage to join in a mutiny? 

 A deserter generally runs away and is lost to "sight and 

 memory dear," and small loss to any one; but a mutineer stays 

 and "kicks," and if he can gather around him a sufllcient 

 number of the same mind they overpower the captain and 

 bring him to terms. There are mutineers enough in the 

 A. K. C. to run the ship in good shape, good nas^igators and 

 able seamen, if they will only stick to the ship and puU to- 

 gether ; but if a few desert the balance of the crew will soon be 

 in irons, and then, being short-handed, the ship will become 

 unmanageable and get wrecked and aU on board lost. Do we 

 want to wreck the ship or bring her safely into a friendly 

 port? I also had a dream. I dreamed that I was present at 

 a meettng of the A. K. C, held in October, 188.5, and that the 

 crew mutinied in the most approved dime novel style, over- 

 powered the present navigator, threw him overboard, and 

 then everything went lovely and they married and settled 

 down and lived happily until the end of their lives. I woke 

 up and wondered why your last letter stirred me up so,— G. 

 Edw. Osbobn (Birmingham, Conn., Aug. 20). 



A KITTEN'S FOSTER MOTHER.— Major Fritz Sturm, the 

 genial proprietor of the restaurant opposite the City Hall, has 

 a liver and white pointer Nellie, of which he thinks a gi-eat 

 deal. Nellie is about to propagate her species, and the supply 

 of natural food which nature has provided for the coming 

 bow-wows has somewhat troubled Nellie, as it seemed to be 

 ahead of time. Yesterday Nellie came into the restaurant 

 tenderly carrying a little kitten Avhich she had picked up in 

 the street. The kitten was almost dead, having evidently met 

 with rough handling, and had very little nourishment. Nellie 

 canied the kitten upstairs and proceeded to nurse it. The 

 kitten and its stepmother ai-e both doing remarkably well, 

 the kitten looking as sleek and fat as it would if it had re- 

 mained in the care of its natural mother. Nelhe evinces a 

 strong attachment for her protege, and guards it tenderly and 

 will allow no one to touch it. The Major this morning called 

 in a Press reporter to see the freak. NeUie was lying under 

 the dining-room table and on one of her dugs hung a wee little 

 kitten looking contented and happv. The two formed an in- 

 teresting spectacle. Whether Nellie will abdicate as step- 

 mother when she assumes the title of mother will be an inter- 

 esting question for the little wait.— Pater son Press. 



SHE KEPT HIM.— An old woman, clad in heavy, warm, 

 short skirts, with high, thick-soled boots, and Avearing a tur- 

 ban on her head was landed the other day at Castle Garden 

 along with a large number of German, Irish, English, and 

 other immigrants. Her quaint costume attracted a great deal 

 of attention. In her arms she carried a big shaggy dog with a 

 sharp muzzle, and the two seemed to be very much attached 

 to each other. The woman's name was Margareta TalUs- 

 dotter, and she had come from almost the extreme north of 

 Norway, and was on her way to join her son, who had settled 

 on a farm in Dakota. Her entire concern seemed to be cen- 

 tered in the dog, and she begged Superintendent Jackson not 

 to take it away from her, as the animal had lived with the 

 family for ten years. Mr. Jackson told her she could keep 

 her pet, but she must not let it bite any one,
