FOREST AND STREAM. 



LNov. 12, 1885. 



ing me to come to Salisbury. I arrived tliere about 1 

 o'clock, but foimd Scout dead. As lie died very sud- 

 denly there was a suspicion that he had been poisoned, 

 but an examination faUed to reveal the slightest 

 trace of poison. His lungs were very badly congested 

 and this caused his death. He ran the day before when 

 it was very hot and on the way home there was a shower, 

 which wet him thoroughly, causing him to take a severe cold. 

 Haight was feeltag very badly over his loss, as the do.:? was 

 going better than ever and he" fully expected to get him "to the 

 front. I saw the other dogs at exercise and all of them went 

 in capital form and have greatly improved since last year. 

 Picket, a Derby entry, will make it hot for some of them "if he 

 goes as he did then. T. M. Aldi-ich is at Progress with the 

 pointer Rue and the setters Slocum and Blarney, he also re- 

 ports his dogs doing well. Capt. McMurdo is at Kittrell's with 

 his string: and John Lewis is near Raleigh. Chas. Tucker is 

 coming with twelve that he reports as fit to win in any com- 

 pany. B. Waters also has a string of winners. Short and the 

 others 1 have heard nothing from. 



I have not been able to learn much regarding the Members' 

 Stake. Among the probable starters are C. Fred Crawford's 

 Foreman, F. R, Hitchcock's Vision, W. A. Coster's Buckehew 

 and Briinstone, J. 0. Donner's Lady Sufferin, Geo. T. Leach's 

 Corinne, D. T. Gregory, Jr., 2d's Lucia, Bayard Thayer's Rue 

 and Slocum, and possiblj^ two or three others. 



A few of the members of the club are here and are having 

 fine times. We expect fresh arrivals every day now, and are 

 looking for a very large attendance at the trials. Shadow.

A FACTORY IN NEW YORK.— The Spratt Company 

 (limited), of London, so well known as the manufacturers of 

 the celebrated dog biscuit, have opened a factory here in 

 East Fifty-sixth street. The demand for these biscuits from 

 England, the continent and America, appears to have been 

 too much for the resources even of the Spratts enormous 

 factory in London. The Fifty-sixth street factory is very 

 large, and though at first it wiU be devoted entirely to the 

 manufacture of dog food, it is intended eventually to make 

 all the medicines, biscuits for pet dogs, and so on here. It is 

 undei-stood that on the opening of the factory a pubhc recep- 

 tion wQl be given, so that all will have an opportunity to in- 

 spect it. The factorv here is under the management of Mr. 

 G. G. Cleather, but Messi-s. F. O. de Luze & Co. will still con- 

 tinue to sell the Spratts biscuits. 



THE COCKER SPANIEL_FLY.— Savannah, Ga., Nov. 4.—

 Holley, Jr., claims names of dog and bitch cocker spaniels

 white cocker spaniel bitch, whelped July 2, 1878. I have 

 owned her since October, 1SS2; she was "never bred to Col. 

 Stubbs. I bred her to Romp (Col. Stubbs— Busy B). I have 

 only raised three bitches from her; one I have and two others 

 are owned in this city. Inclosed find pedigree from McKoon, 

 of whom 1 bought her.— G. Noble. [Mr. Noble's Fly is given 

 on the slip he sends as by Snipe out of Piincess. The Fly 

 mentioned by Mr. Holley is given as by Pido out of Baby. 

 They appear to be two different dogs. 



STRAYED OR STOLEN from Ittner's ViUa, Tremont,

 cut head, pleading eyes, timid natuie. Gone three weeks.

PEDIGREE WANTED.— Can any one give me information 

 as to breeding of Irish setter Shot, owned by the late Henry 

 W. Halleck and imported by Mj-. James Gordon Bennett?— A. 

 W. P. (Huntington). 



DEATH OP SCOUT.— Mr. D. G. ElUot, of New Brighton, 

 Staten Island, has had the misfortune to lose by death his 

 pointer dog Scout. He died on Saturday last at Salisbiuy, 

 N. C. , from congestion of the lungs. Scout ran in the Eastern 

 Field Trials two years ago, bufc was unplaced, last year he 

 came out in gran'd fonn, and after showing excellent work 

 was beaten for first place and divided second with Mainspring. 

 He was doing capital work this yeai- and all who saw him run 

 confidently expected to see him a winner. M. Elliot will have 

 the sympathy of every lover of a good dog. 



JOHN E. OWENS, the comedian, paid special attention to 

 his stock when able to give active supervision to his farm, and 

 he has a fine herd of thorougnbred Jersey cows on his farm in 

 Baltimore county, Mai-yland. Another of his fancies was for 

 fine dogs, especially setters and pointers. He was fond of 

 shooting, and often had his friends visit him to join him in 

 partridge hunting. The last time Mr. Owens returned from 

 Europe he brought with him two Irish setters, which he 

 named Ben and Aleck. The dogs are known throughout the 

 neighborhood for their sagaci ty and beauty. 



PHILADELPHIA KENNEL CLUB.— A run over a smaU 

 portion of the Rio Grande grounds, yesterday, where the field 

 trials of the club are to be held found enough birds to insm'e 

 the running out of the heats. It has been determined to run 

 the Puppy Stakes fii'st and give the youngsters all the advan- 

 tage possible, for the coveys would become too scattered if the 

 All-Aged Stakes were run in advance. The one Gordon entiy 

 in AH- Aged Stakes attracts considerable attention, for it is 

 said the dog is a good one. — Homo. 



SOMERVILLE, TENN.— The county fair here had an ex- 

 hibit of dogs. The setter and pointer puppies were judged by 

 Mr. P. H. Bryson. There were fifteen entries: 1st. B. M. 

 Stephenson's Rubicon (Ben HUl— Zoe): 2d, J. Hobsdn's DeU 

 Rivers (Gladstone's Boy — Flirt C). X^ery high com., B, M. 

 Stephenson's Susan and Katrina (Ben Hill— Zoe) ; Hobson and 

 Rivers's Belle of Lucenie (Gladstone's Boy— Flirt C.) ; also, C 

 A. Stainback's unnamed, unpedigi-eed dog and bitch. 



NOTA BENE.— The December number of the A. K. R. will 

 close the volume for 1885. It is highly important to all con- 

 cerned that the show and field trial records of all registered 

 dogs, together with anycorrections, should be brought up to 

 date. Send in early. The Register numbers now reach up 

 to 2908.

KENNEL MANAGEMENT. 



No Notice Taken of Anonymotis Correspondents. 



G. E. H., Newport, R. I.— Give your dog a pill of the citrate of iron 

 and strychnia, two grains, three times daily, concealed in a morsel 

 of raw meat. Persevere in this and we think you will see a marked 

 improvement. 



D. R.. Troy, N. Y.— A spaniel, after recovering from distemper, has 

 a dry, parched nose, is quite weak, and a little staggery in bind part«, 

 is nearly blind. When looking into his eye in a strong sunlight the 

 pupil can be faintly seen, but the cornea appears to be cloudy and 

 not transparent. He eats well and is quite playful. What can be 

 done for him? Ans. Have some pills of the citrate of iron and 

 strychnia made, each to contain two grains. Give one pill three 

 times daily hidden in a bit of meat. Drop a few drops of solution of 

 zinc sulphocarbolaie, strength two grains to the ounce, into the eyes 

 twice daily. Report results. 



B. H. S . Wellesley, Mass.— Will your kennel editor give me direc- 

 tions for knowing and treatment of distemper? Up to what age are 

 dogs liable to have it? Ans. The premonitory symptoms of distem- 

 per are loss of appetite, dullness, often cough, chills, fever, often 

 vomiting. After a few days' profuse semi-purulent discharges from 

 the e.yes and nose, the fever increases, the cough becomes more 

 loose," often diarrhoea comes on. The height of the disease is reached 

 in a week, as a rule. Tbe dog becomes very much emaciated. The 

 dog may recover from this stage, or the inflammation may go down 

 into the lungs, giving pleuro-pneumonia, which is very fatal. The 

 disease is more common tx) the first six months of piippyhood. In 

 treating, the dog should be quarantined; should have dry, well-ven- 

 tilated quarters. While fever exists, tincture of aconite should be 

 given with spirits of nitrous ether, two drops of the former and fif- 

 teen drops of the latter in a tablespoonful of water every two hom-s. 

 At the start ten grains of quinine can be given in one dose. Add 

 chlorate of potash to the drinking water, a teaspoonful to the pint. 

 Give fluid diet- milk, with lime water, tablespoonful to pint; beef 

 soups without fat, a little scraped raw beef mbced with the white of a 

 raw egg. Feed four or five times daily, by force if necessary. If 

 great weakness shows itself, give brandy or whisky, a teaspoonful 

 every hotir. — • 



POINTS WORTH CONSIDERING. 



1 . Because of the compact style of its typography the Forest and 

 Stream actually contains, weekly, more reading matter pertaining to 

 its chosen field than is found in any similar publication m the world. 



2. In general excellence the reading columns of the Forest and 

 Stream are of a higher grade than.those of any similar publication in 

 the world. 



3. Taking into account the amount and the character of weekly 

 readmg given, the Forest ajjd Stream is away ahead of any similar 

 publication in the world. 



4. If a sportsman wishes a sportsman's paper, he will be better 

 suited by the Forest and Stream than by any similar publication in 

 the world. 



The other day a dog which was foUowinga caiTiage turned 

 aside and ran into a yard ou Park street. He might have ex- 

 pected to pick up a fall and winter stock of bones, but in 

 this wav he was disappointed. He was about turning away 

 when a dog owned in the house flew out and rushed upon him 

 in the most reckless maimer, and in the course of ten seconds 

 there was a bite as-bite-can contest of the fiercest desciiption. 

 A woman considerably past the prime of life came out of the 

 house as the dogs rolled arotmd, picked up a club lying on the 

 grass near by, and seemed about to enter the struggle. She 

 raised the cliib two or three times, but let it fall as often, and 

 finally stood an interested spectator of the light. Among the 

 dozen pedestrians halting at the gate was a man, who called 

 out- "Say, stop 'em! Stop 'em!" The woman raised her club, 

 hut hesitated to strike. "Why don't you stop 'em?" shouted 

 the man. ''I'm waiting," she rephed. "For whpt^ Don't you 

 see they'll kUl each other?" "I'm waiting to see how it comes 

 out. If my dog can lick him, it's all right. If he gets the 

 bulge on Rover, I'll even up the chances with this club." 

 Rover <^ot a neck hold, and .shook the stranger until his yells 

 were heard blocks awav, and, when he was hnally permitted 

 to sneak oif, the woman flung down her club and mounted the 

 steps with the remark: "Nobody nor nothing has been killed 

 as 1 know of, and every one of you could see that it was a 

 square fight, and victoiy for the best dog. Please don't rub 

 the paint off chat gate."— Detroit Free Press. 



The latest Nevada romance is that three hogs at Hawthorne 

 devom-ed eight boxes of giant powder. The owner of the 

 stuff, in his anger, hurled a rock at one of the animals, which 

 caused, her to explode with great force and to scatter fragments 

 of flesh all over the sun-Qunding country.
