FOREST AND STREAM. 



13 



ONE OF THE VERY BEST BOOKS we have ever seen 

 on the subject of Dog Training, is that of Mr. S. T. Ham- 

 mond, kennel editor of the Forest and Stream, It is the 

 best, not only because it is carefully written and with an elabor- 

 ation of detail which we have never seen in any other book 

 upon the subject, but because all the author's suggestions are 

 based upon actual experience. He believes that, with patience 

 and kindness, a dog— and especially a pointer or setter— can 

 be taught anything it is at all important for them to learn, 

 and he thinks training better than breaking. In other words, 

 he thinks kinduess better than cruelty, and in this any reas- 

 onable man will agree with him. Mr. Hammond's experience 

 with his dog Trim is a verv interesting sketch, and cannot 

 fail to encourage the owner of a dog to be patient with him, 

 and give him a full and f air trial. "We received the book some 

 weeks ago. but being quite busy just then, mislaid it and 

 determined to say nothing about it until we could read it. 

 Having now done so, wo recommend it unqualifiedly.— 

 Southern Reporter, Sardis, Miss. 



LARGE LITTERS. — Denver, Col., January 22.— Editor 

 Forest and Stream : I notice a recent article boasting of pups, 

 and it concludes "who can beat it ?" That bitch— a red Irish 

 setter— had either 13 or 15 puppies. Kittie, belonging to 

 Mr. Miers Fisher, of Denver, whelped in November, 1885, 17 

 as handsome pups as any one ever saw. She is a beautiful 

 red Irish, and the sire of these pups is also a red Irish, This 

 is her third Utter, her first she had 13. second, 16; this, her 

 third, 17, or 46 in three litters. I don't know what she may 

 have next time. Several prominent sportsmen saw this lit- 

 ter, the pups were all handsome and perfect.— Denver. 



THE NEWARK DOG SHOW. — Editor Forest and Stream ; 

 Mr. J. F. Kirk has consented to judge the Chesapeake Bay 

 dogs in addition to the other classes in his charge; and Mr. E. 

 S. Porter, of New Haven, Conn., will judge bulldogs and bull- 

 terriers at our Newark show. Through mistake the rules pub- 

 lished in the premium list are not the revised rules of the 

 A. K. C. as was intended. A circular will be sent to each 

 recipient of the premium list -with an explanation to this effect. 

 —A. P. Vredenburgh, Sec'y. 



THE FANCIERS' SHOW. — The entries for the third annual 

 dog show of the New York Fanciers' Club far exceed the ex- 

 pectations of the committee. The indications are that there 

 will be about three hundred dogs present. The mastiff and 

 St. Bernard classes will be a grand lot, nearly all of the prom- 

 inent kennels will be well represented. Many of the other 

 classes will also make a good showing. 



BOUND BOOKS OF KENNEL BLANKS-— We have bound 

 books of kennel blanks, each book consisting of 200 blanks of 

 a given style, and can furnish these (postpaid 30 cents) for the 

 convenience of those who have occasion to use a large num- 

 ber of blanks. In ordering be careful to state what particular 

 series of blanks is desired, i e,, whether Names Claimed, Sales, 

 Bred or Whelps. 



THE AMERICAN KENNEL. CLUB. — Editor Forest and 

 Stream: The committee on credentials of the A. K. C. have 

 reported unfavorably on the application of the New York 

 Fanciers' Club for admission to the American Kennel Club.— 

 G. Edw. Osborn, Sec'y A. K. C. 



STANDARD COMMITTEES— If the standard committees 

 who have not reported as vet will be kind enough to do so 

 they will greatly oblige G. Edw. Osborn, Sec'y A. K. C.

RATING CANOES FOR TIME ALLOWANCE. 



Editor Forest and Stream: 



I have followed with great interest the discussion on wide versus 

 narrow canoes in your columns, and have just read your leader of 

 31st December on the classification of wide canoes. Will you allow 

 one at present a stranger to your boats, but who hopes soon to be 

 better acquainted with them, to make a suggestion? 



My canoe, the Pearl, has raced a great deal against larger boats, 

 under, a rule of measurement allowing time for size, the size being 

 ascertained by a measurement roughly stated- area of midship sec- 

 tion multiplied by half length. , - 



This rule has been found to gauge fairly well the sizes of boats of 

 various types, time being allowed in accordance with the following 

 scale:

The area of midship section can easily be ascertained by passing a 

 tape around the canoe; dividing the girth by 4 and squaring the 

 quotient; multiply this by half the length and you have the boat's 

 measurement in cubic feet. 



I would suggest that the out-elassed canoes should have some 

 races made for them under this system of handicap, so as to 

 give" them all sport, without entirely debarring any canoe from rac- 

 ing because her owner wants, for special reasons, a few inches more 

 beam-than the ma jority. 



ThePearl 14ft, x33in., measures 24ft. and has been entered for a 

 great many races in consequence of the opportunity presented by the 

 Thames' Valley Sailing Club, which classes canoes, catooats and gigs 

 tdgether under this rule with very satisfacterv resnlts.
