MASTIFF CHARACTER. 



(Continued fi'om page 72). 



YET you must not put Vera do\\Ti for a dull, soft, apa- 

 tlietic disposition, that ever rejoiced over new friends. 

 She was as active as a terrier and for a coiple of hundred 

 yards as swift as a greyhound. She never missed following 

 me in my rides and cIriA'es and rarely failed to keep pace. 



As to her readiness for action you will judge for yourself. 

 I was on my way home from a long walk, and was passing 

 the "Half Moon Hotel," Dulwich, when seven or eight young 

 fellows, who were apparently on a holiday trip, rushed out 

 of the bar, romping and pushing each other. They were 

 just sufficiently exhilarated to feel inclined to poke a bit of 

 fun at a passer-by. It fell to ray lot, and the first move was 

 to pu.sh me against the fencing of the adjacent hotel tea 

 gardens. Vera noticed it and came up. My assailant was 

 about to push his jest a little further, when two heavy paws 

 stood on his chest, and with a brilliant set of snow-white 

 dentals, framed in by the tight--svrinkled fold of a drawn 

 muzzle, a pair of flaniing eyes with accompaniment of a tune 

 not unlike the distant rolling of a brewing storm, my com- 

 panion did more to check the rough game in the twinkling 

 of an eye than half a brigade of Metropolitan Blues could 

 have achieved in half an hour's eloquent persuasion to 

 "move on." And yet she had never been trained to this; it 

 was the upshot of nature. The mastiff's instinct leads it to 

 protect and to guard, as it compels the collie to drive sheep, 

 the terrier to catch rats, the Newfoundland to jump into the 

 water to save life, and as the pointers and setters are thrown 

 into their state of cataleptic immovability at tlie scent of 

 game. Instances of this are recorded in that excellent work 

 "The Dog," by "Idstone," when he says: "Their great qual- 

 ity—and what greater or so valuable in a dumb animal — of 

 fidelity to their master is historical. Such was the defense 

 of her dead master by a bitch of the old race at the battle of 

 A.gincourt (where she had fought with him and stuck to him 

 after his death, and guarded him from bein.g plundered and 

 stripped by marauders); or of Sir Henry Lee at his seat, now 

 belonging to the Earl oi Lichfield; or 6t the nobleman of the 

 Scotch borders from the attack of assassins at a suspicious 

 Italian inn. 



Let him be your friend, and treat him as such, and you 

 may depend on his acting his part most honestly and most 

 generously. Although I am attached to all my dogs, I 

 always fix on one to be my special mate. A female I gen- 

 erally deem the more faithful, "it seems to run in the female 

 persuasion," as Artenms Ward would put it. My favorite 

 sleeps in my room, comes to my meals, is now and again 

 admitted to my study, and invariably follow-s me in my 

 walks. I have, withotit an exception, always taken my pet 

 with me in my travels at home and abroad, and have had 

 occasion to be thankful for it. 



No dog equals the mastifi! in cleanliness. One I took with 

 me aliroad last summer, and she was twelve hours on the 

 boat, six hours in the train and two hours in a cloak room, 

 without as mucli a leaving any unpleasant tidying up after 

 her departure. I have never yet had occasion to call up my 

 man to do my room in the middle of the night, because in 

 some pressing need my room mate had failed to give me 

 notice. They all and every one would put a foot on my bed, 

 whine and go to the door, clearly indicating that they wi.shea 

 to "leave the room. " I have an instance of a mastifi: bitch 

 pining away and ultimately dying because, being chained up 

 after a life of comparative freedom, she could not retire 

 from her bench when forced hy nature. 



AA^ery striking, and to us a most important page of Vera's 

 biography remains to be recorded. I say us, for on this oc- 

 casion she proved the means of saving tw^o lives. You must 

 remember that fearful and almost unprecedented snoAV 

 storm of 1881. Business matters had called me over to Bel- 

 gium. It had .snow^ed there for some days. I was staying at 

 a friend's house in the country between Bruges and Ghent; 

 we had plenty of sledging. On Jan. 16 we arranged to start 

 on a .sledging expedition to some friends at a distance, fix- 

 ing dinner hour on the following, 18th, for our return home. 

 We arrived at DejTize on the morning of the IStli and w'ere 

 to proceed homew^ard in the afternoon. As the frost was so 

 intense and the wind so high with a thick unceasing fall of 

 drifting snow, my friend's kindest of partners had consid- 

 erately and thoughtfully despatched a covered wagonette to 

 meet us. We took our seat in the trap and moved on. It was 

 then about 4 o'clock P. M. At a small village called Vynckt 

 about four miles from home and quite in sight of our village 

 steeple, friends ran up and begged of us not to attemp:^ 

 crossing the stream and lowlands down the h oil ow% which 

 separated us from our home. But we persevered in our ob- 

 stinate resolve, and full of foolish bravado w'e proceeded on our 

 way. It did not take long before we found out our mistake. A 

 mile or so f urth er the road began to hollow between two banks, 

 and w^e stood blocked. The horse had no firm hold under 

 him and the carriage had for several yards simply been 

 dragged snow-ploughlike through the snow. We quietly 

 jumped out, sent our man for help and rescue, dug horse and 

 traps out of their imbedded position, landed them safely at a 

 neighboring farm, and, leaving ba.ggage behind with the 

 coachman to look after it all, my friend, I and Vera set out 

 to reach home on foot. We were perfectly acquainted with 

 the ground, it was my friend's shooting preserve, and though 

 most perilous to a .stranger, we had no hesitation in under- 

 taking the task. We left the road altogether and took to the 

 crest of the fields. It, however, soon became patent that 

 knoAving a country in spring, summer and autumn is not 

 exactly knowing it in a winter like this, when exceptionally 

 covered in by some eighteen inches of snow. The fields 

 looked as level as a sheet, it was utterly impossible to dis- 

 cover any trace of holes, drains or ditches anyw^here. We 

 knew that the land was crossed and recrossed by deep ditches 

 about five to six feet wide, but we could discover no sign of 

 them, We must come to them— a wonder we had not passed 



any yet. The frost had only set in since and with the 

 snow, so that the ice could not be more than a quarter 

 of an inch thick, and if we trod on it it must give 

 way and swallow lis. One chance was left open to us, viz.: 

 retrace our steps. Now that we came to realize oar position 

 we stood to deliberate. Vera was a couple of yards ahead, 

 making her way as best .she could. Studying the ground we 

 thougHt we might try an old bridge which could not be far 

 ofi'; but just as we set out, changing our direction, Vera 

 stood still in front of us, a little sharp bark of uneasiness 

 alarmed us; she would not advance, and yet we saw no ob- 

 stacle. It struck my friend that we had better push our 

 sticks down to feel. It was fortunate we did. Had we 

 moved one single step more forward, we must have met cer- 

 tain death. We stood on the verj^ brink of the descent, the 

 border of the largest drain in the Avhole place. How we had 



fot here we could not say, for to have reached it we must 

 ave crossed at least half a dozen minor ditches. _ We 

 altered our course and Vera preceded, and providentially, 

 for on two other occasions her instinct made lier leaj) with- 

 out any apparent reason, and thus pointed to us where the 

 hidden peril aw^aited us. We did at last get on solid bottom, 

 and though considerably late for dinner, famished, tired and 

 exhausted, we did not forget to appreciate our life-saAdng 

 guide, wondering how she could have detected and under- 

 stood the danger, and publi.shing near and far how we owed 

 our livas to that untrained and inexperienced brute. Here, 

 then, we meet Avith a mastifl" naturally and instinctively 

 gifted with the traditional and legendary life-saving quali- 

 ties of the St. Bernard dog. He^tdeik Van Doorne.

THE EASTERN FIELD TRIAL JUDGES.-Jersey City, 

 N. J., Aug. 28.— Editor Forest and Stream: I notice that it 

 is announced in the papers that the Eastern Field Trials 

 Club have elected Messrs. Smith, Orth and Bergundthal for 

 the judges. I am confident that no sportsman can offer any 

 objection to either of these gentlemen. They are in every 

 way competent for the position. Yet the election has and 

 will be a great disappointment to all breeders and lovers of 

 the pointer, as we all expected to see that grand little pointer 

 Naso of Kippen at work iu the trials. As this dog is owmed 

 by the Westminster Kennel ( Jlub, and as Mr. Smith is a 

 member of that club, he, I know^, would not consent to judge 

 the working and merit of dogs that he is interested in. I d.o 

 hope the Westminster Kennel Club will insist upon running 

 Naso of Kippen and Bang Bang, and request the Eastern 

 Field Trials Club to select another judge.— C, J. Peshall.
