FOREST AND STREAM. 



[Sept. 9, 1886. 



a boat and a gang of men that go along the shores of 

 the river and gather up these fish, and we have all 

 varieties, from the small-mouthed black bass to the 

 buffalo, and we take ihem up there hy the bushel 

 ami srjrt them out and have a tank car and that car is filled 

 up wath these fresh fish and is run over all the railroads in 

 the State, and Avlierever it crosses a rWvr we stop and dump 

 in our -fish, and we have distnimtcd a great juany hundred 

 thousand of nsh with very gratifying success, as we get from 

 all portions of the State 'reports'" of "the pickerel, bass a_nd 

 perch where tbey never were kno^vu before. This is a work 

 th;it is easily nud cheaply done, and cousideringthenumbers 

 of the fish Ave Imve distributed, it is much cheaper than any 

 other work fhat is done in that line. It so A' ery effect iA'e that 

 I feel like suggesting it to the n.iembers, particularly of the 

 Western States here, believing it is really a much more 

 eft'ectiA-e and pi-ofitable Avay of spending money than by 

 hatching and attempting to ijlaut the fish Avhcre thej'' are not 

 indigenous. 



Me. Claric — I understand they are planted in streams 

 where they were not before. Do you think you would haA'^e 

 got the same result if you had planted little fry in those same 



streams? 



J\lE. FArRBASK — Oh no, I agree AAdth you that the larger 

 the fish the better, still the character of the water of the 

 small strea.ms is .similar to the Mississippi. Before the fish 

 are sorted he picks out the best A'arieties, thinking that is 

 the best Avay to plant them, and last season lie has taken all 

 kinds fmd thrown them in, so that the poorer varieties may 

 make food for the others. 



Ml?. DUMXIKU— There is a fish that is becoming quite com- 

 mon all over the coimtry, from north to south and east to 

 Avest, aud I Avould like to haA^e an expression of this meeting 

 nj regard to the fish l)eing a profitalile one for ])rop;igatiori. 

 It is the carp, and we read Avliat great size it attains in a 

 very ^^i^v years and how prolilic it is. 



l\iR. J3AVn i.ETT— 1 Avould .simply say that in my opinion it 

 solves the question of tb.e cheajiest food for the greatest 

 number of people for the lea.st amount of money, This 

 question can be solved in the propagation of carp. In the 

 State of Illinois there are now 6,000 carp ponds, and a great 

 many of them are producing fi.sh to-day. Applications this 

 year ou file for carp numlier 2,500 in round numbers, and they 

 are increasing eA'ery day. Out of that Avhole number I liaA'C 

 not heard of tAventy-fiA-e that have denounced it as a failure. 

 I have one carp in my possession uoav that I think is among 

 the fu'st receiA-ed from the general (jovernment, a male carp, 

 which measures 36iu. long and weighs S21bs. A large pro- 

 portion of the ponds in the United States are ordinary farm 

 ponds. 



The resolution of Mr. Tomlin lieing called up for reconsid- 

 eration, the same was read by the chairman. The resolution 

 and moA-ement Avas supported by remarks from Dr. Sweney 

 and opijo.sed tiy Secretrry Mather aud President Hudson, 

 The question occurring on the adoption of the motion, it Avas 

 carried by a A^ote of the members present, standing six in 

 the affinnativeto two in the negative. 



The meeting then adjourned siim rJic. 



STATE PROTECTION OF OYSTER BEDS. 



LAST year Mr. E. G. Blackford, one of the four Wish Com- 

 missioners of the State of iNew York, Avas appointed by 

 the GoA^ernor to the charge of the oyster investigation, and 

 also AAnth the enforcement of the laAA's to protect the oy.ster 

 beds .VI nd iJi'eA'ent the dumping of garbage, sludge acid and 

 other refuse in their Aicinity. To this end lie appointed Mr. 

 Merserau to superAfise this worlv, and under his direction a 

 numlter of arrests haA^e already lieen made, and they have 

 secured a large amount of eAddence to present to the Septem- 

 ber Grand Juries of Kings, Queens, Westchester and Rich- 

 mond counties. Among the arrests already made are those 

 of the captain of a tug. and four scoav laborers, all of AA"hom 

 Avere in the employ of Coujinissioner Coleman's Street Clean- 

 ing Bureau. On June 8 they were detected emptying the 

 two scows in the Sound, .atiout three-quarters of a, mile to the 

 east of Execution Reef Light, off the harbor of Ne-\v 

 Rocbelle. The oystermen of that locality say that for some 

 time jjreAdous to these arrests, about 2^400 cartloads of gar- 

 bage had been dumped daily in the Adcmity. 



Capt. Keys, in charge of the tug, was held for the West- 

 chester Grand .Jury in -^LOOO and the men in S350 each. They 

 claimed to have a permit for dumping the garbage AA-here 

 they did. Capt. C. W. Bayes, of the tugboat Maggie Moran, 

 Avas tried recently before Justice Ediiiunds for the same 

 ott'ense, and on his plea of guilty was sentenced to pay a fine 

 of SlOO and to imprisonment in the county jail for 30 days. 

 The captain paid tiie fine and the sentence of imprisonment 

 was suspended. A. similar case, that of the tug J. F. Win- 

 ,slow, AA'ill be tried liefore the same court soon. 



The Commissioner and Oyster Protector have gathered 

 very complete cAddence in regard to the defilement of the 

 waters of the Sound by means of sludge acid, having had 

 detectives at Avork on tlie Kills and NcAA-toAvn C'rcek for some 

 time. It is asserted thtit 1 part of sludge acid in 10,000 of 

 Avater is suflicient to kill all the oysters and fish subjected to 

 its influence. A number of sludge acid cases aaJU be brought 

 before the Grand .luries of Kings, Queeus and Richmond 

 counties during the coming Aveek, aud it is belicA-ed that 

 seA'eral indictments Aviil lie found. Commissioner Blaclc- 

 ford declares that this laAv, unlike its predecessors on the 

 statute book, shall be strictly enforced.

NEWPORT FOX-TERRIER SHOW. 



"VTO dog shoAv eA^er opened with brighter prospects than 

 l\ the one held at NeAvport last Aveek, and none have been 

 more deserAung of patronage. It was the first specialty shoAA' 

 ever given in this country, and Avas held under the auspices 

 of a club Avhose object is the improvement of that useful, 

 handsome, hardy and game little dog, the fox-terrier. We 

 are aAvare that the A. F. T. C, like most other dog clubs, 

 numbers among Its members those Avhose love of a j^ood dog 

 consists in the satisfaction of seeing their names in print, 

 but that the majority love their dogs for other and more 

 commendable reasons is, we knoAV, a fact. The entry, while 

 not large, exceeded the expectations of the management; and 

 the quality, while not up to the high standard of the promin- 

 ent English shoAvs, certainly was better than anything we 

 remember having seen in America. 



No expense Avas spared to make the .shoAV a success, and 

 nothing was done by halves. The premium list was a most 

 liberal one. TAventy-five dollars to each of the champion 

 classes, and prizes ot $30, ?15, iJlO and $.5 to the open classes. 

 The special prizes were about the best Ave have ever seen 

 offered at a dog show, and ranged in value tfo'm S25 to S150. 

 Pewter medals Avere not on vieAv. Sterling silver and lots of 

 it was deemed the proper thing. The KeUy Cup (value $1.50) 

 is a splendid trophy, and proud indeed must feel the fortunate 

 Avinner of it. The catalogue was English, the prize Avinners 

 except in the puppy classes Avere English, aud the judge was 

 English. Those of the Ausitors Avho Avere not Englhsh tried 

 to be. It Avas a very English show. The managers Avere 

 Messrs. August Belmont, Jr., Edward Kelly, Fred lloey and 

 Thos. H. Terry, the last named being absent. The lion's 

 .share of the Avork Avas done by Mr. Belmont, to whose ex- 

 ertions the excellent aiTangeraents were in a large measure 

 due. Mr. John Read (English) was superintendent, and of 

 course il vait sans dire that the dogs Avere Avell cared for. 

 Mr. H. Clay Glover of this city acted as veterinary to the club, 

 but as the dogs were Avith very few exceptions in excellent con- 

 dition, hia exertions were confined to smoking segars and 

 pronouncing a dead dog dead. Spratts Patent (English) did 

 the feeding and we did not hear a complaint. The judging 

 Avas carefully and Avell done, as it always is by Mr. Redmond, 

 Avho is one of the mo.st popular judges England has ever had. 

 As usual, he took great pains to arrive at just decisions, and 

 his aAvards Avere well received by those best qualified to judge 

 of their correctness. 



The Messrs. Kelly had the misfortune to lose one of their 

 bitches. She hanged herself during the first night of the 

 show. With the exception of this little contretemps, all 

 passed off merrily. 



AVe regret to say the show Avas very poorly attended. 

 AVhen we entered on Tuesday morning it looked as though 

 there would be a very large and fashionable attendance, as 

 even at that early hour— ten o'clock— there Avere several 

 ladies iu the hall, and visitors Avere rapidly passing in. Even 

 the club members Avere a little anxious about the comfort of 

 their patrons, and people began to ask how Music Hall could 

 accommoda-te such a croAvd as was expected. All doubts 

 were soon dispelled, as by 12.30 almost everybody had left 

 the building, and but few ever returned. From that time 

 the shoAv appeared to be patronized by nobody but the club 

 members and their families. It is quite evident that New- 

 port is no place for a dog show, and we hope the club will 

 make their next venture in New York, and select an earlier 



or later date. One thing the American Fox-Terrier Club has 

 done— it has given a dog show, a good one, has shown its 

 ability to manage a show creditably, and consequently haa 

 accomplished more than any other specialty .show in the 

 country- 

 Music Hall, where the show was held, is but a feAv yards 

 from the Ocean House, and is Avell adapted for a show of 

 two or three hundred clogs. Fear Avas entertained lest the 

 constant hoAvling, barking and yelping would annoy the 

 hotel guests— disturb their slumbers; but as soon as the 

 numerous mammas AAuth daughters marriageable and passe 

 ascertained that the dogs Avere imported Englhsh dogs, they 

 threw open the AvindoAvs and declared the row so "delight- 

 fully English" they Avould like to hear it all the year round. 

 The weather was charming, you were supposed to know that 

 from the specimens of humanity who were sauntering about 

 Avith theh- pants turned up, just because they were not quite 

 certain it was not raining in London. 



The shoAv comtained several curiosities, not all of Which 

 were four-footed, and several of the imported dogs did not 

 seem to reli.sh the many futile attempts to convert into Eng- 

 lish what is "not built that Avay." Two or three young gen- 

 tlemen (save the mark) vainly affected what reminds us of 

 the once famous Alexandra Eimp. You Avere supposed to 

 know from their hobbling gait that some Briti.sh nobleman 

 had dislocated a limb or alloAved the juicy old port to get into 

 his big toe. 



Another young man who moves in good society, carried 

 his cane, which oy the way was almost as big as himself, by 

 the dirty end, but he never forgot to giA'e the hand that held 

 the dirty cane to his lady friends. Is that an English cus- 

 tom? Then there was a genius (in his way) who certainly 

 contributed much toward relie.Adng the show of the monot- 

 ony which threatened it. Before speaking he Avottld make 

 a Adgorous attempt to put his left ear in his mouth. AVTien 

 he Avished to look at anything he .shut his eyes and when he 

 didn't Avish to see anything he opened them. No Avonder the 

 keepers found it hard to couAdnce the dogs that they Avere 

 the ones that Avere on exhibition. New^iort is not the place 

 for valuable dogs; it is not the t:)lHci_> for a dog .shoAV. 



Splauger and Belgrave Primrose re[)resented champion 

 dogs and Ave were sorry not to see a larger and better class, 

 AA'e have many a tinie'stated that neither of these dogs is 

 first-class, or, indeed, anyAvhere near it, and w^e still hold to 

 that opinion. Both dogs were well shoAvn, iu fact there is 

 marked improvement in all of the Messrs. Rutherfurd's dogs 

 since Dawson has had them in hand. With all his faults 

 Belgrave Primrose is a terrier, but there is a decided lack of 

 character about Splauger, and so deficient is he in that es- 

 sential point that we would have placed Primrose first. Mr. 

 Redmond examined the dogs very carefully, aud it appeared 

 to us that coat was the turning point in Splauger's favor. 

 The latter has a decided advantage over his opponent iu coat, 

 but hls A'ery faulty head, and sleepy, expressionless appear- 

 ance Avill, or should, alAvays keep him back in fairly good 

 company. The cla.ss for champions of the opposite sex Avas 

 better, and contained Diana, Richmond Olive and Lyra. 

 The last named Avas never in the hunt; her head is too faulty 

 to entitle her to champion.ship honors. Diana caia-ies her 

 five years very badly, and is going all to pieces in stifles, fore- 

 legs and feet. She always impressed us as being a bitch of 

 delicate constitution, but Ave hardly expected to see her give 

 AA'ay so soon. She has, Avithout doubtj been one of the best 

 bitches ever seen in this country. Richmond Olive scored 

 another Avin, but she too is not improving Avith age and will 

 soon have to make Avay for younger rlA'als. We told Heald 

 tAvelve months a,go that she was groAAdng coarse and strong in 

 head. Her oAAaier must remember that very fcAv tenders are 

 like old Belgrave .Joe, and that with age they almost iuA^ari- 

 ably get thick in .skull and Avide in front. Olive Avas shoAvn 

 much too heavy and this intensified her growing defects; .still 

 she won Avith something to spare. 



There were twenty entries in the open class for dogs and it 

 Avas the best Ave have ever seen in this country. The fight 

 for the much coA'eted hlue ribbon lay between the well- 

 moulded Valet and Bacchanal, the more truly bred looking 

 son of The BelgraAuan and Bedlamite. Then came the aris- 

 tocratic looking Earl Leycester, f ollOAved by the terror of all 

 Avho poke their fingers at dogs, the daredeAul ShoA^el. Raby 

 Jack brought up the reserve. A^'alet Avas in no better com- 

 pany than he met at Birmingham, AvhereMr. Redmond gave 

 him" first prize and so his chances Avere voted good for a win 

 on this occasion. The ilog was shown a trifle too heaA'y, but"" 

 he was looking much better than he did at Hartford. Our 

 report on him at that. sho\s' Avas substantially correct. There 

 is no striking defect in him and Avlien scru-ed liy points he 

 must always occupy a very prominent place on the bench; 

 but he lacks that trae terrier character Ave all like to see; is 

 rather too large and might be better in coat and loin, fie 

 has plenty of len.gth of head and great punishing power, car- 

 ries his ears welb and stands on the A^ery best of legs and 

 feet. AVe thought him entitled to first prize ou this occa- 

 sion. Bacchanal, Avhile looking sprightly and healthy, Avas 

 ■shown too light of flesh and this gave him a tucked-up ap- 

 pearance AA'hich certainly did not add to his chances of suc- 

 cess, and sLuce he AA-as last shown his gums have begun to 

 recede, which also told against him. He is better in' body, 

 especially over the loin, than Valet and is of better size and 

 shows more character. Earl Leycester, third prize, was 

 undoubtedly one of the best dogs in the cla.ss. At several of 

 the spring shoAvs his merits were altogether ignored, but 

 FoKEST AKD STREAM always had a good Avord to say 

 for him. He is too leggy and is faulty in loin, 

 and rather soft in coat, and Avas shoAvn too light 

 of flesh. AVhile his head is not perfect, it is above aA?er- 

 age. In shoulders and width of che.st he is little behind 

 the best, and he shows considerable terrier character. Still 

 we thought him fourth best in the class. ShoA^el, fourth 

 prize, came near relieving the Chinese Minister of a part of 

 his nasal organ. In fact, he appeared to be in a very bad 

 temper all through the shoAV, and made a number of weU- 

 timed sorties on dudes who persisted in aping Her Britannic 

 Majesty's subjects. He is a Avorkmanlike looldng dog, but 

 is groAving very wide both in skull and chest, and has seen 

 his best davs on the bench. Still Ave thought him better 

 than Earl Leycester, and would have placed him third. 

 Raby -Tack, vlic. and reserve, does not improve in head, and 

 is rather leggy and light in middle. Mixture, \dic.. is a 

 very much better terrier, but, haAdng lost an eye, was heav- 

 ily handicapped. His head is deficient, but he has a grand 

 body, plenty of bone, and good feet. He has already proved 

 him'setf exactly what he lo'oks— an excellent stud dog. Sta- 

 blef ord Joe, vhc. . deserved his card. He is growing cheeky, 

 is not quite straight in front, faulty in back, too big, and 

 lacks character. Scar.sdale .Tim, A'hc, is faidty in head, but 

 stands on good legs and feet, and is fairly good in body. 

 Scar.sdale, vhc, is Avell IcnoAvn to all our readers. He was 

 in good condition. AVarren Jim, he, shows considerable 

 character in head, but is too big and leggy, and is faulty in 

 loin and forelegs ; he deserved bis card. Raby Tyrant II ia 

 too big, and is deficient in head and heaA'y in ears. Clover 

 Turk, c, is deficient in head, coat and ears. How Regent 

 Vox procured his he. card we cannot say. He certainly was 

 not noticed by the judge from Avhose book Ave took the 

 aAvards; neither Avas his number po.sted on the blackboai-d. 

 While A^'ox is snipy and much too leggy, we thought him 

 Avorth a card, and he appeared to be of the same opinion. 

 Elk is faulty in head, eyes, ears, loin and in coat. Jaunty is 

 sheepish in expression, light of bone and faulty in feet. 

 Quiz is too big and is wide m front, not straight in forelegs, 

 heavy in head and deficient in character. Scarsdale Joe is 

 weedy. Toby is a mongrel- Patrick and Cocaine Avere absent. 



The corresponding class of ladies contained thirty entries 

 and they were a much better lot than we expected to find.
