Judith) was recently purchased by Mr. Robert H. Bur- 

 rows, East Orange, N. J. , of Mr. E. H. Moore, owner of 

 the Melrose Kennels. Mr. Burrows is owner of the Sea- 

 f orth Kennels, a kennel devoted to St. Bernards, of which 

 high type and the best quality are conspicuous features. 

 The acquisition of this valuable dog will greatly add to 

 the merits of the kennel. Melrose King has won high 

 honors in the prize ring and distinguished himself as a stud 

 dog. Mr. Burrows is energetic and intends that Melrose 

 King shall have the best of opportunities in the stud, so 

 that much may be expected of him in the future. He is 

 of the same litter as Alton, Jr., a litter of great prize win- 

 ners and dogs of high quality. Mr. Burrows informs us 

 that the price is a large one. In our business columns will 

 be found the advertisement of the Seaforth Kennels. 



Mr. Geo. Laick, Tarry town, N. Y., under date of Oct. 

 12, writes us as follows: About a month ago I sent a 

 beagle dog to Mr. Daniel F. Summers, Thorndale, Pa. , to 

 be prepared for the National Beagle Club's field trials. I 

 have since received word from Mr. Summers that the dog 

 got away from him while in the woods. The dog answers 

 to the name Sport, is about 12£in. high, is a very well 

 formed good specimen of a beagle, has tan head and ears 

 (tan on head and ears not very dark), white stripe onjf ace 

 running a little to one side on forehead; body nearly all 

 black and tan except neck, legs and belly. Should any 

 one of your many readers hear of the whereabouts of my 

 dog they would confer a great favor by notifying Mr. 

 Daniel F. Summers or myself. 



A. D. Fiske, Worcester, Mass., offers beagles for sale 

 and at stud. A. Bradbury, Monument Beach, Mass., offers

Mr. Fred G. Browning, Tarrytown, N. Y., writes us as 

 follows: 



"Ripon Stormer (27,800) has been sold by the Mere Ken- 

 nels, of Tarrytown, N. Y. , to Mr. Fred H. Bowersock, of 

 Lawrence, Kan., who is going in extensively for fox-ter- 

 riers. 'Stormer' was first in challenge class at the late 

 Danbury show, and has yet several more years of useful- 

 ness before him. In the "West he should be well nigh 

 invincible."

The American Waterloo Cup. 



This event, so eagerly looked forward to by American 

 cour.-ers, was begun on Oct. 8, at Huron, S. D., and suc- 

 cessfully concluded. Much enthusiasm was displayed by 

 owners and spectators. Mr. Wm. Stephenson, Dinsdale, 

 Iowa, judged and the slipping was done by Mr. Joseph 

 Dodd, Letcher, S. D. 



The competition was quite national, representatives 

 being present from the extreme east and west of the 

 United States, though the strongest representation was 

 from the coursing country east of the Rockies. 



The greatest interest centered in the main event, the 

 Waterloo cup, for thirty-two greyhounds of all ages at 

 $25 each, $200 added money, making a total of $1,000. 

 The winner gets the cup and $400, the runner up $200; 

 third and fourth, $50 each. The sixteen dogs beaten in 

 the first round have a consolation purse, the winner to re- 

 ceive $100; runner up, $50; third and fourth, $25 each. 

 In addition, there is a plate for the eight dogs beaten in 

 the second ties, $75 and the plate going to the winner, and 

 $25 to the runner up. The first round of the American 

 Waterloo cup resulted as follows: 



Fearnot beat Dakota, Master Dennis beat Van Hoop, 

 Van Aafkebeat Royal Buck, St. Claire beat Trilby, Diana 

 beat Caliph, Charming May beat Sunol, Bed of Stone beat 

 Major, Prince Fullerton beat Nellie Weed, Frank Green 

 beat Donald, Master Glenkirk beat Raven, Long Odds 

 beat Rangarok, Pearl beat .Lady Dedlock, Gilkirk beat 

 Kirkglen, Miller's Rabbie beat Flying Buck, Eleanor beat 

 Yorkshire Lad, and Lucien Swift beat Emm Pasha. 



This finished the running of the first day. The weather 

 was exceedingly favorable for coursing and the attend- 

 ance of spectators was large. 



On the second day a strong wind prevailed, the weather 

 on this account being so disagreeable that the spectators 

 were perceptibly lessened in numbers. The second round 

 of the cup and the first round of the American Coursing 

 Derby were run through. The second round of the cup 

 resulted as follows: Fearnot beat Van Aafke, Diana beat 

 Master Dennis, St. Claire beat Charming May, Bed of Stone 

 beat Frank Green, Master Glenkirk beat Prince Fullerton, 

 Pearl beat Long Odds, Sigelkirk beat Miller's Rabbit, 

 Lucien Swift beat Eleanor. 



On Thursday the American Waterloo purse, for de- 

 feated dogs of the first round, was competed for with the 

 following results in the first round: Dakota beat Van 

 Hoop, Trilby ran a bye, Royal Buck being withdrawn. 

 Sunol beat Caliph, Major and Nellie Week were both 

 withdrawn, Donald beat Raven, Ragnarok beat Lady 

 Dedlock, Kirkglen beat Flying Buck, Emin Pasha beat 

 Yorkshire Lad. In the second round on Friday, Dakota 

 beat Trilby, Sunol ran a bye, Ragnarok beat Donald, 

 Kirkglen ran a bye, Emin Pasha being withdrawn, sick. 

 In the semi finals Sunol beat Dakota, Ku 'en beat Rag- 

 narok. It was not necessary to run a fina. course for 

 this stake, as Sunol and Ragnarok belong to the same 

 owner, D. O. Miller, of Oxford, Kan. 



Following is the result of the third round for the cup: 

 Diana beat Fearnot, St. Claire beat Bed of Stone, Master 

 Glenkirk beat Pearl, Gilkirk beat Lucien Swift. 



The competition for the cup was hotly contested on Fri- 

 day by the dogs remaining in. The weather was fine, the 

 attendance large. Following are the results: Diana beat 

 St. Claire, and Gilkirk beat Master Glenkirk, In the final 

 Gilkirk beat Diana after a grand course. Gilkirk is 

 owned by Messrs. Arthur Melrose and H. Scott Durbin, 

 two popular young Englishmen. 



The American Coursing Derby was for sixteen puppies, 

 whelped on or after Jan. 1, 1894; $100 to first; runner up, 

 $50; third and fourth, $17.50. The first round resulted as 

 follows: 



Vangundie beat Merry Maid, Miss Muffet beat Glen- 

 rosa, Crow Dog beat Hot Stuff, Minneapolis beat Colonel 

 D., Rochester beat Iceland, Volusia beat Wayfarer, Van 



Brulie and Indianapolis ran a bye, San Joaquin being 

 withdrawn sick; Vanbree beat Banker. 



In the second round Vangundie beat Miss Muffet, Min- 

 neapolis beat Crow Dog, Rochester beat Van Brulie, Van 

 Bree beat Volusia. Of these, Rochester and Minneapolis 

 are owned by N. P. Whiting, of Minneapolis, and the two 

 others by Dr. Q. Van Hummell, of Indianapolis. 



In the semi-finals, Minneapolis beat Vangundie, and 

 Van Bree beat Rochester. In the final, Minneapolis beat 

 Van Bree decisively, and won first. 



The result of the competition for the plate for eight 

 dogs beaten in the second round was as follows: 



Master Dennis beat Van Aafke, Frank Green beat 

 Charming May, Long Odds beat Prince Fullerton, Miller's 

 Rabbie beat Eleanor. Second Round — Frank Green beat 

 Master Dennis, Miller's Rabbie beat Long Odds. Frank 

 Green won the final heat after a somewhat unsatisfactory 

 course. 



POINTS AND FLUSHES. 



The well-known St. Bernard dog Melrose King (Alton — 



Mr. W. H, McQuoid, Middletown, N. Y., has pur- 

 chased of Mr. George N. Clemson the English setter dog 

 Kingston, bred by Messrs. Avent and Thayer. Kingston 

 won second in the E. F. T. C.'s Derby, and third in the 

 Manitoba Field Trials, 1892, Mr. McQuoid has placed 

 him in the stud for the convenience of Northern breeders, 

 and his announcement will be found in our buisness col- 



The Herald of Oct. 15 relates a mad dog story of uncom- 

 mon weirdness. It had a scare head, though the Btory 

 itself was short, shorter than the scare head. Twelve 

 laborers, the story goes, were eating in a shanty at Jerome 

 Park "when a mastiff darted through the door and sprang 

 snarling on the table. Foam dripped from his jaws, and 

 he snapped savagely at the terrified men." One man was 

 wounded in twenty places, then the mad dog was driven 

 off. Observe that the "mastiff" foamed at the mouth. 

 The daily reporter never leaves off the foam. A dog suf- 

 fering from rabies does not foam, but without foam the 

 reporter's story would be forceless. But, withal, who 

 will now dare say that thirteen at table is not an unlucky 

 number?
