[Dec. 1866. 



The Bridgeport Dog Show. 



The first annual bench show of the Bridgeport Kennel 

 Club was held in the old Baptist church building of that 

 city from the 26th to 29th inst., inclusive. The support 

 given by outside and local fanciers was most encouraging 

 to its promoters,and augurs well for Bridgeport from now 

 on having an annual dog show. Already many of the 

 prominent local fanciers are working to found a perma- 

 nent club, and a meeting for the purposes of organization 

 is called for this week. The total entry was 300. which 

 beats Danbury, wiih a larger premium list and an A. K. 

 C. show, by about 80. Had it not been for the bad storm 

 on the opening day there is no doubt the show would have 

 been more of a financial success; as it was, the attendance 

 was fair, although it was not until the two last days that 

 the public really commenced to look with favor on the 

 venture. With a larger building next year there is no 

 doubt the attendance will be better. Much praise is due 

 to Dr. James E. Hair, president of the club, for his un- 

 tiring efforts to make visitors comfortable. E. M. Old- 

 ham was superintendent and Spratts Patent benched and 

 fed. 



The judges were: Dr. James E. Hair, Bridgeport, 

 Conn., pointers, English, Irish and Gordon setters, 

 beagles; German Hopkins, Esq., Hemp3tead, L. I., all 

 terriers, foxhounds, greyhounds and whippets; R. K, 

 Armstrong, Esq., Highland Falls, N. Y., bulldogs and 

 collies: James Watson, Esq., New York, all other classes.

The Monmouth County Hounds. 



The Monmouth County Hunt Club came off with flying 

 colors at the Live Stock Show held last week in Madison 

 Square Garden. The New York Sun of Nov. 28, in its 

 report of the previous day's work at the show, said: 



"One of the best features of the show thus far was fur- 

 nished in the evening, when the Monmouth County Hunt 

 and the Westchester Hunting clubs came out with their 

 horses and hounds to compete for a prize of $350. The 

 conditions in this class required each club to show five 

 couples of foxhounds and three hunters, with the hunts- 

 men in appropriate costume, appointments being consid- 

 ered by the judges in making the award. The Monmouth 

 County Hunt showed the three noted fencers, Ascetic, 

 ridden by P. F. Collier, M. F. H.; The Dutchman, with 

 Jimmy Biute up, and Ascetic II., ridden by Caffrin. All 

 of their horses were big, powerful, well-formed fellows, 

 up to carrying almost any weight, and the riders wore 

 showy, bright-red coats, making a handsome display with 

 the well-broken hounds at the horses' heels. 



"The Westchester Hunting Club's i-epresentatives were 

 The Tartar, with Robert E. Tod, M. F. H, in the saddle; 

 The Turk, ridden by Louis Hayt, and Rameses II.-, ridden 

 by Callaghan. The hounds were judged first, and then 

 came the jumping competition over six fences. Here the 

 Monmouth Club outpointed the Westchester hunters, 

 Ascetic, The Dutchman and Ascetic II. taking the jumps 

 in very clever fashion and scarcely touching a stick. 

 The Turk and The Tartar of the Westchester trio did 

 well, clearing the fences nicely, but Callaghan's brute 

 made a mess of it, bolting, refusing, and tearing down the 

 rails instead of topping them. Messrs. Foxhall Keene 

 and H. L. Herbert did not hesitate long about making the 

 award, the Monmouth Hunt getting the prize." 



Henmore Shamrock. 



Springfield, Vt , Nov. 29.— Our imported Irish setter 

 dog challenge Henmore Shamrock died of acute catarrhal 

 pneumonia at Thomasville, N. C, where he was in the 

 hands of Mr. Wm. Tallman, being handled preparatory 

 to being run in the coming Irish Setter field trials. The 

 dog was going well and Mr. Tallman expected to have 

 him well to the front, and he would have undoubtedly 

 made a good showing. I inclose his pedigree and list of 

 his winnings. He was, back of his head, as fine a show 

 dog as stands to-day, and was a grand field dog, a good 

 sire, and, in fact, one of the best of his breed on this side. 

 All we have to console us is that we have got a most 

 promising pup sired by him out of Rosamond. This pup 

 bids fair to make a worthy successor of his noble sire. 



Muckross Kennels. 



POINTS AND FLUSHES. 



Both Prof. Edm. H. Osthaus and G. Muss-Arnolt were 

 much of the time busily engaged in making portraits of 

 many of the noted dogs which competed in the trials. 

 The portraits are so spirited and realistic that they are 

 marvelous. Their finished attempts are in pleasing con- 

 trast to the crude attempts of years gone by. 



Mr. Fred A. Hodgeman, New York, intends to spend 

 the winter in the South, where he will enjoy the shooting 

 and the balmy climate. 



'Owing to the scarcity of birds in North Carolina, many 

 of the trainers will go to Mississippi to continue the train- 

 ing of their dogs. 



Mr. W. H. Hammond, trainer of the Eldred Kennels, 

 left for Mississippi on the 29th ult. 



Tick Boy had quite an ovation after his win, and his 

 popular owners mixed a bucket of milk and knock-out 

 drops for the delectation of their crowd of friends with 

 results that will live in memory. 



The Members' Stake of the Philadelphia Kennel Club 

 will be run at High Point, N. C, after the Irish Setter 

 Club's trials are concluded. 



ANSWERS TO CORRESPONDENTS. 



There is no charge for answering questions under this head All 

 questions relating to ailments of dogs will be answered by Dr. T. & 

 Sherwood, a member of the Royal College of Veterinary Surgeons 

 Communications refenHng to other matters connected with Kennel 

 Management and dogs will also receive careful attention. 



W. E. R , Reading, Pa.— Please inform rue through your paper what 

 is the matter with my pointer bitch, 7 years old. Whenever I take 

 her out for a long run Bhe commences to hang her head, and before I 

 get her home she becomes so weak she can hardly get along I 

 thought she might have some trouble with her heart. When she is 

 home awhile she seems to get better. She has some trouble with her 

 skin; the hair comes out in her front part, but the skin does 

 not get sore nor any worse. She has also trouble with her eyes- 

 they are always full of matter. She has a good appetite. Please pre- 

 scribe for her. Ans.— Without an examination we cannot say exactly 

 what is the matter. She must have some internal trouble. Why not 

 have her examined by a veterinarian? 



O. B. M., New York City.— Please prescribe for my Irish setter dog 

 3yrs. old. He has very weak eyes and discharges freely, hair coming 

 off around the eyes. Shakes his head and scratches his ears contin- 

 ually, Good appetite and cool nose. Ans. Treat dog for worms 

 Give two compound sulphur tablets twice a day. Into the ears pour 

 a little of the ioilowing lotion twice a day; also apply this lotion to the 

 eyelids three or four times a day: ZoularcTa extract of lead 4drs 

 water 6oz. Mix. '' 



Champion Field Trial Association. 



Some changes were made in the prizes at a recent meet- 

 ing of the Association. The prize is fixed at $250 and a 

 cup to be given by the club. Other cups have been prom- 

 ised. All winners in any public field trial are eligible to 

 enter. Committee on judges will announce judges at an 

 early date. Public announcement of conditions of stake, 

 etc., will be published as soon as the secretary can pre- 

 pare the matter. 



New England Kennel Club. 



Boston, Mass., Nov. 29.— Editor Forest and Stream: 

 Our bench show committee has decided to claim the 

 dates of April 20, 21, 22 and 23, 1896, for our twelfth 

 annual show. D E. Loveland, Sec'y. 



Practical Yacht Designing. 



It can hardly be said that any pressing need exists of treatises on 

 , naval architecture and of its application to the designing of yachts 

 and boats; any deficiency in this direction has long since been made 

 good by the standard works of several well-known writers. For those 

 who can afford the expense of several rather costly works, and the 

 time necessary to their careful study, there is no lack of practical and 

 reliable information; but the inquiries which we constantly receive 

 from the readers of the Forest and Stream prove that there are many 

 to whom, for one reason or another, the existing works, extensive 

 and thorough as they are, must be practically sealed books. There 

 has been for some years a growing demand for a simple treatise on 

 practical yacht designing, presenting the subject in a way that may 

 be readily understood by anyone of ordinary intelligence and possess- 

 ing a desire to learn and a knowledge of arithmetic. 



With the first number of the coming year the Forest and Stream 

 will begin the publication of a series of articles designed to meet this 

 demand, the author being Mr. W. P. Stephens, for the past twelve 

 years in charge of the Yachting and Canoeing Departments of the 

 paper, Mr. Stephens is specially qualified for this task by his long 

 experience as an amateur designer and builder, and as a critical and 

 technical writer on yachtiDg; and by his close intercourse through 

 the Forest and Stream with those for whom the work is specially in- 

 tended. His personal experience as an amateur designer and builder, 

 dating back to a time when text-books on these subjects were un- 

 known, have shown him what the amateur and the tyro want to 

 know; and his later work at building, designing and writing has fully 

 qualified him to teach what he has learned. His book on "Canoe and 

 Boat Building for Amateurs," though written in 1883, is still recog- 

 nized as the standard work on small craft; and within its limited 

 scope a thorough text-book of the subject. 



The new work will cover a much wider field : the designing of pleasure 

 craft, from canoes and boats up to such sizes of yachts proper aa 

 would be likely to engage the attention of the amateur. The same 

 methods will be followed as have proved so successful in "Canoe and 

 Boat Building," the thorough presentation of the leading prlnciple8,and 

 the elaborate attention to those details, apparently trivial, which are 

 essential to success in any mechanical work. 



The opening chapters will deal first with the object of designing— 

 the production of some sort of floating vessel— the means to this end, 

 from the first consideration of the conditions of the particular case 

 to the turning over to the builder of the drawings, specifications and 

 tables of offsets. The many intermediate steps will be treated of in 

 detail, the first considerations, the selection of the class, the principal 

 dimensions and the elements of the design, the tools, materials and 

 work of drawing, the calculations and the specifications. The articles 

 will be fully illustrated, and will continue through the year to such a 

 length as the subject demands. 



Some of the yachtsmen who are hurrying to the defenBe of Lord 

 Dunraven in the British papers display an ignorance which com- 

 pletely disqualifies them as incompetent to discuss fairly the ques- 

 tion. One correspondent of the Field assumes that if Defender had a 

 "tug" alongside through the night the whole question is decided 

 against her; and another, in the Yachtsman, wants to know why De- 

 fender should have a tender alongside every night. These gentlemen 

 are very evidently not up in modern racing methods, or they would 

 know that both Valkyrie and Defender had in constant and close at- 

 tendance, night and day, not a tug, but a good-sized steamboat, that 

 of Valkyrie in particular being quite a large craft, with staterooms on 

 the upper deck. On board these tenders were duplicate spars, main- 

 Bails, chains, anchors, hatches, ladders, boats, in fact about every- 

 thing movable that was not actually needed in a race. Hammock 

 berths and such stuff were shifted back and forth each day, and the 

 entire crew was fed on the tender. As far as mechanical appliances 

 are concerned, it would be an easy matter for either crew to shift lead 

 from the tender to the yacht. The Yachtsman's correspondent, after 

 all that has appeared this year about Defender's Deer Island Yankee 

 crew, accuses them of shifting ballast in Vigilant in 1894, in ignorance 

 of the fact that they are fishermen, and never in a yacht until last 

 season. Unfortunately he offers nothing but his signature in support 

 of the charge of foul sailiDg on the part of Vigilant in 1894; it might 

 be well if he would specify the instances and offer some proof. 



A Cruise in Flatfish. 



In connection with the lines of the racing 5 rater Flatfish in the 

 present issue, we republish from the Field of Aug. 34, 1895, the log of 

 the yacht on a cruise from the Isle of Wight to the Welsh coast. 

 While the log proves ^hat such craft may be made to do, it does not 

 prove that they are in any way desirable for other than the special 

 racing work for which they are designed and built; we can readily 

 sympathize with the c ew who wanted to go back when they saw 

 daylight through the planking of the bow and felt the water coming 

 in freely. 



Editor of the Field: 



To prove how incorrect are those "knowing ones" who assert the 

 "present day. smaller class yacht racing machines" are unable to go 

 to sea, lack all seaworthy qualities, etc., I think the inclosed log of 

 5-rater Flatfish during her voyage from Southampton to Port Dinor- 

 wic, under the charge of Capt. Elias, may be of interest to some of 

 your readers. Methinbs, had some of the ■ knowing ones" been aboard 

 Flatfish in the very heavy sea and strong gale of Aug. 11, they would 

 admit a present day racing machine can, when obliged to and if well 

 built and aWy handled, face nasty seas and gales. H, H, Vivian. 



Friday, July 3.— At 9:30 A. M. launched from slip at Messrs. Fay's 

 yard. Got all gear, provisions, etc., on board; set sail and proceeded 

 out of Itchen River. Passed Calsbot Castle at 11 A.M.; stiff breeze 

 and cloudy. At 11:15 steam tug towing Lassie yacht, also belonging 

 to the owner of Flatfish, came by, took our rope, and towed us to 

 Yarmouth, where we anchored about 13:30, wind being S.W., hard. 

 Wind and weather in the evening very strong and rough. 



Saturday, Aug. 3,— Strong S.W. wind and heavy rain during the 

 night and part of the day. At noon went on board the 1-rater Soper 

 to race; Btarted at 1:30. After rounding the first mark another boat 

 ran into Soper's quarter and made a hole. Kept on to finish the first 

 round, which we did about 30s, behind Gallia, the first boat, when we 

 gave up race owing to the possibility of a protest from the fouling 

 boat. Six P. M., asked pilot cutter No. 2 what kind of weather it was
