FOREST AND STREAM. 



ground could anv one hare properly protested against their 

 eo running? Bevan had already run a heat es handler of 

 Ben Hill and was recognised as Ban Hill's handler (exhibi- 

 tor). Stephenson had already run a heat with Lillian as her 

 exhibitor, and was recognized as her handler by the judges. 

 Could any one have justly claimed to the Executive Com- 

 mittee that under the rule referred to they should not run 

 together? Could not Mr. Stephenson properly and justly 

 have claimed that he did not own both dogs and that he was 

 not the exhibitor of both, that he handled Lillian, and 

 Bevan handled Ben Hill? 



Sixth— If Mr. Stephenson could justly claim this, he cer- 

 tainly should not be able to change the running by any 

 method of special pleading. 



We will not go into the question of motive or the delicacy 

 of the situation, or what the social or business relations of 

 any of the parties to the question might be or whether one 

 might prefer another to have a good thing rather than to 

 have it himself, or whether one dog was better than the 

 other. Such matter is n^t pertinent. The question is as to 

 the rule and the application as made by the Executive Com- 

 mittee. We are decidedly of the opinion that the protest 

 was rightly sustained. A gentleman undertakes to plead in 

 mitigation for this offense of Mr. Stephenson, the social and 

 friendly relations existing between Lillian's owners and 

 himself and s iys, "The Executive Committee made a great 

 blunder." We have shown this is not so. Again the gentle- 

 man says, ''Mr, Stephenson was forced to cut his own 

 throat," If Mr. Stephenson suffered that misfortune we 

 contend that he was alens responsible for it. He. could not 

 plead ignorance as to the rules, He entered and ran three 

 of his own dogs, and Bevan ran another (Ben Hill) for him 

 in the All-Aged Stake. The Messrs. Bvyson ran in this stake 

 fit least three, Pet Gladstone, Dan Gladstone and Chickasaw 

 II. Bryson's dog Gladstone beat Stephenson's dog Lady C, 

 and Bryson's dog Dan Gladstone beat Noble C, belonging 

 to Mr. Stephenson. Besides this, Stephenson handled Bob 

 Gates and still owned at least one in the Derby. Mr. 

 Stephenson must have kwn the chances were largely in 

 favor of his dogs and the Brysons' coining together, and it 

 appears there was no thought of being placed in a false posi- 

 tion until Ben Hill and Lillian came together. It appears 

 that Bevan (who handled B.m Hill) was doing right well 

 and performing his full duty until interfered with, so no 

 complaint could be made on that score. So really 

 it comes down to the question whether Mr. Stephe-n- 

 son could be implicitly relied upon to handle Lillian to the 

 best advantage, and if bv so doing he lost, any one could 

 justly reflect ou him. "It was a matter entirely in his 

 hands. He had a duty to perform, and he might have 

 performed it to his own satisfaction and let the matter rest 

 there. He could have dene this as well as he could, had Bob 

 Gates and Lillian come together, and he had to handle both, 

 which was possible under the rules. What has the "cry 

 that would have been raised" got to do with it? Are the 

 rules to be apnlied in a certain direction to prevent any one 

 from "crying" as they please? We hope not. Again, the 

 apologist for Mr. Stephenson says: "Mr. Stephenson knew 

 he was not jeopardizing any one's interest but his own." 

 This we think a very broad and suggestive statement to 

 make. We are of the op'nion that the interests in this heat 

 were not confined to Messrs. Stephenson and the Brysons. 

 Every dog, handler and owner would be affected by the heat 

 and the result of same, and if Mr. Stephenson and those 

 who undertake to plead his case, do not know this and do 

 not recognize it, they should at once assume and claim that 

 when the rules in their operation conflict with the social or 

 business relations of these gentlemen, they are of no bind- 

 ing force and all other interests should re igncrcd. We 

 think differently, and we are glad that the officers of the 

 National Field Trial Club appear, from the decisions made, 

 to differ also. 



The question was properly submitted to the Executive 

 Committee and Mr. Stephenson was acquainted with the 

 fact and what the decision was; whether the decision was 

 right or wrong he assumed grave responsibilities when he 

 set the decision at defiance by doing as he has admitted he 

 did do, and now it remains to be seen what the Executive 

 Committee will do nnder the circumstances. We believe we 

 may safely wait with the full assurance that such men as 

 Messrs. Harris, Logan, Stoddard, Renfroe and Stone will 

 act justly aud mete out actual justice to all concerned, to 

 the Club and others in interest. PARLlAiiEXTARlAX

LICE ON DOGS. 



[From the Forest axo Stream, Feb. 23, 1884.] 



WE have recently rejeived several communications re- 

 questing information as to a sure method for ridding 

 dogs of lice. Almost all of the various remedies that are 

 recommended for their extermination will have the desired 

 effect providiug they are promptly applied. None of them 

 will accomplish the purpose unless so applied. We have re- 

 peatedly stated that "eternal viligance is the price of freedom 

 from fleas." This axiom is especially applicable when seek- 

 ing to circumvent the bloodthirsty lus. The main difficulty 

 in getting rid of these troublesome pests is owing to a want 

 of care in applying the remedy. The louse is very prolific 

 and matures at a very early age, aud as none of the various 

 remedies will destroy the vitality of the egg, no matter how 

 thorough has been the war of extermination, a day or two 

 will see their ranks again full. It is necessary, therefore, in 

 order to make a sure job of it, that the work be thoroughly 

 doue in the first place and thoroughly repeated at least once 

 a week, until "the last armed foe expires." Persian insect 

 powder, when rightly used, answers the purpose very well, 

 and is perhaps the most cleanly and least troublesome method 

 in cold weather, but as the powder only stupefies and does 

 not kill the insect, it is necessary to follow its application 

 with the fine comb, of course destroying by fire every captive. 

 To apply the powder, place the animal upon a large sheet 

 of strong paper, and with an insect gun or common pepper 

 box thoroughly dust the powder into every portion ot his 

 coat, following this with a vigorous shampooing until every 

 insect receives its share. Most of them will at once vacate 

 the premises and fall upon the paper. Those, that remain 

 must be found with the comb and all thrown into the fire. 

 This should be repeated every three or four days until the 

 parasites all disappear. A decoction from quassia wood will 

 also destroy lice. Take two or three ounces of the chips and 

 tie them up in a muslin bag. Suspend them in a pail of 

 water, stirring occasionally. After two hours the decoction 

 is ready for use. Apply it freely with plenty of soap and 

 rinse off with clear water. Strong tobacco water, applied in 

 the same manner, may be used with good results, although 

 it is apt to make the animal sick. Whale oil, freely used, is 

 also sure death to lice. This should be thoroughly washed 

 out of the coat within a few minutes after using on account 

 of cleanliness. There are many other remedies that will 

 aesomplis'i that purpose, but those mentioned will be found 

 amply sufficient. Mercurial preparations of all kinds are 

 never to be used for this purpose, as bad results are always 

 sure to follow. Neither can kerosene be recommended for 

 the same reason. It is absolutely necessary that the kennel 

 and bedding be attended to or all of your labor will be in vain. 

 A good coat of whitewash put on hot, taking care to fill up all 

 the cracks, will render your kennel almost i nsect proof. The 

 bedding should be changed often. Cedar shavings make the 

 best bed, although those of pine will do very well. The bed- 

 ding of dogs who sleep in the house should be frequently 

 scalded out in strong soap suds, and after rinsing in clean 

 water, hung in the sun until perfectly dry. By closely ob- 

 serving the above rules any one can soon rid his kennel of 

 both fleas and lice. 



DISCIPLINE BY DOG TRIBUNALS. 



Editor Forest and Stream: 



You seem to have a fruitful subject for sermonizing in 

 that "Ben Hill-Lillian" affair. I do not pretend to under- 

 stand the matter in its details, and have no opinion to ex- 

 press on its merits or demerits; but the position you take, 

 1. e., that a wrong is a wrong, atd should be reprobated as 

 such, irrespective of the motives of the wrong doer, is so self 

 evidently correct that I am puzzled to understand how an 

 apologist for the wrong can be found. 



But the most serious feature of such cases as this one is 

 the slipshod, whitewashing way in which they are dealt 

 with by the bodies whose special function it is to deal with 

 rhem. Take the A. K. C. If there is one object for the ac- 

 complishment of which it can justify its existence, it would 

 seem to be the punishment of the knaves and dirty curs that 

 infest dog matters; the impostors who concoct false pedi- 

 grees; the swindlers who enter dogs at shows with wrong 

 ages; the knaves who scheme to "work" the judging; the 

 clubs who defraud exhibitors, or the easy-going fellows who 

 enter dogs in classes knowing their ineligibility. Now, in 

 all honesty, can it be said that the A. K. C7 has yet done one 

 act in this direction? Like — (somebody) I "pause for a reply." 

 Look at the "burking" of the St. Elmo case, with the mani- 

 fold kaleidoscope ages and pedigrees of the dog. Mark the 

 dismissal of the "Chicago special" case; the beating of the 

 exhibitor out of his dues for nearly a year is condoned be- 

 cause the money was used for club puroosesl Note the fool- 

 ing with the "Sensation" case at Boston, occurring nearly 

 two years since; remember with astonishment that the "Sans 

 Souci" case has been under advisement of one kind or an- 

 other for over a year, and here is a man that hasn't been 

 able to find out, after a year's trying, whether he is to be 

 permitted to show dogs or not! We will see what becomes 

 of the "Pewter-Medal" investigation: I predict a verdict of 

 "not guilty, but don't do it again." 



There is unquestionably an impression abroad that "dog" 

 business is apt to be dirty business; that a "dog " man is a 

 synonym for a trickster. Of course, like everything else in 

 the world, it is true to some extent, but entirely erroneous 

 to the extent commonly believed; but will you please point 

 out a better way of confirming this impression than the 

 shilly-shally way of dealing with culprits, that marks the 

 course of all our dog tribunals? I have heard it stated that 

 it is the certainty of punishment, not the severity on it. that 

 deters criminals, and as a corollary it would seem to fol- 

 low, that this certainty of prompt enforcement of justice 

 would do more to disabuse the public mind of their errone- 

 ous views of "dog men" than all the platitudes and stuff 

 about "gentlemen," "high position," etc., that the bootlick 

 brigade give us such doses of. 



It is not such a terrible task to clean out cur Augean stable 

 as is commonly supposed ; the laborers at such a task will 

 encounter some bad smells, and make some enemies among 

 the "dirty dozen," but the fresh air of cleaned out quarters, 

 formerly reeking with mal odors, is bracing and invigorat- 

 ing, ana the hearty "well done!" of one decent man far 

 outweighs the wrath of ten gutter curs offended by honest, 

 wholesome "sitting down on." I speak whereof I know; I 

 flatter myself that I have incurred the ill will of as many 

 I skunks as anybody, but I know I never lost a wink of sleep 

 on that account, and the honest approval of one of the many 

 decent fellows who have honored me with their indorsement 

 overbalances the ill will of all the "gutter brigade" between 

 here and Alaska. 



Will not the A. K. C. take up its proper and urgent work 

 in sincerity? Let it give us an earnest of its purpose, that as 

 Ear as in it lies, the next year cf shows shall be marked by 

 honesty both in clubs and exhibitors, or some offenders shall 

 be made such examples of, as to deter for one while others 

 from following in their footsteps. In place of being so ever- 

 lastingly good-natured, let them be cross and disagreeable 

 for a "while. In place of letting offenders go because they 

 are "good fellows," let them put a few knaves in the pillory 

 of public scorn and contempt that they have let down on 

 their shanks. Nothing it can do will so surely elevate the 

 A. K. C. in public estimation as an ornament "to American 

 dog affpirs. Of course, it must not be understood that 1 

 lump all the parties to the cases I have named in one lot. 

 Of the Sans Souci case I know very little positively; in the 

 Sensation case I strove to have the A. K. C. take it up, 

 decide that the entry was irregular, but that the manifold 

 confusions that "construction" had left on this subject, the 

 contradictory decisions of the N. E. K. C, and the fact that 

 the dog had no competitors, so that no one was w T ronged, and 

 its having been clone openly, without deceit, made it exped- 

 ient to dismiss the case as unworthy of further "ensideration. 

 What I complain of in this case, is that the A. K. C. still has 

 the W. K. C. on trial, and decides nothing. W. Wade.

A LARGE ST. BERNARD PUPPY.— Newburyport, Jan. 

 15. — Having read in your issue of Jan. 13 a notice of a St. 

 Bernai d puppy ten months old, and thinking my puppy to 

 be very large of his age, would like to know if any one has a 

 larger one of the same age. I send his measurements. 

 Erlking (A.K.R. 4423), whelped July i, 18S6, weighs 881bs., 

 standing 29in. at shoulders and measuring 67in, from nose 

 to tip of tail. Ilis head is 22in. round the skull, muzzle llin. 

 and mis chest girths 33in. Ilis forearm measures 17in., and 

 alove the first joint it is lOKin.— Chas. Wills. 



DOG AND GAME PROTECTION SOCIETY. — At a meet-

ACCIDENTALLY POISONED— Harrisburg, Pa., Jan. 

 11.- My setter dog Prince (A.K.R. 1058) died last night of 

 poisoning, accidentally picked up, I think. This is the 

 second setter I lost within twelve months from same cause, 

 Theron (A.K.R. 715) having died Jan. 14, 1SS6. Prince was 

 three years old Dec. 20, 1886, and was such an excellent ruffed 

 grouse dog that money would not have induced me to part 

 with him. AlasI "I've seen my fondest hopes decay."—
