DARKEY. 



Editor Forest and Stream: 



S have been smiling all the afternoon at Mr. Mason's de- 

 scription of my spaniel Darkey, exhibited at the Buffalo show. 

 ! always knew he was not a faultless dog, but if he is bad in 

 all the places which Mr. Mason points out, I should say he 

 'is the very worst sort of dog that ever was on a chain, and. 

 with all the faulty which are pointed out by Mr. Mason, he 

 missed the very worst, and that is, that his ears are placed 

 too high and are not of sufficient length. I hope Mr. M. 

 will correct this in his book. 



The description reads thus: 



First— '-Skull too short and full and cheeky" (for size of 

 dog 1 think he has length enough of head). 



Second — "Muzzle lacking in depth and squareness" (I have 

 never seen a square muzzle on a spauiel) 



Third — "Neck not quite clean (If this means throatiness, 

 Darkey has none, but has lots of frill). 



Fourth— "Ribs too flat and body too short" (I deny he has 

 flat ribs, body is rather short). 



Fifth — "Neither body nor loin round enough" (What this 

 means I don't know. 1 know Darkey was rather thin as he 

 has been running all winter without any care, which also 

 accounts for his coat being a, bit rough.) 



Sixth— "Too narrow in front, forelegs too long, light, in bone, 

 uot quite straight, feet small and turned out, elbows not 

 well placed." (From this description J should imagine (hat 

 he must have front legs something like an Irish shallalagh. 

 the more twists in it the straighter it becomes and the better 

 it is liked. "Coat too early about neck and loins. (It is cer- 

 tainly wavy just now. but that is accounted for by want of 

 care, as he has slept out in an open kennel all winter and 

 followed the horses every day. 



If Darkey had not won n rider other judges, I think after 

 reading this description of him 1 should give him away. What 

 must the other nine entries in this class look like? if is very 

 well for their owners that they did not come into the money 

 or there would have been nothing left of them at all worth 

 taking home. 



I am not writing this in any cavilling spirit, but just to 

 draw public, attention to the defects of the prize winner, as 

 written down in the judge's note-book. Knowing Mr. Mason, 

 I expect I will hear from him through your columns. "Alas! 

 poor Darkey." J. S. Nivkx.

HARE DOGS. — Linden, March 14.— In issue of March 13 

 "E. F. F." doubts my statement in regard to a beagle's hunt - 

 ing when six months old; nevertheless it is the truth. I do 

 not mean to say that all beagles will hunt at that age, as 

 there are several that 1 know of that are older than his dogs 

 and show no signs of hunting as yet, but I do not think it is 

 the fault of the dogs; they must have a fair chance to learn 

 or they certainly will not hunt at six months. I take my 

 puppies out with the old dogs after they are four month's 

 old, on moonlight nights, and let them hear the old 

 ones drive an hour or so, and after they have been out a few 

 rimes that way they are anxious to know what it all menus, 

 and if they are good ones they will go at six or seven months. 

 "E. F. F." must uot gee discouraged, but keep taking his 

 puppies nut, and in all probability they will be all right 

 when the season opens again. I had a foxhound a few years 

 ago that never showed any signs of hunting until after he 

 was two years old, but when he did take hold it required a 

 pretty good one to beat him. My puppies give tongue at five 

 mouths. That, is where the best part of the fun comes in; 

 and I know of no better music than to stand and hear the 

 little fellows wheu they get a good hot scent; and a man 

 that can't enjoy that kind of sport is hard to please. My 

 dogs have run down rabbits several times this season and 1 

 have seen it done by Mr. A. Parry's and by Mr. George 

 Jones's beagles, both of this place; so mine are no bet- 

 ter than lots of others; but I do not think a dog can run 

 one down on bare ground by any means unless it is 

 wounded. It has always been done in snow from gin. to 

 I'iin. deep. I have been out this winter in snow from Bin. to 

 15in, deep, and have never had any trouble about my dogs' 

 ability to get through it. notwithstanding that your'corres- 

 pendent "Brush" from Canada says, "with snow from loin, 

 to 18in. a beagle will soon come to heel and follow the path 

 you make;" it has not been my experience. When there is 

 too much snow for my beagles* there is too much for me. I 

 have a bitch that will whelp in a few days, and in six months 

 from now I would like to have "E. F. F." come and see me 

 some fine moonlight night in September or October, and I 

 will show whether a pup six months old will hunt or not, 

 There are two bench show dogs owned here a little over a 

 year old, sired by champion Little Duke out of a first-class 

 bitch, and 1 would not ask for two better dogs for hunters 

 than they are turning out to be: they will hunt from day- 

 light until dark if necessary. If "E. F. F." wishes to see 

 some good stock in the beagle line he should visit the dog 

 show at Boston in April next, where there, will be the best 

 exhibit of them ever seen in Boston. — W. S. Ci.ABE. 



CURRENT NOTES.— A dog's real worth comes out at a 

 dog show. Mr. John E. Thayer's entries at the Boston show 

 are put down in the catalogue at valuations which sum up a 

 total of more than $125,000. "Porcupine" utters a plaint in 

 the Sfmrtin<i Life because the dogs at the Buffalo show were 

 put down at a paltry million. As "Porcupine" hail a prize 

 winner there, perhaps he thinks it ought to have been two 



millions In the event of a dog show by the Pacific Kennel 



Club at San Francisco next fall, we understand that several 

 prominent Eastern breeders will send some of their best 

 specimens to compete for the valuable kennel prizes that 

 will undoubtedly be offered. The president of the club, Col. 

 Stuart Taylor, has recently been elected president of the 

 Occidental Coursing Club. 



AW 7 ARDS AT SHOWS. — New Haven, Conn. Editor 

 FoT&si and Stream: I would suggest to the manager's of 

 the coming bench shows the advisability of having some 

 official list of awards published. If the clubs do not care to 

 go to the expense and trouble of having the awards printed 

 in on the margin of the catalogue, a good way is to have an 

 extra page planted with the awards complete. This can 

 easily be bound in with the rest of the catalogue on the 

 second day of the show, and would not only greatly increase 

 the value of the book, but give a list, of the awards which 

 can be relied upon. This is done at a great many of the 

 English shows.— E. S. Portek. 



DISGORGED FOOD.— Bismarck, Dak., March 10.— Edi- 

 tor Forest ami Stream: Did you ever hear of a bitch feeding 

 her pups in the following peculiar Way? Twice each day on 



foing home from my office, I let her into the stable, she 

 aving been fed by all the neighbors, who all know Flo and 

 like her. She immediately disgorges from a pint to a quart 

 of what she has eaten. The pups expect it and jump for 

 her mouth as soon as she enters. They are six weeks old, 

 and the bitch seems to have but little milk. This she does 

 twice each day. I have watched her for ten days. — W. H. 

 Williamson. [This is not an uuusual habit with" dogs; and 

 it is the customary mode of feeding young with some birds 

 and other animals.] 



A violent cough continued through the winter often brings 

 consumption in the spring. Soothe and tone the irritated arid 

 weakened lungs with Hale's Honey of Horehound and Tar. and 

 the cough yields and the danger disappears, Pike's Toothache 

 Drops cure in one minute.— Adv.
