A SKY TERROR,— The Portland (Conn.) Record records; 

 A very large bird of prey, supposed to be of a species of 

 eagle, was seen in Pacousett last Saturday. It sailed over- 

 head with quite a large dog alive in its claws, and alighted 

 near the small pond. Being frightened, the eagle let go of 

 the dog, which went limping across the meadows, while the 

 eagle sailed northward, casting a shadow as it passed over 

 (as an eye-witness says) "like that of a small tree." The bird 

 was seen by Edward Markham, Edward Button, and Mrs. 

 Hall and daughter, also by several children. All were con- 

 siderably excited, and say that it "was an immense fellow 

 and could have carried oft a child as easily as it did the dog." 

 It was seen in the same neighborhood the next day. 



FOX-TERRIERS AT PITTSBURGH.— Blemton Ken- 

 nels, Hempstead, L. L, April 25.— Editor Forest and 

 Stream: My attention has been called to your reporter's 

 comments on an article appearing in one of your contempor- 

 aries re the fox-terriers Richmond Olive and Safety, and 

 taking an unwarranted liberty in using mv name in con- 

 nection therewith, as also accusing me of prejudiced state- 

 ments and criticism. I beg to say I know nothing of there- 

 port in question nor have I seen it; he had better try back, 

 as he has overrun the scent this time. Trusting to your well- 

 known sense of fair play to give this contradiction the same 

 publicity as the false accusation. — German Hopkins. 



WEIGHT OF SPANIELS. —Warren , R. t, April 23.- 

 Edttor Forest and Stream: I am sorry that I cannot testify 

 as to the weight of Miss Newton Obo. In regard to Black 

 Pete I am solid. Having been connected with the "musicale" 

 at our Providence show, about dog weights, I felt a lively 

 interest in the subject, and as I stood comparing Pete with a 

 "dog that varies in weight," I asked Willey how much Pete 

 weighed. He told me to weigh him. I did so, and found he 

 balanced the beam at just 271bs. — no more and no less. I did 

 not remove his collar nor unhitch the chain. That was just 

 previous to the judging. Am sorrv I did not weigh the 

 bitch. Mr. Willey returned home" immediately after the 

 judging, and for the remainder of the week I had a care over 

 his dogs, and shipped them to him on Saturday, directed to 

 Salmon Falls, not to Boston; and what possible excuse the 

 express company can give for landing that box in that 

 cellar (or basement), is more than I can conceive. If they 

 had not been entered at Boston they might have remained 

 there a whole week, unless Mr. Wiliey had hunted them up. 

 I call it a piece of rank carelessness on the part of the ex- 

 press company, and trust they will dig open their eyes in the 

 future, and not carry all dogs to one place because the ma- 

 jority of boxes are so directed. No member of the Ameri- 

 can Spaniel Club, nor any spaniel man, that knows J. P. 

 Willey, will believe him guilty of misstating the weight of 

 his dog. If Miss Newton Obo was under weight at Boston, 

 who can wonder. No provision was made for the care of his 

 dogs from Saturday until Tuesday, because Mr. W. expected 

 them to arrive at Salmon Falls by Saturday night, instead 

 of staying four in a box three days in a cellar, unfed and 

 unwatered. Miss Newton Obo was one of the four. Does 

 any one wonder if she lost flesh S 1 If any one doubted the 

 weight of these dogs why did they not complain the day of 

 judging, and not wait till the last gun was fired, and then 

 start in? I am not prejudiced in my writing, and have met 

 Mr. Willey but three times, but I dislike a post "mortem."— 

 Chas. S. Davol. 



GREYHOUNDS AT PHILADELPHIA. — New York, 

 April 25.— Editor Forest and Stream: I inclose you a copy 

 of protest made against C. D. Webber's greyhounds at 

 Philadelphia last week, and hope you will give* it space in 

 this week's issue of your paper. — H. W. Huntington. 

 Philadelphia Kennel Club.— Gentlemen: I wish to enter 

 a protest against all awards of D. C. Webber's greyhounds 

 at your show, and especially in the champion greyhound dog 

 class. He enters Pembroke in the champion class. How 

 does he get there when two weeks ago he was entered in the 

 open class at Boston and took third prize to my Balkis's 

 first? The dog was not eligible ashewas absent from Pitts- 

 burgh, the only show held since Boston by a member of the 

 A.K.C. He is clearly not entitled to the award under Rule 

 7, as in the event of the Boston entry being fraudulent the 

 owner would be disqualified as "guilty of misconduct," and 

 consequently ineligible to exhibit at any show given by a 

 member of the A.K.C. In the puppy class he substituted 

 one dog for another, which act I characterize as contempti- 

 ble and ungentlemanly, to use the mildest terms. He has, 

 consequently, made himself doubly amenable to Rule 17, 

 which I shall do all in my power to have enforced. Such a 

 gross insult and indignity to your club, and lovers of dogs 

 in general. I feel sure will be justly dealt with, and that by 

 enforcing Rule 17 you will disqualify all dogs shown by him, 

 thus protecting yourselves and exhibitors from similar sharp 

 practices in the future. In case he has already received the 

 awards of money, medals, etc., he should not be allowed to 

 follow the dangerous precedent adopted bytheW.K.C. at 

 Boston two years ago, but be made to disgorge. The un- 

 righted evil has borne its fruit at last. Believing I have 

 your hearty cooperation in putting a stop to all such dis- 

 reputable practices, and that full justice will be meted out 

 by you, I have the pleasure to subscribe myself, fraternally 

 yours, H. W. Huntington. 



WHISK BRUSH MASSAGE.— South Woodstock, Conn. 

 — Editor Forest and St ream: Please accept my very warm 

 thanks for your most kind favor of 7th inst., duly received. 

 The little terrier is better, apparently well, frolicking and 

 with good appetite, although his nose is dry too much of the 

 time, I fear. Your prescription must surely be excellent. 

 Again, thanks. 1 have an item from my own experience 

 which may possibly interest you and help some one in 

 trouble similar to that I once had. A little black and tan 

 terrier which I owned was suddenly attacked with complete 

 paralysis of the hindlegs, they looked as if they only hung 

 to him by the skin, and the legs entirely useless and dragging 

 after him as he attempted to move; a most pitiable sight. 

 The little fellow was only a few months old, a choice 

 thoroughbred, but I could find no one and no book to help 

 me, and dared not delay long in doing something. I con- 

 cluded the trouble must arise from over-feeding and lack of 

 exercise, so commenced a strict diet (though I feared he 

 would starve to death, he was so dainty), and taking a short, 

 very stiff wbisk brush, I commenced brushing him briskly 

 down the spine and hindlegs especially, though rubbing the 

 whole body some too. I used all my strength and followed 

 up this course for several hours each day, and for some six 

 weeks or more. He rewarded me by living until almost his 

 seventeenth birthday, and was a healthy, happy doggie 

 through all these years, dying at last of old age.— Pet Lovek. 



PATTI M.— Cleveland, O., April 28.— Editor] Forest and 

 Stream: Fair and unprejudiced oriticism by a reputable 

 journal like the Forest and Stream of dogs exhibited at 

 bench shows is never feared by those interested, but when a 

 reporter's statements are so far from the truth as Mr, 

 Mason's, in saying What he has in regard to the pointer 

 bitch Patti M. in his report of the Pittsburgh show, it is 

 time to protest against such criticism. The record of Patti 

 M. on the bench, as winner of fourteen prizes, under Major 

 Taylor and Mr, John Davidson, defeating such dogs as 

 champions Vanity, King Bow, Robin Adair, Nick of Naso, 

 Lady Croxteth and others, who have many times been pro- 

 nounced good ones by the Forest and Stream, refutes Mr. 

 Mason's opinion of this bitch. That she has her faults I 

 admit. Show me one that has not; but when Mr. Mason 

 says that she is a second rater, it convinces me, if he means 

 what he writes, that his judgment of pointers should never 

 be sought by breeders. The owner of Patti M., who will- 

 ingly exhibits her at shows under any judge, has never 

 found it necessary to placard her stall with the information 

 that she is a pointer, as Beaufort's owner had to do at New 

 York, after suffering defeat by Meteor and Croxteth.— C.

A FAMOUS HOUND.— Oxford, Me., April 18.— In read- 

 ing the Forest and Stream recently I saw the article 

 about the Worcester fox hunt, Among the hounds used in 

 this huut was the foxhound Jumbo, the property of Mr. 

 Jacobs. This dog was originally owned by the Edwards 

 Bros, of Oxford, Me., and was one of the most celebrated 

 dogs at that time in Oxford county. Articles respecting 

 this dog's hunting qualities were published in all the lead- 

 ing papers, and a description of him appeared in the Forest 

 and Stream under the heading of "Old-Fashioned Fox 

 Hunts." This description was published some time during 

 the month of February, 1883. One time during a hunting 

 expedition, the hunters were met by an old fox-hunter, some 

 sixty odd years of age. After looking at the dog a while, 

 and seemingly surveying his huge proportions, he at length 

 said, "I have hunted foxes for forty years, but this is the 

 first time I ever saw foxes chased by a two year old bull."—
