DON CONSULTS THE DOCTOR. 



PHILADELPHIA, May 24.— Editor Forest and Stream: 

 Herewith I send you an account of an interesting inci- 

 dent illustrating the marvelous instincts of the canine spe- 

 cies. I can vouch for the reliability of the statements marie 

 by the writer of the letter. — C. A. Kingsbury. 



Philadelphia. May 15. — Dear Doctor: Last Friday (May 

 13) I went to New Hope, Bucks county, Pennsylvania, to 

 visit Dr. Richard C. Foulke. He met me at the station, and 

 on reaching his house we were met at the door by two dogs, 

 who were waiting for us. one belonging to the doctor, the 

 other, a short-haired pointer called Don, belonging to a 

 neighbor. Mrs. Foulke, the doctor's mother, met us at the 

 front door, into which Don pressed in such a marked way as 

 to cause her to remark: "Why, Don! what are you coming 

 in for?" The doctor's dog remained outside. Don followed 

 us into the sitting-room, where Mrs. Foulke and I sat down, 

 while the doctor remained standing, talking to us, but tak- 

 ing no notice of the dog, who was standing directly in front 

 of him and looking up into his face. After the dog' had been 

 standing this way for some time and no one noticing him, he 

 held out his left foot as if to shake hands with the doctor, 

 who was still talking. This movement of Don attracted the 

 attention of Mrs. Foulke, who remarked to the doctor, 

 '■What makes Don hold up his foot to you? He wants you 

 to examine it. He may have something in it." At this re- 

 mark Don stood on his hind feet, placed his front feet on 

 the doctor's chest, looking directly at him, and held out bis 

 left foot, which the doctor took in his hand and turned it 

 over, saying: "No wonder he wants me to look at it! See 

 here." There was a long, rusty pin, which had run some 

 distance into the poor dog's foot. After the doctor took the 

 pin out of the flesh the dog remained in the same position 

 on his hind legs and began to gently lick the doctor's hand 

 till I called him and said: "Come here, Don, and let me see 

 your foot," when he came to me, put both feet in my lap 

 and stood there while I examined his foot. Did Don tell the 

 doctor's dog about his foot, and learn from him that his 

 master could cure it? 



I make this statement of facts at your request while fresh 

 in my mind. Rout. R. Corson. 



JIMMIE GOES TO ENGLAND.— Jersey City, N. Y.— 

 Editor Forest and Stream: I have concluded to send my old 

 pointer Jimmie to the Jubilee show, to be held next month 

 in Crystal Palace, London. Jimmie is a Yankee pointer and 

 I believe he will be appreciated by the English. I also 

 think that I will have the influence of Her" Majesty, the 

 Queen, because Mr. Mason, who is considered the English 

 representative of dogs in this country, in one of his reports 

 said that "Jimmie was a brown dog with yellow eyes, and 

 I am informod that the Queen is very fond of everything 

 that is brown, so I hope to have her influence with the 

 judge. I will tack an American flag to his box and put in a 

 few trade dollars and send him on his way.— C. J. Peshall. 



DOG POISONING.— Lynn. Mass., May 28.— In the town of 

 Stoneham, some nine miles from this place, the dog fiend is 

 at large, and is committing destruction by the wholesale in 

 the ranks of the noble brutes. While on business in Stone- 

 ham for a few hours yesterday, I was informed by reliable 

 gentlemen that thirty-seven dogs have been poisoned in the 

 past two or three weeks. So determined has the fiend been 

 to accomplish his ends, that crackers with the poison on them 

 have been picked up on the streets and even from school 

 house yards. The authorities of the town have offered a re- 

 ward of S500 for the conviction of the poisoner, but such in- 

 ducements have failed to find the guilty ones as yet.— R. L. 



BEAGLES AT NEW HAVEN. — Editor Forest and 

 Stream: Mr. Mason in his reports of shows often states that 

 a dog was beaten on the condition it happened to be in at the 

 stated, time. The same is necessarily an admission that, in 

 his opinion, it is mere guesswork or a lottery to compare a 

 dog as seen at one time with another dog is seen at another 

 time and pretend to rate their comparative values, and it 

 necessarily follows that he must consider such newspaper 

 criticisms as not a criterion of the relative value of the dogs 

 so criticised. Mr. Aldrich recently showed how Mr. Mason 

 critically examined and criticised two Irish setters at the late 

 Philadelphia, show, one of which was the. whole time in Mr. 

 Aldrich's kennels at Providence. In your criticisms of the 



vidual opinions. Mr. Mason, who refuses to judge beaeles 

 or American foxhounds at shows, as he does not considering 

 experience with the breeds warrants it, criticises Trailer and 

 other hounds in the show, giving their comparative stand- 

 ing. Now, the facts of the case are: Trailer was a very sick 

 hoxiud and was withdrawn from the show before Mr. Mason's 

 arrival, and as a result he never saw him at the show at all; 

 and when he. was being compared with the other hounds he 

 lay sick in my kennel, under the care of Dr. Glover, or he 

 certainly was at least on the way there. As Mr. Mason 

 would have had my hound placed lower than he was, justice 

 to my hound calls for the above, particularly as I have'shown 

 above that his own writings show it is not* a proper way to 

 judge a dog. much less to unfavorably criticise him. My 

 reference to Mr. Mason's judging beagles and American fox- 

 hounds is not given as a personal insinuation, but as a 

 necessary reply to his comments on my hound, particularly 

 stated as his opinions, as I certainly think it is better to pur- 

 sue such a course about judging 'than to do as some do, 

 accept when not at all competent, and thereby do some an 

 injustice by the natural result of improper awards.— Herm. 

 F. Schellhass (Brooklyn, N. Y.). 



AMERICAN FIELD TRIAL CLUB DERBY. — Cincin- 

 nati, O., May 25. — Editor Forest and Stream: In the pub- 

 lication of the entries for the Derby of 1887 the entries of 

 Graphic III., Donald IV., Fashion, Frivolity, Miss Glee and 

 Master Brackett should have read by the Graphic Kennels, 

 as it was their entry and not J. L. Anthony's.— C. W. PARIS 

 (Sec, a»d Treas.). 



GREYHOUNDS AT PHILADELPHIA. - New York, 

 May 24.— Editor Forest and Stream: When 1 became an 

 exhibitor of greyhounds I least expected to be called upon 

 to enter into newspaper controversy as the present one. If 

 Mr. Huntington desires to continue he must excuse me from 

 replying, as my time is too busily engaged at present. As to 

 the Philadelphia entry I have stated my case, and can only 

 say that three members were present to decide the questiom 

 and not one servant. As to the Boston entry. I can say that 

 I did not know that Memnon was entered, nor did 1 know 

 what dogs were in the open class, as I did not attend the 

 show in person. Regarding the question of best dog he 

 certainly does not agree wth other judges when he calls 

 Memnon a better dog than Mother Demdike. Lancashire 

 Witch beats Memnon, andMother Demdike beats Lancashire 

 Witch and Memnon in England and America; also all the 

 noted dogs in England, including Sister Mary, Acalia, Rose 

 Marie and Destructive, and is pronounced by the press to be 

 the most perfect greyhound living. I also remember an 

 advertisement in the Forest and Stream in which Mr. H. 

 calls Mother Demdike England's champion (very strange). 

 I admit Mother Demdike has been beaten by Mr. H.'s dogs 

 when not in condition, but she in return has also won from 

 the same dogs. I do not care to go f urther into this subject, 

 but can only say that my dogs are on exhibition in shows 

 held for the purpose to demonstrate which is the better 

 animal. I therefore deem it needless to accept his propo- 

 sition. As to Messrs. Charles's letters, these are for business 

 and for the sale of dogs, and do not judge them, and can 

 only say that my esteemed friend, Mr. Smith, purchased the 

 best bitch that Messrs. Charles ever bred. With these re- 

 marks I sincerely trust to be excused from further writine. 

 — Chas. D. Webber.

A Five Hundred Pound Turtle.— Sanner Brothers, com- 

 mission merchants, received yesterday one of the largest, if 

 not the largest turtle ever shipped to this city. It is one of 

 the trunk -back species and weighs about 500 pounds. It was 

 caught Tuesday at Gloucester Point, York River. The tur- 

 tle became entangled in some nets running out from the 

 shore and could not free itself. It was hauled in by ropes. 

 About a dozen men were needed yesterday to put it in a 

 wagon. The Messrs. Sanner had it turned over on its back 

 on the lower floor of their store, where it was viewed 

 by many people. It is said this turtle is the third of its 

 kind ever seen here. It measures nearly seven feet from 

 the head to the tip of the tail. The shell, which is smooth 

 and shaped like a trunk, and not so hard that it will not 

 yield to pressure by the hand, at the broadest part is about 

 three feet wide. The eolor on the back is black, under the 

 belly it is spotted with white. The two immense fin-like ap- 

 pendages growing out on either side near the head, when 

 stretched out measure across nearly seven feet. The fins at 

 the tail are smaller, and the tail is short. The head is very 

 large, and the eyes in keeping with the proportions of the 

 other parts. At the thickest part the head is probably nine 

 inches in diameter. The back resembles black leather or 

 hard rubber. A pure loggerhead turtle is white, but a trunk- 

 head is black. It he is not disposed of soon a tank will be 

 made for the curiosity, where he can have salt water and en- 

 joy a square meal of fish or other food, if he will eat.— Balti- 

 more American,
