trout were formerly numerous, and of unequalled excellence 

 in the lake and are now practically extinct, there is a splen- 

 did opportunity to test whether the lake can be restocked 

 with this finest of all fresb-water fish. Their disappearance 

 is attributed to the ravages of pickerel, but as this latter 

 fish is much scarcer than formerly, it is believed that red 

 trout can be made pleutif al again. It is hoped that those 

 having Lake George fish-planting in charge will make an 

 experiment this winter in that direction. The water in the 

 lake is now seven inches above, the standard adopted at last 

 fall's conference between Lake George property-owners and 

 Ticonderoga water-power proprietors, but this is owiog to 

 the constant and heavy rains of the fall and winter. It is 

 learned that the mill owners have made all the changes in 

 the dam agreed at the conference, and there is no apprehen- 

 sion of a recurrence next spring of the high water which was 

 the cause of so much uneasiness and ill-feeling last year." 

 [The lake trout has demonstrated its ability to live and 

 thrive in waters inhabited by pickerel and other members of 

 the pike family. We are not sure, however, that Esox is the 

 genus referred' to by those who speak of the pickerel in Lake 

 George. We are aware that species of this genus are found 

 in the lake, but the pike-perch, Stizostedion, is also called 

 pickerel bv many persons and may be the slayer of the red 

 tront. Lake- trout will hold their own against all other 

 fishes inhabiting the same waters and the project of plant- 

 ing a half million of the fry in Lake George through the 

 efforts of Gen. R. L. Banks is wise and will probably pro- 

 duce good results. We should like to see, also, a lot of 

 yearlings of the same species used for stocking the lake, but 

 not at the same time with the fry.] 



LOCH LBVEN TROUT FOR PENNSYLVANIA,— Wash- 

 ington, Feb, 1.— Mr. James V. Long, of Pittsburgh, Com- 

 missioner of Fisheries of Pennsylvania, has just completed 

 arrangements with Hon. Marshall McDonald, of the TJuited 

 States Fish Commission, for transferring an allotment of 

 Loch Leven trout from the Government station at North- 

 ville, Mich., to the western hatchery in Pennsylvania. The 

 United States Fish Commission imported a large lot of these 

 popular and delicious fish from Scotland within the last 

 year, and their introduction and growth in the States will bo 

 watched Avith interest. Mr. Long is quite an enthusiast 

 regarding the successful work of the Pennsylvania Commis- 

 sion, and is bound to have all the good things that may be 

 obtaiued from the Government for the fisheries department 

 of his native State.

THE PITTSBURGH BENCH SHOW. 



LBy a Special Reporter.] 



^pHE fourteenth annual bench show of the Western Penn- 

 X sylvania Poultry Society, held at the Grand Central 

 Skating Rink from Jan. 29 to Feb. 1, proved a financial suc- 

 cess, as the attendance was exceedingly good. This goes to 

 show that Pittsburgh will make any good show started out 

 properly a paying undertaking. The entries numbered 284 

 and were of a general good quality. Mr. J. M. Tajdor 

 judged pointers and setters, while 'Mr. John H. Naylor 

 handled the remaining classes in his honest, conscientious 

 and capable manner. The dissatisfied exhibitors were as 

 usual present in goodly numbers. As to the actions of the 

 officials of the society during the show I do not desire to say 

 anything in this report, as abler pens than my own will 

 undoubtedly ventilate that matter thoroughly. 



The mastiff classes were well filled. Wacbuta Nap was 

 absent. Moses, well known, won in the open dog class. 

 Duke should have been secoud as he was clearly the best in 

 the class excepting the first prize winner. The second and 

 third winners are poor-headed animals. In the bitch class 

 Hertha won. We preferred Emma for the place. The 

 former is of better size, which we, think accounts for her 

 being placed over the latter. The puppy class was properly 

 handled. 



The St. Bernards we thought correctly placed. Meinrod 

 is a good fronted dog, but lacks behind. The owner of Don 

 Juan gave vent to his dissatisfaction at the judge's decision 

 in a challenge in one of the daily papers to show his dog 

 against Meinrad for $1,000 at the forthcoming New York 

 show, and Mr. Stucky, owner of Meinrad, has in a very 

 manly reply to this challenge, agreed to show his dog against 

 Mr. Newelf's dog at the New York show for a reasonable 

 sum, and it now only remains for Mr. Newell to accept his 

 proposition or to be. classed as a '"bluffer." 



The Hornell-Harmony Kennels' greyhounds were the 

 feature of these classes. Hazelhurst justly received the 

 award in the dog class and Harmony proved an easy winner 

 in the bitch class, with Kate, a very" good headed bitch but 

 possessed of bad quarters, second. 



Pointers were of excellent quality. Lord Graphic in my 

 opinion was fully as good as the winner of first. In light 

 weights Rex won in dogs and Lady Smoke, a very good 

 black bitch, in the corresponding bitch class. The puppy 

 classes contained a number of most promising youngstei-s, 

 some of which will be heard from again. 

 « Paul Gladstone was unopposed in the champion English 

 setter class, and added another to his loug list of winnings, 

 He carries his age well, but was not in the best of condition. 

 The open dog class brought out the winner iu Lindo, a fine 

 young dog, who is bound to make his mark on the bench. 

 Gladstone II., the winner of second, we did not like for the 

 place, as he is off in head. Brandy Boy, a very useful look- 

 ing dog, and Count Hendricks should have been placed 

 higher. In the bitch class we considered the second winner 

 as good as any in the class. The winner of first is a very 



fair bitch. Bess B. should have gone higher, and Lou was 

 worthy of a letter or two. Blink Bonny was by long odds 

 the best one of the puppies and ought to make a fine bitch. 



In the black ffitia tan setters Little Roy beat Don, and 

 Roxie beat Rose in the corresponding bitch class. In the 

 open doe class we thought Fred the equal of any in the 

 class. This was a good class. The bitches and puppies were 

 properly placed. 



Blarney and Mollie Bawn were alone in the champisn 

 Irish setter classes. Dick Swiveller we liked better for sec- 

 ond place than Red Biz. In bitches and puppies the Kil- 

 dare Kennels had it all their own way with a splendid 

 trio. 



Spaniels were represented in Irish water spaniels by three 

 entries, of which Patsy O'Connor was clearly the best. 

 Spaniels over 381bs., other than black, contained but one 

 entry, a fair specimen. The under 281bs. classes contained 

 two "corking good ones in Dick and Horuell Velda. The 

 black spaniels over 281bs. were represented by a long-legged 

 black setter, and the judge properly with held prizes. In the 

 under 28lbs. class, Hornell Silk won iu the dog, and Hornell 

 Martha iu the bitch class. Venus, a very good puppy, not 

 right in head, received the award in the puppy class. 



Foxhounds were quite a strong but motley lot. With the 

 exception of two or three, all were of the American type. 

 Lend and Jack, winners of first and second^ were the best of 

 this type, and ww-e properly placed. The first honor in the 

 bitch class should have gone to Queen, a very good young 

 bitch of the English type. Puppies were properly placed. 



Beagles were a fine' lot indeed. Fitzhugh Lee was alone 

 in the champion dog class, and Maybelle II. beat Lou in 

 the corresponding bitch class. Neither of the two was in 

 the best condition, but Maybelle II. had the best of it. Lou 

 being excessively fat. Lou' is better in muzzle and probably 

 not quite so throaty, but in all other respects Maybelle II,, 

 with ber abundance of Rowett quality, is clearly ahead of 

 her. The opeu dog class broght out two splendid dogs in 

 Royal Krueger and Racket II. To place the winner of 

 second over the latter-named dog was a decided mistake. 

 Racket I f. will be .heard from again. Royal Krueger is too 

 well kuown to need auy description. He is a hard one to 

 beat. The winner in the bitch class deserved the award, but 

 is not right in head or body. The second winner is a fair 

 little one, The third winner, catalogued as Elf, we could 

 not find. F.tf is well kuown to us, as is also the bitch we 

 found in her place. Here was a g»od chance for a just pro- 

 test, but none of the exhibitors seemed to be aware of the 

 imposition. The only entry in the dng puppy class proved 

 oversized. The winning bitch puppy is a stylish one and 

 built like a goer; should bring some good ones properly 

 mated, but promises to be over the limit in height when 

 fullv developed. Mr. Krueger, the superintendent, had a 

 splendid pack of seven of his beagles entered for exhibition 

 only. They were in good condition and a workmanlike- 

 looking lot, and attracted considerable attention. 



In dachshunde the Pittsburgher Klockc had it all his own 

 way with his string. Feldman K. is deficient in crook and 

 body, otherwise a very good one. Lina L. is well known. 

 Fritz K. promises to make a better one than than the win- 

 ner in the. open dog class, but his tan markings are imper- 

 fect. Wally K. II. will be heard from again. 



Fox-terriers were a small class. The winner is not a first 

 rater. 



Nullamore won in the champion collie, dog class and Ron- 

 nie Brae in the corresponding bitch class. How this bitch 

 ever got into that class I do hot know. She certainly is not 

 a first rater. Prince was a good first in the open dog class, 

 with Rob Roy, Jr., a small dog not in the best of coat, second. 

 The others with the exception of the winning puppy were a 

 poor lot. 



Bull-terriers were not a strong lot. The Baron, well 

 known, was the winner in the open dog class, and Royal 

 Rose, a rattling good one, but sadly out of condition, in the. 

 bitch class. Bulldogs had but one entry, a poor specimen. 



Black and tan terriers over nibs, brought out a good ®ne 

 in the winner iu the open dog class, and one of the best we 

 have seen in the corresponding bitch class. In the under 

 5Ibs. class the winner in dogs is a fair specimen, but the 

 winner in the bitch class proved a better one. Dennis, the 

 winner in the Irish terrier dog class, is well known. The 

 two entries in the bitch class were unworthy of any place. 

 The only entry in the Italian greyhounds was a fair one. 

 Prizes in the rough-coated and Yorkshire terrier classes 

 were withheld. The winners in the Blenheim spaniel class 

 arc well known and good specimens. King Charles spaniels 

 had only two entries, with little difference between them. 

 The only entry in the Prince Charles class was sadly out of 

 conditio'n, and prizes should have been withheld. Pugs 

 were a fine lot and were properly placed. Chesapeake Bay 

 dogs contained two mongrels, neither of which were worthy 

 of any mention. In the miscellaneous class, as a matter of 

 course, Sir Lucifer bobbed up the winner, with a very good 

 specimen' of a basset second. Following is the list of

"SALISBURY'S PEDIGREE." — Editor Forest and 

 Stream: Writing of the mastiff judging at Dundee, Mr. 

 Wade states that "The judges of mastiffs were Hugh Dalziel 

 and, I think, Rawdon B. Lee: Dalziel held for Salisbury 

 and the other judge for Cardinal, and a third was called in 

 who gave it to Salisbury." The judges were Mr. Hugh 

 Dalziel and Mr. Vero Shaw, the latter a bosom friend of Mr. 

 Taunton, the owner of Cardinal. The Stock-Keeper's re- 

 port was as follows: "Twenty-four mastiffs make a large 

 class for a Scotch show, even when the sexes are mixed, and 

 the quality here was very good indeed. The renowned Salis- 

 bury, although suffering from temporary illness, is possessed 

 of such undeniable mastiff properties, such grand propor- 

 tions and so good throughout, and especially in his loins 

 and hindquarters, where so many otherwise good dogs fail, 

 that despite his invalid look, we thought he far surpassed 

 all opponents, even Cardinal, whose really magnificent head 

 and front will always command admirers; but he falls off a 

 good deal in loin and hindquarters. The judges could not 

 agree as to which of these should be first, and they were put 

 aside until the afternoon, when Mr. Bawdon B. Lee kindly 

 consented to act as umpire, and after a very careful examin- 

 ation of the competitors gave his fiat in favor of Mr. C. H. 

 Mason's great Salisbury."— CHAS. H. Mason.
