CENTRAL FIELD TRIAL CLUB. 



Editor Forest and Stream: 



We will advertise our Derby in next week's issue. As 

 previously stated we ruu a Derby for pointers; also a Derby 

 for setters, with first, second and third places in each stake, 

 and have decided to make the prizes in each S400 to first, 

 $200 to second and 8100 to third, making $1,400 for the two 

 stakes; the winners to be known as the winners of first, 

 second and third in the Setter Derby, and first, second and 

 third in the Pointer Derby, respectively. It will be a con- 

 dition of each stake that the two winners of first must run a 

 heat together and the winner of this heat will be known as 

 the winner of the Derby and receive 8400 additional, inakmg 

 the entire amount, thus far decided on, for the winner of the 

 Derby $SO0. . , A 



The first series of heats will be run to determine what 

 dogs the judees shall select to run in the future series. 

 Every dog will be given ample opportunity to show whatever 

 merit he possesses, no heat can be less than one hour and 

 the judges will prolong the time as much beyond that limit 

 as may be necessary to expel all doubt of the correctness of 

 their decision. After all the dogs have run through the 

 first series, the judges will announce those they have selected 

 to run in the subsequent heats and the names will be drawn 

 to see which will run together, and the usual order of run- 

 ning will be conlinued through the future heats, the beaten 

 dogs being dropped and the winners running together in the 

 next series of heats. In order to bring all dogs to the field 

 in as fresh a condition as possible, we will alternate the run- 

 ning of the stakes— that is, run the setters one day and the 

 pointers the next day— until both stakes are finished. This 

 will give each dog all opportunity possible for rest and, we 

 hope, be the means of bringing them to the field on a keen 

 edge and enable them to show up to the best advantage 

 possible. 



The All-Aged Setter Stake and the All-Aged Pointer 

 Stake will be run on the same plan as the Derby, first, 

 second and third places in each stake. The winner of first 

 in the Setter Stake and the winner of first in t he Pointer 

 Stake will be compelled to run a heat together and the win- 

 ner of this heat will be known as the winner of the All- 

 Aged Stakes. 



Mr. John Davidson and Mr. "Wm. Tallman will judge in 

 all stakes and Col. Arthur Merrirnan will make the third 

 judge in the Pointer Derby, also the All- Aged Pointer Stake. 

 Mr. J. M. Tracv was to have been the third j udge for the 

 Setter Derby and the All- Aged Setter Stakes, but he now 

 finds it will be necessary for him to be absent in Europe. Mr. 

 Tracy is one of our members and, if alive, will be in the 

 field next year. We will endeavor to find a substitute for 

 Mr. Tracy'as judge, that will prove acceptable to all owners 

 and breeders, and will be pleased to have them send the 

 writer names of such gentlemen as will be satisfactory to 

 them. C. H. Odell, Sec'v pro tern.

SOUTHERN FIELD TRIAL CLUB. 



MARIETTA, Ga., March 29.— Editor Forest and Stream: 

 In this week's issue of the sporting press, I see the an- 

 nouncement of Col. Odell, as secretary pro tern, of the Ceu- 

 fcral Field Trial Club, stating that they would hold trials at 

 Lexington, N. C, commencing Dec. 2, 1889. The Southern 

 Field Trial Club, at their annual meeting last December, 

 claimed that date, and so announced it through through 

 the press. We respectfully ask the Central Field Trial 

 Club that they select some other date. The Southern Field 

 Trial Club will hold their trials again this year at Amory, 

 Miss., commencing Dec. 2. The prizes are the largest ever 

 offered in America. Advertisements of same will appear at 

 the proper time. T. M. Brumby, 



Sec'y and Treas. S. F. T. C. 



DOG TALK. 



WE hear that the youngsters of the Memphis and Avent 

 Kennel are doing well, and if nothing befalls them 

 it is expected that they will come out strong in the Derby 

 Stakes this year. It is also rumored that the kennel will 

 have a Chance in some of the All-Aged Stakes. 



The English champion Irish setter Conn II. will arrive in 

 time for Worcester show. He has won several firsts and re- 

 serve, puppy class, at Palace show. 



Kennel owners will do well to read the advertisement in an- 

 other column of the Sherman King Vaporizer Co. The vapor- 

 izer is a handy little invention for disinfecting and purify- 

 ing the air when foul from any cause whatever. In the 

 kennel it will prove of great service, as it is self-acting and 

 its work goes on constantly without requiring any atten- 

 tion. • The initial cost is not great, and after that it can be 

 run at an expense of from twelve to fifteen cents a year. 

 The vaporizer is applicable not alone to kennels, but to sick 

 rooms or any place infected with bad odors or disease. The 

 company will furnish circulars of information on request. 



LORD NEVERSETTLE.— In your issue of the 14th inst. 

 Mr. C. H. Lowe writes: "My latest importation, Lord 

 Neversettle, is by Jester out of Mr. Stone's Squirrel. Jester 

 is the sire of Huic Holloa and many other winners, and is 

 own brother to Paris, sire of Miss Glendyne and Princess 

 Dagmar." This should have been sire of Miss Glendyne 

 and Bit of Fashion, as Princess Dagmar is own sister to 

 Paris, Jester, Pathfinder, Perry Down, Peter, Captain Gill, 

 and sister to Countess Dagmar and Prenez Garde, all being 

 by Ptarmigan out of Gallant Foe. In issue of March 14 

 Mr. D. N. Heizer, of Great Bend, Kan., advertises a most 

 mixed up pedigree of Little Lady Glendyne and Lady Millie 

 Glendyne, as he makes out Lady Glendyne to be both grand- 

 dam and dam, and gives her pedigree in one place Don An- 

 tonio— Meggie Smith; in another by Countryman, dam by 

 Willie Wylie out of Miss Johnson. J ester's pedigree is given 

 in two places as by Contango out of Petronella; but should 

 be by Ptarmigan out of Gallant Foe, Ptarmigan being by 

 Contango out of Petronella. Then below he mentions: 

 "Jester is the youngest surviving son of Gallant Foe." — J. 

 G. Flower. 



OAKHTJRST KENNELS. -Chicago, March 29.— Editor 

 Forest and Stream: H. L. Goodman's connection with the 

 Oakhurst Kennels as superintendent ceased March 26, and 

 he is no longer employed in any capacity. All communica- 

 tions should be addressed to the owner.— R. P. H. Ditrker,

KENNEL MANAGEMENT. 

 jjSP™ No Notice Taken ot Anonymous Correspondents. 



J. D., Ipswich, Mass.— A pug dog 1 year old has a bad cough and 

 it seems as if there was something in his throat. He has along 

 spell of coughing. Ans. Give 3 grains ot quinine night and morn- 

 ing and a teaspoon of syrup of buckthorn every other day. 



B F. W., Brooklyn.— I have a Yorkshire terrier bitch that was 

 born in Septemher, 1880, and is, therefore, over eight years old, 

 but is apparently as strong and healthy as she has over been. 

 She has never been lined, having always been a house pet. Is she 

 too old to be bred to now with satisfactory results? Ans. No, she 

 is not too old. 



C. V. Y., Apnleton-, Wis.— A cocker spaniel 8mos. old has had 

 two large abscesses on lower jaw and neck, caused by distemper, 

 1 suppose. Have had them lanced twice. Will it be desirable to 

 give anv medicine as an alterative, or will he get over it without 

 any further treatment? The first time lanced they discharged 

 freely, but new ones formed within a few days and I feared a 

 continuance of the trouble. Ans. If freely opened they ought to 

 disappear. If the dog is in poor health get Bland's iron pills and 

 give one three times a day concealed in a morsel of meat. 



J. M. Y., Albany, N. Y.— I have an Irish setter, 2 years old, which 

 has has had a very tine, glossy coat; but lately she scratches and 

 bites herself a great deal, and I can pull her hair out in great 

 quantities. She sometimes has a cough and throws up a greenish 

 matter, at other times white and frothy; nose warm most of the 

 time. About a year ago she was in about the same condition. Is 

 it a touch of distemper? Ans. Probably dormatiti or eczema, 

 which is generally accompanied by constitutional symptoms. 

 Give ogrs. of quinine night and morning in pill form for a few 

 days. Use zinc oxide ointment over the inflamed portion of the 

 skin. After a few days give 10 drops of nux vomica twice daily. 



Constant Reader, Fort Assiniboine, Mont.— A pup 8 months 

 old has been very sick for about two months. I gave hi in cod liver 

 oil to break i\is cough and 10 drops of tincture of iron for appetite 

 every day. The sickness worked on him so hard that he has be- 

 come totally blind. I used a receipt that I saw advertised in your 

 paper, and 'he is so now that he can see a little. He has white 

 specks on his eveballs, but I think he will be all right in course 

 of time. What 1 want to know is this: He is very weak, and when 

 he stands he is all the time twitching his hindquarters. When 

 you touch his hindquarters be will crouch down as if in pain. 

 Ans. Give 3grs. of quinine, night and morning. Give 2grs. calo- 

 mel each noontime. Wash the eyes with a solution of ziuc sul- 

 phate, Sgrs. to the ounce, every day, allowing a little to get into 

 the eyes. Keep the bowels regular with syrup of buckthorn in 

 teaspbonful doses. 



THE ATLANTIS AND HER CRUISE. 



INTRODUCTORY— THE BIG SMALL-BO ATS AND THE CANOES. 



A YEAR ago last summer, the big small-boats— the sneak- 

 boxes, cruisers, Philadelphia "tuckups" and the like— had a 

 boom. Notwithstanding ancient prejudices in the A, C. A. and 

 the canoe clubs against such boats, there were men among us 

 who, perhaps because of living near the water and having con- 

 venient moorings, wanted to use a boat in which they could 

 enjoy an afternoon sail with the company of some other fellow, 

 or perhaps of some other fellow's sister, as an additional luxury. 

 Further, if a vigorous calm chanced to strike them a mile or 

 more from shore, they didn't want to drift around in sight of 

 home till the supper was cold and mammas were anxious, on the 

 one hand, nor, on the other, to feel it an offense against the moral 

 law of canoedum to row or paddle home as they pleased. Handy, 

 all-round boats, neither yachts nor canoes, will be popular wher- 

 ever there are good moorings. Such boats afford much fun for 

 Utile work; they are to the yacht as the village cart is to the 

 family carriage. 



For exhilarating exercise commend me to a canoe sail in a stiff 

 breeze; but there are tranquil dispositions that don't want, to be 

 exhilarated. 



My hankering after other fellows' sisters and a disposition that 

 can "endure an arduous amount of rest, as Stoddard used to say, 

 excites in me a keen sympathy for those canoeists who admit an 

 occasional weakness for tne larger boats. How, for instance, I 

 used to envy Drake, down there at the New York Canoe Club, 

 with his comfortable Rushton cruiser, gorgeously carpeted with 

 Smyrna rugs, and furnished with chairs with backs to them, with 



plenty of room aboard to oil around, or even to take a walk to 

 the steward's locker forward where the blankets were kept. Just 

 think of the good canoeists going in for big boats: N. H. Bishop 

 and Dr. Piffard with their Barnegats; Tom Buddington, C. H. 

 Roberts, Kirk Munroe with his Alligator, and this winter in 

 Florida with a big sharpie; W. P. Stephens with his Tomboy and 

 half a ton of lead under his feet and his playful Berl.hon folding 

 Tomcat under his arm; Seavey with his picturesque floating illus- 



Ideal Cruising Association, who had the effrontery to come to the 

 meet last summer with the Goat, a 19ft. canoe that would have 

 been tabooed as a yacht three years ago. 



I remember the time, and I am not one of the old uns either, 

 when the boys would not tolerate any big-boat heresy with the 

 canoes. The line between yachts and canoes was well marked— 

 somewhere around 17ft. length. It is really funny to look back 

 and see how jealous thev were of that line. See this written about 

 the Atlantis by one of the best fellows and one of the most skill- 

 ful canoeists i hat ever swung a spruce blade, and published in the 

 "official organ": "Such a craft is certainly outside the limits fixed 

 hy the American Canoe Association as those of a canoe. * * * 

 She is nothing more nor less than a small yacht, and not such a 

 very small one at that." 



THE ATLANTIS WITH HER FIRST RIG. 



Please don't misunderstand me; as long as I can own but one 

 boat, it s going to be one that 1 can sail on New York Bay, North 

 River, Harlem Creek or Erie Canal; one that I can bribe an ami- 

 able baggage man with a few good cigars to take in like a Sara- 

 toga trunk (never work off bad cigars on the baggage man, boys; 

 the next canoeist is sure to suffer); a boat that can be to me as 

 Ruth unto Boaz: can go with me to a Lake George hotel and pay no 

 board, or that the astonished farmer will be glad to carry inio his 

 front parlor so that the goats may be kept away from the canned 

 food, while I sleep on my cork mattress beside my boat; a boat 

 that can jump dams and run rapids, and come back to hibernate 

 during the winter in my cellar if I choose— in short, while I can 

 have but one boat, it shall be and is a canoe. I can enjoy her 

 without the depressing feeling that I have got to get my money's 

 worth out of her. I can sell her when I'm done with her, and if 

 she's broken up, I'm not. 



But it I could have two boats? Of course, I'd like a catboat to 

 take my mother-in-law in, if I had one (cat-boats are said to be 

 dangerous). I'd like a sloop yacht for royal fun. and a steam 

 yacbt to "git thar," or a big cutter like Baden- Powell's to carry 

 my canoe to pleasant cruising grounds. But such extravagance 

 can not be mine, so I enjoy'my canoe 



"And I bless the man, whoe'er he be. 

 That first shaped paddle from the tree." 



Canoeists are growing up to Stoddard's idea, and I am glad of 

 it. There is no reason why a canoe club house should not have a 

 fleet of little boats moored around it. Those who sail them are 

 glad of the convenience, and the more really good fellows brought 

 together the better the fun, and the stronger the club. Moreover, 

 the canoeists may find it very handy some day in a bad squaU to 

 he fished into one of those depraved things with oars. 



"THE WORLD OF WATERS IS OUR OWN, 

 AND MERRY MEN ARE WE !" 



It is two years since I took my last cruise with Stoddard, but 1 

 believe that, all points considered, there is no better all-round 

 cruising boat to-day than the Atlantis. Her last rig was wonder- 

 fully effective, and one could get lots of points by going over her 

 outfit. I have had any number of inquiries about the boat and 

 her great cruise— and it was a grand cruise— so with Stoddard's 

 permission I'll give you, in brief, the whole thing. I. The Boat 

 and its Outfit. U. The Rig. III. The Cruise. 



I.— THE BOAT. 

 "Forthwith he devis'd 

 Of sundry scented woods along the shore 

 A little shallop like a quarter-moon, 

 Wherein Absal and he like Sun and Moon 

 Enter'd as iuto some Celestial Sign; 

 That, figured like a bow, but arrow-like 

 In flight, was feather'd with a litte sail, 

 And pitcht upon the water like a duck." 

 —From the Persian of J&mi (Lieut. Kelley's "American Yachts, )
