be makes substantially the following statements regarding 

 "the occurrence of young codfish in Gloucester Harbor and 

 vicinity: For some weeks past there has been an abundance 

 of young cod from 7 to lOin. in length in Gloucester Harbor 

 and vicinity. Captain Gill, a well known expert fisherman, 

 States that they are so plentiful on the shore grounds three 

 or four miles from Eastern Point that they cause the hand- 

 line fishermen considerable trouble, as these young fish 

 nibble the bait off the hooks almost as fast as it is put 

 down, sometimes compelling the fishermen to ptill up anchor 

 and shift to other localities. Parties who have beeu fishing 

 for cunners from the rocks at Eastern Point and vicinity 

 have caught as many cod as other fish. Captain Martin had 

 seen nineteen young cod that were thus caught two or three 

 days liefore he wrote. He says that these were the true 

 ocean codfish, and not the darker colored variety commonly 

 called the rock cod, which arc sometimes found near the 

 shores feeding among the alga?.. Some boys have also 

 caught young codfish from the pier at Ten Pound Island. 

 It is the general opinion that these young fish are some of 

 those which have been hatched at the Ten Pound Island 

 station. — J. W. Collins, Assistant, in charge of Division of 

 Fisheries, 



LET HIM LEARN TO REA D. — "Livingston Stone, in 

 Forest and Stream, writing about fishculture, makes great 

 gains in the different food fish. He rates shad as weighing 

 31 pounds each. If Mr. Livingston Stone's other figures are no 

 nearer correct than his estimate of the weight of shad, they 

 are certainly not to be trusted. A 31-pound shad!" Sosaysthe 

 Havre de Grace Republican of May 24. We should not refer 

 at all to this unwarranted sneer on one of our esteemed cor- 

 respondents were it not for the pernicious effect which a 

 false statement of this kind may have upon some intelligent 

 people who have no means of detecting the error of the 

 would-be critic of Havre de Grace. The fact is, Mr. Stone 

 rated the shad at three pounds each, and in this journal, as 

 elsewhere, we express this quantity by the symbol 31 bs. If 

 the Hcjmhllran does not know this we give it the informa- 

 tion cheerfully and without cost, but we cannot, help think- 

 ing that it is "certainly not to be trusted" to write English 

 until it learns to read It. 



STRIPED BASS IN CALIFORNIA. — Red Bank, N. J., 

 .May 20.— In the Fishculture columns of May 16, speaking of 

 striped bass in California, you mention two large bass being 

 taken, weighing 271 lis. and 171bs. I think these fish are of 

 the plant of 1880, when the fish were shipped from here by 

 Livingston Stone. These fish may have, been full of spawn, 

 and I would suggest to the Commissioners that a reward be 

 offered for females in spawn, and that when caught they be 

 returned to the water, and if taken by responsible parties 

 the reward be paid on receipt of a proper affidavit. I would 

 be pleased to receive from the Commissioners a record of the 

 large bass taken duriug the last five years, their sex and 

 weight, when caught and manner of capture. Having been 

 instrumental in the taking of the plant of 1885, I am inter- 

 ested as to the success. — Geo. H. Wild.

SAN FRANCISCO DOG SHOW. 



THE second annual bench show of the Pacific Kennel Club 

 was held on May 22, 23, 21 and 25 in the Mechanic's 

 Pavili on . San Francisco, Cal. The total number of entries 

 amounted to 229. The show was in every wav very success- 

 ful, except, I believe, financially. The Pavilion is one of 

 the best buildings for holding a bench show I have seen, 

 with ample room to accommodate 2,000 dogs. The arrange- 

 ments were everything that could be wished for, and all the 

 members of the club seemed to work with an interest for 

 the success of the undertaking. It was one of the cleanest 

 dog shows I have ever seen. With reference to the dogs, 

 speaking generally, the sporting dogs were good, while the 

 non-sporting dogs were not up to what we see at English 

 shows. Dandie Dinmonts, Scotch terriers, Irish terriers, 

 bloodhounds, and bulldogs were conspicuous by their 

 absence. 



The first class brought into the ring was mastiff dogs. 

 The winner, Dick, is a good upstanding dog with good feet 

 and legs, but is plain in head. Noble, second prize, is small, 

 has a short face, yellow eye and badly carried ears. Third 

 prize went to another dog called Noble, a large dog, but with 

 no mastiff character. There was only one entry in bitches, 

 Actress, a good sized animal with good feet, legs and body. 

 This bitch, if possessed of more wrinkle, would be difficult 

 to beat in any company. In dog puppies first prize, Tim, is 

 a good, promising young dog — short in face, of good size, 

 good feet and legs, wants wrinkle and character; his color 

 of head was deficient. Bitch puppies were a poor lot. Gypsy 

 arrived too late for competition. She is too large in ears, 

 but she is good in head, good In wrinkle and body, and a 

 very typical young bitch , She would certainly have won 

 had she been in time to be shown. 



St. Bernards were a very indifferent lot. I only awarded 

 second prize in the open dog class to a very nice coated and 

 colored animal, but of small size. He was a long way the 

 best of anything in the class. 



Newfoundlands had only two entries and the prizes were 

 withheld. Second prize was awarded to a moderate young 

 black Newfoundland puppy, Mr. Schule's Nero. 



In Great Danes first went to Caesar, a good blue dog, not 

 so large as some I have seen. Second to Dora, a good me- 

 dium-sized brindle bitch. Lea, third prize, good in size, 

 body, feet and legs, but too weak in muzzle. 



Only one deerhound was brought iuto the ring, I under- 

 stand one turned up afterward too late to be shown. Ossean 

 was given second prize, he is a very moderate animal, shown 

 in bad condition and walking very stiff. The first prize 

 puppy Vaughn is a nice puppy wanting in size and bone. 



Greyhounds were a good collection and competition was 

 keen. The winner, a black and white perhaps not so good 

 in neck as the second, but much the best in quarters with 

 grand well bent stifles. Second went to a white not so good 

 in stifles but a dog possessing a great deal of quality. Mon- 

 arch, third, is of the same type and color as the second, but 

 not so fine in neck and shoulders. Benelon II., another 

 white, is a good dog more loaded in shoulders than those 

 placed over him. In bitches Jennie June, a black, is a very 

 level made animal showing quality all through, she would 

 be better if possessed of more bone. Brunette, second, is 

 another black, she pressed the winner very closely. In dog 

 puppies Chronicle, first, is a level true well-proportioned 

 young clog perhaps too light in bone. Examiner, second, is 

 the same stamp as the winner but moved with his elbows 

 turned in. Rake, placed third, is a stronger dog than the 

 winner but not so fine in shoulders. In bitch puppies Menlo 

 Maid, first, is a brindle in good condition. Second went to a 

 black and white very much out of condition. 



No English foxhounds were shown. In American fox- 

 hounds first went to Roy. He possesses good feet and legs, 

 good long folding ears with good wrinkle; he is a trifle short 

 in face. Nip, second, is a strong, powerful dog, broader in 

 bead than the winner, with no wrinkle and ears not so long. 

 Tn bitches, Echo, a very handsome black and tan with long, 

 lean head, good peak, plenty of leather iu her ears, good feet 

 and legs, with the best of long, sloping shoulders, possessing 

 at the same time bone and substance. Kate, second prize, 

 is tbe same stamp as the winner only not so good in feet and 

 legs. Fleet, third prize, has bad feet and legs, is of small 

 size and out at elbows. Puppies had only one entry, Elsie, 

 a good specimen of the same stamp as the first and second 

 prize bitches. 



Pointers were a very good collection, Pat P., lemon and 

 white, has good feet aud'legs, beautiful neck and shoulders, 

 wil li good body well ribbed up, but was shown a little out 

 of condition. Professor, second, a liver and white, is a good 

 mover, with good bone and quarters, and is typical, but not 

 quite to good in neck and shoulders as the winner. Dick II. 

 and Rush T. are larger than those placed over them, and do 

 nor, possess the general quality of the winners. In bitches 

 over 50Ibs. first went to Blossom, a lemon and white of good 

 character, with good head and ears, neck, shoulders, feet 

 and legs; in fact, a very handsome animal, perhaps the 

 best pointer in the show. Donna Sensation, second, is 

 another of the same type, not quite so good in head 

 as Blossom, but yet an animal of more than usual quality. 

 Manzanita is a good bitch, but considerably behind 

 tbe winners. In small dogs first went to a liver and white, 

 Wade Hampton. He has a good head, is full of character 

 and is good in feet and legs. -He might be better ribbed 

 up and is rather leggy. Matchless and Climax, both small 

 liver and white dogs, are good in body but short in head, 

 the latter being rather dark in color of nose for a lemon and 

 white. Patti Croxteth T., the winner in the next class, a 

 very typical liver and white, with good head, feet and legs, 

 and with plenty of bone, might be better in shoulders. 

 Cora and Wanda, both liver and white, are not so good iu 

 bone as the winner. Ponto, the winning dog puppy, is a 

 level-made, well-matured puppy. Rob T. and Tennis are 

 good liver and whites, and both likely to furnish into dogs 

 of considerable merit, and will no doubt render a good ac- 

 count of themselves next year. In bitch puppies, Manzanita, 

 first, won third in open bitches. She wants character in 

 head, but possesses good feet, legs and body. Donna Blanca 

 is leggy, rather light in bone and carries her tail too high. 



In English setter dogs the winner, Rover H., is a grand, 

 level-made dog with good feet and legs, well ribbed up, and 

 his head is good and typical; he might be better in tail. 

 Bruiser and Rector are both good typical dogs; shown thin, 

 owing to which they appeared flat-sided and deficient in 

 body beside the winner. In bitches Florine, the winner, is 

 a very handsome animal; I would prefer her a size larger. 

 She is a very truly formed animal and possesses quality and 

 moves well. Beezy is a long way behind the winner. 

 Ophelia is a strong, typical animal with a bad carriage of 

 tail. The winning puppies, Peerless and Gypsy Queen, 

 possessed considerable quality, but are rather light in bone 

 and short of feather. 



In Irish setter dogs first went to Mike T., a good strong- 

 bodied dog, good in coat, full dark enough in color and plain 

 in head, Sport and Grouse are fine upstanding dogs, but 

 leggy and light in bone compared with the winner. In 

 bitches Lady ElchoT., the winner, is a large fine bitch, 

 possessing quality all through, good color and coat. Taken 

 altogether she is an animal fit for any company. She won 

 the special for the best setter in the show, being closely 

 pressed by the English setter bitch Florine. Lena I., second 

 prize winner, is a fair animal, a long way behind the win- 

 ner. In dog puppies Dash T., the winner, is a good dog, but 

 coarse. There was nothing striking in bitch puppies. 



Black and tan setters were poor. Second prize went to 

 Dorr, the remains of a good type of Gordon setter. The 

 Irish water spaniel bitch Nora P. won first with no opposi- 

 tion. A good specimen not in the best of coat. 



In cocker dogs first went to Giffie, a nice little black with 

 a wavy coat and tail too high. Woodstock Belle is a nice 

 typical cocker bitch, better in coat and tail than the winner 

 in the dog class. In cocker puppies the winner Budge is a 

 moderate liver, and likely to be oversized and leggy. 



Retrievers and collies were very indifferent. 



In beagles Bannerman, Jr., looks old and worn. He is 

 hollow behind the shoulder, and a bad mover. Daisy II. is 

 a nice little bitch of correct type; perhaps, just leggy enough. 



No bulldogs were shown, and the bull-terriers were a very 

 poor collection; none possessed any merit for the show 

 bench. 



The fox-terrier dog Tromp, placed first, is a very good 

 specimen: good feet and legs, good style and good coat, 

 a little full in eye. Second prize, Regent Jock, is a wonder- 

 fully compact, Avell made clog, too long and soft in coat. 

 Schneider, third prize, is also a good stamp, full in eye, 

 dropped below eye and light in bone. Golden Gem, first in 

 bitches, is above ordinary merit and fit for keen competition. 



Black and tan terriers were a very indifferent lot. Only 

 one Airedale was shown, Mr. Kingsley's Nip, a very good 

 specimen fit to be shown successfully in any company. 

 Skyes were poor, and the same remark applies to pugs, 

 Yorkshires, poodles and the remaining classes.

MR. ANTHONY'S CHARGES AGAINST THE AMERI 

 CAN FIELD TRIAL CLUB.— Cincinnati, O., June L— 

 Editor Forest and Stream: I hand you herewith copy of 

 letter addressed to the secretary of the A. K. C. which will 

 explain itself.— W. B. Shatttjc, Pres. A. F. T. Club. Cin- 

 cinnati, O., May 27.— A. P. Vredenburgh, Esq., Secretary 

 American Kennel Club, 44 and 46 Broadway, New York. 

 Deai- Sir: I have the honor to acknowledge receipt of your 

 favor of the 25th inst., advising me that at the regular 

 quarterly meeting of the executive committee of the A. K. 

 C, J. L. Anthony asked for the disqualification of myself 

 and others for reasons stated, and I also note the resolution 

 of the Hon. John S. Wise. I beg to inclose you herewith 

 correspondence between Anthony and myself on this sub- 

 ject, which fully explains the matter. The American Field 

 Trial Club has not yet acted on the matter and until it does 

 I am unable to advise your club what its decision may be. 

 Anthony would make it appear that the American Field 

 Trial Club had declined to pay the prize. He knows such 

 to be false. A check for the amount he claims was offered 

 him and he declined to take it and said he never would take 

 any money from the club and he has so since stated to 

 others. Anthony has changed his mind and now wants the 

 money. His wishes will be made known to the club at its 

 next meeting and Anthony will be advised of its decision. 

 You will note that the club is not at fault at all. Had 

 Anthony's requests been declined, his actions in making 

 charges to your club might have been excused (though he 

 knows very well he relieved the club from payment), but iu 

 view of the fact that the club had not considered his request, 

 his actions in making the charges he has are infamous. I 

 shall be glad to give you and your club any further inform- 

 ation concerning this matter. Yours truly, W. B. SHATTDC, 

 President American Field Trial Club. 



EASTERN FIELD TRIALS CLUB DERBY. — Editor 

 Forest and Stream: I send you an additional entry for the 

 E. F .T. O. Derby that was mailed April 29, but only reached 

 me Mav 26.— W. A. Coster, Secretary.
