"A BIT OF KENNEL HISTORY." 



Editor Forest and Stream: 



Since readiug Mr. Mason's letter in your last issue, I have 

 jogged my memory and find that T did, in a letter published 

 mttae Turf, Field and Farm of Feb. 17, 1888, publicly invite 

 Mr. Mason to edit the Stud Book. By reference to the letter, 

 which you designate as a derisive letter about Mr. Mason as 

 an English gentleman, in your editorial of Julv 26, 1888. you 

 ■will find I use the following lauguage: "Now let us adopt 

 this as a substitute for Rule 2; that all dogs in America 

 shall be registered in a book, and that said book shall he 

 published by Chas. K. Mason, an English aentleman, under 

 such conditions and terms as he may adopt." 



This is the only invitation or request 1 ever made to him 

 to become the editor of the Stud Book, and his statement 

 that I personally requested him to take Mr. Vredenburglrs 

 place as editor, is absolutely untrue, and it must have come 

 to him in a dream. Perhaps the wish was father to the 

 thought, he knowing that he was the only man in this coun- 

 try who was cap; 1 ile and competent to edit the Stud Book. 

 The fact that another was doing it preyed upon his mind 

 and consequently begat the dream. It must have come to 

 him in this way, because he is not only an English gentle- 

 man but too much of a gentleman to repeat to a newspaper 

 for publication a private conversation in his own house 

 with his friend. 



Then again, if I had had said conversation, I know Mr. Mason 

 would not repeat it, because 1 don't know, nor do I pretend 

 to know, anything about dogs or doggy matters, and he 

 says himself that he published a letter several vears ago in 

 the Forest and Strkam saying he would not have a dis- 

 cussion with an ignoramus like me, or words to that effect;, 

 Margaret Fuller, when quite young, made this statement: 

 ;'I have now met all the minds of this country worth meet- 

 ing, and I find none comparable to my own." Poor Mar- 

 garet now lies dead, while poor Mason— well, in the lan- 

 guage of Marcus Antonius: 



"O, mighty Caesar! dost thou lie so low? 



Are nil thy conquests, glories, triumphs, spoils, 



Shrunk to this little measure?— Fare thee well."

SPANIELS AS PETS. 



Editor Forest and Stream: 



Your issue of Aug. 2 contained a letter from Mr. H. F. 

 Schellhass on the adoption by the American Pet Dog Club 

 of certain constitution and by-laws, wherein spaniels under 

 2Slbs. (meaning cockers), and beagles were listed with pugs, 

 Blenheims and other breeds, as pet dogs, and suitable sub- 

 jects for their protection, duly added to their list, and in- 

 stalled as such upon their books, to all of which Mr. Schell- 

 hass objects, and on behalf of the spaniel I object. Now the 

 question naturally arises as to whether the Pet Dog Club 

 has not extended its functions beyond its reasonable sphere? 

 Spaniels and beagles have, from time immemorial, been 

 kept and used for the hunt— they are so kept and used to- 

 day. Why then classify them with what are known as pet 

 dogs — breeds that are used almost exclusively for orna- 

 mental purposes, kept entirely as house dogs, and never 

 used by the sportsman (with the exception, perhaps, of some 

 of the terriers). The Pet Dog Club might have— having 

 gone as high as 281bs.— increased their weight limit a trifle 

 and taken iu some of the larger breeds. Great Danes for in- 

 stance, they being possessed of the twofold advantage of 

 not already having a specialty club in this country to pro- 

 tect their interests, and no remodeled and Americanized 

 standard that has stood (as is the case with the American 

 Spaniel Club) the wear and tear of years, been accepted by 

 all clubs, used by all our foremost judges, and what is more, 

 indorsed by none other than the late lamented J. H. Walsh 

 ("Stonehenge") himself, said letter of approval being in my 

 possession. Ergo, aside from venturing on ground already 

 occupied, the Pet Dog Club, when it selects ' 'Stonehenge V' 

 standard for cockers, is offering us second-hand goods, ours 

 having been formulated in 1881, being by several years 

 newer than his, and as I remarked before, having received 

 his indorsement unqualified. I have let an issue of your 

 paper come and go in the hope that some one of the mem- 

 bers of the Pet Dog Club would have something to say in 

 reply to Mr. Schellhass and in defense of their action. As a 

 member and officer of the American Spaniel Club I protest 

 against their assuming authority in any manner over the 

 cocker spaniel. A. C. Wilmeedikg, Sec'y A. S. C.

DEATH OF HOWARD HARTLEY. 



WITH sincere regret we hear of the death of Mr. Howard 

 Hartley. Although Mr. Hartley had not been seen 

 often at dog shows or field trials of late years, and though 

 virtually unknowu to the latest growth of fanciers who 

 began yesterday and rule to-day, yet his statuesque figure 

 and open, hearty face was well known to show goers of four 

 or five years since. 



Mr. Hartley was one of our earliest setter men, haviug 

 imported Rake somewhere about 1868 to '70, and this importa- 

 tion he followed up by purchasing Ruby, Royal Ranger,Daisy 

 Queen, Gaily, etc., and subsequently bought the crack Queen 

 Alice at a long figure. His last importations of note were 

 the black pointers Flotsam and Jetsam. 



Mr. Hartley was stricken with paralysis about a month 

 since, from which he partly recovered, but a relapse set iu 

 and complications made their unwelcome appearance to 

 which he speedily succumbed. Although somewhat lacking 

 m that steady persistency which commands success, he was 

 yet a most popular fancier, winning the regard of all by his 

 kindliness of heart, and in all things was the perfect gentle- 

 man m the best sense of the word. Mr. Hartley left a 

 widow and one son to mourn his loss, and they have the 

 sincere sympathy of all who knew the deceased.

KENNEL MANAGEMENT. 



No Notice Taken ot Anonymous Correspondents. 



C. C. R,, Simcoe, Ont.— I have a setter puppy about three 

 months old over whose eyes a film seems to be growing; it is on 

 the surface of the pupils, and not. underneath, where I believe a 

 cataract would grow. Can you suggest a remedy, and is there 

 any danger of the pup going blind? Ans. Get a solution of zinc 

 sulphate, 2 grains to the ounce of water. Drop a little into the 

 puppy's eyes night and morning. Think the pup will recover. 



RANGE AND GALLERY.

OTTAWA, Aug. 7.— The annual meeting of theProvince of Que- 

 bec Rifle Association began on the Rideau ranges here to-day.

 and consequently the work has gone on without hitch. 



The first match was the Nursery, open to all members of the P.

 associations) who had never won an individual prize at any Pro- 

 vincial or Dominion match; range, 400yds.: 7 rounds; Snider rifle; 

 possible score, 35; Government pattern; position, any with head to

Sergt, Hartley's score, coming as it did within six points of a 

 possible, was considered highly creditable work. Later in the 

 day, however, Mitchell, of the Toronto Rifle Association, took 

 the shine out of everything by making a possible, planting 7 bul- 

 lets on the bullseyes at the 500yds. range. (Ten. Middlcton was 

 on the ground a large portion of the afternoon. Lieut.-Col . Mat- 

 tice is officer in command. 



Following were the winners in the association team matches: 

 First prize, $30 and silver cup; second, $25; third, $18; fourth, 

 $12; fifth, $10; sixth, $5.

Aug. 8.— The second day's contests took place under quite favor- 

 able auspices, for although the weather was rather fickle, still 

 there was nothing worse to spoil the sport than variable winds 

 and sun, and a shower toward the end of the day. 



The great contest to-day was that for the magnificent Jubilee 

 Cup, presented by the Corporation of the city of Montreal to the 

 team from the battalions of that city which shall make the high- 

 est aggregate score in the active militia matches. This is said to 

 be the handsomest cup in the Dominion. 



Following are the individual scores in this match: Active 

 militia match, open to the active militia of the Dominion of 

 Canada, staff and officers who have retired retaining their rank, 

 being members of the P. Q. R, Association by direct contribution 

 or through affiliated associations; ranges 200, 500 and 600yds.; first 

 prize, $30 and Dolan cup; second, $25; third, $20; fourth $15; fifth, 

 $10; two prizes, each $8, $16; ten prizes, each $5, 50; eighteen 

 prizes, each $4, $72. 



The Dolan cup can only be taken by riflemen from Quebec 

 province, and it was therefore won by the second man on the 

 list.
