 his average death rate will be found quite as low, if not 

 lower, than those of any of the Jacksonville physicians. A 

 neighbor of Dr. Paeetti's tolls this story on him: One night 

 last' week a man rang the Doctor's door-bell furiously at 

 ibout 12.80 o'clock— just as he had fallen to sleep. He awoke 

 and rushed to the window to learn who was sick or dying. 

 The visitor said: ''Your brother's dog is poisoned. Come 

 quick and see him." This was too much for the tired Doc- 

 tor. He yelled out: "I haven't any brother in Jacksonville, 

 and they haven't left any dogs here. If you've got a sick 

 dog, give him a dose of castor oil. Now get out!"

DOG TALK. 



THE Robins Island Field Trials will be run Dec. 17, 18 

 and 19. Entries will close Nov. 15, and should be sent 

 to Mi. Samuel B. Duryea, 47 Rernsen street, Brooklyn. 

 The prizes in All- Age Stake are silver-mounted belt, silver- 

 mounted whip and silver whistle; in Derby Stake, silver 

 collar, and Brace Stake, silver cup. Entry fee, $5. The 

 Robins Island Club trials are one of the most enjoyable field 

 trial events of the year. The members gather in the hand- 

 some club house and good fellowship reigus supreme. 



Mr. J. W. Reufroe advises us that reduced railroad fares 

 will be secured for those who attend the Southern trials. 



The National Dog Club has announced to the American 

 Kennel Club an expression of its readiness to co-operate 

 with the latter in advancing kennel interests. The great 

 majority of individual breeders would rejoice to see harmony 

 reign, and they will approve th-J manly course of the Na- 

 tional's committee in this latest step, which indeed is exactly 

 in line with what has been the policy of the club since its 

 organization. 



"Clumber" wishes us to say that in his note on the dog's 

 sense of smell, in our last issue, he wrote wily grouse in- 

 stead of early grouse. The grouse is both wily and early, 

 and one has to get up early in the morning to get ahead of 

 him. 



In Indiana field trials entries King's Girl named as owned 

 by J. H. Lewis, is the property of Mr. John H. Law, of Cin- 

 cinnati, O,, who has done so much as a State Fish and Game 

 Commissioner, to advance the interests of sportsmen in Ohio.

The Pacific Coast Field Trial Club anticipates a very suc- 

 cessful meeting in January in Kern county. Birds are plen- 

 tiful, and a large tract of country is being preserved and 

 looked after by the Knights of the Trigger, a wide-awake 

 club of Bakersfield sportsmen. 



Dr. Ayers, of Omaha; Nebraska, says that the liveliest 

 interest is being taken in the improvement in dogs in that 

 city, and that a kennel club has lately been formed for the 

 breeding of the English mi stiff. A grand bench show is 

 contemplated bv Omaha for next year, as she does not wish 

 to be behind Kansas City if she can help it. This is a good 

 idea. There are numbers of good dogs of all classes scattered 

 throughout the Mississippi Valley. 



The Jacksonville Times-Union tells this story of one of 

 the humors of the yellow fever times: Among those home 

 physicians who have worked untiringly, day and night, 

 throughout this long epidemic, none is deserving of more 

 praise than Dr. Joseph A. Pacetti. From the very outset 

 pis servicesjiave been constantly called into requisition, f o r 



Mr. Chas. D. Cugle, of the Capitol City Kennels, Hartford, 

 Conn., has lost by death his St. Bernard Dom Pedro. He 

 writes that the dog died of diarrhoea, contracted going to 

 the Richmond show, and pneumonia brought on from expo- 

 sure and neglect coming from the show. "He lost 241bS. 

 going down, coining home Adams Express Co. had the 

 kindness to keep hmi on the road for three days, when he 

 should have come through in twenty-four hours." 



Mr. F. F. Dole has receently imported a black and tan 

 terrier dog that he is greatly pleased with, and thinks he is 

 good enough to clean out all competitors at the shows next 

 spring. He is about 15 months old. and is by the well- 

 known Halifax General and out of Lady Lattle. He was 

 purchased for Mr. Dole by Mr. L. P. O. Astley.

THE SPANIELS. 



Editor Forest and Stream: . 



Thanks, many thanks to Mr. Fellows tor his invitation to 

 come "out of my dense cover," but while I am a long way 

 from being ashamed of my name and residence, I don't pro- 

 pose to disclose them at his command. It is my business, 

 not his if I choose to write under a nam dc plume, and it is 

 my custom always to follow my own line, not that dictated 



by i°would preface my remarks by apologizing fully to Mr. 

 Fellows for the statement I made which he states to be incor- 

 rect Five years is a good long time to remember minutely 

 a thing of that sort, and I must have mixed up the $100 and 

 multiplied it bv ten. However, that is neither here nor there, 

 and as is my custom when in the wrong, I apologize To 

 Mr 'Fellows's first question I would say that I have not $1,000 

 to put up on a dog race. In the noble game of "draw" the 

 bold player with a long purse often "bluffs" out a better 

 hand Mr. Fellows appears to be pretty dab at "polker talk 

 and I presume knows that. I for one was "shut out" and 

 unable to "call" Mr. Fellows's hand. That mythical i*l,000 

 "choked" me. By the way, I see that "Onlooker" too 

 thought the challenge for $1,000. What have I been doing 

 the last five years? Mr. Fellows asks. Why, working my 

 dogs all my spare time each fall, showing them now and 

 then, and always winning, toa. , .. , .., 



I note that according to the challenge as given by Mr, 

 Fellows, Silk and Daisy were backed against any "brace of 

 cockers in America." How in the name of common sense 

 can Silk be "champion field trial spaniel" in that case, when 

 Irish water, Clumber, Sussex and field spaniels were barred? 

 Will Mr. Fellows kindly explain and insert the word cocker 

 in the title. Then again the challenge was for a brace and 

 Silk is therefore but one of the ''champion brace of field 

 trial cocker spaniels by default." No. bilk has no right to 

 the title Mr. Fellows claims for him. 



Yes, I've put in some of the five years at training and accept 

 Mr. Fellows's congratulations as offered with thanks, for 

 I'm quite confident in my own mind that from what I have 

 heard that I own two, three, yes, perhaps four dogs able to 

 give Silk points and a beating. 



I thank Mr. Fellows for his "spider to the fly" invitation 

 to go to Hornell for a match. Really, Mr. Fellows's "nerve." 

 astounds me. No, if ever my dogs ruu in a match it will be 

 on neutral ground, under neutral judges. I will not ask nor 

 o-ive advantages, no matter how certain I may feel of win- 

 ning. Perhaps he would wish me also to use a strange gun 

 while he uses his own old stand by. 



I had thought, erroneously as it seems, that Mr. Fellows 

 would have been the first to support me in my demand for 

 regular spaniel trials. He has written so much on the de- 

 terioration of the modern cocker as regards work afield, 

 both in prose and verse (?) that one would suppose he would 

 be in favor of showing up the "dachs-weasels." But, alas 

 for human judgment, it is not so. 

 When the Spaniel Club or any other reputable club holds 

 laniel field trial I will be there and hope to meet Mr. Fel- 



INDIANA KENNEL CLUB. 



INDIANAPOLIS, Oct, 29.— Editor Forest and Ktrcarn: 

 The real difference between Mr. Anthony and the Indi- 

 ana Kennel Club may be of some interest to the public, and 

 while in process of settlement should not lie obscured by a 

 cloud of personalities entirely irrelevant to the subject. 



That a better understanding may be had, and simple jus- 

 tice done all couccrned, the club offers this plain statement- 

 of facts, together with a brief resume of the case from the 

 beginning: 



The question originally at issue was whether or not Mr. 

 Mitchell should be allowed to handle dogs in the forthcom- 

 ing trials at Bickuell; and it is admitted that the club first 

 broached the subject, The. gist of the correspondence is here 

 reproduced and the "deadly parallel column" is used as the 

 most effective method of presenting it. 



Indianapolis, May l.—Jas. L. New York, May H P. T. MaM- 

 Antiwny, Esq.: * * * While son, Esq.: * * * As I have a.l- 

 this club has no grievance ready informed Mr. Isgrigg, I 

 against Mr. Mitchell * * * we do not blame your club for the 

 cannot consent to his handling position they take. * * * With 

 at our trials until he is rein- kindest regards, very unoerely 

 stated hy the Eastern Club, yours, JAS. L. Anthony. 

 * * * P. T. Madison, Sec'y. 



It will be seen that in the beginning the club's position 

 was firmly taken and plainly stated, and that it had at least 

 the negative approval of Mr. Anthony, who kindly refrained 

 from blaming us. His letter closed with an excess of 

 cordiality that was appreciated, and it was followed by 

 another the very next day. in which he said "I would gladly 

 do anything I could in any way to add to the success of your 

 trials," etc. 



Granting the gentleman's sincerity— and no one then 

 questioned it— it is plain that bis subsequent displeasure' 

 with the club had its origin in something other than the 

 refusal to recognize Mr. Mitchell. Proof of this is found in 

 the following extract from his letter of July IS.andtbe club's 

 rejoinder, dated July 24: 



New' York, July 12.— P. T. Indianapolis, July 24.— Jets. 



Madison, Secretory: I am in- L. Anthony. Esq.: * * * The 



formed that your club has re- question before us was whether 



fused to allow Mitchell to our club should sustain the 



handle at your trials, having action of other clubs in general, 



sustained the action of the and the Eastern in particular. 



Eastern. in placing bars on handlers for 



If, of course, the charges sent what they consider sufficient 



you by the Eastern are in your grounds. * * * 



opinion sufficient to sustain Our club sustained the East- 



your action, you are the sole ern in the matter.— P. T. Mad- 



judges. * * *— JAS. L. An- ison, Secretary, 



THONY. 



The remainder of the letter of July 12 offers the first 

 glimpse of Mr. Anthony's actual interest in the club's 

 action. 



The complaint that the Eastern Club had refused Mr. 

 Mitchell and his friends a copy of the charges against him, 

 and the insinuation that the Indiana Club was guilty of in- 

 justice in declining to divulge what had been intrusted to 

 it in strict confidence, created the belief that Mr. Anthony's 

 real purpose had been to obtain from us the information 

 denied him by the club directly interested, and that whether 

 or not Mitchell was allowed to handle was a minor consid- 

 eration. 



(Right here, the club disavows Mr. Samuel's statement 

 that it thought Mr. Heath and Mr. Farnham were in the 

 conspiracy. There was absolutely nothing to justify the 

 inference). 



Here the Mitchell matter ended, and with it Mr. An- 

 thony's prospective career as a field trial judge. He was 

 guilty of a gross and unwarranted imputation against the 

 club's fairness and honesty, and the resentment found quick 

 expression in a unanimous vote of dismissal. 



The suspicion that Mr. Anthony had sought the appoint- 

 ment grew out of the fact that his selection was due to Mr. 

 Isgrigg, and the latter's oft-repeated statement that after 

 the appointment was made Mr. Anthony sold him a dog at 

 greatly reduced figures in order that he might be run in the 

 Indiana trials. The inference was plain, and together with 

 what appeared to be suspicious interest in the Mitchell case, 

 confirmed the growing belief that the club had been imposed 

 upon. The publication of the correspondence between 

 Messrs. Anthony and Isgrigg dispels that belief, and the 

 club retracts the insinuation which the former gentleman 

 complains of as libelous. 



While jealous of its good reputation and quick to resent 

 aspersions upon it, the Indiana Kennel Club is equally 

 ready to undo a wrong to any individual. If Mr. Anthony 

 had corresponded with the club on club business, instead of 

 one of its members, this trouble would never haA^e occurred. 

 It had its origin, its continuation and its culmination in his 

 misplaced confidence in an irresponsible mischief-maker. 



By order of the Board,

QtJESTER. 



Editor Forest and Stream: 



I fail to see just what "An Onlooker" is barking at. 



Quester" thought he had treed something, and now the 



Onlooker" barks up the same tree, but he is like all skulk- 

 ers, ?'. e., those who hide as they do behind a nom dc plume. 

 The proper thing for me to do would be to pass all such boys 

 by and pay no attention to their lucubrations. 



"I did not make a name and repution on paper, but by prac- 

 tical breeding and exhibiting. It is now thirteen years since 

 a cocker I bred won first at a bench show in America, Your 

 correspondent should stick to facts; they are stubborn things 

 that no amount of personal vituperation can alter. I have 

 never yet exhibited but what I won something: and at Buf- 

 falo in the best class of cockers ever seen at a show, in any 

 other color than black I won first, second and third, first in 

 puppies and special; special for best kennel of red or buff 

 spaniels; should have had first in novice class only for the 

 clerk's mistake, Oue of Hornell Silk's get won the highest 

 honor in America, the National Dog Club medal. So it is 

 safe to remark that instead of not winning I did win at the 

 , 'Buffalo district," lean win at Boston. So, Mr. "Onlooker," 

 you come out of your hole. Neither of us know who is to 

 judge there. I name Hornell Fancy, Buff, Velda, Dick and 

 Martha, I shall expect you to name your string the week 

 after this apoears; the stake to be a medal or piece of olate. 

 If any other kennel thinks we have no good dogs to suit the 

 present style, I will show one each of the following colors: 

 black, black and white, liver, liver and white, red, buff, and 

 black , white an d tan , or black and tan , same place and stakes. 



Let "An Onlooker" read the standard and discuss it in a 

 decent manner. I aim to be a gentleman at all times. I 

 shall "write no book" nor shall! "sit down" until the sport- 

 ing spaniel is in its proper place. Now let some of the kids 

 who are ashamed of their names whack your special London 

 reporter who started this thing, J, OTIS Fellows.

 suggest that the writer mistook the cry of the little flitting

 on a good many occasions watched him while exercising his
