 Richmond dog show, against the award of the special prize 

 for the best setter that has run at a field trial was sustained. 

 Mr. J. F. Campbell was suspended for one year and ordered 

 to return the prize won. In relation to the request of the 

 Gordon Setter Club for a class for Gordon setters inthestud 

 book, Mr. Peshall gave suggestions as to an amicable ar-

 the registration of black and tan setters under head of 

 American Gordon Setters. 



It was voted to adopt the plan of associated memberhip. 

 It was also voted to establish a Gazette to be published 

 monthly. The committee appointed to confer with the 

 American Kentiel fiegiMer reported progress and the mat- 

 ter was laid over for action of the advisory committee. Re- 

 garding the conference with the National Dog Club the 

 matter was placed in the hands of the president with power. 



The changes in the rules, with some unimportant altera- 

 tions, were adopted. Messrs. Peshall and Schellhass en- 

 deavored to have the rule granting power to bench show 

 committees to refuse entries rescinded, but without success. 

 In accordance with previous notice Mr. Peshall resigned as

"OUR PRIZE DOGS." 



THIS book all true lovers of the do? have been anxiously await- 

 ing. Mr. Mason is, unquestionably, the best judge of dogs in 

 this country, and a work from his pen upon the subject will com- 

 mand the widest attention and carry with it the highest author- 

 ity. He possesses by nature, it is only simple justice to say, the 

 qualities that eminently fit, him for the task he has undertaken, 

 and his innate gifts in this direction have boon trained and sup- 

 plemented by life-long study. If any man in America is entitled 

 to speak of dogs ex cathedra, he is the man. His standpoint is 

 always that of the thoroughly impartial and scientific critic. 

 The work before us proves tliat he wields a ready and dexterous 

 pen. 



Mi'. Mason visited .'ill the bench shows of any importance held 

 in this country during the past year, and has described in patient 

 detail every winning dog in his work. The points given are color, 

 markings, sire, dam, date of birth, height at shoulder, weight in 

 show condition, and names of breeder and owner; besides which 

 the book contains a complete record of the show winnings for 1887, 

 in America and abroad. The labor involved in such an under- 

 taking must have been simply enormous. Nearly a thousand 

 specimens are thus described. In addition to this, however, Mr. 

 Mason gives in each ease his original criticisms, pointing out, the 

 merits and defects. These criticism alone, of course, would ren- 

 der the book one of inestimable value to all interested in improv- 

 ing the dogs of our country. The value of such a treatment as he 

 has given to the subject lies in the accuracy and exhaustiveness 

 of the details, and the competency of the judgment, and for these 

 the name of the author will vouch with every connoisseur of dogs. 



Of the mechanical presentment of the book any publisher might 

 feel proud. The composition and press-work are of the best 

 known description; the paper is of high quality; the binding in 

 green and gold, with a portrait of the collie Scotilla stamped on 

 the cover. And this brings us to one of the strongest points about 

 the work— the illustrations— allusion to which we have, purposely 

 left to tiie last. They are artotypes, or permanent photographs, 

 beautifully executed, and, of course, exact reproductions of their 

 subjects. We have had in the past many books upon the dog 

 which their authors or publishers have attempted to illustrate, 

 but the cuts or plates have been of the roughest aud coai sest, des- 

 cription, hardly recognizable likenesses of the animals w hose 

 appearance they were designed to reproduce. 



Of the illustrations in "Our Prize Dogs," in every respect, it is 

 hardly possible to speak too highly. They leave practicallv 

 nothing to bo desired. When, in addition to their fidelity and 

 finish of execution, the fact is considered that the subject chosen 

 are the dogs that, among all those in America, are nearest to the 

 true type, their wide and inestimable value becomes evident. 

 There are comparatively few people who have inoi'e than a very 

 vague conception of what are the truest types in the different 

 breeds of dogs. One of the chief values of this work, particularly 

 with regard to its illustrations, will bo to supply this defect. 

 With it before them, it will he easy for even the most inexperi- 

 enced to form correct ideas upon this subject— as. for instance, 

 that a long nose in a mastiff is a thingnot to be desired— and thus 

 to cultivate taste and judgment. "Our Prize Dogs' 1 not only is 

 an indispensable work to ev-ry breeder and dog-fancier, but will 

 possess interest and value to every one who is in any way inter- 

 ested in dogs.— Boston Journal of Hculll). 



Naval Officii), Port of San Francisco, Deo. 1.— Editor Forest 

 and Stream: As an old staunch friend of yours let me congratu- 

 late you and all lovers of good dogs upon the appearance of that 

 Splendid hook "Our Prize Dogs," from the pen of my valued 

 friend Charles H. Mason. A few days ago he very kindly and 

 geuerously sent me a copy, beautifully bound. It was indeed a 

 welcome surprise, and I am grateful for Mr. Mason's thoughtful- 

 ness. The book was long in being born, but what a maguUioent 

 creation it if; full of frank, manly, courageous criticism; full of 

 valuable information, and brimming over with instruction to all 

 who care to improve the breeding of our four-footed friends and 

 companions. 



His criticisms are undoubtedly just. They are pungent, fear- 

 less, forcible. They cannot help doing good. Even the owners of 

 the dogs wbieh have not found favor in the eyes of this accom- 

 plished and honest judge, should feel glad there is one man in 

 America who knows what he is writing about, and who can tell 

 them convincingly of the demerits of their pets. So can they pro- 

 fit and improve in breeding; orin future purchases look for greater 

 symmetry, grander quality, for points of utility hitherto escaping 



observation, and thus be happier in the knowledge of canine per- 

 fection. 



1 keenly regret that Mason did n it go a little more iuto details 

 whonhe criticised some breeds. For instance, I would have loved 

 to see the complete measurements of all the large dogs— the mas- 

 tiffs and St. Rernards. In hi.- next book he will, I am sure, supply 

 the deficiency. 



And in the interest of all lovers of dogs he ought to take up at 

 once that graphic pen of his and give us a book that will be a 

 standard work on all breeds, and take the place of "Stonehenge," 

 Vero Shaw, Dalziel, or "fdstone." There is plenty of room for it. 

 The literature of dogdom is voluminous. He could make it lum- 

 inous. 



How fortunate he was in gelling some splendid pictures! And 

 how beautiful and stylish the printing and binding of the book. 

 Some of the pictures are matchless in merit. Bevel HI. seems 

 about to speak to us, and presents a picture of grace and styls 

 and character, that makes me- long to own and caress the orig- 

 inal. Minting, the unmatched mastiff, looks so massive and 

 majestic and so full of all the good qualities I have sought in my 

 favorite breed, that if Mr. Cleveland had been happily re-elected, 

 I would have worried Mr. Moore to part With him. I wish Beau- 

 fort's unbeaten head and figure had been there, to gladden the 

 sight. But Graphic's portrait is lifelike, full of vigor, of quality, 

 and all over he looks a pointer. 



Tim, whose ancestral blood conies from the land whose elo- 

 quence, melodies and mirth have waked the world to wonder, 

 looks the Irish gentleman all over— stylish, upstanding, muscles 

 of steel, and just the fellow I would love to own. There are two 

 or three pictures, had I been Mason, I would have left out. That 

 wretched looking, long-eared Homer! Throe cities, they say, 

 claimed the original great Greek dead, which had spurned him 

 living! Well, the picture of Homer, the mastiff, certainly would 

 never make a village clown go wild over him. Let me advise, his 

 owner to have him sit again. I have never been much enamored 

 of collies, but Scotilla's artofype gives me a shepherd craze. 

 What a majestic mien! He looks the tireless guardian of un- 

 counted flocks, and none but he to know their number. 



Yes, it is a splendid book, splendidly gotten up, and it is a credit 

 to its author and its progressive publishers, the Forest and Stream 

 Company. To each nil honor and rich reward. And with count- 

 less good wishes for a glad, bright Christmas and a New Year 

 laughing with joy, I am, faithfully yours, Stuart Taylor. 



THAT RABBIT BAITING. 



MR. C. j, PESHALL. a well-known sportsman, who is Presi- 

 dent of the New Jersey Kennel Club, and also a member of 

 the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, was seen 

 by a reporter of Fobest ash Stbeam and asked for his views as 

 to the position Mr. P.ergh has taken in trying to stop the Hemp- 

 stead Coursing Club coursing with fox-terriers aud rabbits. He 

 said: 



"Mr. Bergh merits the thanks of all sportsmen for his efforts 

 in preventing all kinds and classes of cruell y, and surely this is 

 cruelty.". 



"Then yon regard this running rabbits with terriers as different 

 from that coursing which is allowed and recognized in England?" 



"Why, certainly, there are regularly organized coursing clubs, 

 and the gentlemen and sportsmen of England course the hare 

 with the greyhound. These meetings are usually well attended, 

 and even the ladies grace the m with their presence. The Long 

 Island coursing claims to be governed by the English rules. 

 It decidedly is- not. This Long Island coursing With the terriers 

 is called and designated by gentlemen and sportsmen in England 

 as rabbit baiting, and is only practiced by what are called pit 

 men and miners, or the lower classes. It is prohibited by 

 law, and the Royal Society prevents it whenever they find 

 it out, the same as they do rat baiting or dog fighting. 

 Rabbit baiting, rat baiting and dog lighting are usually 

 attended by the same class. I have here the rules 

 of the Hempstead Club aud it says 'from Stoneheuge.' 

 Cut if you look through the S;onehenge or English rules of the 

 coursing club you will not find the fox-terrier mentioned once. 

 You see that there has been one leaf added by this Long Island 

 club; and it is only in their bye-laws that this fox-terrier rabbit 

 coursing is mentioned. In California and Kansas- and some 

 other Western States you will find they are governed by the 

 English rules, aud tbat'this fox-terrier baiting is not once men- 

 tioned in the rules. In the West the coursing is with the greyhound 

 and what is known as the jack rabbit, which is similar to the 

 English hare, and the hare often escapes from the hounds." 



"Then you do not consider this Long Island rabbit coursing a 

 legitimate sport?" 



"Why, no, certainly not. No sportsman would shoot a quail on 

 the ground or deprive it of its natural means of escape before he 

 fires. Besides, this rabbit, baiting is not only cruel but an un- 

 manly sport, and if Mr. Bergh were to permit it ou Long Island 

 why should he prevent Mr. Gillhooly of the Bowery from renting 

 Madison Square Garden, charging an admission fee and then 

 bailing some fifty rabbits during an evening. I cannot see any 

 difference or distinction. 



"It is true that they do sometimes in England use the fox-ter- 

 riers and rabbits, but it is always done secretly, because for- 

 bidden by law. I will read you this from the English Stcjcli- 

 Keeper of Nov. 23 last: 



"By invitation of the genial and sporting spirit known in ken- 

 nel circles as Lord Love'e, we attended a fox-terrier coursing 

 meeting last Saturday afternoon. It was a cold windy day, and 

 Tottenham Hale did not appear in a comforting aspect as we 

 wended our way from the station to the Ferry Boat Inn. 'This 

 course constitutes a lap,' said his lordship, and we entered the 

 well-known resort of Lea fishermen tor a warming lap. Then 

 we picked our way in the soft ground along the riverside, shud- 

 dering at the gaunt, lonely look of the naked poplars. The river 

 itself looked so cold and miserable that we think had we been a 

 fish we should not have kept that lonely angler waiting so long 

 while we made up our mind to get out of it. 



"Arrived on the ground— a large treeless field — we found a small 

 paying inclosure, and beyond ft another fot members. There 

 were several book-makers present, who conducted their business 

 in the usual noisy manner, in spite of the notice on the card that 

 'No betting is allowed.' In a small building to the rear of the 

 members' enclosure the competitors were tied up in little com- 

 partments, built one above the other. The terriers wore 'rugged,' 

 and after each course were rubbed down and the rug put on again. 

 We were told the rabbits were an exceptionally strong lot, and 

 we certainly considered the slipping very efficient: but in spite of 

 these favorable facts we were unable to get up any feeling of ex- 

 citement over the business. The rabbits had no chance; only one 

 got away, and that was because he was not wanted, but we think 

 the prancing greyhound we, noticed on the other side of the palings 

 accounted for this runaway. 



"Most of the coneys took their death noiselessly, but out poor 

 little wretch squealed piteously,- When a rabbit is put down that, 

 is weak or si k, and ouly just makes a few nervous hops, a man 

 runs up to it, and with his heavy hoot -gives it a rlull-soundmg 

 kick, and throws it back in 1 he basket. This scone js so painful 

 that we would rather see a single terrier slipped on it. The light 

 was getting dim before the stakes were finished. We_inet a well- 

 known wire-haired 'oan on the ground, Mr. W, A. Nickalls, and 

 heard that ho lakes a gr. at interest iu iliis pastime. Mr. Frank 

 Redmond also rode up on horse rack, to watch the proceedings. 

 Mr. Redmond told us he had bought a coursing fox-terrier for an 

 American friend, and as he had heeu told that his purchase could 

 beat Cardigan, he wanted to see this dog's pet tormance— Cardigan 

 won the first stakes on the card. We hear that Mr. Redmond 

 afterward joined the club." 



"Now you will often find that the lower classes indulge in this 

 so-called sport, but there are very few gentlemen who would 

 witness it, and ladies never attend. Dalziel speaks of this illegal 

 sport as the poor man's coursing. I don't think that this rabbit 

 baiting will ever be practiced or become a popular sport in this 

 country. Cruelty publicly practiced and the .Society for the Pre- 

 vention of Cruelty to Animals cannot live in the same country. 

 And you may rest assured that the Society is going to live. Un- 

 manly sports can never flourish in America, except among the 

 low and debased, and will never receive the sanction of the law's 

 approval." 



ST. BERNARD IMPORTATION. — Editor Forest and 

 Stream: Mr. Harry L. Goodman, who has lately been in 

 England with a commission for me, returned on Thursday 

 last on the steamer Wyoming, bringing with, him the St. 

 Bernard dog, champion Burns, and the bitches Gloriana, 

 Miscabel and Chief tainess, all winners at the late shows, and 

 in addition to these the linos, smooth-coat St- Bernard St. 

 Michael, by Austin Friar. All are now at my kennels, Oak- 

 burst Kennels, Auburn Park, Ills., in charge of Mr. Good- 

 man, and as soon as recovered from his long journey Burns 

 will be placed in the stud— R. P. H, Durkee. 



SOUTH CAROLINA PET STOCK ASSOCIATION.— 

 The first step toward the organization of a pet stock and 

 poultry association for the State was taken at Charleston, 

 Nov. 28. A call had been made by Mr. G. T, Graham, of 

 Lexington, for all who were interested. A large number of 

 gentlemen answered the call, aud a temporary organization 

 was effected by requesting Mr. Graham to take the chair 

 and Mr. H. C. Caughman to act as secretary. Mr. Graham, 

 upon taking the chair, stated the object of the call, which 

 was to form an association which would be especially inter- 

 ested in the development and improvement of the poultry 

 and pet stock of the State. He reviewed the advantages 

 which would accrue from such development and improve- 

 ment, and the increased pleasure to be- derived from the pos- 

 session of a high grade of domestic animals. The follow- 

 ing names were then enrolled: F. W. Dawson, B. Mclnnes, 

 W. P. Colson, Rudolph Stealing-, M. F. Reynolds, E. Blod- 

 get, J. C. Hemphill, E. P. Welch, Charleston; John A. Gra- 

 ham, Chester; G. T. Graham. H. O. Caughman, H. A, 

 Meetze, J. H. Coutts, J. K. Davis, A. L. Nunnamaker. At 

 a meeting the next day the following gentlemen were ap- 

 pointed a, committee on organization: F. F. Chapeau, L. 

 W. Blcaise, W. P. Colson, B. Mclnnes, Eber Blodget, J. 

 Alwyu Ball, G. T. Graham. T. W.Reynolds, F. W. Dawson, 

 E. Willis, R. M. Solomons, J. O. Lea, F. C. Cunningham. 

 On motion of Mr. Bicaise it was resolved that the meeting 

 adjourn until Dec. 12.

 so the entry is all right but the name. The error was an inadvert-

 of Kansas City: "Kansas City, Mo., Nov. 23, 1888. Petross 

 Bros., Spriugdale, Ark. Gents: There are several large 

 banquets coming off here this winter and we are requested 

 to procure some bear meat lor them. We presume the price

 once and if not and know any hunter who gets such game 

 please hand him this and much oblige, Yours truly, 

 Richard Butler & Co. Shipping directions: Draw entrails

 this kind of meat the stipply was exhausted some twenty- 

 five years ago, and consequently Petross Bros, are unable to 

 fill the. order, but if Richard Butler & Co. should want some 

 of the best patent roller flour for their coming banquets 

 that is manufactured they are knocking at the right door.—
