FOREST AND STREAM. 



3yrs., 34gs., and' Nell, curly-coated, lSJ^gs. Seven and a 

 half brace of dogs from Mr. Price realized the excellent 

 sum of 346gs. Two brace of Irish setters from Mr. J. M. 

 Niall brought 52><gs., although one of the animals appeared 

 to suffer from chorea. Sir T. B, Lennard's dogs did not sell 

 so well. The good-looking Chandos, a great winner on the 

 bench and perfect in the field, was cheap enough at 26gs., as 

 was Kite at 15gs., both bought by W. Nicholson, of Ercall 

 Heath; Belhus Duchess and Marcel changed hands at U}$gs, 

 Following these come the well bred and highly broken two- 

 and-a-half-vear-old retriever Darkey, tS^'gs ; Coch-y-Bon- 

 dhu, a black and white, pointer, who ran at the late Kennel 

 Club trials, and a right good dog, hi^gs., and Sam, a retriev- 

 ing spaniel, 8 years old, a close worker, ran up to 16gs. 

 Charles Bishop sold Blucher of Halesworth privately for 

 25gs., by no means more than his value; a peculiar colored 

 slate-liver brace of pointers went together for 26gs., well 

 matched they were in appearance; and Bella of Halesworth, 

 a lemon anclVhite bitch, changed hands at 30gs. Ben Hel- 

 lam, an old breaker, sold two brace of pointers and setters 

 for 4Sa;s., then several lots went for little money, until Wool- 

 ton Grouse (brother of Woolton Game, sold last week for 

 £150), a good-looking, rather leggy dog, was bought for less 

 than his value by Mr. T. Statter for 20gs. A number of 

 Clumber spaniels were sold, including Barney (10,467), a cup 

 winner at Edinburgh; Dash, a very good-looking dog, and 

 several others, at much below their value, at prices ranging 

 from lg. to 3gs. each, those from Mr. Assheton Smith's being 

 most promising, and cheap. A handsome orange and white 

 setter bitch. Belle, sold for 10gs., and a well-bred blue and 

 whi te setter. Ulverston Duke, for 6gs. The next sale, which 

 will be the last of the season, takes place on Friday, July 

 26, at the usual time.— London Field, 



CUPID'S RECORD. — Englewood, N. J., July 26.— Editor 

 Forest arid Stream: My Italian greyhound Cupid was a 

 prize winner at the following places: Cincinnati, Rich- 

 mond, New York, Troy, Albany, Utica, Rochester, Boston, 

 Worcester, and was given he. at Philadelphia for some un- 

 explained reason. No certificate of merit or prizp card was 

 sent me, except in two cases, viz., New York and Richmond. 

 Will you kiudly tell me if there is any way for me to prove 

 the above winnings (in case I wish to sell) unless I refer to 

 the A.K.R — Edith M. VanBuren. [The winnings of Cupid 

 are: Second New York, 1887. First, Boston, New Haven, 

 Syracuse, Richmond; and second Cincinnati, 1888. Second 

 New York; first, Boston, Worcester, Rochester, Troy, 

 Albany and Utica, and he. Philadelphia, 1889. This will 

 probably be accepted by a purchaser of the dog.] 



A COLLIE'S HEROISM. -Augusta, Ga., July 2a.— Last 

 week the heroism and intelligence of a collie dog was ex- 

 hibited in this city to a remarkable degree. A little white 

 boy, ten rears old," was walking the railroad trestle span- 

 ning the. Augusta canal, and fell through in water about 

 6ft. deep. A^collie dog belonging to the little boy had al- 

 ready passed over, but on hearing the cries of his young 

 master, immediately jumped in and dragged him to shore, 

 when he was assisted by men passing along. The photo- 

 graph of boy and dog is attracting much attention in front 

 of one of our galleries.— J. M. W. 



MASTIFF IMPORTATION.

 cultural Hall, beating the well-known Jubilee Beauty. 

 Also Ilford Cato, first Peoples Palace, 1887; second Crystal 

 Palace and Old English Mastiff produce stakes, 1888; and

BROOKLYN DOG SHOW. 



THE premium list of the first annual exhibition of the 

 Brooklyn Dog, Poultry and Pet Stock Association is 

 now ready for distribution. The show will be held at Ridge- 

 wood Park, Sept. 8 to 11. The judges so far announced are 

 Messrs. K. E. Hopf, H. C. Glover, T. F. Rackham, W. J.

DOG TALK. 



•'"PHE well-known St. Bernard champion Save died July 

 J_ 3. He was owned by Mr. J. F. Smith, of Sheffield, 

 Eng. Save has long been considered one of the finest speci- 

 mens of his breed ever shown, and his winnings have been 

 numerous and valuable, among them are the 100-guinea 

 challenge cup, which he won twice. 



It has been announced that Mr. John Davidson would 

 judge at different shows the second week in September. 

 Although his services have been requested at other places, 

 it is definitely stated that he will judge the sporting classes 

 at Toledo, Mr. H. W. Lacy taking the non-sporting. 



There is a report that Dr. Cryer has sold his pug bitch 

 champion Bessie in England to Mrs. C. Houlker, a well- 

 known breeder and exhibitor of pugs. 



Mr. Trenor L. Park, of this city, has purchased from Mr. 

 Alfred George, London, Eng., the bull bitch Mischief, 

 famous as the losing contestant in the recent "bulldog 

 match" between Messrs. Peace and Pybus-Sellon. 



It appears that the cropping question was not settled by 

 the English Kennel Club after all. Dr. Turner's resolution 

 as passed only proposes "to consider the advisability of tak- 

 ing into consideration the question of cropping." The mat- 

 ter is now in the hands of the Kennel Club committee, and 

 possibly some action upon the question ;may some time be 

 taken. 



In England it is felony to steal a dog's collar, but only a 

 misdemeanor to steal the dog. An act has recently been 

 introduced into Parliament providing that dogs shall be 

 deemed domestic animals within the meaning of the act re- 

 lating to the possession of property. It is certainly odd 

 that in la w the collar should be rated above the dog. This re- 

 minds us of a little circus that took place in an animal store 

 on Park Row, this city, the other day. One of the snakes 

 laid hold of a monkey and slowly but surely gulped her 

 down, the proprietor meanwhile with great presence of 

 mind taking off the monkey's collar, and saving at least so 

 much from the serpent's maw. 



PATSY AS A STUD DOG. — Des Moines, la.— Editor 

 Forest and Stream: On July 23 my Nino whelped thirteen, 

 six dogs, by Claremont Patsy (formerly Patsy), thus one of 

 Mr. Damon's first statements to me, to wit: that "Patsy is 

 a very strong stud dog," has, to a certain extent, proven 

 true. Of course we cannot tell what the puppies will be 

 like until they get some age, but I will say that they are of 

 very good color and have but little white on them. I am 

 glad that the Indiana Kennel Club is going to give Irish 

 setters a chance to distinguish themselves, and we all ought 

 to enter one or more of our dogs and give the public a 

 chance to see what they can do. Mr. Sweeney says he will 

 enter one and I will do the same. Let us all' come in and 

 make it a success. For my own satisfaction I would like to 

 see what some of our fine dogs can do in the field with hot 

 competition. In my judgment this is the only way we can 

 find out which are the best dogs to breed to to get fine field 

 performers.— F. H. Pekry. 



TORONTO DOG SHOW. — The bench show committee of 

 the. dog show to be held at Toronto Sept. 16 to 19, have de- 

 cided to offer #1,300 in prizes. The premium list will be 

 ready for distribution this week. In addition to the regular 

 prizes a large number of valuable prizes will be offered. 

 The Goverudi -General has signified his willingness to be- 

 come patron, and has donated a special prize of #50, which 

 will be awarded to the best kennel of English setters. The 

 address of the secretary is Cant. C. Greville Harston, Public 

 Library Buildiug. Toronto, (Jan. 



BLACK AND TAN SETTER STAKE.— New York, July 

 29— Editor Forest and Stream: A mistatement occurred 

 in my letter published in your issue, of last week which I 

 wish" to rectify. The Central Field Trial Association has 

 offered a special stake of #100 for black and tan setters, pro- 

 viding they receive ten entries and not less than eight 

 starters, the winner to take this stake. My previous letter 

 states that the winner is to be run against the English set- 

 ters, which is incorrect. Kiudly insert the above and oblige. 

 John H. Meyer. 



OTTAWA DOG SHOW.— We have received the premium 

 list of the dog show to be held at Ottawa, Can., Sept. 9 to 

 14, in connection with the second annual fair of the Central 

 Canada Exhibition Association. The prizes in the regular 

 classes are #7 and #3, with $5 for puppies. In addition there 

 are a large number of valuable specials already offered and 

 many more are promised. Mr. J. Otis Fellows will judge 

 all classes. Entries close on Aug. 31, and should be made to 

 the secretary, Capt. R. C. W. MacCuaig, Ottawa, Can.

KENNEL MANAGEMENT. 

 &&~ No Notice Taken ot Anonymous Correspondents. 



G. E. W., Littleton, N. H. — A spaniel has canker in her ear very 

 bad, her eyes run a little, the hair has come off around them; she 

 also scratches a great deal, but has no lice or flees. Please send 

 me aieceipt for it and oblige. Ans. Give five drops of Fowler's 

 solution in the food night and morning for three weeks. Keep 

 the bowels free with teaspoonftil doses of syrup of buckthorn and 

 use the following:

Bromo chloral 3i.

Mix. Let a few drops fall in the ears night and morning. 



Tupac.— What is the dog's normal temperature? I can find no 

 statement of it in standard works on canine pathology. Ans. 

 The normal mean temperature of t he dog is 00.4°. This would be 

 slightly increased if the thermometer were introduced into the

RANGE AND GALLERY, 



OUR TEAM ABROAD. 



IONDON, July 29.— The Massachusetts rifle team were received 

 J to-day at the Mantion House by the Lord Mayor of London, 

 who toasted them and congratulated them upon the many suc- 

 cesses they have achieved during their visit to England. Maj' r 

 Frost in returning thanks on bohalf of the team, said that the 

 courtesy showu by the Lord Mayor to American visitors was 

 proverbial. 



London, July 29.— The Ancient and Honorable Artillery Com- 

 pany gave a banquet to-night in honor of the Massachusetts rifle- 

 men. Major Jones presided. Mr. Lincoln, the United States 

 Minister, was among the guests. Mr. Lincoln, replying to a 

 toast to the President of the United States, dwelt upon the absence 

 of a military element in America. The Americans, he said, had 

 learned to do without large armies. A stranger tray r ehng from 

 New York to San Francisco, and thence to New Orleans and 

 Montreal, would leatn to be more surprised at the presence of a 

 soldier than at the sight of that remarkable bird called "ad- 

 jutant." 



On Thursday, July 18, Major Frost, in the name of the team, 

 presented their English honorary secretary, Mr. Gratwicke, with 

 a magnificent watch, in testimony of their high appreciation of 

 the services he had rendered to them, and of their regard tor him 

 personally. "A gift," says the Volunteer Service Gazette, "made in 

 such a manner is equally honorable to the donors and the re- 

 cipient. Certainly it would have been hard to find any one better 

 fitted for the arduous duties of English Secretary to the American 

 team than the able and cheery quartermaster of the 4th V. B. 

 Devon." 



On the day of the departure of the team from Wimbledon the 

 Volunteer Service Gazette voiced the sentiment of all British rifle- 

 men as follows: 



"Our Massachusetts visitors leave Wimbledon this afternoon 

 and go thence to Paris for about a week. They will make but a 

 very brief stay in London on their return, as they are to sail from 

 Liverpool by the City of Chicago on July El. We are sure that 

 we shall be joined by every one who has bten brought into con- 

 tact with Major Erost and his comrades in wishing them God 

 speed and a happy return home. They have, indeed, been most 

 courteous and friendly guests, and have throughout evinced the 

 utmost willingness to accept all the arrangements which they 

 fouud existing, inconvenient as some of them must have been to 

 them, Even m the case of the abandonment of the great match 

 with the North London Club, in respect to which some of us 

 might have been disposed to grumble a little, we find our mouths 

 closed by the American marksmen, who decline to admit that 

 they are in any way disappointed, or that any one is to be blamed. 

 We hope that as the Massachusetts riflemen have seen the death 

 of Wimbledon, they will have the curiosity to come and see 

 the birth of Bisley Common, where we can promise them a cor- 

 dial welcome.'' 



CANADIAN OFF-HAND SHOTS.-The Off-hand Rifle Associ- 

 ation shot its fifth match Jul v 23 for the championship, in a series 

 of ten matches. Each club shot over its own range. 'X he greatest 

 enthusiasm prevailed in the association. The last match of the 

 series will be shot at Orillia on Oct. 10, when all teams will be 

 present. The annual meeting will take place on the evening of 

 the first day, and individual prizes will he given for the second 

 day's shooting, A large sum of money will be distributed. A 

 valuable silver medal will he presented to the gentleman who 

 makes the highest average during the series of matches. The
