[Sept. 19, 1889. 



COURSING AT LOUISVILLE. 



{.Special Report.'] 



THE coursing season of the fall of 1889 was opened at the 

 Jockey Club track, "Louisville, Ky., by the National 

 Coursing Association of Hutchinson, Kan'. The dates fixed 

 for the meeting. Sept 4 to 7, unfortunately fell in the rainy 

 season, and the first two days' races were necessarily post- 

 poned. This made a serious hitch in the programme; many 

 from a distance were sadly disappointed, and several of tbe 

 entries were not present; but, notwithstanding the unfavor- 

 able conditions, the morning of the 6th being bright and 

 clear, the management were at the track eirlv, and before 2 

 o'clock P. M. everything was in order, and tbe famous race- 

 course, where the great Proctor Knott was trained, was to 

 witness the most novel racing event ever seen east of the 

 Missouri River. The postponement from day to day, aud 

 the shortness of time for notifying the public, naturally 

 brought but a small attendance; "but if small in numbers, 

 there was no lack of enthusiasm, which at times was un- 

 bounded, the crowd cheering so lustilv thatin two instances 

 the greyhounds were so thoroughly frightened as to turn 

 from pursuing the jack rabbit, and flee for safety to their 

 masters. 



There is no further question as to the practical success of 

 coursing away from the home of the jack rabbit, the western 

 prairies, as the success of the meeting just closed has de- 

 monstrated. 



Coursing with jack rabbits after shipping them hundreds 

 of miles, was in a measure experimental, and to see such 

 speed as they showed to their long tailed pursuers was fairly 

 a source of astonishment, even to the managers of the asso- 

 ciation. The jacks came through safely from Hutchinson. 

 Kas., and after the second day regained their form, and 

 were in good racing conditiou, as shown by the result of 

 the contests, only five rabbits being caught in the fourteen 

 courses, the winner of the stake, Snow, being carried clear 

 through the course in two instances, with but two turns to 

 her credit. The original programme called for two stakes 

 of twenty dogs each, but one stake was necessarily dropped, 

 as other dates could not be secured in which to complete 

 the full programme. 



The Louisville Derby Stake closed with eighteen entries, 

 composed of doss principally from Louisville and New 

 Albany, the entries being limited to dogs owned in Ken- 

 tucky, Ohio, and Indiana. In the entries were the names 

 of Prince B., winner of first at the July running meeting in 

 Louisville, and Brandt, the runner-up. The name of Socks, 

 the runner-up in the Great Bend Derby, at the meetiug of 

 the American Coursing Club at Great Bend, Kan., October, 

 1888, was quite prominent, but unfortunately he was at- 

 tacked by a large bull-mastiff, and so seriously lacerated 

 that he was unable to compete in the stakes, and it remained 

 for his kennel companion Snbw to carry off the honors. 

 The local interest was great, and throughout the several 

 races were watched as intently as any racing event ever held 

 on the Jockey Club track. Old running horsemen were in 

 the stands, with stop-watches in hand, and their disappoint- 

 ment was very noticeable when the rabbit and dogs would 

 swerve from their course and break the straight quarter. 

 In only one instance was the time accurately secured, and 

 that was in a course with a brace of slow dogs. The time 

 was caught at 37 seconds. Repeated efforts were made by 

 an enthusiastic owner of a fast greyhound to match a race 

 for a quarter or half with a thoroughbred, but although 

 the greatest confidence was expressed by the owners of the 

 flyers, no definite arrangements could be made; but in the 

 near future the fact will be demonstrated as to which is the 

 fleeter of the two animals. 



The course was prepared by fencing the track on both 

 sides down the stretch with a mesh wire, to prevent the 

 rabbit from escaping. About two hundred yards below the 

 judges' stand a permanent corral is made with heavy duck 

 canvas eighty feet square and eight feet high. This is the 

 home of the jack rabbits: just above the quarter-pole a tem- 

 porary corral is also made of the same material, but much 

 smaller. Shortly before the race begins the jack rabbits are 

 driven up the track to their corral, and are allowed to 

 escape one at a time, two dogs in slips being in waiting for 

 them to appear; and as the hare glides from the chute the 

 eager greyhounds spring to the slips, and at the word the 

 slipper pulls the spring and they are away. Down the 

 course they come, the long ears of the jack rabbit laid close 

 on his back; and only a light gray streak is seen taking a 

 straight line for the escape, with his swift and silent pur- 

 suers rapidly closing in on him; but the peculiar formation 

 of his head and eyes enables him to see straight over his 

 back, and as the greyhounds approach he lets out a kink 

 and flashes under the wire and through the brush to the 

 corral, and is safe. The judge closely following in the wake, 

 waving the winning flag, either red or white. 



In a few instances the rabbit was caught, but the invisible 

 wire muzzle worn by the dogs prevented serious injury, and 

 the slip steward's assistant was promptly on hand, to assist 

 in protecting the hare. The dogs, although a good looking 

 lot, were inexperienced, and in a few instances refrained 

 from running the rabbit, for which they were promptly dis- 

 qualified, the rules of the American Coursing Club govern- 

 ing all contests, and being rigidly adhered to. Mr. D. C. 

 Luse, secretary of the National Coursing Association, acted 

 as judge, and Mr. M. E. Allison performed the duties of slip 

 steward. 



In the first series W. H. Gray's black dog Prince beat W. 

 W. Daniel's dark dog Swift. Joe. H. Kraft's white bitch 

 Snow beat Mr. S. D. Duff's Duff's Beauty. J. Elmer 

 Bush's fawn dog Prince B. beat A. M. Y onus's white dog 

 Alphonso. J. D. Hill's fawn dog Rocket beat Win. Nord's 

 blue bitch Queen. Mrs. John R. Botto's fawn dog Brandt 

 beat Gus Kraft's blue and fawn dog Kraft's Beauty. Arnold 

 Held's fawn dog Bob fngersoll beat W. JSI. Daniel's fawn 

 bitch Kelpie. Tom J. Sandrum's blue and white dog Count 

 beat W. N. Daniel's black and white bitch Beauty D. 



The reports of the races in the daily papers, and the 

 vigorous advertising of the races on the following day, 

 when the winners were run off, brought a very large arid 

 enthusiastic gathering, and there was a ripple of excite- 

 ment when course by course was run off, and only two of 

 the fleetest were led up the stretch for the final contest. 

 The contest was between a New Albany dog and a Louis- 

 ville dog, the runner up at the July races. They were 

 loosed to a good rabbit, but as the dogs struggled to get 

 free the big fellow, Brandt, broke from the slips while the 

 rabbit was but a scant fifty yards away, and the slipper at 

 once loosened Snow, and in the run-up Snow scored a 

 decided go-by, and was first to the hare, turned it to the 

 big dog, who accepted the opening, and scored a trip, and 

 as they straightened to the course S'iow again made a 

 go by. tripped and caught. The wildest excitement pre- 

 vailed as the announcement was made that Snow, the New 

 Albany dog, had won. 



Snow, the winner, is a pure white bitch, weighing about 

 581bs., strongly built, with exceptionally large chest, ribs 

 well sprung, well arched back, close-coupled, strong quar- 

 ters. Her most noticeable faults are a rather short though 

 fairly well-formed head, and very short tail heavily covered 

 with hair. Her ©wner, Mr. Joe H. Kraft, of New Albany, 

 has recently purchased Socks of Roger D. Williams, of Lex- 

 ington, Ky., and will send both of them to Kansas the com- 

 ing week, to be fitted up for the meetings at Hutchinson 

 and Great Bend. He will also send a youngster to compete 

 in the Derby. 



The runner-up Brandt is a very large, finely-formed dog, 

 weighing about 751bs. He is a rich golden brown, stands 

 well on his legs, close coupled, and with a well arched back. 

 One can truly say that he is a grand, good, well-balanced 



large dog. He is said to have been imported by Von der 

 Abe of the St. Louis Browns. The summary of the races is 

 as follows: 



~ . First Series. 



Prince beat Swift. 



Snow beat Duff's Beauty.

Thenext meeting of the series will be held at St. Louis, 

 Mo., Sept. 21 and 23, tbe Association being unable to secure 

 other satisfactory dates. After the St. Louis meeting, ar- 

 rangements will be made for the meeting at the Association 

 grounds m Hutchinson, Kan., after which time dates will 

 be made for other points abroad. 



DOG TALK. 



MR. EDWARD E. INGALLS, of Ithaca, N. Y.. owns a 

 St. Bernard bitch named Selma. He writes letters ou 

 tbe letter paper of G. W. Ingalls & Co. On June 24 he tore 

 off the letter head so as to disguise the oritrin of the letter 

 and wrote to us as follows: "Will you tell me through the 

 columns of your next issue (1) the registration number, if 

 registered, (2) the pedigree, also (3) name and address of 

 owner of Selma, a rough-coat St. Bernard bitch ?— C. W B. 

 Ithaca, N. Y." The" name C. W. Bower was added in 

 parentheses, and there was nothing to show that the letter 

 signed C. W, B, was written by lugalls, the owner of Selma 

 In our issue of June 27 we replied that the bitch was not 

 registered. Thereupon Mr. Edward E. Ingalls, alias C. W 

 Bower, wrote us: "A fellow townsman of mine asked of 

 you some information about the rough-coat St. Bernard 

 Selma. He asked these questions: 1. What is her registra- 

 tion number, if registered? 2. What is her pedigree? 3. Who 

 owns her? Now, we sportsmen in Ithaca do not want to 

 think anything but kindly toward Forest asjj STREAM. So 

 out of justice to me and my dog will you kindly answer 

 C. W. B.'s questions in your next issue. You will 'find her 

 registered iu A. K. C. S. B. with full pedigree. Trusting 

 you wili correct this I remain a constant, reader of Forest 

 and Stream.— Edward E. Ixoalls." Subsequent to our 

 reply in issue of June 21 we received the June number of the 

 Gazette, and in it was contained the registration number 

 13,522, and the pedigree, Merchant Prince— Reuse], and the 

 owner's name, Edward E. Ingalls, Ithaca, N. Y. To Mr 

 Bower alms Ingalls we tender a tardy apology for this late 

 reply, and to Mr. Ingalls alias Bower an apology for bavin"- 

 quite unwittingly deprived him of the free advertisement he 

 was after. And we shall go right on answering questions 

 and giving such aid as we can to inquirers, with perfect 

 confidence that ninety-nine of them are honest and only the 

 hundredth a fraud of the Ingalls-Bower, Bower-Ingalls 

 stripe. 



In compiling a list of the awards at the Brooklyn dog 

 show last week, we had no end of trouble, and if the mis- 

 take mentioned below is the only one made, we shall be 

 thankful. Mr. John Keevan writes: "The Erminie Ken- 

 nels of Mt. Vernon, N. Y.. referred to in your issue of last 

 week as the "Germania Kennels," was represented at the 

 late bench show held under the auspices of the Brooklyn 

 Kennel Club, by two exhibits. Barry II. in the challenge 

 class for rough-coated St. Bernard dogs, and Greta, in the 

 open class for rough-coated bitches; the former winuing 

 first and the latter equal second prize." 



Mr. John M. Weigle, of Augusta, Ga., is engaged in writ- 

 ing a book on practical dog training for field work. He has 

 had considerable experience in handling pointers and setters 

 for his own amusement, and he will doubtless give us some- 

 thing well worth reading. 



"The Pocket Kennel Record," published by the Forest 

 and Stream Publishing Company, has been issued with new 

 style of blanks, prepared by the editor of these columns; 

 and it will be found even more convenient and complete 

 than the old form. 



The dog show held at Toronto this week is reported to be 

 the most successful of the fall shows so far. The entries 

 foot up 329, and among them are a large number of valuably 

 dogs. A full report will appear next week. 



In the advertisement of the Central Field Trial Club last 

 week the first prize in the All- Aged Setter Stake was inad- 

 vertently printed $200 It should have been £250, the same 

 as in the Point er Stake. 



PENNSYLVANIA'S NEW DOG LAW. — Editor Forest 

 and, Stream: The following clipping from one of our 

 papers may prove of interest to some of your readers. The 

 paragraph making dogs personal property and subject to 

 larceny is certainly a step in the right direction. But will 

 you, Mr. Editor, kindly interpret to me this new la w at the 

 point where it says: "The law does not repeal or affect the 

 provisions of any existing special law on the same subject 

 in any county or district." We have here a borough ordin- 

 ance providing for the taxation of dogs in our borough at 

 the rate of #1 for dogs and $2 for bitches. Will we be 

 obliged to pay both taxes— this borough tax and the one 

 provided for in this new law?— A. C. Krleger. The law 

 provides that there shall be collected annually from tbe 

 owners of dogs a tax of 50 cents for every male dog and $1 

 for every female dog. This money shall constitute a fund, 

 from which persons sustaining a loss or damage to sheep by 

 dogs may be paid for such loss, along with the costs neces- 

 sarily incurred in establishing their loss. Persons who have 

 sustained loss or damage to sheep may make complaint be- 

 fore any Justice of the Peace, and the latter shall notify the 

 owner of the dog or dogs causing the loss, and if the owner 

 does not appear "as soon as practicable" and pay the loss 

 caused by his dog the Justice shall notify the township 

 auditors to appraise the loss sustained by the claimant; 

 they have the power to summon witnesses and investigate 

 the case thoroughly, and shall determine and report to the 

 Justice the amount of the damage, if any. If it shall be 

 found at the close of the current year that the dog tax is 

 not sufficient to pay for all the losses incurred under the 

 law, then the School board shall pay a pro rata share to the 

 several claimants; if the funds are sufficient, then the claims 

 shall be paid in full. All dogs in the State are made per- 

 sonal property and subject to larceny. Justices shall be 

 allowed a fee of fifty cents in every case that comes before 

 them. Owners of dogs causing loss may voluntarily pay the 

 damage without waiting action. Iu case there is a surplus 

 in the sheep fund in the hands of the treasurer at the close 

 of the current year amounting to $100, the same shall be 

 transferred to the school fund of the district for school pur- 

 poses. The law does not repeal or affect the provisions of 

 any existing special law on the same subject in any country 

 or district. [The new tax is evidently m addition to local 

 taxes.]

KENNEL MANAGEMENT. 

 O^* No Notice Taken ot Anonymous Correspondents. 



W. T., Ikanwood.— Ans. Dog has worms. Give tablespoonful of 

 castor oil and three bours after 30 grains of powdered arecanut 

 made into a large pill with lard. G've another dose of oil three 

 hours after the pill. Feed milk only du'ing treatment. 



A Subscriber, Harrison, N. J.— 1 have a young retriever bitch 

 about seven months old that is troubled with Inrge white worms 

 about l^j or Sin. long. Would jou please inform if there is any 

 cure? Ans. Give two teaspoons of castor oil and follow this in 

 three hours with a pill made of 20 grains of pnwdered areca nut 

 This, if made with lard, can ue forced down thn throat. Give 

 another dose of oil in an hour after the pill. Feed milk only 

 while treating. 



G. C. B., Buffalo.— When breathing my collie dog gives a very 

 funny twitch sideways from his head to behind his shoulders 

 When lying dowu and trying to sleep bis bieath becomes very 

 irregular, uut.il be suddenly jumps up with a start. He was shot 

 in the forebg shortly ago, but the wound has healed and if is now 

 eutirely well. He is in very good si>irit and will romp and play as 

 much as ever. Ans. It may be a ceutr il spinal trouoie. If so, 

 little good can be done for it. If it is a funcional trouble, strych- 

 nine, iron, quinine and exercise, with good food, will benefit. Let 

 some physician look at your dog. 



H. A. S., Chelsea, Mass.— A collie dog two years old had a touch 

 of mange, and we applied an oiutment which soon cured the 

 mange and the hair grew out all right. This was about a year 

 ago. and ever since a humor has been coming out in raised 

 blotches as large as a nickel, which seem to itch terribly. Tbe 

 dog will ecratcb and rub so as to produce a sore. Have used au 

 ointment which will cure the sore, but next day it will break out 

 again. Ans. Use an oi rumen t made of equal parts of diachylon 

 and zinc oxide ointments. Give5dropsof Fowler's solu' ion higbt 

 and morning in tbe tood. Keep the oovvels free by use of syrup of 

 buektnorn, 



H. B.. White House. N. J.— My setter dog, four years old, appears 

 all right, but is sometimes suddenly taken with very severe pains 

 in bind parts, losing the use of tbem, and struggling violenth ; 

 appetite fair; tires easily. I think it is worms. What can I do 

 for him? Aus. If you are certain that the dog has worms, give 

 a generous purge of castor oil, oue or two tablespoonfuls, and fol- 

 low this in three bours with a large pill containing SOgrs. of pow- 

 dered areca nut. Feed only milk for two or three days. After 

 this treatment give a 2-grain pill of the citrate of iron and strych- 

 nine three times daily hidden in a morsel of meat.
