tice to place the runner up in the last heat next in order of 

 merit, notwithstanding the fact that the rules allow the 

 judges to select for the position any dog in the stake. There 

 is no question that the character of the work done by Game 

 when on birds is greatly superior to that done by* Count, 

 and in other respects he has no advantage, except' that his 

 greater experience gives him a little the best of it in work- 

 ing out the' ground. "With this exception the stake was 

 most excellently judged, and the dogs that possessed the 

 most natural ability were in front at the finish and properly 

 graded according to their merit. The work of the dogs 

 throughout the stake was a great improvement upon that 

 of last year, and the best, taken all round, that has been 

 seen since the inauguration of the stake. Following is a 

 complete summary: 



First Series. 

 Rip Rap beat Lad of Bow. 

 Consolation beat Fan Fan. 

 Count Fauster beat Fred. 

 Lebanon beat Seldom. 

 Duke of Hessen beat Pontiac. 

 Tammany Boy beat Roger Williams. 

 Woolton Game beat Miranda. 

 Bounce beat Dalgarouki. 



Second Series.

Final for First Place, 

 Rip Rap beat Lebanon and won first prize. 



Tics for Second Place. 

 Count Fauster beat Consolation. 



Final for Second Place. 

 Lebanon beat Count Fauster and won second. 

 Count Fauster placed third. 

 Woolton Game placed fourth. 

 First, Rip Rap, $300; second, Lebanon, $130: third, Count 

 Fauster, $50; fourth, Woolten Game, $50. 



THE CHAMPION STAKE. 



Chance had a walkover for the Champion Stake. Roder- 

 igo was lamed three weeks aero and Gath's Mark did not 

 start. Chance was put down on Wednesday morning under 

 Judges Hitchcock, Duryea and Coster, who unanimously 

 decided that he was entitled to the prize, and the Eastern 

 field trials of 1889 were finished. 



Taking everything into consideration, the meeting has 

 been perhaps as notable as any in the history of the club. A 

 nearer approach was made than has ever been done before 

 toward judging the work of the dogs upon the right princi- 

 ple, and in most cases the decisions were rendered in favor 

 of the animal that showed the best qualities that go to make 

 a good dog, irrespective of the. luck of the birds or the ad- 

 vantage of handling, and it is sincerely to be hoped that in 

 the future this step in the right direction will be followed 

 by others until judging at field trials shall become an exact 

 science and nothing be more sure than a win for the best 

 dogs. The club is to be heartily congratulated for inaugu- 

 rating this course as well as upon the success of its annual 

 meeting. In closing we wish to sincerely thank the officers 

 of the club and the judges for the many courtesies extended 

 as well as for their uniform kindness in imparting desired 

 information. We are. also greatly indebted to Mr. H. B. 

 Duryea for his kindness in giving valuable assistance in 

 taking notes of the work of the dogs. 



CENTRAL FIELD TRIALS. 



LEXINGTON", N. C, Dec. 1.— The drawing for the Setter 

 Derby of the Central Field Trial Club took place this 

 evening at 9 o'clcok. There were 42 nominations for the 

 stake, 7 of which filled their entry. They were drawn in 

 the following order: 



Rod's Ladt (Roderigo-Gay Gladstone), A. M. Hilder- 

 brantd, 



against 



Roval C. (Roderigo— Countess House), Memphis & Avent 

 Kennels. 



Rowdy Rod (Roderigo— Juno A.), Memphis & Avent 

 Kennels, 



against 



Nannie B. (King Noble- Queen Vashti), J. I. Case, Jr. 



Sam C. (King Noble— Cricket), J. I. Case, Jr., 

 against 



Letty Lynn (Roderigo— Countess House), Memphis & 

 Avent Kennels. 



Harry C. (Roderigo— Countess House) Memphis & Avent 

 Kennels, a bye. 



The judges are Messrs. Davidson. N. Wallace and W- 

 Tallin an. 



[Special to Forest cmc? Stream.] 



Lexington, N. C, Dec. 2.— The weather to-day has been 

 delightful. There was a heavy frost and scent was poor, 

 and the work was not very satisfactory. In the pre- 

 liminary series, Rod's Lady and Marquis N. were thrown 

 out. In the second series, Royal C. beat Nannie B., and 

 Rowdy Rod beat Sam C. This ended the work for the day. 



There were fifty-three nominations for the Pointer Derby, 

 sixteen of which filled. They were drawn as follows: Joy, 

 Jr. against Lou. Carlgrave against Nye. F. F. y. against 

 Sally P. Miss Mealy against Convex. Tough Nut against 

 NasoPeshall. Lady Hessen against Mamie Bang. Flirt 

 against Heineken. Rip Rap against Met. 



Lexington, N. C, Dec. 3.— The weather to-day has been 

 good, and birds were found in abundance. Harrv C. beat 

 Letty Lynn. In the third series Rowdy Rod beat Royal C. 

 Harry C. a bye. In the final for first Rowdy Rod beat Harry 

 C. and won first prize. Second place will be decided to- 

 morrow. Four braces were run in the Pointer Derby, but 

 not much good work was done, the most of it being very 

 ordinary. 



THE ALL-DAY FIELD TRIALS. 



THE All-Day field trials have been abandoned for lack of 

 support. Children have been crying for such a stake 

 for years, but the entries failed to come in, and it is to be 

 hoped that we have heard the last of the stav-at-homes that, 

 would not enter for anything short of a race that would test 

 the staying qualities of their world beaters. 



PATSY AFIELD,— Des Moines. Iowa. — I am pleased to 

 say that I have some very fine puppies out of Nino, by Patsy, 

 several of which will be prize winners. I shall show some 

 of them next year if I have no bad luck. Patsy has been 

 hunted almost continually this fall. He is as fine an Irish 

 field dog as I have ever seen. He has wonderful energy and 

 endurance, a good nose and fine bird sense. 1 could not ask 

 for a better field dog than Patsy, barring the fact that he 

 was broken not to retrieve, but 'to point dead. As to Patsy's 

 worth as a sire, I am sure his puppies will prove him a 

 gpod one.— F. H. Pejbry.

DOG TALK. 



|\JR. CHARLES N. SYMONDS, proprietor of the North 

 ±V1_ Fields Yorkshire Kennels, Salem, Mass., has recently 

 imported several fine specimens of his favorite breed. They 

 were selected by Richard Toon, a Sheffield breeder of repute, 

 who appears to have done his best for his employer. The 

 gem of the selection isFishpool Gem, only 41bs. weight; has 

 been shown once and took second to Model, and was re- 

 garded as the possible coming champion of England. The 

 others are Prince A I, weight 6>£lbs., a two-year-old with an 

 exceptionally fine coat, Yen us, a beautifully colored and 

 coated bitch, S^lbs., and Boon's Bright, a 41b. yearling, 

 which Mr. Symonds is willing to match against anything in 

 his class. Fishpool Model, another of the lot, died en route. 

 Mr. Symonds proposes exhibiting his string of nine or ten 

 dogs at the coming Westminster Kennel Club's show in 

 February next, sending them under the care of Mr. Geo. S. 

 Thomas who brought them across the Atlantic; and we are 

 requested to announce that in the meantime his kennels are 

 always open for inspection by any lovers of the breed who 

 may favor him with a visit. 



Mr. Pierre Lorillard, Jr., has engaged the services of Mr. 

 Chas. S. Tucker, of Stanton Depot, Tenn., to take charge of 

 his kennel for the coming year. Mr. Tucker will devote his 

 time entirely to the dogs and will train none for other 

 parties.

KENNEL MANAGEMENT. 



No Notice Taken o* Anonymous Correspondents. 



Rochester. — I have a seven months setter bitch who ever since 

 she was three months old has passed blood from her bladder. 

 After she urinates naturally she will strain and pass from a few 

 drops to a teaspoonful of bright red blood; her appetite is not 

 good and she is thin in flesh. Will you kindlv tell me what is 

 hest to do ? Ans. Give small doses of ergot and iron in pill form. 

 Also grams of quinine daily and put acetate of potassium in the 

 milk you give in order to render the urine bland and less ir- 

 ritating. 



G. L. V. T., West Newton, Mass.— A cocker eight weeks old is 

 all right every way excepting that he has very little use of his 

 hmdlegs. At times he will walk several feet, then over his hind - 

 legs will go and he will drag them after him. Ho has been so ever 

 s' nee he started to walk. He is perfectly well otherwise. Ans. 

 Ihe trouble is due to paralysis. The paralysis may be functional, 

 m which case the outlook for recovery is good, or it may be 

 organic, i. e., due to some structural change or lesion in the 

 spinal cord. In the latter case the outlook is bad. If functional, 

 small doses of strychnine or mix vomica will help, also electricity 

 and rubbing and blister over spine. It may be due to worms. 

 Purge with oil and give 5 or 10 grains of powdered arecanutinpill 

 form. Give 5 grains of quinine in a pill everv day for a week. 

 You can conceal the pill in a bit of meat. 



W. D. G , Boyce P. O , Va— Pointer bitch has been sick since 

 Nov. 1. Her case is viz.: Her fasces come in small quantities, 

 and often have a bloody appearance. She is very weak and don't 

 want to move about much. I consulted a doctor, he recommended 

 Dover's powders and calomel, but she don't seem to improve 

 much. Any favors will he highly appreciated. Will remit 

 charges as soon as bill received. Ans. Have the following pill 

 made up: 



? Ext. ergotaa grs. 3ss 



Ext. opii grs. iii 



Ferri sulphat grs. xii 



Mix. Fit pil No. 12. Sig. Give one three times daily con- 

 cealed in a morsel of meat. If she is very weak, give teaspoonful 

 of brandy in water 3 or 4 times daily.

 Drive.— If you will send us your name we will he glad to publish 

 our story of Pike County Shooting. 



H. "W. S.. Tom's River.— 1. We consider the rifles of the two 

 makes practically equal in accuracy. 2. A .38cal. would do for 

 Maine big game, but a larger caliber would be preferable. 



P. G., Philadelphia.— Can yon please inform me where I can 

 purchase a metal scratch brush for cleaning a .SScal, rifle? I 

 have inquired several places here, hut Dobodv seems to keep 

 them. Ans. Apply to Henry C. Squires, 178 Broadway, New York.

 ing? 2. Also for deer? Ans. 1. Use SJ^drs. powder, l^oz. No. 6 

 shot. 2. See method mentioned in "Kentucky Deer Chat," page 

 366, last issue. 



J. M. B., Newport, R. I.— A letter sent to you has been returned 

 The trouble with the dog was probably that it was not quite the 

 right time, and he. knew this. Had you waited it would probabiv 

 have been all right. 



W. S. B., Jamaica Plain, Mass.— Which is the more fashionable 

 of these two breeds, the bulldog or the bull-terrier, and also what 

 is the most fashionable color? Ans. 1. Bull-terrier. 2. White is 

 the only color for bull-terriers recognized bv judges. 2. Brindle 

 is about the best color for a bulldog. 



C. E. K., Bridgeport.— Suppose that a man should take a black 

 and tan bitch and breed her to a fox-terrier, take the bitch pup 

 and breed her to a black and tan, and take one of her pups and 

 breed her to a black and tan, would he have a full blood black 

 and tan or not? Ans. The last progeny would be seven-eighths 

 black and tan and one-eighth fox-terrier. 



J, A. L., Oswego, N. Y.— 1. I recently read that there are no 

 more copies of Coues's "Key to North American Birds" to be had; 

 is that so? 2. Is it lawful in New York State to shoot ducks from 

 a small open yacht? 3. Does chilled shot in anv way injure the

C. F. L., Cambridge.— 1. Will you tell me whether it would be 

 advisable to clip or shave a Caniche poodle at this time of the 

 year? The poodle is now seven mouths old and has never been 

 shown. 2. Why is it that the first litter of pups are considered to 

 be inferior to subsequent litters? Is it. true that they are inferior? 

 3. Where can I find the best article on the Great Dane? On the 

 Caniche poodle. Ans. 1. You had better wait until spring. 2. No. 

 3. Good articles on both these breeds in "The Book of the Dog," by 

 Vero Shaw, for sale at this office. 



G. H. H., Yamaska, Canada.— 1. Is the Canadian partridge 

 called a pheasant in some parts of the United States? 2. Is what 

 we call a quail what you call a partridge? 3.1s what all sports- 

 men here admit and know to be a snipe anywhere in the States 

 called a "woodcock" by sportsmen? Ans. 1. The "Canada part- 

 tridge" is, we presume, Denclragapus canadensis, known as Can- 

 ada grouse, spruce grouse, spruce partridge, cedar partridge, 

 swamp partridge, wood partridge, wood grouse, black grouse and 

 spotted grouse. In some parts of Maine it is called heath-hen 

 (See Trumbull's "Names and Portraits of Birds which Interest 

 Gunners.") The term "pheasant" is in some parts applied to the 

 ruffed grouse IBonasa umbellus). 2. The term "partridge" is by 

 some applied to the quail (Colinus virginianus). 3 We do not 

 know that the term woodcock is anywhere applied by sportsmen 

 to the snipe. 



T. M. P., Silver Creek, Nebraska.— Please name the best trout 

 flies for the months of September and October in the headwaters 

 of the Snake River, Idaho and Wyoming. Also the best leader to 

 use with the same, and the best line and number of yards neces- 

 sary. I would be pleased to read in your paper some accounts 

 from parties who have visited the above country hunting and 

 fishing. I expect to take the trip myself in the fall of 1890, and 

 would like all the information necessary to make the trip a suc- 

 cess. What I need most is details as to fishing tackle, arms, 

 camp outfit, etc. Will some one answer through Forest and 

 Stream and perhaps enlighten a large portion of the readers of 

 this valuable paper ? Ans. The best flies for the Snake River in 

 September and October will vary with the angler; the black and 

 brown hackles are recommended by many persons. October is an 

 uncertain month as to weather. Write to any reliable dealer for 

 a selectiou of general flies for trout averaging a pound to lj^lbs. 

 Persons who have fished in the region mentioned have used grass- 

 hoppers, crickets and natural flies on which the fish were seen to 

 be feeding. Try to match these flies out of your collection, use 

 30 or 40yds. of tapered waterproof line of braided silk. No. 3 or E 

 or No. 4 or F. The leader should be 3 or If t. long, depending upon 

 the number of flies in your cast, and should be about equal in 

 diameter to the line. See Forest AND Stream of April 4, Julv 

 4 and Oct, 10, 1889. ■
