 club's officers for 1890. 



IANTHE C. C. CAMP-FIRE.— Winter canoeing has been very 

 active about New York this winter, and a number of meetings 

 and camp-fires have served to keep canoeists together. One of 

 the pleasantest of the season was that of the Imthe C. C. of 

 Newark on Feb. 26. A large audience, including many ladies, 

 was present in Library Hat], Newark. The performauce opened 

 with an exhibition of lantern slides by Mr. F. L. Dunnell, Secretary 

 and Treasurer of the A. C. A. The views, illustrating races, 

 cruises and the A. C. A. meets, were explained by Mr. Wil- 

 kin, of the Brooklyn C. C. Later in the evening the Yonkers C. C. 

 quintette sang a number of songs and gave some very acceptable 

 music on the banjo, guitar and mandolin. After this the stage 

 was set to represent a canoe camp, with a couple of tents, a canoe 

 with a big racing rig, and a roaring camp-fire of real wood. A 

 group of canoeists about the fire sang a number of camp songs, 

 the whole scene being very realistic. The evening ended with 

 the exhibition of some views of Jessup's Neck, where the next A. 

 C. A. meet will be held. The entertainment was quite a success, 

 and does much credit to the Ianthe O. C, while it is likely to 

 bring in many new recruits from the neighborhood of Newark.

T.— 1. Can you identify these birds? They were the size of i 

 red-winged blackbird, brick red in color except the wings an.', 

 tail, which were a reddish brown, bill short but very thick an> 

 strong. A small flock of half a dozen were feeding oil the scru ; 

 pines— were very tame. 3. If a stranger shoots a rabbit ahead oi 

 my dogs is the game his or mine? What is the "hunter's law I 

 Ans. 1. Impossible to answer definitely. Birds may have bee 

 pine grosbeaks (Pinicola enucleatnr). 2. Generally accepted law l 

 that the game belongs to the dog that gets up to it first. 



A. C. E., Valentine, Neb.— I have a cocker spaniel about llmoe 

 old; he is a splendid dog in ail respects, but he has no scent. Thf 

 last time I hunted with him is about two months ago, and I 

 found that this d og will actually walk over a dead grouse whei 

 sent to retrieve and not scent the same, also I have several time! 

 shot grouse and sent the dog to retrieve and he has passed withii 

 a foot of the dead bird, back and forth, but could apparently no 

 scent the same. What can I do to improve this dog's scent? 

 have been very cautious in regard to food, feeding very litth 

 meat. He had a slight touch of mange about, four months ago 

 perhaps that affected his nose to some extent. Ans. If the dog i 

 naturally deficient in scenting power there is no help for him: bu. 

 if the trouble is from disease he will probably improve in nose an 

 ho gets over his trouble.
