A NEW S3FT. RACER.— One would hardly look to the Bronx 

 Kiver, a muddy creek unknown to any but the natives of West- 

 chester county, N. l.,to produce a rival to one of the fastest 

 yachts ever turned out on the Clyde; but on this same stream a 

 53ft. craft, is now building to compete with the hitherto uncon-

 schooners, the once famous Idler, owned by Mr. Colgate in New 

 York and for some years owned in Chicago, and the new schooner

 George Gooderham, of Toronto. The two met in 1888, vv hen Oriole

, T. R. E., Avoca, Pa— I own a valuable bitch, and have kept her 

 m confinement this past week, she being in heat. Unfortunately 

 yesterday she managed to escape and was lined by a cur. Is there 

 any possibility of my rendering the said cur's contamination fu- 

 tile? Ans. In about a week you might try giving large doses of 

 ergot, it would be a dangerous experiment, though. 



W. H P., Nashua, N. H.— Will you kindly inform me through 

 kennel departmeut what is probably ailing the dogs of this city? 

 Within the past week a nutnoer of dogs— some very valuable ones 

 among taem— have been stricken with what our local vet. calls 

 pa-alysis and died in a bout 12 h^urs. The animal affected appears 

 first to be a little stiff, hke a slight attack of rheumatism. Shortly 

 afterward the hindquarters become paralyzed, the disease affect- 

 ing the muscles of the throat also, making it extremely difficult 

 to breathe, and a little later impossible fo swallow. The animal's 

 eyes appear bright, nose cold aud brain clear. On Wednesday last, a 

 terrier belonging to my sister died in this way. We buried him, 

 thinking it would do no good to have a post mortem., as we called 

 the disease paralysis (as did the vet. we called in). Siuce then 

 dogs have died m various parts of the city in the same wav. two 

 of them owned by our immediate neighbors and within 200ft. 

 ot my house. It would seem to be a serious epidem'c, or else 

 poisoning. If it is epidemic, why do not other dogs kept with 

 those that die have it also? My pointer was the constant com- 

 panion and playmate of my sister's terrier, and he seems in per- 

 lect health. If it is poison, it must be something different from 

 anything we kmw of as likely to be used by the dog poisoner, 

 lhe dogs are all m seeming perfect health when attacked and die 

 ot exhaustion (apparently). It seems to attack all breeds, as I 

 know of a Newfoundland, setter, English bulldog and terrier that 

 have already bad it and died, and have heard of manv more 

 mostly curs. Ans. We should pronounce it poisoning; belladonna 

 or some oiher depressant, like aconite, Prussic acid, etc. You 

 should by all means have a post mortem and analysis of contents 

 of stomach.
