THE COURSING MEET, 



[Special to Forest and Stream.'] 



GREAT BEND, Kansas, Oct. 21— The meeting has a 

 decided damper in the hard rain which put a stop to 

 everything. There will be no running to-day, but we hope 

 to see things moving to-morrow. There are sixteen entries 

 in the All- Aged Stakes and ten in the Puppy Stakes. The 

 class of dogs on hand is of the highest grade e'ver yet seen at 

 a meet here, and the winner must do some good work before 

 he comes out on top. E, Hough. 



COLLIES IN AMERICA,— Philadelphia, Pa., Oct. 15.— 

 Editor Forest and Stream: In reply to the remark of your 

 correspondent J. W. ( we beg to say^ that there is no likelihood 

 of anychange, eitherin the management or interest taken in 

 the Chestnut Hill Kennels; but we are of the opinion that in 

 view of the fact that tne United States now have as good 

 blood as can be found in the world, and many dogs are com- 

 ing out at the shows year by year that could compete in the 

 best ranks in England, it is not likely that importations will 

 continue to any great extent. We hope to have plenty of 

 good youngsters to show next winter and spring, but feel 

 that we must be prepared to meet the severest competition. 

 We mention, merely for the interest of breeders, that we 

 have seen more good collie bitches distributed over the coun- 

 try within the last 18 months, than have been called to our 

 attention since we have been interested in the breed. These 

 are most of them American-bred, and we shall expect, from 

 this fact, that next year — even more than the present one — 

 will show such an improvement in the general run of collies 

 upon the show benches, that it will be patent almost to every- 

 body that breeders in this country are now well on the way — 

 already reached by many of those^ in England— of being com- 

 paratively' sure, with judicious mating, of securing invariably r 

 typical stock. The disadvantage hitherto has not been lack 

 of good stud dogs, but lack of good typical brood bitches.— 

 The Chestnut Hill Kennels. 



DOG CHAT. 



HHHE great coursing event of the year at Great Bend, Kan- 

 J- sas, is now in full swing, and news of the results of the 

 different stakes will be looked for anxiously. This year 

 especially, for two of our Eastern greyhounds, Mr. Belmont's 

 Mmme Staton and Mr. J. H. Watson's Drytime, will take 

 part m the fun. "Our only German" and Mr. Watson 

 started on their long journey Oct. 11. We do not know 

 much of Drvtime's capabilities, but she is bred to go for is 

 she not by Britain Still out of Haytime ? Minnie Staton 

 we know can hold her own with most of them, as shown in 

 the easy manner m which she mowed down her opponents 

 at the Eastern Coursing Club's meet last New Year's day. 

 VYehear that both have been put into good fettle, Mr. 

 Phister, of Cincinnati, writes us that he has already sent to 

 the meeting his three greyhounds, Norwegian, who 'is a half 

 brother to the great Fullerton, Belle of Eltham, his litter 

 sister, and Nettlefield, the .latter by Dick Dog out of Cam- 

 barne. Belle of Eltham is particularly fast, They have 

 been put id the hands of Dr. Von Hummell, and having 

 been several weeks out there, they will ere this have become 

 accustomed to the plains. Although these dogs have only 

 ,1 ust about recovered from their fearful experiences on the 

 voyage, over, being three of those. Col. North so generously 

 donated to Mr. Phister in the early summer, they will no 

 doubt give a good account of themselves, and the 'half-way 

 State of Ohio may scoop in some of the ducats. Mr. Phister 

 tells us that he has decided to show these dogs on the cir- 

 cuit next spring, and will put them in charge of Mr. Wil- 

 liams, of the Rookwood-Landseer Kennels. 



The great meeting at Merced, Cal., will no doubt be well 

 attended, for there are many good greyhounds owned on 

 the Pacific coast, and the announcement of the goodly sum 

 the International Coursing Association has collected for 

 prizes, has put life into all the greyhound men. After a 

 week's rest from their labors at Great Bend, most of the 

 hounds will journey to the Merced plateau. Among the list 

 of probable entries we notice Midnight, a son of old Mother 

 Demdike, by Friday Night, and also two of his sons out of 

 Peasant Girl. 



Speaking of the Great Bend meeting, reminds us of the 

 solid sil ver cup the National Greyhound Club of this city is 

 giving for the winner of the All- Aged Stake, and a picture 

 of which we set before our readers this week. Though only 



THE NATIONAL GREYHOUND CLUB CUP. 



organized this summer, this specialty club has made rapid 

 strides and now counts some fifty-six members on the roll, 

 among whom are all the prominent greyhound men of the 

 country, and several new members will be balloted for at 

 the coming meeting. We have also received photos of the 

 proposed medal which the club intends to donate at the 

 different shows. On the obverse side will be several scenes 

 in the field, in which deerhounds, greyhounds and the 

 Barzoi take part, on the reverse is a sort of coat of arms, 

 with a greyhound and a deerhound holding up a shield, 

 something after the style of the lion and unicorn in the 

 English coat of arms. The medal is to be 3in. in diameter, 

 and of solid silver. The rough design was made by Mr. 

 Huntington, who has already done so much for the breed 

 in this country. These medals are intended to be the finest 

 of the kind ever offered in this country. 



We understand there is to be a bench show of dogs in con- 

 nection with the Rhode Island Poultry Association, at 

 Providence, this winter. Properly managed a good show of 

 dogs ought to be the result, for it is some time since a show 

 was held there, and being easy of access from New York and 

 Boston, no doubt, with proper judges, the right kind of dogs 

 can be secured. There is this to be said in the matter, if a 

 thing is worth doing at all it is worth doing right. 1 rrb 

 swp. 



We are also in receipt of a circular which stat es that a dog 

 show will be given by the Central City Kennel Club, in con- 

 nection with the Michigan Poultry and Pet Stock Associa- 

 tion, at Jackson, Mich., Jan. 10 to 14. The show will be 

 held under Kennel Club rules, but as we cannot find their 

 name on the list of recognized shows we think they are 

 wrong in holding forth the assertion that their wins will be 

 counted by the A. K. C. Mr. C. W. Sarvis will be superin- 

 tendent and Major J. M. Taylor, of New York, will judge 

 all classes. The. show will be held in' the Assembly Hall 

 and good prizes are promised. 



Mr. Mercer's bad luck sticks to him, for we hear that the 

 Clumber, Bromine's pups are all dead. This is a pity, 

 as with Boss's fine body and the bitch's good head, some- 

 thing out of common was expected from the union. "Clum- 

 ber" also tells us he has sold an interest in his kennel to 

 Mr. W. H. Middleton, a nephew of Gen. Sir Fred Middleton , 

 late Commander in Chief ol the Canadian Army. They in- 

 tend to import the best that can be procured in England. 

 Other news from Ottawa is that Mr. Keyes's good cocker 

 bitch, Rideau Flossie, second in open class at Ottawa, nearly 

 succumbed to distemper after the show, though two years 

 old. Our correspondent asks, "Where would the puppies 

 be?" Tne Clumber, Snow, if she recovers, will be Tired to 

 The Cardinal next time, 



We understand that Mr. C. L. Wilton, of New York, 

 has purchased from Mr. Mortimer his smooth fox-terrier 

 Suffolk Risk, by Raffle out of Suffolk Syren. Mr. Wilton is 

 to be congratulated on the purchase, as he is certainly about 

 the best home bred one in the country, as the following win- 

 nings will show: First dog puppies, first Fox-Terrier Club's 

 Grand Produce Stakes, first Stua Dog Stakes and special for 

 best puppy of eit tier sex, New York, 1890. The price paid 

 was a long one. This gentleman is also the owner of 

 Brockenhurst Quick, which he imported during the summer. 

 While on the subject of fox-terriers we may mention that 

 the large sum of §3,000 has been sent over to the tight little 

 island, to be the medium of exchange for the best that can 



be procured of this breed, one dog and two bitches. This 

 ought to secure some of the cracks; in fact, the best of them 

 if the proper man handles the money and knows what he is 

 about. 



Our correspondent from Hamilton. Out., writes us that 

 ■The executive committee of the Hamilton Kennel Club met 

 Oct. 16, and after hearing the opinions of the leading dog 

 owners and breeders in Canada and the U. S. A., decided 

 that it would be unwise to hold a bench showuntil next fall 

 It was decided that the show was to be given in September, 

 but no positive date was fixed upon, as the other Canadian 

 Kennel Club will be corresponded with, with a view to ar- 

 ranging a complete Canadian circuit with separate and non- 

 coufiLctmg dates. It was decided, however, in the mean- 

 time to give a series of members' meetings during the winter 

 at which the various breeds of dogs will be described by 

 competent, judges and club diplomas given to the members 

 producing the best specimens of the breeds under considera- 

 tion, if bred by themselves. It is thought that this will tend 

 to arouse much interest, audit mav induce some dog owners 

 to hang the mongrels upon which they now pride them- 

 selves." This is a very good idea for any young kennel club 

 provided the lecturers are the right men. 



A good many lovers of pointers and setters seem to be ex- 

 ercising their brains on the question of what constitutes 

 style m the field. We fail to see what style has to do with 

 nllmg the game bag, for it is well known there, are many 

 clever 'bird dogs" whose style is anything but graceful 

 though their nose is iu the right place. Style, in^itself, is 

 very aptly described by a writer in the Breeder and Sports- 

 man when he says, "Good style is, we believe, that indefin- 

 able blending and subtle voicing of all the better elements 

 ot ease, grace and intelligence, which indicate the state of 

 perfection of the animal or person possessing them." 



We hear that Dr. H. Clay Glover will be one of the judges 

 at the South Carolina dog show, to be held in Charleston, 

 b. C, next January. 



We learn that Messrs C. H. Ruhl and Chas. W. Sarvis 

 have started a kennel at Jackson, Mich., to be known as the 

 Grand River Kennels. They intend to breed great Danes 

 and greyhounds. 



We learn that Mr. Lacy shipped, per S.S. Ronans, Oct. 14, 

 the two black and tan terriers Salisbury and Queen HI. 

 From what we can make out, Mr. Comstock has struck a 

 bargain in the latter, as reports proclaim her to be some- 

 thing very good. We shall await their advent with some 

 anxiety, as the prevailing rough weathor is hardly the thing 

 for this delicate breed. They are consigned to Mr.'Stoddard's 

 stables, on Greenwich street. Speaking of rough weather, 

 the steamship France, on which the noted King Charles, 

 Royal Duke, is coming over, is some days overdue. Besides 

 this dog, this vessel also brings four great Danes and the 

 lions that are to perform at Niblo's. [As we go to press we 

 learn that the France has arrived safely in port after en- 

 countering fearful weather.] 



On the way home from Canada we stopped off at Covert, 

 N. Y.,the home of Mr. Wixom and the Horn ell-Harmony 

 Kennels. After looking round the kennels, which were so 

 ably described by "Highland" a few weeks since, we were 

 treated to a couple of beagle trials, which we enjoyed im- 

 mensely. Sly reyuard was led over the fields fora'mile or 

 so and then the little beauties were let loose. The grass 

 being wet, the scent lay well and was picked up iu fine 

 shape; Royal Krueger and a youngster, named Nib, dividing 

 the honors of the chase between them. ' It has been said that 

 Bannerman stock cannot hunt, but, from what we could see, 

 "Roy" and his children refute this entirely. 



We have received from the New York Pasteur Institute a 

 circular giving statistics regarding the number of people 

 treated since its opening in February last. Out of filO per- 

 sons bitten by dogs or cats, who have come there for treat- 

 ment, 480 were needlessly alarmed, as it was proved the 

 animals that bit them were not mad. Still, they were 

 treated, and now have in their blood the virus which they 

 sought to escape. In 130 cases, it is said, the dogs were mad, 

 and of course it is claimed that this anti-hydrophobic was 

 the means of saving them. What folly! Such institutions 

 only add to the fear that many people have of the dog, and 

 rather than do any good, it works considerable harm: and 

 we quite agree with Dr. Bell-Taylor, of Nottingham, Eng., 

 when he says: "The only conclusion I can draw from a care- 

 ful consideration of the whole facts of the case is, that we 

 are bound, in the interests of both science and humanity, to 

 set our faces like flint not only against this hydrophobia 

 cure craze, but also agaiDst the whole system of manufac- 

 turing disease, keeping up the supply (when it would other- 

 wise die out) and spreading it broadcast among men and 

 other animals." 



We hear that George Bell having sold his last Idea, has 

 now purchased from Mr. H. B. Nicoll, of Cookstown, Ont., 

 the black cocker dog Kildare, a dog which, though left in 

 the cold at Toronto, will doubtless receive due recognition 

 in the future. When he next appears in public heVill be 

 known as Obadiah. 



We hear that Air. E. H. Moore's new purchase, the St. 

 Bernard bitch Altona, arrived safely at her new home last- 

 week. She is a litter sister to the noted Alta Bella and was 

 purchased from Mr. L. C. Norris Elye. Altona. therefore, 

 is a daughter of Mr. Moore's new dog Alton and out of the 

 noted prize winner Bellegarde, by champion Bayard out 

 of Crevasse II. She has won, besides other prizes, first in 

 novice class at Chelmsford. Being so closely related to Alta 

 Bella, who is considered one of the grandest' bitches that has 

 ever been bred, Mr. Moore is to be congratulated on his judi- 

 cious purchase. 



Mr. Washington A. Coster has sent us a circular issued 

 by the Trunk Line Passenger Committee, relating to the 

 issue of tickets to Amelia Cotu-t House, Ya., on account of 

 the Eastern field trials. The reduced fares' are on the cer- 

 tificate plan, one full fare going and one-third of the high- 

 est limit fare returning. The reduction is for persons going 

 to the meeting from trunk line territory. Persons attend- 

 ing the meeting from points beyond the Richmond & Dan- 

 ville R. R. should purchase to Danville, Burkeville or 

 Richmond, as most convenientjaking a certificate from agent 

 from whom ticket is purchased, and repurchase to Amelia 

 Court House. This certificate will be honored at either of the 

 above places for the above rates, returning to startiug point, 

 if presented on or before Dec. $. Dogs will be carried free 

 on signing a release and upou presentation of a club card, 

 signed by Mr. Coster, the holder of which is entitled to not 

 more than three dogs. Mr. Slaughter, the assistant com- 

 missioner, has taken up the question of rates with all co- 

 operating companies and they promise to agree to the same 

 reduction. 



Dr. Foote has purchased the farm of 27 acres he has been 

 so anxiously looking for, so that now his kennel of black 

 and tans aud Me Too will literally revel in clover, and we 

 shall expect to see some rattling black and tans in the 

 future. 



We take this opportunity to cordially thank our many 

 friends for the kind expressions they have tendered us oa
