THE POINTER CLUB OF AMERICA. 



~\TEW YORK, Nov. 8.— Editor Forest and Stream: The 

 J_N Pointer Club of America deems it proper to state in 

 answer to inquiries as to its condition, that financially it is 

 prosperous, and that in point of numbers its membership is 

 satisfactory. We have not thought it necessary to constantly 

 advertise our existence or to get up excitements. It would 

 be gratifying to officers of the club if the members would 

 attend, the meetings, but we do rot. feel that any great 

 pressing interest is suffering by such inattention, and are 

 confident of full attendance on an emergency. 



It is now proposed to hold a meeting of the club at New 

 York on the occasion of the next Westminster Kennel Club 

 show. At that meeting we shall ask for the appropriation 

 of a large amount as prizes to be competed for in one of the 

 great field trials of 1891, by pointers only. We give this 

 early notice of this purpose, in the hope that the attendance 

 will be large and that we shall have the full expression of the 

 will of our club as to the time when and the place where and 

 the conditions under which these prizes shall be competed 

 for. We will invite correspondence and suggestions as to 

 what shall best be done to promote the interest of breeders 

 and owners of pointers. 



During the past year we have contributed largely, we 

 think, to the meritorious shows throughout the country, as 

 will be seen by the following list of cash prizes offered by the 

 Pointer Club: 

 Boston Show— 



The. Pointer Club Produce Stakes for 1890 $50 00 



For best pointer dog with field trial record 10 00 



For best pointer bitch with field trial record 10 00 



Chicago— 



For best pointer dog 10 00 



For best pointer bitch 10 00 



American Field Pointer Cup, value $100. 

 New York— 



For best pointer stud dotr shown with two of his get 10 00 



For best pointer brood bitch, same conditions 10 00 



Rochester — 



For best pointer dog....... 10 00 



For best pointer bitch 10 00 



Baltimore— 



For best pointer dog 10 CO 



For best pointer bitch. 10 00 



Detroit— 



For best brace of pointers 25 00 



Making a total of $175 00 



And a .$100 cup given during the year. We think this com- 

 pares favorably with the record of any other specialty club. 

 The expenses up to date have been $11.30, postage and print- 

 ing, the secretary performing necessary clerical work gratis, 

 as well as furnishing an office without expense to the club. 

 W e cordially invite all lovers of the pointer to become mem- 

 bers of the club. John S. Wise, President.

Whereas, The committee of the show ruled that Chief could not 

 compete, as he had already been beaten in the challenge class by 

 Tim, and. 



Whereas, The late decision of the American Kennel Club, in de- 

 fining what should constitute a field trial record, made Tim ineli- 

 gible to compete for such a special, while Chief was eligible, by 

 reason of having won first in an open stake for puppies, at the 

 Eastern Field Trials Club trials in 1880; and, ' 

 k. Wtiereas, This committee could not undertake to determine 

 what the result of a competition between Roger and Chief would 

 have been under the judge officiating at said competition, it was,

MR. MALCOLM'S RESIGNATION. — Baltimore, Md. 

 Nov. 10.— Editor Forest and Stream: On my return from a 

 few days' successful partridge hunting I find in looking over 

 the columns of your paper, under the head of "Dog Chat," 

 a few remarks, I presume written by friend Lacy, comment- 

 ing on my having "made the first move in his (my) determi- 

 nation to sever his (my) connections with the men of dog- 

 dom, by sending in his (my) resignation as Maryland K. C. 

 delegate to the A. K. C. * * *" He could have also added 

 that I had resigned the presidency of the Gordon Setter Club 

 of America, and that in a short time I shall resign as presi- 

 dent of the Maryland K. C. and as a member also. I shall 

 remain in the Chesapeake Bay Dog Club, as it is composed 

 solely of sportsmen— no men of "dogdom" are on the mem- 

 bership list. I feel and know that what friend Lacy states 

 is true, that in every walk in life we will find men who are 

 at variance with our ideas of right and wrong. I never ex- 

 pect to find men anywhere who all think alike, and do not 

 disagree on that point. I am well aware that some men in 

 "dogdom" are of that high order of manhood to which order 

 I know friend Lacy belongs, and I know there are many 

 more, but "dogdom" will find soon that the scales will drop 

 from the eyes of those who are sportsmen, and they will 

 leave "dogdom" and watch the mud-slingers of "dogdom" 

 wallow in mud and destroy themselves. Sportsmen are out 

 of their sphere in such company, and I would advise them 

 to leave "dogdom" forever.— H. Malcolm. 



AMERICAN COURSING CLUB; MEET.— Chicago, HI., 

 Nov. 7.— In the matter of the report of the American Cours- 

 ing Club meeting, issue of Oct. 30, the statement is made 

 that the Lady Graham Glendyne— Verdure Clad heat was 

 an undecided. This is wrong, as the course was given to 

 Lady Graham Glendyne. The error was made in a singular 

 way. When the judge turned back from this course he was 

 understood by the reporters to call this course an undecided 

 one, and the press men so wrote it up. Later on, the next 

 day, it was learned that he announced on his return to the 

 assembly point his decision for Lady Graham Glendyne. 

 The report should then have been changed to that effect, 

 but in hurry this must have been overlooked, although it is 

 a surprise to see it so. Dr. G. Irwin Royce calls attention to 

 the fact that in the American Coursing Club report, Oct. 30, 

 the pedigree of the two bitches Dollie and Belie is not cor- 

 rectly given. It should be Trales— Humming Bird, not 

 Trales— Blue Bell. In report of Hutchinson meet this pedi- 

 gree was announced correctly on the programmes, and was 

 of course printed as given, as was also the case at Great 

 Bend. There were many errors in the programme printing 

 at Great Bend, of which this is doubtless one. Dr. Royce 

 cites another error, the pedigree of Trales being given as by 

 "Wandering Tour" instead of Wandering Tom. This is 

 only typographical.— E. Hough. 



SPORTING DOGS CAN BE COMPANIONS TOO,— 

 Toronto, Can., Nov. 8.— Editor Forest and Stream: I should 

 like to inquire of your decidedly befogged correspondent "G. 

 S. T." on what he founds his fiat that sporting dogs are not 

 "well adapted to the family companionship." The majority 

 of the ladies of my acquaintance are by no means of his 

 opinion, and swear by their handsome and hardy setters and 

 spaniels. With reason, too; for what can be handsomer than 

 a dog of any of the many varieties of these families — Eng- 

 lish, Irish, Gordon and Clumber, Sussex, field or cocker? 

 They are handsome, faithful, courageous, clean in the house 

 and good watch dogs. Not "lap dogs," to be sure; but I 

 don't think many ladies would fondle an Irish terrier or a 

 good-sized black and tan to that extent, while the "silken- 

 fleeced Yorkshire terrier" would not retain the aforemen- 

 tioned silken fleece very long after he had bidden chamois 

 skin bootlets, cocoanut oil and professional manipulation a 

 long adieu. No, no, "G. S. T,,' f your favorites are all very 

 well, but don't let prejudice force you into misstatements 

 derogatory to other breeds.— Setting Spaniel. 



A TEXAS DOG CASE IN COURT.-Austin, Tex., Oct. 

 SO— Editor Forest and Stream: I inclose you a recent de- 

 cision of the Texas Court of Appeals, showing a dog is 

 property in Texas, at least.— J. V. B. The report reads: 

 "The High Courts. Commission of Appeals. St. Louis, 

 Arkansas & Texas R. R. vs. J. P. Hanks, from Henderson. 

 Appellee brought this suit to recover for the value of a 

 shepherd dog killed by appellant. The evidence shows that 

 the dog was walking with appellee along the track. As a 

 freight train came along appellant stepped aside, while the 

 dog kept on down the track, running for his life. It was a 

 hard race and hotly contested, but the mogul at the end of 

 500yds. came under the wire a length ahead and over the 

 mangled remains of poor Eido. Held: The court below 

 gave instructions applicable to the evidence, and the jury 

 having found for appellee, we find no ground for disturbing 

 their finding. The judgment for $100 is affirmed. Hobby, J." 



A SPITEFUL ACTION BY A DOG KILLER.— A vear 

 ago two dogs belonging to E. L. Mills, of this city, president 

 of the Capital City Gun Club, were shot by H. G. Otis, 

 manager of Judge Eullerton's farm, near Clifton, Va. Mr. 

 Mills published a card in v> hich he criticised the shooting of 

 his dogs severely, and last Sunday, while Mr. Mills was hunt- 

 ing in the neighborhood, Otis had him arrested on a charge 

 of trespass, purporting to have occurred the year before. He 

 was taken to Centreville, six miles distant, and tried before 

 Magistrate Simpson at 10:30 Sunday night. The prosecutor 

 could not make out a case, and at midnight the magistrate 

 discharged Mr. Mills and placed the costs on Otis. — Wash- 

 ington Post, Nov. 4.
