the list is complete, with presidents Taylor and Belmont, 

 Dr. Perry, president of Associates: and secretaries Por- 

 ter, Osboi-n and Vredenburgh. 



At a business meetini;; of the Brtinswi'ck Fur Club, beld 

 last week at the Sunnyside Hotel, East Wakefield, JST. H., it 

 was decided to offer special prizes at the bench show of the 

 New England Kennel Club as follows: For the best Ameri- 

 can foxhound dog;, .ItilO; for the best American foxhound 

 hitch, ?10, and for the best American foxhound, pup, under 

 ISmos., -fJi. Hounds, the property of the club to be excluded 

 from competition. 



At the Ridgway coursing meetingin England last month 

 Colonel North entered seven puppies in the large stake, win- 

 ning 23 out of M courses, with a result that the whole seven 

 were in last ten and six in the last seven. This is form with 

 a vengeance. His nomination for the Waterloo cup is a 

 steady favorite at 4 to 1, the next being 30 to 1. 



The meeting of the Brunswick Fur Club, at East Lake- 

 field, N. H., opened on Feb. 9, but the weather and con- 

 ditions for sport were anything but propitious. The first 

 night it snowed, rained and fi'oze, which made a crust just 

 strong enough to carry a fox and weak enough to let 'the 

 hounds throiigh. Tbe hounds selected for the first day's 

 hunt were Dr. Hofi:man/s Gipsey Blanco, Dennison's Billy, 

 and Fonant's Bonny, all light-weights. The meet was at 

 Balch Pond, a mile from the hotel. A fox was soon started, 

 but the dogs could not ijress him owing to the tbin crust, 

 and though they kept at it for several hours finally lost him. 

 The meeting has been continued, but with poor success, 

 owing to the bad weather and the unfavorable condition of 

 the snow. 



Although Mr. Mercer purchased the noted Clumber bitch 

 Snow in iS89, he had uot seen her till her arrival on Feb. 12. 

 He is delighted with her, and though she is undersized, 

 thinks her better than anything he has yet seen in the 

 Clumber line. As her name implies she has no markings. 

 His experience in attempting to breed her in England has 

 been very disastrous. The first litter by Boaz all died, and 

 her second heat was allowed to run over. She has won over 

 thirty first prizes in Englaiid, three of which were at Birm- 

 ingham and one at Baru Elms. Mr. Mercer is coming down 

 for the W. K. C. show with his team of Clumbers. 



As no bfitter date than that claimed for the Boston show 

 is available, the St. Louis people are compelled to forego 

 their intended show, although a guarantee fund had been 

 raised. 



The premium list of the Boston show will, it is expected, 

 be issued at the end of the week, and we hope to be able to 

 announce the judges in this issue. We can say, however, 

 that Mr. Moore, now that he is out of mastifl:"s. is ready to 

 don the ermine and will make his debut as a judge in the 

 mastift' ring at this show. New blood will also be tried for 

 the St. Bernards and several other breeds, so that exhibitors 

 can take on fresh hope. A novelty is under consideration in 

 the way of amusement at the show* but further than this 

 •we are not at liberty to speak. 



It is not very likely that the St. Bernard Princess Florence 

 will be seen in this country after all. According to a cable 

 from Mr. Chapman her lowest price is ?7,500, a niere trifle of 

 a thousand more than the late importation. Sir Bedivere. 

 Mr. Chapman wrote us some time since that though she was 

 not in good shape she weighed x'OOlbs., and expected her to 

 be ready to meet Sir Bedivere at Manchester in March, when 

 he had' every expectation of downing the dog now that she 

 was full grown. Of course this little prospect of triumph is 

 knocked on the head, for the present at least. 



After a murder case, which is now claiming the attention 

 of Judge Brady in Oyer and Terminer, the famous Peshall 

 trial will be commenced, the District Attorney having set it 

 next on the calendar. It is understood that Mr. Peshall will 

 enter a demiu'rer and move to quash the indictment. 



Mr. Wade writes that he would like to have Mr. Mason's 

 opinion of what a Barzoi should be. Mr. Mason will, among 

 several other breeds, criticise the wolfhounds at the coming 

 W. K. C. show, and at the same time take the opportunity 

 to give Mr. Wade the points he requires. 



A meeting for the election of officers in the Eastern Cours- 

 ing Club, and a meeting of the N. G. C. will be held at the 

 Metropolitan Hotel on Thui\sday, Feb. 19, at 8. P. M. 



Mr. Stewart Diffenderfl'erhas purchased the crack St. Ber- 

 nard bitch Hepsey, at a very long figure. She will be served 

 by Scottish Prince. 



The auction sale of the Chestnut Hill collies will take 

 place at the American Horse Exchange on Wednesday, Feb. 

 25, instead of Friday. 



A SULTAN COMING.— New Rochette,— Editor Forest 

 and Stream: I have purchased from Mr. Ellis, of Manches- 

 ter, Eng., the best of his superb collection of black and tan 

 terriers, Broomfleld Sultan, for the Rochelle Kennels. Pie is 

 only 16 months old, yet he has made a remarkable record on 

 the bench, his greatest triumph being at the recent Crystal 

 Palace show, where there was the unprecedented entry of 59 

 black and tans. Sultan, under the judging of Geo. Raper, 

 won first in open dog class, first in junior class, and capped 

 the climax by winning the special for the best of the breed 

 in the show, and defeated the strongest dogs now on the 

 bench in England. His sire was Broomfleld Turk, he by Sir 

 Edward, he by Burke; and his dam, Broomfleld Belle, was 

 by Whitehead's Prince, he by Sir Edward. It will be noted 

 that Sultan on both sides of bis ancestry is rich in the blood 

 of England's most noted show and stud black and tans, 

 hence there is every reason to believe that he will prove an 

 exceptional sire and perpetuate his superi or type. He should 

 arrive on the Wyoming on the 18th inst., and I shall send 

 him to the principal shows.— H. T FooTE 



Takes Exception. — New York. — Editor Forest a/iul 

 Stream: I must take exception to your statement in last 

 issue, that Beaconsfleld led the black and tan breed in 

 England both on the bench and as a sire. He was certainly 

 one of the best show dogs, but his bench record hardly en- 

 titles him to unquestionable superiority. As a sire, his get 

 can probably he figured to a larger number than any dog of 

 this breed in England, but as quality and not numbers 

 make the reputation of a sire, the names of a few of his get 

 that have attained marked distinction on the bench would 

 not be out of the way. As he is in his seventh vpar they 

 should not be difficult to find.— H. T. Foote. '[Will Dr. 

 Foote please read the Canine World report of the Oldham 

 show, Oct. 10, 1890, and Fanciers^ GajZetle report of Crystal 

 Palace show, Oct. 31, 1890.] 



NOTES AND NOTIONS. 



CtJTTING straight through all circumlocutions and 

 euphemisms, I will refer straight out to the matter of 

 JMr. E. F. Mayhew acting as compiler of the entries for the 

 A.K.C. show, at which he is to judge. Most observers will 

 say that his conduct is "bad form," bad taste or bad ethics, 

 but it is nothing more. There is a certain feeling of nohlesse 

 ohlige among judges of dogs that operates to keep straight 

 those who would, or might, otherwise go crooked. Apart 

 from considerations of honor, many of them attach a certain 

 and dertnite value to their reputation as judges, reputation 

 as knowing dogs, in other words, and fear damaging it. For 

 instance— although in a contrary direction— many will re- 

 member a most capable mastifi: judge of a few years since, 

 who has dropped enth-ely out of sight because there was a 

 feeling that his friends' dogs got undue placings under his 

 judgings. No suspicion of dishonesty was ever entertained, 

 out the feeling that he lacked the backbone to decide against 

 a close friend, weighed him down: while, as an opposite 

 instance, may be cited a certain judge, who in a very close 

 case is apt to decide against his f riend. 



There is this consideration that should be taken into ac- 

 GOtmt in weighing Mr. Mayhew's conrse. It is an open 

 secret that his material prosperity has not been unchecked, 

 the po.sition as to the W. K. C. catalogue should pay him 

 very much better than judging, and after accepting the 

 position of judge, he is confronted by the necessity of de- 

 termining whether he shall keep up his "form" at the ex- 

 pense of his pocket? Many will say as to this, that his duty 

 is clear; after knowing every entry to be made, owner, pedi- 

 gree, breeder, etc.. the" thing for him to do is to withdraw 

 from judging. Of couj-se an "onlooker" only looks, and 

 should not quote his own opinions as to the coiu-se another 

 should pursue. 



From Mr. Mayhew to that wonderful apology published in 

 two of our papers is an easy transition. What a wonderful 

 performance that was. And remember it was not a free one, 

 or even an original. It was a second, apparently extorted 

 under fear of depletion of pocket by a libel suit, after a first 

 one had been offered and not deemed sufficiently humble. 

 Really I do not see how the Fanciers' (rascMe is going to 

 sur\i.ve this. How will it retain public respect after such 

 dirt eatingy One of the highest duties one man can owe 

 another is to make a full and frank apology for a wrong 

 done as soon as the wrong is discovered, but to make one 

 under compulsion, for fear of damages being inflicted, to go 

 down on one's knees and eat the humblest of humble pie is, 

 in the language of Petroleum V. Nasby, "ruther renchin'." 

 I am at a loss to understand why Mr. Krehl required such 

 humility. The course of his own paper would indicate that 

 no amount of prospective penalties would have induced him 

 to make such an apology after a fir.st had been ofl'ered, and 

 it is utterly out of imagination that Mr. Tatham would have 

 allowed such a thing to appear in his paper. Evidently (to 

 me, at least) Mr. Krehl must have some ulterior object in 

 his demanding such servility; perhaps he may wish to dis- 

 pose of "the member of our staff'" who inserted Mr. May- 

 hew's article, which "member" must have been Mr. Millais, 

 a gentleman whose career in journalism has been a very 

 unfortunate one. ' Thk 0:nlooker.

 Stream: If "Oswegatchie" or any one else wishes to hear 

 from me on the Fellows type of working cockers, let them 

 sign their names to their twaddle and I'll guarantee that I'll 

 hold up my end of the discussion, but I want no truck with 

 any one that is ashamed of their father's name.-— J. Otis

ABLE TO PAY THEIR DEBTS. — Baltimore. Md.— 

 Editor Forest and Stream: We see that in the issue of 

 FoEEST AXD Stream of Feb. 12 appears the following: 

 "Baltimore, Jan. 28. — We, the undersigned, hereby give 

 notice to all whom it may concern, that we will not be re- 

 sponsible, in any manner, for any obligations that may be 

 incurred by those who propose' holding the bench show 

 under the name of the Maryland Kennel Club. (Signed) R. 

 B. Glanville, L. M. Levering. W. T, Levering, Crichton 

 Malcolm, J. D. Mallory, H. Malcolm, H. Cassard, R. B. von 

 derHorst," The bench show committee beg to say that 

 they have a guarantee from responsible parties to pay any 

 and all debts they may contract, and trust above will in no 

 way be misconstrued, as its source must be considered. No 

 signer of said letter is a member of the bench show com- 

 mittee. Mr. W. T. Levering is in Europe, Mr. J. D. Mallory 

 is not a member of the club; Mr. R. B. Glanville is in arrears 

 for dues, and Mr. H. Malcolm is under suspension by the 

 American Kennel Club and also the Maryland Kennel Club.

KENNEL MANAGEMENT, 



There is no charg-e for answering questions under 

 this head; we are always glad to give advice on the 

 care and management of dogs; and we shall make 

 this a special feature. 



A. C. H., So. Man^'s'tque, .Mich.— 1. 1 have a very valuable St. Ber 

 nard doe. VVhicli is the best food I can feed him to moke him 

 health}? 2. Whose manufactured food is the bes ? Ans. 1. Feed 

 him in tbe morning such scraps as you miy have from the table, 

 making an occasional soup from fresh 'oeef bones. Atijjghtyoa 

 can give him. three or four dog biscuits, either soaked or dry, dry 

 is beet if you can get him to ent them that way. 3. SprattsoV 

 Goodwin's, both are good 



H. T. '1'., Readiner. Pa.— Several weeks ago I received an 8mos, 

 old Irish setter pup, and s nee he has been in my possession I find 

 great trouble to get him 10 eat. From tlie time he was 6 weeks 

 old until I received him he was kept at a large hotel, where be 

 received for his meals the refuse from the table, generally chicken, 

 etc., and I suppose that because of his being aceustomed to this 

 food mntje hint reluctant to eat the raw beef I offered him. but 

 this morning I fottnd one of his eyes closed and the otber running. 

 His eyt-s have been running for somf time, but t his morning was 

 llie first time I noticed ariy closed, I also observed liim shivering 

 on several occasions. I had him oat on the field a few days ago", 

 and noticed a coughing such as a dog generally makes when lead- 

 ing by a strap, and exerts himself in order to get loose. These 

 seem to be symptoms of distemper, and about three days ago I 

 gave him a dose of castor oil. Since then his passage haB a 

 colored appearance. I have bepu thinking of giving a 3gr. quinine 

 pill, as per your advi e in Fobest and Stream oi two wceKs ago. 

 but before doing so would kindly a~k you to inform me whether, 

 from tlie above symptoms, this is eorrect, or whether there is any 

 better remedy, and what food is best and how often each day? 

 Ans. Tho dog has distemper; treat him at once as described in tbe ' 

 issue of Jan. 29, in the first part of answer to M. F. S.
