FOREST AND STREAM.

Scottish Prince is a son of that grand stock getter, Prince 

 Regent, who was in this country for some time, but was 

 sicuply hiirierl as far ns St. Bernarddom was concevned. In 

 his stud "ad" he is spoken of as the largest and most typi- 

 cal > oiiu.e St. Bernard now before the public, in color a rich 

 orange, with perfect white maikings. He has never yet been 

 beaten on the bench. 



Aristocrat is an older dog, stands M^/An. at the shoulder, 

 and is by champion Pllulinimon out of Lady Adelaide. As 

 the latter is by charapioii Valentine, his breeding is as good 

 as can be had. He has won this year twenty first prizes and 

 cups in an almost unbroken record. Altogether Col. Rup- 

 pert must be congratulated on his successful purchases. 

 Mr. Samuel Mann, who will in future have charge of his 

 kennel, will sail ou Saturday next with Mr, Smith to bring 

 his costly charges home, and we trust he may be fortunate 

 enough to land them here in good shape. Scottish Prince 

 has bis reputation to make, in a sense, but there is little 

 doubt but that he will have small trouble in doing this, 

 though he will have to meet the "great and onlys," Plin- 

 limmon and Sir Bedivere, in the open class. 



We must thank Mr. Comstock of Providenc, R. I., for 

 one of the prettiest and quaintest pictures of puppies we 

 ever saw. They are three little Japanese spaniels, and the 

 clever photographer, Mr. Howe, has caught them with that 

 wise, pnzzled look which jinppies assume when they cannot 

 just make out what it's all about. 



If rumor is correct that Mr. E. H. Moore, of Melrose, Mass.. 

 has purchased the great Plinlimmon, then he has indeed 

 played a tramp card. Though the dog is getting on in 

 years, still the ownership of snch a world-noted and excel- 

 lent specimen of the St. Bernard is tiouiul to add consider- 

 able prestige to any kennel. It is said SS.OOO was the price 

 paid. Plinliramoc, of course, needs no bolstering of this 

 sort. This grand dog has, to a certain extent, been Tost to St. 

 Bernard breeders, owing to the peculiar circumstances under 



in June nest. Of course we know that the latter is ou a 

 still hunt for St. Bernards and we hope he will be success- 

 ful. The former will no doubt keep an eye on the fox- 

 terriers. iVlr. John A. Logan, Jr., also sails for Albion's 

 shoi-e, May 14, and will bring one or two good fox-terrier 

 bitches back with him. 



There is con.siderable excitement across the line over a 

 Kentucky decision in regard to a dog case before Judge 

 Jackson in Louisville. The decision was given in the case 

 of John Doubler, who was charged with stealing a mastiff 

 belonging to John Doewer, and valued at Sl.OO, and selling 

 him afterward to Theodore Schwartz, Jr., tor $1Q. When 

 the case came up in the Circuit Cottrt, Judge Jackson gave 

 peremptory instructions for acquittal on the ground that 

 there is no proijerty in dogs unless they have been properly 

 registered. Both State and city license had been paid on the 

 animal, but Judge Jackson held that this did not constitute 

 ownership. His judgeship is evidently an advocate of the 

 A. K. O. 



Dog shows being over it is now the time of the field trial 

 men to busy themselves with the preparations for the fall 

 trials. We therefore draw the attention of our readers to 

 the closins: dates for entries to the Eastern and Central 

 Derbys. For the former, entries close May 1 with Washing- 

 ton A. Coster, Saratoga Spnngs, N. Y. The time of closing 

 for the Central Derby is May 15, and we refer our readers to 

 our advertising columns for the amount of prizes in each 

 stake. Col. C. H. Odell, 44 Wall street, New York, will 

 furnish all information, and with, him all entries must be 

 made. 



The famous Peshall ca=eis over, and no onw is sorry; at 



the same time while it was going on it afforded the dogmen 

 of this city ample entert'ainment. At one time or another 

 during the trial nearly every prominent fancier in this city 

 spent an hour or so listening to the multiplicity of questions 

 with which "Jimmie'a" owner bothered the officials of the

THE ROUGH-COATED ST. BERNARD SCOTTISH PRINCE. The Peopektt of Col. Jacob Rtjppert, .Je., New York City. 



which he has lived the last two or three year.?, but now he 

 will no doubt take the position in St. Bernarddom that his 

 many virtues entitle him to, and breeders will have a chance 

 to seciu-e his services and to see him on the bench. What a 

 sight we shall have when Plinlimmon— we name him first 

 as the older dog— Sir Bedivere, Scottish Prince and Aristo- 

 crat troop into the ring in the open class. A win in such 

 company will indeed be the pinnacle of canine honors. 

 Plinlimmon was whelped June 29, 1883, and his breeder is 

 Mr. T. Hall, of Liverpool, England. His sire was Pilgrim 

 and dam Bessie II., by chamipion Bayard out of Hebe: Pilgrim 

 by Leo out of Lottie. Plinlimmon's record is too well 

 known to need any repetition here. Several noted St. 

 Bernard men have rejoiced in his ownership, and until 

 purchased by "Fritz" Emmet he was constantly seen on the 

 bench, but since then he has appeared nowhere except on 

 the stage, where we had the pleasure of seeing him about 

 three months since, when he looked in excellent health and 

 flesh. Though we hardly think it wise ou Mr, Moore's part 

 to have paid such a sum as .?o,000— if he has done so— and no 

 self-re.specting St. Bernard would think of changing his 

 quarters for less nowadays, still such an addition to his team 

 will make him again a formidable competitor for St. 

 Bernard kennel prizes. 



At the last moment we have received a lettei- from Mr. 

 Moore confirming his purchase of Plinlimmon. He tells us 

 that thoueh a little thin, he yet weighs in the neighbor- 

 hood of SOOlbs, He intends to breed Lady Livingstone and 

 Sneerwell to him, and of course expects something very 

 fine as a result. Pliu, it may be added, is the sire of such 

 dogs aa Alton, Prince Regent. Baron Cardiff. Baron Cam- 

 rose, Aristocrat, Mayor otLeeds and Carmelite. Next season 

 he will be shown at Boston in the open class, Mr. Moore 

 adding, with a remembrance of his past misfortunes— if he 

 lives. 



A letter from friend Bradley, who steered Rowdy Rod to 

 victory in the last four-hour race at the Central trials, be- 

 sides making us discontented yrith office work, the city and 

 everything that pertains to a humdrum existence, by holdin g 

 out the prospect of some good trout fishing in his neighbor- 

 hood, tells us he has opened his boarding kennels for the sum- 

 mer. All who know Simon C. Bradley know full well that, 

 as a trainer and careful handlei-, he has no superior, and dogs 

 sent to him are sure of good quarters and careful treatment. 

 His address will be found in our advertising columns. 



Mr. J. A. Long, of St. Louis, writes us that he has sold his 

 noted collie, Clifton Hero, winner of S prizes in England and 

 this country, to Mr. Vincent Liddicott, Saginaw, Mich., who 

 will place him in the stud. 



"Namquoit's" full report of the Los Angelas 13611011 show 

 arrived too late for press this week, but will appear in our 

 next issue. 



Mr. Charles Heath ha.s sold the noted pointer Launcelot 

 to Mr. H. Amsden of Boston, Mass. 



Messrs. Jean Grosvenpr and E. H. Mcore will visit England 



A. K. C. Mr. Peshall, as his own counsel, had ample oppor- 

 tunity to indulge in the wit and repartee for which he is 

 noted, and at times his actions were highly dramatic, 

 especially so while summing up in his own behalf, when he 

 took full advantage of his power to tell the gentlemen of 

 the jury what he thought of the gentlemen of the prosecu- 

 tion and of the unmeasured contempt in which he held 

 them. The beatific smile with whicb Mr. Anthonv re- 

 ceived his doses was very refreshing, and Secretary Vreden- 

 burgh gazed at the "counsel for the defendant" with a look 

 as much as to say, "All right, my boy: it's your innings 

 now, but wait till t.he jury bring.s in that verdict." Of 

 course, as was generally supposed, the verdict was "Not 

 guilty," and Mr. Peshall received quite an ovation at the 

 hands of his friends, who were blessed with sufficient 

 patience to sit out the three hours the jury took to arrive at 

 a decision. Among those we noticed at the trial were 

 Messrs. A. Belmont, T. H. Terrv, J. D. Shotwell, Max 

 Wenzel, A. P. Vredenburgh, James Mortimer, James Wat- 

 son, John Lewis, A. C. Wilraerding, -J. T. Phelan, A. D. 

 Lewis, H. B. Cromwell, O'Neil, H. F. Schellhass, L. C. 

 Whiton, E, M, Oldham, E. H. Morris, W. Tallman, R. F. 

 Mayhew and Drs, Glover and Foote. 



The English National field trials commenced on the 3lst 

 of this month at the Aqualate estate, near Newport, Shrop- 

 shire. The competition will in some degree be robbed of its 

 interest for Americans, owing to the fact that Mr. Brails- 

 ford, having had such a hard time y\-ith his dogs since he 

 retitrned from our field tiials last December, will not enter 

 anj^of Mr. Heywood-Lonsdale's dogs. There has been quite 

 astir among Englisn field trial men over the fact that a 

 professional handler, Mr. Bishop, had been selected as one 

 of the judges, Mr. Brailsford writing a very sensible letter 

 on the subject in Land and Water, which we may have 

 space to publish in our next issue. 



Mr. Geo. R. Krehl, in a letter to his own paper, the Stoclx- 

 Keepcr, publishes a very pretty letter which he received from 

 Helen Keller. At the same time he invites from English 

 readers, contributionsinaidof the "Tommy" fund, which will 

 be forwarded by him to Forest and Stream, where they 

 will be acknowledged. 



Mr. Herbert G. Sweet, who was prevented through illness 

 from officiating as St. Bernard juds:e at the late Kennel Club 

 show, is on his way to this country for a visit.

KENNEL MANAGEMENT. 

 There is no charge 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. 



. -EiEADER, ClarksviUe, N. Y.— I lost a valuable pointer this morn- 

 irg (l,i.75d). He would have been two years old in June, he was 

 aftected wUh red eczema. Last week I noticed it was almost all 

 over the entire body, head and mck being aflEpcted the most J 

 clipped the hair oflC and washed him on April 4, and rubbed him 

 with blasting powder dissolved in sweet cream, adding some 

 sulphur and half of a dt s^erfspoonful of carbolic acid. On tbo 

 5th I noticed he was very restless, so i washed him with castile 

 soap and dried him. Next day be seemed well, and at night I 

 gave him a dessprtspoonful of sulphur mixed in mnlassps. The 

 ■nfxt morning I gave him another application of blasting powder 

 dissolved in sweet cream, four dessertspoonfris of sulphur and 

 oneof car bob c acid. This I appbed about 7:30 A. M. I reached 

 hoine again aoout 5 P. M.: he was weak and rould r ot stand, and 

 reeled as he walkefl. Immediately I washed him as before and 

 placfd him behind the stove; soon he was so weak he could not 

 raise l is bead. I gave him warm milk with stimiila'its. If he 

 was suddenly touched he would growl, this he never did btfore 

 About 4 o'clock he died. His eyes were bTightand remained opMi 

 most ot the time, and he breathed as if he was asleep. Please tell 

 teU ma the eff ct the appbcation hnd on him, it was put on bead 

 and entire body, and what did he die with? Ans. The treatment 

 seems to have been too severe. We had some vears since a similar 

 experience with two spaniels. You do not state the strength of 

 r '^i^^'u ^^^9' crude, no doubt it was caibolic poisoning that 

 killed tlie dog through absorption. It is never advisable to treat 

 a dog all over the body at one time, a few patches should he 

 treated each day.
