CHANNEL BASS WITH SPOTS. 



pAPT. CHAELES BENDIRE, of the U. S. National 

 VJ Museum at Washington, has kindly sent us the fol- 

 lowing letter from Lieut, J. M. T. Partello upon the oc- 

 currence of numerous black spots on the Florida bass: 



"MoSQono Inlet, Fla., Dec 21, 1891.— My dear Cap- 

 tain: You never saw such fishing. Tn one hour and 

 twenty minutes I landed a 261bs. bass, Four ducks at 

 one shot, I found a peculiarity of bass that I believ e ie 

 not known. In casting in the surf to-day I saw a large 

 bass first pass the bait (cut mullet) swiftly by, and after 

 he passed it he returned and struck it with his tail. As 

 soon as the bait floated from the shock the bass came 

 back, struck it and started off. I landed him O.K. He 

 was prettily marked with five spots. As a ride bass have 

 only one spot on or near the tail, but this one had five. 

 [A. sketch is here given of two on the tail, one above the 

 tail, one above the other, and three immediately in front 

 of the upper caudal spot, arranged in a single row.] No 

 birds down here worth speaking of, except the Florida 

 bluejay, which is a regular butcher bird and kills young 

 chickens." 



We have upon several occasions observed specimens of 

 the channel ba*8 or red drum with more than the usual 

 number of spots (one or two, confined to the base of the 

 tail). In November, 1890, a specimen was secured in the 

 Washington, D. C, market, which had, besides the two 

 marks on the tail, three on either side of the body. Re- 

 cently another specimen was seen in the same market 

 which had ten spots on one side of the body. These, as 

 well as- the three spots, were scattered along on the 

 middle of the body. What causes the multiplication of 

 these coal-black spots is a question not yet solved. In 

 certain books upon ichthyology the presence of the spots 

 is noted, but nothing is given as a clue to their variation 

 in number. 



A number of small salmon have come to Fulton 

 Market this winter, having been caught in mackerel nets 

 by fishermen of North Truro and Ptovincetown, Mass. 

 They run 9 to 10 pounds, the largest, reported by Mr. 

 Blackford, 21 pounds. More of these fish go to the Boston 

 market than come to New York. It will be remembered 

 that the winter capture of salmon in Massachusetts waters 

 was reported last season.

THE GLOVERSV1LLE SHOW. 



[Bu a Special Reporter.'] 



rpBE Gloversville dog show was held on Dec. 29, 30, 31 

 J_ and Jan. 1 under A. K. C. rules, and had 113 entries, 

 only three of which failed to put in an appearance. Mr. C. 

 H. Mason judged and gave satisfaction. The great feature 

 of the show was the quality of the exhibits; in fact quality 

 was better represented than at most of the shows of the re- 

 cent Canadian circuit, thanks to the entries of Messrs. 

 Frank Dole, Ceo. Jarvia, W. EL Myland, .P. B. Zimnier, T. 

 J. Parley and the Seminole, Woodhaven, Bevevwyet, Rose- 

 r-rofl, Rockland and Ancient and Modprn Spaniel Kennels. 

 The judging did not commence till 3 P. M. Wednesday, in- 

 stead of 10 A. M. on Tuesday as announced. Mr. Mason did 

 not arrive until Wednesday morning, aud even then the 

 /management were not ready for him to start, This put 



several to great inconvenience, the judging not being 

 finished till 1 P. M. on Thursday. However, once things 

 were started under the management of "UdcIc Dick," every- 

 thing went on smoothly and' the dogs had the best of atten- 

 tion, the benching and food being excellent and they were 

 well exercised and the building was kept scrupulously 

 clean and free from all smells. The building used was two 

 large adjoining stores, which answered the purpose admira- 

 bly, giving plenty of room, and most conveniently situated, 

 being a few minutes' walk from the depot and the same 

 distance from the principal hotel, the Windsor, where host 

 Moore and his genial assistant did all in their power to 

 make "the boys' " lives happy. Mr. Clute made an excel- 

 lent ring steward and Secretary Zitnmer was here, there and 

 everywhere seeing that things were right and that nobody 

 wanted for "anything," either for their dogs or themselves. 



In mastiffs three put in an appearance in the open class 

 for dogs. The winner was far and away the best, beating 

 the others in head, substance and character. He is a far 

 better dog than oue usually sees at small shows. The other 

 two were both very moderate. One poor puppy was shown 

 and had a walkover. 



The best St. Bernard in the clas°, barring his color, was 

 Tartar, but being black and white, the judge very properly 

 discarded him. He is said to be by Alton. Crystal, the 

 winner, is bad in expression, poor in coat and small, but 

 has good bone. Saratoga, second, is a weed. Kathleen, the 

 only entry in the rough-coated bitch class, is a wretched 

 curly-coated specimen, all the same she got first. 



One poor great Dane, Flora L., carried off the "blue." 

 without opposition. Prince Hal, a good black Newfound- 

 land of more than average merit, was alone in the next 

 class. 



Spinaway, a moderate greyhound bitch, was also the only 

 entry in the challenge class; she was shown far too fat and 

 is very straight behind. 



Pour moderate American foxhounds comprised the next 

 two classes and call for no comment. A fair English dog 

 was shown in the puppy class. 



The well-known Ossining," in very poor condition, was 

 alonein thechallenge class for pointers, as was Lady Graphic 

 in the class for bitches. Lad of Kent won easily in the open 

 class. He is a dog with a deal of quality, and in body a 

 hard one to beat in any companj : but he could be improved 

 in skull and might be darker iu eye. Spot, second, is very 

 light of bone and not sprung enough iu ribs; otherwise fair. 

 In bitches, Vesta C, the wiuner, is a good bitch; a bit light 

 of bone, open in feet and decidedly throaty. Lass of Kent, 

 second, beats her in bone, substance and spring of ribs, but 

 loses iu head, shoulders and chest. 



In English setters, Sir Frederick won from Gleudon, who 

 was quite out of condition. Sir Frederick is a good-boned, 

 powerfully made dog, but decidedly inclined to be coarse, 

 heavy in shoulders and a bit common in head. Gleudon 

 shows far more quality, but in the condition he was in was 

 rightly beaten. Rockland, third, was common all over. 

 Spectre was alone in bitches. She is a beautiful bitch, de- 

 cidedly on the small side; but after you have said that, not 

 much fault can be found with her, and she pressed Sir Fred- 

 erick closely for the special. 



In Irish setter dogs Nicho, the winner, is far the better in 

 color, body and substance. King Elcho has the better head, 

 but was in poor condition. Nellie Husted, an eight-months 

 puppy, better in color and head, but Bessie Glencho If. won 

 rightly enough. In puppies General Husted, a poor one, 

 nevertheless won easily from Budweiser, who evidently be- 

 lieves that his sole mission in life is to live and keep grow- 

 ing. 



Of black and tan setters Heather York, the wiuner, is a 

 good upstanding dog of grand color, he has a capital head, 

 legs and feet, but is very light in body and wants letting 

 down a great deal. The well-known Heather Bee was alone 

 in the class for bitches. 



In the challenge class for cockers Cherry Boy easily de- 

 feated his solitary opponent; he is far the better in head, 

 bone and body. In the open class for dogs Adam won from 

 Gothamite; we thought there was little to choose between 

 them, Adam being in the better condition. Eve won in 

 bitches from Lady Oto; she is better in bone aud body, but 

 is wrong iu skull. Two wretched leggy animals showed up 

 in puppies and got vhc. and he, respectively, more than 

 they deserved 



In the collie challenge class for dogs the well-known 

 Roslyn Dandy was alone in his glory, but was rightly beaten 

 by Roslyn Conway for the special for best in the show. 

 Metchley Surprise, all out of coat and condition, was alone 

 in the challenge class for bitches. Roslyn Conway had only 

 Scotilla IV. to beat in the open dog class, which he did 

 easily. Scotilla IV. is likely to go off, as he is already thick 

 in head, has a poor expression and heavy ears. Dot had no 

 difficulty in winning from her opponent, Ban's Jessie. Dot- 

 was all out of coat, is none too good in bead, and decidedly 

 small. In puppies Matchless Scot is weak in head and soft 

 and open in coat. 



The well-known Racer, Jr. , and Twinkle were aloue in 

 the respective challenge classes for beagles. Roy K. won 

 rightly enough in the open dog class. He is a typical hound 

 but is not let down enough in body and might have more 

 bone. The Rambler, second, loses in head, hound character, 

 neck and shoulders. Lady Vic, a good bitch, won easily 

 from her kennel companion, Fanny Racer, who is a bad one. 

 Two fair daughters of Twinkle were alone in the puppy 

 class. 



In the fox-terrier challenge class for dogs Starden's Jack 

 had a. walkover, as did Ebor Nettle in the class for bitches; 

 neither are improving; in fact both seem to be getting worse. 

 In the open dog class Beverwyck Rebel easily disposed of 

 Warren Tripper; neither are good ones, but the winner has 

 the better terrier character and expression and length of 

 head. Woodale Regina, the winner in the bitch class, is a 

 smart little bitch with a good deal of character about her, 

 but she is short and weak in head. She beat Starden's Jack 

 for the special, as he was shown very fat, stood very badly 

 in front and his head and ears, never good, seem to get 

 worse. Beverwyck Crescent, second, is a poor one, as were 

 the rest in the class. In puppies Joe Hooker, the winner, is 

 a fair headed dog, heavy in ears, too long in body and likely 

 to be too large. 



Nellie Bly was alone in challenge class for pugs. All the 

 pugs were very poor, being very faulty in color and none too 

 good in head properties. Mr. Russell's Bedlingtons made a 

 nice display. They are all pretty good ones. We think 

 Christmas Carol the best. They came near beating the Semi- 

 nole collies for the team prize, and not much fault could 

 have been found if they had. The well-known Harper, iu 

 grand condition, was the great attraction of the show- 

 Carney, Frank Dole's new bull-terrier, is a clinker indeed; 

 his eyes look a bit full, but this on examination proves to be 

 due to his eyelids being black; the eye itself is a beautiful, 

 well-set small one. We are told he is likely to give 

 Streatham Monarch a tusscl. Not having seen the latter 

 we cannot express an opinion. At all events.it will take an 

 extraordinary good one to beat him. 



A beautiful couple of dachshunde were shown, we should 

 say the best yet seen over here. The bitch Janet being par- 

 ticularly good and full of quality. 



King of the Heather, a real good Dandie, is a little com- 

 mon, but for all that will be a. hard oue to beat. Heather 

 Madge, was alone in the class for bitches, she is a nice one, 

 but is not. nearly as good as the dog. Hilbar, a smart Scotch 

 terrier, about the best we have seeu, was the only represen- 

 tative of these quaint, game little dogs. 



In the miscellaneous class Pat Murphy, a fair Irish terrier, 

 uucropped, was easily first, Two uioderate.Dalmatians fol- 



lowed, and a poor* Mexican hairless, vhc, completed the 

 list.

DEATH OF MR. N. B. THOMAS, 



Editor Forest and, Stream: 



It is with feelings of the greatest regret that I write to 

 yon to-day announcing the death of the veteran handler. 

 Mr. Nathaniel B. Thomas, of this city. Mr. Thomas was 

 taktn ill with the giip while attending the field trials of 

 the Philadelphia Kennel Club. Your reporter has told us 

 that although suffering severely he handled Katie Noble II. 

 in ber first heat iu the Derby. He insisted upon following 

 the trials and Mr. Winslow, of our club, seeing that he was 

 very ill, insisted upon his taking his horse to ride. It was 

 not' long before Mr. Winslow missed him, and upon search 

 being made found him lying on bis face in the woods in a 

 fainting condition. He was taken back to the house and 

 cared for by Dr. Glass. Soon after reaching his home in 

 this eity pneumonia set in, and, growing steadily weaker, 

 he died on Monday last, the 28th inst. We can appreciate 

 how keen was Mr. Thomas's disappointment in not being 

 able to handle little Kate. You see he had handled ber 

 dam, Katie Noble, for a number of years, and won first prize 

 with her in the All Age stake last year. The strongest at- 

 tachment existed between Mr. Thomas and the "old lady," 

 as be called Katie Noble. He was never content unless the 

 bitch was with him. I have seen tears in his eyes when I 

 have taken Katie away from him to go on a shooting trip, 

 and it was his fondest wish to run her daughter, Little Kate, 

 to the front; he reared her from a puppy, trained her per- 

 fectly, and I firmly believe that had he been in good health 

 he would have won the Derby with ber. 



Mr. Thomas's death will be keenly felt among our local 

 dog men. For many years he had devoted his attention to 

 the development and training of bird dogs. He has trained 

 many dogs for Philadelphia sportsmen, and had acquired a 

 reputation for being one of the most faithful and reliable 

 men in the profession; he invariably gave satisfaction to his 

 employers. He was one of those conscientious men who 

 would never hesitate to tell an owner if a young dog in- 

 trusted to his care would not come up to expectations. He 

 would never take more dogs in his string than he could do 

 justice by, and whenever he gave an opinion on a dog's 

 merits you could tie to it. He reared and trained the noted 

 pointer, Inspiration, and handled Bob H., Rod Gem, and a 

 number of Irish and Gordon setters for gentlemen in this 

 city. He trained and handled the Derby winner of 1890. 

 Mr. Thomas was born at South Weymouth, Mass., Dec. 6, 

 1831. and therefore had passed his sixtieth birthday. He 

 leaves a wile and threfe children and a host of friends to 

 mourn him. 



CHESTNUT HILL KENNELS.— Philadelphia, Pa.— 

 Editor Forest and Stream: I have to advise you that on 

 and after this date my connection with the Chestnut Hill 

 Kennels will cease. I have sold out the dogs owned by these 

 kennels to Mr. Henry Jarrett, who has been managing them 

 for some time, and has practically been their owner as far as 

 the conduct of the kennels, the correspondence and all busi- 

 ness has been concerned. From this on he will be the owner 

 of the dogs and directly responsible for all business and bills 

 contracted in his name or in the name of the kennels. I 

 wish him a most prosperous career, and a steady continuance 

 of the success of the kennels.— Mitchell Harrison (former 

 proprietor Chestnut Hill Kennels). 



The entries for the Albany tiuow number, we arc (old, 190, 

 and as a dispatch says, fifty of them represent * 100,000! Mr, 

 Mortimer, the. judge, should have some good dogs before 

 him, The poultry entries number over 1,000,
