FOREST AND STREAM. 



[Feb, IV, 1892. 



THE CHICAGO SHOW. 



[Special to Forest and Stream,] 



Ci HICAGO ,111., Feb. 9.— The Maseoutah Club show opened 

 > this morning with a greater attendance than ever: but 

 the show itself was at sixes and sevens owing to a carload 

 of Spratts benching having gone astray. Many of the dogs 

 are not benched yet, owine to lack of facility. This delayed 

 the judging till 1 P. M. Visiting dogmen present are W*. C. 

 Reick, Dr. Sauvertr, Frank Dole, S. L. Boggs, John Moore- 

 head, Geo. Bell, W. B. Wells, Major Taylor, V. Haldeman, 

 E. B. Sears, Ed Booth. Henry Jarrett and all the judges 

 already named, Dr. Glover, J. W. Newman, Stead man 

 Hanks, J. F. Pritchard, Ben Lewis, E. B. Elliott, George 

 Thomas, etc. 



The class of dogs, on the whole, is excellent. Pointers 

 and setters very good: great entries by Ben Lewis, E. B. 

 Elliott, George Thomas and others. Great show of Psovies, 

 Mr. Hanks showing a wonder in Leekhoi. Greyhounds are 

 well represented and so are the terriers, especially fox-ter- 

 riers. Collie classes contain the best. At present the show 

 is not running smoothly, but to-morrow will be better, as 

 three more rings will be ready.' The awards made to-day

ANSWERS TO CORRESPONDENTS. 



There is no charge for answering questions under this head. All 

 questions relating to ailments of dogs will be answered hy Dr. T. G. 

 Sherwood, a member of the Royal College of Veterinary Surgeons. 

 Communications referring to other mailers connected icith Kennel 

 Management and dogs unit receive caref ul attention. 



J. A., Carbondale, Pa.— We cannot furnish them. 



C. M. K., New York City— Vol. 8 of the A. K. C S. B. is not out 

 yet; write to A. P. Vredenburgh, 44 Broadway, New York. 



Madison. N. J-— Does white ever appear on a pure-blooded 

 Irish setter*? Ans, Yes; sometimes on chest, muzzle or feet. 



C. T. B., New Bedford, Mass.— Please give pedigree of Gordon 

 setter bitch Mr. Atk'n's Nellie Horton. Ans. Nellie Korton, by 

 Munn's imported Duke ot Gordon out of Til ley's Dream, hy 

 J«rome's Shot out of his Mab, by imported Ranger out of im- 

 ported Juno. This is the only bitch of that nam? we can find. 



j. O. M>, Sunshine, Wash.— I bought a terrier dog about one 

 year old for a ratter. He finds them all right and is keen and 

 anxious, but doe* not seem to know how to kill them, as he takes 

 them in his mouth and lets them go again, sometimes taKing 

 fifteen minutes to kill. How shall I train him to kill them when 

 he takes hold of them first. Ans. We know of no remedy unless 

 vou could get some smart terrier to show him how a few times. 

 Like a cat he may take pleasure in the victim's misery, 



H. B., Greenfield, Mass.— 1. Should a rough-coated and smooths 

 coated St. Bernard dog be marked alike to be p-izs dcgB, and 

 should they be marked alike to score the highest number of points 

 possible to either? 3. Are rough and smooth-coa ed St. Bernards 

 bred alikf-? Ans. 1. The coat is the only difference between 

 them. S. St. Bernards of either kind when bred together will 

 often produce some pup 1 * rough and some smooth in the sajne 

 litter. Roughs and smooths are frequently bred together. 



B. D, T., Fairfield, Conn. — What is the matter with my hound 

 pup, and what shall I do for him? He woke me up lastnight, and 

 when I came down stairs he a'aggered toward me. and his hind- 

 parts seemed weak. He got over it in a little while and appeared 

 all right. I have never noticed anything the matter wiihbim 

 before, with the exception of a kind of choking noise, as if he had 

 something in his head or throat. Yesterday he scratched hie 

 nose and fussed considerably. Aus. Probably had a fit. Treat 

 tor worms, and give cod liver oil and hypo-phosphates. If neces- 

 sary to write again give a more full description of symptoms, age, 

 etc. We presume the puppy has not had distemper. 



P., New York.— My setter bitch, two years old, has some kind 

 of skin disease, causing her to scratch the hair off. Have been 

 using lotions I got from a dog doctor, but get no benefit from 

 them. Is ihere anything I can do to stop the itching and make 

 the hair gi-ow again? Ans. Treat for worms and apply the fol- 

 lowing dressing all over every other day for a fortnight, then 

 wash off and repeat in a day or two if necessary: Kerosene, 3D3S8." 

 oil of tar, loz.; sublimed sulphur, 8oz; cottonseed oil, l&iz; mix 

 together. Also give the following mixture:

This first installment of the promised vindication and explanation 

 of the new deed of gift by its Boston correspondent appears in the 

 last issue of The Yachtsman, and though the matter is treated at con- 

 siderable length, there is nothing at all new, or that we have not dis- 

 cussed in detail over four years since. Everyone knows that the 

 second deed was farf rom perfect, and that the altered conditions of 

 yacht racing since 18V7 called for some supplementary provisions to 

 the liberal and generous, hut too briefly worded deed of the five don- 

 nors; but there was nothing even in the Mayflower — Arrow contro 

 versy or the old Rule 8 prohibiting oenterboards, to justify the secret 

 and hasty adoption of adocutuunt that violates in every way the 

 fair and manly spirit that stands out in every word of the original 

 and genuine deed. The first change, in 1831, was in all probability 

 illegal, and certainly insufficient and unsatisfactory, but it conformed 

 to a eertaia extent to the original deed, and had none of the conspic- 

 uously unfair provisions of the last change. 



It is useless to go oyer the threadbare points of this last attempt 

 at a aefense; we havd pointed out tiin9 and again, that the new deed 

 shuts out all existing yachts, or any new yacht under 90ft., that the 

 mutual agreement which wa« the chief feature of the original deed 

 is a trivial detail in the new one, that the dimension clause cannot bo 

 "waived," but it must form the basis of a. challenge; that the inside 

 course was far- worse for Voluuteer and Mayflower with 22ft, under 

 them than the Thistle or Galatea with 13ft., an-i that British yachts- 

 men have gi7en ianaarly every case from ten to twelve months 

 notice, which the New York Y. C. has declined to recognize or ac- 

 cept. 



We have not forgotten, too, that this last apologist for a part of the 

 new deed was for ths first two yaars a firm dsfender of the same di - 

 mension clause which he now condemns, and that he called on all 

 the commodore* of Boston to witness its fair and generous spirit. 



The new deed has killed international ra.?lng, not alone through the 

 dimension clause, bat through the narrow, selfish and illiberal spirit 

 which controlled its whole inception and production, a spirit which 

 is evident even in those claus3s which are not in' themselves objec- 

 tionable, and which has not hesitated to sacrifice the rights and in- 

 terests of America a yachts and American yachtsmen in order to re- 

 tain possession of the America's cup. 



The feature of the season's raciug in the East promises to be the 

 new 21ft. class, the removal of the restrictions on over all length, 

 and the general adoption of the Seawanhaki rule hy the clubs chiefly 

 interested in these smill flyers having given a great impetus to build- 

 ing. Half a dozen new boats, including one or two from Heneshoffs', 

 are now under way, and will be racing off Marblehead in two or thw> 

 months.
