There is no charge for aimoerina questions under thin head. All 

 questions relat ing to aUm&nts of dogs wiil he answered by Dr. '£. G. 

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

 Communication* referring to other mutters' connected with Kennel 

 Management and dogs will receive careful attention. 



J. B., West Fitehburg, Mass.— You had better have the dog ex- 

 amined by a' competent "vet," possibly a piece of quill has lodged 

 in the throat. 



M. K,. Rochester, N. Y.— The Hospice Keniifl=, of Arlington. 

 N. J., have been broken up, but there 13 a kennel of that name 

 owned at Shelly, Ohio.

J, S. £., Natick, Mass.— What will remove the odor of a skuuk 

 from my dog. I have tried everything that I can think of with- 

 out success, and the more I do the worse it is. Ans. Time will 

 prove the only remedy, 



W. H. W., Rochester, N. Y.— Do you consider the first litter of 

 pups that a hitch throws makes as intelligent and active dogs as 

 th'o c e of the third or fourth litter? Ans. Yes, and some breeders 

 consider them more so. 



R. D. 8., Lowell, Mich.— Mix one quart of whale oil, Mlb. of 

 pulverized sulphur and J&oz. oil of tar, rub well into affected 

 parts, then wash off in a few days with warm water and castile 

 soap. Repeat if necessary- Avoid heating foods and allow plenty 

 exercise. Dr. Glover's blood purifier will be found very efficacious 

 as well. 



S. E. D., Armstrong, Fla-.— Kindly give me some information in 

 regard to what would make good varmint dogs for Florida. 

 What I want is good trailers and good fighters. Would not some 

 of the terriers fill the bill? Have fox-terriers good nose enough 

 to trail wildcat? Ans 1, Should think Airedale terriers would 

 be the be c t for all-around work, next Irish terriers, though the 

 latter would bardly bs strong enough to tackle wildcats. 3. We 

 do not think so, they are not trailers. 



E. A. C, Westchester, N. Y.— Kindly give me the pedigree in 

 your paper of Gus Bondhu two or three generations, also Bo 

 Peep the same, and what prizes they ha ve won if any. Ans. Gus

 and Home Nellie, both were imported and exhibited by Mr. Wm. 

 Crozier. of Loug Dland. Can I find iu any of the back numbers 

 of the Fokest ajid Stream any account of these dogs of that 

 date? Ans. We can find no mention of these dogs other than 

 that they were first prize winners at the Centennial show, Home 

 Nellie being shown by George Aiken, Chester. Pa., and Sport by 

 W. Crozier, North Point, L. I. 



J. J. W., Pittstie'd, Mass.— Having come into possession of the 

 setter bitch B"ps, formerly owned and registered in the American 

 Kennel Register bv T. J. Peck, of Pittstteld, Mass., Jan. 29, can I

 issue of American Kennel Register, 1889. 



A" Constant Readeh,. New Orleans, La.— Please advise me 

 whether or not the Boston terrier is a distinct breed, and why so 

 called? Ans. There is a Boston Terrier Club, and the admirers 

 of the dog claim that it is a distinct breed; but as yet it has not 

 been recognized hy the American Kennel Grub. This terrier was 

 known until recently as the round-headed bull-terrier, and indi- 

 genous to B->st on and surrounding districts; this was afterwaid 

 changed to Boston terrier. They are a cross between a bulldog 

 and terrier: they come all sorts, shapes and sizes, and are not by 

 any means of one distinct type. Nevertheless, they are bright, 

 smart companions. 



W. L. R., Randolph. N. Y.— I have a bitch that the party 1 

 bought ber from claimed was sired by a full-blood beagle. He 

 said that he lined her with a genuine Rowett beagle. Can vou 

 give me a description of a Rowett beagle? The bitch whelped 

 four pups; one black, white and tan, the other three nearly all 

 black, one of them with tan markings, the other two with white 

 and tan markings. Do they show correct markings for beagles? 

 Ans. The Rowett beagles were a strain derived from General 

 Rowel Ps importation of Sam, Dolly and Warrior, and noted tor 

 their bunting qualities, endurance and general appearance of 

 "pocket" foxhounds. They were, we believe, the tvpe selected by 

 which the present beagle standard was compiled, a cop v of which 

 you can procure bv writing to Mr, H. V. Jamieson, Melrose, Mass. 

 The markings you mention are all good hound colors. 



H. W. R., Clinton, N. Bv- 1. Give a short description o£ the 

 Dandie Dinmont terrier, including its weight. 2. What are the 

 principal differences between American and English foxhounds? 

 3. Suppose a hull-terrier good in other respects but one ear stand- 

 ing up straight, the other laying "hack o^ his head. Would not 

 that prevent his winning at a dog show? Ans. 1. The general 

 appearance of a Dandle Diumonf. ip thai of a rough -coaled, t hi-, k - 

 setdog, very low on the leg, body flBStible and long in proportion 

 In height, but broad, deep-chested and compact. Had large, 

 with broad and well-domed skull, covered with light-colored hair 

 softer and more silkv in texture than that on the bodv. Jawa 

 1 on g. string and slightly tapering to the nose, which inm-t be 

 >>laek. Eyes large and set wide apart and of a dark color. Neck 

 thick and musmlar, shoulders low and loin arched, ear= pendulous 

 and hanging low. Lags short and verv muscular, allowing the 

 chest to come well down between them. Tail carried gaily and 



well fringed with hair. Expression of great determination, 

 strength and activity. Height, 8 to 10in.; weight, 14 to221bs.; 

 about 181bs is the best. 3. The American foxhounds are built on 

 lighter lmes throughout than the English hound, not so well set 

 on their legs and are supposed to have greater speed in hilly or 

 rough country. 3. It would only affect his chances in close com- 

 petition. 



Sage, Huutingtou, Ore.— The dog in question is a pointer'seven 

 months old, and, although not exactly gun shy. is startled at the 

 report; an unusually timid dog at all times. Would you kindly 

 answer the following questions and make any suggestions you 

 may think of? 1. In what way is a choke collar used in forcing a 

 dog to retrieve? 2. Would you advise thin method to be used on a 

 dog as described? 3. At what part of bis education would vou 

 use same, and at what age would you start him in the field ? I. 

 Would vou advise the use of an old dog or tram him separate 1? y 

 Ans. 1. Grasp the collar with the right hand close to the dog's 

 neck. In the left hand hold a pad or old glove. The first lessons 

 are directed solely to teaching the dog to open his month when 

 ordered to "Fetch." When the order is given, j«rk just hard 

 enough to make the dog cy out. When he opens his mouth place 

 the glove iu it and cease punishment instantly. If the dog throws 

 the glove out of his mouth, replace it, holding the left hand under 

 his under jaw, raising his nose slightly in the air, thus forcing 

 him to hold it in his mouth. Bv repetition, he will learn to open 

 his mouth at the order "Fetch," without any punishment. After 

 he is perfect in t 1 ' is, the next stage is to teach him to walk forward 

 a step or two and take the glove out of the hand. This is done by 

 giving the order "Fetch," and jerking the collar with force 

 enough to make him walk forward to the glove and grasp it with 

 his mouth. After he will walk forward and grasp the glove to 

 order without punishment, teach him to take it from the hand 

 when near the floor or ground. This is commonly the most diffi- 

 cult part of the work. Do not depend on force entirely. Ind uc« him 

 to show some playful eagerupss by waving the glove in his face 

 and getting him to grasp it without punishment. Pat and praise 

 him every time he does well, do not hurry bis trainina\ and by oil 

 means do nrtf lose your temper. You might get your doa so he 

 would pick up an object to order in three or four days, but you 

 had better take three or four weeks. Have him. thoroughly obe- 

 dient at home before you ask retrieving afield. 3. Do not attempt 

 to teach retrieving by force till your dog is thoroughly over his 

 timidity, and you had better wait till he is thoroughiv field 

 broken before you attempt it. 3. He is old enough to start in 

 traiuing next fall. Retrieving should not be taught to any dog 

 before the second season at the earPest, 1. If he will hunt, train 

 him alone. If he is too timid tn hunt alone, an old dog which will 

 hunt without loud orders or punishment would help to give him 

 confidence. You would do well to let him chase rabbits, birds, 

 etc., during the summer, taking him out in the fields aud letting 

 him have his own way without any attempts at training afield, 

 although you could give some yard lessons profitably, always 

 avoiding anything which would make the dog afraid. 



WHITECAPS FROM THE -HUB." 



PRIOR to the formation of the American Canoe Association in 1880 

 there were scarcely a dozen canoe clubs or combined boat and 

 canoe clubs in the country. Canoeing has exhibited a steady though 

 not very rapid growth since that year. In looking over the list of 

 dubu In the A, C. A. year-book for l&H theo'her day. 1 find that the 

 formation of canoe club* ha« beeu fairly rapid since 1880. By vears 

 it is as follows: 1880, 3; 1881, 0; 1882. 3; 1883, 9; 1884, 6; 1885, *2; 1888 

 (the banner year), SO ; 1887, U; 1888, IB; 1889, 13; 1890, 18; 1891,18. 

 From the foregoing it will be seen that since 1888 the growth of the 

 club list has been rapid, and there are to-day upward of 160 clubs 

 either wholly or in part devoted to this pleasant sport. That to the 

 prominence given to canoeing, by the A. C. A., has been largely due 

 this increase is beyond a doubt and, it may be fairly stated, that 

 every right-minded canoeist should consider it his duty to lend his 

 support to an association which has as its principle the"advaucement 

 of canoeing. One does not gain much by joining the A C. A. except 

 a certain standing among canoeists, and a year-book, but "in union 

 there is strength," and many benefits may accrue to its members 

 when the A. C. A. has become a large aud strong organization. 

 Every man that propels a canoe, either by sailor paddle, to-day, has 

 been benefitted by the A. C. A , hence he should lend his support in 

 order that still greater benefits may be showered upon him. There 

 is a feeling of pride in knowing that you have contributed your mite 

 toward the advaucement of your chosen sport. 



I have been working in the Eastern Division, A. C. A., on the year- 

 book, and find that there are seven clubs in the division owning war 

 canoes capable of carrying ten men or over. A very healthy 

 growth is noticed in almost all the clubs. Everything points to an 

 early opening of the season around Boston. 



The Puritan C. C. has been negotiating for an island in Boston 

 Harbor upon which to build a summer "Lodge." The island is about 

 five miles from the P. P. C. house. 



The Mas-asoit C. C, of So. Boston, have the use of a small island 

 near Downer's Lauding, about seven miles from their house, upon 

 which they have a camp in summer season. 



Mr. Geo. R. Underwood, of the Puritan C. O.has purchased the 

 Vesper canoe '-Ellida," formerly owned by Mr. Ralph Braver, of 

 Lowell. He intends to race her, aud will, we hope, give the leaders 

 a push at the meet. 



Considerable interest is being manifested in the coming A. C. A. 

 meet, and Boston will be well represented at Willsboro' Point in 

 August. 



The "Hubites" will give up the haphazard style of making camp 

 next year and will exhibit a model camp in many respects One 

 feature will be the totem of the club upon which work will soon 

 commence. 



I think a cerfectly stunuing A. C. A. camp could be arranged by 

 offering a prize for the club presenting the best camp at the meet, 

 which scheme 1 offer as a suggestion to our worthy executive, 



Ilex.

Nothing short of a resumption of international racing could equal 

 in importance the news just made public of the sale of Gloriana to a 

 racing owner, and of her participation in tbe coming season's racing 

 hi the hands of a skipper who will do full justice to her. Her new 

 owner is Dr. W. Barton Hopkins, of Philadelphia, a member of the 

 leading yacht clubs, whose summer home i3 at Newport, where .the 

 yacht will probably remain. Dr. Hopkins has owned for several 

 years the 53 footer Cinderella, recently s»ld to Lake Ontario, and la,st 

 season he started her in a number of races. He has re-engage.d Cap- 

 tain John Barr, who sailed Cinderella, last year, and who will now 

 have as his most dangerous antagonist his brother, Captain Charles 

 Barr, in the new Herreshoff 46-footer Wasp. 



Both of the Barrs are well known here, having come to America in 

 Clara in 1885 and sailed her ever since. Captain John Barr was in 

 Clara for two years, having command of Thistle in 1887 on her visit 

 to America. The next year he commanded the cutter Thora in 

 Scotch waters, but in 1889 aud '90 he was again in command of Clara 

 under the ownership of Dr. Barron, while in '91, as stated, he sailed 

 Cinderella. Though considerably younger than his brother, Captain 

 Charles Barr is equally well known here, having sailed Minerva 

 through her two successful seasons. '89 and '90, after sailing her out 

 from Scotland in 188S. In 1891 he was in command of the Burgess 

 46 footer Oweene, doing very well with her. 



With the assurance of Gloriana. Wast) and Harpoon (Beatrix), the 

 latter owned and handled by two of the leading Corinthian sailors. 

 Messrs. Adams, the racing iu the 4tift. class is likely to be closer and 

 more interesting than last season. While such other yachts as may 

 wifJi to start will be welcome, this trio unquestionably represents the 

 chief result of the skill and money which has been so liberally ex 

 pended in tbe creation of the new class ; and the racing between three 

 yachts picked from a fleet of a dozen, and each in the best racing 

 form, offers sport far and away above the very unsatisfactory con- 

 tests that marked the class through a great portion of last season. 

 It is reasonably certain that the three will be on an equality in form , 

 handling and construction, aud that the racing will be a much more 

 severe test of type and model than that of last year, and conse - 

 quently of far greater real value. 



It will probably be a very long time before the authentic hoes of 

 Gloriana are mad6 public, but in the meantime the design which we 

 publish tbisueek and last will give a very close idea of her many 

 novel features. Though based on free-hand sketches and on dimen- 

 sions which, while approximate, are not exact, the design has beer> 

 worked out with special care, and offers a far more satisfactory 

 basis for study and comparison than anything yet published or litely 

 to be concerning the yacht. 



SIZE VS. LENGTH AND SAIL AREA, 



Edit or /•'■•." *' and Stream: 



It is evident that while we are getliug gradually a "leetle nigher 

 apirt" we are not quite ni«h enough to embark in the same boat. 



You could not have selected a better example than the little cutter 

 Nameless of a 25X7x6 boat, aud as you have chosen her, I will name 

 Chippewa, for comparison, as a representative light draft. 



Chippewa is 24ft. xllft.xSft., and carries with ridiculous ease her 

 sail area of 745sq. ft. According to your method of calculation, you 

 would make the last named boat larger than the first because she is 

 able to carry to advantage 14.5ft. of sail in excess of what is con- 

 sidered correct for the Nameless. 



Nameless carries a large amount of lead in her keel, while Chip- 

 pewa has clone some of her best sailing absolutely without any bal- 

 last, and with a limited crew. 



Now, the point I wish to make is that in cubic contents— i. e , size- 

 Nameless is the larger. She is also longer on the waterbne. She 

 carries her limited area of sail by the leverage of the lead in her keel 

 acting up-m her greater size, while Chippewa carries her larger sail 

 easily because of her shape. In light winds Chippe ? a outsails Name- 

 less a trifle, bur in a wholesail breeze she beats the latter about 20 

 minutes in 20 miles. "Cape Cod cats'' are nowhere with either of 

 these fast boats. Thomas Clapham. 



Rosltn, L. I., April 22, 189.2. 



[The cubic contents of the two boats are of no possible value as a 

 gauge of their capabilities for speed, but even if they were we are of 

 the opinion that the actual cubic contents of Nameless would be less 

 than Chippewa, a fact that can only be determined from the draw- 

 ihgs of the two. Without a more intimate acquaintance with the 

 two boats we would not attempt to say whether they should race on 

 even terms or if not, what allowance is due from one to the other, 

 nor are we aware that they have ever sailed together sufficiently to 

 give a s itisf actory test of their respective speeds. Chippewa's ex- 

 cess of beam, 70 per cent, greater than Nameless, gives her greater 

 sail carrying power than the former's lead keel, and she is probably 

 taxed fairly for the extra canvas under the rule. It is merely guess - 

 work to argue over two boats so radically different iu type "without 

 the exact drawings and sail plans and a Knowledge of their relative 

 sneed-i. Our original proposition, which Mr. Clapham has lost sight 

 of entirely, was that in centerboard boats of the same length and 

 same general type, the one with 12ft. of beam and 900ft. of sail was in 

 every way larger than the one of 9ft. beam aud 700ff . of sail. This 

 wouid be true under the cubic contents rule which Mr. Clapham now 

 advocates, and which would be no less distasteful to the owner of a 

 wider boat than the Seawanhaka rule is.] 



NEW york;y. r. a. 



r |M?E first general meeting of the year of the New York Yacht 

 I Racing Association was held April 22, at O'Neill's. Delegates 

 from the Brooklyn, Csnarsie. Columbia, Harlem, Hudson River, 

 ludian Harbor. Jersev City, Newark, New Jersey. Pavonia, Staten 

 Inland Athletic, and Yonkers Corinthian were present. Com. A. J. 

 Prime, presided. 



The report of the Dinuer Committee was read aud accepted and 

 the committee discharge! with thanks, 



The following amendment to Rule I. of the Sailing Rules, relating 

 to classification was adopted by adding after Class G, Class H, 

 all yawl-rigged yachts. 



It was also decided to hold the usual aimual cruise, and all matter 

 relating to the same includiog the time and place of rendezvous was 

 left to the president with power. From remarks by the president, 

 the cruise'will probably be fixed for the last week in July. The sen- 

 timent of the meeting seemed to be that the cruise be out through 

 the Narrows this year insteai of on the Sound, as heretofore. 



GLORIANA'S racing form. 



THE following letter from Viee-Com. Morgan corrects an error 

 which we shared in common with others in regard to Gloriana's 

 preparation for her first races. It appears that but little sailing was 

 done prior to her coming to New York, notwithstanding which she 

 showed up in far belter form than is usually found in a new yacht: 

 /-.'(/ if (.<• Forest and Stream: 



Referring to your article on i iloriaua iu the Fomss/r and Stream of 

 April 38,3 wish to say that previous to her first race Gloriana went 

 ^ailing but five times, inclusive of her trip to New York. 



There wa« no timing up attempted, as it would have been nearly 

 impossible under the conditions at one time with a large party pt 

 ladies, on auot'ier for but a half hour, etc. 



I thought you would wish to know this, as all previous reports have 

 been misleading. E, D. Morgan. 



Wheatlv, Westbury Station, L. 1., April 30.
