 dogs show up well. The greyhounds on exhibition are 1 

 poor lot compared with the animals that are owned in San

CANADA AT THE WORLD'S FAIR. 



TT is gratifying to know that the matter of the exhibit of 

 Ati^nW^T a *- the ^'Jd'a Fair in 18ft3, has been 

 taken up by the Canadian government. No pains will be 

 spared to get together a thoroughly representative lot of 

 animal?, and it is not too much to expet that from 400 to 

 500 dogs will be sent on from the Dominion. 



The expense of shipping dogs to Chicago will be borne by 

 the Dominion government, and as no entry fee will be 

 charged the humblest fancier who has a dog worth show- 

 ing, will be able to send him on to swell what will undoubt- 

 edly be the largest and finest bench show ever held in the 

 memory of man. 



A Canadian superintendent will be appointed by the 

 Canadian government to collect entries, arrange for ship- 

 ments, and attend personally to the wants of Canadian ex- 

 hibitors anl their dogs at the show. 



J^^a i^r na( \ iaT r, ff nnel Chl o has unanimously recom- 

 Son ^ °- Stewart of Hamilton, Out., for the posi-

INFLUENCE OF A PREVIOUS SIRE. 



Editor Forest and Stream: 



Breeders who have had experience by intent or bad luck 

 would expect a litter of "kyqodles" as the result of tossing 

 F,T* e t rS aD f, ^Wfauadlands. But r,hey would not find of 

 expect anything but straight goods when the respective

THE A, C. A. FLAG. 



Editor Forest and Stream: 



The A. C. A. sigr al as prescribed was derived from the signal hfSa» 

 ceriam canoe club. 



The A. C. A. members disregard the proportions of the device I 

 apprebend, because the narrow white stripe prescribed would make 

 the white field too small to contain (A. C. A.) initials of appropriate 

 size. The A. C. A. certificate of membership bears the design com 

 plamed of m the Fokest and Stream (April 1) but. the design has 

 evidently become popular on its merits by rea?on of its superiority In 

 the signal prescribed by the rules. ' 



The A. C. A. shou'd acknowledge tbis reform by amendment The- 

 rules would accordingly prescribe the wMte longitudinal stripe (o h <v 

 of a width f ciual to one- third or one-fourth tbe flag hoist. 



Periods of abbreviation for initial letters in flags, signals or pen. • 

 nants do not seem to be required. Red Wing A P. V 



April 27.. ' ' 



[From 1880 until 1887 tbe A. C. A. flag was made according to tli 

 regulation pize without any complaint of insufficient width for tb- 

 letters, and hundreds of these flags are in use now. The cnane 

 which we pointed out came about througb mere carelessness but i 

 not corrected will result in serious confusion. Many members st 

 make use of the regulation flag, and it would be unjust to them fc 

 replace it by a new standard merely b^cau^e some cnoose to disr 

 gard entirely the printed rules of the Association.]

VESPER B. C. 



WEDNESDAY evening, May 4, witnessed one of 'he largest gath- 

 erings of members of the Vesper Boat Club of Lowell Iw 

 that has occured m its history. There were also a large number oV 

 former members present. Tbey were brought together by an an- 

 nouncement that there would be a smoke talk on the ever.ina- 

 mentioned with sundry attractive features. The principal of thnsS. 

 features consisted of about 90 stereopticon slides, made from nega- 

 tives by sundry members of the club, thrown on the screen and 

 described by President Butler. During tbe lest eight or ten vears 

 it has been the custom of the canoeing men of the club to transport 

 canoes to the headwaters of many of the small streams in fchil 

 vicinity, and cruise down stream in companv. Seldom if ever has 

 such cruise been made when there was not one or more amateur- 

 photographers m tbe company. Accordingly, President Butler was 

 able to obtain a complete pictorial memoranda of such events ThS 

 pictures included pretty bits of scenery, groups of the canoeists at 

 luneh, rapid running, capsizes, and scores of interesting mcidente 

 of lhe occasion which have been preserved. Til ere were views also 

 ot the sailing contingent, coveri-g the last eight years, showine- in 

 the most interesting way the development of boat and rie in thn^ 

 time: reminiscenes of tbe meet held at Winn's Bluff, on the AWf 

 mack, Id 1886. in which the A. O. A. officers co-operated with the" 

 Vesper club, and where Dr. Neide gave the first impulse to local 

 interest in the Association; scenes from the Eastern Division me^ta 

 afTyiig's Pond, in 1890 and 1891 : selections from Vesper camnf t7d 

 \esper men in the races, at various me=ts of the Association includ- 

 ing Late George, Lake Champlain and the St. Lawrence as 'well « 

 many memorable and enjoyable events at Calla Shasta on the Oort 

 nectieut, races of the Field and Marine Club at Gravesend Bav rt* 

 The very rafters of the boat house vibrated with peals of laughter" 

 and applause as well remembered incidents of mishap and aehWe. 

 ment were again brought to view. Then followed refreshment and" 

 this was the bill of fare: A sheet-iron pan about 3ft square of 

 maccaroni. prepared with cheese and cream, cicelv browned form 

 ing the mece.de resi.tance: fried sausages, ham and chicken sand- 

 mches, o wes, pilot bread and other crackers. Coffee was provided 

 and beer by individuals. On this occasion also the qualities of a new 

 piano were exhibited . The instrument was purchased from contribtt. 

 tions ot about $350. subscribed spontaneously for that purpose & 

 the last meeting of the club. Included in this fund were a larg®- 

 number ot checks for g5 and 10 from men v ho former'v w ere metnherV 

 a significant indication of the good will the club enjoys among those 

 who have removed fiom the city or who feel themselves to have oX 

 grown the sports to which it is devoted. The piano gave general 

 satisfaction, - A coterie of musically- gifted members of the cliSt
