has, however, 'several of tRoger's get that are likely to do 

 well. Among them are Roger's Spark, now being trained 

 by John N. Lewis for tbe Philadelphia and Central Derbies. 

 Also Blue Boy and Rapture. Lucy Gloster and Dora Deaue 

 were also served by Roger and are due to whelp shortly. Mr. 

 Gardner has our sympathy in his loss. 



The committee appointed last February by tbe A. K. C. to 

 arrange for a social club in connection with the A. K. C, 

 have issued a circular embodying their report made to the 

 meeting of delegates, May 19, a brief notice of which we 

 gave in our report of that meeting. The committee was 

 composed of Messrs. Jas. L. Anthony, H. B. Cromwell and 

 C. D. Bernheimer. After careful inquiry this committee 

 found that a suitable club house could be rented for S3, 000 

 per annum. Tbe A. K. C. would pay $500 for its business 

 offices, leaving $2,500 for the rent of the club proper, and in 

 addition they would probably rent certain portions of the 

 house for offices for other organizations, which would fur- 

 ther reduce the rental to $1,500 or $2,000. To start this social 

 department a sum of money will have to be raised for rent, 

 furniture, house fixtures, etc. The committee not wishing 

 to incur any debt on account of the A. K. C, or use any of 

 the A. K. C. money, have devised the following plan: 



"The social department of the American Kennel Club 

 shall consist of such a number of members, not exceeding, 

 however, 2,500, as the club may, through its duly appointed 

 and elected officers, from time to time prescribe — of these 

 only 500 shall be eligible to election without the payment of 

 an initiation fee. Of the 500 there shall be 100 life members 

 who shall become such on election and payment of $100 

 each in advance; 200 shall be resident members, who shall 

 be elected and become such on payment of $20 each annually 

 in advance; 200 shall be non-resident members, who shall be 

 elected and become such on the paymeutjof $12 each annually 

 in advance. The balance, viz., 2,000 members, shall be 

 elected or>ly, and become such, and in such additional num- 

 bers from time to time, and be divided in such proportions 

 between resident and non-resident members as the club may 

 hereafter determine, but no additional life membership 

 shall be permitted, nor shall any additional members be- 

 yond the first 500 be elected hereafter without the payment 

 of an initiation fee in addition to the annual dues. 



"Each duly qualified and elected member shall be en- 

 titled to all the privileges of the club house, and receive in 

 addition all the publications of the club as long as he re- 

 mains a member. 



"The committee have not thought it expedient to enter 

 into any further details, such as drawing up rules or regula- 

 tions, believing that their duty ends with the presenting of 

 a general, feasible and definite plan, which, when adopted 

 by the Association, can, and will be, further developed. 



"Tbey, however, give it as their opinion that the life 

 memberships will be readily taken, a large number being 

 already guaranteed, and the same may be said of the resi- 

 dent and non-resident memberships, and they feel warranted 

 in the statement that if the club approves of the suggestions 

 and general scope and plan as herein outlined, the commit- 

 tee wilt charge itself with obtaining, within a reasonable 

 time, the pledge of a sufficient sum of money to defray, not 

 only all cost of rent, fitting up of club, library, billiard 

 room, reading room, etc., for at least two years, but have on 

 hand thereafter a considerable surplus beside, without 

 trenching on any of the funds of the present Association. 



"The committee beg to offer for the consideration, not 

 only of the Association, but for the public who are inter- 

 ested in dogs, dog show3 or field trials, the advantages of 

 having a reputable, quiet and orderly place of meeting on 

 terms of social intimacy and acquaintance, thus advancing 

 the interests of the doggy public and the development of the 

 various breeds of dogs now owned in America and else- 

 where." 



The idea is a good one, as we have repeatedly stated in 

 these columns, and will no doubt be of great benefit both as 

 a means of bringing dog men closer together and also con- 

 sequently enlarging the kennel interests in New York and 

 other parts of this country. The present quarters of the 

 A. K. C. are totally inadequate as a meeting place for dog 

 men, and from the numerous expressions of approval of this 

 scheme that we have heard there •should be little difficulty 

 iu securing the requisite number of members. The commit- 

 tee is already sure of twenty-five life members, which guar- 

 antees a sum of $3,500, and have promises from a large num- 

 ber of resident and non-resident members. The idea of the 

 committee is to have this charter list of 500 members filled 

 up before club quarters are secured. The dues will be held 

 in trust and not used until then. It is expected to inaugu- 

 rate this club by fall, so that the membership can begin at 

 that time. The A. K. C. approved of this plan at their May 

 meeting, and instructed the committee to go ahead with their 

 arrangements. The secretary of the A. K. C. has forwarded 

 us a copy of the application form for membership. These 

 can be obtained from the secretary of the A. K. C. or at this 

 office. The fees, whether for life, resident or non-resident 

 membership must accompany the application, and we advise 

 all those who wish to get in on the "ground floor" to send in 

 their names and fees as early as possible to the secretary of 

 the American Kennel Club, 44 Broadway, New York City. 



From what we hear there is a field for action by the A. K. 

 C. in the late show held by the California Kennel Club 

 through Rule III., about exhibitors being bona -fl.de owners 

 of the dogs they exhibit. It seems several dogs were exhib- 

 ited at the San Francisco show by persons who did not own 

 them. Several puppies were also shown and won prizes, 

 although under the stipulated age of six months. ' 



Dr. Hartman, of Latrobe, Pa., has issued a price list of 

 dogs which are choicely bred, but quoted at prices within 

 the reach of any one willing- to pay a proper price for proper 

 goods. 



The Blue Grass Kennel Club are compelled to cancel their 

 dates, Aug. 31 to Sept. 3, claimed for their show at Lexing- 

 ton, Ky., as Tattersalls, of London, having purchased the 

 building where the show was to be held, intend to pull it 

 down and rebuild. There is no other suitable building 

 available at that time, but our informant, Mr. Roger 

 Williams, thinks that the show will be held after the 

 Canadian circuit, the latter part of October. We see no 

 reason for regret in this, as by that time the weather would 

 probably be much cooler and therefore more pleasant both 

 for man and dog than it was last year. The relinquishing 

 of these dates should solve the difficulty between Rochester 

 and Hamilton, for unless Rochester is compelled to have the 

 Sept. 6 date, the previous week should answer their purpose 

 just as well, and then the dogs could go on to Hamilton. 



The dissensions among the San Franciscan members of the 

 kennel world seem to grow in bitterness, and it is probable 

 that the A. K. C. will have to take cognizance of the trouble. 

 In the Breeder and Sportsman we find this: "It would 

 seem that the ruling forces of the wrecked California Ken- 

 nel Club are determined to do all in their power to gratify 

 personal spite and give vent to their malevolence. We 

 understand that they have put in a claim for dates for a 

 show next year, conflicting with the dates claimed by the 

 Pacific Kennel Club." From the same paper we learn that 

 Mr. Henry Huber, who is known to Eastern pointer men 

 through his purchase of Duke of Vernon and Sally Brass II., 

 has incurred the ill-will of the C. K, C, and a motion was 

 made at a meeting of the C. K. O, May 23, to expel that 

 gentleman from the club because he had become a member 



of tbe Pacific Kennel Club. Of course we are not altogether 

 familiar with the bearings in this factional fight, but what- 

 ever they are, dogmen cannot but deplore the results that 

 such dissensions will cause just at a time when kennel in- 

 terests on the Pacific coast are looking so rosy. 



Mr. Fred Hoey's fox-terrier Valet, at one time the best dog 

 in the country, or at least considered so by his winnings, 

 has passed over to the majority. This dog was never quite 

 tbe terrier, though when one came to pick him to pieces his 

 many good points could not be passed over. He was, we be- 

 lieve, imported jointly by Messrs. Ed. Kelly and Fred Hoey, 

 Mr. Hoey afterward buying out the former's interest in the 

 dog. Our only "German" carries a pleasing memento of 

 Valet's memorable victory at New York, 1889, in the shape 

 of a handsome silver pencil, presented to him by the de- 

 lighted owner. Speaking of Mr. Hopkins reminds us that 

 he has just purchased a small place at Hempstead, where he 

 will run a few dogs for other people and also try and breed 

 a few fox-terrier winners for himself. 



It is very probable that Mr. L. C. Whiton's greyhound 

 bitch Spinaway will again cross the Atlantic to visit the 

 great Fullerton, or in the event of Mr. Mortimer fulfilling 

 his commission to buy a good bitch over there for Mr Whi- 

 ton and have her bred to the Waterloo winner, Spinaway 

 may be sent over to run in some of the fall meetings under 

 Mr. Dent's pilotage. At the same time we think that grey- 

 hound men in the East would be better pleased to see Mr. 

 Wbiton send his bitch to Great Bend or Merced, where 

 honors, far more pleasing to an American breeder, await a 

 speedy and clever greyhound. 



Mi'. Cbas. Fischer, of Brooklyn, is in trouble. Recently 

 he paid $400 for a harlequin Great Dane puppy to a German 

 breeder, and the dog has escaped or was stolen last Thursday. 

 Great Danes are rather conspicuous animals, and if any of 

 our readers should drop across such a dog they would confer 

 abenefit on the owner by communicating with this office. 



An executive meeting of the National Beagle Club will be 

 held at 266 Washington street, Boston, Mass., on June 10, at 

 t P. M. 



The English Setter Club will hold a special meeting at 

 the rooms of the A. K. C, 44 Broadway, New York city, 

 June 15, at 4 P.M. 



Mr. Stone, in his letter to Forest and Stream giving the 

 list of judges at the forthcoming show in Toronto, says that 

 an Englishman, an Irishman, a Scotchman and a Canadian 

 will don the ermine. While we agree with the Englishman, 

 Scotchman and probably the Canadian part of it, we fail to 

 see where the bid for the Irish vote comes in. Mr. Mason 

 we know is a Yorkshireman, and that is very much English. 

 Mr. Mortimer is a Cornish man if we remember rightly, and 

 although Cornwall claims the Land's End, Ireland is still 

 some distance further away. If the truth was known Mr. 

 Wheeler also claims England for his native country. 



NATIONAL BEAGLE CLUB MEETING. 



Editor Forest and Stream: 



The roll call showed only five members present, so the 

 special meeting called to act on amendments was adjourned 

 sine die. 



An executive meeting was called to order at 9:05 P. M. 

 President Chapman, Vice-Presidents B. S. Turpin and W. 

 S. Clark, W. A. Power and H. V. Jamieson were present. 



Communications read and filed.

 nel Club be laid on the table. 



Voted that the secretary send out printed copies of the 

 amended constitution and by-laws within five days to all 

 members in good standing, together with notice of meeting 

 to be held July 1. 1892. 



Re the title of Frank Forest: 



Whereas, The field trial record of the beagle Frank 

 Forest has been the source of considerable discussion, and 



Whereas, Frank Forest fairly won the special for best 

 beagle in the trials of 1890, and 



Whereas, We believe the difference between "the best clog 

 in the trials" and the absolute winner to be technical varia- 

 tion only, and 



Whereas, We believe it to be the duty of the National 

 Beagle Club to protect its members as far as possible. There- 

 fore be it 



Resolved, That Frank Forest be and hereby is declared 

 the "absolute winner" of field trials of the National Beagle 

 Club, and be entered as such on the records of the club. 



(Signed) W. A. Power.

[copy.] 



"Secretary of A. K. C: We would like to pass the ac-

ANSWERS TO CORRESPONDENTS. 



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

 qnatt-iom relating to ailments of dogs will, be answered by Dr. T. Q. 

 Sherwood, a member of the Royal College of Veu > ii m u burgeons. 

 Communications referring to other matters connected with Kennel 

 Management and dogs will receive careful attention. 



B. A. S„ North Attleboro, Mass.— Answered by mail. 



J. F. O., Allegheny, Pa.— 1. An Irish setter can be of very dark 

 mahogany color, which may approach the color you mention, 

 find still be pure bred. 2. Yes. Cannot find any mention of 

 Gay in either stud book. 



C. S. McC, Troy, N. Y.— Have you or can yon furnish a publi- 

 cation called the "Great Dane Monograph?" Ans. You can pro- 

 cure rhe book from Mr. W. E. Hagans, 505 Stock Exchange Build- 

 ing, Chicago, 111. We do not know the price. 



M. L. W., Harrison, N. .1 —Please send me a prescription for 

 hastening the heating period in bitches. I had one of you some 

 years ago and it got lost. It was very effectual. Ans. Give two 

 grains of manganese di-oxide (made in a pill) three times a day 

 after food. 



R. A. R., N Y. City.— Will you kindly let me know how th* 

 pointer dog Rusty is bred, three or four generations? As far as I 

 can learn he was shown in New York in 1888 or 1889 and at one of 

 these shows was bought, by a Mr. P. W. Lynch for shooting pur- 

 poses. Ans. We can find no dog of that name in the catalogues of 

 those shows nor any mention of it in the stud books. There was a 

 lemon and white dog pup called Rustic shown at New York in 

 1887 by D. C. Gregory, of New York. Sire, Brackett; dam, Lucia. 

 If this is tbe right ooe, can give you extended pedigree. 



A. C. TJ., Marblehead, Mass.— I noticed you did not criticise my 

 collie in last week's paper. I wish if you saw ber at Lewiston 

 Me., and remember her weak points you would publish them. I 

 like to have my dosrs criticised as I am only a beginner and can 

 learn a great deal from fair criticism. Ans. It was an oversight 

 probably on our part not to criticise your bitch, but as she is in 

 the challenge class it was hardly necessary, having been reported 

 on before. Our notes however on this bitch art-: Short snipy 

 head, coat soft and open, light loin, hocks turn in, otherwise 

 fairly good. We can scarcely advise you on the other subject, 

 as we only know the dogs by hearsay; they are well spoken of 

 however, should think Lord Jsaverstlll, Balkis or Gem of the Sea- 

 son quite their equal. 



J. C. W., Houston, Texas.— I have a young greyhound 12mos. 

 old, I hat I prize very highly; for the past 6mos. he has been af- 

 flicted with a disease something like chorea, only on the right 

 side. AtwitchiDgof the limbs first in one leg and again in the 

 other, changes about from one leg to the other; this occurs stand- 

 ing or lying down. It is not violent, hut as it seems to hang on I 

 write to know if anything can be done toward! effecting a perm- 

 anent cure. The dog was never worked hard nor abused in any 

 way nor are his ancestors on either side troubled with it. Ans. 

 First treat for worms. Then give the following mixture: 



Liq. arsenicalis pot 3 ii 



Aq. ad 5 vi 



Mist. First give one dessertspoonful twice a day, then three 

 times a day; then gradually increase to one and a half teaspoon- 

 fuls three times a day. Give the mixture each time after a little 

 food. Continue it for a month.
