sister to Dominica, Mr. Logan's crack bitch. Rlie has thrown 

 since her arrival six puppies by the great D'Orsay. Another 

 good one was Brock enhurst Queenie, purchased from Mr. 

 Tinne, and before she left was served by Venio, and she now 

 has four promising puppies. Another one from Mr. Tinne's 

 kennel was the bitch Grouse II., served by Mr. Redmond's 

 celebrated Dominie, and from her he has five puppies. So 

 it will be seen in starting the kennel Mr. Hanks has secured 

 young stock of the very best blood. While in Ru.ssia he 

 succeeded in buying three good Barzois, i. c, the dog Duk- 

 hoi, from the kennels of Prince Cralitzin, a bitch, Zlodeylia, 

 from the Czar's Imperial Kennels, and abitcb, Svodka, from 

 A. J. Rousseau's kennel. These Barzois left St. Petersburg 

 Aug. 31, and are now on their way to this coimtry, and it is 

 to be hoped that they will arrive "in better shape than Mr. 

 Hacke's recent imi)ortations. The bitch Svodka was served 

 before leaviug Russia by the celebrated .stud dog Otaman. 

 We shall therefore soon" have a very respectable collection of 

 this breed in this country, and shall therefore need some 

 definite standard to judge by, as they have evidently pecix- 

 liarities of form that cannot altogether be judged on grey- 

 hound lines. 



We remind our sportsmen readers that intend running 

 dogs at the Eastern Field Trials in November next, that the 

 entries for the All-Aged Setter and Pointer Stake, with 

 prizes of S500, $250 and $150, close Oct. 1. Forfeit $10, with 

 $20 additional to fill. The Champion Stake also closes on 

 that date excepting for dogs that win an All-Aged Stake 

 after the date of closing of entries; these may enter the 

 night before running. Forfeit $\0 and $15 additional to fill. 

 An entries must be sent to Washington A. Coster, Saratoga 

 Springs, N. Y. 



Mr. Watson informs that arrangements have been made 

 whereby those who desire to attend the great coursing- 

 meeting at Great Bend, Kan,, in October, can do so for a 

 fare of $50 there and back. This is a big concession, and 

 further, if eighteen people signify their intention of going, 

 a Pullman hunting car can be secured. The trip will last 

 ten days, starting on Oct. 17; and surely there is a sufficient 

 number of sportsmen who will send their names to Mr. 

 Watson, 371Fulton street, BrookljTi, to secure this privilege. 



hounds, English setters and fox-terriers will, no dqubt, be a 

 sight to cheer the heart of every sportsmen. 



The comina: dog show at Cincinnati, Oct. 14 to 17, is the 

 talk of the town. Mariy calls have been made for premium 

 lists, which are now in the printer's hands and will be 

 mailed this week. The entries close Oct. 3; entry fee SI for 

 first and 50 cents for each additional dog. The show will 

 be fed with Austin's dog bread. Letters to the secretary 

 miist be addressed to 3 East Fourth street, Cincinnati, O. 

 Mr. Frank C. Wheeler judges all classes. 



We have received a printed copy of the code of rules for 

 cour.sing of the National Greyhound Club and adopted by 

 the American Coux-sing Club. We notice that one of t^ie 

 rules provides that all dogs to compete in coursing meets 

 ol: the club must have been registered in the National Qrcy- 

 lioii nd dull SL'Ud Book. The Orcyliound Stud Booli. will 

 be published by the National Greyhound Club. 



Captain Edwards, of whose breed of terriers called the 

 "Sealyham terriers" we spoke recently, writes to "Peto" 

 of the Canine World some interesting accounts of their 

 plucky doings. In speaking of their hunting capabilities, 

 he gives the following account of one of the smallest of his 

 terriers: "She was not bigger than a torn cat and got last 

 winter into an earth, which ran from a cover right up into a 

 field. I could hear the little terrier fighting terribly not a 

 foot from the surface. T sent for a spade, and there was a 

 great cra.g fox and the terrier, the latter's face and head a 

 mass of blood. I got her out, and in order to further test 

 her pluck, let her in again. At him she went as plucky as 

 ever. That day the Pembrokeshire hounds were drawing 

 the opposite side. There was a river between us. They 

 drew their side blank. Mr. Lort Phillips, our M. P. H., had 

 one of his 'whips' my side, and the curious part of it was 

 that when digging out the fox I could see the whip's horse 

 had been standing for many minutes right over where the 

 fox was, not a foot from the horse's hoof. Our M. F. H. did 

 not know I had marked a fox. However, I bagged this 

 great gray dog fox, and soon after, in going home, I met 

 Mr. Phillips and the hounds, and I told him I had a bag fox. 

 So we turned him off there and then. It was a quarter to 3. 



handsome silver cup has been provided for the Derby at the 

 American Coursing Club meeting of Oct. 20. The finances 

 of the N. G. C. are in a flourishing condition. The com- 

 mittee reported that wax impressions oflthe medal to be given 

 at various dog shows were looked for every day. 



Kennel Notes deferred to next week.

MR. H. C. CORBETT, KINGSTON, CAN. 



MR. A, D. STEWART, Hamilton, Can. 



Having the himting car will allow of several dogs being 

 taken along free. 



Mr. John Grace, of San Francisco, will judge at the 

 American Coursing Club meeting at Great Bend, Oct. 30, 

 This is a good selection, judging from reports of his previous 

 efforts. 



Mr. Jamrach is dead. Mr. Jamrach was noted the world 

 over as a naturalist and importer, trader and exporter of 

 wild animals. When Barnum was burned out he supplied 

 him with many of his animals. To dog men he was known 

 as an enthusiastic breeder of long-haired Russian greyhounds 

 and Japanese spaniels. 



Mr. Moorehead has sent us some further information 

 regarding his newly imported bull-terrier, Streatham Mon- 

 arch. This dog as a puppy was advertised for sale by Mr. 

 Copeman as being "the best bull-terrier puppy living at his 

 age, he being then four and a half months old, price, twenty- 

 five pounds." The pup was .sold at this price, but on the 

 day of delivery fell ill with distemper, and after being- 

 nursed through a very bad attack, being at death's door for 

 six weeks, he pulled through and was sold for fifteen 

 pounds. His sire is a flue large dog, named Streatham 

 Flyer, he by Gully the Great out of Daisy. His dam is the 

 well-known Trentham Baroness, a daughter of the well- 

 known bitch Miss Glendyne, now called Attraction, and at 

 present the property of Mr. Mariner, of Milwaukee. He 

 therefore combines the blood of the very best of his breed. 

 Forty-eight winnings have been placed to his credit, and 

 these have beeu won under fifteen judges. Streatham 

 Monarch is two years and two months old, weighs 481bs., 

 and is a most prolific stock getter, two bitches having 

 whelped to him twenty pups, two litters of ten each. 



Mr. Geo. H. Hill writes that the entries for the Blue Grass 

 Kennel Club's inaugural dog show, to be held Sept. 23 26, 

 closed with 461, divided as follows: 13 mastiffs, 28 St. Ber- 

 nards, 4 Newfoundlands, 10 Great Danes, 1 deerhound, 53 

 greyhounds, 6 Russian wolfhounds (Barzois), 34 pointers, 62 

 English setters, 14 Irish setters, 9 Gordon setters, 4 Irish 

 water sjianiels, 2 field spaniels, 4 cocker spaniels, 3 beagles, 

 89 American foxhounds, fi shaggy foxhounds, 5 English fox- 

 hounds, 12 collies, 4 bulldogs, 3 bull-terriers, 1 Scotch ter- 

 rier, 1 Dandie Dinmont terrier, 40 fox-terriers. 14 black and 

 tan terriers, 1 Yorkshire terrier, 38 pugs, 5 Italian grey- 

 ^lounds, 3 Mexican hairless, 13 miscellaneous. This is a 

 splendid shovnng, aijd such a collection of fo^honnds, gi'ey- 



The fox went off like a bolt; the hounds, getting a view, 

 nearly had him going through a fence; but he beat them 

 after all, although they ran him till nearly 8 o'clock. And 

 this is how he did it; Running parallel with the field in 

 which we turned him out was a road; down this he went, 

 then over the fence, then back into the road, over the fence 

 again, and so on, ultimately getting well ahead, and at last 

 got clean away and beat us." 



Some people seem possessed of a mission to treasure up 

 mementoes of celebrated people, but a certain lady of noble 

 birth is original in her method of expressing her hero wor- 

 ship. She managed to despoil Bismarck's favorite dachs- 

 hund of some of his hair which she had set in a gold locket. 

 This reminds one of the struggle to shake the hand of the 

 man that shook the hand of Sullivan. 



"Strange, true and amusing," says the Herald, in an 

 editorial, when "grim visaged war hath smoothed his 

 wrinkled front," he proves to be quite as soft hearted as 

 any member of the peace society. For instance, our war 

 ship Marion was meandering about in the North Pacific a 

 short time ago when a cur dog, who is an irregular member 

 of the crew, succeeded in falling overboard. Nothing on 

 earth is so worthless as a cur dog, except another animal of 

 the same kind, yet there was a general hubbub aboard the 

 Marion when the loss was announced, the vessel was 

 stopped, a lifeboat was lowered, the beast was picked up, 

 and then the vessel proceeded on her course. There was 

 nothing wrong in the incident. It showed what tender- 

 chaps our tars are when no killing is to be done; but it is 

 funny when you think about it." Why ? a dog's a dog for a' 

 that. 



While it is grati fying to be told that of the five suits grow- 

 ing out of the A. K. C. troubles only three concern the club, 

 we are .still of the opinion that, if these suits could not have 

 been avoided in the first place, their early compromise, if 

 practicable, would have promoted the interests of the club 

 and of the kennel world. That they have worked harm, and 

 are working harm to those intei'ests, no well-informed per- 

 son will deny. Of the personal suits we have never assumed 

 to suggest any compromise. 



The National Greyhound Club will submit to all its mem- 

 bers the question whether they desire to have a list of judges. 

 Some of the members have expressed a contrary desire, and 

 in this way the point will be settled. Those who favor the 

 lla^ be aakea to nonjjpf ^6 tJioae f^^ey desire to aet, A. 



member of the club wagered a bottle of wine that we would 

 not receive twenty entries in both States together. In view 

 of the fact that there is S400 in cash and a valuable trophy 

 to be divided into three prizes, I rather expect to see a goodly 

 proportion to fill. Some of the handlers I know mean to do 

 their best. Now for the All- Aged Stake. W^e are going to 

 make that interesting. I am going to take a hand in it my- 

 self. Let us all make some entries, and may the best dog 

 win. G. G. Davis, Sec'y and Treas.
