PEDIGREE OF LORD CLOVER. 



Editor Forest and Sti^emn: 



How is it that none of our kennel papers undertake an 

 analysis of Dr. M. H. Crver's book "The Prize Pugs of 

 America and England"? The reason for this query is that 

 I have been very disagreeablv made aware of the necessity 

 for something of the sort. Dr. Cryer's work seems to be a 

 good deal like the laws of the Medes and Persians. It is re- 

 garded as absolute authority on all that appertains to pugs 

 on this side of the Atlantic. There seems to be a sort of 

 general impression stalking at large that the poor fellow 

 who first opposes the Philadelphia savant is virtually offer- 

 ing himself for a sacrifice between the upper and nether 

 millstones. 



Isow without discussing the plan, trend audgeneral result 

 of the book in its relation to the fancy at large, allow me to 

 go sqiiarely on record as flatly contradicting some of the 

 alleged history it contains. I refer in particular to the 

 schoolboy account of the dog Lord Clover on page 72 of the 

 work, l" do not deny Dr. Cryer the privilege of forming 

 whatever opinion he pleases 'as to the quality and merit 

 or lack of both, in any dog of mine; but when he scatters 

 broadcast a mutilated pedigree and gives me the lie direct 

 on matters concerning ray own kennel, it is time to call a 

 halt. Dr. Cryer states first of all that Chas. M. Chatterton 

 bred Lord Clover, and then very coolly cuts out and elimin- 

 ates valuable blood from his -victim's veins. He denies that 

 Tjord Clover is a grandson of champion Little Dorrit and 

 then places me in the awkward position of one who attempts 

 to foi-ge a pedigree. For I, .sir, as firmly and flatly reiterate 

 that no man named Chatterton bred the dog and no man 

 can show a cloud of any kind on his direct relation to Little 

 Dorrit. I wrote Dr. Cryer four or five mouths ago in rela- 

 tion to this matter, I was then, and have been since, 

 deluged with very unpleasant corresnondeuce, all of it more 

 or less an impeachment based on Dr. Cryer's book. lap- 

 prised the Doctor of his error and furnished bim the facts. 

 As the animal's owner 1 deemed myself entitled to the 

 credit at least of knowing the dog when I see him. It ap- 

 pears 1 am not, for beyond writing a brief note embodying a 

 vague promise to correct errors, the astute historian makes 

 no sign. This was four months ago, and I have come to 

 the conclusion that the nuisance must stop. It is no fault 

 of mine that Dr. Cryer is ignorant of the subject matter 

 which he handles. I decline emphatically to "knuckle 

 under" to blunders. 



I defy Dr. Cryer to successfully impeach the pedigree of 

 Lord Clover as .submitted: Lord Clover, by Loris e,\; Nellie, 

 Loris by Diamond ex Queen Rose, Nellie by Stingo Sniffles 

 ex Little Dorrit. More than that, he cannot know even the 

 rudiments of the pedigrees of the present prize winning pugs 

 in England, and miss acquiring a full knowledge of Gould- 

 ine's Nellie, the dam of Lord Clover. Dr. Cryer professes 

 acquaintance with English show rings and breeder's. Let 

 him write Mr. Houlker, secretary of the Pug Club, owner of 

 Lord Clover's sire. Let him ask Mr. Proctor for a draught 

 of the pedigree of Pitti Sing and champion Confidence;' let 

 him appeal to Mrs. Brittain, Mr. Grariuss, Mr. Hartley, the 

 Red Dicker. Captain Oppeushard, the folks at Cottesmore 

 or at Kirby Lonsdale. They are all reputablefanciers of the 

 breed and "in a position to know the facts. But the Doctor 

 will make no such appeal. His information, or more pro- 

 perly his lack of it, came from no such authoritative source. 

 Any and every one is liable to ei-ror, but in this case that is 

 not the point. Few men have the manhood to acknowledge 

 errors, particularly of the inexcusable blunder stripe, and 

 this seems to be the chief reason why I am forced to kick out 

 of the traces or take ail the mud from the Doctor's heels. 

 This is the situation at present— T affirm that the dog in dis- 

 pute is by Loris ex Nellie, Loris by Diamond ex Queen Rose, 

 Nellie by Stingo Sniffles ex Little'Dorrit. I also affirn that 

 Mr. Goulding, of Leeds, bred Lord Clover, and that Mr. 

 Proctor, also of Leeds, bred his dam. Dr. Cryer cannot pro- 

 duce an iota of reliable testimony against either of these 

 propositions. He wastes time and energy if he ever attempts 

 it. Thos. I. Balla>{TINe. 



Peobia, lU., Sept. 14. 



PETER AND THE CAT. 



THE black and white cat, familiar by sight to thousands 

 who cross the Jersey City ferry as the pet and pride of 

 the ferry house employees, is not as frisky as she was a few 

 nights ago. In fact, she shuffled off this mortal coil at pre- 

 cisely forty-two minutes past 10 o'clock one fateful evening. 



In so doing she was assisted in a lively fashion by a pure 

 white bull- terrier, known as Peter, who had a heated argu- 

 ment with her regarding the propriety of her roosting on 

 his back. Of course, finding that she had taken an unten- 

 able position, she may have choked to death out of sheer 

 vexation: but the weight of impartial evidence seems to be 

 to the effect that Peter's jaws did the business, as he mutely 

 argued his side of the case as well as he knew how. 



To a cold and unsympathetic mind, ignorant of the illus- 

 trious positions occupied by these animals in the canine and 

 feline worlds, the occurrence might appear like an ordinary, 

 everyday scrunching and cat-clawing match. But such is 

 not the fact. The cat in the case was the property of Capt. 

 Robert Bloomsburgh, Superintendent of Perries for the 

 Pennsylvania Railroad, she came to him from foreign 

 parts two years ago as an impoverished emigrant, and was 

 a very wise cat in her day and generation. 



She was also a great traveler, though she took no stock in 

 trips on land. Her fancy was for "the sea, the sea, the open 

 sea." Thrice, when she felt like making a voyage to Europe, 

 she boarded the Rotterdam line of steamers, without any 

 fufss and feathers, and just sailed away, saying good bye to 

 no one. She was so well pleased with Rotterdam that she 

 stayed there eight months on her first visit. Perhaps an 

 absent spouse was the attraction, for she came back with the 

 makings of a litter of kittens on her return from her first 

 absence, and faithfully adhered to the custom thus initiated 

 on each of her subseqtient tours. Whenever she decided to 

 try this country again, she would take passage on a return 

 steamer as unostentatiously as she went away. On her 

 arrival she would seek out Captain Bloomsburgh and 

 "meouw" a greeting to him quite as if she had been out of 

 his sight for onlv a few hours. 



Then she would resume her usual routine of life at the 

 Pennsylvania Depot. But her disposition was such that her 

 life there involved a multiplicity of occupations. Her foreign 

 travel, high living, and the attentions lavished upon her by 

 the many admiring friends she made, had the efl'ect of in- 

 creasing outrageously her innate pride and hauteur. The 

 habit of taking charge of things grew upon her apace, and 

 she became more arrogant and domineering after each trip 

 abroad. She became so proud that she wouldn't look at 

 other cats or associate with them. For want of any other 

 name she was sometimes called "Annex." 



Now it was her pride that went before her destruction 

 and brought about her undignified, not to say ignominious, 

 exit. She not only took to bossing all the other cats that 

 came into the ferry house, but vainly imagined that she 

 could lord it over all of the dogs she saw there as well. For 

 a long time, however, she was successful in the exercise of 

 her tyranny, and many an owner of prize- winning dog flesh 

 has had his soiil vexed with unavailing exasperation to see 

 this domineering puss jump on the back of his pet and 

 scratch, and gouge, and bite, until the harassed beast was 

 forced to beat a howling but timely retreat. 



Peter, her conqueror, was as haughty as Annex, for he 

 was at)ull pup or the pure.st ca,ste. He is the property of 

 Charles J. Peshall. Peter's father waa champion Count, 

 from the Duke of Manchester's J^^xmels, who won 61 first 



prizes and took every one of those offered in his class when- 

 ever he was exhibited in this country. His mother was 

 Peshall's Baby, a high bred terrier which was never shown. 



It was at 10:38 P.M. (official time) that Peter, accompanied 

 by his valet, for so Mr. Peshall styles himself because of his 

 assiduous attention to the dog's vi'elfare, entered the ferry- 

 house from the Jersey City side. With them was his friend 

 Dr. Horning, who knows a thing or two about dogs and has 

 some terriers of his own which may become prize winners 

 some day. 



The trio made their way to the portion of the depot de- 

 voted to the use of passengers who travel on the Brooklyn 

 Annex, and Peshall and his friend seated themselves on one 

 of the benches. There was a large number of people present 

 and many of them admired Peter's compact, muscular, 

 snow-white body and his dignified mien. He sat himself 

 down near the bench and looked about him with stolid com- 

 posure. 



It was at 10:40 P. M. (official time) that a low growl from 

 Peter announced that he disapproved of something. Hi.s 

 watchful valet, owner, guardian and friend looked up and 

 saw the feline boss approaching. 



"Be quiet, Peter," he entreated, and taking the cat in his 

 arms carried her to another bench some distance off. This 

 took but a few seconds, yet during the interval the watch- 

 ful and waiting crowd had become greatly interested in the 

 movement of the two animals. Knowing Peter's quiet dis- 

 position when he is let alone, and feeling a serene confi- 

 dence in his ability to "keep tabs" on the cat, Mr. Peshall 

 entered into conversation with Dr, Hornine. 



For just one Ibrief moment, however, Peshall closed his 

 weather eye, .so "far as the cat was concerned, and winked 

 the other opt.ic. That moment, which came at 10:41)'^ P,M. 

 (official time), was fraught with disaster to Peter and de- 

 struction to Miss Tabby. Just how she sneaked arotmd 

 cmi\ planted her feet on Peter's back with a running jump 

 •seems to lie, as Dundreary used to put it, "one of those 

 things that no fellow can understand." But the fact that 

 she got there with all four feet and began scratching at his 

 eyes was made manifest by a series of yelps and snarls 

 which brought everybody to their feet in an instant. Then 

 the terrier clinched with his adversary. 



"Come off, Peter, come off," shouted his master, as he 

 grabbed his pet by the hindlegs and .swung him and the cat 

 to and fro in the air like an animated censer. 



"Shake him up, Peter, shake him up," responded an en- 

 thusiastic "sport" who saw that the steel trap jaws of the 

 terrier were set tight underneath the cat's forepaws. 



But Peter took the "sport's" advice and attended strictly 

 to business. Notwith.standing the fact that he was heavily 

 handicapped by being waved about in Peshall's hands like a 

 banner, in one-half of a minute, corrected time, the cat 

 found out that she had bitten off more than she could chew, 

 while Peter demon.strated that he had not. Within the 

 same interval of time Captain Bloomsburgh's terror became 

 permanently weary of life. 



When Mr. Peshall saw that the jig was up, he yanked the 

 lifeless cat out of Peter's grasp and proceeded to pummel 

 him for his disobedience. 



"Don't hit him." urged the ".sport," give him another cat. 

 He beats bootjacks and bottles all to pieces." 



"So say we all of us," put in a young man in a thunder 

 and lightning suit. So the whipping was discontinued. 



Peter thoughtfully licked his chops and, though somewhat 

 disfigured, would have been able to attend his adversary's 

 funeral, if he had been invited.

DEATH OF LEONBERG CiESAR.— Minneapolis, Minn. 

 —Editor Forest and- Stream: I wish to record the death 

 of the Leonberg dog Ctssar, who was killed bj' an electric 

 car in tnis city, .luly 13, 1891. Csesar was the only son of 

 Monarch, the winner of one first and three special prizes at 

 the St. Paul dog show of 1887, also of 1888, these being the 

 only dog shows he was ever exhibited at. Monarch was 

 sired by the celebrated dog Sultan, whose arrival in this 

 country was mentioned by Forest and Stream .luly -SI, 

 1879. Both Monarch and Ca?.sar were bred from Mr. S. L. 

 M. Barlow's imported bitches Thekla and Minca, at Glen 

 Cove, L. I. All of these dogs will be remembered by theater- 

 goers for their wonderful performances in such plays as 

 "The Dogs of the Forest," "The Danites," etc., etc.; Sultan 

 being the only dog that ever had the honor of being an 

 attraction at Booth's Theater, New York, where he was a 

 feature for six weeks in 1881. All were mammoth dogs and 

 remarkable specimens of their breed, Monarch standing 

 35in, at the shoulders, beating Sir Charles at St. Paul, 

 Minn., who, up to that time, had taken several prizes as the 

 largest dog exhibited. At the time of his death C^sar was 

 the property of Mr, J, H. Mochell, of Minneapolis.— W. E.

BREEDERS' STAKE FOR MASTIFFS.— Port Huron, 

 Mich., Oct. i.— Editor Forest and Stream: There is quite 

 a .strong movement afoot to make a breeders' stake for ma.s- 

 tiffs whelped in 1891 to be shown at Chicago at the World's 

 Pair in 1893, It is just what is wanted, and no doubt will 

 find favor at the hands of our mastiff men. The object, I 

 understand, is to develop the mastiff and to keep him be- 

 fore the public. It is a well known fact that they have not 

 had the interest taken in them that they should have in the 

 past few years. A good-sized stake would cause some of 

 them to look around their kennels and find out what dogs 

 they could breed to and get a winner. It is proposed to 

 make the stake in payments, in 10 per cent, payments, Jan. 

 1, 1893. July 1, 1892, Jan. 1, 1893, and the balance of the 

 amount on naming the dog or bitch to be shown. This, I 

 think, should add interest in the breeding of a better class 

 of mastiffs and no doubt would well pay the winner of the 

 stake for his trouble.— J As, J. Lykis, 



DEATH OP THE COCKER FLOSSIE,— Newtonville, 

 Mass.— Editor Forest and Stream: 1 have lost my valuable 

 liver and white cocker spaniel bitch Flossie (Col, Stubbs — 

 Pet), She was run over and killed by an express train of 

 the B. & A, R, R., Tuesday night, Sept. 39. She was con- 

 sidered one of the best liver and white cockers iu this part 

 of the country. She had many friends and not a single 

 enemy. Was' a grand little worker on woodcock, partridges 

 and ducks. She was in whelp to C, G. Browning's Cherry 

 Boy. I never expect to own her like again. Stie was my 

 coristant companion, — Geo, L. V, Tyler. 



A LARGE PUP.— Sullivan, 111.— As a subscriber to the 

 Forest and Stream would like to submit a description of 

 a St. Bernard pup I possess, which seems exceptionally large 

 for its age. He was ten months old on Sept. 4, measures just 

 6ft. long, stands 'd2%m. high and, although very thin, weighs 

 l-SHlbs. He is one of a first litter, and while he is said to be 

 a full-blooded St. Bernard, he is off-color, being a rich brown. 

 White markings very good and has a fine head and limbs. 

 He was sired by Monte,— GtJY Hollingsworth,

ANSWERS TO CORRESPONDENTS. 



'Ilieie is no cliamv tor (ttisirwing questions under this head. jAll 

 quisliom reldlinij to aliments of dogs tvill he answered hy Dr. T, 6, 

 ^'/le^■l(;oort. a rnemher of the Royal College of Veterinary Surgeons. 

 Communwations referring to otiter matters connected with Kennel 

 Manngcmcnt and dogs will reeeive careful attentton. 



W. M., Hyattville, O,— Two of a Utter nf six pointer pupa, aged 

 five weeks, have scabs on thfiir sides and back. Very thick scabs, 

 and matter is very white. Do not seem to run any, I believe the 

 old bitch is. troubled a little witb eczema. What shall I do for it? 

 Ans. Apply a little broacic ointment to the scabs twice a day. 



J, D. B., Mount Morris, N. Y.— 1 have a fine young pointer dog 

 which is poor and food does not seem to benefit him. To my cer- 

 tain knowledge he has a tapeworm, I having seen two or three 

 feet of it. Ans. Give the dog, after 18 hours' fasting, worm pills 

 or powders as advei'tised in POBEST AND Stueam, accompanying 

 which are full directions. Repeat tli« dose in a week. Feed the 

 dog on cod liver oil cake, meat, etc. Cakes can be procured from 

 Spratts Co. 



S. C, Woodbridge, N. J.— Will you please inform me whether 

 dogs ever shed their teeth and if ttiere is any cure for a disease 

 of the gums that my dog hap, causing bim to have a very offen- 

 sive breath. My dog is a small house dog, 8yrs, old, very intelii- 

 gent and on account of his doinsr many tricks has been fed too 

 much rich cake, candy, etc, which I think ruined bis teeth, Ans. 

 Your dog has an accumulation of tartar on the teeth, which 

 causes the gums to recede, and thus the teeth become gradually 

 loosened and fall out. The tartar also causes ulceration of the 

 gums. Ttie teeth must be scaled and all very loose ones re- 

 moved. 



J, W. H., Newburgh. N. Y.— How can I cure a dog of fits? I 

 have a fine pointer bitch, and I am having her broke. The man 

 that is breaking ber tells me that after having her out for a wnile 

 she takes one of these fits, when she frottis at the mouth and her 

 eyes almost start out of her bead, for about ten minutes. Then 

 she partly recovers and starts to run away, and don't aeem to 

 know her trainer tor a minute or two. She has bad seven fits 

 already. Ans. First treat for worms and then give the following 

 mixture: Bromide of soda 3drs., liq. arsenical is 1 dr.. water Boz. 

 Give one dessertspoonful three times a day. The dog ought to be 

 kept in a quiet place and only allowed a little exercise for the 

 present. It must not be excited in any way. See also that the 

 bowels are regular. 



W. W. W„ Providence, R, I.— My bull-terrier puppy which you 

 prescribed for in your issue of Aug. 20. although somewhat im- 

 proved is still in a terrible condition. Two weeks ago she was one 

 mass of sores running pus, murus and blood. Her left side which 

 was contiguously affected all over has partially healed up. and 

 apparently is improving dailv, but is still in a very bad shape, 

 especially about her head. When these sores first break out, the 

 blood coming from the same coagulates and forms a crust as brit- 

 tle and black as coal. As fast as I heal them they appear in other 

 places, and have been and are now affected all over her entire 

 body. Including head. If gs and tail. On various parts of her body, 

 within a few days past, have appeared a number of swellings, 

 varying in size from a dime to a quarter dollar piece, containing 

 nothing but blood. She has lost entirely aU of her hair, and her 

 skin is still a bright red, and at times very feverish. He'>' stools 

 are black as ink, and the odor therefrom extremely offen.slve. 

 Appetite is good, and is as active as can be expected under her 

 present condition. Please advise if I shall continue same treat- 

 ment as prescribed. What is her disease ? Is it eczema or mange, 

 or both ? Am very sorry to trouble you again, but have no con- 

 fidence in the vet. who I called in to see this puppy. His advice 

 to "knock her in the head" did not meet witb my views, neither 

 did his diagnosis ot her disease, or the treatment prescribed by 

 him, inspire me with suflBcient confidence to allow him to proceed 

 with the ease. If time, patience and money can cure this puppy. 

 I am readj' to use the same freely, but "knock her in the head" 

 never. Ans. From your intelligent description the bull-terrier 

 must be suffering from follicular mange, but without an examin- 

 ation this cannot be determined. Mange is a most intractable 

 disease and very difHcult to cure, taking a long time, about six 

 months, to do so. Apply tiie following ointment all over every 

 other day, and to the sores dally: Naptbol beta, S ounces; lard, 20 

 ounce.''; powdered boracic acid, 4 ounces; oxide of zinc, 3 ounces. 

 The napthol must be dissolved in lard first by the aid of heat, then 

 add the other ingredients and mix till cold. Give the following 

 twice a day in a pill: Sulphide of calcium, 1 grain. Also wash 

 the dog occasionally in a solution of sulphide of potash (liver of 

 sidphur); two ounces to a gallon of warm water.
