had pulled up and was floating on top. That was his 

 game. Either the dead alders or the grass; and the last 

 time he tried it he started the prass and it pulled up. The 

 guide sent the boat into deep water, and five minutes 

 later slipped the net under him, and it lay on the bottom 

 with not a kick left in him, Hia mouth backed up the 

 old guide's story of bis many fights, and I was more 

 pleased to get him than I would have been any other fish 

 m the stream. He was the handsomest fish 1 ever saw, 

 both in color and shape, and that is saying a good deal. 

 His weight I do not know, but he measured 7in. around 

 the thickest part. 



The "shang" diggers had the head of a pickerel on a 

 post near their camp which, when a whole fish, weighed 

 IGlbs,, and the young men who came in with me caught 

 as many as they cou Id carry out from one of the lakes, 

 Every person I saw at Johnson's caught trout a plenty, 

 and some who came early caught enormous strings. All 

 the waters about are clear and particularly cold. Here 

 there is a good place to go for good fishing, good food, 

 good beds and good water, good fellows and a gnod time. 

 Go with a party of four; reach Ellis Junction Tups^lay, 

 Wagon runs that day and no other. Pink Edge,

I CAUGHT fl string of beauMes 

 Up on the Nortli Fork to-day, 

 Tbf tinest trout, that wpre e'er pulled out — 

 But, the Biggest One Got Away 1 



And down in the mill-pond meadow, 



Tlie boys that were makine hsy, 

 Wnii forks and rakes killed 3 000 snakes— 



But tHe Biggest One Gjt Awaj ! 



And so I have heard of liars 



Since Ananias's daj; 

 There are just a few that receive their due— 



But the Biggest One Gets Away!

THE TENCH IN MISSOURI. 



THE tench is a European fish, and one of the best of the 

 carp family, to which it belongs. To the angler it is 

 well and favorably known, being possessed of gamequalities 

 and firm flesh of excellent flavor. In Europe it Decomes 

 torpid in winter and ceases to feed. The species is verj' 

 prolific, a female containing 297, 0(X) eggs being recorded. 

 The eggs are small and of a greenish color. In 1877 the Fish 

 Commission imported several varieties of tench from Europe 

 — the king or Hungarian, the common and the gold tench. 

 These were kepi; in Driiid Hill Park, Baltimore. In the 

 spring of 188S a few tench were brought to the C-irp Ponds 

 in Washington. The growth of the fish has never been 

 satisfactory, and no impression was made upon the waters 

 to which they were introduced. Late in December, 1889, 

 Commis.sioner McDonald .sent twenty-three tench ranging 

 from 3 to lOin. in length to the recently e.'?tablishecl Neosho 

 Station in Missouri. Here they were placed in a pond and 

 were not seen agaia until the middle of the following April, 

 although the water was clear nearly all the time. On May 

 a, 1890, a female spawned, but the eggs were not discovered 

 and the yoitng fish were not seen until long after hatching. 

 In the winter of 1890 9i the brood stock continued active, 

 and at spawning time in the spring of 1891 they were very 

 healthy. At the present time Supeiintendfnt PMge has 

 35,000 ttngerling tench awaiting the fall distribution— the 

 first tin qualified success with the fish 'since its importation. 

 The warm, clenr waters of southwestern Missouri have fur- 

 nished the conditions eminently suitable for the tench, and 

 the region will profit by the introduction of a valuable and 

 extremely hardy food fish. 



CALIFORNIA SALMON^ HATCHING.— At the Baird 

 station the fishing and egg-collecting from the first run of 

 fish continued until Sept, 20, and nearly .3,000,000 eggs were 

 , secured. The rua was several days shorter than usual. The 

 eggs were remarkably large and healthy, and the loss in 

 handling was much smaller than heretofore. The first lot 

 was shipped to the California State hatchery at Sisson.Sept. 

 39. The State co8perates with the United States Commis- 

 sion in developing eggs and distributing the fry in its own 

 waters.

PHILADELPHIA WITHDRAWS. 



Editor Forest and Stream: 



As the withdrawal of tne Philadelphia Kennel Club from 

 the American Kennel Club will no doubt be the subject of 

 discussion by the sporting pnpers and among dog men gener- 

 ally, it is not inappropriate that I, as president of the club 

 and as the one who prompted this action, should give some 

 of the causes which impelled us to this separation. I have 

 always appreciated the almost unlimited field of usefulness 

 of an institution such as the American Kennel Club ot/f/Tit 

 to be, but when I saw, as I have seen, and as every one who 

 has read the sporting press must have seen, that the club 

 was being run not for the interest of the dog but for those of 

 a few men who live in New York city or near thereto, I 

 became satisfied that this sor iirty which had been conceived 

 in good for the dog had resulted in the injury of the cause. 



The American Kennel Club should be governed by the 

 delegates from the several clubs which compose it, and each 

 delegate should in its deliberations have an equal voice with 

 anotner, and when our delegate informs us that not only 

 once or twice, but time and again that bis voice is never 

 heard, and that all of the proceedings of that organization 

 are "cut and dried" before the meetings, I think every man 

 of sense will agree with me that a proper respect lor our 

 club and for ourselves justifies us in refusing to send such 

 delegates to such meetings. This ''cut and dried" business 

 has been a cause of complaint for a long time, and when the 

 A.K.t'., or rather the ''cliqtae" that runs it, deliberately laid 

 upon the labl , without a rea. son, a report of a comriiittee 

 favoring the recognition of our field trials, forbearance ceased 

 to be a virtue, and I brought it to the attention of the club 

 with the result mentioned. 



I don't complain about the rffusal of the A. K. C. to re- 

 cognize our trials, but to the "manner" in which such re- 

 fusal was made. 



I think that I can truthfully say that the Philadelphia 

 Kennel Club has done as much as any other for the develop- 

 ment of the dog, and when a committee of the A. K. C. 

 favorably reported the recognition of our trials it would 

 have been at best scant courtesy for the A, K. C, or rather 

 the "clique," to give the reasons for their action. 1 know 

 of no law to compel them to give reasons, nor do I know of 

 any which compels self-respecting men to be humiliated by 

 men whose chief and only aim seems to be to fight a few 

 members who have dared to question their methods 



The Peshall business has been simply disgusting, and 

 should have been ended long ago, but with that we have 

 nothing to do, except to suffer with others the humiliation 

 that such a matter inflicts. I mention this as one of the 

 many things that have disgusted our members and have 

 compelled us to take the course we have taken. 



What the dog men of this country need is an American 

 kennel club (not a "clique" organization), wherein each club 

 shall have equal voice and in which the only object shall be 

 the development of the dog and not the personal ambitions 

 or passions of the officers. 1 could give many other reasons 

 for the action of our club, but the gist of them all is that 

 the American Kennel Club has ceased to represent the 

 several kennel clubs of which it is composed, and has out- 

 lived its day of usefulness, and we have nothing to gain and 

 all to lose bv connection therewith under its present man- 

 agement; and that by its unmanly action toward the report 

 of its committee rcogni zing our field trials and its continued 

 disregard of our delegate it has forfeited our respect. We 

 have not taken this course with any degree ot pleasure, I 

 can assure you. We have been driven to it, and I express 

 the .sentiments of our members when I say that if the A. K. 

 C. will so conduct itself as to fulfil its mission and will 

 select for its officers men who will do their full duty we will 

 be only too glad to renew our association with them, 



Francis S. Browts". 



Philadelphia, Oct. 15. 



NATIONAL BEAGLE TRIALS.-Nanuet, N. Y.-Editor 

 Forest and Stream: It has been intimated to me that cer- 

 tain members have expressed themselves as belie-vdng that 

 my dogs would have an advantage in the coming trials, for 

 the reason that they w^re being worked over the trial courses. 

 For the benefit and information of such members I will say 

 th=tt their impression is entirely erroneous. Nanuet is com- 

 pletely surrounded with the most excellent hunting grounds 

 for rabbits, in fact so much so, that the folly of belitving my 

 dogs would have any advantage will, I think, be %^ery clearly- 

 demonstrated on the ground in November, much better than 

 I can do it on paper in October. Notwithstanding this, I 

 have given posi ive instructions to my trainer to absolutely 

 av id certain districts which are adj icent and particularly 

 well adapted lor the trials. This verv point that is now 

 raised was one of the mo.=t prominent objections that I real- 

 ized in sugge.=;ting Nanuet as a suitable place for the trials. 

 While I presume the advantages to myself referred to were 

 the most natural inferences with those unfamiliar with the 

 .situation, I feel called upon to make this statement in the 

 iuterest of true sport ftod good fellowsbip.— H. L. Kbki-dek,
