Teotjt and Ouanaotche.— One of the handsomest dis- 

 plays of trout and ouananiche (winninish) ever seen in 

 this city is now on exhibition at Wm. Mills & Sons, 7 

 Warren street. These fish are among the largest that 

 were taken by Messrs. Chas. A. Bryan, Jas. Rice. Jr., D. 

 N. Coats, Lody Smith and D. Willis James, Jr.', mem- 

 bers of the Springfield Fishing and Game Club, while at 

 the club's newly opened paradise for sportsmen on Lake 

 Amabelish, Canada, during the two last weeks in June 

 of this year. The specimens of brook trout are certainly 

 beautiful and range from 4lbs. to 6lbs. in weight, and of 

 the ouananiche (famous landlocked salmon from the 

 Lake St. John region) equally fine examples from 31bs. to 

 4jlb9. in weight. 



A Large Black Bass.— Richmond, Ind., Oct. 19.— In- 

 closed find outline dimensions of a bass caught in Cedar 

 Lake, Starke county, Ind., Aug. 10,1891. Although it 

 was in "dog days," when no sensible fish would so far 

 demean himself as to be inveigled, yet he was a willing 

 victim to a dancing frog at the end of a line. When 

 taken from the water he weighed 71bs. 2oz. bv steelyards. 

 I have him nicely mounted and suspended in my office. 

 — W. T. Denjsiis, Fish Commissioner. [The outline re- 

 ferred to represents the fish to have been 6in. deep and 

 22m. long. The weight brings it close to the limit of size 

 in northern waters, and makes it a splendid trophy of 

 angling skill.] ^ 



COLORADO TROUT AND WHITEFISH. 



COLORADO with its .six thousand miles of streams and 

 its numerous beautiful lakes, is one of the very best 

 fields for the artificial propagation of fish in this country 

 It may truthfully be said that nearly all of the wa^^ers of the 

 Centennial State are the home of the black-spotted trout, 

 which is indigenous, and many thou.sauds of rainbow trout 

 and Ela-stern brook trout have within the past few years been 

 liberated, and are shining in several of the mountain 

 streams and lakes. The most beautiiul, and probably the 

 largest specimens, of the black-spotted trou C, are to be found 

 m the Gunnison River, in the vicinity of the Black Catton, 

 where it is not an uncommon thing for a good angler to take 

 them weighing as much as 3!bs. each. 



The native trout are preferred to either the rainbow or 

 speckled brook trout by many of the veteran anglers of 

 Colorado, among whom Senator Teller probably is the 

 most prominent and best known. Another very good fish 

 usually known as the Rocky Mountain whiteflsh (Core- 

 gonm 'WilUamsoni) is found, I believe, only on the western 

 slope of the Rocky Mountains in Colorado, notably in the 

 White River. It reaches a length of a little more than a 

 foot, and a weight of about lib. It spawns in October and 

 November, entering the small tributaries for this purpose. 

 Judge France of Denver, the well-known writer and angler, 

 is a great admirer of this little fish, and speaks kindly of it 

 in his delightful book recently published, "Mr. Dide, his 

 Vacation in Colorado," as follows: 



"These whitetish were the first we had taken, although 

 they are quite plentiful in the stream, (White River) and 

 are sometimes an a.nnoyance to those who are seeking trout 

 only. Why they should be a source of vexation to any one 

 is a mystery. The fish is beautiful in contour, more .slender 

 than the trout, has a delicate mouth, rises eagerly to the 

 fiy, and its mcHt is delicious. Break a Brazil nut in two, 

 and the firm white kernel will remind you of the meat of 

 the whiteflsh when it has been properly cooked. They are 

 good fighters withal, though they do not break water when 

 hooked as readily as the trout. To my mind the complaints 

 have in them .soaiewhat of affection, unless one is indulging 

 solely in the science of angling." 



As will be seen, Judge France has quite a weakness for the 

 whiteflsh, and I understand is taking steps toward intro- 

 ducing them in some of the waters nearer Denver. This is 

 an excellent move, and the artificial propagation and dis- 

 tribution of the mountain whiteflsh would be well worth 

 trying. JoHK GAT.

HUDSON RIVER SALMON PLANTING.— Mr. A. N. 

 Cheney has selected a stream in Vermont (one of the head- 

 waters of the Hudson) to receive a planting of 5,000 yearling 

 salmon by the United States Fish Commission. It is Green 

 River, a tributary of the Pattenkill, at a point near the vil- 

 lage of Arlington, miles from the line between Vermont 

 and New York.

COURSING. 



Nov. 10.— International Coursing Club's Meeting, at Merced, Cal. 



THE AMERICAN COURSING CLUB MEET. 



(^■\ REAT BEND, Kas., Oct. 19.— Tbe man with tbe dog 

 \ J that can catch every rabbit that jumps up is here, and 

 the dog, as usual, is in the shed just "arouurl the corner of 

 the Morrison House. The man who is .going to have justice 

 or knock tbe props out from under heaven, is also here. The 

 man with the long slender greyhound with four toes off is 

 here, and so also is the man with tlie condensed and portable 

 greyhound whicb has lost a set of ribs in a barbed wire 

 fence. Likewise we have with us tbe gentleman whose 

 phenomenon was unforttmate enough to meet physical dis- 

 liguremeut ju.st before entering in upon an easy course of 

 glory, nor is he absent whose dogs are not in condition, but 

 could win the whole shooting match if they were. Dogs of 

 haughty lineage and inerown toe nails mingle with the 

 plain blue cooking dog with no coronet but a kind heart. 

 Then there .are dogs which are fit, which are in condition, 

 which are greyhounds, noble ones, the pick of America's 

 possessions, no doubt. These iu quantity and qualitv surpass 

 those of any previous year. From San Francisco, from 

 .Maine, front Colorado, from Illinois, from all over Kansas, 

 these contributions to the fame of the American Coursing 

 Club have come and it is a pleasure to see so good a lot to- 

 gether in this old accustomed rendezvous. Tbe dogs as a 

 class improve yearly. The tnen stay about the same. The 

 horses degenerate. There are horses here which have been 

 ntiTsed tenderly into an old age far beyond tbe natural term, 

 simply for the pirrpose of hiring them out during the cour- 

 .singmeet. The most genuine enthusiast in coursing is a 

 Great Bend liveryman. He fosters the sport at about five 

 dollars a foster. 



In past years the desire of the American Cour.9ing Club 

 was to intei'est the California men and to get some Califor- 

 nia dogs here. The little visit of some of the club members 

 to the Merced meet last fall has borne good fruit, and now 

 for the flr.?t time we have a Coast contingent. The judge of 

 the meet, Mr. John Grace, reputed to be the best practical 

 field judge of greyhounds in the West, comes from San 

 Francisco, thanks to the wise action of the executive, Mr, 

 Cronin, a wealthy Frisco man, sends on two good ooes, 

 Kathleen and Chicopee Uass, the latter runner-up to Sam 

 Nash in the Merced meet. .J. J. Ed wards handles these dogs 

 and nominates them, as also one of his own. Walnut, of un- 

 known parentage, but bred on Haggin's great ranch in Cali- 

 fornia and of alleged good blood. P., P. Canavau bandies for 

 Mr. Chas. S. Wieland, another liberal San Franciscan, three 

 dogs — Examiner, entered in the All-Age, and two puppies, 

 entered here as Morning Call and Chronicle, though one of 

 these was run at Merced, I hear, as Charlie Wieland. 



From his farm at Poland, Me., Mr. N. Q. Pope, of Brook- 

 lyn. N. Y., sends out by his handler, McGregor, a pair for 

 the All-Age, Highland Warrior and Old Stoiae. The latter 

 is said to be imported. He is a fine-looking brindle and 

 white, reported never to have seen a jack. He is very eager 

 of appearance and wonld be poptilar if fit. He is said to 

 have had 25 miles a day for three months, but this cannot 

 possibly be true, as lie is not specially hard. 



Denver sends down Dr. Johnst. Gower with Baronet and 

 Queen Belle, and Mr. T. W. Bartels with Pearl of Pekin, 

 Monk Bishop and Irish Lass. Of these Pearl of Pekin 

 should do as well or better than any. 



Mr. Alfred Haigh sends out Master Glendyne, a Trales 

 dog, from Cable, 111, and Mr. J"ohn Russell, of the same 

 place, has along the old black Cable bitch Bar Maid. 



Mr. C. G. Page, now of Chicago, has no dog along, but 

 nominates two of iVlr. Lowe's exhaustless Lawrence Kennel. 



Emporia, Kansas, has iu only two entries, Dr. Foncannon 

 nominating Brilliant and Salvator. 



The Lawrence contingent is exceptionally strong, socially 

 and caninely speaking. Mr. H. C. Lowe has located his 

 breeding kennels there for some time past, and I understand 

 that some of the Lawrence gentlemen present have interest 

 in a few of his breeding. Mr. Frank L. Webster, a bright 

 journalist of Lawrence, and his friends, Messrs. S. T. Field 

 S. C. and J. P. Usher, W. L. Bullene, H W. Hayne and r! 

 C. Moody, are all on from Lawrence. The string of Law- 

 rence dogs, Including Master Peter, Liberty and Lancashire 

 Lass, which ran last year, is a Que one. Lady of Fashion is 

 as stylish and attractive a hound as ever was seen here. She is 

 by Lord Neversettle— Partera, as is also Comedy and Master 

 Neversettle. Prince Charlie is by the same dog out of White 

 Lips, tbe old-time favorite here. 



Mr. Luse, of Great Bend, has the black freak Lady in 

 Black, the scarcely less freaksome Lady Barton, his good 

 wolf-dog Lanaradzo, the winner Lord McPherson, and the 

 brindle bitch Little Thought Of, some of which will be re- 

 membered as very close to the tail gate of the runnings last 

 year. Mr. Luse is quite a stand-by of the club, and his 

 enthusiasm is not purely selfish . This year the winner of 

 the All- Age will have cause to remember Mr, Luse very 

 heartily, for that gentleman has offered to the greyhound 

 earning that place a fine trophy, the Luse Silver Cup. 

 Terms, winning must be by same kennel two years in suc- 

 cession to own, stake to be run down absolutely. This hand- 

 some trophy will add greater interest to the chief greyhound 

 event of America. 



Much valued is the presence of Mr. J. Herbert Watson, of 

 New York, a gentleman not apparently of vaulting am- 

 bition, but who has vaulted high none the less in esteem of 

 the club within one easy year."" Mr. Watson brings only a 

 dog, a Greentick puppy, Royal Crest, and this one he had 

 the misfortune to see badly cut on a barbed wire yesterday, 

 the scalp having to be sewed up for some inches. Mr. Wat- 

 son, as the emissary of the National Greyhouod Club, brings 

 yet another cup. a tasty silver one, for the absolute winner 

 in the Puppy Stakes. A still furtaer fraternal gift irom 

 the generous Eastern organization is a silver medal, not yet 

 completed, to go to the winner of the All -Age. 



Messrs Price and Royce, of Topeka, who now own about 

 all of Mr. Allison's o.d Trdles stjck, and some new dogs 

 also, have on a good line of Glendyaes and Trales. Oth'i r 

 dogs, some of interesr, make up the most notable collection 

 that <-ver graced the Cbey^nne Flats. 



The usual preli minary business meeting washeld to-night, 

 Vice-President Watson in the chair, Mr. Heizer absent. On 

 motion the secretary declared elected T;inanimou8ly to mem- 



bership. Dr. John Gower, of Denver; Mr. Chas. Wieland, of 

 San Francisco; Messrs. .J. P. Usher, Jr., S. C. Usher. Frank 

 Webster and S. T. Field, of Lawrence, and Mr. N. Q. Pope, 

 \t Brooklyn, N. Y. Tbere were elected honorary members 

 Mr. John Grace, J. J. Edmonds and P. F. Canavan, of San 

 Francisco, and Mr. B. Hayman, of St. Louis. The National 

 Greyhound Club rules were adopted, barring the registra- 

 tion clause for this year. iVlessrs. C. Gr. Page, A. C. Scber- 

 merhorn and Ira D. Brougher were appointed field mar- 

 shals. Mr. Brougher has made a good club secretary the 

 past year. Tbe old reliable Arthur Ma.ssey is again to act 

 as slipper. The drawing of the dogs began nearly at mid- 

 night. It was found that 46 entries were made in the All- 

 Age, 38 being the largest previous entry. There were 22 

 entries for the Great Bend Derby or puppy stakes. 



The running will be as formerly, on the' old Carney ranch, 

 but it will not be the same old place. If it is good to be 

 missed, Mr. Carney should be happy in his present home in 

 Portland, Oregon, for there is simply a lament that he is 

 not here. The ranch house stands silent and smokeless on 

 the hill. There isn't going to be any annual press dinner 

 this year, and Louise and the Shetland pony will not be in 

 line. 



Tuesday, First Day, Oct. 20. 

 The day was fair and warm. The line started from the 

 club house at 10:1.5. The Cheyenne bottoms are wet this fall 

 and the grass is high. A long walk was had before a hare 

 was started. The brace down in the first round of the All- 

 Aged Stake was 



BELLE— QUEEIir, 



a good slip. Queen did it all in speed and the little work. 

 Belle tripped to no merit. Queen killed in air and won. 



LADY ALICE— BLACK BESS. 



On a long lead-up. Lady Alice was the better, and also 

 turned and killed. Bess was gaining, but too late. Lady 

 Alice won. 



TKOUPE— MASTER PETEE. 



One hare unsighted. The walk was long. Master Peter 

 became bad in the slips, sulking, and the brace was taken 

 up, temporarily. 



PKINCE CHABLIE— FLEETFOOT. 



Fleetfoot was keener th-m Charlie, and dragged him, 

 Charley not at all cleverly broken to slips. One hare was 

 unsighted. The party took lunch. 



TROTTPE— MASTER PETEPv. 



These now got a good slip on a fine hare, well sighted. 

 Master Peter forgot his slouching, sulky gait, and showed 

 great quality, running up, doing all the work, and a lot of 

 it, c[uite alone, and Iciiling after a hot course. Troupe was 

 pointless. Ma.ster Peter won. 



PRINCE CHARLIE— FLEETFOOT. 



These got a good course. Charlie led and did the work for 

 a quarter of a mile, placing Fleetfoot, which scored and 

 killed, but too soon. Prince Charlie won. 



BARONET— LADY OF FASHION. 



Lady bad all the superiority in the run up to a demon hare 

 on the short grass. The hare led for the hiUs, and though 

 Lady drew clos-, little work was done. No kill. A cour.~-e 

 of over a mile. The judge spoke well of Lady. Baronet 

 was pointless. Lady of Fashion won. 



LADY ILIFF GLENDYNE— WILL-O'-THE-WISP. 



The beating was now on the short grass near the bluff by 

 the old red barn. Here Mr. Carney had planted all his 

 phantom jacks, marked and guaranteed. Ever and anon 

 one with a brass ring in its nose and a blue smoke wreath in 

 its rear arose and flitted for the bills. Mr. Grace said these 

 were faster than any hares he had seen in California, and 

 some of them he did not think could be caught by any two 

 living greyhounds. This pair, however, killed a hare not 

 quite so good as the best. Will-o'-the-Wisp shot in ahead 

 and scored for a half mile. Lady drew by and was rapidly 

 cutting down the lead, but killed too soon. A pretty course. 

 Will-o'-the-Wisp won. 



QUEEN BELLE— BAR MAID. 



Maid went up, and went wide on a squat, but regained 

 well. Queen got possession, but there was exchanging, 

 after a little of which Bar Maid began a series of exhibi- 

 tions of the most flagrant sorts of running cunning. Queen, 

 none too fast, was honester and killed. Queen Belle won. 

 LANARADZO- VAN RICHARD. 



Lanaradzo ran up, but lost to Richard. A bruising course 

 to the hills, three-quarters of a mile. Van Richard won. 



COMEDY— BRILLIANT. 

 Comedy, very fast from slips, got the run-up and two 

 points ahead of Brilliant bpfore the tremendous hare started 

 the procession for the hills. Little work done then and no 

 kill. Comedy won. 



MONK BISHOP— CHICOPEE LASS. 



Lass led up, very quick and clever, with plenty of work 

 for 300yds., Monk helping very much. Lass worked the 

 closer and killed. She is a very eager and clever worker, 

 though not guaranteed to stay. "This was the neatest 

 course of the day. Chicopee Lass won. 



LORD MCPHERSON— LADY R. 



McPherson led up, and at 300yds. turned and held second 

 place in the procession, the hare a veiy good first. Lady 

 was placed , but fell out of it. Lord McPherson won. 



PEARL OF PEKIN— BABAZOtTN. 



Two hares sprang, and a bad sight. Babazoun, much 

 favored In the sight, ran up, but went wide and placed 

 Pearl. They exchanged. Babazoun fell heavily, Pearl ap- 

 pearing then in the lead. Babazoun drew in, but later Pearl 

 gave him a go-by, and worked the closer to the end of a 

 three-quarter mile coui'se. The kill was in a gully and un- 

 seen. Pearl of Pekin won. 



VERDURE CLAD— LANCASHIRE LASS. 



A very fast jack. Verdure led up and scored distinctly. 

 Lancashire Lass showed ahead ss the hare straightened for 

 the hills, but did no scoring. Verdure drew by later, the 

 Lass not running strong, but showing less determination 

 than was expected, as she is usually so good. Verdure Clad 



on. 



Dolly and Lady in Black went in, but found no hare. 

 The runnings for the dav were declared ended. At this 

 time it does not seem possible to finish the running of both 

 stakes Tvithln the week. 



Wednesday, Second Day, Oct. 21. 

 The line left the club house at 10 A. M. The weather was 

 verj pleasant. A crowd of 1,000 or more, very unruly toward 

 evening, impeded the sport to some extent. The hares were 

 found in good numbers in the a ternoon on the grazed 

 ground near the hills. Seventeen courses were decided, the 

 Puppy Stakes being nearly finished for the first series. The 

 sport, as sport purely, was good. The best display of coursing 

 ever seen here tor evenness and pluck was shown by Dolly 

 and Lady in Black, la the All-Age. The fl lest individual 

 performance ever seen here was that of the puppy Royal 

 Crest 



Ktxnning was continued in the first mund of the All-Age: 



DOLLY— LADY IN BLACK. 

 Lady passed when they straightened after an imperfect 

 sight, and was faster to the first turn, also wrenching. Dolly 

 seemed to gather speed, and when placed held to a turn. Go- 

 by a.nd trading of point?- follp wed t'9r each dog npw, Dolly
