spectators. Dogs taken up at 10:23. In speed, range and 

 style Snipe was superior to Lass. 



Kit Cabson— Ward's Spot.— E. K. Sperry's blue helton 

 English setter dog Kit Carson, handled by L. A. Pearle, 

 and Matt Ward's black, white and tan Eoglish setter dog 

 Ward's Spot (Gloster II. — Ward's Mada), handled by T. M. 

 Aldricb, were cast off at 10:45, near Market Garden. After 

 hunting thirty minutes Kit tlushed a bevy on side of the 

 road. Moving on Spot nailed a single; Kit refused to back; 

 Aldricb flnshed. shot and missed; both dogs steady to shot 

 and wing. Spot again pointed. While waiting for Kit to 

 come up and back the bird flushed. Dogs tajkeu up at 11:40. 

 Kit under best control. 



Rob's Whim— Miss Monaech.— After lunch a . start was 

 made at Assonet Neck, called the Quaker place. Whim 

 bandied by Waterhouse, Monarch by Aldricb, were ca.st off 

 at 1:55 in a swale covered with brush. Monarch found and 

 flushed a bevy. Moving a short di.stance Whim pointed a 

 single; backed by Monarch; Waterhouse flushed, shot and 

 killed; dogs steady; bird retrieved by Whim. WhiiB again 



Eointed, backed by Monarch. Waterhouse shot and killed; 

 ird retrieved by Monarch. Soon Whim got another point; 

 bird Hushed by Waterhouse. Dogs ordered up at 3:2.3. This 

 was the best" heat seen so far, both dogs doing- snme good 

 work. Harry Tallman had a chance to snap his Kodak on 

 them a number of times. 



Nahmke Philip— Snipe.— JSTahmke Philip, handled by 

 Aldricb, and Snipe, handled by Ellis, were cast off at 3:43 in 

 an open field. This was a long, tiresome beat. After hunt- 

 ing large stubble fields, meadows, peach orchards, etc., for 

 two hours without making game, the dogs were ordered up 

 at 4:40. Philip was a much wider ranger; both dogs worked 

 well ahd quartered their ground in good style. For range, 

 speed and style they oixtclassed any dogs in the trials. This 

 ended the heats for' the day. 



THURSDAY, 



Spot R.— WAfju's Spot.— It was a bright, cool morning, 

 and frosty. A start was made at the cemetery grounds, 

 near Market Garden. Spot R. handled by Lovell, Ward's 

 Spot by Aldricb, were cast off at 7.50. Working out a large 

 sedge field, Spot R. false pointed, backed by Ward's Spot, 

 Soon after Ward's Spot pointed on tbe side of the hill 

 backed by Spot R. Xo game found. MoWng on Spot R. 

 roaded to a bevy and pointed. Lovell flushed, shot and 

 mis.sed ; Spot R. was steady to shot and wing. Wai'd's Spot 

 false pointed, then Spot R." flushed a single and was steady 

 to wing. Ward's Spot then pointed again, backed Iby Spot 

 R. Aldricb flushed and killed : Ward's Spot unsteady, 

 went in anil retrieved the bird. After working out a corn 

 and wheat stublile without results, dogs ordered up at 9.10, 

 Spot R, ha\'ing the best of the heat. 



Rod's Whim— Xaunke Philip were cast off' in the open 

 at 9:20. In a few minutes a bevy tlushed wild in the open 

 Held. Crossing the road Whim pointed near a stone mill; 

 Phil came down on the other side and also pointed; both 

 challenged; roaded on; Phil pointed staunch at the left. 

 Whim the same at the right of the field, but nothing found; 

 evidently tbe birds had been running there. Going onto 

 the thicket, Whim pointed a single in fine style!^ Phil 

 called up to back refused, went in between Whim and the 

 bird; did not catch the scent; Waterhouse flushed the bird, 

 shot and missed. Going on to an alder swamp Phil pointed 

 a bevy; Aldricb flushed, shot and killed; both dogs steady. 

 Phil ordered to retrieve did so. Then Phil false pointed, 

 backed by Whim. Dogs ordered up at 10:30. Without a 

 doubt, this was the best brace in the stake. The winners 

 were; First. Plod's \Vhin-i. second, Nahmke Philip; third, 

 divided by Spot R.. and Miss Monarch. 



Rod s Whim, the winner of the All-Age Stake, is a good- 

 looking, fevenly^marked, black, white and'tan English setter 

 dog, by Roderigo out of Florence Gladstone, and was broken 

 by Mr. C. F. Waterhouse He is good on all game, and his 

 owner may well feel proud of him^ Blue Ridge.

THE PEARL OF PEKIN INCIDENT. 



Editor Forest and Stream: 



"Fair play is a jewel," and "consistency is a virtue," but 

 the majority of the executive committee seem never to have 

 heard of those goed old sayings, as evinced by their .grossly 

 erroneous decision regarding the winner of the AU-Agecl 

 Stake at their late counsing meet at Great Bend, Kas. 



A rule under which all coursing meets in England and 

 the United States are run was made for the especial pur- 

 pose of preventing any interference of any kind with the 

 dogs while running a course. It specifically states: "If any 

 subscriber or bis servant shall ride over his opponent's 

 greyhound while running a course, tbe owner of the dog so 

 ridden over shall, although the course be given against him, 

 be deemed the winner of it," 



Can any rule be more explicit or more easy to compre- 

 hend? Now what are the facts at issue? During the last 

 course in the All- Aged Stake, which was between Bartel's 

 Pearl of Pekin and Edmunds's Chicopee Lass, Mr, Edmunds, 

 the owner of Chicopee Lass, rode over Pearl of Pekin, 

 knocking her down, hurting her so that her yell of pain 

 could be heard a mile. 



Numerous eye-witnesses offered their affidavits to that ef- 

 fect to the executive committee, who refused to accept them. 

 Mr, Grace, the judge of the meet, stated, "I saw her run 

 over, and had I known it was Edmunds that run over her I 

 would have immediately given the course to the Pearl of 

 Pekin." 



By what method of reasoning the executive committee 

 gave flr.st prize to Chicopee Lass seems incomprehen.sible to- 

 any fair man acquainted with the rules of coursing. The 

 rule referred to is absolute, made and provided for exactly 

 such a case, and under the rule the Pearl of Pekin was 

 clearly entitled to first prize. The question as to whether 

 the collision (admitted by Mr. Edmunds) was the result of 

 intent or not, cannot enter as a factor in giving the decision; 

 and if the unjust decision given shall not be reversed, hon- 

 est lovers of tbe greyhound and coursing will give Great 

 Bend meets a go- bye. 



Interest in the sport of coursing has largely increased in 

 Colorado the past year, and numerous purchases have been 

 made here of highly-bred dogs; and Colorado would prob- 

 ably be well represented in next year's cour.sing events had 

 not this unfortunate and outrageous departure from honest 

 judging been made. This year seven Colorado dogs were en- 

 tered, and one of them certainly won first prize, whether she 

 i8_ unjustly dtprived of it or not. Your valued paper is 

 widely read and greatly esteemed in Colorado, and we be- 

 lieve its first ambition is to see the wronged righted. As a 

 lover of the greyhound and vice-president of the Queen City 

 Conrsing Club, recently organized here, I wish to utter an 

 earnest protest against the decision of the executive com- 

 mittee of the American Coursing Club at Great Bend, and 

 to re(iuest your paper, as a representatiA'e paper devoted in 

 a measure to dogs and tbeir interests, to investigate this 

 most unrighteous decision. J. H. LeMoyne, 



Vice-Pres. Queen City Coursing Club.

THE MASSACHUSETTS "'BLOODHOUNDS." 



Editor Forei<t and Stream: 



With tbe utmost respect for my friends. Messrs. Wincbell 

 and Glazier, really their proving the disposition of blood- 

 hounds, with the A^iew of securing the repeal of a very silly 

 law of Massachusetts, is a waste of effort. The trupi course 

 is to attack the law on its inherent weakness and innate 

 stupidity. It goes withorrt saying that the legislators who 

 passed this law were very poor judges of a dog, and the 

 chances are great that not a man of them knew a beagle from 

 a terrier, a smooth St, Bernard from a mastiff, or a foxhound 

 from a pointer, and m.ost certainly they did not mean the 

 English Bloodhound, for they might as well have passed an 

 act against the pterodactyl, one animal being about as 

 common as the other in the Old Bay State when the act was 

 passed. I reckon that what they had in their heads was the 

 dog of so many names, that we call boarhound, for you will 

 remember that one of its names used to be "Siberian blood- 

 hound,'' a mild fake of poor Butler's, for those gigantic 

 mongrels he used to breed a la the "Great American dog 

 Prince." Parenthetically, there was rather a jolce about the 

 invention of that name. Butler wanted to get a name con- 

 nected with some country, making his inventions a national 

 dog, and somebody suggested Siberia, it being a country 

 from which none returned, and therefore he would risk con- 

 tradiction all the less, 



I suspect that if the true inwardness of this statute is 

 traced back, it will be found that shortly before its passage 

 some blood curdling dog horror occui-red, in which a 

 "Siberian bloodhound" was the actor, and the act was passed 

 on the spur of this occurrence. The idea of a legislature en- 

 acting anything specifically as to any breed of dogs is some- 

 thing very amusing, and a thoughtful Governor would be 

 very apt to veto any such act on account of its indescriptive- 

 ness and impossibility of application. Imagine a case turn- 

 ing on the question as to whether a certain dog was, or was 

 not, a "bloodhound," and Judge Gray or .Judge E, R. Hoar 

 sitting on the case! 



I do not propose to attack any breed of dogs as to their 

 temper, but I would suggest that you go slow before certify- 

 ing to the angelic character of boarbounds. There are kinds 

 and kinds of them, but a majority of dog show habitues will 

 tell you that they are rather more chary of the boarbounds 

 than of any other dogs in the show. ' W, Wade. 



HULTON, Pa. 



BARZOIS. 



Editor Forest and Stream: 



If you will kindly give me a few lines I should like to pre- 

 vent a mistake concerning the above breed to take root. 



Lieut. Tarnovski, in your issue of Oct. 28, pi-otests against 

 the current name and proposes a new one. Whj^ the old and 

 well established name does not suit him I do not know, but 

 his proposed name of psovoi is certainly too vague, as it 

 may apply to any dog. Moreover the barzois themselves 

 are distinguished as gusto psovoi, or thick-coated, and chisto 

 psovoi, smooth coated; so it is evident that the shorter word 

 — psovoi — alone cannot be used to designate them. 



Nor is the name barzoi applied to any coursing dog, but 

 only to this special breed, as I remember from my long 

 residence in Russia, and as the official pedigrees of the dogs 

 lately imported shows. So let us better keep to the old 

 name, and certainly neither Lieut. Tarnovski nor any other 

 single man can change it so lightly, T. CoLlN. 



Pittsburgh, Nov. 4. 



PUG WINNINGS.— Bdttor Forest and Stream: In the 

 catalogue of the bench show of dogs given by the Ohio 

 Humane Society, of Cincinnati, I find in the entry of Eber- 

 hart's Cashier that this dog won "first New York, 1890; first, 

 kennel and special for best pug in show, Cleveland, 1891; first, 

 Detroit, 1891; first (challenge c]a.s.s), kennel and special for 

 best pug in show, Lexington, 1891." Tim won first at New 

 York, 1890, Eberhart's Cashier won first puppy class. Eber- 

 hart's Casbier did not win the special for best pug in show 

 at Cleveland, neither did his kennel win the kennel prize. 

 He won first at Detroit 1890, not 1891. This dog was awarded 

 the first challenge class at Lexington, but he was not elig- 

 ible to compete for it. There was no special given at Lexing- 

 ton for the best pug in show, therefore he could not have 

 won such a prize. Mr. Pitts's new pug Mr. Bonsor was at 

 Lexington, and those who read the statement in the Cintin- 

 nati catalogue would conclude that Bonsor had been bealeu 

 by Cashier. There are other similar statements in Mr. 

 "Scjuare Peal's" entries at Cincinnati.— Matthew Henry,
