As to the resif?iiatious of the other members, people are 

 always talking about resigning from things. Probably not 

 more than one or two resignations will occur. Bless your 

 heart, this is just a pleasant little family matter, and it will 

 all come right in the spring or in the fall. There won't be 

 any international coursing Jiieet here next year, but the 

 American Coursing Club, in name, will be here, the ghost 

 of what it ought to be, to realize at last that it has brought 

 its own troubles on itself by its own shiftless, weak and in- 

 4lecisive policy, and to go at length, when coursing elsewhere 

 lias developed in its practice into a sport that is really sports- 

 manlike, either into a new way of conduct and a better 

 future, or into that oblivion which awaits nerveless dogs, 

 nerveless men and nei-veless managements. E. Hough.

DOG CHAT. 



A Kennel Club for Detroit. 



The new kennel club recently formed la Detroit, Mich., has a 

 rather peculiar name, but its members evidently mean business. 

 The old Michigan Kennel Club having seemingly died a natural 

 death, the many fanciers of the City of the Straits have for some 

 time had a new organizutiou in view. "The City of the St,rait8 

 Kennel Club, Limited," is now the name of the nfw organiza- 

 tion, and tbe first meeting was held Oct. lO, in the office of Mr. E. 

 B. Welton, Mr. Guy Welion being the prime mover. The en- 

 couragement given by those attcading was so practical that 

 another meeting was called Oct, 17. Several plans of organiza- 

 tion were formulated and another meeting held and the name of 

 thH clnb as stated above decided upon. At -present the member- 

 phip includes Harry Shelden, G. M. Hetidri", J. H. Alexander, H. 

 Muir, Dr. G. Nlcolai, Chas. Backus, Thos. Blake, C. W. Wolfertz. 

 T. C. Ouelette, A. b. McCrae, Geo. H. Ellis, W. G.Young, A. T. 

 Knowlson, Guy D. Welton, Dr. C. E. Eenton, John Herbertson, A. 

 D. Welton. F. C. Cook, H. Beaumont, E. B. West, W. Genicke, 

 Jur"ge E. Haug, Earnest Mann. Allan Frszer, Charles Thurman, 

 J. W. Garrison, Geo. H. Collins, J. P. Tyler, .Jacob Cline and J. H. 

 Koss. Local dog shows are to be held and one good show every 

 year to fall in the circuit after Pittsburg if possible. The club is 

 to be run on business principles, and not altogether on sentiment. 

 The club, if properly managed, is bound t-> bring Detroit to the 

 front in dcg mattprs. for there are a number of breeders in this 

 city. Among them Harry Shelden, H. Muir, G. M. Heudrie and J. 

 H. Alexander have Itennels of fox-terriers. Dr. Nicolai raises 

 noted great Danes, Charles Backus breeds cockers and grey- 

 hounds, Thomas Blake revels in cockers and whiiipets, Irish set- 

 ters are bred by C. W. Wolfert z, H. Beaumont, Judge Haug, A. 

 B. Welton and .J. W. Garrison. T. C. Onellette, A. T. Knowlson, 

 D. C. E. Fenton, of Essex, and John Herbertson lean toward 

 cocker spaniels, G. H. Ellis, of Windsor, and W. G. Young have 

 greyhounds. G. H Collins has the St. Louis Gordon Kennels of 

 Gordon setters, J. P. Tyler also breeds Gordon setters and Jacob 

 Cline represents the English setters. The following officers were 

 electeri at a meeting held Oct 24: President. George M. Hendrie; 

 First Vice-President, A. L. McOrae; Second Vice-President, H. 

 Muir; Secretary, Guy Welton; Treasurer, C. K. Backus; Directors, 

 Dr. ISJicolai, C. W. Wolfertz, A. T. Knowlton, T. E. Ouellette. 

 The flub has applied for membership in the American Kennel 

 Club, and if accepted steps will be taken in claiming dates for a 

 show. 



Russian Wolfhounds. 



Last week we exclusively mentioned the importation by Mr. 

 James Mortimer of a Russian wolfhound, but we did not know 

 that she was a celebrity. Mr. Mortimer writes us: "I don't know 

 how you manage to get hold of all the news. I intended to have 

 kept my Russian wolfhound importation a secret until the New 

 York show, when I could have shown her tit and well. As the 

 secret is out, I may as well tell you that The bitch was sent me bv 

 Mr. Geo. R. Krebl. I saw her at the Kennel Club show, Islington, 

 where she won third prize in a very good class, first and second 

 being won respectively by the Duchess of Newcastle's Lehedka 

 and Zarlada II.; vhc. reserve going to Mr. Huntington's Zerry, 

 he. to Otlika, another good bitch that had w on a medal at St. 

 Petershurg, first Leeds, second Edinburgh, etc. It was generally 

 conceded that Zmeika, the bitch I have imported, should have 

 been second, the Duchess of Newcastle herself volunteering tlie 

 statement that Zmeika wa^ a better specimen than Zarlada II. 

 Zmeika was bred to the Duchess of Newcastle's Kaissaek, Mr. 

 Geo. Krehl selecting the sire. Kaissaek is a very powerful and 

 typicfil dog that has done a great deal of winning, and has a great 

 reputation as a stud dog. which he has in no wise disgraced, for 

 Zmeika gave birth to fourteen puppies (six bitches) on the White 

 Star steamship Cuflc. All are doing well with the aid of foster 

 mothers, which I was very fortunate in being able to find. 

 Zmeika is, I think, the largest hitch of her breed that I have seen, 

 and is full of quality. She is also very beautifully marked in 

 head, with white body. The puppies are strong and healthy, and 

 I have every reason to be more than satisfied with my purchase. 

 Zmeika was born in 1890. I ha ve her pedigree, a very swell affair, 

 printed in Russia, but it is all Greek to me."' Then he very cruelly 

 adds: "I will bring ii in (the pedigree) when I come to town and 

 get ynu to interpret it." This serves us right for dabbling in the 

 "Psovoi" nomenclature. 



Omaha Bench Show. 



Our report and list of awards of the show not having reached 

 us in time must be held over till next week, and perhaps it is just 

 as well, considering the crowded state of our columns this week. 

 The liberal prize list brought some of the best dogs in the country 

 to this far Western city, and of course meeting with little com- 

 petition, the prize list would read like a repetition of fall shows. 

 In the dispatches we find that Mr. Lewis's Fern wood Bruce, To, 

 etc., took care of St. Bernards. Mr. Charles B. Bunn's Mastiffs 

 Edric, Sinolan and others scooped up most of the money. Im- 

 perator, the Great Dane, was also shown, and Wolverine Kennels 

 bad a good kennel of their dogs on hand. The Brighton Kennel 

 (Mr. T. G.Davey's), showed the Omahoys what a good pointer is 

 like with Lady Gay Spanker and others, and Mr. Hyland had 

 Ossining there too Dr. Dixon's Gordons were in Ben Lewis's team 

 of forty doge, he winning tbe handler's prize. W. C. Downing's 

 Benzine was the best English setter. Geo. Bell took on a chofce 

 lot of his noted cockers and Fascination won the specials. The 

 Oarlowrie Collie Kennels took the lion's share of the collie prizes, 

 and the Ilwiss Kennels of Bulldogs from Chicago had that breed 

 to themselves. Mr. Ballentine's pugs took the money for these 

 dogs. The judges were Mr. John Davidson and Dr. H. M. Cryer. 

 About 32-5 dogs were exhibited and the club, owing to their liber- 

 ality, scored a distinct success both in the quality of the dogs and 

 attendance. 



American Coursing Club. 



Mr. Hough, In his excellent report of the American Coursing 

 Club's meeting, gives us a very good idea of the worse than 

 weak state the club seems to be in at present. Such weak-kneed- 

 ness and vacillation wiU make the club a laughing stock to the 

 coui-sing world. In horse racing, coursing and kindred sports it 

 is especially imperative that the rules be strictly lived up to and 

 correctly interpreted. If racing has its board of control it would 

 seem as if the coursing element iu Great Bend stands very much 

 In need of some such body wiih the backbone and intelligence to 

 correct existing evils. The consideration of the Pearl of Pekin 

 and Chicopee Lass allair is ludicrous in the extreme and will 

 certainly create a feeling of distrust among right-thinking men. 

 Their action in the Luse expulsion case is reprehensible; if ex- 

 pulsion is too severe IV) there should be some punishment meted 



out to a man who will thus falsely seek to get the better of his 

 fellows who are sportsmen. The East was well represented by 

 Mr. J. Herbert Watson, of Brooklyn, who brought bis legal educa- 

 tion to bear upon several matters during the meeting, especially 

 in the events of the Jjuse false entry case and the "Pearl of Pekin 

 incident" farce. 



In conlra-distinotion to the proceedings at trreat Bend, it is a 

 pleasure to turn to a review of the Beagle Club trials. There 

 may have been at times a difference of opinion, but judges were 

 always pleased to explain and everything went as smooth as pos- 

 sible, there being no such thing as a kick. The evenings were 

 spent in pleasant conversation in a quiet and orderly manner, 

 a regular love feast, as one of the men remarked. The Judges 

 did their work well; at no time did they loiter, but were Hlwars 

 intent upon their duties which were arduous in the extreme. All 

 were pleased to see Mr. Dorsey, that old-time beagle breeder 

 and exhibitor win with Lee II., and though he got a knock or 

 Two he remarked to us, "They gave me a little of the bitter at 

 first, but the sweet at tbe end made up tor it." There is talk of 

 another field trial being held about Christmas near Boston, a 

 sort of local aft'air, but we trust it will not be found necessary to 

 create a side club to carry it out. BeWer have it under the 

 present club rules and all keep together. These little splits often 

 do a great deal of harm, eventually. 



Brooklyn Dog Show. 



The bench show committee of the N. O. C. are fast getting 

 things into shape for tboir big dog show this month, and indica- 

 tions are that they will have an entry more than large enough to 

 fill the budding. The following railroads will carry free those 

 dogs svho are accompanied by owner or caretakers on showing 

 identification tickets: N. Y. C. & H. R. R., Ei'ie lines, Central of 

 New Jersey, New York. Ontario & Western, Pennsylvania, 

 Michigan Central, New York, Now Haven & Hartford , West 

 Shore, Delaware, l-ackawanna & Western, Grand Trunk, Lehigh 

 Valley. Philadelphia & Reading. Baltimore & Ohio and Chesa- 

 peake & Ohio, and the express companies will carry dogs at their 

 usual liberal rates— prepaid double rates and free return. They 

 are the Adams, American, Wells, Fargo & Co., New Y"ork & Boa- 

 Ton Dispatch Co, and Long Island. The National Greyhound 

 Club have made the following additional classes: Class 18A, 

 bloodhounds, challenge dogs and bitches, club medal; 70A, Clum- 

 ber spaniels, dogs and bitches, $10 and $5; 79A, bulldogs, dogs 

 under 451h8., $W and $5; 79B, bulldogs, bitches under 'l.'ilbs., $10 

 and $5; 113A, Irish terriers, puppies, dogs and bitches, 1-5 and $3. 

 Clas5es lor dogs and bitches will be divided when five of each 

 sex are entered. All great Dane specials, excepting those offered 

 by the N. G. C, are for club members only. Two challenge 

 classes have also been made for this breed. A number of ad- 

 ditional specials have come in but space is too precious to give 

 them in full this week. 



Hamilton Local Dog Show. 



That Hamilton is a progressively "dogly" town has been patent 

 to all for some time. Their latest venture shows that without 

 outside aid they can hold a very respectable exhibition. The 

 gathering of local dogs on the evening of Oct. 24 at the Palace 

 Rink. Hamilton, was held under the auspices of the Hamilton 

 Kennel Club, of which Alderman A. D. Stpwart is the secretary. 

 Confined strictly to local dogs the entry of 148 is a gentle reminder 

 of what the club could have done had they held a regular show 

 this fall with proper inducements in the way of money prizes. 

 Local men, members of the club, officiated as judges, their special 

 idio8yncra=<ies being in most cases considered in governing their 

 choice. The following is the list: Bedlington and black and tan 

 terriers, Mr. Andrew Murdoch; boarhounds, wolfhounds and 

 whippets, Mr. B. B. Harris; buU-terriera, Dr. Griffin; collies and 

 St. Bernards. Mr. E. R.. Close; spaniels and pugs. Mr. W. B. 

 Palmer; Yorkshire and toy terriers and King Charles spaniels, 

 Mr. John Hackett; great Danes, Newfoundland* and Dalmatians, 

 Mr. A. D. Stewart ; harriers and foxhounds, Messrs. E. Tinsley 

 and Wm. McDonald; mastifl!s and Dandle Dinmonts, Mr. H. P. 

 Breay: fox-t*rriers, Mr. J W. Morden; setters and pointers, Mr. 

 E. Tinsle> ; greyhounds, Messrs. A. Murdoch and Wm. McDonald. 

 We are sorry that space this week forbids our giving the full list 

 of awards, and in view of the local aspect of the affair it is 

 scarcely necessary. In spaniels there were 33 entries, chiefly 

 cockers. Greyhounds also showed a good entry, and of course 

 among the 22 fox-terriers some weU known dogs were found. 

 Foxhounds. St. Bernards and toy terriers were next in order of 

 numbers, the other breeds having as a rule about one or two en- 

 tries each. The H. K. C. continues to do good work, and during 

 the two years In which it has been in existence it has done much 

 to foster the breeding of good dogs. The officers of the club are 

 to be congratulated on;tbe results of their efforts in this direc- 

 tion. 



An Important Decision. 



The Court of Appeals affirmed judgment Oct. 25, in the case of 

 George B, Gallup, appellant vs. August Belmont and others. This 

 was an action brought against the defendants, the officers of the 

 American Kennel Club, for alleged libels published in tneiTen- 

 7iel Gazette, It will be remembered the articles complained of 

 alleged that in September, 1889, the advisory committee of the 

 A.K. O. ordered the suspension of the Albany Club for the non- 

 payment of tbe prizes awarded by it at its bench show, held in 

 March, 1889, and that, no official notice having reached the office 

 of the American Kennel Club, all the officers of the Albany Ken- 

 nel Club, of whom plaintiff was one, had been suspended. The 

 general term sustained the demurrer upon the ground that such 

 publications were not libellous on their face and were not calcu- 

 lated to injure the plaintiff' in his character. Thus ends another 

 chapter of the suspension troubles. 



Suffolk Coronet. 



Mr. A. D. Stewart, with that restless spirit with which he is 

 imbued, felt that he could not rest content, for a time at least, 

 until hoi secured a monopoly of the stud fox-terriers in his town- 

 ship. Suffolk Coronet, owned by Mr. .T. W. Morden, was a big 

 thorn in the wav, therefore it was plucked and now is an inmate 

 of the Bonady Kennel. Mr. Morden writes us that the dog has 

 been very successful, but this stud business took up a good deal of 

 valuable time, and he decided to let Alderman Stewart have his 

 way for a year or two. Suffolk Coronet was originally Blemton 

 Coronet, and did some winning both in Mr. Belmont's and Mr. 

 Mortimer's hands, but since he has been in Canada he has at- 

 tended strictly to his home duties and has not been seen in public 

 till last week's local show. 



In speaking of the Hamilton show we are reminded of a letter 

 appearing in a contemporary signed "Sunshine," in which the 

 writer questions our remarks regarding certain handlers taking 

 their dogs to Ottawa in preference to Rochester. For the infor- 

 mation of this bright individual we mieht as well say that on the 

 boat coming from Kingston to Cape Vincent this very subj ect 

 was brought up and no other than Ben Lewis, in the presence of 

 Messrs. Spracklin, Geo. Thomas and others, counted up the dogs 

 they would have taken to Rochester had not the unfortunate con- 

 duct of the Rochester people caused the abandonment of the 

 Hamilton show. If ;"Sunshine" wishes more light on the sub- 

 ject he is at liberty to appeal to those named for further indorse- 

 ment of what we said. 



Major J. M. Taylor's new book containing records of all field 

 trials and bench show dogs, and "men" too, will be ready, he tells 

 us, by Saturday. We have seen an advance volume, and it is quite 

 handsome in appearance. It contains a record of all That 

 happened in the field trial and bench show world in America from 

 1874 to 1891 inclusive. Pictures ol a number of the principal 

 sportsmen, field dogs and bench show winners are given. In the 

 records of field trials, etc., he gives ownership, name of dog, sire, 

 dam, color, breed, prize won and handlers of all field trial 

 winners. The handlers' records alone required thrre months work 

 in mvestigating, and is interesting reading. All beagle trials, 

 collie trials, and coursing meetings are also recorded. Then there 

 is an alphabetical list of all sires of field trial winners, and also 

 of flU the dams of field trial winners, and this alone is invaluable 

 to breeders Lists of officers and standards of all specialty clubs 

 are given, also a list of all the bench show records of winning 

 dogs, judges names, etc.: in fact the record data is bewildering in 

 its completeness, and we can only afford to merely speak of a 

 tithe of the records which have taken the Major about two years 

 steady labor to complete. There are over two hundred illustra- 

 tions, and the book will prove invaluable to both field men and 

 exhibitors. The price will be $5. and, considering the amount of 

 information Siven that cannot be gained from any other source, 

 the price is little enough. 



An exciting wolf chase took place at Wallace, Neb., Oct. 23, 

 Twenty-five greyhounds were used in the fun. Wolves were 

 plentiful, but the intention was not to kill Them, So after the 

 dogs had run one down in a two-mile chase, the hunters jumped 

 from their horses and pulling the dogs off secured the wolf and 

 put it in a cart. Another wolf was bagged in the same way, and 

 the rest getting soared it was difficult to sight another. Then the 



'trail hounds," whatever these are, were brought up, and soma 

 good sport ensued, interfered in somewhat by the numerous wire 

 fences. This is sport with a smack of danger in it. but anything 

 else seems tame to the Westerner. 



The Eikridge Hunt Club, of Baltimore, Md., ran a drag at 

 Catonsville, Oct. 2G. They have a new pack of English hounds, 

 thirteen in number, and an English whip, who accompanied the 

 hounds over. Mr. Alex. Brown is the ma.ster. The ground was 

 very dry, but the hounds gave a good account of themselves— 

 doan't Cher know. 



A special show of dogs will he held in Toronto, January or Feb- 

 ruary nexf, to determine which dogs shall represent Canada at 

 the World's Fair show. A commission of five, to be appointed by 

 the C. K. C, win make the selection. The Minister of Agricul- 

 ture has authorized Prof. Saunders to assist the club flnaDcially 

 in making arrangements for the show. 



In presenting the pictures of dogs and members of the Beagle 

 Club in this week's issue we are reminded that credit is due to 

 the lUustraiiid Spoi-iing and Drnmatie Newn for the spirited sketch 

 of beaglehunting in England, published in Fobest and Stream 

 of Oct. 20, which proved of great interest to those present at Nan- 

 uet last week. 



The Mitchell Kennel Aesociation, of Mitchell, S, D., held a grand 

 coursing meeting Nov. 3 and 3, and bnng up valuable cash prizes 

 to be competed for by tbe thirtv or more greyhounds entered. 

 Arthur Massey, of Great Bend, Kas., officiated as jndgs at the 

 mfeting. A valuable silver cup, donated by the association was 

 offered in the consolation race. This is the first meeting of the 

 kind held in the State. 



The owner of Ocean View Park, San Francisco, Cal,, is trying 

 to arrange an international match with Australian dogs and an 

 all-American match with crack dogs of the Eastern States. The 

 latter arrangements will be made in a week or two. Members of 

 the American Club are expected to bring tbirty-iwo of their crack 

 dogs. The match will be a sixty-four dog stake— California, 

 against the nick of the East. Mr. Canavan offers a good induce- 

 ment for the Eastern men to come there. He will pay all entrance 

 fees for the thirty-two dogs, all expenses of dogs and borses used 

 in training, and of the men sent with the dogs, and beside this 

 will give a $100 cup, together with a stake of $1,280 in cash. The 

 first prize wid be $610 cash and the $100 cup, second prize $320, and 

 third and fourth prizes $100 each. It will he the greatest coursing 

 event known in Califoimia, and will probably take place about 

 Thanksgiving. 



A meeting of the New England Field Trial Olub will be held at 

 the Town Hall, Assonet, Mass., Monday, Nov. 7, at 9 P. M. 



A meeting of the field trial committee of the National Beagle 

 Cbib was held on Wednesday night to consider the question as 

 to whether the only remaining entry, B. S. Turpin's Clyde, 

 should be allowed to fill in class C. It was moved and seconded 

 that the single entry should be allowed to fill and run the al- 

 lotted time before the judges, and merit of dog be left in the 

 hands of the judges, and pool divided according to Rule 1, i. e., 

 forty per cent, of entire po'd to go to first of class. This was 

 the only fair way to treat Mr. Tarpin's entry, as it would have 

 been manifestly unfa'r to bar his dog unless the prize carried 

 some condition as to the number of dogs entering before the stake 

 could be run. 



Mr. W. W. Bainbridge has purchased the pointer Nick C. 

 (champion Nick of Naso—Nellit) and the pointer Fedora (cham- 

 pion Graphic— King Bow's Dawn); also the St. Bernard Beauty 

 II.. a granddauhghter of champion Duke of Leeds, by Plato ex 

 Wanda. 



We are sorry to hear that Mr. Child's Tony Weller was shot by 

 some miscreant after the dog's return from the beagle trials. It 

 is hardly possible Tony will recover, as his spine is injured. 



We have received the Seminole Kennels' new catalogue, and it 

 is replete with notices of good things in the way of collies, Irish 

 setters and pugs. Each noted dog in the kennel is described, and 

 on nearly every page is a half-tone of one or other of their cele- 

 brated dogs. The catalogue is a further proof that this large 

 kennel means to stay in it and keep as near the top as possible, 

 and we wish their owner every success. 



Mr. C. S. Hanks has secured T. W. Turner to manage his ken- 

 nels et Seacroft, Mass. Mr. Turner was for several years head 

 kennelman to Mr. H. W. Cooper, Ashburne, Derbyshire, Eng., 

 and has dabbled in fox-terriers quite a good deal. 



At a meeting of the Irish Setter Club, held Oct. U, at Glenside, 

 Pa., Me«BrH. Ray Tompkins, Elmira, N. Y., and Arthur R. Sharp, 

 Taunton. Mass., were elected members. Advertising bills amount 

 ing to $39 were ordered paid. 



ROD AND GUN AND CAMERA. 



As a recognition of the important place of amateur photography 

 in its relation to sports of the Held and prairie and mountain and 

 forest and stream, the Fouest and Stream offers a series of 

 prizes for meritorious work with the camera. The conditions 

 under whicn these prizes will be given are in brief as here set 

 forth: 



There will be ten prizes, as follows: First $35. Second $30 

 Third $15. Fourth $10, Six of $5 each. 



The competition will be open to amateurs only. 



The subjects must relate to PORfflST And Stream's field— game 

 and fish (alive or dead), shooting and fishing, the camp, campers 

 and camp life, sportsman travel by land or water. 



There is no restriction as to the time when the pictures may 

 have been or may be made— whether in 1892 or in previous years. 



Pictures will be received up to Dec. 31, of this year. 



All work must be original; that is to say, it must not have been 

 submitted in any other competition, nor have been published. 



There are no restrictions as to make or style of camera, nor as 

 to size of plate. 



A competitor need not be a subscriber of Foresi and Stbkam. 



All photographs will be submitteed to a committee, shortly to 

 be announced. In making their awards the judges will be in- 

 structed to take into consideration the technical merits of the 

 work as a photograph, its artistic qualities: and other things 

 being equal, the unique and difficult nature of the subject. 

 Photographs must be marked only with initials or a pseudonym 

 for identification. With each photograph should he given name 

 of sender, title of view, locality, da,te, and name of camera. 



Tbe photographs shall be the propsrty of the Forest and 

 Stream. This applies onl v to the particular prints sent us. 



From time to time we shall reproduce by the half-tone process 

 samples of the work submitted, and should the interest In 

 Forest and Stream's Amateur Photography Collection prove 

 to be what is anticipated, we may ask for an expression of opinion 

 by a vote of all our readers after the manner of the successful 

 and famous "Camp-Fire Plickering Vote." Such popular vote 

 will be quite distinct from the award by the committee. 



He was Surprised, but We are Not, 



New York, Oct. 27, 1892. 



Forest and Stream PuhlUMng Co.: 



Dear Sirs— When I was first asked to advertise in Forest and 

 Stream, the suggestion struck me unfavorably, for I Thought 

 that yours was a class paper and would he of little use to my 

 business. However, I was at last persuaded to give you a trial for 

 a short time, and I have been greatly surprised at the residts re- 

 ceived from this advertisement. It has been running now three 

 weeks, and I can say withoTit exaggeration that I never used a 

 medium for advertising which brought me such large returns in 

 so short a time, and at so trifling a cost. I congratulate your com- 

 pany and myself on these good results. Y"oura very truly
