FLAPS FROM THE BEAVER'S TAIL. 



Toronto, Can.— Mr. J. W. Mordeu, Hamilton, has sold 

 the smooth terrier Suffolk Coronet, well known, to Mr. A. 

 D. Stewart. 



A good many spaniels leave "Woodstock but still there is 

 room for an occasional arrival. Mr. George Douglas has 

 bought Yankee Hustler, a black bitch with a white breast, 

 by Ebony out of Vic, from Mr. C. G. Browning, of Worcester. 

 Mr Douglas has also sold the black bitch Lady Stanley, 

 a fcur-year-old black bitch, by Robin out Fraitzie, and the 

 dam of several winners. 



Fox-terrier breeders here will soon have a big choice of 

 slud dogs. Mr. Stewart is putting three at stud— Suffolk 

 Coronet, his last purchase; Raby Domiuo, sent over to him 

 by Mr. Raper, and his new youngster, My Fellow. 



Mr. Murdoch, Hamilton, was down this week. He told 

 me their local show was most successful and that their 

 exchequer is thereby increased to the amount of some $50. 

 Not so bad when it "is considered that the show was open to 

 the public but for three hours. 



I hear Mr. J, M. Harris, proprietor of the Hamilton 

 Herald, has got over a good bull-terrier dog. His name I 

 have not learned, but surmise it is Pride of the Navy, men- 

 tioned by the Br iti^li- Fancier of Oct. 14. If I am right he 

 was sent out by Mr. James Brown, of Church. 



Hamilton grows more doggy every day. I hear that sev- 

 eral more good dogs are now located there, including a black 

 and tan bitch recently imported from the United States by 

 Mr. J. B. Anderson, and the collie bitch Mayflower (Bonnie 

 Dunkeld — Merry), a winner at Hamilton and Ottawa, 

 bought from Messrs. McEwen & Gibson by Mr. George Yan- 

 derlip. 



Dr. H. S. Griffin writes me that his b«Il>-terrier bitch 

 Kathleen Mavourneen whelped a nice litter of four (two 

 dogs) to his Principio last week. The importation of this 

 brace was noted in these columns some weeks ago. 



Mr. W. P. Fraser, Toronto, has sold a Scottish terrier 

 bitch puppy, by Kilroy out of his Grey, to Mr. B. L. Clem- 

 ents.. New York. 



Mr. J. L. Gibb sent to his^son, Mr. J. Gordon Gibb, of 

 Liwrence. Kansas, a brace of fox-terriers and a collie dog. 

 The terriers are Lloyd's Trump, by Punch out of Lady, 

 Cotswold Daisy and Gibb's Madgie, by Pictle (Suffolk Cor- 

 onet— Elora Tatters) out of Judith (Blemton Trump—Bach- 

 ante). She was bred by Mr. Geo. Hanson. The collie is one 

 of McEvven & Gibson's, a black and tan by Scotsman (Edg- 

 biston Excelsior— Eyland Lady) out of Madge (Highlander 

 --Hasty). Mr. Gibb has been most successful in exhibiting 

 cattle, and is now about to try his luck with dogs. 



A meeting of the executive committee of the Canadian 

 Kennel Club will be held here on Friday the 11th at 8 P. M. 

 Several important matters are to come up. 



The Toronto Kennel Club met on Thursday, Nov. 3, and 

 decided to hold a local show, open to members only, on Nov. 

 15. Mr. Wm. Brodie will be asked to .judge all classes. The 

 new club rooms will be opened to the members on Thurs- 

 day, Nov. 17. Mr. A. D. Stewart of Hamilton will be asked 

 to speak on his favorite breed, fox-terriers: Mr. R. W. Boyle 

 on the cocker spaniel, and Mr. Brodie on any breed which he 

 may select. Two dogs of each breed will be brought up for 

 illustration. 



Can any reader oblige me with the breeding of Quayside 

 Lad, a Bedlingtoa terrier imported a lew years back?

UNITED STATES TRIALS. 



ElizAbethtown, Ky., Nov. 6.— There are fourteen starters 

 in the Derby. They were drawn to run in the following 

 order: Troublesome and Mame S., Ginger Ale and Kent's 

 Queen, Lady Peg and Onward, Boy's Faust and Earl of 

 Kent, Croxie O'Bannon and Biz^ David C. and Lad of 

 Rush, Pomme de Terre and Kent Elgin. 



The weather has been very dry, and the scenting is poor in 

 consequence. Birds are reported as being very "scarce, A 

 large number of prominent sportsmen and~Western handlers 

 are here. The judges are Col. A. G. Sloo, Vincennes; Messrs. 

 P. H. Bryson, Memphis, and B. M. Stephenson, La Grange, 

 Tenn., the latter to judge in the pointer Derby: Maj. J. M. 

 Renfroe and Mr. J. M. Freeman, the two judges who were 

 to judge with Col. Sloo, may be present later to act. The 

 quality of the dogs present is said to be very high. A light 

 rain fell this evening, which will probably improve the 

 conditions for work. 



ISveclal to Forest and Stream.) 



Elizabethtown, .Ky., Nov. 7.— Notwithstanding having 

 rains last night the scenting to-day was very poor. Birds 

 are extremely scarce and the work therefore unsatisfactory 

 and undecisive. But iive or six bevies were found. Nearly 

 all the work on birds was done in unfavorable cover. To- 

 morrow the dogs will be run on different grounds and if the 

 unfavorable conditions are found to be permanent it is prob- 

 able the trials will be concluded elsewhere. 



ISmoM, to ForeM, and Stremn.'] 



Elizabethtown, Ky., Nov. 8.— The pointer Derby was 

 concluded to-day. Lad of Rush first, Mame A. second,' Lady 

 Peg third. Birds so scarce that club held a meeting and 

 concluded with the unanimous approval of handlers to move 

 to-night by special train to Columbtis, Indiana_j where 

 grounds and abundant birds are assured. The club pays 

 the expense. A lai-ge number of prominent field trial men 

 in attendance. 



[Special from Indiana ] 



CoLTjMBirs, Ind., Nov. 9. — Horses scarce. Grounds and 

 birds unsatisfactory. Weather bad. Trials postponed till 

 . February in Mississippi, before or after the Southern trials.

 pleasure In saying that I shall hRfeafter run my advt. only with 

 your paper and the Amerimn Stock Keeper. I have given the 

 American Field and Turf, Field and Farm a good test. You can

 various papers. I congratulate you on the high tone of your own 

 department. May it long continue, Herbert M. Howes. 



Why Did Oliver Ask for More?

 Yours very trtily, :M:ADMaii KBtrNiii« (Bo« m). 



While the latest communication from the committee to Lord Van- 

 raven has not been made public, it is plain that the situation is un- 

 changed from that of two weeks ago. The question of a ra.-e to at 

 appearances hinges on a quibble over the exact meaning of the word 

 "bold." If Lord Dun raven can be persuaded that in "holding" the 

 Cup open to challenge under the immediate conditions as to dimen- 

 sions, time allowance and other secondary details that are accorded 

 to him, he is not at the same time bound by the new deed of gift and 

 nothing else, there will be a race. If, however, his Lordship is astute 

 enough to understand that his challenge is considered by the New 

 York Y. C. only as offered and accepted under the new deed, and 

 that most of the objectionable features of this noted document are 

 still in full force, there is little chance of his persisting in challeng- 

 ing. The present dickerings and bickerings are creditable to neither 

 side; if the New York Y. O. is not prepared to annul the new deed, 

 the proper course is to say so squarely and frankly. If Lord Dua- 

 raven really means what he has said, condemning the new deed as 

 illegal in its origin and unfair in principle, the only dignified course 

 open to him is to decline all terms, however tempting on the surface, 

 which carry with them a virtual Indorsement of the deed. 



HAVIN6 produced the flu-keel, Mr. N. G. Herreshoff has this year 

 given some thought to a rule which would, if deemed desirable, bar 

 this type of yacht. He has suggested the use of the displacement, 

 D, as a divisor in the present formula, which would be then 



^ ^ D ^ ^ ' * """Stant being used according to the unit of lineal or 

 cubic measurement desired. Of coiu-se, such a rule would at once 

 put a premium on increased displacement, to the confusion of fln 

 keels of all sorts. 



In utter innocence of its sarcasm, the Boston Herald discusses 

 seriously Lord Dunraven's remark that were he a holder of the Cup, 

 he would gladly receive the full dimensions and even the entire de- 

 sign if a challenger insisted on the right to send them; thereby prov- 

 ing the deep duplicity ©f the present challenger. The present posi- 

 tion of the New York Y. 0. is that of Insisting on its right to furnish 

 that same information which every designer and owner desires to 

 conceal; an opera bouffe proceeding which is too ridiculous for 

 serious argument. 



The receipt at a late hour last week of a large amount of very 

 important kennel news was responsible for the partial wreck of the 

 Yachting and Canoeing departments. The attempt of a compositor 

 to set up an interest ing dog story with one hand while he was cor- 

 recting the proof of a yachting article with the other resulted in 

 some startling orthographic effects, but we hope that our position in 

 relation to the new deed of gift will not be mistaken in consequence. 



Wk pubhsh this week a letter from a yachtsman whose views as to 

 the new deed are directly opposed to our own, and who commends 

 the course of the New York Y. C. We need not remind our readers 

 that while we propose editorially to make the best possible presenta- 

 tion of that .side which we believe to be right, our colunms are al- 

 ways open to those who dissent from us. 



Comanche. 



The steam yacht Comanche, of Cleveland, O., has laid in Man- 

 ning's Basin for the past ten days, making the final preparations 

 for a winter cruise to the West Indies. The yacht is interestmg 

 as being of American design and workmanship throughout, and ' 

 the second seagoiug steam yacht built on the Great Lakes. Her 

 dimensions are: Over aU 18.5fc., l.w.l. I65ft , beam Soft, 2in., depth 

 l.SfC. draft lift. 3in. Her engines are triple compoimd, I4in., 33iu. 

 and .36ui. by 24in : boiler 12x8ft. 



So far as^he American design is concerned, the less said the better ; 

 the builders would have done well to have copied any good English 

 steam yacht. Not only is there nothing distinctively new or Ameri- 

 can in the model, but there is a strong resemblance to the ordinary 

 British tramp steamer about the bows, with a general lack of style 

 and finish to the whole design of hull and rig. 



At the same time the work is in many ways commendable, the 

 plating is smooth and well done, the workmanship throughout ap- 

 pears to be thorough and honest, and the interior arrangement and 

 decoration are specially good. 



The deckhouse is long enough to give a snug smoking room for- 

 ward, a saloon with piano, from which the main stairway descends, 

 a roomy galley and to cover the engine room. 



The crew is berthed aft, with the officers between them and the 

 macbinery, and the owner's quarters a'-e all forward. The main 

 saloon and the various staterooms are large and well arranged, and 

 the finishing and furnishings are in excellent taste. Light wood, 

 oak and butternut has been used througoout, the joiner work and 

 carvings being free from over-ornamentatiOB. The forecastle even 

 is finished handsomely in polished butternut: the officers' quarter's 

 ai-e stiU more elaborately finished. The yacht is fitted with electric 

 lights throughout, and with bathrooms, running water and all the 

 conveniences of a well-equipped city house. 



She has two pole masts, with a heavy rake, carrying square yards. 

 She was built by the Globe Iron Works, of Cleveland, and is owned 

 by H. M. Hanna, of that city. 



The bridge is well amidships, with a large space over tbe forward 

 end of the deckhouse. The side ladders are of a new and ingenious 

 pattern, skeleton ladders, which fold flat as they are hoisted, and 

 are then folded up and secured close against the outside of the bul- 

 warks, out of the way and secure from damage, but readv to be low- 

 ered at a moment's notice. 



Lake Ontario. 



BAY OP CJUINTE. 



Belleville, Out. , Oct. 31.— The yachting season is over in these 

 waters, and a retrospective glance over the achievements of our 

 local craft this year is not quite so pleasant as it was a few years 

 ago, namely in 1884, when they won ^STO out of a possible $1,185, 

 and, barring accident, would have run their winnings up to SI. 045. 

 The simple fact is that our yachts have been beaten because they 

 have been out-builc. Owing to local conditions we will probably 

 have to stay in the 40ft. class— the favorite here— behind the leaders 

 of the procession. No resident of tne Bay of Quinte district would 

 build a Zelma or a Yama, as their draft is too great for cruising in 

 these waters, and against such fine, powerful craft we cannot hope 

 to win in their class with centerboarders. It may be different in the 

 largest class. Norah, after one of the best races ever run, lost tbe 

 Fisher Cup to Onward, a much more powerful boat, by only 46s., she 

 allowing 3m. 19s. over a course of 36 nautical miles. The weather 

 was just the thing for the victor, the wind being strong, with heavy 

 puffs. Onward carried a dozen extra good heavy men, who made, 

 excellent shifting ballast, and would not, I think, have won without 

 them. Norah carried only her regular crew, she is a low-sided and 

 deep-waisted boat, and had a heavy load of water on her lee deck 

 when on the wind, and a leaky cabin trunk filled her over the cabin 

 floor in the last round. Taking these circumstances into account, it 

 seems possible to improve Norah so much as to make her beat On- 

 ward. The attempt will, if I am correctly informed, be made, as the 

 yacht has been taken to the shipyard at Deseronto, where her sides 

 wiU be raised and she will be given a flush deck. 



The rebuilding of Atalanta has been a long job, and .she will 

 remain here until next year. She will probably have a try for the 

 Fisher cup before going to her future home at Chicago. Her sides 

 have been raised I4in., and she has now a flush deck. The planking, 

 all of which is new, excepting four strakes in the bottom, is of choice 

 oak, and the old craft will be better and stronger than ever before. 

 Mr. John Allen, our local shipbuilder, has done an excellent job. 



Poet Tack. 



Nellie, catboat, has been sold by M. F. Plant to Samuel Stenson, 

 and Mr, Plant will, as receatly stated, replace her with a new Crosby 

 cat.
