FOREST AND STREAM. 



[Feb. 3, 1893. 



quite liberal. Mastiffs and St. Bernards are treated the 

 Tbest, with SIO in challenge, $15, $7 and $3 in open, and $7 and 

 $8 in puppy and local classes. Pointers, setters, collies and 

 fox-terriers get $10 for challenge and $10, $7 and $3 in open, 

 and same as the others in the other classes. Beagles, 

 spaniels (Classification Xo. 3), Irish temers and pugs have 

 $7 for challenge classes and $7, $5 and S3 in the o]3e.n. Bull- 

 terriers get SIO, $5 and $3 in open classes. Russians, grey- 

 hounds and deerhounds get $7 for challenge, sexes together, 

 and $10 and $5 in open. Bulldogs and black and tans the 

 same in challenge, but $7 and $3 in open, while the following 

 breeds get $7 and $3 in open, mthout challenge classes— fox- 

 hounds, harriers and Yorkshire terriers. Those with sexes 

 together and having S7 and *3 are Newfoundlands, Clum- 

 bers, Irish water spa.niels, Skye, Scottish, Dandie Dinmont 

 and toy terriers and toy spaniels. Great Danes get -$10, 85 

 and $:3; bloodhounds the same, without a third ]3rize. The 

 specialty clubs have responded well, the Mastiff, National 

 Grreyhoiind, Spaniel, Pointer, Beagle and Collie clubs being 

 proi'ninent. ' The St. Bernard Club also gives medals, but it 

 IS not so stated in the list. Kennel prizes of -SIS will be given 

 in mastiffs, St. Bernards, pointers, English and Irish setters, 

 spaniels, fox-terriers, bull-tei-riers, pugs and beagles. Local 

 classes are also given for dogs residing within the city 

 limits not having ^^'on a cash prize at any of the A. K. C. 

 shows. Entries close Feb. IT with Jas. WMson, secretary, 

 Box 770, Philadelphia, Pa. The Philadelphia Tattersall's is 

 a building well adapted for a show, lots of room and any 

 amount of stall room for keeping dogs between shows. 



Baltimore Dog- Show. 



In the list of prizes Ave find an increase over the last show 

 in '91. Mastiffs, St. Bernards, pointers, setters, collies and 

 fox-terriers get the cream, challenge $10 each, and open 

 classes $15, $10 and $5. We are pleased to see the club wastes 

 no money on puppy classes — there are none, and for this the 

 club deserves praise. Breeds which ha\-e slO for challenge 

 classes and §10 and $5 in open are bulldogs, Imll-terriers, 

 beagles and pugs. Great Danes, field and coclcer spaniels 

 have sexes together in challenge with $10, and •'r^lO and $5 in 

 open, sexes divided. Russians, foxhounds, deerhounds, grey- 

 hounds, field and cocker spaniels, dachshunds and black and 

 tans have $10 and $5 with no challenge classes. This we think 

 a mistake, as there are some of these breeds which surely 

 should have a challenee class. In all other breeds the sexes 

 compete together and have SIO and $6. There are just 100 

 classes provided. 



The judges' list is as follows: Great Danes, foxhounds 

 (American and English), dachshunds and basset hounds, Mr. 

 G. Muss-Arnolt, Tuckahoe, N. Y.; bulldogs, Mr. Charles D. 

 Cugle, Baltimore, Md.; pointers, linglish, Irish and Gordon 

 setters, Mr. Wm. Tallman, New Y'ork; collii^s and spaniels 

 (field, cocker. Clumber and Iri.sh water), JsLt. Jauies AYatson, 

 Philadelphia, Pa.; mastiffs, bloodhounds, Chesapeake Bay 

 dogs, fox-terriers (smooth and wire-haired), bull-terriers, 

 pugs. King Charles spaniels, Blenheim spaniels. Prince 

 Charles and Buby spaniels, Jap.-uiese spaniels, Italian grey- 

 hounds, Mexican hairless and miscellaneous classes, Mr. Jas. 

 Mortimer. Hempstead, L. I.; St. Bernards (rough and smooth- 

 coated), Newfoundlands, Russian wolfhounds, greyhounds, 

 deerhounds, poodles, beagles, Irish terriers, Dandie Dinmont 

 terriers, Skye terriers, black and tan terriers, Clydesdale ter- 

 riers. Yorkshire terriers and toy terriers, Mr. H. \Y. Lacy, 

 New Y'^ork: superintendent, Mr. .John Read, of Ne\r York; 

 veterinarian, Wm. H. Martenet. D.Y.S., of Baltiniore. 



All thesejudges will have officiated before. Mr. Muss-Arnolt 

 taking almost the same classes as at New Y'ork. The specials 

 are not yet announced, but kennel prizes of $15 are given in 

 most of the breeds. The entries close Feb. 25 with ^\^. Stewart 

 Dift'enderft'er, Central Savings Bank Btulding, Baltimore, 

 Md., checks to be made payable to the treasurer, C. K. DiEEen- 

 derll'er. Tills club has so far held losing .shows, anil it is to 

 be hoped that exhibitors will give them a good entry, a.s un- 

 less this .shoAv pays for itself this year, there will l)e little in- 

 ducement to hold anr)tlier. Tlie entry fee is $3. SprattsCo. 

 will bench and feed and 'Sanitas" disinfect. 



A Neg^^|sottish Terrier. . 

 "While at Mr. H. Br^^^s charming place lasifc week he told 

 us that he had cabM^or a crack terrier that came out at 

 Dumfries where she won second open, first novice, and at 

 Paisley another second in the open. She has just arrived on 

 the s.s. Siberian at Boston. This isij^incess Alexander from 

 Mr. A. G. Dippie's kennels. ShAgfeaiy T\Tiinstone out of 

 Ashley Lady and whelped Apri^pis'l. Color black brindle. 

 Said to have a grand head, eSrs and eye, perfectly straight 

 legs, correct coat, a little on the large size being her only 

 noticeable fault. She is in whelp to Prince Alexander. This 

 bitch, with Culblean, Wankie Diana and Wankie Daisy, will 

 make a team of "Scotch lassies" that will make a stir at New 

 Y'ork. We spent a day at these kennels last week, "but that 

 is another storv. ' ' By the way, this kennel is ready to board 

 and condition and handle at the coming shows any dogs for 

 those who cannot afford the time to attend to this them- 

 selves. Mr. Green, the manager, is well known as a thoi-- 

 oughly responsible man in this respect. 



Field Trials in California. 



There is a movement on foot to establish another field trial 

 club on the Pacific coast, with an initiation fee of $30. They 

 propose to preserve a large tract of ground near San Fran- 

 cisco and stock it for field trial purposes. Should the Pacific 

 Coast Club hold their next trials at Ontario, Cal., as seems 

 probable, it is quite likely that there will be two trials held 

 in that State next year. 



Some time since we had occasion to refer to Mr. E. O. 

 Damon's young setter. The Laggard, which whs confidently 

 spoken of' by good judges of field form, like Major Murnan, 

 P H. Bryso'n, etc., as a coming crack. Now he is gone 

 —Mr. Damon advising us of his death by distemper. He 

 was of the same litter as Rod's Chaff', Rod's Sue and Dot 

 Rogers. Only two weeks ago in a run with Maiden Mine, 

 this dog outworked the bitch. Mr. Bryson, ^vho is known 

 as a thorough judge of field work, in a letter to Mv. Damon, 

 wi-ites: "I regret his loss, he was the best youngster I know 

 ofand'oneof the best I ever saw, he had fewer faults than 

 almost any dog I ever saw trained and would have made a 

 brilliant dog." Distemper was brought into Mr. Gilliam's 

 keimels by Mr. Bedford's dogs, but we cannot but imagine 

 there must have been some carelessness somewhere, and 

 owners and trainers should be more careful in admitting to 

 their training kemrels strange dogs suffering from cold. The 

 death of this dog is more unfortttnate as he would probably 

 have been the only representative from NeAv England in the 

 Southern trials. iMr. Damon has our sympathy. 



We called on Dr. Perry last Saturday and had an oppor- 

 ttmity to see his new book, iii the rough. The publication 

 now only awaits the completion of a few illtistrations, and 

 ■wdll be ready Feb. 18, and be on sale at the New Y'ork show 

 Feb. 31. The first glance through the book will show it is 

 ju.st Avhat the novice requires to gtude him in dog keeping 

 and breeding, for among other things it commences with the 

 bitch in season, .and accompanies her through all the trials 

 of maternity and then follows the pups to doghood. The 

 illustrations are particularly fine, there being in all about 96 

 pages of them. These tilone will be edttcational to the begin- 

 ner as Avell as some of the older hands. Take Irish l erriers, 

 for instance, on one page will be Messrs. Comstock's Dun- 

 murry, Ed. Wiener's Brickbat, Dr. J. H.Maro.st's Bredenhill, 

 and H. Benner's Stennfield A^ic. In bloodhotmds there will 

 be Mr. Brough's Burgundy. In pointers E. C. Norrish s 



Saddleback and J. E. L. Lloyd's Ilina are seen, Mrs. E. M. 

 Wilkin's Sky es Silver Queen, Carlo IlL and Burgundy, who 

 fill a page. Then the Scotch terriers W. W. Stillman's 

 Teazer and W. E. Adcock's Tlree are given. The fox-terrier 

 pages will be very interesting to lovers of the breed, where 

 Old Spice, BelgraA'e Joe (15 years old), Trap, Vesuvienne, 

 Venio and Vini are all illus'trated with capital pictures; 

 America being represented by Starden's King. Beverwyck 

 Punster and Ripon Stormer. The Irish water spaniels' page 

 has Sam Darbey's Tiverton Victor and Henry Hepworth's 

 Black Gypsey. In pugs, King of Diamonds, Mayor of Ijeeds, 

 Lord Clover and Bonsor are seen on One page. A particu- 

 larly charming picture is Mr. E. H. Adcock's great Danes 

 Ivanhoe and Dorothy, and another page is devoted to the 

 crack dog Hannibal. A head of the collie Wellesbourne 

 Charley is also a fine piece of work, and a study of mastiff 

 heads can be found in the picture of Orlando and Beaufort 

 heads. In fact, the very best do,gs on both sides of the water 

 are re-presented and placed with a due appi-eciation of rela- 

 tive size, so th.at the learner can see for himself the different 

 types and sizes of dogs. The head pieces are also peculiarly 

 applicable to the chapters that follow, many of them being 

 scenes taken from life at Dr. Perry's counti'y home, "Ash- 

 mont' ' intends to bring out three volumes. ' 'Kennel Secrets' ' 

 yyill be the first, and will be on management principally; the 

 next on "Diseases," and Vol. III. on "Training," and this will 

 combine, most of Mr. Waters's book. Thus "Ashmont" ex- 

 pects to coA-er the whole ground, and rest on his labors. Tlie 

 price of "Kennels Secl-ets" will be S3{ which is cheap enough. 



It has been subject for comment that the National Beagle 

 Club has not donated a special at the W. K. C. show. The 

 N. B. C. was notifled by the bencb shoAV committee a weelc 

 before they held their last meeting that unless they, the W. 

 K. G, were advised at once of the .specials they intended to 

 give they could not be accepted. For this reason it was too 

 late to do anything in the matter at the N. B. C. meeting 

 held Jan. 16. We can but think, however, that there Avas 

 some misunderstanding, as sijecials are continually being re- 

 ceiA'ed since the premium list was published. 



A fcAV members of the Duquesne Kennel Club met at the 

 Hotel Schlosser Jan. 20, but no business of importance was 

 transacted. It was agreed to continue the same club ofiicers. 

 There Avill be another meeting called to decide about holding 

 a shoAv this year. 



There seems to be no limit to the artistic endeaA^ors of some 

 of our breeders in getting up their catalogues. Mr. Jamieson 

 is now prepai'ing one Avhich will contaiii ten lialf-tone pic- 

 tures of his noted beagles. His dogs are all in good shape, 

 not an ailing one among the twenty-fiA-e beagles no\A- in his 

 kennel. Recently a rather peculiar 'accident happened to one 

 of his beagles. The dog seemed to haA'e a bad cough, and cle- 

 veloping all the signs of pneumonia was at once removed 

 from the others. He AA^as given all available remedies tor 

 tlie supposed malady and nourislicd Avitli vvwy dainty to 

 tickle his vs'auing apx^etite. He did not impro\'e, ho^A'eVer, 

 and wasted to a mere shadow, and after au illness of fiA^e 

 days went to happier hunting grounds. His kennelman in- 

 sisted on having the dog opened, and the autopsy reA^ealed a 

 piece of a tenpennynail about IJ-i in. long lodged in tlie 

 esophagus where it enters the stomach, or in medical terms, 

 the cardiac orifice. The nail was crosswise, and having 

 AA'orked down, the membrane was con.siderably lacerated. He 

 evidently starved to death, and the extreme irritation occa- 

 sioned the A-iolent coughing Avith which he Avas at times 

 afflicted. Though xirobably no one could have saved the dog 

 it is alAvays Avell in such cases to call in the ser\-ices of an ex- 

 perienced vet., Avho may at least be able to alleviate the dog's 

 sutt'erings even if lie did not divine the immediate cause. 



Our only German is tastiug the bitter these days. On Mon- 

 day he lost the fo.x-terrier hitch Warren Sparlcle Avhile Avhelp- 

 ing to their Grove I'ipster fBleiuton Rasper— Blemton Verity). 

 Tw-o or three pnpihes came, then one got crossed and the 

 effort to dislodge this one proved too much for the bitch, she 

 dying a few minutes after; several more pups Avere foufld in 

 her dead. 



Mr. E. M. Oldham Avill not thank the donor of the special 

 for the best-moving spaniel in the show. Judging the ordin- 

 ary classes at New York is cpiite enough, AA'ithout ijuttiiig 

 such a moA^ement on foot. 



Mr. Green, manager of the Wankie Kennels, and Mr. H. 

 Brooks, the in-oprietor, are dalibling a little in spaniels, haA^- 

 ing purchased from Mr. Bell two spaniels by Pekoe out of Rose 

 Palmer. They were bred by .1 . W. SpracUUn, of \^''oodstook, 

 Out. One will go as a field, the other as a cocker in the 

 puppy classes at New York. 



First boy — Is that a good watch dog? Second boy — No. 

 "Good bird dog:^" "Nope." "Good for rabtats?" "Nope." 

 "KnoAvs some cricks, maybe?" "Nixie." "What is he good 

 for?" "Nathin'j only to take prizes at dog shows. "— WoofZ 

 News. A pretty good fault, some people think. 



We do not think that there AviU be a very large entry of 

 Eastern dogs at Chicago, though, of course, some of the 

 regular handlers, such as Ben Lbaaus, will talce on a string. 

 The Duchess Kennels Avill also, probably, be on hand and 

 Frank F. Dole is also, we hear, going out with a few crates 

 full. Mr. W. C. Reick has donated a silver medal. A^alued at 

 .$25, for the best kennel of rough-coated St. Bernards entered 

 and owned by one exhibitor. 



We should ha.A'e acknoAA'ledged the receipt last week of 

 Mr. Rathbone's photographs of "Beverwyck Samples." 

 There are samples and samples, but to the lover of a terrier 

 we think those that Mr. Rathl)one sets up Avill take The 

 "Spratts." "Giving His Feet a Rest," "Work." "A Litrle 

 Scrap," "Rats!" and "Is This Bone Enoughr'" are all scenes 

 familiar to the terrier man, and Avonderfully Avell done. 



There was a poultry and dog show held at Lansing, Mich. , 

 .Jan. 17 tp 30, but although the stock exhibited was good, 

 especially the poultry, the attendance was poor and the shoAV 

 was a financial failure. 



Mr. D. E. Gurney, of Kansas City, Mo., owns a good cocker 

 in Man in Black, a son of Obo II. ex Mystery, a daughter of 

 Darkle. Mr. Gurney's dog came from Geo, Bell's kennels. 

 By the way, the latter blossomed out as a game fowl judge 

 at Gloversville, and was put up to decide the special for best 

 gamecock in the show. Mr. Bi^ll showed us a new cocker at 

 Gloversville that he kept at the hotel. This one is Realiza- 

 tion, and the blue ribbons our Canadian fi-iend expects to 

 take with it at the W. K. C, Avhere it Avill make its debut, 

 are only limited by the number of prizes it wUl go for. 



Mr. Phil Daly's Brookside Kennel of English setters and 

 pointers contains something like seventy dogs. Mr. Daly is 

 becoming quite a frequent exhibitor at shoAvs,"but A\'ith, so far, 

 indifferent success. 



A "pedigreed bulldog," Ave are told, was matched Jan. S5, 

 at Laramie, Wyo. , to kill a full-grown wildcat This AA-ould 

 seem a pretty large undertaking for the dog, but the latti:^r 

 succeeded in sending pussy "up a tree'' in three minute-;. 

 Another wildcat has been secured for another battle, but in 

 this one the police may take a hand. 



The English papers seem much amused at the tale of the 



dog and wolf fight in a Texas Aullage as related by a corres- 

 pondent to the Daily QrapMc. The Avolf OAvuer challenged 

 any dbg in the town to mortal combat, on the part of the- 

 wolf._ With the usual fixings the story Avinds up with^the 

 ferocious bull-dog, after "tasting" the very mild wolf, slink- 

 ing off and having no more to do with the fun, some mix- 

 ture ha.A'ing been put on the wolfs coat by its astute OAvner. 

 This must have occurred in a very new Texas toAvn, if it oc- 

 curred at all, which is doubtful, as the very aA erage ownet of 

 a "business" dog in a Texas tbwuAvould ibiOAv his business 

 better than to betaken in by any such "rank" fraud. 



The followmg specials given by the Bulldo.g Club at New 

 Y'ork were donated too late for the W. K. C. premium list: 

 A silA-er medal, A^alne $10, pi'esented by a member of the 

 Bulldog Club for the best bulldog or bitcli o\vued by a mem- 

 ber of the club resident in the Middle States; a sih-er medal, 

 value $10, presented by Mr. William Mariner, of Milwaukee, 

 Wis., for the best bulldog or bitch OAvned by a, member of the 

 club resident in the Nevv England or Southern States; the 

 Bulldog Club of England offer one of their silA"er medals for 

 the second best bulldog in the show of the same sex as the 

 winner of the grand trophy and OAvned by a member of the 

 American Bulldog Club; the Bulldog Club of America offer 

 a silver medal for best bulldog or bitch owned by an exhib- 

 itor, a non-resident of the United States. This makes 85 

 specials in all offered by this go-ahead specialty club. 



"Segusian," in Scottish Fancier, is generally local in his 

 AViitings or AA'e Avould have more to say of him. .Sometimes 

 he gets off a tid-loit, and here is the latest: "T\'hy is Millais 

 like a dog that chases its tail? Because he never' reaches his 

 conclusion." 



New Fox-terriers. 



Mr. H. W. Smith, AA'ho it is well knoAATi, has developed a 

 liking for fox-terriers, Avires in particular, has receiA'edhis 

 Daylesforil Broom from England, also a young bitch of the 

 oklClevelanfl breeding and wimier of two firsts at Notting- 

 ham when first shown. He has also bought the crack Avlre- 

 hair bitcl! in Kiigland. Slie is no\v in tlie challenge class, 

 but we can only guess at her name. Particulars are to fol- 

 low. He \\-anred something "wonderfully good," but the 

 best judges said the young stock Avas not up to the mark, so 

 he had to get the older one. He also bought a young dog 

 10 months old, Avinner only time shoAvn before sailing, of 

 three firsts, and all specials. He also -\vent to headquarters 

 and got from Mr. "Carlisle" C'arrick a "daidc" bitch, one of 

 his breeding, and said to be a cracicer. AA'ith this assortment 

 Mr. Smith should be able to repeat some of his old-time vic- 

 tories AAdi en he dabbled in_ greyhounds. He is also after a 

 real stunner as a stud dog, in England, aad if he succeeds in 

 getting it, Ave are told to lookout. 'I'his is all sub mm at 

 present, but we shall be able to give full parricniars in due 

 .season. There is no doubt that the Avi re-hairs are coming 

 along finely, and Avith importations like these the public Avill 

 soon be able to form an idea of Avhat the good ones are like. 



Mr. John Ferguson, late of Philadelphia, Pa., who owned 

 the Dandle Dinmont terrier Sir Robert, has gone to England 

 with no intention of returning. Before he went he sold Sir 

 l-iobert to Mr. Ed Brooks. Thus Mr. Brooks is prepared for 

 Geo. Raper in AA-hatever mood tlie latter may })c. It will be 

 remembered that Mr. Kaper last year pnfc Sir Robert over 

 King o' the Heather at Ne^v Yorl-:, l-Miil.-wielphia and Pitts- 

 burg. Mr. Brooks has also sent over to Mr. James C'larke, 

 of ]3ttinfries, for tAvo brood bitches to improve his stock, 

 (yitterhounds may also be found among his team of dogs 

 before long, as tfiree otters have been marked near his place 

 and Mr. Brooks's sporting instincts are aroused. Mr AVipsor, 

 of Philadelphia,, Pa., now owns Laird o" the Ifeather, that 

 Mr. Brooks imported this List siunaior, tin- l.-itter iiMA'ing 

 presented the Dandie to lii I u. and Mr. WiiiKor is so pleased 

 with the dog that he has bi-come a Dandie man and Avants a 

 bitch or tAvo noAv. There is an old scriptural text about cast- 

 ing your "bread upon the waters" that fits very applicably 

 in some of the new breeds in this country. 



We understand that in Mr. Austin Corbin'f? Park, in New 

 Hampshire, the wild boars are multiplying, .and to keep 

 them doAA U Mr. Corbin intends to have some boar hunting. 

 To this end he has imported about a dozen young boar- 

 hounds from Germany and is anxious to have sonie gen- 

 tlemen take part in the hunt with him, so we AA'ere told 

 Avhile in Boston. Wild boar hunting is pretty risky busi- 

 ness, but it must be great sport, as each, have an equal 

 chance. Who ku ows but pig-sticking may become a, fashion- 

 able sport in this country. . .- 



Mr. W. E. Iselin, of the Westchester Countv Club, ha.s 

 established a pack of beagles and promises to" show some 

 sport. The country round is being stocked ^\ ith jack rabbits 

 and English hares. There is said to be much impatience for 

 the opening of the season. We don't iinow liow jack rabbits 

 and beagles will mix. For our oAAm pai-t we fancy they Avill 

 keep far apart, and afford j)lenty of exercise for those Avho 

 follow. 



Among the new business in our Kennel columns Ave find 

 that Meadow City Kennels offer English sotier stock for .sale: 

 A. Armstrong, trained Irish settei'T J. 11. Lyke. Kingstoii 

 Regent puppies; H. Benton, young spaiuol; H. G. Thompson, 

 pug pups: Silas Decker, Irish setters and collies; 2-1 East 

 Twelfth street, English settei-s; Tliasmu Keunitls, fox-terrier 

 pups; Rociielie Kennels, fox-terriers and Ncwd'oundlands. In 

 the stud— Meadow City Kennels' English setters The Corsair 

 and Rod's Chaff; ChaiiottesvUle Kennels' pointer Exile; 

 Thasmo Kennels' fox-terrier Hillside Tarrpiin. NeAv York St! 

 Bernard Kennels want foster mothers. \Ye also draw atten- 

 tiim to the new publication, "Kennel Secrets," by "Ash- 

 mont," Avhioli will be issued shortly. Also the advertisement 

 of the Keystoui! and M;iryland kennel clubs' show. Iji this 

 issue will also be found the merits of Biichan's Soan and 

 Wash fully set forth. 



At the Somerset Club Ave met several of the New England 



Field Trial Club members and the prospects for the next 

 ti'ialsAvere talked over. The trials will probably bo held 

 much earlier this year; Oct. 15 is spoken of. The idea at 

 present is to hire one of the farmhouses oji the preserve and 

 fit up rooms where judges, memljers ot the press and ofiicers 

 of the club, etc., will have quarters, and the catering be 

 properly atieuded to on the hotel or club principle. Specta- 

 tors and the crowd can make such arrana,ements as they re- 

 quire. This is to aA'oid the ToAAm Hall m usance and the 

 necessity for those barges and their grasping proprietors. 

 The stakes Avill be materially increased and probably pointer 

 and setter stakes made, as at the Central trials. There seems 

 to be a feelmg that if the new Beagle Field Trial Club 

 formed last \^'eek will agree to it, the New England Field 

 Trial Club Avould like them to join issues and the trials be 

 given by the latter club. There is a good deal in this. Bet- 

 ter prizes, for instance, and such a move would, we think 

 benefit beagle interests in Ncav England. ' 



New England Beagrle Trial Club. 

 The preliminary steps toAvards forming this club were 

 taken on Thursday eA-eniu.g, .June 26, at Y^oung's Hotel, 

 There Avere present Messrs. F. W. Chapman, B. S. Turpin' 

 W, S. O.a-rke, H, S. Brown and the FoREST AXr Stream 

 representative. After deciding ujion tlie name, the constitu- 

 tion and by-laws vA-ere adoptefl, in some respects diff'erinrj- 

 rom those of the National Beagle Club. No permanent offj- 

 ^ers were elected, iDut this Avill be done in due season by mail
