A meeting of the N". E. K. C. was held on Thursday even- 

 ing last and the prospects for the coming show were talked 

 over. The premiums in many ijf the clas ses will be advanced, 

 and nearly every breed will have four prizes. The judging 

 question will be the next to decide and there may be some 

 new faces seen in the ring. 



Little .Johnny — Dogs don't need to talk, 'cause any one can 

 understand their bark. Visitor — Can you? Little Johnny — 

 Easy as rollin' off a log. When my dog is at the door and 

 harks, that means he wants to get in; if he's inside the door 

 and barks, that means he wants to get out. A^'i.sitor — Humph! 

 Suppose he is half inside and half outside and bai-ks, what 

 does that mean? Little Johnny — That means that there's a 

 bigger dog than him in our yard. — Good Nevjs. 



For Sale— A ball-terrier dog, two years old. Will eat any-

Loop, Broken Bow, Neb.— My bitch (English setter) four years old 

 has been bred twice, the last time in August, 1892. For the past two 

 months she has acted hke a bitch in heat and would allow any dog to 

 cover her. Once, I am sure she has been fast. Am obhged to keep 

 her separate from the males in my kennel. The vagina is of normal 

 size but seems hard and slightly inflamed. Can you suggest a remedy 

 Ans. Syrmge out the vagina twice daily with a solution of bi-chloride 

 of merem-y, (one part of bi-chloride to 5000 parts of water). Do not use

The Cape catboat Eeine has lately reached Florida after a long 

 cruise, following in part the route of the Coot in 1885. She is 2.5ft. 

 long, and was built for Capt. Ai'thur Hayh, an English yachtsman who 

 has been for some time about Boston, being a member of the South 

 Boston Y. C. Captain Hayh has made the entire trip, from City Point, 

 Boston, to Florida, with one companion. After rounding Cape Cod a 

 stop was made at Osterville to repair the water tanks, and further de- 

 lay followed at Vine.yard Haven and Newport through bad weather. 



Leaving Newport with a, fair wind, which only lasted about an hour 

 before it hauled ahead with heavy rain, we had to put into Block 

 Island harbor : and from there to New York, with the exception of half 

 a day, we had constant head winds, and in spite of very early starts 

 made very slow progress. 



On reaching Throgg's Keek, with both head wind and tide, we were 

 hailed by a tugboat, which, after some bargaining, agreed to take us 

 to Bay Eidge for $7, which, when I found how far it was— about twelve 

 miles— I did not think excessive. 



We stayed in New York two weeks, Ij'ing at South Brooklyn, and 

 left there on Thursday, Oct, 2", at midda,y, anchoring at Perth Amboy. 

 Next da.y, Avith a fair tide but a head' wind, we beat up the Earitan 

 Eiver, reaching the flr.st lock at New Brunswick about 2 o'clock, and 

 as I was anxious to be getting on at once, I took a team of foui- mules 

 and started into the canal. 



The canal is forty four miles long from New Brunswick to Borden- 

 town. and we .got through the first ten miles by dai'k. Next day we 

 wei e fortunate in getting an obhging driver who, in consideration of a 

 promise of occasional liquid refreshment, was very careful, and in 

 starting out of the locks puUed the tow himself till we got started, 

 and got us to Bordentown in time to be locked out that night; other- 

 wise we should have had to remain over Sundaj'. I should advise any 

 one taking a boat through the canals to cover her, especially on the 

 starboard side where the towpath is, with a mattress or something of 

 the kind, as if you have to stop and get alongside the bank itis almost 

 impossible to avoid some friction untU you get headway. We left a 

 good deal of paint in the first two locks in spfte of three fenders, but 

 after that we got on all right. 



The scenery is uninteresting and Trenton is the only town you pass. 

 We had to .spend an hour there while the mules were fed; it seemed all 

 mills and dust, the latter filling the boat. I went ashore, and when I 

 was charged thirty -five cents for Si^lbs. of beefsteak and found it all 

 right I came to the conclusion that the place had at least the advan- 

 ta.ge of bein,g cheap. 



On Sunday we started down the Delaware, of course with a sti-ong 

 headwind, and reached Philadelphia that night. Starting earlj' next 

 morning, we were becalmed in the evening a few miles the other .side 

 of WUmington, and nest day, the wind being hght, we did not reach 

 the Delaware and Chesapeake Canal till evening. 



We came through next morning, it is only thirteen miles, with three 

 locks, and in some parts is quite pretty. It takes in some small lakes, 

 which, .iudging from the number we saw fishing, are full of fish. When 

 we got to Chesapeake City there was no wind arid the tide was rising, 

 so we waited until the tugboat came up in the evening and were towed 

 down. 



Next day we beat down, and as the weather looked verj' threaten- 

 ing, decided to make a harboi-, which we did in a small creek on the 

 east side of the bay, which forms an excellent harbor, as it is com- 

 pletely landlocked'. Once in, a N.W. gale made it impossible to get 

 out, even if we had wanted to, as the channel is crooked and narrow. 

 After the gale subsided we continued our cruise without special event 

 to Annapolis and Norfolk. 



The weather was quite rough, and our best, nm was from the Eap- 

 pahanock Eiver to Norfolk, aliout flf t.y miles, where we arrived early 

 in the afternoon of Nov. 12. We sta.yed until the 5th, when having 

 made arrangements with the towboat people, they sent a tu.g for us 

 in the afternoon and we started about 3 o'clock. It happened that 

 this was the only boat going tlu-ough that day, so we had the tug all 

 to ourselves and reached the canal a little after dai-lc 



It was a miserable evening and very dark. I hoped they would de- 

 cide to lie over till morning, but as the storm cleared off thev kept on 

 and we reached North Landing River about 4 A. M. I should advise 

 any one to wait and go through by day, even if it delays them a day 

 or two. The canal is narrow, and we had to pass several rafts of lum- 

 ber. It is diflficidt to avoid striking them. 



Cui-rytuck Sound and North River are fidl of snags. Pi-obably when 

 you are following a tow of schooners and barges you do not go fast 

 enough to take any damage, but when in North Landing River, near 

 where the tug di-opped us, we struck a sunken log which knocked a 

 hole thi'ough one of the planks. AVe did not find it out until we 

 anchored, and then as it was above the waterline, we were able to naU 

 a piece of canvas over it. The towing is cheap, for they only charge 

 $2 towage and $2 canal dues for 60 miles. 



Next day we had a stroke of luck; the captam of a tugboat with a 

 tow of barges going down the sound hailed us and said. "Tie on be- 

 hind," and he towed us along through Albemarle Souud'freeof charge 

 for 90 miles. The weather was warm, but the wind was very light and 

 it helped us along considerably. He dropped us in the evening of the 

 day foUoAving about 8 miles from Core Sound, and as it was quite 

 calm we got as near the land as we could and anchored for the night. 



About midnight it began to blow hard and in the morning we put in 

 five reefs and ran behind a .small point, getting our anchor down iust 

 in time, as for about three hom-s we had almost a hurricane. Weliad 

 to triLst to our anchors, which fortunately held. We could not cany 

 any sail and the sea got up very quickly, the wind went round several 

 points and the laud did not afford mucli protection. About the middle 

 of tlie day the wind freed a good deal and we got into Core Sound aU 

 right. 



Next day we had a fair wind through the sound. The latter is very 

 shoal and the channel is crooked, but fairly wide and well buoyed out. 

 We reached Beauport Inlet, N. C., at dark, but did not go up to the 

 tovm xmtil next day. There we were detained some days for repau's. 

 It was only half a day's job, but the first two days the workman was 

 doing something else, and then was so slow that it took nearlv a week 

 altogether. 



I intended to take a pilot there for Charleston and got one named 

 Youmans, who was recommended to me and who said himself that he 

 was really the only one who was acquainted with all the inlets. We 

 took Boyne Sound as far as Beaufort, and he showed his knowledge of 

 that by running us aground several times. The fii-st time he jibed 

 with very little sheet out and broke the boom, it took us aU we could 

 do for half an hour to get afloat, then considerably longer to patch up 

 the broken boom again with our awning poles. When we reached 

 Boyne Inlet he complained of being unwell and said he was not fit to 

 go any further, but promised to find a good pilot in Swansborough, a 

 small place close to. 



Next morning, as no one turned up and the wind was fair, we 

 started off alone and made New Topsafl Inlet that afternoon. Next 

 day we came to WrightsviUe Inlet and the day after to Corncake Inlet 

 which leads behind Cape Fear to Southport. We chd not feel very 

 comfortable at first, as the udets constantly change and for them the 

 charts are no good. There being but two of us we were short-handed 

 for sailing at night and made short time. 



Between Beaufort, N. C, and Charleston there are lots of good in- 

 lets all the wa3-, with plenty of water for light draft boats at any tide 

 so one can make easy mns. At Southport, N. C. we took a pilot for 

 Charleston and he was much more satisfactory than the first He was 

 one of the regular pilots there, but did not propose to know much 

 about the coast except around home. However, he was an extra 

 hand and w.ns quite wiUing to make himself generally useful 



AVe left Southport in the afternoon and reached Wingah Bay next 

 day ; there we were bacalmed two days. It is an out of the way place 

 with plenty of ducks and other game. I went out gunning in the 

 afternoon and succeeded in shooting a wild pig, which provided us 

 with some exceUent pork. From there we proceeded to Charleston 

 where we remamed for some days to have a boom made • ' 



Here we met a yacht boimd for Biscayne Bay, Florida, so we both 

 waited for a good chance to go outside: when the chance came we 

 found on reaching the mouth of the harbor, that it was thick outside 

 and blowmg fresh inside, so we let the other go on and took mside 

 route. It IS a good deal fm-tJier, but it is cert.ainly more interestmg 

 .;ind we came along very weU on the whole, though one afternoon' 

 instead of reaching Port Royal Sound as we intencled, we struck on a 

 mud flat (not on the chart), going high and ch-y tiU evening The 

 other boats seem to have had trouble with their pilots from Beaufort 

 N. 0. H any members of the club saU South they had better be care- 

 tul who they get there. Most boats get a pilot for Charleston as 

 they are supposed to know the way out of the different inlets vou 

 ruay have to make; but if one has a full crew he can do just as well 

 alone. I hope now, if we do not get on many more mud flats, to reach 

 Florida m ten days. It is reaUy lon.ger in a small boat than one can 

 imagine, though, of course, if there is a full crew who can relieve each 

 other one can make much better time.
