 pins are very handsome and well worth Tvinning, Dr. J. 

 Frank Perry steps to the front with the Ashmont trophy, 

 full particulars and conditions for which have not been fully 

 determined, but so far it is for the best dog in Mr. Mason's 

 classes, and is a challenge trophy. There has been a whisper 

 to the effect that Mr. Wilmerding might not be able to be on 

 hand to judge the spaniels, but Mr. Watson says that Mr. 

 Wilmerding has so arranged matters that he will positively 

 be on hand. The Spaniel Club donation of $15 has been 

 divided into three specials of $5 each for the best braces of 

 field, black cocker and other color cocker spaniels. Regard- 

 ing transportation facilities, Adams and tJie United States 

 Express companies will return dogs free to original shippers 

 and the Trunk Line Association has passed the customary 

 resolution permitting three dogs fi-ee accompanied by care- 

 taker on all railroads in the Association. Entries close Fri-

Mr. Albert 1^. Sch^nz wi-itSs interestingiv in tht* iVtilwaukee 

 Sentiinel on the merits of the dogs in Alttska. He recently 

 headed an expedition through that almost unknown region. 

 In his remarks he says: "The Esquimau dog, from his birth 

 to his death, which in many instances is a violent one, never 

 knows the luxury of shelter or a bed. He spends his existence 

 outdoors, and appears to be far more comfortable in winter 

 than in summer. The pups, when hardly able to toddle, in- 

 stinctively show an ambition to run with sleighs, and join 

 with their treble squeals the enthusiastic chorus of howls with 

 which the Esquimau dog invariably greets the first fall of 

 snow. The Esquimau dog never "barks. The ambition of 

 the young dogs is soon taken advantage of by the Esquimaux. 

 The little fellows are hitched to sleds in company with the 

 full grown dogs, and to prevent them from being run 

 over they are tied by the neck to the towline so that when 

 the run starts they are compelled to keep up or be dragged 

 by the team . This simple, though brutal, method of training 

 is very effective, and after one or two runs the young dog 

 understands what is wanted of him. Even before' he is full 

 grown he is thoroughly conversant with his duties. The 

 much-referred-to intelligence of the Scotch collie, which is a 

 .sort of first cousin of the Esquimau dog, is, undoubtedly, 

 even surpassed by that of his Arctic relative. Some of the 

 characteristics of the Esquimau draught dog are almost in- 

 credible. Any one who has observed them finds it difficult 

 to deny hini the credit of reasoning power. He had one dog 

 which persisted in feigning lameness or sickness in order 

 to shirk duty. He woiild suddenly begin to limp dreadfully 

 and look back at his driver with a most pitiable expression. 

 He succeeded several times in arousing his sympathy and 

 being released from harness, until one of the Esquimaux as- 

 sured him that it was all trickery. After he punished him 

 whene\-er he tried to shirk, and in every case it M^ould be days 

 before any sign of lameness would be seen. He had a trick 

 of slipping out of the harness in which he was an expert, and 

 made his escape from the ropes in a manner which would 

 make a spiritualistic medium ^reen with envy. This dog, 

 though, shirking his work, had incurred the enmity of the 

 rest of they team, and they resented repeatedly his unwilling- 

 ness to nieet his part of the team's obligations. Mr. Schanz 

 saved him several times frorh the fierce onslaught of his 

 colleagues after he had run away from the sled." 



Southern Oregon hunters are mouiTdng the death of John 

 Griffin's famous bear dog Trailer, who died a natural death 

 a day or two ago. Trailer was the hero of more than a hun- 

 dred bear fights in the mountains of Southern Oregon, prin- 

 cipally in the Siskiyous. Griffin has kept a record of Trailer's 

 achievementSj and finds that he has caught 105 bears during 

 his life-time, including those treed, brought to bay and run 

 into caves, where they were shot, besides catching numerous 

 panthers, wildcats, &e.— Cincinnati Enquirer. 



At the Washington (D. C.) dog show, to be held March 14, 

 15, 16 and 17, the following judges have been appointed and 

 each has accepted. Major J. M. Taylor, of New York, mil 

 judge pointers, setters, beagles, foxhounds and Chesapeake 

 Bay_ dogs. Mr. Henry Jarrett, of Philadelphia, will judge 

 collies. Mr. James ISIortimer, of Hempstead, Long Island, 

 will judge all other classes. The do^ show committee state 

 that they have as fine a hall as there is in the United States 

 for the show. It covers one acre of ground. 



It is not often that the married women's rights enter into 

 the question of a dog deal. Many of the wives are only too 

 glad, we regret to say, to get rid of the dogs. Recently, 

 however, in England a Mrs. Mackey exercised her perogative 

 under the Married Women's Property Act to question the 

 legality of the sale of a mastiff by her husband to a well 

 kno\vn exhibitor, Mr. Cunningham. She claimed the dog 

 as her own, and brought action for its recovery. The de- 

 fendant held to his guns, or rather, the dog, and when 

 the case came to court was given judgment owing to the 

 non-appearance of the plaintiff, and thus a very interesting 

 trial was nipiied in the bud. 



Liverpool dog show had 1,330 entries, which included 300 

 collies, 133 Irish terriers, 108 smooth fox-terriers and 81 

 Welsh terriers, a breed almost unknown here; 47 Dandle 

 Dinmonts -wdll also be on hand, and the Russian wolfhounds 

 are also specially well filled. 



At Cruft's show, which mil take place at Agricultural 

 Hall, London, Feb. 8 to 10, there are no less than 543 classes. 

 During this show the late Mr. Burbidge's fox-terriers mil 

 be sold at auction. There are something like 100 of them, 

 which include some of the cream of the fancy. The Field 

 (London) says that never before has such a fine kennel of 

 fox-terriers been placed on the market at one time. 



In our last issue we advised our readers of the formation 

 of a kennel club at Saratoga. This week we are enabled to 

 give further particulars of the officers. There must be a 

 number of dormant fanciers all through these northern New 

 York towns and such clubs will do more to advance kennel 

 interests than even the large shows given in the principal 

 cities. We note a number of names of members of the Mo- 

 hawk Valley Association in the new club, but trust that 

 this does not mean the disorganization of the older club. 



The place 'at Fordham that Mr. Reick has purchased is 

 the old ' polo club house, owned ^by James Gordon Bennett, 

 and which was once a favorite resort for the Belmonts, 

 Lorillards and other siiortsmen a few years ago. There is a 

 club house on the grounds and this will be altered for Mr. 

 Reick's residence.

aEPTESIBEK. 



N. Y. T. R. A., An., N. Y. Bay. 



Com. Obrrt's term of office as conunodore of the New York Y. C., 

 which ended last week, is the longest in the history of the club, as he 

 has served for seven consecutive seasons. That the club has been 

 successfid under his administration is fully proven by its membership 

 and financial cou(Ution, but at the same time it is certain that he has 

 not been an unmixed blessing to it. 



A perfect disciplinarian, lilieral in his e.x;penditures and lavish in his 

 hospitality, he has shown to yachtsmen how perfectly a steam yacht 

 may be run ; and in eticiuctte, disciphne and cuisine the Electra has 

 been a model flag.ship. 



Of his devotion to what Le believed to be the interests of the club, 

 nothing adverse can be said; but unfortunately his views have been 

 narrow and partisan in the extreme, while his discipline has extended 

 to the club meetings, where it has been time and again used to pre- 

 vent free discussion and to silence a free expression of opinion on the 

 part of the members at large. The measures that have been passed 

 during Ins incumbency have represented ideas of a small clique, and 

 not of the whole member.ship of the New York Y. C. 



The chief of these measures is the obnoxious new deed of gift, for 

 whose inception Com. Gierry is largely responsible, as well as for its 

 continued existence in spite of general condemnation within and with- 

 out the club. One of the chief beauties of this do(nunent is that it 

 (3arries down the name of Elbridse T. Gerry to future generations of 

 yacditsmen as the bona fide deed cai-ries the names of John C. and 

 Edwin A. Stevens. 



Apropos of Com. Gerry's retirement, it is amusing to read that he 

 declined a 'renomination when it was no secret at all last spring after 

 his ambitious attempt to set aside his fellow Qag officers, Messrs. Mor- 

 gan and Duncan, that he could never again become commodore of the 

 club. 



It is a long while since the New Y'ork Y. C. has enjoyed the advan- 

 tage of having an active sailorman for its chief oflQcer. Com. Gerry's 

 predecessor had won a reputation in the old schooner racing days, but 

 when last elected he and his ship were both abroad, and his personal 

 interest in the club was consequently weakened, though he very Uber- 

 ally bore half the expense of a Cup defender, and crossed the ocean to 

 be present at the races. The new commodore, Mr. E. D. Morgan, while 

 complying with a fixed though unwritten law of the club in that he in 

 and has long been the owner of a large steam yacht, iiossesses the ad- 

 ditional qualification of being a thorough yachtsman and a keen sailor- 

 man, foremost in buUdingand racing sailing yachts. AA'ithhim are as- 

 sociated two representative members of the sailing element of the 

 club, Messrs, W, Butler Duncan, Jr., of the cutter Huron, and Ralph 

 N. Ellis, of schooner Iroquois. Under such a trio of flag offlcers, the 

 club may confidently look for less law and red tape and more salt 

 water and fair sport. 



We pubUsh the full report of the measurement committee, but arc 

 obliged to defer all comment on it to next week. 



Mb. Astoe's offer of cups promises an interesting meeting of the 

 three Cup defenders, probably their fh'st, the only diflflculties being that 

 they may not all be ready at the date set, while their presence at New- 

 port may conflict with the rendezvous and start of the club cruise a 

 few days later. 



The New York Times of Jan. 30 contains a long and carefully- 

 written article on the new deed of gift and the relations of the New- 

 York Y. C. to the America's C!up. The ch'cumstances under which 

 the trophy was first established, and the various changes in the con- 

 ditions since made by the club are recounted, and the fact to which 

 we have frequently called attention, that the "mutual agreement 

 clause" has existed from the first, though practically ignored by the 

 club, is brought out very fully. The Times points out the absm'dity 

 and inconsistency of the present interjiretation of the same clause, 

 and also the patent fact that in accepting an informal challenge from 

 an individual, accompanied by no dimensions, the club has disregarded, 

 the last wishes of Mr. George L. Schuyler and has violated the con- 

 ditions of the new deed while pretending to uphold them. The article 

 concludes with a strong appeal for the repudiation of the new deed 

 and the restoration of the original and legal deed under which the Cup 

 was first given to the yacht clubs of the world. 



The best news of the week is that Boston will be fittingly repre- 

 sented in the trial races next September, and that by no syndicate, 

 but by a yacht owned by Gen, Paine. The new defender has been de- 

 signed by John B. Paine, son of the General, and will be built by 

 Lawley & Co., the only difficulty now in the way being that of obtain- 

 ing the steel at once, an the yacht must be commenced immediately. 

 Gen. Paine has before this announced his intention not to build, but as 

 no other boat was forthcoming from the East he has taken hold 

 again, though not to the same extent as in previous years, as the ne-n' 

 yacht will be in his son's name and the latter will design and sail her. 

 At the same time she wUI benefit by Gen. Paine's long experience in 

 the three earlier Cup defenders. 



The retu'ing president of the New York Yacht Racing Association. 

 Com. A. J. Prime, has held the office since the Association was organ- 

 ized in 1889 ; and its great success is due in no small measure to his 

 untiring energy. The scheme of such a' union of the clubs about 

 New York was long a pet one with Com. Prime, and the fact that it 

 had been repeatedly tried and always had failed did not deter him 

 from malcing a new attempt, audit was largely through his efforts that 

 the present organization was formed. The task of uniting many con- 

 flicting interests ^vas no small one, but it has been accomphshed suc- 

 cessfully, and the New Yoi'k Yacht Racing Association is now a com- 

 pact, prosperous and permanent body. 



The proposal made at the meeting to charge entrance fees was for- 

 tunately defeated, as if carried it would probably have decreased ma- 

 terially the entries in a race that has become one of the chief events of 

 the season for tlie smaller yachts. Under the i^resent system the As- 

 .socUuloM is able to start over a laimlred yadits ia its Labor Day re- 

 gatta: aiJil Ibis being the case, it would be poor jjolicy to inaugurate a 

 ch.ange \A'hose possible benefits ^re so doubtful.
