FOREST AND STREAM. 



fMARCH 9, 1898, 



is Prudence, by Forest Boy out of Liady Lee, and so is litter 

 sister to Butterfly and Forest Hunter. At New York Pru- 

 dence won tliird and was thought to be superior to the 

 second by several breeders. 



Mr. Hobbie, now that he has had his meteoric fiig:ht 

 through the bull-terrier and bulldog fancies, is talking quite 

 earnestly of going into "shipwrecks," or tu common par- 

 lance schipperkes. At the same time, we can scarcely give 

 credence to such a tale. 



We note among our new ads. this week the following offers 

 for sale: Pointers: Albany Pointer Kennels, C. A. Paetzel, 

 H. D. Weeks. Setters: Glendyne Kennels, R. H. Burr, M. 



A. Hanchett, Redstone Kennels. Wanted: Position as man- 

 ager by W. G. Martin, house dog by T. J. Fox. The Wood- 

 lawn Kennels offers the services of the Greyhound Lord 

 Neverstill at stud, and the St. Lawrence Kennels the services 

 of the cocker spaniel Prince W. 



Dachshunds at Boston. 



Editor Forest and Stream,: 



Through your columns I would beg to call the attention of 

 all breeders and exliibitors of dachshunds to the very liberal 



Eremium list of the Boston show for this breed. Four classes 

 ave been provided and I have every reason to believe a puppy 

 class will be added. Furthermore, the daclishund challenge 

 cup, value $350, and sweepstakes will be competed for at this 

 show. The conditions governing this cup have been some- 

 what changed, so that only American bred dachshunds can 

 compete. 1 trust that this breed will be well supported by all.

Breeding of Antevolo, 



Editor Forest and Stream: 



In your report of Southern Field Trial All-Age Stake you 

 report Antevolo, winner of second money, as being by Count 

 Noble out of Gladstone's Girl. This is a mistake, she is by 

 Count Noble— Trinket II. In justice to Trinket II. and 

 breedei-s of Antevolo, Messrs. T. F. Taylor, Chas. E. Bruner 

 and Ben T. August, of Eichmond, Va., I ask you to please 

 make the correction. Antevolo is now with Gladstone's 

 Boy, and her dam. Trinket II., is in whelp to Antonio. We 

 expect extra field trial pups from this breeding.

Working Spaniels. 



Editor Forest and Stream: 



Occasionally we read in your paper a few lines fi-om J. Otis 

 Fellows on cocker spaniels, and I, for one, -with much interest. 

 Last week he mentions a cocker bitch that had 392 birds 

 killed over her. Now, as an admirer of spaniels, I would 

 like some of the readers of FOKEST A^T> Streajm who hunt 

 their spaniels to give their experience in the held. We have 

 all read the wouderful performauce of setters and pointers. 

 Now let us hear from the spaniel men. COCKEB.

ANSWERS TO CORRESPONDENTS. 



Tlie.re is no charge for answering questions under this head. All 

 questions relating to ailments of dogs will be answered by Dr. T. G. 

 Sherwood, a member of the Royal College of Veterinary Surgeons. 

 Communications referring to other matters connected with Kennel 

 Management and dogs mill also receive careful attention. 



J. A. W., N. Y.— Can you give me the sire and dam of Polo, a St. 

 Bernard dog, who w.i.s the sire of Dido"? Ans. 'We cannot find that 

 this dog was ever registered. 



J. M. Odwekny.— Should sav the Cincinnatus— Toledo Blade pup, 

 Monk of Furness stock, has not been tried much. The Enghsh setter 

 is considered the best at piresent. 



W. J. S., New York City.— My dog has had a twitching in his hmd 

 leg. He is now about helpless; does not seem to get worse or better, 

 but Is gradually growing weaker. Ans. See reply to R. W. S. 



G. C, Providence, R. I.— I have noticed in the discharges of my 

 dog— an English setter, white worms from a half to three-quarters of 

 an inch in length. Will you kindly teU me the best way 6o treat lum. 

 Ans. Use au.v of the advertised worm remedies. 



H. D. W.. Jlilfoi-d, N. Y.— Is there any law in this State exemptuig 

 dogs and bitclies that are registered and kept for breeding and show 

 purposes from taxation? You will confer a great favor if you can 

 answer this. Ans. There is no such law at present. 



A. H. D.. Kansas City, Mo.— 1. We do not know where you cay buy 

 Welsh collies. Their value compared to Scotch collies aU depends on 

 training. Write to Mr. W. Wade, Hulton, Pa., on the subject. 2. We 

 know of no book that treats of cats or their training. 



E. W.— My setter dog had what looked like a water blister, conie 

 o his foreleg on the joint; 1 washed it with tar soap, now it looks 

 as if a piece of the skin and llesh had been cut out; how shall I treat 

 it? Ans Apply a little zinc ointment and bandage daUy. 



The Senate, 'Waterbury, Conn.— The pointer Beaufort -was not a 

 field trial winner. He only appeared once in field competition, but 

 was considered at the tune a good worker. 2. The only held trial 

 winner he sired was Belle B., second, Puppy Stake, Western trials, 

 Abeline, Kan., 1885. We have only pubUc records to go by, and must 

 therefore say no. 



E. L. B., Belvidere, N. J.— My cocker spaniel pupy, six months 

 old, has swellings on his belly that seem to be like httle cups in the 

 flesh, get mattery and then somethmg hke a large wart comes out 

 which is also inclined to discharge. Have done nothing for him as 

 they do not seem to be sore but they are increasing. Has about ten 

 m all, of different sizes. Ans. Without an examination we cannot 

 very well advise you. Take the dog to a vetermary surgeon. 



H. C. S., New York City.— WiU you kindly give us the meaning and 

 exjilanation of the term Imown in dog-breaking as the "Force System. 

 Ans. It is a term limited m its appUcation to the punishing method of 

 teaching retrieving, which is taught by forcmg the dog to retrieve 

 from feai- of punishment caused by the spike-collar, whip or nose 

 pinching. It is a misleading term since kindness and patience m 

 teaching are important factors in teaching by this or any other 

 method. 



J. R. P., Waterfcown, N. Y.— Will vou have the kindness to prescribe 

 for my Gordon setter dog, lyi'. old. First showed distemper about 

 one niouth ago. Gave two one-teaspoon doses of sulphur, which 

 seemed to check the distemper. Kept him in warm pen, but his eyes 

 are not right. Pupils m-e very much enlarged, and under the aclvice 

 of an eve doctor have been giving smaU doses of arsenic, but -without 

 favorable results, also used an eye lotion. What would you advise? 

 Ans. Keep the dog warm and quiet. Give one dessertspoonful ot 

 svrup of hypophosphites three tunes a day. The pupils bemg en- 

 larged is due to the eye lotion you ai-e using. 



K. W. S., Tate, Ga.— Ihave a young pointer dog 8mos. old which I 

 purchased in Michigan; when he got here he was just getting over the 

 distemper and apparentlv came out all right; he looks all right every 

 way. has a ravenous appetite, but his food don't seem to do him any 

 good; he is very poor and don't seem to gain m hesh at all, and Inotic 

 occasionaUy when he stands stm that his body qmvers all over, as I 

 would express it, teeters up and down, and he acts occasionally as 

 though he was .weak in the hutdparts. His hindlegs don t seem to 

 work right. I notice this more when he is playing with my other dogs. 

 Ans. Pi-obably chorea after thstemper. He may also have worms. 

 First treat for worms and tJien give him the following nuxture:

Tr. nucis vom 3i

since passed out of date. It does seem, however, as though the Ne\!( 

 York Y. C. was destined this year to repudiate almost every positioi 

 which it has taken in the past in connection with international racing. 

 For some years the club has labored diligently to retain the right, or 

 more properly the power, in spite of the obvious unfahuess of such a. 

 course, to meet a 70ft. vessel with one of 90ft. Not only was the new 

 deed framed with that object in 'view, but as long ago as 1880, jus! 

 after the Pm-itan-Genesta races, an amendment was quietly sUpped 

 into the racing rules providing that the estabUshed classification oi 

 the club should be inoperative in the cases of all chaUenge cups, thu^ 

 preventing a possible objection on the part of a challenger to the 

 effect that he must be met by a boat from his own class. When 

 Lord Dunraven's first challenge was accepted in 1892, ^ 

 motion was made before the club to the effect that he should be met 

 with a yacht of the same size as Valkyrie, 70ft., but it was promptly 

 smothered before a vote could be taken by the arbitrary and absuTfC 

 ruling of Com. Gerry. The words of the present Cup Committee, 

 though applied to the trial and not the Cup races, exactly fit the case, 

 and if the club indorses and accepts them it not only admits the un» 

 fairness of its course in the past, but establishes a precedent which 

 must apply to all future Cup races. The committee says: "A senslr- 

 ble equality in size wotdd be most conducive to the interest and suit- 

 able to the importance of the coming international contest, and would, 

 by minimizing the always objectionable element of time allowance, 

 conform to the spu-it of the deed of trust." If this is so. and what? 

 fair-minded yachtsman will dispute it? it is the strongest possible 

 condemnation of the plea made by a similar committee in 1889, com^ 

 posed in part of the same men, that it was the "duty" of the club toj 

 defend the Cup by putting the 85ft. Volunteer against the 70ft. Val- 

 kyrie. 



The fifth annual sweepstakes of the Corinthian Y. C, of New York 

 promises to be one of the most interesting yet sailed, as the entries o£ 

 at least three Soft, yachts are practically assured. In one way thei 

 contest will be hardly more exciting than the splendid race of 3890 

 between Minerva and Gossoon at the time when the rivjdry between 

 Fife and Burgess was at its height, but the imposing size of the neya 

 class, with sail plans far exceeding anything ever seen on single stick 

 vessels, unless possibly the old Maria, lends an aiiditional element of 

 interest to a contest which, wth two Herreshoff boats, one a keel and 

 one a eenterboard, and a Paine fin-keel, will be exciting from itg 

 technical merits. The Corinthian sweepstakes is no longer an ex- 

 periment, but an established institution in the yachting world. 



What with the early races of Valkyrie 2 in her home waters an4 

 the possible presence of Navahoe in the trial races on this side aftel 

 her try for the Royal Victoria and the two Bennett cups, some strange 

 combinations of winning and losing are possible, and the question o< 

 the standing of one vessel or the other a.s a ''representative" yacht 

 very Ukely to come up, as it has in the past in England. Before at} 

 tempting to decide whether a given yacht can fairly claim the title o: 

 representative, it may be well to decide the exact meaning of tJfl 

 term, which has thus far been used very loosely by yachtsmen. 

 cording to the common usage, a representative yacht is one which ha| 

 shown an unquestioned superioi-ity over aU her feUows; but apar) 

 from this meaning being incorrect, it is unsatisfactory in that it give 

 rise to endless cUsputes. As we imderstand the term it is of mud 

 ■wider application, and includes every product of a recognized ani 

 successful designer, such as Herreshoff, Watson or Fife, regardless 0 

 success or failure, unless the yacht is manifestly an exi^erirnent. T( 

 Ulastrate, Wasp, after the success of Qloriana, was most certainly 

 representative yacht, the representative American yacht of last yeat 

 and no defeat or failure could have altered her standing. In the sanflij 

 way the forty foot fleet built by Mi-. Burgess in 1889 and '90 were nc* 

 mei-ely nominally but actually representative of the latest and bea 

 work of America's leacUng designer; the Gossoon, the most successfW 

 of the lot, having under the circumstances even less claim to the titlj 

 thtm some of the unsuccessful ones. In the case of a yacht by any Cf 

 the less known designers it may be necessary for her to show h^ 

 quality in racing before she can claun to be truly a representative q 

 the national fleet; but in the case of a Herreshoff or Watson boat si 

 is of necessity a representative. The new Navahoe stands as tii 

 latest conception of the recognized leader among American designer^ 

 and should she be defeated abroad and later at home, it will show 

 very pioor spirit if she be repudiated as not a representative of tb 

 American fleet. The same apphes to Valkyrie 2. She comes here a 

 the latest work of the designer of Queen Mab, the best that Grea 

 Britain can produce to chaUenge for the Cup. 



Fogg says lie shotild like to see a man 'svho, lovLug his 

 neighbor as himself, is as considerate of his neighbor's dogs 

 as of his own hens.—Bostaii Transcript. 



There is something extremely amusing in the flutter which has 

 lately disturbed some New York yachtsmen in consequence of the 

 rumor that Gen. Paine was to be in the fight ui)t ouly ^Titb a fin-keel, 

 but with one of but 70ft. waterllne: and, as the story went, with the 

 over-all length and sail plan of Volunteer. The prospect uf giving 

 time to such a terrible creation actually sent the cold chills down the 

 backs of some members of the New York sjmdicates, and they were 

 on pins and needles uutd ''Commodore" James I>. Smith had po.sted 

 off to Boston and secured Gen. Paiue's word tliathe would not do any- 

 thing so shocking, but would build to ihe speciiied limit of 85ft. Even 

 with the immediate danger removed the matter \vas considered so seri- 

 ous that the committee was moved to issue a special eircidar warning 

 all smaller yachts off the course, so to speak. 



In itsdf tiie dedsion of the committee is a fsur and sensible one, and 

 a complete indorsement of the contention long urged by Fobest and 

 Stream, that the matching of vessels of widely different siies has long 



A NOTABLE instance of the unfair use of the term is found in th 

 treatment of Galatea by British yachtsmen aftei' Lieut. Heim's pluck 

 fight for the Cup m 1887: she being repudiated as not being a fittia 

 representative of the British fleet after it was made plain that she wa 

 not only unsuccessful here but slower than Irex at home. The wh 

 ning boat of the class in 1881 was Genesta, she scoring more wins tha 

 the other new boat, Irex. Her designer. Mr. J. Beavor Webb, aftt 

 the success of Freda, Tara and Genesta, ranked among the first thri 

 or four British designers. Galatea was designed by him to be; 

 Genesta, but, as events proved, she was never anywhere near the la 

 ter boat, whUe Irex was so much improved by O'Neil's tender mini 

 trations before her second season, that she was unquestionably tl 

 fastest of the thi-ee. Under the circumstances, however, considerit 

 that the entu-e expenses of the unsuccessful expedition were borne I 

 Lieut, Henu, and that his conduct here both in making a pluckj- flgl 

 and bearing defeat bravely, reflected the highest credit on the male 

 he represented, it would have been far more gracious in his countr 

 men to have accepted Galatea's failure in the same spirit that he di 

 and to have said nothing of the superiority of Irex, It ought to 1 

 clearly undei-stood on both sides before the two yachts cross tl 

 Atlantic that each party has done its best to insure success, and th< 

 m the event of failure he may be sure of the sympathy of his feUo 

 yachtsmen at home, who share with him neither the labor, the respo 

 sibihty nor the heavy expense of upholding the national credit. 



The Trial Races. 



The America Cup conmiittee of the New York Y. C. has issued t 

 foUowing circular: 



"The America's Cup committee of the New York Y. C. annount 

 the foUowing addendum to their circidar dated Feb. 1, 1893, bei 

 specially explanatory of the committee's views as to the selection ol 

 vessel to defend the Amei'ica's Cup. 



■'WhUe it appears technicaUy necessary that the trial races shall 

 open to vessels within dimensions on the load waterline pHDssible unc 

 the terms of agreement, namely, between 05 and 867-lOft., thecomn; 

 tee consider that a reasonable approximation to the length on the loi 

 waterline of the challenger is an element of paramount importar 

 in the vessel to be chosen as the representative of the New York Y. 



■A sensible equality in size would, in the judgment of the conm 

 tee, be most conducive to the interest, and suitable to the importan- 

 of the coming international coniest; woifld insure a more reUable 1 

 render of the Cup vmder all conditions of weather, and would, by vo' 

 imizing the always objectionable element of time allowance, confo: 

 to the spirit of the deed of trust. 



'■In justice and fahness to intending competitors in the trial rae 

 the eoniniittee would respectfuUy warn them that a deficiency of o^: 

 5 or Oft. in the load waterline length of any vessel, as compared w 

 that of the challenger, will almost certainly preclude the selection 

 such vessel by this committee tor the defence of the America's Cup 



"In conclusion, the comiuirtee wotfld announce that, by a.i'reem 

 with Lord Dunraven. manual power onlj- shall be permJited for wo 

 ing the competing vessels m the race for the Cup, and that the sa 

 proviso wiU apply to the tiial races."
