The Waterloo Cup. 



The wheel of time lias once more brought the Waterloo 

 Cup to the surface. Unlike the past few years, the result 

 has not created such enthusiasm this year, the factory of 

 Mr. J. Coke's Character being entirely unlooked for, his 

 previous performances having been little short of mediocre. 

 Col. North tempted fortune once too often, and as many 

 expected, the great Fullerton met his Waterloo, being thrown 

 out in his second round, and to Full Captain falls the credit 

 of having given him his first public defeat. Fullerton ran 

 gamely, but had lost his great speed, and at close quarters 

 could not spin about as of yore. He came more than one 

 cropper, once in a drain, but his heart was good and he ran 

 true as steel, but age told, and the other dog had the speed 

 and some points to boot when he made a clever kill. Regrets 

 for Fullerton were general, but it seemed almost a foregone 

 conclusion, though^^he was the favorite. Character had a 

 lucky time of it, as his hares were easy ones and the kills 

 came easy. His third round with Full Captain, however, 

 was won decisively, as he got well on to the hare and had 

 rolled up a nice score when Full Captain killed. In his 

 fourth course he had another moderate hare, and getting 

 Inside brought it round and killed right off. Character, in 

 his fifth course, came against a good one in Patrick Blue, 

 whose chances looked very rosy all through, but Character 

 drawing out from the slip led Patrick Blue a length and a 

 half, and scoring twice before Patrick Blue shot in, and 

 killing, lost his chance. In the deciding course with Bulton 

 Park, from the same kennel, but owned by Mr. T. Baxter, 

 Character came striding away from Bulton Park and led by 

 fully five lengths; he swung well with the hare, and, keeping 

 tight on the line, had moved puss twice when Bulton Park 

 made a rush, but Character kept his place and at once pulled 

 his game down . 



A remarkable Waterloo cup, says Land and Water, two 

 kennel companions and outsiders gorag to slips for a final. 



"It is something exceptional for a dog which has never been 

 winner of a stake to win -a. Waterloo cup, and it may be said 

 that Character, who is a second-season dog, ran unsixccess- 

 fully four times when a puppy." So little was he thought of 

 that about two months ago Mr. W. Ward could have bought 

 him for $125. Bulton Park, by .Jester out of Brampton, the 

 runner up, ran a good game dog. He went to slips quite 

 lame in the shotilder for the final, and was outplaced and 

 outworked. Mr. John Coke trained both dogs and it was a 

 great day for the Birkdale Kennels, the 1887 feat with 

 Herschel and Greater Scot being repeated, but in this in- 

 stance the stake was run out and Mr. Coke won with his 

 own dog. He wins quite a sum on the event, ha\'ing taken 

 1,000 to 15 in sovereigns twice. Among the dogs that ran 

 well : were Patrick Blue, Tasmania and Texture, the latter 

 having some hard courses every time and getting little as- 

 sistance in the earlier ones. On the second day hares were 

 so plentiful that forty -one courses were run ofi' without the 

 crowd having to make a move, and it was acknowledged to 

 be the finest day's coursing ever seen on the plains of Altcar. 



In the purse for the 32 dogs beaten the first round of the 

 cup Mr. W. A. Smyth's Sir Sankey, by Greentick, met Mr. 

 W. Ingram's Ivan the Great, by Greater Scot, at an advan- 

 tage in the final course, the latter having been hard run on 

 the day before, and won. For the Plate, for the 16 dogs 

 beaten in the fir.st ties of the Cup, the final should have been 

 between Mr. W. Thompson's Tasmania, by Restorer, and 

 Marquis of Anglesey's Annihilator, by Herschel, but the 

 stake was di'sdded, although it was almost a sure thing for 

 Tasmania. 



Character is by Halliday out of Mermaiden, and is a won- 

 derfully well bred dog, combining every quality that goes to 

 make a good all round greyhound. Through Canaradzo, 

 Chloe, King Death and Master McGrath he has the blood of 

 four Waterloo Cup winners in his veins. 



The Waterloo Cup is for all ages, at £25 each; winner £500, 

 second £200. two dogs £50 each, four dogs £30 each, eight 

 dogs £30 each, sixteen dogs £10 each, the Waterloo Purse 

 and Waterloo Plate, £360; total £1,600; 61 subscribers. 



Character was nominated by Mr. R. L. Cottrell, who held 

 a nomination for the first time. Sir Sankey, winner of the 

 Purse, was the runner-up last year, but did the trick this 

 time. Mr. Hedley acted as judge and gave general satisfac- 

 tion. The slipper was Bootiman, whose work was not as 

 good as it might have been on the first day. 



ANSWERS TO CORRESPONDENTS. 



There w no charge for ansioerlng 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. 

 Co7nmunications refemng to other matters connected with Kennel 

 Management and dogs loill also receive caref ul attention. 



W. S. B., RochestBT, K. T.— Yes, and slaould be taken oflE when 

 yoimg. 



H. O. T., MancTiester, la.— Write to W. Philips, rorty-ninth street 

 and Broadway, Mew York. 



S. B., Brooklyn. N. Y.— Kentuore CA. K. O. S. B. 8,4Si8), by champion 

 Glencho out of Red Lassie. Whelped Feb. 27, 1887. Cora B. not regis- 

 tered. 



Tns'A, Toronto, Canada.— It is very probable that the bitch at that 

 age will not prove in whelp, but fail to see why it would do harm 

 Should she have puppies. 



O. L., Brooklyn, N. Y.— It is not necessai-y to register a kennel name, 

 only in case you wish to use the name of the kennel asaiJrefix to your 

 dogs' names. Yes, there is a St. Gothard kennel. 



P. F. A., Anniston, Ala.— In very exceptional eases the bitch mav 

 throwback, but it has been almost proved that the bitch wiU, if bred 

 true afterward, show no sign of a m&salliance in future litters. 



.T. W., Colchester, Conn.— We do not Icnow unless you eoidd -m-ite to 

 Mr. E. H. Moore. Meh-ose, Mass. Alton won second, New York, to J^ir 

 Bedivere, 1891; first, Baltimore, 1891; first, Pittsburgh, 1891, and sec- 

 ond, AA'ashington, to Sir Bedivere, 1891, when he was taken sick and 

 died. He was by champion Plinlimmon out of chamijion Queen .Jura 

 and was not quite fom- years old when he died. 



W. W. B., Lawrence, Mass.— How much should a bitch pup weigh at 

 eight months old, sire, Duke of Dexter, dam, Uno King Don. Ans. It 

 is impossible to give any definite answer to the question. Puppies 

 vary in weight quite as much relatively as aged dogs do. Even in the 

 sanie litter there is commonly a great difference in the weights of the 

 puppies. The weight of a puppy at six or eight months old is very 

 uncertain data on which to forecast his weight at matui-ity. 



0. J. A., Vancouver. B. C— The gpaniel picture you send shows that 

 the animal is rather large for a cocker, should thmk it was over 281bs. 

 in weight. Coat is not flat enough, hindparts too high in comparison 

 with rest of body. A fairly good head, but too long for a cocker, though 

 one can scarcely judge of size from photographs. Should call your 

 dog a field spaniel; 2Slbs. is' the limit for a cocker. The dog's forelegs 

 should be as straight as possible. 



G. A. H., Brooklyn, N. Y. — We do not know of such a breed as Rus- 

 sian collie. Kingston Regent had won four fli-st prizes in the open 

 classes before Refuge II. came over here, and is entitled to compete 

 only in the chaUeuge class. Refuge must ^vin the same nxmiber of 

 prizes in the open class before he can compete in the class with Kings- 

 ton Regent. Tins, however, has notbiag to do with the individual 

 merits of either dog, as it may be more difflcult now, owing to keener 

 competition, for Refuge to reach the challenge class than it was for 

 Kingston Regent. Princess Florence, a much better St. Bernard than 

 either, is stiU in the open class for the same reason. It is simply a 

 matter of record. 



G. Vak H., Washington, D. C. — I have an Irish setter that has a very 

 much inflamed mouth. He is unable to close his mouth. No use of 

 tongue, cannot eat or di-ink; no cough: eyes are not red or inflamed. 

 I know of some six cases here, and in Alexandria, Va., it is epidemic. 

 WiU you kindly teU me what to do for him? He is 10 years old and 

 good in the field yet. Ans, Probably an authracoid disease. Try the

The conditions governing the races for the America's Cup are cer- 

 tainly all that could be asked for ; in fact, the New York Y. C. has as- 

 sumed what is likely to prove a diflicult task in agreeing to sail five 

 in place of the usual three races when it is considered that all are to 

 be started outside of Sandy Hook, nearly twenty miles from the nearest 

 available harbor off Baj' Ridge or Staten Island. One important 

 change, and a very good one, is the adoption of the "one gun" start, 

 something new in Cup races. With but two competing yachts there is 

 no longer any excuse for the old plan of five or ten minutes in which 

 a yacht may lumber over the line. 



The small yacht and boat sailors of the Thames have lately been en- 

 gaged in an animated discussion over certain proposed limitations in 

 the building of one-raters, such as a minimum thickness of %in. for al] 

 planking. The proposed class is specially intended for the east coast 

 about the mouth of the Thames, in very exposed locations with large 

 stretches of shoal water which demand a strong craft of moderate 

 di-aft. There is a good chance here for some of our contemporaries to 

 get in a little sjoread-eagle talk, and to magnify the matter into another 

 covert attempt to bar the Herreshofl fin-keels. 



The model competition of the London Sailing Club, held for the 

 second time this year, is a thing which American clubs might well 

 imitate. A similar competition for designs of 31 footers under the 

 Seawanhaka rule would no doubt bring out a goodly number of 

 designs, and certainly would prove attractive and interesting. The 

 accoimt which we reprint from the Field this week is specially 

 interesting as showing the general sizes and type of small racing 

 yacht now in vogue in England. 



The final result of last season's agitation over a change of rule in 

 England is given this week in the report of the general meeting of the 

 Yacht Racing Association. After much writing and arguing, the 

 changes have simmered down fi'om something very startling and 

 i-adical to a few matters of detail, leaving the question of a change of 

 rule to come up at some future date. The changes made, however, 

 serve to improve and strengthen the present rule, that in regard to 

 the marking of the waterllne being a decided improvement. 



The Y. R. A. Rules. 



We reprint from the Field the following report of the general meet- 

 ing of the Yacht Racing Association and of the amendments to the 

 rules as finally passed: 



The annual general meeting of the Yacht Racing Association was 

 held at the Langham Hotel, London, on Feb. 23. There ^^'ere present 

 Sir G. A. Leach, K. C. B, (m the chair), Mr. Philip Perceval, .Jr., Mr. C. 

 Newton Robmson, Mr. W. Baden-Powell, Lieut. Henn. R. N,, Mr. T. B. 

 C. West, Mr. W. M. Dunnage, Mr. G. B. Thompson, Col. Fitzroy Clay- 

 ton, Col. V. Bagot, Mr. A. Manning. Major P. H. Hewitt, Mr. A. .J. 

 Lepper, Mr. Kenneth Clark. Col. Carlvon, Mi-. A. H. Bridson. Mr. C. H. 

 Beloe, Col. J. T. Buclcnill. Mr. E. Packard, the Hon. G. Colville, Capt. 

 J. Towers-Clark, Mr. Frost Smith, Mr. A. Marcet, Mr, G. F. Flemmich, 

 Mr. Randal Vogan, Mi-. John Ferguson, Mr, Andrew Thomson, the 

 Earl of Desart and others. 



The scrutineers reported that the following members had been re- 

 elected to the council: iMi-. G, E. Lake, Lieut. Henn, R. N., Col. V. 

 Bagot and Col. Fitzroy Clayton, and that Mr. R, H. Laugrishe had 

 been elected to fill the vacancy caused by the resignation of Major 

 Frank illan. 



JIi-. A. E. Sparkes, of the Dis, 10 rater, was elected a member of the 

 association. 



The council proposed the foUowing alterations and additions to Rule 

 3 Cas shown in itaUcs) to carry into effect the resolutions passed at the 

 special general meeting held on Dec. 6 last, as to the manner of mark- 

 ing and measuring length, etc,, as follows: 



(1) The rating of every yacht entered to sail in a race shah be ascer- 

 tamed by multiplying the sail area in square feet (as fouud in the 

 manner hereafter enjoined) by the rating length in feet, and dividing 

 the product by 6.000; the quotient shall be the rating. In ratings 

 above 10, a fraction of or exceeding .01 shall count as 1.0, but- in rat- 

 ings from 1 to 10 a fraction smaller than O'l shaU count as 0.1, and in 

 ratings below I'O fractions from 0.01 to 0.90 inclusive shah be reckoned 

 at their proper value (see Rule 4 and page 55). The length shall be 

 taken between the outer edges of the official murk.'i of the Y. B. A. as 

 placed by the owner at the bom and stern of the yacht, tliis length to 

 be termed the "rating length,'' and to rejyresent t/ie extreme lengtlifor 

 immersion, provided always that if any part of the stem or stern- 

 post or other part of the vessel below the marks for raling length 

 project beyond the length taken as mentioned, such projection or pro- 

 jections shaU, for the pm-poses of the rule, be added to the rating 

 length taken as stated; and pieces of any form cut out of the stem, 

 stern-post, or fair fine of the ridge of the counter, with the intention 

 of shortening the rating length, shall not be allowed for in measure- 

 ment of length If at or'immediately below the marks for the rating 

 length, nor above if within 6in. of the water level. 



Owners shall mark the racing length of their yachts on both sides at 

 the bow and stern in such manner as tlie Council may direct, with the 

 offlci'ai marks supplied by the Y. E. A., whKh marks shall at all times 

 represent the extrem e length for immersion when the yaclit is lying in 

 smooth water inlirr usii at racing trim, including racing crew on board 

 at and abaui the mid oreraU length. 



Mr. A. J. Lepper moved an amendment that in thek;st paragraph 



the words "including racing crew etc.," be omitted. Seconded by Jlr. 

 Kenneth Clark, Seven voted for the amendment and seventeen 

 against it. The amendment was consequently not carried. The 

 original motion was then put, and there voted for it twenty-three; it 

 was therefore declared carried. 



The following recommendations of the Council, after having been 

 verbally amended, were then agreed to nem. con. 



Rule 3, page 21, after ' 'described, ' ' at end of first paragraph, to Insert 

 "In all calcxdations, whether relating to length, sail area, or racing 

 any fraction beyond the second place of decimals be disregarded.'''' 



Rule 3, page 81. alter the last paragraph so as to read as follows: 

 The certificate of rating of the Yacht Racing Association shall only, be 

 vahd as the yacht's rating for racing so long as the reding length is. 

 not ino'eased and no alteration made in her spars and sail area. If 

 any alterations be made by any means whatever, .so tluit one or both 

 of tJie marks at the bow and stern, as placed by the oivner, come inside 

 the length immersed ivhen the yacht is lying in smooth water in her 

 usual racing trim, tvith racing^ crew on board, at and about the wdd 

 overall length, or if any alterations be made in the length of spars or 

 sail area of a yacht, or if any mark denoting her rating length is 

 moved from its position, her certificate of rating ceases to be valid, 

 and must be immediately returned to the secretary of the Yacht Rac- 

 ing Association, with notice in writing of the alterations, in order that 

 the yacht, or her spars, or her sails may be, if necessary, re-measured, 

 and a new certificate issued. 



Rule 3, page 2S, yachts tvhich have been raced previously to 189S 

 shall be allowed to compete in the classes for which they were designed, 

 by alloioing time for any excess of rating arising from re-measure- 

 mcnt, with racing crew on board, provided no alteration has been 

 made in the h ull by lohich the length of load luaterline has been irtr- 

 creased. or any increase in the saila,rea, since 1892. 



Rule 14 was altered so as to read as follows: 



"In yachts above lO-rating there shall be no limit as to the number 

 of paid hands and no restrictions as to the number of friends. In 

 yachts of 10-rating and under the total number of persons on board 

 during a match shall not exceed the number set forth in the follouting 

 table: 



Not exceeding O.S rating .2 persons. 



Exceeding 0.5 and not exceeding l-rating 3 " 



Exceeding 1 and not exceeding 2.5-rating 5 " 



Exceeding 2.5 and not exceeding 5-rating 7 " 



Exceeding 5 and not exceeding 10-rating 9 " 



If an. owner elects to liave his yacht measured for rating length with 

 a smaller number on board than set forth in the foregoing table, such 

 number shall be stated on the certificate of rating, and shall not be 

 exceerled in any race sailed under the certificate. "No paid hand shall 

 join or leave a yacht after the signal to start, except in case of acci- 

 dent or injury to any person on board."' There shall be no 7-estrictiotis 

 as to friends ivorking. 

 The last clause in Rule 15, page 28, was altered as follows: 

 No baUast or other dead weight shaU be shifted, shipped or un- 

 shipped so as to increase the Ungth of im mersion beyorid the marks at 

 the bo w and stern, placed by the owners to define the rating length, 

 after a yacht has been entered for a race. No ballast shall be shipped, 

 unshipped or shifted after 9 P. M. of the day previous to the race. A 

 race resailed shall be regarded as a new race so far as the 9 P. M. con - 

 dition is concerned. 



General Rule 11 and Rule 1 of the sailing rules were altered as fol- 

 lows: 



Page 10, Rtde 11, line 6: After "decision" add "which decision shall 

 befinal.^^ 



Page 13, Rule 1, fine 20: After ''Association" add "w/iose decision 

 shall be ftnaV
