The entries for the pet dog show closed May 22, and the 

 number known so far is 288; there will probably be 300 in all. 

 The club must be congratulated on this excellent entry, 

 taking into consideration the limited number of breeds. 



The A. K. C. Meeting. 

 The A. K. C. meeting last Thursday was a memorable one. 

 Commencing at 1 P. M., it was not ad journed till 10:4.5 P. M. 

 The delegates stuck well to their seats with ne'er a bite nor 

 sup. A number of new delegates were on hand and at no 

 meeting before hare we seen the club business so generally 

 discussed br the delegates. The important new move sug- 

 gested in Forest and Stream in last issue, to haye a meet-- 

 ing of the club in the West, went through flying. If held in 

 September during the World's Fair show it will be well at-- 

 tended by the delegates. 



POINTS AND FLUSHES. 



[By a Staff Correspondent] 



In a pleasant, chatty letter, Mr. E. D. Adams, Hon. Secre- 

 tary of the Manitoba Field Trials Club, mentions that the 

 date of closing Derby entries is extended to June 15. He says: 

 "We have the promise of a good many entries and everything 

 tends to show that keen interest is being taken in the sport. 

 * * * As far as I can learn there are more good puppies in 

 this country than ever before, among them being a Roderigo 

 —Lee Gladstone bitch owned by Mr. E. Hughes, of Brandon. 

 Messrs. Adamson & Cain, of Virden, have imported from 

 England three very fine pointers, two bitches and one dog. 

 Ml-. K,. I. Gallagher has also purchased two fine setter Derby 

 entries. Count Noble and Dad Wilson stock, also a pointer 

 bitch, Spotted Boy stock. Birds are more plentiful this 

 spring in Manitoba than they have been since I came to the 

 country, so prospects are bright. Onr president, Mr. Simp- 

 son, drove all over our grounds a few days ago and reports a 

 full stock of birds. The grounds are being carefully guarded 

 and there will be no lack of grouse for the trials. About 

 passing the dogs coming to the trials through the Customs: 

 This has all been arranged for, and there will be no duty on 

 them provided that if sold in the country duty will be paid." 



The American Field Trial Club has reduced the entry fee 

 to $15 in the Derby, payable in three parts of $5. All-Age 

 Stake $20; So, $10 and *5. These trials follow immediately 

 after the TJnited States trials at Bicknell, therefore handlers 

 can easily start, in both trials.

Who killed the World's Fair show? 

 "I," said "Doctor" Rowe, 

 "With my 'fake-Ust' bow. 

 I idUed the World's Fair show." 



Who saw him do the deed? 

 "We," Forest akd Stream; said, 

 "When we his 'fake-h'st' read, 

 We knew he'd done the deed." 



Who helped to bury the dead? 

 "We," the angry dogmen cried, 

 "With our protest far and wide, 

 We helped to Itmy the dead." 



Flaps from the Beaver's Tail. 



Toronto, Can.— Mr. Gambler Boulton, the well known 

 English photographer of animal subjects, was here this 

 week and delivered an interesting lecture before the Toronto 

 Camera Club. His series of canine prints was exceedingly 

 interesting, especially a number of photographs of bulldogs, 

 some extending many years back and sho^ving the gradual 

 change in type and formation doAvn to those of the present 

 day, Mr. Gambler Boulton had made arrangements to take 

 a .snap at some of Mr. Kirk's dogs, but the excessively 

 wet weather we had during the early part of this week made 

 the carrying out of the project impossible. 



The dog show committee of the Industrial Exhibition met 

 on Friday; those present were C. W. Postlethwaite, chair- 

 man; J. S. Williams, J. Maughan, J. Wilson, H. B. Donovan 

 and C. A. Stone. Mr. Postlethwaite was elected Chairman 

 for the year; INIi-. Maughan, Vice-Chairman, and Mr. Stone; 

 Superintendent. The Pointer Club will this year offer 

 specials of -MO, divided as follows: $10 to best dog and 1$0 to 

 best bitch in open class— open to all— and $10 to best bitch 

 and -SIO to best dog owned by members of the club. The 

 Spaniel Club will again offer the -^100 challenge cup in ad- 

 dition to other specials, and the National Beagle Club and 

 Collie Club have also semi-officially signified their intention 

 of donating specials. 



The wife of C. A. Stone, May 18, a daughter ; con- 

 gratulations. 



The management of the Industrial Exhibition dog show 

 this year consists of: C. W. Po.stlethwaite, chairman; 

 J. Maughan, vice-chairman; J. F. Kirk, Jno. Massey, J. Hen- 

 derson, J. Wilson, J. Dilworth, J. S. Williams, " Capt. C. 

 Greville Harston, Robert Junor, J. G. Mitchener, H. B Don- 

 ovan, W. P. Eraser, R. G. Wilkil; secretary and superin- 

 tendent of bench show: Mr. C. A. Stone, Toronto. 



Forest and Stream is by this time of course aware of the 

 collapse (it can be called nothing else) of the World's Fair 

 bench show for June and postponement to Sept. 19 to 23. 



Toronto dates are Sept. 11 to 15, and Montreal several 

 months ago filled a claim in the following week. If Mon- 

 treal will hold a show, which at present seems improbable 

 Canada of course will snppt)rt it and not the World's Fair 



."^A. ^^'^ "^'"^^ ^^^^ tlie Canadian Ken- 



nel Club recognizes the claim for dates, I cannot see how 

 that body can take pai-t in any show conflicting Avith one 

 held under L . K. C. rules. Ottawa naturally follows Mon- 

 treal and has claimed dates Sept. 26 to 29. The selection 

 already made could be allowed to stand, and no doubt by 

 that time a f m-ther selection could be held to make up the 

 full number which the Government has agreed to take 

 charge of, namely, 200. However, it is but snrmisiu'^ yet as 

 until further particulars are made known, and the executive 

 of the C. K. C. meet to discuss procedure, no definite action 



can be arrived at. It is intensely disappointing and annoy- 

 ing to all those who have spent time and money in working 

 up a representative and large exhibit from the Dominion. 



Mr. W. Brodie, who leavas for Scotland this week, takes 

 witli him Mr. J. O. Bennet's smooth fox-terrier bitch Star- 

 dale BeUe. She will remain in Mr. Brodie's kennel until 

 bred to Mr. Stephens's crack sire Stipendiary. If the union 

 proves successful the result should give this breed a lift in 

 Canada. 



Messrs. Brodie & Lyndon claimed Mr. H. P. Thompson's 

 fox-terrier pup TaUy-Ho, by Blemton Rattler ex Tambour- 

 ine, winner in selling class at Toronto 'K. C. show.

 terrier puppies. All sold. No better advertising medium on 

 earth than Forest and Stream. Send bill. Yours in haste,

ANSWERS TO CORRESPONDENTS. 



There is no charge for ansivering 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 loitl also receive careful attention. 



G. H. P., SisterviUe, W. Va., Lindsey's Irish setter Dash, by Going's 

 Bob out of Niall's Fan, by Lord Waterford's Ponto out of Miss War- 

 burton's Venus; Going's Bob by Hutchinson's Bob out of his Lil).

 out of Jepson's Belle; Basto by Sir H. Bruce's dog, dam not given in 

 E. K. C. S. B. Nellie B by Lindsay's imported Dash out of Criena. 

 The others you mention are not registered. We do not know of any 

 Gordon setter breeder at Garfleld, Pa. ; sorry we have no information 

 on the subject. 



G. B. S., Pittsbm'gh, Pa.— My Irish dog is about one year old. He is 

 scratching and biting at his whole body, head, legs and even his tail. 

 Little pimples all over- him; hair all out in spots on head and body; 

 eyes are sore and swelled this past week. Running at nose, noise in 

 throat as though it was choked up. Have been giving him five drops 

 of Fowler's solution of arsenic in food morning and evening, and also 

 washing him with carbolic acid in warm water. Ans. Treat for worms 

 and apply following dressing: 



Sublimed sulphur 16 ozs. 



Oil of tar 10 ozs. 



Sperm oil 4 pints. 



Mix together. To be well rubbed all over the dog every other day. 



J. J., Westfleld, Mass.— I have a black cocker bitch that has a cough, 

 not very bad, and scratches herself most of the time; eyes run a little. 

 What is good for her? Have given her mange cure. Do you think it 

 worms? Ans. Treat for worms.. Give the following: 



Mag. sulph '. Ji 



Ferri sulph 3i 



Acid sulph dil 3i 



Aq. ad 5 "viii 



Mis. Give one dessertspoonful twice a day. For the cough give 

 one teaspoon ful of Stokes' expectorant mixture three times a day. 



W. W. 3IcS., Stevensville, Pa. — I have fine bred English setter, ten 

 months old, strong and healthy, but with a lameness that baffles me. 

 AViien he came to me about a month since I noticed a very slight 

 lameness in right fore foot, but no inflammation, no enlargement, no 

 displacement of bones, and the only mark a slight sliver of one toe 

 nail, which I removed carefully with a scissors, and which is now per- 

 fectly smooth. The lameness still continues and with no swelhng.or 

 inflammation. AVhen standing he advances the lame foot slightly, 

 putting only a part of his natural weight on it. He shows no soreness 

 from pressure of foot, leg or shoulder. The shipper says it was done 

 in ti ausportation as he started sound. Ans. We cannot express any- 

 thing definite in a case like this; it is necessai-y to see the dog. From 

 your description it is probable the lameness isin the shoulder or elbow. 

 Examine the toes carefully.

The various rumors concerning Volunteer und^r her new owner, 

 Com. J. Malcolm Forbes, Eastern Y. C, amount to the fact that Com. 

 Forbes is de-sirous of converting her once more to the cutter rig 

 but that the Lawley Co. is too busy just now to do the work, with 

 other alterations below, consequently the yacht is fitting out under 

 her schooner rig. Two weeks since her large boom, stored since 1887 

 at Wiotringham's yard, w^as shipped to Boston. Later in the season 

 Volunteer will be seen under her old rig, the sole representative of 

 the much-talked-of 90ft. class. It is probable that she will be*i-aced, 

 and her presence in the trial races would add greatly to the excite- 

 ment, but Com. Forbes is not hkely to give her a new racing rig, such 

 as her added length would fit her for, and to race her as she was raced 

 in 1887. Her length will in all probabiUty prevent her being chosen 

 to defend the Cup, even if she were successful in the trial races. 



There is a prospect of a revival of that annual agony, the steam 

 latmch race, which was laid at rest last summer by the Norwood- 

 Vamoose fiasco, the non-completion of the Gardner -Mosher boat and 

 the bm'ning of the Yankee Doodle, once the Buzz. The owners of this 

 last craft have dug up her rusted remains and are building a huU 70tt^ 

 long and 7ft. beam to receive the same machinery. They now propose 



sweepstakes race of ^100 entrance, with a purse of $1,000 added by 

 the city of Philadelphia, the date to be July 4 and the course on the 

 Schuylkill River. 



The fact is not generally known that the Paine fin-keel just missed 

 being the Tobin bronze boat. It was decided to build her of that 

 material, but an accidental delay of a day or two in ordermgmade the 

 order second to that of the Herreshoffs, and the makers of the metal 

 were unable to fill more than one order of this size on such short 

 notice. 



The obvious fakes which have been laid before a suffering com- 

 munity during the winter are of late giving place to true and reliable 

 pictures of the new yachts. The sketch of the Stewart & Binney 

 syndicate boat is from the Boston Globe, whose correspondent secured 

 a photo of the yacht in the yard. Her fin will be put on in the Erie 

 Basin dry docks, New York, the htill being towed around as soon as 

 she is launched. 



New York Y. C. 



The third regular meeting of the New York Y. C. was held on May 

 18, with Vlce-Com. Duncan in the chair. Com. Morgan being at New- 

 port. 



The committee on club sites reported that the new station at Bay 

 Ridge will shortly be ready for occupancy, and that the station at 

 Whitestone L. I., has been removed to the bulkhead of the Long 

 Island Railroad Company's dock, thereby being in close communica- 

 tion with New York. 



The committee on the reception of the Viking ship reported progress. 



The following programme was announced by the regatta committee: 



June 15 — The Annual Regatta. — Regular Prizes— In each class there 

 vnll be a first nrize if two or more start and a second prize if four or 

 more start. Special Prizes — There wiU be fiz'st and second prizes, as 

 above, for yachts in cruising trim. 



Aug. 7. — The rendezvous for the August cruise has been fixed by the 

 conomittee appointed at the February meeting for Aug. 7., at Glen 

 Cove, L. I. On the day of rendezvous cups, which wUl be offered by 

 the commodore, wiU be sailed for. 



Aug. 11.- The flag officers have appointed Friday, Aug. 11. for the 

 Goelet cups off Newport. On squadron's return to Newport, the cups 

 offered by Capt. J. J. Astor will be sailed for. During the cruise the 

 customary prizes for the rims from port to port will be offered. 



Sept. 15.— The autumn sweepstakes. For each class in which three 

 or more enter. Course triangular, ten mfles to a log outside of Sandy 

 Hook. Time limit seven hours, but if no class makes the race on the 

 first trial, it will be started agam on the following day without time 

 limit.

 Rule 5. 



In each sweepstakes the second will save her entrance if four or 

 more start. The club will add a $200 cup for first prize tC two or more 

 start, and a SI 00 cup for second prize if four or more start. 



Entrance, §100 half forfeit. Entries, which must be in writing, must 

 be ddressed to the regatta committee at the club house, 67 Madison
