but if it comes after or during the Canadian circuit, a good 

 exhibit will no doubt be forthcoming. 



Death of Lady Gladwyn. 



Col. .J. Ruppert, Jr., has not experienced an over-abund- 

 ance of good fortune with his kennel of St. Bernards so far. 

 The loss of Scottish Prince was a severe one and now he ex- 

 cites the sympathy of his fellow members of the fancy over 

 the death of Lady Glad^vyn, one of the best rough bitclies 

 we had in this country. Lady Gladwyn was whelped Feb. 

 26, 1889, and by Prince Regent out of Lady St. Gothard. 

 Through her breeding and her excelleut form and intense 

 quality and good type, she should have proved of great valae 

 as a brood bitch, and that her death comes just as she was 

 at her best is to be deplored. Lady Gladwyn was imported 

 in 1892 by Col. Ptuppert, Jr., from Sir, George Booth's ken- 

 nels at Hull, England, a brother of Mr. Ed. Booth, Col. 

 Ruppert's kennel manager. Gladwyn's career on the bench 

 in this country is too recent to particularize; suffice to say 

 .she has won at nearly every appearance. It is to be hoped 

 that the kennel has reserved some of the puppies out of a re- 

 • cent litter from this bitch. 



Later particulars of Lady Gladwyn's death have been 

 ascertained. This bitch was the greatest pet of the kennel 

 and Mr. Booth is almost heart broken over her loss. She 

 died from gastric colic in a few hours after being taken ill 

 and before any aid could be had. Several surgeons were 

 appealed to, but in vain , and Dr. Sherwood, the vet for the 

 kennel, was attending other patients and did not arrive 

 until just after her death. Dr. Sherwood gave the follow- 

 ing certificate of death: "I have to-day made an examina- 

 tion of the body of the St. Bernard bitch Gladwyn and find 

 that death was due to colic. I consider that Mr. Booth's 

 treatment of the case was excellent and nothing more could 

 have been done in the way of medicines. — Thomas G. Sher- 

 wood, M. R. C. V. S." Mr. Booth's family have raised Lady 

 Gladwyn, her mother and her grandfather. Lady Gladwyn 

 whelped last Friday a litter of nine pups, all of \vhich were 

 doing well till she was taken sick on Sunday at noon. 

 Seven are now alive on a foster mother. Their new bitch, 

 Royal Duchess, arrived on Saturday last per steamer Lydian 

 Monarch, of the Wilson Line. She is strong in h6ad proper- 

 ties, good markings and stands 30in. at shoulder, with good 

 bone, body and action. She is also from the Hull Kennel. 



U. S. Field Trials. 



Field trial men will be pleased to see the efforts of the 

 LTnited States Field Trial Club so well backed up. Giving 

 two trials in a season is a formidable venture, and probably 

 only such a go-ahead club as the United States could do it. 

 We trust that their other stakes and the Trials B in Febru- 

 ary next will receive as good support as their Derby. 



Fox-Terrier Cribbage. 



In regard to the rumor about the celebrated wire-hair fox- 

 terrier Cribbage, being purchased by Mr. H. W. Smith, of 

 Worcester, Mass. (another of Forest and Stream's many 

 exclusives, by the way), we may say with authority that Mr. 

 Smith has been given a refusal price on the dog and has 

 cabled his English correspondent to close with Mr. Clear, 

 Cribbage's owner. Cribbage is without doubt the best wire- 

 hair in England, and by many thought to be the best fox-ter- 

 rier in the world, as he has been placed over Vice Regal and 

 D'Orsay several times ior the cup for the best terrier in the 

 show. 



Any one who wishes to buy a dog need only turn to our 

 kennel special columns this week an'd he will find "a little of 

 isomethtng of everything.". J. L. Sebolt offers Gordon set- 

 ter pups; W. H. Pierce, well-bred English setters; Standard 

 Stock Farm, pointer bitch, cocker dog and foxhound pups; 

 Albany Pointer Kennels, young stock; R. S, Inch, English 

 setter pups; W. H. Child, young great Dane; C. S. McChes- 

 ney, pair pointer bitches; B. Z. Brewer, English setter pups; 

 Wachovia Kennels, St. Bernard pups; J. Leicht, trained 

 pointers; Oakview Kennels, well-bred beagle pups; F. M. 

 Thomas, trained pointer; Dr. C. E. Stanley, English setter 

 dog; E. B. LTnderhill, Jr., greyhound pups. We also draw 

 attention to E. B. Bishop's advertisement of Irish setter pups 

 out of Coleraine and champion Winnie II. Spratts Co. also 

 publish a list of then- well-known dog medicines. In the 

 stud Bay City Kennels puts the smooth-coated St. Augus- 

 tine, winner of the 100 guinea challenge cup last Crystal Pal- 

 ace show, and the rough-coated St. Bernard Lord Dante, 

 first and special, Detroit; first, Indianapolis, 1893. We also 

 draw attention to the new advertisement of New York St. 

 Bernard Kennels, who in an already good list of stud dogs 

 include the celebrated and newly-imported Young Bute, who 

 stands at a fee of S75. Wants: J. Leicht, dogs to train; 

 Thasmo Kennels, small dogs to board. 



Another cocker kennel is in process of formation at Phila- 

 delphia. Dr. Thomas B. Earley and Mr. J. L. Budel have 

 claimed the name of Clover Kennels. Their initiation into 

 the trials and tribulations of the fancy commenced with 

 Stella Brush, a purchase fi-om Woodstock, Canada, whelp- 

 ing on the train and the consequent loss of all her pups by 

 Woodland Duke. They have two more bitches due in a week 

 and naturally hope for better luck next time. These gentle- 

 men write "We wish to add our testimonial to the many 

 virtues of Forest and Streasi." 



A Mr. G. Hathaway, of Nutley, N. J., is the owner of a 

 three-legged dog which has developed a reputation as a 

 snake killer. He never passes a snake by on the other side. 

 Recently he killed a black snake 5ft. 6in. long after half an 

 hour's struggle. The absence of the fourth leg is probably 

 the reason for his own immunity. 



There seems to be an epidemic of big litters just now. A 

 correspondent from Troy, N. Y., sends us word of a fox- 

 hound litter of large dimensions. The first one of the litter 

 was born about 5 P. M. on Saturday, June 3, the fifteenth 

 came on Sunday about 10 A. M. and was still-born. Two 

 more were bom alive by A o'clock in the afternoon, and at 

 last accounts the sixteen were doing well with the aid of a 

 foster mother. The bitch, Lill, w^as purchased recently by 

 four Troy sportsmen, known as the "Governor's party," 

 from the Cook Kennels, of Detroit, and is by Workman. 

 Besides being the first litter this dog has sired, it is also the 

 mother's maiden efl;ort. 



We are indebted to the Retnor Kennels for some excellent 

 photographs of their new dog Bedgebury Lion, and also a 

 capital picture of their little Prince Chai-lie Snob, that took 

 first prize at the Pet Dog show. A small picture of Bedge- 

 bury Lion's head is j List about the best thing of its kind we 

 ever saw, and shows the points of this dog's grand fronti.s- 

 piece to perfection. A capital pictiu-e of Mischief, or rather 

 Dimple, who was smothered in her box on the way to the 

 Troy show in 1890, is also included in the envelope. 



Mr. Wa-shington sends us a picture of his Irish setter Kil- 

 dare Beveiiy, which, though it might be a little sharijer in 

 detail, is a good likeness ot the dog, and further enriches oui- 

 gallery of celebrities. 



The Blue Grass Kennel Clab, Lexington, Ky. , write: The 

 premium list of coming show is now in the hands of the 

 printer and will be ready for distribution June 36. Copies 

 will be mailed promptly upon apj)lication to the secretary, 

 Roger D. Williams, Lexington. The show will be held 

 under the rules of the American Kennel Club, and a 



wins will count in advancing dogs to ch ampion and challenge 

 classes. 



Mr. Huber, the well-known pointer breeder of San Fran- 

 cisco, is building new kennels. It will interest Eastern 

 pointer men to know that his Sally Bra.ss II. is said to be in 

 whelp to his English field trial winning pointer Glenbeigh, 

 that Mr. Mortimer brought over for him last summer. 



We regret to hear that Mr. Freeman Lloyd is suffering 

 from inflammation of the eyes and is almost blind. We sin- 

 cerely trust that the ailment is only temporary and that he 

 will soon be able to "see a thing or two" again' in his usual 

 form. "Thames Tattler," as this gentleman is best known 

 over here, has for .some time past been kennel editor of the 

 Sporting Mirror, published in London. In his column or 

 two of "The Diu of Dogdom" he gives us all the principal 

 news of the English kennel wox-ld in his usually chatty man- 

 ner. 



Dr. Foote derives a good deal of amusement in "touching 

 the button" on the numerous and varied inmates of his ken- 

 nel and often succeeds in catching some quaint and interesting 

 situations. One result he left at our office the other day. It 

 represents three "wires," puppies by Brittle— Bi'ittle Button, 

 Brittle. Brush and Brittle Broom, on the qui vive at the door 

 of their barrel kennel; they look very long-headed and wise 

 in their generation. 



A notable event in coursing circles is the whelping of Mr. 

 J. H. Watson's Drytime, June 11. The result of the union 

 with his Royal Crest, three bitch pups, is rather disappoint- 

 ing. 



World's Fair Show Judges. 



Chicago, June 21— Special to Forest and Stream: The 

 TriJmne this morning prints the following, which I send 

 without having time for a visit to Mr. Thacher to verify the 

 correctness of the list: 



"John Boyd Thacher yesterday nominated fifteen judges 

 for the Kennel exhibit. The list of judges, while it was not 

 approved yesterday by the Board of Control because Director- 

 General Davis had not indorsed it, will be passed to-day with 

 his signature, and consequently these will constitute the 

 jury to award medals and diplomas: 



For St. Bernard and Newfoundlands, Miss A. H. Whitney, 

 Lancaster, Mass. Mastiffs, E. Court Rice, England. Great 

 Danes and Dachshunds, G. Muss-Arnolt, Tuckahoe, N. Y. 

 Deerhounds, greyhounds, Russian wolfhounds and fox- 

 hoxmds, R. D. Williams, Lexington, Ky. Beagles and Bass- 

 etts, Pottinger Dorsey, Newmarket, Md. Pointers, Dr. Wes- 

 ley Mills, Montreal, Canada. English setters and Chesapeake 

 Bay dogs, .John Davidson, Monroe, Mich. Irish setters. Dr. 

 William Jarvis, Claremont, N. H. Gordon setters. Dr. L. 

 Henry Twadell, Philadelphia, Pa. Spaniels (sporting), A. C. 

 Wibnerding, New York city. Collies, H. Jarrett, Philadel- 

 phia, Pa. Fox-terriers and bull-terriers. T. S. Bellin, Albany, 

 N. Y. Other terriers, poodles, bloodhoimds, harriers and 

 schii)perkes, James Mortimer, Long Island. Pugs, toy 

 spaniels and Italian greyhounds, Dr. M. H. Cryer, Philadel- 

 phia, Pa. Bulldogs, John E. Thayer, Lancaster, Mass." 



E Hough. 



Upon receipt of above this (Wednesday) morning we wired 

 Chief Thacher for verification, who in reply confirms the list 

 as correct, subject to approval by the Commission. 



We are pleased to see Mr. Davidson on the World's Fair 

 li.st of judges, but the appointment of Dr. Mills for pointers 

 is something "no fellah can understand," and will surely 

 raise a protest. 



English Entries for Northwestern Trials. 



Editor Forest and, Stream: 



In a chatty letter I received from Mr. Wm. Brailsford he 

 informs me that the grouse trials for this year have been 

 dropped. That he has sent out to Mi-. Pierre Lorillard three 

 setters, one, a yoixng black dog, own brother to my Manitoba 

 Toss, and one by the noted English field trial winner Fred ex 

 Rosa, she by Ross ex Pitti Sing. Fred's progeny are now 

 the fashionable field trial strain in England and are eagei'ly 

 sought for, Mr. Lonsdale paying §500 for a winning puppy. 

 Mr. Brailsford says he is a very clever puppy, as are all Fred's 

 get. Mr. Lonsdale enters Ightfield Dog Wlaip in the North- 

 western Field Trials Club's Derby and asks for more entry 

 forms, so that this spirited sportsmen will be again repre- 

 sented iu our field trials. Entries are already flowing in and 

 I fully expect that our Derby purse will exceed -$500. Mr. B. 

 Waters writes that his journalistic duties compel him to de- 

 cline to act as one of the judges for this year. Major Taylor, 

 Mr. John Davidson and Dr. Rowe are among those that have 

 the club's preference, but it is very hard to get good judges 

 in consequence, principally, of kicking competitors, but this 

 club will adopt rules this year that will protect their judges 

 in the direction mentioned. Thos. Johnsok,

ANSWERS TO CORRESPONDENTS. 



There is no charge for answering questions under this head. All 

 questions relating to ailments of dogs will be answered by Dr. T. 0. 

 Sherwood, a member of the Royal College of Veterinary Surgeo7is. 

 Communications referring to other matters connected vrith Kennel 

 Management and dogs will also receive careful attention. 



J. B. H., New York.— I have a dog by Paul Gladstone ex Jean; Jean 

 by Fred W. ex Zona. WiU you please inform me if I have a pure 

 Lewellyn setter dog. If not will you please point out the defects of 

 pedigree. Ans. Your dog is pure Lewellyn setter running back in 

 evei7 instance to the Duke— Rhoebe Cross. 



A. F. C, Wellaud, Ont.— Please give me the pedigee of English 

 setter bitch Lulu. Ans. By Paris IU. out of Genevieve, by champion 

 London out of Dawn; London bv Paris out of Hiunpidge's Lill; Paris 

 HI., by Paris H. (1701 Vol. H.) out of Lady Princess (2059 Vol. IH.).; 



H. D. W., Milford, N. Y.— I have a foxhound bitch, 10 months old , 

 that had distemper last winter. She appeared to get over it, but had 

 it quite hard. About three weeks ago she commenced to go sideways 

 and more with her hindparts than her fore; she will brace with one 

 side and go around in a circle and fall down. She seems to be in good 

 health other ways, though she sways her head back and forth. The 

 eyes seem bright. I have been gi'ring her spirits of nitre and I have 

 put spirits of turpentine on her spinal column, but it does not help 

 her. Her limbs seem warm. She has just commenced to be in season, 

 would it harm her to breed her now. Ans. Give a sharp purgative 

 and afterward the following mixture; 



I^ Pot. bromid 3 iss 



Liq. arsenlcalis . 3i 



Aq. ad j-rf 



Mix. Give one tablespoonful twice a day. 



E. L. G., Mamaroneck, N. Y.— I have a Newfoundland dog which is 

 very sick with what I think is distemper. He is a dog seven years 

 old. His eyes and nose run with matter. His eyes seem to have 

 wasted away enth-ely. Will you kindly teU me in yonr next issue 

 what disease it is? Ans. Distemper. 



What ShaU We Drink? 



Tms is a question of the utmost importance in the hot weather An 

 absolutely pure and non-alcohoUc beverage that is grateful to the 

 taste, full of snap, sparkle and effervescence, and a blood jjui-ifier as 

 well, is Hire's root beer. There are many substitutes and imitations 

 on the market which should be carefuUy avoided.— ^du.
