Another Original Dog. 



When the sealing schooner Columbia arrived at Seattle 

 Sept. 26, in addition to a cargo of skins it brought an inter- 

 esting curiosity in the shape of a dog. According to the 

 Seattle Telegraph, "It was found on an island in the North 

 Pacific Ocean that was not inhabited by any human beings 

 and never had been, from all signs that could be found. 

 While the Columbia was cruising off Whale Bay on the 

 Alaskan coast the fresh water supply ran short. A small 

 boat was loaded with barrels, and three men sent to one of 

 the neighboring islands in search of water. As they landed 

 they noticed an animal that resembled a fox in appearance 

 running up and down the shore. One of the men had a gun 

 with him and took a shot at it. His aim was bad and he did 

 not hit it, but the animal did not run away, and came directly 

 up to the boat and expressed delight at their annval. The 

 animal was evidently a cross between a fox or wolf and an 

 Alaskan dog. It would play around them, but it would not 

 allow itself to be caught. They found a spriug of water, and 

 after they had filled their barrels they were ready to return 

 to the Columbia. A storm came up suddenly, which drove 

 the sealer out to sea, and it was three days before she could 

 return to take the men on board again. During these three 

 days this strange wild animal became their constant com- 

 panion. 



The next morning after their arrival the quadruped, after

From Le Chenil (Prance). 



having disappeared for several hours, returned covered with 

 blood. It jumped around them and then started up the bank 

 into the woods. They followed it out of curiosity for some 

 distance, and less than half a mile away they found it over 

 the body of a recently killed deer, which it was Anciously 

 tearing to pieces. The next morning the aninial acted in the 

 same way, and following it again they found another deer. 

 The third morning the Oolunibia cast anchor near by and 

 took them on board. 



They had by this time made good friends with the animal 

 and had little trouble in taking it with them. For some 

 days they had trouble in keeping it from jumping overboard, 

 but finally it became reconciled to its surroundings. Several 

 weeks afterward they had to go ashore again and took the 

 animal with them. It started away in great glee as soon as 

 the boat reached shore. One of the sailors, fearing it would 

 not come back, ran after it. As soon as it reached the cover 

 it began to act like a hunting dog. Suddenly it lay down on 

 its belly and began to creep through the grass like a snake. 

 After going a short distance in this way it made a spriug 

 and caught a grouse in its mouth. Within half an hour it 

 caught a number of grouse in the same way. When they 

 returned to the Columbia the animal went with them with- 

 out any persuasion. The animal is now called a dog and is 

 a fixture on the Columbia. It is perfectly gentle, aud fi-om 

 an examination of it made by several gentlemen it was pro- 

 nounced principally dog with a cross grain of wolf or fox. 



On the Chesapeake Shores. 



Editor Forest and Stream: 



I have been on the shores of the Chesapeake Bay and ad- 

 joining rivers for the purpose of securing some good speci- 

 mens of the ducker's friend,l.e. , the Chesapeake Bay dog, with 

 a view of honoring the standard and securing a type principle 

 iu their progeny. 



I am sorry to see the careless form in which most all of the 

 seemingly leading breeders select their stock for the purpose 

 of breeding. 



This careless, haphazard way of mating will never produce 

 a uniform type, and the quicker the start is made in the sys- 

 tematic way of breeding with a view of a type principle the 

 quicker the breed will attract a world-wide reputation. 



Their working qualities have been exemplified ever since 

 the year 1807, and at this recent date have spread far west- 

 ward. 



I ;have made my selections in regard to type from advices 

 obtained of the active members of the Chesapeake Bay Dog 

 Club, and find that body very amiable and accommodating"^ 

 and I should advise all Chesapeake Bay breeders to seek 

 their advice in i-egard to type, should they chance to come 

 that way to select stock, as they should regard type as well 

 as working qualities. 



I hope to see the day when the Chesapeake will be bred to 

 show standard requirements, but not, however, to lose his 

 noble working faculties. B. Alton Smith.

Newark Dog Show. 



The premium list of the New Jersey Kennel League's first 

 annual dog show to be held in the Industrial Hall, Newark 

 N. J., lies before us. We have already outlined the form the 

 list would take, and bur suggestion that a third premium of 

 cash should be given has been followed in some cases. The 

 principal challenge prizes are $10 and diploma and others -$5 

 and diploma, and in the principal breeds the open prizes are 

 $12, .S6 and 84. Puppy classes are confined to mastiffs, $8 and 

 .$4; St. Bernards and great Danes $7 and $3, and fox-terriers 

 .S3 and .$2. Other breeds get $10 and S5 and diploma in open 

 classes. Rough terriers, the toy spaniels, poodles, pugs, 

 Italian greyhounds, Mexican hairless, Boston terriers. Clum- 

 ber spaniels and dachshunds get $7, §3 and diplomas. 



The classification is liberal, most of the challenge classes 

 being divided by sex. The League offers a kennel prize of $10 

 for best four in mastiffs, rough-coated St. Bernards, smooth- 

 coated St. Bernards, great Danes, Russian wolfhounds, grey- 

 hounds, pointers, English setters, Irish setters, Gordon set- 

 ters, beagles, cocker spaniels, collies and fox-terriers. 



Spaniels get classification No. 1. Mr. Radel offers §10 for 

 best dog or bitch in the show and the club will have a pic- 

 ture of the prize winner taken at its own expense, which 

 picture shall be used as the League emblem. The best mas- 

 tiff bitch with three of her get will win .S2.5. Mr. Reick offers 

 $15 for best rough St. Bernard barring Sir Bedivere, and Mr. 

 Radel encourages protection by giving $10 for best of that 

 breed owned in New Jersey. The Pointer and Collie clubs, 

 have done well, and the American Fox-Terrier Club offers^ 

 prizes to the amount of -$40. A number of other specials are: 

 donated and the list will be materially increased by the time' 

 the catalogue is issued. 



The show bids fair to be one of the best held this fall and', 

 as those connected with it have expended much enthusiasms 

 and worked hard to give Newark a good show, we sincerely 

 hope their efforts will be so well rewarded that the fixture* 

 will become, in reality, an annual one. The show will be 

 held Nov. 28, and three following days. The entry fee is .§3„ 

 and entries close Nov. 18. with Dr. W. F. Seidler, "784 Broadl 

 St., Newark, N. J. In the additional rules we find this- 

 proviso: "In the event of Thanksgiving Day not being Nov.. 

 30, as anticipated, the dates of closing of entries and of the; 

 show will be one week earlier." The League might have* 

 made a popular move if it had acted on Forest ANDi 

 Stream's suggestion to grade entry fees according to prizes.. 

 It is too much to pay -$3 for a $7 prize in the smaller breeds;: 

 $2 would have been better. The following railroads will 

 carry dogs free when accompanied by owners or caretakers:: 

 Central Railroad of New Jersey, Pennsylvania Railroad,, 

 D., L. & W. Railroad, Erie RaUroad, Lehigh Valley Raili- 

 road, Reading Railroad, B. & O. Railroad. 



The judges were announced last week. 



International Field Trials. 



Editor Forest and St/ream: 



Although you have had nothing from these pai-ts lately,, 

 do not imagine that things are at all dead in the dog and gun 

 line. Arrangements are about completed for the Interna- 

 tional trials beginning Nov. 7. 



The past severe winter was very hard on the birds, except 

 in a few places whei-e they were well looked after. On our old 

 trial grounds up the river, birds were not found in sufficient 

 numbers to warrant the trials being held there, and it was; 

 thought the club would have to accept the invitation of the; 

 Big Point Club to hold the trials on their groiinds. There 

 was considerable objection to this on account of some of the; 

 dogs being worked there. The difficulty, however, has beeni 

 overcome, the club having secured permission from the farm-- 

 ers in the vicinity of Mitchell's Bay to run the trials on their' 

 lands; 1,200 acres have been .secured. Mitchell's Bay is a 

 gi-eat duck resort and has two good hotels; it is about twelve : 

 miles from Chatham. 



Twenty-five out of the thirty-four Derby entries have paid' 

 their second forfeit. The All- Aged Stake closes on Nov. 1, , 

 and everything points to a good entry. 



Word has just been received from Mr. Thos. Johnson that'- 

 he has a cable from Mr. Lonsdale to send his two crack, 

 pointers, Ightfield Musa and Ightfield Dogwood to the Inter- 

 national; they will be sent down in charge of "Sef" Hallam,, 

 who ran them at the Northwestern Trials. 



There has been a call from a number of amateur sports-- 

 men for a renewal of the Amateur Stake, and the committee* 

 have decided to run a stake after the regular trials, openi 

 only to dogs broken and run by amateurs, provided a sufneii- 

 ent number of entries are received. The names of the judges 

 will be published next week. 



Ducks and snipe are in good mimbers. The redheads are 

 coming in for the first time in a number of years. The low 

 water in the marshes bordering on Lake St. Clair for the 

 past few years seems not to suit them. On the Big Point 

 preserve, seven or eight hundred were usually killed, but of 

 late years only a few were seen. The big .ducks, however, 

 have been plentiful and this year more so than ever.

The Ashmont Trophy. 



Editor Forest and St/ream: 



I beg to announce that the Ashmont diamond ticroh'y,-. 

 which was won by my Irish setter champion Tim, has-been' 

 delivei-ed to me. It is without doubt the handsomest special 

 prize of its kind ever offered in the dog world. It must be- 

 admitted by all that the rivalry that the competition for the 

 trophy occasioned certainly brushed up interest in dOg mat- 

 ters, both among the regulars and amateurs, and in this end _ 

 fulfilled the wish of its most generous donor.

How is This? 



Editor Forest and Stream: 



In reading your report of the Danbury dog shovr I notice 

 you give my Newfoundland second and special, fiinst with- 

 held, which is correct according to the records. I went into- 

 the assistant secretary's office to see about my priiae money, 

 and he (Lewis Reed) told me that Ben Lewis of Philadelphiak 

 took second and he (Reed) took special. Mr. Reed's dog ia,

Death of Champion Bellegardev 



St. Bernard breeders the world over will regret to hear of 

 the death, Oct. 9, of this well-known St. Bernard. Some 

 time ago, according to Stock-Keeper, she showed signs of 

 suffering from an incurable internal complaint and her owner, 

 Mr. Norrii-Elye, mercifully had a term put to her suffering 

 by a painless death. Bellegarde was born July 10, 1885, and 

 was by champion Bayard out of Crevas.se II., a winner at 

 Crystal Palace, etc. Bellegarde had a distinct influence on 

 the St. Bernard breed in England, though peculiar to relate 

 only her female progeny survived, her most promising dog 

 puppies being born dead, excepting one by Sir Bedivere, 

 which afterward died from distemper. Among her distin- 

 guished daughters may be mentioned the noted champion 

 Alta-Bella, who once beat Princess Florence, and Abbess, 

 and her granddaughters Beautiful Abbess and Albula. 

 Bellegarde was noted for her gentle and affectionate expres- 

 sion. Her winnings include premier honors at the best 

 shows and once she was reserve for the St. Bernard Club's - 

 100 guiuea cup.
