breed has sustained as the personal loss which Mr. Bunn 

 must feel. During the latter part of the Chicago show the 

 bitch seemed ailing, but nothing more serious tlian a cold 

 and fever was suspectad. She died on Monday, Dec. IS, and 

 the autopsy revealed a genei'al derangement internally. This 

 bitch has had a brilliant career, a career so recent that it is 

 needless to refer to it here. She was bred by Mr. Moore and 

 was by champion Jlford Caution out of Lady Dorothy and 

 whelped May 5, 1889. Though her markings were, in the 

 eyes of some lovers of the breed, a detriment, her beautiful 

 formation of head and body and intense quality sufficed to 

 place her at the very top of the mastiff fancy. 



Correction. 



Mr. Patterson writes us that Abe, as stated in our special re- 

 port of Providence show, is not a mastiff, but a smooth 

 St. Bernard, and the criticism on Eulalie should apply to 

 him. He won first in open St. Bernard dogs. The only 

 mastiff shown was the puppy Philip, who was given first 

 in dog puppies. Eulalie was removed the first day of the 

 show. 



Dr. Perry, who has been president of the board of directors 

 of the Fimciers^ Jmirnfil for some months, has resigned and 

 severed entire connection with that publication. 



The Portland Kennel Club intend holding a show about 

 May 1.5. So it looks very much as though the club means 

 business, whether organized before or after its rival. The 

 club has elected the following officers: President, Dr. F. 

 Cauthorn; Vice-President, J. S. Seed; Secretary, D. L. Wil- 

 liams; Treasurer, J. W. Keen; Directors, .J. F. Carraher, W. 

 L. Curry, E, House, I. Humason and F. Westenfelder; Dele- 

 gate to A. K. C, W. L. Washington. 



The Saratoga Poultry and Kennel Club have made the fol- 

 lowing arrangements for transportation to their coming 

 show: The National and American express companies will 

 return free all dogs that have been forwarded over their lines. 

 The Delaware & Hudson Canal Co. will carry free all dogs 

 when accompanied by care-takers. N. Y. C. & H. R. Ry. 

 and Fitchburg Ry. will transport free three dogs when in 

 charge of care-takers. Mr. J. Otis Fellows is to superintend, 

 and we again call the attention of exhibitors to the fact that 

 the entrv fee has been reduced ta.S2 and that of selling class 

 to $1. Entries close .Jan. 6, 189i. Col. A. B. Hilton's dogs 

 of the Woodlawn Stock Fai-m Kennels will be for exhibition 

 only at the Saratoga show. A SIO special for the best kennel 

 of four bull-terriers will be given.

ANSWERS TO CORRESPONDENTS. 



J. E. M., Wilmington, Del.— Spaying a bitch will not affect her 

 scenting powers. 



Spiona.— If the correspondent who inquired for the pedigree of the 

 English setter bitch Spiona will write to Dr. Littleton Philadelphia, 

 Pa., he will probably be able to get her pedigree. 



Julian, Lansing. Mich.— Forest Corinne's A. K. R, number is 6,8-38. 

 If vou want the pedigree, she is bv Bruce, by Elcho out of Noreen, out 

 of Little Nell, by Elcho out of Rose. That the owner of this bitch 

 should wish to charge you SI for this information is unaccountable. 



0. H , Brooklyn. N, Y.— 1. Legerdemain (A. K. C. S. B., 9378), by 

 Mainspring out of Merry Legs, by Champioii Graphic out of Bloomo ; 

 Mainspring by Mike out of Romp. 2. He won first at Charleston, 

 S. C, and C. at New York in 1892. 



J. S. B , Montreal, Can.— If the sire's pedigree is unknown nothing 

 can be done. You certainly cannot invent the deficiency, and the only 

 record of breeding must come from the dam's side. If you will give 

 us the name of your bitch and sire and dam's names perhaps we can 

 help you. 



Snapshot, Atlanta, Ga. — ^We cannot inform you of what kennels are 

 breeding pure Laveracks. They have been merged into the Lewellyn 

 and fresh outcrosses sought until there are few if any left in their 

 original purity of strain. 



E. S. R , Port Richmond, N. Y, — Write to secretary American Kennel 

 Club. 44 Broadway, New York, and he will supply j-nu with registra- 

 tion blanks giving full particulars. 2. Warren Tip- Top is by Dusky 

 Trap out of Resume. Dusky II. is not registered. 



B. A. A.— I wish to invest in a dog to hunt partridge and quail, 

 which dog would you recommend, English pointer, Gordon setter, 

 English setter? Ans. There is no fixed data upon which to give 

 definite advice. Each breed has its advocates and admirers It is 

 largely a matter of personal preference. There are good and poor 

 ones of all breeds, and a good dog is to be preferred regardless of 

 what breed he may belong to. 



C. E. A., Salt Lake City, 'Utah.— Breeze is not the dam of Elsie 

 Beiton, the latter is by Laverack Chief out of Fame (1970 'Vol. II.) ; 

 Laverack Chief, by Beiton (13 Vol. I.) out of Breeze, by Duke out of 

 Belle, by Pontiac (3491) out of Fairy IL (354 "Vol. I ). Breeze we can 

 not find registered. 2. Yes, 701bs. is a rather too heavy weight for ar 

 English setter. 



J. M. H , Lenox, Mass.— In 1880 Luke N. White entered two pointer 

 bitch puppies at the W.K.C. show, Leona and Grace IL. both by Sensa- 

 tion out of Grace, four months old. There is no mention of Lill. Grace 

 was entered in the champion class at the same show, and her pedigree 

 is given as by Match out of Nell, but we cannot find any further record 

 of these dogs. Grace was 7yrs. old at that time and owned by Luke 

 N. White. 



F. H., Boston, Mass.— Please give me the best directions for the cure 

 of canker in dog's ears and head. Ans. Use the following lotion : 



li Liq. plumbi sub. acet 3 iii 



Tr. opii 3ii 



Aq. ad , |iv 



Mix. Lotio. A little to be poured into the ear twice a day. 

 Rbadkr, Tacoma, Wash —1. What is the best breed of dogs for 

 hunting bear'? If not a ftill-blood. what cross would answer'? 2. What 

 is the best remedy for distemper known for puppies four months old, 

 English setters? Ans. 1. If not required to get to close quarters, 

 some 1.5in. beagles would answer if properly entered. 2. Careful 

 nursing and keeping the puppies in a warm place will do a great deal 

 Give the following pills: 



R Quiuinesulph grs. xxxvi 



Ex. gent 3ss 



Mix. Pill, xxxvi. Give one three times a day to each puppy. 

 J. M. B., Newport. R. I.— Please give me extended pedigree of black 

 cocker spaniel bitch Black Bess, owned by Dr. J. S. Niven. London, 

 Ont., in 1881: also of Bob IH,, owned by Hornellsville Kennel Club at 

 same time; also of Sweep, a bitch I think was owned by Dr. J. S. 

 Niven about the same time. Ans. Black Bess (A. K. C. S. B. 3141), by 

 Bru'^h out of Rhea, by Captain out of Rose; Brush by Rolf out of Nel- 

 lie. 2. Bob IIL, by Bucleuch (E. 4,413) out of Nell. 3. There is a dog 

 Sweep (A. K. R. 290O), but no bitch of that name registered in this 

 country. Sweep was by Homell .Jock (A. K. E. 1877) out of Arma, by 

 Whitman's Carlo, out of his Flora. Owned by Miss Appleton, New 

 York at time of registry in 1885. 



W. S. T., Toronto.— I have a black cocker pup, 4mos. old. About two 

 weeks ago he began to shake his head a good deal, at the same time 

 hanging his right ear. I poured in some olive oil and in a few days it 

 seemed quite well. About four or five days ago the trouble returned 

 and he began to cry out occasionally, scratching his ear a good deal 

 and running around when the pain troubled him. I again applied the 

 oil with a few drops of carbolic acid in it so as to give the oil a slight 

 smell of the acid. The pain has again disappeai ed and he seems quite 

 well, as he plays with an older dog I have and eAts quite heartily, I 

 notice to-day for the first time a little redness inside the ear and on 

 rubbing the side of his face he presses his ear quite strongly against 

 your hand, whining lowly at the same time and seems as th'oug-h the 

 rubbing eased the itching or alight pain in his ear. He and the old dog 

 plaj' a good deal, and although the old dog is very good tempered 

 still the pup's long ears form such a convenient hold that he often gets 

 a pretty good tug by them. As to w hether such was the original 

 cause of the trouble is a mere matter of conjecture. Ans. Treat for 

 worms and pour a little of the following lotion into the ear twice a day: 



R Liq. plumbi sub acid 3 iii 



Tr. opii 3 i 



Aq. ad jlii 



Lotion. Use as directed.

American Foxhounds. 



The National Fox Hunters' Association is mailing the fol- 

 lowing circular to all known fox hunters in the country: 



"Believing that you are interested in the further develop- 

 ment of the foxhound, we respectfully request that you send 

 in your name for membership in the National Fox Htmters' 

 Association, organized at Lexington, Ky., on Aug, 31, 1893. 

 The object of the Association is to hold one or two meets an- 

 nually, as the members may determine, where supremacy in 

 speed,_ hunting and endurance may be established. The As- 

 sociation already has as members many of the most promi- 

 nent fox hunters, nearly every State in the Union being rep- 

 resented. The place and date of the meets will be decided 

 by a majority vote of the members, and the Association will 

 make the ptirses sulEciently attractive to warrant hunters in 

 attending from all parts of the country. 



"The annual dues of §5 may be remitted at the convenience 

 of the member. We inclose blanks, and trust that you will 

 not only send in your own name, but influence your friends 

 to become members. Asking your immediate and favorable 

 consideration, etc." 



Mr. Harry L. Means, Louisville, Ky., is the secretary and 

 treasurer, to whom all communications should be sent. 



We have received numerous inquiries as to what the As- 

 sociation intended to do. We recognize the fact that in an 



association whose members are so widely scattered it is dif- 

 ficult to make much headway at first. It was understood at 

 the inaugural meeting that a more general meeting would 

 be held in November. If the condition of the treasury admits 

 of such a move we should think the best plan would be to 

 hold a foxhound meet as soon as possible in some central 

 location and in a country best adapted to bring out the best 

 work of the different strains of hounds. This would create 

 an interest in the Association of much more enduring efi'ect 

 than all the letter writing, circulars, and so on, could pos- 

 sibly accomplish. Nothing definite can be done until the 

 fox hunters at large are brought together personally. The 

 movement to form a standard at the Saratoga show next 

 month, which Mr. Lyman L. Clute is agitating, is well 

 enough in its way. Should such a standard be formed at 

 that time by a few men who may be attracted to the show 

 we doubt if it would have the indorsement sitch as it would 

 be entitled to were the standard evolved and indorsed by a 

 large meeting of our best foxhound breeders under the guid- 

 ance of the National Fox Hunters' Association. There are 

 so many different interests at stake owing to the present 

 wide diversity of type in the different strains that only by 

 combined personal action can a satisfactory result be ob- 

 tained, and one that will be productive of the most good to 

 the American foxhound, 



Before such general meeting is called it would be well for 

 the pre.sident of the association to appoint a committee of 

 thorotighly practical foxhound breeders and hunters whose 

 duty it would be to draw up a standard, and then submit 

 this standard at the general meeting, when such alteration 

 may be made, if requisite, that will meet with the approval 

 of the majority concerned. 



Once a "standard is evolved and printed our judges at dog 

 shows will quickly become conversant with it and judge 

 accordingly. So many foxhounds are now being placed on 

 the benches at our shows that this action is necessary. At 

 present a judge who is prejudiced in favor of the English 

 type of hound, and has had no experience with American 

 hounds in the field, will naturally judge on English lines, 

 and an American, whose conception of a foxhound is vastly 

 different, will judge on the lines of the strain with which he 

 is most familiar, and it is easy to see the confusion that this 

 will always lead to. 



There is no reason why the American foxhound should 

 not have a uniform type. 



Good material abounds, and the different trials are bring- 

 ing the hunters nearer together and causing an infusion of 

 new blood into the strains that will of itself in time even up 

 the general build of the foxhound. Still this is a haphazard 

 way; what is required is some definite form that combines 

 speed lines, strength and beauty. Our experience has been 

 chiefly with the English hound, we admit, but we are not so 

 bigoted in our notions as not to see great merit in the 

 American hounds we have met in the field, especially in the 

 degree of nose and speed thpy display; but any one who is at 

 all conversant with the uniformity of type to be met with 

 in the English packs cannot but feel astonished when he 

 "views the unevenne.ss of the American strains, and can only 

 account for their great deeds in the field on the supposition 

 that more attention is paid to individual than collective 

 merit. 



Our experience at Westfield led us to think that if more 

 attention was paid to "sortiness" and general packing 

 qualities the hunters themselves would be saved cojtsiderable 

 annoyance and trouble. To illustrate this we will suppose 

 a man has a pack of four couple, one of which is the hound 

 he swears by. This honnd generally leads, and, in a rough 

 country will probably carry the fox along alone after awhile; 

 the others lagging behind, are tempted to start fresh trails, 

 and the consequence is the hounds become scattered and 

 unless content to leave them to find their way home as best 

 they can, it is a work of time attended with considerable 

 trouble and personal discomfort to get them together again. 

 This would be avoided to a great extent were more atten- 

 tion paid to uniformity of speeed. There will always be a 

 dog in the pack with a truer and better nose than another, 

 and the rest will hark to him, but his speed should not be so 

 fast as to carry him away from his companions. In England, 

 if a hound is too fast, he is drafted out, sold or used in the stud, 

 if too slow he is of no use and is disposed of. Such is the 

 principle that should obtain with our packs here. Where 

 music enters so largely into the enjoyment of a fox hunt in 

 our rough countries where the hounds are seldom viewed 

 from the start, such packing would add to the volume of 

 sound and thrilling tone. 



An English fox hunter turns up his nose at the general run 

 of our hounds when he sees crooked forelegs, splay feet, long 

 loins and pasterns, shallow chests and snipy muzzles, and 

 listens Avith incrediility to a story of their deeds in the field. 

 He forgets that it is courage that sustains so many of our 

 hounds in their great runs, and that it is the heart that is in 

 them that is responsible for a good deal of it. A hound that 

 is built with true symmetry of form, so that all parts work 

 strongly and evenly, will last longer than a hound that is 

 built loosely and with working parts at variance with true 

 symmetrical form, and in turn the latter must draw a note 

 on his courage to keep up the balance. This we find illus- 

 trated in the recent letters on courage in fo.x;hounds, written 

 by our valued correspondent, Mr. Hagans. One might spin 

 out columns on this subject of hound build, but enough has 

 been said above to show our meaning in calling for a more 

 uniform type in the American foxhound. Our opinion is but 

 a mere personal deduction, and we should only be too pleased 

 to publish the opinions of other friends of the dog that can 

 stir the soul to deeds of daring as no other can.

 She was out of Coleraine Diamond by Daylight, and though 

 long past her usefulness as a courser, being 13 years old, 

 untd recently she proved herself a most valuable matron. 

 Among her best known progeny are Lord Macpherson, Lady 

 Barton, Lad7 in Black, Laplander and Living Yet.
