 Llewellyn swears by his dog show qualities. Mr. Diffen- 

 derffer will use him in the field as well as put him on the

In the June number of Scribner's, Prof. N. S. Shaler writes 

 an interesting article on "The Dog." On the score of the 

 dog's susceptibility to ridicule he says: "An extremely 

 human characteristic of our canine friends is shown in their 

 susceptibility to ridicule. Faint traces of this quality are to 

 be found in monkeys and perhaps even in the more intelli- 

 gent horses, but nowhere else save in man, and hardly there, 

 except in the more sensitive natures, do we find contempt, 

 expressed in laughter of the kind which conveys that emo- 

 tion, so keenly and painfully appreciated. With those dogs 

 which are endowed with a large human quality, such as our 

 various breeds of hounds, it is possible by laughing in their 

 faces not only to quell their rage, but to drive them to a dis- 

 tance. They seem in a way to be put to shame and at the 

 same time hopelessly puzzled as to the nature of their pre- 

 dicament. In this connection we may note the very human 

 feature that after you have cowed a dog by insistent laughter, 

 you can never hope to make friends with him." 



ANSWERS TO CORRESPONDENTS. 



P. L., Newberry, Mich. — I. A St. Bernard bitch is usually firBt bred 

 during the second pBriod of cestrum, when about 15 months old. S. The 

 different strains of St. Bernards vary bke other breeds in the time they 

 take to mature. They should have their full growth at about two 

 years, but some dogs fill out considerably even after that age. 3. You 

 can generally reckon two periods in a year ; some bitches come in 

 evtry five months, others will skip a month or so. A good deal de- 

 pends on the health of the bitch and her surroundings and care. She 

 will remain in that condition from a fortnight to three weeks, and will 

 generally be ready to mate about the seventh day after the appear- 

 ance of the sanguineous discharge, or when this loses its redness. 



C. D., Glen Falls, N. Y.— The pointer Joe Jefferson is by Duke of 

 Beaufort out of Marn'zelle, by Foxchase out of Diablesse; Foxchase 

 by Mainspring out of Lady B°aufort, Duke of Beaufort by Bullseye 

 out of Lady Beaufort. Rosalind is not regis' ered, neither" is Joe H. 

 3. Naso of Kipping by Naso II. (E. 8,633) out of Maggie (E, 9,049). 3. 

 Nick of Naso is by Naso II. out of Pettigo, bv Tory (E. 6,05S) out of 

 -Juno (E. 9,047), by Price's Mike out of Juno; Tory by Drake (E. 842) 

 out of Moore's Mab. The pedigree can be extended on both sides if 

 you wish it. 



C. F., Philadelphia, Pa.— You do not say if the two sires were of 

 different breeds. It is not probable that the second litter will show 

 any signs of the first mating, though in the case of a mesalliance there 

 is always a chance that one or two or more puppies in some subse- 

 quent litter may "throw back." 



K. B. D , Easton, Pa.— Unless you were informed of the state the 

 spaniel was in before you purchased it you would be fully justified in 

 ret urning the dog. The treatment you mention is the only good one 

 for removing the warts. 



O. M. A., Ithaca, N. Y.— There would be no harm in spaying the 

 bitch if done by a veterinarian.

N. E. B. G. Meeting. 



Editor Forest and Stream: 



A meeting of the field trial committee of the N. E- Beagle 

 Club was held at Worcester, Mass., May 25, and called to 

 order at 4:10 P. M. The following members were present: 

 F. W. Chapman, A. D. Fiske, Thomas Shallcross and W. S. 

 Clark. President Chapman in the chair. Minutes of last 

 meeting read and approved. The first business to come be- 

 fore the meeting was the selection of judges for the fall field 

 trials. Letters were read from several, and after consider- 

 able discussion it was voted that the selection be left with 

 the members of the club, and the secretary was instructed to 

 send a list of eligible judges to the different members so they 

 could be voted on, and return their vote so it could be acted 

 on at the July meeting. It was voted that reserve numbers 

 be given in each class, same as last year. It was voted that 

 Souvenir ribbons be given the winners in each class. 



It was voted to divide the Derby into two classes, namely, 

 15 to 13in. and 13in. and under, provided there be six or 

 more of either size entered, Voted that prize money be 

 given on the percentage plan, namely: 40 per cent, of entry 

 fees to first, 30 to second, 20 to third, except in champion 

 class, in which SO per cent, of entry fees goes to the winuer 

 and also the title of field trial champion. Voted that the 

 entry fees in the open classes be &3 to nominate and $5 

 additional to start, and in champion class 810 to start. 

 Adjourned at 5:45 P. M. The thanks of the committee are 

 due Mr. A. D. Fiske, who entertained them in a very hospit- 

 able manner at his cosy little home in Worcester.

Our valued correspondent 'Bradley" had some good moon- 

 light Tuns with the foxhounds last week. On Tuesday a 

 party of them went to Lincoln and started a fox about 9:30 

 P. M. and ran him till daylight. He played close about them 

 and rarely took the pack out of hearing. The night was 

 still and clear but decidedly chilly.

We spoke recently of the greyhound May brook Kennels 

 expect to import. The dog's name is Jim Boy, by Page Boy 

 out of the noted Park Lane Beauty. Page Boy is by Treasure 

 Trove and Park Lane Beauty is own sister to champion 

 Annie Laurie II., in her day one of the grandest bitches 

 shown. Mr. Bradbury has just bought two more greyhounds 

 from a friend in England, an experienced coursing judge. 

 One is a white and fawn bitch by Herschel out of Green Fly, 

 by Greentick, two years old and said to be as good on the 

 bench as she is in the field, where she is a great stayer. The 

 other is a red and white dog, two years old, the particulars 

 of whose breeding we have not received.

Vigilant and Atalanta- 



The ocean voyage of Vigilant began a little after midnight on May 

 31, when with no one to witness her departure she quietly got up her 

 hook in the Horseshoe and stole out by the point of Sandy Hook with 

 all sails set before a fresh westerly breeze. At 6 A. M. on June 1 she 

 was sighted from Fire Island, and from the weather and winds which 

 have since prevailed up to the time of going to press, it is probable 

 that she is well on her way; and after a long spell of easterly winds, 

 likely to meet with fair weather and favoring breezes. On Monday 

 every one aboard the yacht was busy with the final preparations, 

 stowing stores, filling tanks, bending sails and putting the finishing 

 touches to the rigging. On Tuesday morning the yacht, with Mr. 

 Howard Gould on board, as well as the compass expert, was towed 

 down the Bay. and after the compasses were adjusted, sail was made 

 and a trial spin taken. The new rig is by no means unbecoming, 

 thoush a most unusual one for an American racing yacht, even for 

 sea going. It is well proportioned and ship shape, and likely to answer 

 the purpose better than any other. 



On the same evening Ataianta came out of the Erie Basin drydock 

 with her new wheel, her topsides being white instead of black. 



The date set for Yigilant's departure was Thursday, but the day 

 was rainy and cheerless, with an east wind. Mr. Gould, who has been 

 in constant attendance on the yacht during the fitting out, was very 

 anxious to have her start, and at 10 A. M. she was taken in tow at the 

 Erie Basin. On board with Mr. Gould were Messrs. Hurst and Robin- 

 son, of the New York Y. O, while the swift Vamoose carried quite a 

 party as the guests of her new owner, Mr. F. T. Morrill. After a 

 cheer from the crew of Ataianta the procession started, Vigilant being 

 greeted by salutes on every hand as she passed down the Bay and 

 through the Narrows. It was noon when the Hook was reached, and 

 the tug ran into the Horseshoe, Vigilant dropping her anchor to wait 

 for better weather. 



The party from Vamoose boarded the yacht for a final look, then 

 Messrs. Gould, Hurst and Robinson and Captain Haff went on board 

 of Vamoose to return to New York. The Yacht Masters and Engineers 

 Association had sent a large floral horseshoe, which was presented to 

 Capt. Jeffrey by Engineer Heilbron; then, after cheers and adieus, 

 Vamoose headed for New York and Vigilant was left alone. She is 

 provisioned for thirty days, with 2,400 gallons of water in her tanks 

 and the breakers on deck, and carries six Down East dories in case of 

 accident. Her crew is made up as follows, twenty-six all told: Capt. 

 L. A. Jeffreys, First Mate Clayton Haff, Second Mate L Miller, Chief 

 Steward Henry Boyd, Seamen C. J. Herman, W. B. Lundt, Loftus 

 Robertson, Thomas Rosevelt, Antonio Johnson, John Lorson, Ben 

 Christiansen, Nils Christiansen, Alexander Johnson, Emil Anderson, 

 George Haff, Oscar Anderson, Olaf Knoff, Axel Christiansen, John 

 Olsen, Lury Qinderson, Charles Bird, Peter Morasch, Henry Nelson, 

 Fred Forceboom. 



All but two are Swedes or Norwegians, and all have served aboard 

 of Vigilant, Colonia or Jubilee. 



"When on the other side, Capt. Henry Haff, Sr. (Hank Haff) will be 

 in command, with Capt. Jeffreys as first and Clayton Haff as second 

 mate Young Capt. Henry Haff is now in command of the Wasp. Ten 

 extra hands sailed on the Anchor Line steamer Ethiopia on June 2, and 

 on the same vessel were the racing spars and sails, a very complete 

 outfit. 



After her long lay up, a great deal of work was necessary in fitting 

 out Ataianta, but it has gone on rapidly under the direction of genial 

 Capt. Shackford; the yacht, however, was not quite ready by Satur- 

 day, but she left the Erie Basin about 10 A, M. on Sunday. On board 

 were Messrs. Howard Gould, his friend Maughan Carter, Capt. Haff 

 and Mr. Gilbert L. Wilson, the sailniaker. Her destination is South- 

 ampton. It is much to be hoped that the vile easterly weather which 

 has plagued the whole month of May has exhausted itself, and that the 

 fair weather of the first few days of June will hold throughout the 

 month, in which case Vigilant is likely to make a quick passage. If 

 she does well she should be in Glasgow by June 18 or 19, by which time 

 Capt. Haff will have been on the ground for several days, and her 

 racing sails and s,iars will be ready for her. Under such conditions, 

 the additional work of fitting out should go on quickly, with a few 

 days to spare for trial before the first of the Clyde regattas, on July 

 4. Even with a longer passage, the yacht maybe ready for those 

 races, though every day for trial is a material gain, as Capt. Haff has 

 never sailed her. From the Clyde she will accompany the British 

 fleet to Bangor and Kingston, and there will be ample opportunity for 

 working her into shape before the more important events of theCowes 

 week, 



Biscayne Bay Y. C. 



Biscayne Bay, May \\— Editor Forest and Stream: The Biscayne 

 Bay Y. C is highly complimented by the interest taken in its recent 

 races by Southern Yacht Club members, as recorded in your columns 

 under date of April 15. We would gladly enter into an arrangement 

 for a Southern intei state regatta, to be sailed somewhere on the Gulf 

 <>f Mexico during the coming summer, were it not that we are a win- 

 ter club, and our season closes on May 30. Already many of our 

 yachts are laid up for the summer, while others are scattered far and 

 wide. Flying Cloud, after making a cruise to the Bahamas, left here 

 one week ago to day for New York, with Commodore Munroe on board 

 as navigator. Oriole and Lounger have also gone North Whim and 

 Gypsy are laid up on the west coast. Nethla and half-a-dozen more 

 are laid up here. Allopatta goes out of commission and into summer 

 quarters in two weeks' time. Reine has gone on a cruise to Nassau, 

 where Wabun will soon follow. Thus, you see, we are in no condition 

 for summer racing, but if any of our Southern Y. C. friends will 

 visit us next winter, say about Feb. 22, we will race with them, in any 

 class, to their hearts' content, and be glad of the chance, or if they 

 choose we will try to meet them at any designated point on the Q ulf 

 coast, Tampa Bay or the vicinity of Punta Gorda preferred. 



That such a meeting may be arranged, and Southern yachting 

 Kreatly stimulated thereby, is the fervent wish of yours truly, 



O. K. ~ 



The Spring Regattas. 



The present week is a busy one in yachting. A report of the annual 

 regatta of the Brooklyn Y. C, sailed on Monday, will be found in an-

 just below the Narrows. In each class there will be a first prize, if 

 two or more start, and a second prize if four or more start. There 

 will be special prizes also for yachts in cruising trim. The yachts will 

 be classified by load waterline as follows:

 the middle of the sail as possible, and just above the upper reef band. 

 These numbers can be obtained from the superintendent at the club 

 house. 



Yachts not entered will keep to leeward, and behind the contestants, 

 and will be careful not to interfere with them in any way, particularly 

 at the turning points.

 practicable, and the time of each yacht will be taken as sne passes be- 

 tween the committee steamer and a stakeboat. The courses for 

 schooners and Class I,, 70, 46 and 40ft. classes, are Shippan, Matini- 

 cock, Shippan course; to and around Shippan Point Buoy (or stake- 

 boat), keeping it on the port hand, thence to and around Matinicock

 Light, on Tuesday night, and proceed to New London on Wednesday 

 The fleet will return to Oyster Bay on Saturday, June 30. 



On July 3, the yachts will race to Larchmont to be present at the 

 big Fourth of July regatta. 



On Monday, June 25, there will be a race for 21-footers for a prize of 

 $50. The rules to govern this race are the same as the Larchmont 

 club rules. 



On Saturday, July 24, there will be a race for the cup presented by 

 Geo. Bullock for 24-raters, and a race for 32-footers for a $25 cup. On 

 August 18 there will be a race for 21-footers for the Alfred Roosevelt 

 Memorial cup, worth $75. Ex-Commodore Ceuter will give the second 

 prize. 



The races to and from New London on the occasion of the Harvard 

 —Yale rowing regatta, promise to be one of the features of the sea- 

 son, as the custom of attending this event is becoming more general 

 each year among yacht owners; and a race of this kind is far pleas- 

 aut=>r than a solitary cruise. The flag officers of the club have offered 

 prizes to the amount of $150 for schooners and $150 for singlestickers 

 for the race out, and of $50 in each class for the return race.
