had enough and has fallen asleep does she venture to 
leave her charge. Should the little fellow wake up and 
find its foster-mother gone, it flops around the store and

The Whirligig of Time. 
The procession in the kennel world is a bit straggling, 
but the stragglers are improving in pace and courage. In 
regard to the harm which might follow from handlers 
being club members, the following references will explain 
themselves, though it may be explained that -in 1894 the 
position was very unpopular, while time has so irrefutably 
demonstrated the soundness of Forest and Stream's posi- 
tion that there is perfect safety now in adopting it. 
American Field, May 2S, 1896. 
A factor that will tend to restore 
confidence and bring about har- 
mony is not to allow one or two 
handlers to have a voice in the 
management of the club's affairs. 
If one is allowed this privilege, 
then all must be allowed, and this 
latter being impossible, therefore 
the former is the only practical 
remedy. When one handler has a 
voice in directing the club's affairs 
it creates a suspicion that the dis- 
satisfied handler or owner takes 
up and magnifies, and in a short 
time this suspicion spreadr over 
the entire guild, whether there is 
any foundation or not for it. 
Who would back a horse, or what 
amateur would enter a horse in a 
race where the rules were drafted 
by a board of governors made up 
in part of the jockeys who were 
to ride in competition to a finish, 
or have a voice in selecting the 
judges? 
Forest and Stream, Jan. 6, 189U. 
The interests of a field trial club 
member in his capacity as such 
are entirely different from the in- 
terests of a professional handler, 
y et many field trial clubs accept 
field trial handlers into their mem- 
bership. In their anxiety to get 
a membership and a revenue they 
do not consider that they are ac- 
cepting members whose interest 
in connection with the club's 
affairs is not the club's interest. 
A handler who is a competitor 
has his own personal business in- 
terest to consider as a handler, 
and his bread and butter or his 
business advancement will be 
always of more importance to 
him than the club's interests. In 
his participation in the club's 
affairs his voice will not be tuned 
in all probability in full harmony 
with the club's best advancement. 
There is always a possibility that 
he may have some personal ad- 
vantage in what he advocates. 
All handlers might not do so; in 
fact, I know some whom I firmly 
believe would not. But whether 
they would or not, the principle is 
wrong. It is an injustice to other 
handlers who are not club mem- 
bers to compete with a handler 
who is a club member. The hand- 
ler-member has a voice in all the 
club affairs. He can be heard on 
tbe amount and conditions of tbe 
purses, the time and place where 
tbe trials will be held, the rules 
under which they will be run, the 
stakes, who will be judges, etc. 
Other handlers, wlv> are not 
members, of course have no voice 
in such matters. Thus there is 
the incongruity of a competitor 
in a public stake competing under 
conditions which he bad a part in 
arranging, while other competi- 
tors had no such part. That is 
not just in principle. Members 
who are interested from love of 
sport are thus brought in contact 
with members who are interested 
for business reasons. 
It is the same old professional- 
ism appearing in another form. 
Among club members, whose in- 
terest is in promoting sport, it is 
sure to be as disastrous in the end 
as it is to the amateur in compe- 
tition. The best business inter- 
ests of the handler in his capacity 
as a competitor for the club's 
prizes are not the club's best in- 
terests as a promoter and sup- 
porter of sport and the best ad- 
vancement of the dog. 
Manitoba Trials and Free Customs. 
Manitou, Man., June 3 —Editor Forest and Stream: I 
have much pleasure to inform you the Manitoba Field 
Trials Club have made arrangements with the customs 
by which all dogs that are duly entered in either the 
club's Derby or All- Aged stakes coming from the United 
StateB will be given free entry, the only condition being 
tnat they must be returned to the United States within 
the space of three months. 
The club will appoint a customs broker in Winnipeg to 
pass all entries. 
A circular giving full instructions will be mailed to all 
owners and handlers making entries.

POINTS AND FLUSHES. 
F. A. Stuhr, of Portland, Ore., is the owner of a baby 
Beal that has the strangest foster-mother that ever a seal 
had. It is nothing else than a beautiful curly-haired re- 
triever dog, named Belle, that has taken a strange fancy 
to the little ocean waif, and is giving it that nourishment 
that it denies its own offspring. When Mr. Stuhr 
received the little fellow last Monday, from one of the 
collectors whom he employs to gather specimens for his 
collection, it was not more than a day and a half old. 
Mr. Stuhr at first did not know what to do with the little 
fellow. From certain indications, he saw that the seal 
was only a few hours old. He first tried to feed it with 
fish, but the seal was too young to eat. Then he tried it 
with a bottle to which a rubber nipple .was attached, but 
met with no better success. By this time the seal was 
getting hungry, for it had had nothing to eat in twenty- 
tour hours, and its owner was afraid it was going to 
starve to death, when Belle, the retriever, attracted by 
the persistent bellowing of the hungry little animal, left 
her litter of pups, to see what was the matter with the 
strange object that was squirming around in the middle 
of the floor. No sooner had the dog come near enough 
to the little seal than it began to flop feebly in her direc- 
tion. The dog stood still, and quietly watched the stranger 
approach her, until it was so near that it began to lift its 
little head, and then something about the baby seal must 
have appealed to her mother's heart, for she lay down 
and began to nurse the little one as though it was the 
most natural thing in the world to do. The dog will 
A singular case is recorded in the Kennel Gazette, of 
Lieutenant- Colonel Cornwall Legh's well-known pointer 
bitch Gladys, having swallowed, presumably with food 
sent down from High Legh Hall, a skewer 4£in. long, 
two years ago, and no ill effects having resulted until 
the end of last month, when Mr. Meech, Colonel Legh's 
trusted kennel manager, noticed what at first he thought 
to be a broken rib protruding from the bitch's side, but 
what turned out to be the skewer in question forcing its 
way through the skin. Mr. Meech, by the aid of a pair of 
pincers, successfully performed the operation of pulling 
the skewer out of the dog's side, and it now lies at the 
Kennel Club office as a relic of this singular accident. 
What makes the case all the more remarkable is the fact 
that in the interim the bitch has brought forth a litter of 
no less than ten healthy puppies, to Mr. Street's (late Mr. 
Hignett's) well-known dog Kirksanton Brocket (K. C. S. 
B.).— Our Dogs.
