him. I killed ail other in the same way, and mydog was cured 
of his gunshyness. In two weeks from that time T had bim 
working in first-class shape. He is a keen and fast hnnter 
and perfectly staunch. 
Now, if "Subscriber" has an exceptionally fine pup and has 
plenty of time and patience to expend on him, it will pay to 
train his timid pup; otherwise he had better dispose of him 
and get one with more "sand." 
I am satisfied that a pup can be trained, no matter how 
timid, if properly handled, and the timid one generally proves 
staunch; but the wear and tear on a man's temper is some- 
thing fearful. He must pet and coax the dog when his 
natural inclination would be to shoot his head off. Mc.

A Dog Show in Texas. 
Editor Forest and, Stream: 
It may be of interest to the many readers of your valuable 
journal in Texas and the South in general to hear that a dog 
show, in connection with a stock and poultry show, is going 
to be held in this city this fall. The Lone Star State claims 
to be at the head of the. live stock line in the United States, 
and can almost claim the same in the doggy line, it only needs 
the support of the lovers of our canine friends to make a, dog 
show a success and a permanent feature for the future. San 
Antonio boasts of harboring some of the finest and best dogs 
in the South, especially in the line of sporting dogs. The 
writer, who more or less fancies English setters, has seen a 
number of good ones, equal to any in the United States. 
Among them I noticed Fred B., owned by Dr. Berry, a very 
enthusiastic and true sportsman. Fred B. is a grandson of 
Roderigo, as fine a specimen of dogdom as can be seen any- 
where. Mr. Yates's Rod Gladstone is a very nice little dog. 
Then there is Mr. G. A, Chabot's great Tobias Twinkle, and 
so on. 
In pointers there are a number of descendants of champion 
Meteor, Graphic, King of Keut, etc., in the city; in Irish set- 
ters, sons and daughters of Dick Swiveler, Elcho Jr,,Kildare, 
etc., can be found. In fox-terriers Mr. Tuttle owns a nice 
little kennel. Any number of greyhounds, foxhounds, pugs, 
and of the whole terrier family, are owned in the city. With 
an array of so much home talent alone, the show can be made 
a grand success and an attraction which will be eagerly 
looked for by the people in the future. 
Field trials, which were held near this city on two or three 
occasions, died some time ago on account of there being too 
much "roundism" at the bottom of it. A number of gentle- 
men have been thinking this matter over, and it looks as if 
field trials this winter are going to be an established fact, 
which I hope will be true. Birds are reported to be plentiful 
this fall, and if this new organization will keep those fellows 
out who only attend on account of the "almighty dollar," 
their trials will be a success and receive the support of the 
true sportsmen in general. Uncle Dad. 
U. S. Field Trials Club Derby A Entries. 
Inclosed herewith please find list of entries' to this club's 
Derby A, Bicknell trials. This is an off year in field trials 
as well as other lines of business. However, I think we can 
come out about even. All were whelped in 1893 with excep 
tion of Tamarack, Jr. P. T. Madison, Sec'y-Treas.

Mr. Howard and the Handlers' Prizes. 
Mr. Howard, in answer to our article under the above 
heading in Forest and Stream, June 16, writes us a long 
letter in which he says that our statements in regard to the 
handlers' prizes at Louisville are not true, but further than 
that advances no proof that such is the case, simply stating 
that all the evidence is before the A. K. O, to which body he 
has made an appeal. Mr. Ritchie, a vice-president of the 
Louisville Kennel Club, and one of the bench show commit- 
tee, gave us the number of dogs each handler was entitled to 
and this was the official list by which the prizes were 
awarded. Mr. Howard then goes on to accuse Messrs. How- 
ard and Mooney, of the Columbus Fanciers' Club, of ma- 
licious persecution, and further makes statements which it 
would not be wise on our part to publish, as Mr. Howard 
offers no proof in support of his statements. One of them, 
however, we may say was that Mr. Lawrence, president of 
the club, had paid Mr. Elliott's expenses as judge of great 
Danes at their show. On writing to Mr. Lawrence and Mr. 
Mooney, the secretary, we learn that when a deficit of $500 
stared them in the face, Mr. Lawrence, for fear they would 
engage one judge for all breeds, offered to donate to the 
Board (in addition to his other donations) sufficient money 
to procure one who was competent to judge great Danes, and 
Mr. Elliott was engaged upon the recommendation of Mr. 
Howard, who had seen Mr. Elliott at the Chicago Kennel 
Club show and had talked to him about it, and Mr. Elliott's 
expenses were paid by the club's treasurer from the club's 
funds on the evening of the last day of the show. Accusiug 
other people of various acts does not exonerate Mr. Howard 
of the charges against- himself, the proof of which was con- 
tained in our issue of June 16, and about which he says 
nothing further than that it is a case of malicious persecu- 
tion on the part of certain members of his club. The sub- 
ject, however, will be brought up before the next A. K. C. 
meeting and then Mr. Howard will be afforded an opportu- 
nity to clear himself. 
Result. 
The Fox-Terrier Chronicle, which is increasingly interest- 
ing with every issue, has in a late number a capital etching 
of champion Result and a long articie on the merits of this 
celebrated terrier. It will be interesting to lovers of this 
breed to read the following: "As a show terrier every one 
knows Result; but few know him as a game workman, equal 
in every way to his performances on the bench. 'Every dog 
has his day,' however, and alas, though still well and strong, 
the poor old chap has very nearly lost his sight and teeth, 
and nis cup winning days are over; but to this moment he is 
as good as ever, and like the soldier who fought his battles 
over again, Result, when roused, can display his old form, 
and is still a model of a high-class terrier. He was not a 
large terrier, for when in hard show condition he weighed 
under 161bs. As will be seen from his portrait, he had an 
evenly marked black and tan head and ears, white body, 
with a black spot on loin." This grand dog won the chal- 
lenge cup eleven times, nearly in succession, being beaten 
on one occasion by his beautiful daughter Rachel, that is 
now in Mr. Belmont's kennel, and which led her sex a merry 
dance for the blue ribbons at American shows in years past. 
Result was first exhibited in 1S84 and at his last appearance 
in public, in 1888, he beat Vesuvienne for the 50-guinea chal- 
lenge cup, at the Fox-Terrier Club show, as well as winning 
a number of other prizes. An account of the Clarke Kennels 
is another feature of this number, and will prove "good 
meat" for its readers. Speaking of the Clarke type of ter- 
riers, this journal says: "We have heard it criticised as 
being too light and pretty, and wanting in the rough and 
ready wear and tear properties that one naturally associates 
with the fox-terrier proper. With this dictum we cannot 
altogether agree, and if we take Result as an example, where 
would we find a terrier built on better lines for work than 
the late champion, who was the right size and had make, 
shape, bone, substance and every other characteristic required 
in a workman, and the same may be said of Rachel. There 
were, not a few that might have been improved with more 
substance; but, taken all round, there is much to admire in 
the type. They were very terrier-like and symmetrical, beau 
tif ully topped with good necks, well-laid shoulders and well- 
sprung ribs, and generally good in loins and quarters. In 
fore end, cleanness of shoulders and forelegs and parts they 
were not perhaps quite so strong as other kennels, but the 
other points weighed too heavily in their favor, and they 
were generally found among the first when the judging was 
over." 
In the last issue of this journal is given a capital picture 
of Dominie from life; in fact it is about the best photo, of a 
fox-terrier we ever saw, and we commend it to all fox-terrier 
breeders as an object lesson in "front." The Chronicle also 
publishes Forest and Stream's report of fox-terriers at the 
Los Angeles and Specialty shows, in this issue. 
Mr. W. H. Wells of Lockport, N. Y , has purchased the 
fox-terrier Tanner from the Beverwyck Kennels of Albany, 
Jerome K. Jerome says of everyday dogs: "He is very im- 
prudent, a dog is. He never makes it his business to inquire 
whether you are in the right or the wrong, never bothers as to 
whether you are going up or down life's ladder; never asks 
whether you are rich or poor; silly or wise; sinner or saint. 
You are his pal. That is enough for him, and come luck or 
misfortune, good repute or bad, honor or shame, he is going 
to stick to you, to comfort you, guard you and give his life 
for you if need be— foolish, brainless, soulless dog." 
We draw attention to the merits of Hillside Kennels' fox- 
terrier Starden's King as a stud dog. In the revised stud 
card in this issue we notice, that two of his pups have won 
over $750 this season. This is surely something to be proud 
The U. S. Field Trials.? _ _^ 
The U. S. Field Trials Club's Derby entry, though it seems 
a large falling off from last year, is certainly an encouraging 
one in these days of club collapses. In the setter^di vision 
there are 35 entries and in pointers 23. It would seem that 
the divided stake and an Absolute is, after all, the most pop- 
ular form in which to arrange the competitions. However, 
this club has not escaped the blighting influences which 
seem to be attacking field trial interests at present. Last 
year this club's Derby polled an entry of 51 English setters, 
24 pointers and 4 Irish setters. It is a consolation, however, 
to know that the pointer men are keeping up the average. 
The falling off in the setter ranks is an argument in favor of 
Mr. Waters's contention that professionalism is in a great 
degree accountable for the present lack of interest among the 
purely amateur field men. 
The purchase of Rufford Ormonde is now the subject of 
conversation among collie men on both sides of the water. 
The price seems to be the principal conjecture in connection 
with this notable sale. This dog's late owners, Messrs. 
Holme & Holliday, are said to have paid Mr. T. H. Stretch 
$3,750 for him, and we know that not many moons past the 
price to his present owner, Mr. Morgan, was quoted as 
§7,500._ As Messrs. Holme and Holliday are well off for the 
material that makes the mare go it is safe to conclude that 
at least $5,000 must have changed hands on the deal. Mr. 
Panmure Gordon, the president of the Scottish Kennel Club, 
as in the case of Sefton Hero, was the medium through 
whom the sale was consummated. It may be of interest to 
note the fact that in a charance sale of his collies Mr. 
Stretch is offering Princess Margaret, the dam of Rufford 
Ormonde. 
The spaniel question will not down. Mr. Joe Kennedy, of 
Hamilton, Ont., has just recovered $200 from the express 
companies for the loss of some spaniels consigned to their 
care. 
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. G. 
Sherwood, a member of the Royal College of Veterinary Surgeons. 
Communications referring to other matters connected with Kennel 
Management and dogs will also receive careful attention. 
J. P. M.— I have a mastiff bitch, 19 months old, which I raised on a 
bottle, as the mother died in whelping, and as she is very cross have 
had to keep her on chain since she was four months old She has, 
never been in season, and I am anxious to breed heF. What is the 
cause? Ans. It may be due to some congenital malformation or ab- 
sence of some part of the sexual organs. I have known bitches not 
to come in heat till they were two years old.

A Nevice's Experience Rabbit Hunting-. 
A few years ago I made up my mind that rabbit shooting 
was the proper kind of sport for a fellow who had but little 
time to spend gunning, and was not good enough shot to 
stop the few quail and partridge that might be found about 
Boston's hunting ground. 
Says I to myself, the first thing is to secure a good dog. I 
found among the advertisements in the Forest and Stream 
one from a gentleman who advertised beagles of pedigreed 
stock and good hunters. I corresponded with him, and re- 
ceived an invitation to come out to his place, a few miles out 
of town, and see his dogs work. Boarding a train one morn- 
ing, I soon found myself at his house, and was shown as 
pretty a looking lot of beagles as one could wish to see; they 
were from imported Valentine stock, and it would take a 
man half a day to write out their pedigree. 
The next thing was to see them hunt. I had not brought 
my gun, and my host found at the last moment that some- 
thing was out of "kilter" with his, but he said it did not 
matter much, as the rabbits were hunted so much that it 
was almost impossible to obtain a shot at one. 
The beagles were taken out, six in number, not one stand- 
ing over 13in. high, and turned down in a promising looking 
bit of ground. Off they started, making lots of the music 
we read so much about, and rambled about in an animated 
manner, finally jumping a rabbit. Away went the pack, 
running the rabbit by sight, most of the time, and in three 
minutes had him in a wall. "That's pretty good work, is it 
not?" said my companion. I said it was, because he told me 
so, but I wished I had a gun, as the cottontail offered a good 
shot. 
The dogs started two others, the ruus being a repetition of 
the first. I concluded I had seen a lot of good hunting, 
picked out a bitch that seemed to do the best work, paid the 
price and carried her— yea, verily, carried her (as she would 
not lead to halter) home. 
I asked and obtained a vacation from my employer, loaded 
my new acquisition, my gun and myself into a train and 
proceeded into the State of Maine to show the natives how 
to hunt the white rabbits or hares. Arriving in due time, I 
soon was on my way to the woods, the little bitch glad to be 
loose after the long journey, capering ahead over the ground, 
which was covered with the first snow, giving vent to little 
short bays, but not showing any disposition to get into solid 
work. This will soon work off, I thought, and just then 
caught sight of a rabbit bounding unconcerned along, stop- 
ping every few yards to see what all the racket was. Bang! 
went my gun, and away went the rabbit, I whistled for the 
beagle to put on the trail, but no dog came. I called and 
whistled again, but it was as if the ground opened and swal- 
lowed her up. I went on with my hunting and bagged a 
partridge and a rabbit during the afternoon. Along about 
dusk I descried a small white object creeping along on my 
track about 50yds. behind, which proved to be my truant 
hound. After much coaxing I got her to come up to me, 
and a more terrorized animal I never saw. I was tempted to 
leave her in the woods, but did take her with me. 
The man I boarded with told me of a farmer who owned a
