Other specialty clubs have done well by the show. The 
pointer class for bitches which leads at 551bs. in premium 
list is merely a printer's error, the class being for 501b. 
bitches as usual. Those who intend going to the show from 
New York by boat will be charged 75 cents per dog either in 
crate or on chain. 
Students of our business columns will not fail* to notice 
I he new stud card of the Mount Vernon Kennels, of Boston, 
Mass , owned by that genial and veteran exhibitor, Dr. C. A. 
Lougest. His mastiffs are Ingleside Maximilian, of the 
ultra fashionable head, and whose merits as a sire are known 
to all mastiff breeders; Emperor William and Emperor Max- 
imilian are worthy sons of Maximilian out of that well 
known mother of winners Gerda II. In getting short-faced, 
large-sized and good-boned mastiffs these dogs are very val- 
uable. In bloodhounds these kennels place the well known 
Alchymist, Belhus and Berry's Bradshaw, all winners; 
Alchymist especially being prized for his superb bloodhound 
character and almost faultless form of body. Champion 
Commodore, the American foxhound that has made such a 
record at the shows, is also placed at the service of the pub- 
lic. This addition to our list of stud dogs is quite an im- 
portant one. 
If straws show which way the wind blows the Pittsburgh 
show will be a success. The rivalry among local fanciers is 
intense, and some of the largest kennels in the country will 
be there. In addition to the changes announced last week, 
classes have been made for Gordon setters, greyhound and 
pug puppies; challenge classes for black and tan and Skye 
terriers; separate classes, both dogs and bitches, for Irish, 
Scotch, Dandie Dinmont, Boston and Bedlington terriers 
and cocker spaniels, and a separate bitch class for both rough 
and smooth coated St. Bernards. Mr. Hamilton, correspond- 
ing secretary, advises all exhibitors to come over the B. & O. 
R. R., which will not only give one-half rates or better, but 
will carry three dogs free and the rest at excess baggage 
rates— about 35 cents per hundred. Other railroads will 
give concessions and the one-half rate fare. The express 
companies return dogs to their owners free. Over $100 in 
money, together with a number of merchandise and other 
prizes have been received by the club as special prizes. 
These and what are received the coming week will be as 
equally distributed as possible among the classes. Entries 
close Sept. 3, and only those bearing a pn s t mark not later 
than that date will be received. Mr. W. Wade will judge 
mastiffs. The Allegheny Valley R. R. will carry dogs free. 
The Chestnut Hill Kennels, over whose destinies Mr. Henry 
"Nonchalant" Jarrett presides, report that sales have been 
good this season, though price*, except for the best stock, 
have scarcely been so large as usual. Mr. Jarrett is particu- 
larly enthusiastic over the litters he has by Christopher ex 
Modesta and Dorcas, the latter beautiful bitch being a litter 
sister to Dorothy, that sweet morsel of collie flesh whom the 
gods loved too well. The Chestnut Hill Kennels, feeling 
that they have enough dogs in challenge classes, and that 
they would like to show without risking the honorable pen- 
alties of an A. K. C. show, will bench a team at the Pitts- 
burgh show. They will also show at Providence. 
The Chesterford Park Kennels, of May wood. 111., will show 
at Des Moines with a good team, and probably at Pittsburgh- 
so it looks very much as if there will be quite a gathering ol 
the clans at the Western shows. 
express companies. With this end in view he has been in 
correspondence with the secretary of the Inter-State Com- 
merce Committee, and if the appeal fails further action will 
be taken in the matter. 
Mr. James Mortimer sailed for America last Wednesday, 
Aug. 29. Mr. Oldham sailed Aug. 25. 
KENNEL NOTES. 
English setter breeders, and field dog breeders especially, 
should read the announcement which places Mr. Diffen- 
derffer's Count Beaufort at public service. If you cannot 
procure the real article get the best you can. The merits of 
th e Count Noble blood on Gladstone and Druid— Ruby bitches 
has been pointed out recently in these columns, and here is 
an opportunity for breeders to get the next best remove 
from Count Noble, the blood of his brother Moss Wind 'em's 
son. The fee is within the reach of any breeder and for 
good looks and bird sense Count Beaufort is hard to beat. 
Mount Pleasant Kennels offer Gordon setter pups "for 
sale; J. B. Brainerd, English setters, old and young stock- 
Breeder, Yorkshire terrier pups; James Wrinkle, English 
setter. Attention is also called to the card of Harry Reeder 
& Co. , who have house pets and hunting dogs for sale. 
Mr. P. C. Nims, who is now taking a rest at Saratoga 
Springs, N. Y., informs us that his crack bitch Haughty 
Madge, that won all before her last spring, whelped July 24 
a litter of six to his imported dog Einsbury Dong; they are 
doiog well and promise to be worthy of their- blood. The 
Rookery Kennels will not show this fall, the nearby show at 
Pittsburgh being tabooed on account of the five days the 
dogs will be required to be benched. 
Mr. R. Leslie of Lynn, Mass., has sold his pointer bitch 
Kathleen Kent (champion King of Kent— champion Belle 
Randolph) to Mr. C. H. Alden, North Middleboro, Mass. Mr 
Alden has been trying to purchase her since Boston show but 
it was not until Saturday last that he came within the limit 
and this good bitch will now probably retire from the bench 
as she will be kept as a family pet. She was an improving 
sort and could probably have done even still better than her 
record of Reserve open class Boston, 2d Providence and 
vhc. Danbury 1893; 4th New York, and 2d Boston this year 
In the latter competition Mr. Leslie says "she was robbed of 
first by a light weight bitch in the class that did not belong 
there." Mr. Leslie's King of Lynn, now in trainer John 
Lewis's hands being prepared for the coming trials, is show- 
ing up very well and has the southern requisites of speed 
and range in a large degree. Kentwood, a litter brother of 
Kathleen Kent, has been returned from Mr. Burke C. Miller's 
kennel at Little Rock, Ark., where he has been handled for 
the last two sensons, and will be shown at Providence 
Since the above was written, Mr. Leslie has sold his pointer 
bitch Tempest Queen (Tempest— Nadji of Naso), litter sister 
to champion Duke of Kent H., to Mr. Thos. H. Hall of Flo- 
rida, who will use her for private shooting. This bitch 
divided first with one of Mr. LovelPs dogs at the Pawtucket 
show of 1892. This leaves Mr. Leslie with only the pointer 
bitch old champion Belle Randolph. 
Where is the crockery? My cocker Romeo while feeding 
snatched a piece of crockery from my fingers, it was about 
l>aln. square, I suppose he took it for a piece of bread I 
gave him an emetic at once and locked him up, everything 
came up but the crockery. I then fed him on potatoes for 
about a week and kept him where I could examine passages 
he bled quite a lot but did not pass the piece I tried injec- 
tions and searched the bowel but of no avail. This happened 
three months since and after the first week he has not been 
troubled in any way. Now where is the crockery?— TTbiaue 
in Canadian Kennel Gazette. Encysted probably. 
We have heard from Mr. Morris, the only member now 
acting on the A. K. C. committee deputed to arrange for 
better transportation facilities for dogs to shows and learned 
that he has asked for the appointment of others on the com- 
mittee or the taking over of the petitions that he had signed 
at the shows, by the. secretary of the A. K. C. at the last ex- 
ecutive meeting. But nothing has been done so far. He is 
now taking the same view of the matter that was expressed 
in these columns some time since that the railroads as com- 
mon carriers should carry dogs at reasonable rates whenever 
offered for transportation, and especially dogs for exhibition 
purposes, instead of turning all such business over to the

ANSWERS TO CORRESPONDENTS. 
W. L, S., Boston, Mass.— Will you kindly prescribe for mybull- 
terrier dog, fifteen months old. He has acted very mopish and lan. 
guid for a long while, has no life and is sometimes troubled with 
vomiting; he is fed once a day— at evening. His breath is bad and 
his nose turns very red. About two months ago he and another dog 
were bitten on the lips by some poisonous insect, as I suppose, and 
both their lips swelled hard; the other dog recovered and is all right 
and chipper. The bull-terrier after the swelling went down had the 
glands -of his throat swollen to an enormous size, but finally that 
went away. Since this bite he seems worse than ever and he seems 
o have rheumatic pains which stiffen him up. Ans. Give the follow- 
ng mixture: 
Pot. bicarb , , 3 j. 
Papoid , , gr . ^jj 
Tr, gent, co 3 j 
Aq. ad 5 vi, 
Mist. Give one dessertspoonful three times a day. 
Doctor, Dover, N, J,— 1. Your query as to the best hunter is too 
ambiguous. If you will give us some idea of the game you wish to 
hunt we can better answer you. 2. This you can only do by dealing 
with responsible trainers, and before you purchase see the dog at 
work or have some one else, on whose judgment you can rely, do so 
for you.

New England Beagle Club Trials. 
Editor Forest and Stream: 
At the meeting of the field trial committee of the N. E. B 
C. held in Worcester, May 25, it was voted that, the selection 
of judges for the field trials be left with the club members, 
and the secretary was instructed to send a list of eligible 
judges to each member entitled to vote, two judges to be 
selected. The two gentlemen selected to judge this year's 
trials are Mr. Charles Quynn, of Frederick, Md., and Mr. F. 
H. Biddell of Newport, Vt. The first-named gentleman 
needs no introduction to a large majority of the beagle men, 
as he attended the trials at Nanuet last year, and made a 
very favorable impression on all present. It is almost need- 
less to state that there are very few men in this country who 
understand what a field beagle should be better than Mr. 
Quynn. 
Mr. Biddell, with a few exceptions, is a stranger to us all. 
He comes highly recommended mr an honorable sportsman, 
and has had considerable experience with beagles. The trials 
will be held on the same grounds as last year, Oxford, Mass 
and begin Tuesday, Oct. 23. The presents prospects are that 
rabbits will be more plentiful than last year. Hotel accomo- 
dations are good and charges very reasonable. 
The following classes will be run: Class A, All- Age class, 
for dogs and bitches 15in. and over 13in., that have not won 
first in the All- Age class at any recognized field trial. Class 
B, All-Age class, for dogs and bitches 13in. and under, same 
conditions as Class A. Class C, Derby, for dogs and bitches 
15in. and under, whelped on or after Jan. 1, 1893. This class 
will be divided by size should a sufficient number of entries 
be obtained. Class D, champion class for dogs and bitches 
15in. and over 13in,, having won first in the All-Age class at 
any recognized field trial. Class E, champion class for dogs 
and bitches 13in. and under, same conditions as Class D 
Class F, for bassett hounds and dachshunds, all ages 
Nominations close Oct. 1 in all classes except champion 
class, which close just before starting the class. Entry fee 
in all classes, except champion class, is §3 to nominate and 
15 additional to start, the nomination fee to be paid at time 
of entry and the balance before the dogs are started. Entry 
fee in the champion class is $10, which must be paid before 
class is started. Prize money in all classes, except cham- 
pion class, will be 40% of entire entry fee to first, 30$ to 
second and 20$ to third. In the champion class 80% of the 
entire entry fee goes to the winner and also the title of field 
trial Champion. 
Other classes, such as Brace Stakes and Pack Stakes, will 
be arranged at the trials. From the present outlook the 
N. E. B C. trials of 1894 will be the largest and most success- 
ful trials ever held in America, and the competition will no 
doubt be keener than ever before in the history of the beagle. 
Entry blanks and running rules are all ready and will be 
sent to all known beagle men, but should any one be over- 
looked, the same will be forwarded at once on application. 
Any information in regard to reaching the grounds, or in 
fact anything connected with the trials will be cheerfully 
given by the secretary. W. S. Clark, Sec'y.

Show Beagles as Practical Field Dogs. 
Editor Forest and Stream: 
I notice a number of replies in your paper, to the articles 
oi both Mr. Ellis and myself. Now, if my dear friends think 
that I do not know what a good dog is I wish they would 
look to my record and see if I have not handled as many 
beagles and other dogs as most men in this State, and fur- 
ther, to see if I have not met with as good success with 
breaking dogs as the common run of kennel men. Of course 
I do not pretend to be a professional, but I can call together 
as nice a set of dogs as the next one. 
When our friend said in last week's issue that neither 
Messrs. Ellis or Robinson ever saw a good beagle, he made a 
big mistake m regards to myself, for I can say I have seen a 
good beagle, but when I wrote the letter in Forest and 
Stream I merely said, or meant to say, that you can take 
the majority of beagles and they do not amount to much and 
I can bring a great many proofs to that effect. 
D. W. Phillips and I owned at one time the Fairview Ken- 
nel, in which, I can safely say, there were as many good and 
well bred dogs raised and trained as in any other kennel 
m this State. 
I do not blame my sportsmen friends for protecting their 
favorite dog, but I think after they have handled a great 
many beagles they will come to the conclusion that what I 
have said will have a little truth in it. 
If my friends that own beagles have got- good dogs, I say 
that it has been more like a lottery in getting them. I know 
of a great many men who have bought beagles, at the same 
time where one would prove good the others would fail 
I owned at one time a thoroughbred beagle bitch and blue 
blooded at that, and raised a litter of pups from her by a 
registered dog and sold every one of the pups for a good price, 
and out of eight pups there was but one that amounted to 
much, so 1 think I have pretty good reason for not taking a 
beagle when I have the choice. 
I have now a pup which I think will make a good dog 
which came from good stock, owned by Dr. M. L. Chamber- 
of course the pup is a beagle, but a different kind from what 
most men would call a beagle; it is not one of the bow- 
legged kind, but it is a beagle just the same. 
Perhaps I never mentioned in the letter that I wrote in the 
Forest and Stream in reply to Mr. Ellis's letter on beagles, 
™ t* 1 I meant the short bow-legged and long-bodied beagle 
If I did not I wish to correct myself. 
I can plainly see that Mr. Ellis and myself have raised the 
hair of a few men through our views, and at the same time 
angered them, which was not my intention at all, but I am 
glad to see men come to the front and protect their favorite 
stock. 
If any of my friends come to Long Island this fall with 
their dogs, I wish they would call and try my dog and see if 
they will not say just the same as I have. 
When any man says he only goes out rabbit hunting just 
to see and hear the dogs run, I think that is a pretty bitter 
Eill to swallow; I never saw a man in my life that went 
unting rabbits with a dog but that he had a gun with him.
