do totally unfit, their feet becoming frost-bitten and so sore 
that they had to be shot. This is the result we anticipated 
in a recent issue. Belgian streets are pretty rough, but they 
are as billiard tables compared to hummock ice. 
The loss of the Miranda, that took a large party to the 
shores of Greenland, or tried to do, will be interesting news to 
the fox-hunting friends of Mr. R. D Perry, who was one of 
the party, but escaped the final disaster by leaving the ship 
for Upper Labrador after the first accident, spoken of some 
weeks since. 
The crack fox-terrier, champion Dorsay, fell over a cliff 
and; was seriously lamed. 
Argyle Kennels have purchased the St. Bernard Lady 
Judith from Mr. Wiggins.

In mentioning the sale of Southern Beauty, the noted 
•greyhound, to the Terra Cotta Kennels, the proprietors say 
that we were in error in crediting Mr. Purbeck with the 
ownership of this greyhound, as they purchased her from 
Mr. Geo. S. Thomas. We were aware of the fact that Mr. 
Thomas has had the management of Mr. Purbeck' s dogs, but 
Southern Beauty has always been entered in Mr. Purbeck's 
name, and we naturally credited this geutleman with the 
ownership of this bitch at the time of sale, not being aware 
of her transfer to Mr. Thomas since the spring shows. 
Mr. Henry Jarret, owner of the Chestnut Hill Kennels, 
ran down to Wilmington, Del., the other day and picked up 
a couple of good dog pups by a son of Christopher out of 
Sadie Wilkes, first at Washington. He went one better and 
also bought their dam; she is a sister of Prince Wilkes. 
Duriiig Mr. Bradbury's absence in the West, at the cours- 
g meetings, the wire hair fox-terrier stud dog Halifax Re- 
vival, will stand at the Seacroft Kennels, Mauchester-by-the- 
Sea. Mass., in charge of Mr. W. Turner, the manager, to 
whom all communications regarding services should be 
sent. 
During Mr. Lacy's absence from this office at the Toronto 
and Rhode Islaud shows, it is desired that all matter per- 
taining to the kennel department, to insure prompt atten- 
tion, be addressed to Forest and Stream Pub. Co. 
Mr. A. C. Bradbury, manager of the Maybrook Kennels, 
^Snglewood, N. J., leaves for Huron, S. D., this week, taking 
with him the greyhounds Royal Crest, Judge Burnaby, 
Will-o'-the-Wisp, Miss Dollar III., Jim Boy, Southern Belle 
;and Lady Pembroke. This is a good team, and we trust 
ithat Mr." Bradbury may be able to put them in such con- 
dition that the Western coursers will not run all the decid : 
ing courses. The four first named have tasted the alkali 
dust of the plains before, Royal Crest heing no mean foe in 
any company, as his victories at the Oaks and Huron meet- 
ings demonstrated. 
Mr. C. D. Bernheimer seems to have relinquished his idea 
of getting together another kennel of fox-terriers. His 
fancy is running & la Fravq.aise just at present, having pur- 
chased some poodles from the Meadowmere Kennels, of 
Southampton, L. I. The transfer included Rajah, a noted 
winner, and three young bitches. After John Stokes left 
Mr. Huntington's kennel he took Mr. Hearn's old kennels at 
Passaic, N. J., with the intention of starting, a boarding 
kennel. Mr. Bernheimer has now taken the kennel and in- 
stalled John Stokes as manager. 
Mr. Mortimer did not come on the Germanic last Friday, 
as expected. Among those who were waiting at the dock 
was Mr. Ed. Corrigan, manager of the Meadowmere Ken- 
nels, who was expecting twenty-four poodles that Mr. Mor- 
timer purchased in Paris for Mr. Trevor. From all accounts 
poodles seem to be the best selling dogs of the day, and we 
Hear of one or two fanciers who intend to try their luck with 
the "curlies." Their smartness, intelligence and "chic" car- 
riage commend them as ladies' pets, and as such there seems 
to be a good demand. 
The American Kennel Club is making a collection of cat- 
alogues of every dog show held in America. Among the 
collection so far gathered there are several very interesting 
mementoes of the old dog days. One catalogue is of the New 
York show of 1881, said to be the first interleaved catalogue 
of a dog show issued in America. Probably, excepting the 
JsTew York show, one of the earliest catalogues in existence 
is that of the Philadelphia State Kennel Club show, held in 
the Horticultural Hall, at Philadelphia, in November, 1877. 
As showing the changes in dogdom since then we note that 
there were 25 Newfoundlands entered in the dog class and 5 
in bitches. Pointers and setters were the principal breed -t 
represented and classes were well filled in '•native English 
setters" and "native red and red and white setters, either 
Irish or crossed." Classes were also made for "black and 
tan or crossed, black and white and tan Gordon setters." 
Only two fox-terriers were entered! Beagles and greyhounds 
tilled well, and black and tan terriers with 32 entries mnst 
have been an interesting gathering to say the least, while 
Skye terriers with 38 entries shows a dropping off in the 
fancy at the present time, though probably one of our pres- 
ent day Skyes was worth a bushel of the 1877 crop. We 
notice in this catalogue that the performing dogs are referred 
to as the troupe of "canine graduates." If any one has spare 
copies of the older shows, the A.K.C. would be glad to re- 
ceive them, as all these old catalogues should be kept as val- 
uable records. 
The Stock-Keeper (Eng.), no doubt very justly, draws at- 
tention to the slipshod form of crediting which some of our 
contemporaries use when they are in need of padding from 
that journal. While we agree with our esteemed contempo- 
rary in the cause for grumble we think it would have been 
more to the point if it had been invidious for once and not 
included all kennel journals under the condemnatory allusion 
fco "our American contemporaries.'" The italics are ours, 
and we use them, invariably. 
Without "Forest and Stream"— Never! 
I have had no outing this summer, as yet, but hope to take a trip to 
soutn eastern Oregron next month. It I do, and meet with any pleas- 
ing incidents, 1 will send you some notes of the trip. I could get 
along without bread and meat in the house for a while, but without 
Forest and Stream— never! Arkfar.

Coursing Meet Fees. 
Indianapolis, Ind.— Editor Forest and Stream: In your 
issue of Sept 8 Mr. L. P. Bartels has an article about high 
entry fees. He states that the Altcar Club placed its entry 
fees so low because the Kenmore Club last fall had done so. 
The entry fee for both stakes at Kenmore meet was $10. 
How that compares with a S5 fee in the Altcar Produce 
Stake I fail to see. Q. Van Hummell.

ment met him on every side, he has quietly kept his own counsel and 
has taken his beating m mfully, without a word of evasion or excuse. 
There are very few old yachtsmen who could stand the test that Mr. 
Gould has been put to, of losing gracefully, or who would avoid, as he 
certainly has avoided, the mistake of expressing his opinions when 
the sting of defeat is yet keenest; and thus putting himself on record 
in a way that he would afterward be ashamed of. 
The sole fault that Mr. Gould has committed is the fact that he 
dared to risk the defeat of an American yacht by putting her into 
open races in which the chances were not all in her favor ; and in put- 
ting the claim made for her last year, of champion of the seas, to a 
test which, though necessarily severe, is no more than is needed to 
prove her right to that ambitious title. 
So far from any condemnation and repudiation by the New York 
Yacht Club as representing American yachtsmen, which is what the 
Herald's proposal would amount to, Mr. Gould has, even in his defeat, 
f ally proven his right to recognition as a representative of the best 
class of young American yachtsmen, bold, modest and spirited, 
sparing nothing to win but taking his losses like a man. 
Tf the Herald's plan could be put into practice the result would be 
edifying in the extreme. Living up to the spirit of the plan, an ideal 
jury to pass upon the qualifications of ambitious young yachtsmen 
would be composed of such "prominent yachtsmen" as those whose 
views so often ornament its columns, men who still believe that the 
schooners of 1870 are faster than the racing craft of to-day, who still 
swear bv Kirby's Arrow as the fastest singlesticker ever afloat, who 
pronounce Vigilant a copy of Steers's sloop Julia, and who measure 
the merits of a steam yacht by the cubic contents of the wine bins. 
Even such a jury, acting up to its own standards, might find it a 
difficult matter to impugn Mr. Gould's standing as a yachtsman. If 
they were to question him by the old-time standard of a true yachts- 
man before the aee of steam, the ownership of a big, slow, and boxy 
schooner, he could point to the old Hildegarde. If they accepted the 
more modern standard, the ownership of a shapeless, unwieldy and 
inconvenient steam yacht, he could show one quite as big, homely and 
generally unfitted for real steam yachting as any other American- 
built craft. If they were to go further, and question him on the 
practical details of sail making, seamanship, navigation and center- 
board construction, it is quite possible that they might find grounds 
for disqualifying him; but such a course would be manifestly impos- 
sible, as their own ignorance of such matters of practical yachting 
would put it out of the question. On the whole, we fear that the 
Herald's proposal is not likely to be acted upon by any club, here or 
abroad. 
Open Boats in Huntington Bay. 
Labor Day was celebrated on Huntington Bay, L. I., by the ener- 
getic sailor men of the vicinity and their friends by a boat race in 
which there were three classes entered, for silk pennants as prizes. 
The first class was for sloop-rigged sail boats; second class, catboats 
20ft. long and upward; third class, catboats less than 20ft. 
The course was from the float in front of Locust Lodge, to Target 
Rock on Lloy is Neck, to Mason's dock (Eatons Neck), to the float 
and repeat. The afternoon was clear, wind strong N.E., a good sea 
on. \*l ^jnjjWjHE 
At 3 o'clock the gun gave the signal for the start, the boats having 
heeo-playing around the line in beautiful form since the firing of the 
preparatory gun. Some six catboats crossed the line simultaneously. 
During the entire race the boats were visible and their movements 
distinguishable from the shore. The sloop Leader, Capt. Cheesebor- 
ough, of Northport, crossed the line the winner. 
Thecatboat Gertrude, Capt. Tom Brown, of Huntington Bay, out- 
sailed all the other catboats. Spray, Capt. H. Gordon, of Huntington 
Harbor, won in the second class catboats. 
Interest was most centered upon the contest between Gertrude and 
Shadow, for Shadow, owned by George W. Brown and C. Scudder, has 
been considered the fastest boat of her size in Huntington. The race 
was won in a little over two hours. Gertrude gained the prize by 6m. 
5s corrected time. 
The shores were lined with enthusiastic friends. Prizes were deliv- 
ered to the winning captains, and the judges of the race in accord- 
ance with the sentiments of the crews and their friends are to appoint 
a committee to organize a yacht club which shall consist of boats be- 
longing to all the harbors included iu the boundaries of Huntington 
Bay. 
Indian Harbor Y. C. Special Races. 
GREENWICH — LONG ISLAND SOUND. 
Monday, Sept. 3. 
The Indian Harbor Y. C. celebrated Labor Day by a series of three 
races, one for the 21-footers, the last for the Osborn cup; one for 
cabin cats, for the Wells cup, and a private match between Banshee 
and Crocodile. Before the race the cats Hornet and Areka were in 
collision, the latter being badly damaged. There was a strong east 
wind and a Bea. Houri made a poor start, having to recross, and 
finally gave up. The full times were:

tHUNTING AND COURSING NOTES. 
The date of the Altcar Coursing Club meeting has been 
changed to Oct. 30. This is the same date as the Cheyenne 
meeting, and further change may have to be made. 
Thk abuse of the Goulds in the American press since they ventured 
to purchase and race Vigilant has at least been bold and outspoken; 
but even this cannot be said of the attack of the New York Herald 
last week, through the medium of an unknown foreign correspondents 
who, in turn, quotes some straw "American yachtsman;" the whole 
thing being indorsed by an editorial, as quoted elsewhere. 
Apart from the contemptible insinuations as to Mr, Gould's standing 
as a yachtsman, the proposed certificate of ability, or respectability, 
is as absurd as most of the Herald's practical suggestions in naval 
architecture and yachtin*. 
Mr. George Gould, whose standing as a yachtsman is thus covertly 
attacked by the Herald, joined the New York Yacht Club at the age 
of seventeen (in 1881), and the Larchmont Y. O. a year later, owning 
and racing for a couple of seasons one of the crack boats of the day. 
Even at this time he was intimately connected with his father's vast 
business interests, assuming responsibilities such as few men of his 
age are capable of bearing. As the demands on his time became 
greater, he gave up yacht racing, but for the past dozen years he 
has owned a large schooner, making his home aboard each season 
with his family. 
This year, at the age of thirty, he has returned to yacht racing in a 
way that might put to shame many older and more experienced 
yachtsmen. He has purchased the fastest yacht afloat, secured the 
services of her designer, her sailmaker and the first of American 
racing skippers, with able assistants in every department, and he has 
left to these experts the work with which he does not pretend to be 
more familiar than they are. 
There are two things in this season's work which show the character 
of the man; so far as has thus far appeared he has not, from the 
first, interfered in any way with the experts that he placed in com- 
mand of the yacht; he has used every effort to race the boat on all 
possible occasions, he has spared neither time nor money in over- 
coming the obstacles which beset him in the way.pt accidents and 
failures of hull and gear. Even his most severe critics have not ac- 
cused him of hurting the boat's chances by meddling with her captain. 
What is even more in his favor is the fact that the whole expedition 
was undertaken quietly and unostentatiously, without a boastful 
word, or a threat of the dire defeat in store for the foreign fleet at the 
hands of the American champion; and afterward, when disappoint

Sewaren Land and Water Club. 
SEWAREN— STATEN ISLAND SOUND. 
Monday, SepU S. 
The third regatta of this season of Sewaren Land and Water Club 
was held on Labor Day over a six mile trianglar course on Staten 
Island Sound. . 
The start was over an imaginary line from the new club house to 
the cutter Volo, and the boats sailed twice over the course. The wind 
was sharp from the northeast and a lively sea was running. The 
race was without time allowance and the first, second and third boats 
going over the course and crossing the finish line were awarded the 
prizes. The summary is as follows:
