The National Fox Hunters' Association Meet. 
Editor Forest and Stream: 
Judge J. H. Perry, chairman of the committee of the 
National Fox Hunters' Association who went to Olympian 
Springs to look after the grounds, writes: "I have of ten 
visited and hunted in the vicinity of Olympian Springs and 
know the people and country well. The people are kindly 
disposed and there are plenty of foxes. The Olympian 
Springs are two and one-half miles southeast of the Chesa- 
Eeake & Ohio R, R. in Bath county, Ky. The springs can 
e reached from the station either by wagon, omnibus or 
.hack, the road being a level pike. 
Olympian Springs was at one time a famous watering 
place. It is situated between gently rolling hills, within 
sight of high knobs on the east and gently undulating flat- 
lands on the west for several miles. Nearly all the larger 
timber has been taken off, leaving the small timber and 
underbrush, and haul roads are all over the land, which will 
allow you to gallop as fast as you like. There is but little 
cleared land and but few fences. The country in which Ave 
will hunt is about six miles wide and ten miles long." 
Word has been received from hunters in almost every 
State in tbe Union making inquiries concerning the meet, 
and it will undoubtedly be the largest gathering of fox 
hunters ever held in America. Harry L. Means, Sec'y.

Gordon Setter Trials. 
Editor Forest and Stream: 
As previously announced, the Gordon setter field trials 
will take place on the grounds of the New England Field 
Trials Club, at, Assonet Neck, Mass., on Nov. 14, after the 
club's Members' Stakes have been run off All entries for 
the Gordon Setter Stakes must be received here by or before 
Saturday, Nov. 10, together with the nomination fee of $5. 
The additional fee of 810 to start is payable on or before the 
night previous to the trials. James B. Blossom, 
President Gordon Setter Club of America. 
New York, Nov. 3. 
Mr. John H. Matthews has bought the bulldog Reve 
Royal from Mr. Gilmore, of East Osange, N. J. 
DOG CHAT. 
Mr. M. J. Flaherty of Providence, R. I., writes us: "It is 
with great regret that I am compelled to write you of the 
death of my promising young bitch Daisy Hunter III., by 
Gem— Florence, who won second prize in the class for bitch 
puppies at the late State Fair show here, and where she con- 
tracted the disease, distemper, which carried her off. She 
was 13 months old, color lemon and white same as her great- 
grandmother, and gave promise of being a good one, as she 
was showing great things, and I expected to run her in the 
trials next season if nothing happened. I have still some of 
the same litter left and will try some of them next season in 
the trials. 
Dr. Lougest, owner of the Mount Vernon Kennels, of 
Franklin, Mass. , is continually improving his already strong 
kennel. In addition to the bloodhounds we spoke of, he has 
also purchased the noted mastiff bitch Lady Cameron (E. K. 
C. S. B. 31605), by champion Lord Stafford. Mr. Higgs says 
that Lady Cameron is absolutely the shortest faced and 
heaviest wrinkled mastiff bitch in England to-day; she is in 
whelp now to his dog Viscount. Lady Cameron beat 
Brampton Beauty at the Crystal Palace show. Dr. Lougest 
has also invested in a brindle bitch; importing her for breed- 
ing purposes in order to keep up the black points. She is a 
prize winner and is a litter sister to Miss Constable. They 
were, shipped from London on Oct. 24, and would have been 
out before, but the Kennel Club did not supply the certifi- 
cates in time. 
Messrs. A. E. Foster and Watrous have purchased the 
noted field spanield Staley Baron, and Seacroft Kennels 
have bought the black and tan terrier Gipsey Girl from Geo. 
S. Thomas, who sailed for England two weeks since. 
The St. Bernard Club has instituted a St. Bernard sweep- 
stakes for St. Bernards whelped in America on and after 
April 25 and not later than Oct. 25, 1894. To be awarded at 
the St. Bernard Club show to be held in connection with the 
Farm Show at New York about May, 1895. Entrance fee is 
85 for each entry. The amount received will be credited to 
the variety (rough or smooth) and sex of the entry, the win- 
ner in each class to take the total amount received in that 
class. (The total amount received from rough dogs will be 
awarded to the best rough dog, the same with smooth dogs, 
rough bitches and smooth bitches.) The second best in each 
class will receive a club medal. Competition is restrictd to 
dogs owned by members of the St. Bernard Club of America. 
Entries close Dec. 1, 1894, with Mr. Jas. A. C. Johnson, 120 
Broadway, New York. In case the Farm Show is not held 
the stake will be declared off. 
Edward Manice, who fell from a Norwich boat and was 
drowned was not E. A. Manice of dachshund fame. 
Mr. and Mrs. E. M. Williams, the Skye breeders "and late 
owners of champion Old Burgundy, have removed to Char- 
lottesville, Va., where they intend settling and expect to be 
well represented at future shows. Mrs. Williams is think- 
ing of bringing out some toy "Poms," which should take 
well over here. 
The Collie Club has the pleasure of announcing that as a 
starter for its special prize list for the Westminster Kennel 
Club dog show of 1895, Mr. J. Pierpont Morgan has kindly 
offered the following: A silver cup to cost §50 for the best 
collie born in 1894, exhibited by a member of the Collie Club. 
A free service by either Sef ton Hero or Rufford Ormonde to 
the best bitch in the open class, owned by a member of the 
Collie Clnb and the same in the novice and puppy classes. 
A bitch winning in one of these classes cannot compete in 
the others, the service going to the next best bitch. 
The following is the proposed new classification of the

them. 
The members of the Bulldog Club will be shocked to hear 
of the sudden death of Mr. Renshaw Mason Jones, who was 
an enthusiastic bulldog owner and member of the club. A 
fortnight since he went to his Newport residence in perfect 
health, a day later was taken ill with typhoid fever and died 
Nov. 5. The deceased gentleman owned the well known 
bulldogs Derby May, Lady Grace, etc. As a friend of Mr. 
Travers he always showed His Lordship and White Venn.

United States Field Trials. 
Bicknell, Ind., Nov. 6,— Special to Forest and Stream: 
The trials began with the Pointer Derby, ten starters, 
namely: May field's Belle and Stafford's Delia, Devereux's 
Tamarack, Jr., and Mayfield's Day Dream, Tinsley's Roder- 
ick T. and Rex Faust, Blankenbaker's Lad's Lady and 
Lockhart's Halbradeu, Hempstead Don and Lady Peg II. 
Five were kept in the second series: Tamarack, Jr., Lady 
Peg, Hempstead Don, Lad's Lady and Roderick T. The 
competition was decidedly inferior. The vegetation is yet 
rank, which makes the work more difficult. Birds have not 
been found plentiful. The judges are Major J. M. Taylor, J. 
B. Stoddard and J. M. Freeman. The Setter Derby has 
twelve starters, namely: Clementina and Nora IV., Jack 
Scott and Nellie Fox, Cynosure and Tony Boy, Iroquois and 
Dixie's Flag, Wun Lung's Pride and Harvard, Tony's Gale 
and Lady Mildred. The Southern trials are postponed till 
the first week in February, B. WATERS. 
U. S. F. T. Club's Derby B. 
Editor Forest and Stream: 
In the list of Derby B. forfeitures I see that I included Mr. 
J. L, Adams's dogs Jamie, O. G. and Gilt Edge. This is a 
mistake; the forfeits were regularly paid, but I failed to 
make the entry of same on the books.

Western Massachusetts Fox Club Hunt. 
President Kinney, of the Worcester Fox Club, in his 
speech at the banquet of the Western Massachusetts Fox 
Club, forcibly expressed the hold which fox-hunting has 
upon its devotees. 
"The fourth of last month I killed a moose in New Bruns- 
wick," he said. "To-day I killed an old dog fox. Which do 
you think gave me the most pleasure?" Every fox-hunter 
knew what the answer would be and there was a burst of 
approval wheu the speaker added, "Why just five minutes 
of the dog's baying is better than five moose." 
When such words can be said of sport, is it any wonder that 
fox-hunting is popular among the old New England hills? 
The seventh annual hunt of tho Western Massachusetts 
Fox Club was held in Westfleld, Oct. 31 and Nov. 1. The first 
day was rainy in strict accordance with the precedence which 
has governed every hunt the clnb has held, but that fact did 
not prevent a large attendance and a successful meet. The 
banquet on Wednesday night was up to the high standard 
set by the club in every particular, and 150 members and 
guests listened to as fine a symposium of after dinner speak- 
ing'lis is heard anywhere. This fox club oratory is perhaps 
the distinctive feature of the hunt, and it is a question if it 
is equalled by the oratory of any other similar organization 
in existence. 
Three foxes were killed the first day, which is an excellent 
rainy weather record and four the second day. This equals 
the record of the last two years. 
The first day's hunt was in Pochossit along the foot of 
Montgomery Mountain. The hunters got an early-start and 
• had some hopes of a fair day, as it was not raining. The day 
was very damp, however, and soon the over-saturated clouds 
began to spill a little, and before noon it was raining hard. 
Among the visiting sportsmen the first day. were N.Wallace, 
who brought four hounds, and H. Schenherr of Farmington, 
Conn.; G. I. Clapp, I. C Neat, George Lux and William Lux 
of Hartford, Mr. Owens of Granby, Conn., C. E. Brace of 
Lee, W. H. Perkins of Ware, Hon. John R. Thayer, J. M. 
White, Dr. C. H. Hake, O. M. Ball.Wm. R. Dean, E. Sprague 
Knowles and President A. B. F. Kinney of the Fur Club, all 
of Worcester. This latter party brought the following dogs: 
Logan, Ned, Aggie and Fly of the Kinney-White pack, 
Biily Dean's Diamond and John R. Thayer's Joe and Guess. 
In all there were about thirty dogs on the opening day of the 
hunt. 
Foxes were killed by B. J. Babley, Arthur Dibble and A, 
B, F. Kinney. 
The scene that night in the Park Square Hotel, the head- 
quarters of the Fox Club, was bright and cheery despite the 
pouring rain outside. A Forest and Stream representative 
found the place full of hunters discussing plans for the fol- 
lowing day and the events of the day that had gone. Before 
an open fire lay the body of an old dog fox, one of the trophies 
of the day's hunt. President Roraback and the various com- 
mitteemen of the club were on hand, and the talk was as 
lively as at a political caucus. At 7 o'clock the members and 
guests fell in behind the Westfield band and marched to the 
Town Hall, where an excellent banquet had been prepared. 
Following this President Roraback made a short address 
of greeting. "When I say I am glad to see you," he said, "I 
mean every word I say." He then introduced Capt. L. F. 
Thayer, civil engineer and former chairman of the Board of 
Selectmen, as toast master. Capt. Thayer modestly remarked 
that he had protested against the appointment "with all the 
shyness he was able," but before the evening was over he 
proved that his selection had not been ill judged, and that he 
possessed all the requirements of a good toast master. His in- 
troductions of the speakers were invariably witty and to the 
point, and he had the requisite number of good stories, which 
were given out at proper intervals. 
James H. Bryan, representing the business interests of 
Westfield, was the first speaker. He was followed by Hon, 
John R. Thayer of Worcester, introduced as "chock-full of 
fox lore." Mr. Thayer remarked that though his local club, 
the Worcester Fur Club, was a strong and representative 
organization in a city of 100,000, yet only 60 or 70 persons sat 
down to its annual banquets, yet Westfield, with but 10,000 
population, could muster 150 representative citizens. He re- 
called the events of the day, and remarked that he had stood 
in a driving storm for three hours "until there wasn't a 
thing dry about me except my throat." 
Mr. A. S. Kneil was next called upon, but failing to re- 
spond, his place was taken by his running mate, Representa- 
tive Henry C. Bliss, of West Springfield. Mr. Bliss wove a 
graceful speech about the truism that the labor of one age 
becomes the diversion of the next. The bicycle, he said, was 
but the offspring of the treadmill, and the sport of fox hunt- 
ing the child of the necessity that had obliged the first set- 
tlers to hunt and fish for a living. 
Toastmaster Thayer told a little story of how, when side- 
tracked one day in North Dakota, he had his attention called 
to a handsome parlor car, likewise sidetracked, which had 
its sides and ends festooned with deer and antelope and 
ducks and geese till it was nearly hid from sight. He en- 
tered the car, and then and there made the acquaintance of 
the president of the Worcester Fur Club. Here was an orig- 
inal hunter — a man who had killed all kinds of game found 
on the continent — yet whose first love and last love was the 
sound of the hunter's horn. 
Mr, Kinney with much dry humor, told the story of the 
day's hunt. He told how the dogs had been put out on 
Mount Tekoa, four miles from Westfield and how, realiziug 
the fact that being a wet day the foxes would seek the high 
land, he had hired a farmer for a dollar to drive him to the 
top of Montgomery Mountain. It was a dollar well spent 
as proved by subsequent events. With the assistance of a 
native he had picked a good crossing and waited there an 
hour without hearing a dog. 
"Finally I heard Thayer's dogs start a rabbit I think on a 
hill called Grindstone. I said it is no use to go there. If it 
is a fox he can't stay on that little hill long." The "old 
gent" who had been his companion couldn't stand the bay-
