FOREST AND STREAM. 
[Nov. 17, 1894. 
The following paragraphs were unavoidably crowded out 
last week: 
Mr. James Robinson, manager of the "Woodlawn Part 
Kennels, sends us some capital pictures of their new bull- 
dogs King Orrey, Hucknell Gipsey, Mischief and Grosvenor 
Lass, which make a very acceptable addition to our bulldog 
album. King Orrey's head is a study, and he is sure to 
create a sensation when he comes out at New York next 
spring. We may also look for some more phenomenal litters 
from this kennel, as Grosvenor Lass is heavy in whelp to 
King Orrey, also Rock Rose II., who we trust will prove as 
good a matron as x her mother did. The Woodlawn Park 
Kennels have now a great team of "bulls," and the dogs, we 
are happy to hear, are doing well. The two collies shown at 
Providence are coating up well and will be shown in the 
sweepstakes at New York. Duchess of Fife has just been 
mated to Conrad IT., who sired their Sunset, and Flora May 
went to Woodman sterne Trefoil last week. A litter out of 
their Marigold by Sef ton Hero is "a sight for sore 'een" as they 
say in "Jim's" native district. The kennels will dispose of 
their fox-terriers and "Irishmen," and will breed nothing but 
collies and bulldogs in the future — a very wise arrangement. 
No kennel should have more than two breeds. 
Mr.Wilmerding showed a capital stamp of old time cocker 
in his office the other day. It seems just the stamp for work. 
Plenty of daylight, good straight legs and smart in appear- 
ance. It is by Rollo out of a bitch that goes back to Black 
Prince, from whom he gets his field merit, for he is trained 
and is a good worker. Mr. Wilmerding sets a good example 
in working his spaniels. He has been selling a number of 
pups lately, particulars of which will be found in Kennel 
Notes. 
Mr. H. L. Kreuder offered 8125 for Mr. Reid's beagle Buck- 
shot before he ran at Hempstead, and he did not make a bad 
bargain, for the dog won the All-Age Stake, and besides 
being well built is a hummer in the field. Our prediction 
that he would win at Hempstead was true, for we expected 
the style of countrv would just suit him. If only Jean Val 
Jean had been there what a race these two would have given 
the judges! 
f[T Geo. S. Thomas sailed for England three weeks since and 
will spend the winter there, coming back for the New York 
show with, we hope, a team of winners. 
Mr. A. E. Foster, owner of the well-known field spaniel 
Judex, purchased from Geo. S. Thomas the crack field span- 
iel Staley Baron, winner of a number of firsts since he was 
imported last spring. Mr. Foster has entered into partner- 
ship with Mr. W. W. Watrous, and their kennels, known as 
the Wee-Wah Kennels, will be at Tuxedo, N. Y. Among 
the new dogs they have are Staley Baron, Midnight III., 
Night, Dame Trot, etc., making a good team of blacks. 
Those who were at the Terrier show sympathized with 
Messrs. L. & W. Rutherf urd in the loss they sustained by the 
death through suffocation of their well-known fox-terriers 
Warren Layman and Dusky II. The dogs were in one box, 
and were all right when placed in the baggage car. The 
railway people, with their usual intelligence, heated the 
train as if they were preparing for a blizzard, while the night 
was one of the mildest. 
We are sorry to hear that Mr. Theo. Marples's field spaniel 
Manuscript met with an untimely death last Thursdav week. 
It seems he strayed off from the Hempstead Farm Kennels 
and must have got on the trail of some pointers that had 
been walked out earlier in the day. He was found dead in a 
lot near a house within a mile or two of the kennels, and had 
evidently been treated to a load of shot, none of which, how- 
ever, had struck a vital spot. Mr. Marples sent the dog over 
last spring to be shown and sold by the Hempstead Farm. 
The owners of good bulldogs, if they wish to advance the 
interests of the breed should advertise their dogs more con- 
spicuously and this week we are pleased to see that Mr. 
Matthews avails himself of our business columns to bring 
his dogs more prominently before the public. He has just 
purchased the bulldog Reve Royal from Mr. J. R. Gilmore, 
East Orange, N. J., and with Bathos places him at stud. 
Mr. Matthews has had his eye on this young fellow for a 
year or more, ever since he won first at Newark, 1893, beating 
Romance and other good ones. His breeding includes the 
blood of Rustic King on the sire's side and Grabber by his 
dam. His own sire Rustic Swell is a dog of considerable 
reputation and is well known for certain bulldog properties 
desirable to perpetuate. Reve Royal is a well boned dog of 
501bs. weight, very large skull, good face, exceptional body, 
and has only one fault; his stern is carried a trifle too high 
to meet the views of the fastidious. His age (3 years), his 
strength and activity make him a desirable dog to use for 
breeding, and he has one especial merit which is valued 
highly; he is a pure brindle of perfect color, not a white spot 
on him, and he gets brindle puppies. Mr. Matthews writes: I 
am delighted with this new addition to my kennel, and 
hope soon to put some royal pups on the bench and increase 
the proportion of good old brindles and improve the quality 
of American-breds in particular. Old Bathos has done good 
work in the stud and is considered the best pure white dog 
in America. Reve Royal is by Rustic Swell out of Claudia 
and was imported last fall by Mr. Gilmore." 
The Seacroft Kennels are having busy times these days 
with over eighty dogs in the kennel or which Turner has 
sole charge. Last Monday their Damson whelped seven to 
Starden's King and four wolfhound matrons are due to 
whelp within two weeks. 
This kennel also purchased from Geo. Thomas before he 
left the noted black and tan terrier Gypsey Girl that has 
beaten every terrier of that'breed in America. They also 
bought the Irish terrier Sissv, a greyhound bitch by Gem of 
the Season ex Bestwood Daisy, and the bull-terrier Griffo. 
The Preston — Morris affair has at last been settled. As 
we mentioned some time since the case never came to court 
but was withdrawn on the agreement that Mr. Mortimer 
should value the bitch Lola as she was May 1, 1894 This he 
did on his return and appraised her at $135, which we expect 
is considerably more than either party expected. 
We draw attention to the fact that Messrs. L. & W. Ruther- 
f urd will sell a draft from their fox-terrier kennel this Fri- 
day, Nov. 16. A number of valuable brood bitches, dams of 
bench winners, will be disposed of as well as a number of 
young dogs. As this sale takes place during horse show 
week, there should be a good attendance of out of town 
buyers. The sale commences at 2:30 P. M. 
The reporter of the Boston Herald remarked at the 
terrier show that dog men seem to know why one dog is 
entitled to a prize and another is not, and they will not give 
away the secret. Microscopic droops of a jaw, lops of an 
ear, wobbles of a tail, slants of a back or sets of a foot settle 
the question of . supremacy. The judge will courteously 
point out the differences, but, like Dr. Holmes's gentleman, 
it takes four generations to even see these differences. 
After the serious business of the week in the dog show 
tent was over and each fancier knew the color of the ribbons 
he had won, the club members who were horsily inclined — 
and there was no exception in that — took part in the differ- 
ent tandem, saddle horse and jumping competitions on 
Thursday afternoon. H. H. Hunnewell, Jr., threw a double 
thong over a sporty looking tandem, H. W. Smith was up 
in the jumping contests and landed first with a gaunt looking, 
ewe necked, deceiving beast, Willard Clark rode a good old- 
fashioned sort in the saddle horse contest and won second. 
In fact it was a jolly time all round. 
It is said that among the ancient Germans the mode of as- 
sessing damages was very curious. For instance, he who 
killed another man's dog was to hang the slain animal up by 
the tail with the nose just touching the ground and to cover 
him with wheat so that not a hair could be seen, and this 
heap of wheat was the compensation due the owner. 
Mr. Clarence Rathbone, the owner of the well-known Bev- 
erwyck Kennels, receives some curious questions in the many 
answers to his advertisement in Forest AND STREAM. Color 
is a great stumbling block. For instance, he was told the 
other day that a fox-terrier could not possibly be thorough- 
bred unless it had an evenly marked black and tan head and 
a spot at root of tail. Another one. in speaking of a ticked 
dog, said that if the ticks were only on the hair it was all 
right, but if the skin beneath, was also black, it was "very 
bad"! Weight, too, is a hard nut to crack. He had an in- 
quiry lately for a bitch, but as a nine qua non, it must weigh 
at least 251bs.! To save himself the trouble of answering 
these and similar questions, he has arranged a circular, 
which, as it affords so much information in small compass, 
we consider it worthy of publication: 
Ears.— Should be V-shaped and rather small, of moderate thickness, 
and drooping forward closely to the cheek. 
Nose— Should be black. 
Teeth— Should be level and strong. Never undershot. 
Legs.— The forelegs, viewed in any direction, must be straight. 
They should be of strong bone throughout, the elbows working freely 
just clear from the sides. Both fore and hindlegs should be carried 
straight forward In traveling. 
Feet.— Should be round, compact and not too large, the toes moder- 
ately arched and turned neither in nor out. 
Color. — White should predominate. Brindle or liver markings are 
objectionable Otherwise this point is of little or no importance. 
Coat— Should be smooth, but hard, dense and abundant. 
Chest.— Deep, but not wide. 
Weight.— Weight within certain limits is not a criterion of a terrier's 
fitness for his work. Roughly speaking, it may be said he should not 
scale over SOlbs. in show condition. (It must be remembered that this 
weight is put as the "limit," but in the opinion of those best qualified 
to judge, from 16 to 171bs. is considered the best weight for a dog, and 
a pound or two lighter for a bitch.) 
Fox-Terrier Pluck is a point much misunderstood. It should be 
remembered that he is not intended or wished to be a dead game dog, 
or a fighting dog, as is a bull- terrier ; but he should be the best of ver- 
min dogs, and if his size will not allow him to kill the larger vermin, 
such as badgers, foxes or coons, yet he should keep up his attack and 
worry them as long as he has strength to stand. Always remember- 
ing that even a fox-terrier needs some education or experience before 
he should be expected to be a first-class worker. 
In looking over Paul Bo's stud card we see that he also 
won second in the Southern Field Trials Club's All-Age 
Stake in 1892. 
Mr. Eberhart's well-known pug bitch, Lady Verne, winner 
of first novice, Lexington, Ky., second Columbus and Chi- 
cago, died three weeks since in whelping to Bradford Ruby 
II., supposed to be the only living son of old champion Brad- 
ford Ruby. Two puppies were born dead, but five were saved 
by giving them to Mabel E., who is raising them now. This 
bitch's death is quite a loss to the kennel, as Mr. Eberhart 
had refused $150 for her soon after being bred. 
"The Scottish Terrier" and "The Irish Terrier" is the title 
of a neat brochure just received from the author, Mr. James 
E. Green, the well known manager of the Wankie Kennels, 
West Medford, Mass. The author in bringing this little 
book before the public does not claim to have unearthed 
anything new, but the idea was simply to gather together in 
compact form everything that has been written on the two 
breeds by those best qualified to do so. The old Scotch ter- 
rier is described and the gradual changes noted in the type 
of this game little dog, through the writings of D. I. Thomp- 
son Gray, Youatt, Hugh Dalziel, Rawdon B. Lee and H. J. 
Ludlow — men well qualified to afford the very truest infor- 
mation on the breed. The Irish terrier has been treated in 
the same manner. Judging from our experience in the past 
there should be a demand for such a book, as it gives infor- 
mation not easily obtainable by the average dogman inter- 
ested in the breeds and should therefore meet with a ready 
sale. 
Dr. Wesley Mills has finally won his suit against the 
Montreal Exposition Co. for payment for. services rendered 
in superintending the show of 1892. After working hard for 
the good of the show the company refused to pay him any- 
thing. Dr. Mills did not go into it for money, but after the 
great success of the show, financially and otherwise, he did 
not expect an exhibition of such meanness, and was so dis- 
gusted that he determined to make them pay and sued them. 
The judgment of the court was against him on the ground 
of no written agreement, though the value of services was 
held to be great and the amount claimed ($125) very moder- 
ate. The Court of Review (three judges) has unanimously 
reversed this decision, awarding the amount claimed with 
all costs, on the ground that it was not to be presumed that 
such work was to be done for nothing. The Toronto World 
has also paid up for the libel they published some time since, 
so Dr. Mills is coming out better in his suits than was at one 
time expected. The Mercer — Mills suit will come off in 
J anuary, we are told, if not again postponed by the plaintiff. 
Mr. Freeman Lloyd has just published a book on "The 
Whippet and Race Dog," that seems to treat on the training 
and racing of whippets in an able manner. ■ A fuller review 
will be given later. With the meeting at Brookline, the 
book came at an opportune moment, and during terrier 
week a number of copies were ordered through the Forest 
and Stream Pub. Co.

ANSWERS TO CORRESPONDENTS. 
H. G. W.. Bethlehem, Pa.— St. Bernard Bevis is by Alton (19,913) out 
of Hilda (19,191). 
J. J. M., Boston, Mass.— Feed a little flour of sulphur mixed with 
the food every alternate night. 
W. T. B., Hartford, N. J. — The A. K. 0. requires three generations 
before admitting a dog to registration. Forest and Stream subscrip- 
tion price is 84, 
E. W. C, Philadelphia, Pa.— The beagle Grayburn Daisy is by Joe 
out of Orayburn Gyp, by Krueger's Racket out of Kate, by Sport out 
of Fannie. The pedigree can be extended if you wish. 
P. B. D , South Bend, Wash.— We do not advise where to buy dogs. 
If you will conBult our advertising columns, or better still, state your 
want in a "Kennel Special," you will no doubt be able to secure such 
a dog as you require. 
M. M., Winston, Ont.— We scarcely know to what you refer. New- 
foundlands or a cross with great Danes would make good teaming 
dogs. Wurtemburg Kennels, Welland, Ont.. have great Danes, and 
Typical Kennels, Sunnyssde, Toronto, have Newfoundlands. 
A. H., Paterson, N. J.— Feed your dog on boiled rice mixed with the 
other foods you give her. The proportions you give are those of a 
fairly good-sized bitch for her age; St. Bernards keep growing till 
two years old, and sometimes a little longer. Any of the advertised 
vermifuges should rid her of the worms, 
J. H. C, Cincinnati, O.— Use Persian insect powder for the fleas. 
Dust well into the coat and allow the powder to remain on the 
dog. Stand the dog on a newspaper so that when the operation is 
concluded you can burn the fleas that drop on to it. If the kennel can 
be made perfectly airtight burn a pan of powdered sulphur in it for 
an hour or two so that all the vermin may be destroyed, then white- 
wash thoroughly, 
W. H. W., Chicago Lawn, 111.— The pedigree of the Irish setter, Bess 
HI., as given in the A. K. R., does not extend further than the 
sire and dam— Dan— Nellie. Dan was owned by Cyrus W. Field and 
was out of a bitch imported by Robert Bonner. Nellie was owned by 
David Simpson, 96 Greenwich avenue, New York-and Bess HI. was 
registered and owned by Dr. J. E. M. Lordly, 230 West Thirty-eighth 
street, New York. Probably if you write to these persons you might 
get some further information. 
A. C, Comstock, N. Y.— 1. You must never use carbolic acid on dogs 
for fleas unless well diluted; better use benzine and keep the dog out 
of draughts and away from the fire when treating. Persian insect 
powder you will find most efficient. 2. Dash and Maggie are not reg- 
istered, so we can give no particulars. 3. Yes, they were field dogs 
but their descendants have not distinguished themselves at public 
trials, the only means we have of determining this point. 4. There 
is only one stud book in America, that of the American Kennel Club, 
44 Broadway, New York. Fee for registering $1. Send to that ad- 
dress for registering blank, which gives all information. 
FIXTURES. 
FIELD TRIALS. 
Nov. 19.— National FoxhunterB' Association's meet, at Olympian 
Springs, Ky. H. L. Means, Sec'y, Louisville, Ky. 
BRUNSWICK FUR CLUB'S TRIALS. 
Nov. 5 to 9. 
The Brunswick Fur Club held its sixth annual field trials 
at North Acton, Mass. The weather, as noted below, was 
wretched, election day fell on Tuesday, and all this conspired 
to keep many hunters and hounds away from the meet. 
The judges were John Emmons, West Paris, Me.; S. B. 
Mills, Needham, Mass.; A. M. Gerry, So. Paris, Me.; F. H. 
Gledhill, Lewiston, Me., and J. N. Goss, New Market, N. H. 
These gentlemen are all well-known fox hunters and during 
the week they did a vast amount of hard work following the 
pack through the rough, snow-covered pastures, thick woods 
and wet swamps, constantly exposed to such weather as 
would have driven less hardy lovers of the chase to the com- 
fortable smoking room of the Nagog House, where the club 
made its headquarters. 
The sport was dull until Friday and then we were so fortu- 
nate as to have a run which for excitement, terrific pace, 
splendid trailing and decisive work has seldom if ever been 
equalled in New England. The only chase in the history of 
the Brunswick Fur Club which approaches it was the one at 
Ossipee, N. H., in the trials of '92, when the fox, hard 
pressed, went to earth only to leave his brush in the teeth of 
the hound leading the pack. Had it not been for the great 
run of Friday it is probable that the judges would have been 
unable to award the prizes and the trials of '94 would have 
been a failure; as it was their decisions were reached with, 
little difficulty. 
Zack, the winner of the highest honors, is a handsome' 
white, black and tan Goodman hound. He has the best of: 
legs and feet, strong body and good head and was brought, 
to the trials in splendid condition by A. B. McGregor, mana- 
ger of the White Oak Hill Kennels. He was bred by W. M. 
Hoffstetter. 
Fury, the winner of the Derby is a small, well built bitch, 
lemon and white in color. Her head is bad, being of the 
pointer type. She was bred by Mr. Whitlock and is owned 
by L. A. Dennison. 
Among those present at the trials were N. Q. Pope, 
Poland, Me. ; W. Hanscom, E. Richardson, Brooklyn, N. Y. ; 
W. B. Stone, L. A. Dennison, L. E. Conant, C. A. Schaffer, 
C. L. Wellington, Waltham, Mass.; A. B. McGregor, Geo. 
Holmes, Poland, Me.; Henry O. Stanley, F. K. Dexter, Dix- 
field,Me.;E. H. Bragg, No. Sidney, Me.; A. B. F. Kinney, 
O. A. Benoit, Worcester, Mass.; J. M. White, Millbury, 
Mass.; J. Wm. Jones, Needham, Mass.; O. F. Joslin, Oxford, 
Mass.; Bradford S. Turpin, Boston, Mass.; Geo. E. Can-, 
Holliston, Mass. ; J. H. Vogt, Chicago, 111., and the' judges 
whose names are given above. 
The charming climate of New England has so often shown 
the members of the Brunswick Fur Club its wonderful 
power to produce startling changes and nasty weather, that 
it was more in disappointment than surprise that we watched 
the light clouds of Monday morning grow thick and heavy, 
the warm air become raw and chilly, the rain turn to sleet 
and then to snow, and the landscape in a few hours exchange 
the glories of autumn for the bleakness of winter. The sud- 
den change in the weather was an unfortunate one for the 
trials as far as the number of entries and the enjoyment of 
those present was concerned, and the deep snow kept many 
at home who would otherwise have been at hand with their 
hounds. 
, A meeting of the club was held at the Nagog House on 
Monday evening, President Pope in the chair. The club 
voted unanimously to open the Derby to all foxhounds 
whelped on or after J an. 1 of the preceding year. Noel E. 
Money, of Oakland, N. J., was elected to membership. The 
entries for the Derby filled as follows: 
The Derby. 
Huskte— R. D. Perry's white, black and tan dog, whelped 
May 23, 1893 (Walker). 
Fury — L. O. D ennison's lemon and white bitch, whelped
