course, lie oannot please every one, but he will let the losers 
down as lightly as possible, Mr. Oidhani has the confidence of 
the spamei men and women, for he is a consistent as well as a 
conservative judge, and while he leans rather to the "parlor" 
cocker he is not so bigoted Out that, it opportunity affords, he

Uie bulldog judge, we have reason to believe, is not in love wild 
the position naif so much as he is with the breed, but as a

Mr. jyjLayhew is an old hana at the game, stdl his task is not an

KENNEL NOTES. 
Mr. T. A. Carson, of Kingston, Ont., has purchased the noted 
Irish water spaniel Biddy Malone. This addition gives him 
about the strongest kennei in this breed. 
Mr. " Dick " Morgan, who has been located at Humboldt, 
Tenn., since October, in sending us a "Kennel Special" and the 
compliments of the season, oalls our attention to a circular 
which he encloses, entitled '• Howl ManageMy Dogs A-J7ieid," 
that gives the sportsman a few bints in tne way he should train 
up his dog, and from which we gather that Mr. Morgan's max- 
ims are to go slow, keep your powder dry and your temper cool; 
don't defer till to-morrow the punishment or correction that 
should be given to-day, and make a companion of your dog 
whenever it is possible. 
Mr. jJLorgan's experience with hold dogB extends over a period 
of thirty years, and this fact, as he aptly remarks, argues that 
he is no "chicken" at the game. It is not often that one can 
get trainers to " give away " their kennel secrets, but " Dick " 
Morgan is an exception, and a few of his simple directions for 
dogs at work in the field will no doubt prove of practical benefit 
to the rising generation. 
11 1. At night remove every burr or foreign substance in dog's 
coat before he sleeps. Examine between his toes for burrs and 
briers and remove them. 
"2. To toughen or harden a dog's feet, the bottoms, pour 
some common pine tar in a pan and put the dog's feet in it, so 
that the ball and bottom ol loot is thoroughly covered.* If there 
is any dust in the road just simply walk the dog along in it two 
or three times and that will be sufficient to harden hia feet 
good. If dust is not available dry some road dirt before the fire 
and use it. This remedy is used for hardening dog's feet for the 
prairie, and is good and sure. 
" For canker in the ear take one pint cider vinegar, 16 grains 
of iodine and 32 grains of iodide of potassium. Mix, wash out 
ear well and apply daily. Two or three applications will cure 
any ease I have ever seen. 
" 4. Wash for dog's eyes. Cold tea is very beneficial. 
" S. Purgative. To move a dog's bowels I use castor oil. 
" 6. Emetic. I use common table salt dissolved in warm water. 
" 7. Tonic. Every week or ten days I put a handful of lac 
sulphur in my mess of feed ; about a teaspoonful to each dog. 
" 8. To keep skin ingood condition. First keep him in a clean 
place, warm and dry. Change his bedding at least once a week, 
and see that at no time he fouls it. By giving your dog a run 
niglit and morning he will keep his quarters clean. This applies, 
of course, when the dog is not being hunted. I feed once a day 
only, except when I am working my dog hard, then a light 
breakfast is in order. 
" 9. Sore ears ; the leathers. I use vaseline. 
"10. Chafing. Under his arms and around his stern, where 
there is any friction to his working parts, I use the following, 
rubbed in with a sponge or paint brush, going over every part 
thoroughly: Oil of tar 2 ounces, sulphuric acid 1 ounce, fish oil 1 
pint. Mix. This is also a good mange remedy. 
"Peed. Where table scraps can be had in sufficient quantities 
I prefer them if they are not spiced up. My feed in the South 
consists of old corn meal two-thirds, and wheat bran one-third. 
Beef boiled until in pieces, thickened, and then put in cooling 
box and fed cold. Never be afraid to give your dog fresh meat. 
Some every day would be good, and a dog will relish it alter a 
day's hunt. In confinement fresh meat is not so essential, still 
a little will not hurt him at any time." 
These are the common complaints that all dogs at work in the 
field are subject to, and their remedy, according to the above, 
has this advantage, that it does not require a whole pkarniacoe- 
pia to accomplish. 
A quarterly meeting oE the New England Kennel Club was 
held in the club rooms on Tremont street, Boston, Jan. 3. The 
members present were President Brooks, James L. Little, Geo 
A. Fletcher, A. B. Cobb, Samuel Hammond, Jr., O. W. Donner, 
C. S. Hanks, W. B. Atherton, D. E. Loveland. There was little 
business transacted, the committee on constitution and by-laws 
making their report, which was accepted. Preparations are 
being made for the show in April next, which is expected to 
excel all previous efforts. A very enjoyable smoking concert 
was held by the club, and as "Work for Teiriers" seems to l)e 
the main topic of conversation among the New England terrier 
men just at present, President Brooks gave a dissertation on 
Dandies with one of his terriers as an object lesson. Where 
several New England dog men are gathered together there is 
usually a lunch not far off", and this occasion was not an excep- 
tion. An enjoyable evening was spent and it is expected that 
the experiment will be repeated. What a funny thing it is that 
New York fanciers cannot start a semi-social clubl Surely it 
would not require much preliminary outlay and would be the 
meansof affording dog men an opportunity to discuss the merits 
and demerits of their favorites, and contribute to a general 
good feeling among the fanciers of the city. 
It is reported that the well-known bulldog Handsome Dan 
has joined the majority. Probably there was no bulldog in the 
country better known to the general public than Mr. Graves's 
Yale mascot. In 1892, we believe it was, Dan, decked out in 
Yale blue, was paraded round the football field before the mem- 
orable match with Princeton; and again on the occasion of a 
late Yale-Harvard boat raoe, Handsome Dan occupied the post 
of honor in the bow of the Yale launch. Handsome Dan was 
whelped Nov. 6, 1887, and during his career had won several 
prizes. Though never in the front rank as a show dog, he occu- 
pied first place in the hearts of all contemporary Yale men, and 
they at least will be sorry to hear of his death. His owner, A.D. 
Graves, was a prominent football player, and also rowed in the 
winning boat during his college term. 
Mr. E. D. Damon, owner of the pointer Strideaway, has sold 
the well-known brace of English setters, Bod's Chaff and Bod's 
Mirth, by Boderigo— Gladstone's Girl, to Mr. George Crocker. 
These two, it will be remembered, were of the same litter as the 
noted field trialers, Bod's Sue and Dot Rogers. Mr. Crocker also 
purchased Jilt, a daughter of Strideaway, and Ightfleld Tegie. 
She will be trained for future Derbys. Mr. Damon has purchased 
the English setter dog Cash Soy by Vanguard— Georgia Belle, to 
We are surprised to learn that nr. Griffin, of Hamilton, Ont., 
has disposed of his noted VVentworth Kennels of bull-terriers. 
Champion Principle, Edgewood Robin, White Rose and White 
Star are now owned by Mr. F. T. Miller, ol 'loronto. Barton 
goes to N. N. Taylor, of Kingston, Ont., and Mr. R. Kay, of 
Detroit, bought W entworth County and Wentworth Prince, and 
J. D. Bruce, Northwestern Territory, purchased Murray. Went- 
worth Tnelma finds a home with Mr. Miles Hunting, and Dr. 
Griffin presented Wentworth Beau to Mr. John Hendrie, of 
Hamilton. 
Simonian, the noted greyhound, was received at Elsham 
from Russia in such an emaciated condition that Col. North 
refused to take him. Only the greatest veterinary skill suc- 
ceeded in keeping the dog alive, B.e is better now, but will be 
useless at stud. Word has been received from Russia to sell him at 
auction for what he will bring, and the crack will probably be 
put up at auction at Rymill's sale at the Barbican Repository on 
Jan. 26. 
A movement is on foot to organize a Bedlington terrier club. 
The promoters are Messrs. W. H. Russell, Thomas Pearsall, H. 
R. Cniids and M. A. Theiberg, to whom communications in 
regard to the proposed eluu should be addressed. A meeting 
will be called this month and the first annual meeting may be 
held during the W. K. C. show. Tue Bedlington terrier haB 
languished somewhat in late years and a specialty olub to look 
after its interests will, no doubt, help to make this game terrier 
better known. 
National Beagle Club Meeting. 
A quarterly meeting of the National Beagle Club of America 
was held at the A. K. C. rooms, 44 Broadway, New York, Jan. 4, 
J. W. Appleton in the ohair. Tne other members present were 
H. F. Schellhaas, Geerge W. Rogers, George Laick, John Bate- 
man and N. A. Baldwin. 
The new officers for this year were installed and are as fol- 
lows: President, H. L. Kreuder; First Yiee-President, T. W. 
Appleton ; Second Vice-President, Herrman F. Schellhass ; Third 
Yioe- President, George B. Post, Jr.; Treasurer, George Laick; 
Secretary, George W. Rogers. Executive Committe, with the 
above officers: A. D. Lewis, N. A. Baldwin, J. B. Loxier. 
Mr. J. W. Appleton resumed the chair in the absence of the 
president. On motion the chairman appointed a committee to 
audit the accounts ol the secretary-treasurer for the year 1894. 
In the matter of alleged fraudulent beagle pedigrees issued 
by Mr. John Jarvis, it wag voted that Mr. Best be advised that 
the case was brought before the A. K. C, which recommended 
the following, "That charge be dismissed, but that Mr. John 
Jarvis be reprimanded for carelessness in the issuing of the 
pedigrees and warned that any future errors of a similar nature 
will be severely dealt with, and the A. K. 0. requests the privi- 
lege of retaining the correspondence." 
After oomsiderable discussion it was voted that the club 
claim the date Nov. 11 for their next field trials, and the A. K. 0. 
will be notified of such claim. 
In the case of the killing of Mr. John Bateman's two beagles, 
Mr Bateman said that he personally did not wish to prosecute 
the man for certain reasons which he' stated, but would appear 
as a witness and state his case before the Society for the Pre- 
vention of Cruelty to animals. It was voted that the chairman 
appoint a committee to confer with the Society and lay the 
evidence before them, and try and have the man punished. 
Mr. H. L. Kreuder aud H. W. Lacy were appointed. 
The f oliowing new members were elected : Daniel F. Sum- 
mers, Thorndale, Pa.; A. D. Heald, Westchester, Pa. 
It was voted that Mr. Pottinger Dorsey's name be stricken 
from the list of the club's official judgeB and that the American 
Kennel Club be notified to that eftect. 
It is proposed by the olub to offer at the coming Westminster 
Kennel Club show a special prize of a piece of silver plate for 
the best beagle bred by a member of the club, to be competed 
for by members of the National Boagle Club of America. 
The meeting then adjourned. Geo. W. Rogers, See y.

HUNTING AND COURSING NOTES. 
Mr H A. P. Smith, Digby, Nova Scotia, has been having a sad 
time 'with distemper in his kennels, and has lost seven fox- 
hounds and three beagles. The death of the beagles was par- 
ticularly unfortunate, as they were by Louie— Fitz Lee, and the 
only ones of his get which Mr. Smith possessed. Louie it will 
be remembered, made a wonderful record at the first JNow 
England beagle trials, and was lost this year just previous to 
running in the second trials. Mr. Smith has just added to his 
pack the foxhound Joe Forester, winner of the highest honors 
at the second field trials of the Brunswick Fur Club.

Mr R D. Perry has closed Popple Camp, so well-known to 
New England fox hunters, and taken up his residence at Iree- 
port, Me. 
ANSWERS TO CORRESPONDENTS. 
F. A. 0., Oswego, N. Y.-My setter dog is so lame in one hind 
eg that he will not touch it to the ground. It has been most 
thoroughly examined. No reasonable amount of pinching or 
twisting will make him flinch. It came on rather gradually. 
After each hunt he would be more lame, and then would im- 
prove with rest; but now has become chronic He will scratch 
himself with that foot as vigorously as with the other Is t 
weakness, paralysis or rheumatism, or something o ; that sort? 
Ans. Probably disease of some of the joints. Take him to a 
veterinarian. ^ mimmta

Tlie Cup Correspondence. 
The following letters were made public on Jan. 2 by Com. 
Smith: 
New Yobk, Dec. 24, 1894. 
Richard Gh-ani, Bsq., Secretary R&yal Yacht Squadron, Cowes, 
Isle of Wigld. 
Dbab Sie: We write to confirm our last cables. On Dec. 10 
we cabled Lord Dunraven: "Can agree to no conditions as to 
holding Cup. If the challenging club will sign a receipt for the 
Cup as provided in the deed of 1887 wowitl accept the challunge. 
We must adhere to the ten months' notice from Dec. 6, but will 
advance date later if possible. Wo think best to leave all other 
unsettled questions until your arrival. Smith, Chairman." 
On Deo. 17 we cabled you: "As the America's Cup is pu L eiy 
a challenge trophy, and only valuable as such, wo cannot agree 
that scpiadron, after having won a match for it, may reject the 
custody of it." By cable of Deo. 10 we agreed to aceupt chal- 
lenge on condition that squadron would receipt for Uup on terms 
of deed without conditions. We will wait uutil Jan. 15 lor 
official reply from squadron, and fix first race ten months from 
receipt of their- answer, and will advance date if possible later 
on. Smith, Chairman." 
On Dec. 20 we cabled you: "Will fix first race eight months 
from receipt of advice from squadron that terms of ours, 17th, 
are officially agreed to, and Dunraven's request lor three weeks 
to fit out after arrival is granted, smith. Chairman." 
We repeat these cables to prevent any error in transmission 
or from lack of punctuation, and to point out that the question 
requiring the squadron's action is lully stated in our despatch 
ol Dec. 10, to which the others respectfully refer. 
In respect to your last cable of Duo. 19, and our reply, a few 
words of explanation seem proper. Your expression, "or 
within three weeks of arrival," we interpreted to mean that, iu 
case Lord Dunraven's vessel arrived less than three weeks 
before the date set for the first race, we should shift the date bo 
that he could have the three weeks to fit out. 
We were unable to understand your repetition of the pro- . 
posal already submitted in your message of Dec. 15, viz.: That 
•'the matter of receipting satisfactorily to the New York Yacht 
Club for the Cup should be left until after the race." As we had 
already declined this in our message of Deo. 17, we think a dis- 
agreement as to terms and a refusal to take and defend the Cup 
after having Bailed a match for it would have been a most de- 
plorable state of affairs for both parties. We were also entirely 
in doubt as to what portion of Lord Dunraven's letter of June 
24, 1889, you alluded to or what the force of this reference was. 
For the above reasons these portions of your despatch were not 
specifically replied to. We remain, your obedient servants. 
A. Cass Caneield, Seo'y. James D. Smith, Chairman. 
27 Nobfolk Steeet, Pajuc Lane, ( 
London, Dec. 21, 1894. J 
Dbab Sie: I beg to acknowledge the receipt to-day of your 
letter of the 11th inst. As the question of the nature of the 
receipt which the New York Yacht Club require the Royal Yacht 
Squadron to give in the event of their representative winning 
the Cup will be brought before a special meeting of the squadron 
on Jan. 7, it is unnecessary for me to trouble you with my per- 
sonal views on the matter. 
It will be within your recollection that the committee appointed 
by the squadron in 1889 declined, for certain reasons mentioned 
in their letter of J une 27 to you, to agree to confirm my chal- 
lenge with the condition attached that "if the Cup iB won by the 
club challenging, it shall be held under and subject to the fuU 
term of the new deed." Obviously that opinion cannot be 
amended nor in any way altered save by the authority of the 
Royal Yacht Squadron, and therefore I demur to the assump- 
tion in your letter that I personally have any power, or have had 
any power in the matter. I regret that I was not able to 
announce my intention of challenging earlier than I did, but as 
I had never received the slightest intimation that the challenge i 
accepted in 1892 was considered unsatisfactory in any way by 
the New York Yacht Club, it never entered into my head that a 
similar challenge would be refused in 1894, and that any contro- 
versy on that subject could possibly arise. In my letter of Deo. 
I I gave my reasons for not wishing to race in October, or even 
late in September, and asked for a modification of the ten 
months' notice. The challenge was cabled' out and was received 
on Dec. 6, and I would point out that had the question ol the 
terms on which the Cup should be held in the future not been 
raised, a very slight modification of the ten months' notice 
wouid have met my views, I much regret that we are some- 
what driven into a corner as to time, but as I could not possibly 
foresee that a challenge accepted in 1892 wouid be refused in 
1894, 1 do not think I can blame myself for it. I am, dear sir, 
yours faithfully, Donbaven. 
James D. Smith.
