The Eastern Field Trial Club. 
The meeting of this club was held on Thursday afternoon in 
Madison Square Garden. The reading of the minutes of the 
previous meeting was dispensed with. Prof. Edm. H. Osthaus 
and Mi - . F. A. Hodgman were elected to membership. The 
resignation of Mr. P. H. O'Bannon was accepted. The Secre- 
tary-Treasurer's report was not read, owing to his papers being 
absent. 
The same stakes as those of last year were established, except- 
ing the selling stake, which was abolished. The Members' Stake 
entry fee is $10, the prizes to be 60, 25 and 15 per cent, of en- 
trance. The entries in this stake close the night before the 
running. Winners of open field trials are barred. The trials 
will commence with the Members' Stake on the third Monday 
in November. The Derby has $600, divided into $300, $200 and 
$100. All Age Stake the same. The Subscription Stake is open 
to all setters and pointers, The prizes are $300, $150 and $50. 
' Bach subscription entitles the owner to start any dog he 
pleases, whether it is his property or not. It is transferable to 
[ any man who is not objectionable to the club. Each heat is to 
be" two hours long. It was carried that the initiation fee be 
suspended uutil further notice. A special meeting was called 
for the last Monday in March, 1.30 P. M., at the office of Mr. F. 
R. Hitchcock, 67 Wall street. New York. Notice of contem- 
plated changes in the constitution was given. 
The American Mastiff Club. 
'The club held its annual meeting ou leb. 20, in Madison 
Square Garden. Mr. Richard H. Derby in the chair. There 
were present Messrs. Stephenson, Wincliell and Mead. The 
business of the last meeting and of the executive committee 
meeting was read and approved. The report of the committee 
on pedigrees was read and accepted, with the usual appropria- 
tion for clerk hire. The officers for the ensuing year are: 
President, Richard H. Derby; Vice-Presidents, Robert Lenox 
Belknap, F. T. Underhill and George G. Stephenson; Executive 
Committee, R. H. Derby, R. L. Belknap, F. T. Underbill, Geo.

action toward vindicating Dr. Lougest in a new action toward 
the vindication of Dr. Lougest. 
The Collie Club of America. 
The annual meeting of the club was held in Madison Square 
Garden, on Wednesday, Feb. 20. The seventh annual report 
of the treasurer showed the encouraging balance of $699.49 in 
the treasury. Among other matters, Mr. Shotwell in his report 
said: "More time and attention should be given to developing.a 
greater interest than is at present shown in competing for the 
various stakes and prizes. There has been a great falling off in 
this respect, which with proper care might be regained. I feel, 
however, that it is impossible for me to give the time necessary 
to carry on this work, and the interest of the club requires that 
you should select some one to take my place. I cannot omit 
referring to Mr. John L, Lincoln, one of our Executive Com- 
mittee residing in Chicago; he has obtained, during the past 
year, three life and five annual members." The secretaries 
report was accepted. Following is the list of officers elected: 
President. Jenkins Van Schaick; Vice-Presidents, Thos. Hi 
Terry and J. Pierpont Morgan; Executive Committee, Jenkins 
Van Schaick, J. Pierpont Morgan, Martin Dennis, Thos. H. 
Terry, A. D. Lewis, J. D. Shotwell, Robert McEwen, James 
Watson, Dr. L. C. Sauveur, J. u. Lincoln, Jr., and Henry B. 
Cromwell; Secretary, A. D. Lewis, 44. Broadway; Treasurer, J. 
D. Shotwell.

1895. Mr. W. L. Washington in the chair. Present., Messrs. 
W. L. Washington, G. Langran, J. B. Blossom, Dr. G. G. 
Davis, and Geo. H. Thomson, and by proxy, Ray Tompkins 
and J. B. McKay. The reading of the minutes of the previous 
meeting was dispensed with. The treasurer's report was ap- 
proved. Dr. G. G. Davis and Geo. H. Thomson were appointed 
a committee of two to revise the constitution and by-laws, sub- 
ject to the approval of the club. The following officers were

Pratt, Col. J. Ruppert, Jr., H. D. Johnson, and Miss Whitney. 
The minutes of the previous meeting were approved. 
Miss Whitney reported having examined about 300 pedigrees 
of St. Bernards sent to the club for approval, and found 
evidence of gross carelessness in many of them. Mr. Pratt was 
appointed to confer with the Ameijican Kennel Club to ascer- 
tain what could be done to secure greater accuracy^and lighten 
the labor of examination. The treasurer's report showed a 
balance of $313.30 in the treasury. Mr. Joeckel stated that at 
the Farm Show in 1894, it had been decided to start a sweep- 
stakes to be competed for at the show which was expected to 
take place in May, 1895, and that the blanks for it had been 
mailed to the members and only one entry had beeu received. 
He also reported that Mr. Terry stated that the Farm Show 
would not be held in May as at first proposed, but in Novem- 
ber, during Thanksgiving week. 
On learning that Mr. Hopf had not received one of the club 
medals, it wa3 resolved to present a medal to him and to have 
it inscribed so as to express the respect and esteem entertained 
for him by the club.

Joeckel, Jr.; Vice-Presidents, Miss A. H. Whitney, R. J. Saw- 
yer, Col, Jacob Ruppert, Jr.; Treasurer, J. S. Hoyt; Gover-

DOG CHAT 
One of the most shocking and diabolical acts ever perpetrated 
at a. d"K show was the poisoning, on Friday morning, of Mrs. 
Senn's kennel r, f crack toy spaniels, eight of which subsequently 
died. When Mr. and Mrs. Senn arrived about ten A. M., they at 
once opened the baskets in which they had put the dogs the previ- 
ous evening, and found eight of their dogs dying and others dead. 
King of the Charlies, the crack King Charles, could just stand up. 
but died before an emetic could be administered. The names of 
the dead are: King of the Charlies; Japanese, Mikado, Chin. Kiku 
and Tamah; Lady De Lena, due to whelp in two weeks; the King 
Charles Yorkshire terrier. Brandy, and Prince Charlie Bell. 
Romeo, fortunately, had been taken home. The affair created 
great excitement and sympathy for Mr. and Mrs. Senn, and a sub- 
says that they will 'probablv hold afield trial at Newton, N. G. , 
immediately after .the conclusion of the Eastern field trials next 
fall. 
BOSTON TERTIERS TOPSEY AND COMMISSIONER II. 
scription was set afoot at once, and $355 were collected during the 
day, all but five dollars being poured in at Spratt's stand, in charge 
of Mi . Banks. 
The W. K. C. and S. C. P. C. A. each at once offered $500 reward 
for the detection of the criminals, but there is little chance of the 
perpetrator ever being found out. Suspicions are rife, but no 
proof is forthcoming. It was evidently intended to poison all of 
Mrs. Senn's dogs, as some bits of meat covered with powder were 
found in the baskets, and these some of the animals likely refused. 
Mr. Webster will mount the poisoned dogs. The dally papers 
were greatly excited over the affair, some of ;the evening papers 
bringing out extras. 
Sales at New York were scarcely so numerous this year as last, 
though there was some activity in the"pointer circles. 
The Morey Kennels sold their poodle Tribune to Mr. D. Hall 
Butler, for S'80. The Meadowmere Poodle Kennels disposed of 
Dandy to a gentleman of Belleville, Ont. Carnot, one of the best, 
goes to Philadelphia at a long figure; Carlos, Judy and Rose to 
New York parties at good figures. 
Mr. Geo. J. Gould bought the noted pointer, Chancellor from the 
Kinada Kennels. 
Mr. Sam. Mann sold the winning Smooth St. Bernard bitch. 
Princess Eulalie, by Kingston Regent — Cleopatra, to Mr. C. A. 
Pratt, proprietor of the Argyle Kennels, Little Rock, Ark. 
Dr. Foote now has the"black-and-tan terrier bitch, Ch. Gypsey 
Girl, having exchanged his wire Brittle Bright and '"some more" 
for her. 
A Dachshund Club is to be formed with the idea of coming to 
some definite type to breed to and j udge by. . 
The Metropolitan Kennel Club was "started on Friday evening, 
the following gentlemen taking part: Dr. Foote, Temporary Chair- 
man; E. M. lOldham, Secretary pro tern.; Thos. H. Terry, A. C. 
Pickhardt, C. F. Lewis, F. S. Webster, Geo. Jarvis. James Wat- 
son, James Robinson, Dr. Glover, A. D. Lewis, D. Pnrroy, C. M. 
Kernochan, Dr. H. W, Lincoln ,;Ed. F. Croker, E. C Ray, J. W. 
Brittain, Jas. Patterson, James Mortimer. M, A. Tbelbery, H. L. 
Kreuder, G. W. H. Pritcbie and F. ik.". Hodgman. Several gen- 
tlemen spoke enthusiastically on the subject of a kennel club 
which should be social in its nature, have club rooms and other- 
wise advance the interests of kennel affairs in this city. Dr. 
Foote was instructed to select a committee of five whose duty it 
would be to arrange for the proper organization of the club at a 
future meeting'Ho be called by_ them. This is something we have 
been suggesting for Jyears. and the project should not be allowed 
to fail. 
" The Canadians 'have organized the Eastern Townships Kennel 
Club at Sherbrooke, another has been organized at Quebec, and 
with the one started in Montreal they will try to hold a circuit of 
shows after Toronto this fall. Enthusiasm runs high and there 
are many members in the clubs. 
Fred Schmidt's St. Bernard, Kingstonian Count, died three 
weeks since from kidnev complaint- This is a great loss to Mr. 
Schmidt, as he was a more than ordinarily good getter. 
Mr. Jarretfs arrived just in time for the show on the Servia, 
from England, having gone ovei to purchase the orack hacuney 
stallion Wildfire for Mr. Mitchell Harrison. 
Messrs. J. P. Morgan and Geo. J. Gould have chartered a special 
car for the Chicago show, and thus have they solved their side of 
the transportation problem. 
We were sorry to hear of, Mr. 'Henry Brook's recent severe ill- 
ness. He is on the road to recovery, fortunately, but was unable 
to attend the N. Y. show, not being alllowed to leave the house. 
The American Spaniel Club held its annual dinner at Zanghern's 
on Wednesday night of the show. The affair was a very .enjoy- 
able one, and speeches more or less dignified and instructive were 
made by James Watson, who responded well for the American 
Spaniel Club; Geo. R. Preston. Jr., for the Clumber Spaniel and 
good fellows in general; A. Laidlaw, for the Irish Water Spaniel, 
remarking that the only place this dog got tight was in his rules; 
S. J. Bradbury, for The Fieia Spaniel; W. T. Payne, for the 
Cocker; C. M. Nelles, Our Canadian Brothers; H. W. Lacy, The 
Press. Mr. B. Fj Miller and Mr. M. Oldham enlivened the pro- 
ceedings with .several excellent songs, Mr, Oldham, as the new 
president, made a very efficient chairman. In addition to those 
named above there were present: Rowland P. Keaseby, Ewin W. 
Fiske, Marcel A. Yiti, "Uncle Dick," Geo. Douglas, Frank R. 
Carsdell, Henry Jarrett, W. A. Brook, P. F. Mead- 
The annual dog show auction sale of H- Rutherford fox-terriers 
did not bring as good prices as usual. Prices ranged from »AoO to 
$27.50 for a Safeguard- Warren Captious pup. 
The Tracy sale of dog pictures proved an unexpected success 
over $11,000 being realized from the two nights' sale. Particulars 
will be given next week. 
Owing to the space required for 'the report of the New York- 
show, a number of communications are crowded out this week-- . 
ANSWERS TO CORRESPONDENTS. 
Y. Z., Baltimore, Md. — The only office of the Fox-terrier Chron- 
icle is at 77 Fleet street, London. England. Subscription m-ice is 
$3.85. The price of the Fox-terrier Club Stud Book is $1,25. AYe 
do not know where you can purchase oictures of the leading fox- 
terriers in America and England. The Fox-terrier Chronicle sup- 
nlies pictures of the noted English dogs that have been published 
monthly in that journal, on special paper for framing, at 6d. each 
(13 cents)., 
' IT. W. H., Big Timber, Mont. — My setter spaniel puppy, "nine 
months old, was taken with distemper six weeks ago, and had a 
pretty hard time of it. He is feeling fairly well now, but his eyes 
are sore, look red and somewhat swollen and bloodshot. Pus is 
constantly forming and running out at corners. I feed him mostly 
bread and milk. What can I do for him? What is the best wash 
for sore eyes in dogs? — Ads.: Givo the dog a dessertspoonful of 
syrup of hvpnphosphites and a teaspoonf ul of cod-liver oil twice 
a day. Bathe tne eyes with the following lotion: Acid Boraeic, 1 
gr.; zinc sulph., 1 gr.; tr. opii, ii. gr.; aq. a viii. oz. .Apply to eyes 
three or four times a day. , 
" Subscriber, Brooklyn, N. Y. — I am the owner of a fox-terrier 
pup five months old, who eats everything he comes across — coal, 
wood, rags, etc. He has had one "fit from eating rags. — Ans.: 
Treat for worms, using any of our advertised remedies. Most 
puppies have this annoying habit, unless their privileges are cur- 
tailed. Give your dog a good knuckle-bone to exercise his teeth 
upon, and put a little flour of sulphur in his food now and then. 
Imumf to ^arwjpondcnts* 
E G. C, Syracuse, N. Y. — During the early part of December 
last, a bird was brought to me to be mounted, which seems to be 
an entire stranger to all of us. In Jasper's works on "Birds of 
North America." the nearest illustration given, with description, 
seems to be that of the guillemot, although, judging from its plum- 
age, it must be a young bird. As its back and head are of a dark 
slate or lead color, instead of jet black, as in the illustration. Tts 
throat is mottled witli stray white and lead color down to the 
breast, the rest is entirely white, like the illustration. The bird 
was shot on Oneida Lake by one of the local sportsmen; there was 
a mate with it which escaped. — Ans.: The description is too vague 
for a positive identification, and nothing is said about size. It may 
very likelv be a guillemot, as these are sometimes found as strag- 
glers on our inland waters, e. g., recently on Lake Champlain, etc. 
A. G B., Holland, Mich.— Where can Dr. Shufeldfs "Scientific 
Taxidermy" be had? Where can Dr. Eliott's monograph of the 
Tetraonidal be obtained, and its size and price?--Ans. 1. Apply to 
the Smithsonian Institution; 3. A copy was catalogued by D. G. 
Frances, East Sixteenth street. New York, the other day, at 3-50. 
J. A. E., Hackensaek, N J. — Ans.: It is probable that the bird is 
a road-runner or ground cuckoo (Grococeyx californianus) , a 
well-known bird of California and the Southwest. Your descrip- 
tion is very vague, but this is probably the bird. 3. We do not know 
the weight of the largest fish in the sea, but we trust that we may 
some time. 3. The trout of Long Island streams, which flow into 
the great South Bay, go down into the salt water. 
S. B., St. Paul. — Can wild celery be sown among wild rice with- 
out choking the rice?— Ans. The two Iwould not grow well in con- 
junction. 
BLUE HARE. — A correspondent wants information respecting 
the introduction of the blue hare, or Scotch hare, into this coun- 
try. If it has been attempted, what success attended the enter- 
prise? 
G. C. P., Aberdeen, Miss.--1. I own in this State a large shallow 
lake, say not exceeding three feet in depth. The mud in the lake 
is deep and sticky. I desire to know if wild rice will grow in this 
lake, and attract wild duck in the winter? 2. Will the planting of 
wild rice interfere with the fishing? 3. Where can I get wild rice, 
and. at what price? 4. When ought it to be planted, and how?— 
Ans. 1. Probably, yes. 3. If your lake is nowhere deeper than 
three feet, the rice would probably spread pretty well over it. 3. 
Write to the advertisers whose announcement you will find in our 
columns next fall. The seed soon loses its vitality and is only good, 
a few months after it is gathered. 1. As soon as you can procure 
the fresh seed, or about the last of August. The seedsman will 
give you particulars. 
!^R. C. S. — You failed to give your post-office address.^We would 
like the suggested description. 
1 ZG. V. B.j Chicago. — Will not the drainage from three good-sized 
hotels be injurious to the fish of a lake of about six or eight square 
miles area, whose inlet and outlet are at the same end? Are there 
any regulations in regard to this, and if there are to whom must 
one look for their enforcement? We people who have our summer 
homes at the lake do quite a bit of "fishing, and are desirous of 
protecting the fish as much as possible. — Ans. 1. We think not. 
3. You did not tell us what State the waters are in.g 
R. A. B., Rockville.— 1. The" sportsmen of this city have con- 
tributed $150 to buy some quail to re-stock our depleted covers, but 
some of our oldest shooters olaim re-stocked birds will not stay, 
but will migrate in the fall, likely taking our home birds with 
them. Is there any truth in that? 2. Which of the many adver- 
tised birds would be the best kind to buy for re-stocking in this 
vicinity? 3. What is the best time and method to let them go? 
Ans.: h Imported birds undoubtedly occasionallylleave the local- 
ities where they have been put out in re-stocking, but!such cases 
are rare, and we do not think there would be any danger in your 
case of such an occurrence. 2. Birds from as far north as can 
be procured. 3. May. See answer to W. H. V. 
J. W. B.. Danvers, Mass.— Bendore gives the southern range as 
■sounded by "the mountainous regions of Arkansas, Eastern 
Tennessee, Western North Carolina, Northeastern Alabama, 
Northwestern Georgia and Northern South Carolina. Through- 
out its southern range the ruffed grouse is mostly confined to the 
mountain regions, and is seldom if ever found in the lowlands 
during the breeding season." 
W. H. V., Cincinnati, O.— 1. Where can I buy live quail for 
stocking purposes, best acclimated to this section? 2. When is 
the best time to stock? 3. How shall I do it?— Ans-: 1 . See our 
advertising columns. 2. About April or May for your locality. 
3. See our issue of.May 5, 1894, and article in last week's issue.
