TECHNICAL TERMS. 
Mbofo out. — The elbow, it need hardly be said perhaps, 
is the joint at the top of the forearm. A dog is said to 
be "elbow out," or "out at elbows," when this joint, in- 
stead of being carried just free of the ribs, as it should be 
in a well-made dog, sticks outwardly. This may be the 
result of weakness in a young puppy; but in an adult dog, 
except in the case of the bull dog, in which it appears to 
be accepted, is a decided malformation. 
Faking— Ib the term used when a dog's natural appear- 
ance is dishonestly interfered with for the purpose of 
making it appear otherwise than it naturally is. For in- 
stance, dyeing white on a retriever's or Irish terrier's feet 
or chest, or coloring a Dudley nose, or performing an 
operation to make a fox terrier's ears fall correctly, and 
similar practices are called "faking." Trimming a dog's 
coat, such as the coat of a Bedlington or wire-haired fox 
terrier, is not, however, considered "faking." A dog is 
said to be "faked" when some illegitimate operation has 
been performed, A "fake" is the action taken. 
Featlier.— The fringe of hair on the legs, ears or tail of 
some breeds, such as setters and spaniels.

comes matted through neglect it is said to be felted. 
Filled-up.—A dog is said to be well "fllled-up" below 
the eyes when there is no falling away or undue narrow- 
ing of the face at this point. The term is frequently used 
in describing terriers, A well "fllled-up" face is a good 
point.

marked feature of the collie. 
Froggy faced.— A term used in the case of the bull dog 
to denote a level-mouthed or overshot dog. A bull dog

to nearly the occiput, in the bull dog. 
(7o-&2/e,— A term used in greyhound coursing. A "go- 
bye" is when one dog, starting a length behind another,

time it was a much admired point. 
Pencil-marks.— The black marks on the toes of the Man- 
chester terrier, A point of beauty.

Western Massachusetts ToTt. Clubt 
The Western Massachusetts Fox Club contemplate hold- 
ing their ninth annual hunt Nov. 11 and 13. It is ex- 
pected to make this gathering the most enjoyable of any 
thus far. With genial George W. Roraback at the head, 
nothing will be lacking for those participating in the 
forthcoming hunt to have an exceedingly pleasant time, 
providing the weather is more conciliatory than in the 
past three seasons, which have been handicapped by de- 
cidedly impleasant weather, which interfered very much 
with the pleasure of those gatherings. 
As usual the hunt will occur on Wednesday and Thurs- 
day, affording those who come from abroad sufficient 
time to come, participate and return home in the same 
week. 
The reputation the club has gained in the past for its 
cordiality, good cheer and its splendid hunting facilities 
is well known to nearby fox hunters and others who have 
attended the past gatherings of the club. To all inter- 
ested in fox hunting I can safely bespeak a hearty wel- 
come. They will find the latch string ever ready to 
respond to their demands. 
I have every reason to believe that every one who par- 
ticipates in the hunt this season will ever refer to it with 
feelings of gratification and pleasure. Woronoco.

with a sweepstake for pointers and setters owned by 
members of the Eastern and Philadelphia Field Trials 
Clubs. 
Dr. J. Spencer Brown, member of E. F. T. C, has

and twenty-one pointers entered; of these entries six set- 
ters and five pointers dropped from the list Sept. 1, leav- 
ing sixteen pointers and twenty-two setters to compete f ot 
Derby honors.

couraging. Handlers report birds plentiful, dogs doing 
good work, and with such desire as is known to exist for 
field trial honors the sportsmen of this country may 
expect to see a grand exhibition of field work. 
All dogs entered in the Eastern or United States will be 
returned free of charge.

and as there was no quorum present no meeting was held' 
Communications for thU department are requested. Anything on 
the bicycle in its relation to the sportsman is particularly desirable, 
THE BICYCLE IN CHICAGO. 
CHioAao is one of the greatest bicycle towns in the 
United States or in the world. If the amount of capital 
invested in the bicycle trade in this city were carefully 
estimated, it might be found that no city in this country 
has so much claim to be called the greatest bicycle town, 
for there are centralized here for a large part of the 
West a number of factories which would be distributed 
over an entire State in the Eaat, where manufacturing 
points are scattered more widely. At any event, it is cer- 
tain that this city has an enormous number of factories 
and shops which make wheels, parts of wheels or sun- 
dries connected with the wheel. The distributing trade 
of the city is enormous beyond easy comprehension, and 
the retail trade bears its own proportion of the big figures 
of the wheel trade. It is literally true that not enough 
stores could be rented this spring in the central part of 
the Chicago business section to accommodate the firms 
wishing to sell and display bicycles. It is not an unusual 
thing to-day, even after these matters have more or less 
adjusted themselves, to see bicycles displayed in the win- 
dows of tailor shops, boot and shoe stores, furnishing 
goods places, etc. Add to these sales places the number 
of concerns offering in their windows bicycles as prizes, 
premiums or guessing contest incentives, and the result 
would convince the most casual street observer that the 
wheel was in the plans of all Chicago and had come to 
stay. 
The vogue of the wheel in Chicago is entirely a natural 
affair. It is a natural wheeling town, and has about it a 
natural wheeling country. Chicago does not lie upon a 
long and narrow island, as does the great city of New 
York, but has room to spread in every direction, so that 
the congestion of traffic will never be so intense as in 
New York. The wheelman of the latter city has a serious 
time ahead of him when he undertakes a spin out into 
the country, and the wheelman of many much smaller 
cities has a still more serious time. The crowded city 
streets are no place to ride, and that city is most fortu- 
nate, from a wheeling standpoint, which makes it possi- 
ble for the rider to get out upon the boulevards and roads 
with the least loss of time. 
The Forest and Stream office in Chicago is located 
almost exactly in the center of the business district of Chi- 
cago. Here, as all over the greater portion of the city, 
the streets run at right angles, and here, as all over the 
city and for twenty miles around it, the ground is 
absolutely level. From the Forest and Stream office 
one only needs to ride across the river— about six blocks 
to reach the head of Washington boulevard, along which 
he can ride into many pretty suburbs. Following the well- 
known Aurora century course, he can ride on out twenty, 
twenty-five or thirty miles over streets that are practically 
boulevarded or paved, for all that country is practically 
Chicago. He can get out to Wheaton, Glen Ellyn, and 
many other beautiful places, and by the time he is that 
far out he will be in a land of black dirt and many wet 
bogs and sloughs, where very good jacksnipe shooting is 
often had. He can swing to the northwest more and get 
into another good snipe and plover ground with equal 
ease. 
Startmg from the Forest and STrSaM office, in the cen- 
ter of the city, the rider can cross the river to the North 
Side by a ride of about a quarter of a mile, where he then 
strikes a series of paved streets which will take him in a 
few blocks directly upon the Lincoln Park boulevards. 
He can ride through that park and on north along the 
lovely lake shore boulevards until he strikes the famous 
Sheridan road, one of the great bicycle ways of the en- 
tire world. He can follow this fine boulevard to its end 
and strike pavement and macadam for miles on out, and 
so come to Fort Sheridan, Lake Forest, Lake Bluff, Wau- 
kegan, Racine, and any number of a whole string of 
towns which lie along the side of blue Lake Michigan. 
This is a good direction to take for a ride out of Chicago. 
It also brings one into a possible shooting country. Some 
of the best snipe grounds near Chicago are along the little 
prairie sloughs west of Glencoe, and there are one or two 
spots not far west of Evanston where very often nice bags 
of woodcock are made by shooters of those suburbs. 
Along this northern run the native forest still stands, and 
there are at spots well north some steep and picturesque 
hills. One of these is so steep and winding and danger- 
ous that the local authorities have forbidden bicyclists to 
coast it. Two men have been killed there this season, and 
a great many serious accidents have occurred there. 
Starting again at the Forest akd Stream office, one can 
within three blocks get to Michigan avenue, one of the 
great boulevards of the world. This is the best place to 
see the swell riders of Chicago. This boulevard leads 
straight south, into the residence part of town, and spreads 
out into several others— Grand, Drexel, etc.— all arriving 
at the great South Park system, one of the show grounds 
of Chicago, and in no way less than in the display of 
bicycles and riders. Thence it is but a step to Jackson 
Park, the site of the World's Fair grounds, and the course 
is directly along the famous Midway, which now shows 
no sign of its former riotous tenancy, but is smooth as a 
billiard table. Still further south the smooth streets and 
roads go, macadamized and rolled and paved for miles 
and miles, to the bathing beaches and other places of en- 
joyment below the city. Here the shooter who is also a 
wheelman is close to the marshes of the once famous 
Calumet Lake, whose glories have now departed. If he 
be careful, he can once in a while get a good day with the 
snipe in the wet swales not far from here. 
If he svvring to the right at Washington Park, turning 
over on Garfield boulevard for a way, and thence riding
