dogy demonstrating that they were well broken, but 
lacked pace and range to get in the money. 
After lunch Cracker Jack and Daisy Rip Rap were 
launched forth as upual in a big field covered with rag- 
weed. Both dogs hunted wide and fast, perhaps a little 
in favor of Jack. After q'lite a run the judges discov- 
ered Jack on a point with Daisy backing, and right here 
is where the owner of Daisy takes issue with this state- 
ment, he claiming that Daisy found and pointed and that 
Jack came up and stole the point, but spectators who were 
within a few yards of the dogs say that such was not the 
case. Birds were flushed, but not followed. Jack, or- 
dered on in opposite direction, pointed about 30yds. 
from his first point; his handler, thinking it was the trail 
of the bevy just flushed, took him by the collar and 
pulled him away. Jack took a cast to one side and came 
right back to same place and resumed his point. Blank- 
enbaker then went back and flushed a covey of birds. 
This little act of Jack's won him many friends. Down 
30 minutes. 
Prince, black, white and tan dog, owned by N. T. 
Harris and handled by Blankenbaker, and Awline Rex 
II. were next. Rex soon demonstrated he was not an or- 
dinary dog. Prince might have shown up better if he 
had not been in such hot company. After drawing two 
big fields blank the judges ordered the handlers to work 
south. Mayfield replied that R'^x was working on birds 
and if given a few seconds' time would locate them, 
which he did lOOyds. in the woods in fine style. A few 
more points by Rex and the brace was ordered up. Down 
30 minutes. 
Cincinnatus Pride, black, white and tan setter, owned 
by Edw. A. Burdette and handled by Frank Richards, 
and Forzanda were now put in a field to show their pace 
and range. Pride is a beautiful dog, is a great bench 
winner, is of good size, evenly marked, and in the pink 
of condition. His owner evidently believes that a dog 
can be a fipld trial dog and a bench winner too, as he has 
entered Pride in other trials. With more work Pride will 
very likely push to the front. He made a point on covey 
and was steady. Forzanda made two points on singles. 
Down 38 minutes. 
Columbia and Lady Peg after running thirty-two min- 
utes were ordered up, neither having shown merit enough 
to win. Toney's Gale and Anne of Abbotsf ord went their 
usual rapid gait. Toney, after repeatedly false pointing 
and disobedience, was ordered out of the race, and Anne 
given a trial on some scattered oirds, where she dispelled 
all chances of winning. With more handling she wiU be 
a good dog. 
Wednesday morning Cracker Jack and Rex II. came 
together. In very heavy cover Jack acted a little unruly, 
finding a bevy and not standing as stanchly as was his wont. 
Drawing a large field blink, Rax jumped the fence and 
pointed a bevy stanchly, then moved and pointed again. 
The birds were evidently ruaning. Jick pointed the 
same bevy frocn the opposite side. D )wn 20 minutes. 
Pride and Daisy Rip Rip were the last brace called. In 
orchard Daisy was found pointing, with Pride backing. 
Heavy growth of grass and weeds hindered dogs from 
doing good work on scattered birds. 
Across th.e fence Diisy pointed a rabbit, backed by 
Pride. Circling in woods, Frank Richards called point as 
some birds flushed out of briers. Ttie dogs were now- 
worked toward the road, and not finding any more birds 
were ordered up and the trials declared ended. 
The secretary was handed the decision of the judges and 
posted the same on blackboard at hotel. 
In conclusion, I will say that the hotel accommodations 
were very good, plenty of horses, reasonable charges, and 
a clever lot of people.

Union Field Trials Club. 
lNDiAJ!JAPOLis, Ind,, Nov. 2.— Editor Forest and Stream: 
A meeting of the members of the Union Field Trials Club 
was held at Carlisle, Ind., Tupsday evening, Oit. 27, with 
the President, Mr. N->rvin T. Harris, in the chair, and the 
following named officers and members present: Vice- 
Presidents R )yal Robinson, J. L. Adams and Richard 
Merrill, and S. H S jcwell, Joseph T. Akin, Gt. T. Kerr, 
Charles Fox and P. T. Madison, Secretary. 
The inaugural trials proving so successful, the club de- 
cided to hold trials again next year at Carlisle, beginning 
Monday, Nov. 8, at which two stakes will be run: First, a 
Derby for all pointers and setters born on or after Jan. 1, 
1896; second, an All-Age stake open to all pointers and 
setters that have never won a first prize in an all-age 
stake in any recognized field trials in America. 
The forfeits in each stake will be $5, with $10 to start. 
After deducting the actual expenses the balance will be 
divided 40 per cent, to first, 30 per cent, to second, 20 per 
cent, to third, 10 per .cent, to fourth. 
The entries to the Derby will close Sept. 1, and to the 
All-Age stake Oct, 1. In former years objections to 
trials in Indiana have been raised on account of the 
small fields and the early date selected for holding the 
trials; the date now chosen (Nov. 8) and the location 
(Carlisle) overcome these objections, as the date will en- 
able handlers to get their puppies ready; and the grounds 
are not surpassed by any in America, as the fields are 
large enough to test the range of any dog that ever start- 
ed in a field trial. 
The Union Field Trials Club is entirely social in its 
character, there being no membership fee or annual dues. 
Gentlemen desiring to become members can do so by 
having a club member present their names to the secre- 
tary. 
All the officers, members and judges serve without 
compensation, and it remains with the dog owners and 
ihandlers to make the prizes as large as they wish. 
The following named new members were admitted at 
this meeting: George D. Maxfield, of Indianapolis, re- 
commended by Mr. G, T. Kerr; N, T. De Pauw, C. W. 
De Pauw, Naw Albany, Ind., Peter Lee Atherton, S. P. 
Jones and W. C. Churchill, Louisville, Ky. , recommend- 
ed by Mr. Norvin T. Harris; Allen Huston, Louisville, 
Ky., recommended by Mr. J. L. Adams.

Dogs in the City. 
Commissioner Waring, of the Street Cleaning Depart- 
ment, New York, took the initiative about a year ago 
against dogs running at large, with the result that recently 
the Board of Health parsed a resolution which may be 
the beginning of a legal restriction compelling owners to 
keep their dogs on their own premises: 
"WTiereas, Complaints have been received from physi- 
cians and citizens in respect to the defilement of the 
sidewalks and streets of the built-up portions of this city 
by dogs, and dogs led and running at large, as well as the 
danger to life and health from the bite of dogs, and urging 
this board to take such action as may be necessary to 
abate the alleged nuisance; therefore 
"Sesolved, That the sanitary committee be requested to 
give due consideration to this subject, and to report 
whether in its opinion the uncleanliness of the sidewalks 
and streets is of sufficient importance to require the 
action of this board and the adoption of an ordinance re- 
quiring that dogs be kept upon and within the premises 
of their owners, and not be allowed to run at large upon 
the public streets and sidewalks, or to be led in any pub- 
lic street, without a permit from this department." 
Mange Cure. 
Little Rock, Ark,, Oct. 27. — I heard recently of a cure 
for mange in dogs that I thought might be of benefit to 
brother sportsmen and worth trying. Two of my sport- 
ing friends here have tried it and they claim it a sure 
shot. They take the hot blood of any animal, obtaining 
it at the slaughter houses, and rub it into the dog's hair 
thoroughly, and let it dry on him for an hour, when 
they give him a bath, repeating the application twice or 
three times three or four days apart, and in less than 
three weeks the dog has a beautiful new coat of hair. 
Clement Schaer has a dog that was given him by our 
mutual friend Jacques, of Buffalo, that he sometimes 
leaves at home when going to his business, and he will 
telephone his wife to put the dog upnn a table where the 
trumpet will reach the dog's ear. Calling to him, the dog 
instantly recognizes his voice and jumps from the table 
and whines to be let out. Mrs. S. opening the door out 
goes Jack and makes a bee line for the office, ten blocks 
away, as fast as his legs will carry him, much to Sohaer's 
satisfaction on showing this dog's trick to friends, 
J. T. Irwin. 
POINTS AND FLUSHES. 
Mr, James L. Little, Sec'y of the Bench Show Commit- 
tee of the New Eagland Kennel Club, informs us that the 
club claims the dates Feb. 3 to 5, 1897, for its bench show, 
which will be held in M<-chanics Hall, Boston, and that 
Spratts Patent will feed and Mr. Oldham superintend it. 
The British Fancier closed its journalistic career about 
the middle of last month. Though a bright and readable 
journal, of value to fanciers, it failed to win the support 
so essential to existence. 
Our correspondent X. corrects an error as follows: "In 
my rpport of the heat between Rod's Gladstone and Rip- 
ple, Union Field Trials Club's Ddrby, your types make me 
say 'ten fields were drawn blank' — it should be two fields." 
At the adjourned meeting of the Advisory Committee, 
held in the A. K, C. offi je on Oot. 2, the Metro- 
politan Kennel Club and the Butterfly Bench Show Asso- 
ciation were admitted to membership. The Code of Pro- 
cedure of the Pacific Advisory Bjard was adopted, which 
is a set of rules governing the actions of that body as a 
subsidiary body of the A, K. C. 
The Collie Club Chronicle mentions the addition of 
three more members to the Collie Club, namely, Dr, A. 
F. Webster, Messrs. J. E. Da Puyster and C. M. Thompson. 
The Lottery and Futurity Stakes will be left open till the 
next issue of the Chronicle.

Communications for this department are requested. Anything on 
the bicycle in its relation to t he sportsman is particularly desirable. 
Which Wheel Goes Furthest? 
A SUBJECT which is sure to provoke discussion among 
wheelmen, and to find ready advocates for both sides of 
the argument, is that of which wheel of a bicycle makes 
the greatest number of revolutions in going a certain dis- 
tance, or, in other words, which wheel goes furthest? 
Many- riders argue that the rear wheel covers the most 
ground, because the propelling force is applied directly to 
that wheel, and slipping or lost motion allow it more re- 
volutions than are taken by the front wheel. These men 
adduce as proof of the correctness of their deductions the 
fact that carefully registered cyclometers placed on both 
wheels show a margin in favor of the rear wheel. 
But they overlook the fact that this result is due to an 
entirely different cause, which is that the rear wheel for 
all practical purposes is smaller than the front wheel, ow- 
ing to the fact that most of the weight of the rider is 
carried on it, and the tires therefore flattened out and their 
periphery reduced. 
When riding, the front wheel turns in larger circles 
than the rear wheel, and consequently must cover mor§ 
ground.
