Gordon — Irisb. 
DoYLESTOWN, Pa., May 23.— Editor Forest and Stream: 
"For Sale— Thoroughbred Gordon-Insh setter puppies. 
Write for particulars." The above "ad." is clipped from 
a local paper and has aroused some discussion. Ihe mi- 
pression which we suppose is intended to be conveyed is 
that the pups are a cross between a Gordon setter (iii 
this case the dam) and an Irish setter (the sire) Could 
snch a cross properly be described as "thoroughbred. 
I do not wish to impeach the advertiser's veracity, but 
I have it from one who claims to know all about the 
case that the sire was not the Irish setter the Doctor 
claims, but a cross either between a St. Bernard and a 
mastiff, or a shepherd and a mastiff. What would the 
pups properly be called if this is true? Is there such a 
breed of dogs as Gordon-Irish setters? G. 
[The cross between Gordon and Irish would produce 
cross-bred setters, not thoroughbred. The latter term is 
a misnomer when applied to the dog in any case. In 
respect to mastiff or St. Bernard cross, the progeny 
would be mongrel.] 
Points and Flushes.

tained of the Secretary, Mr. S. C. Bradley, Greenfield 
Hill, Conn. ;
