Three Hoars on Pewawkee Lake^ Wisconsin. 
"It is windy," said I, as we stood at Five Points, Wau- 
kesha, on Aug. 29. "Yes," breathlessly replied the Judge, 
as he recovered his hat. "Shall we go? Here, the shortest 
straw goes," so Judge King drew the shortest with a wink. 
Thus propitiating fate, we got on the electric car and 
threw out visions of the catch to the afternoon breeze. 
It was good to see tny portiv and genial companion with 
his coat off, his hair flying, his kind eyes beaming con- 
tentment toward the hay fields and the cattle grazing 
peacefully. 
"This will be the best day of all," he said, and such 
remarks, with a strong east wind, are always grateful, and 
when he called me from the contents of an azure-tinted 
envelope, "Here we are," I hurried expectantly vfith 
him down to the beach. 
Here the boatman put off on us a watei'-logged craft as 
"the very lightest boat on the lake," but what cared fate 
for such a detail? We blistered our hands in turn in 
eager roAving to our particular ledge. A hasty anchor, and 
then the Judge began to count, "Four to nothing," and 
I began to make. Then it was a horse race for an liour, 
and I a neck in the lead. Then, varying awhile from the 
large bream or roach we bad been catching, we began to 
land cat, and one bass, with much excitement, was hauled 
in. Here I stopped to see the, sun set and the twilight 
edge into the rose tints and the distant sails begin to Tift 
themselves on the horizon line and swa}"- gently like en- 
'chanted wings- — and the Judge counted on monotonously. 
He was nearly up with rpe when I thought it a wise 
policy to drop the flag. 
After convincing the Judge, lietween strikes, that we did 
not have sufficient bait to fish all night, we hauled up 
and pulled for the pier. 
The car was waiting, and we went into Waukesha very 
joyously, the Judge smilingly repeating from time to time, 
"Fortj'-seven and 3olbs." Weighing them, however, amid 
a crowd of admiring spectators, we found that they turned 
t:he beam at only 2Slbs. We hunted up all our friends, 
waked one or two people out of bed to make presents of 
fish, and the Judge wrote a very elaborate note to the 
Southern beauty at one of the hotels and sent" up a. full 
basket. 
As I was preparing for bed, the Judge came tripping 
across the hall : "Just listen," he said, pointing to a room 
adjoining his; "that's the darndest snorer in Wisconsin."

Salmon Fisheries in Norway. 
Consul Nelson, of Bergen, sends a printed analysis of 
the report of the inspector of salmon fisheries in Norway, 
from which the following extracts are taken: 
"As the result of a visit paid by Herr Landmark to the 
United States, a new departure was made in comiection 
with the artificial hatching of salmon in Norway. For- 
inerly the young fry were allowed to escape as soon as 
they began to require food, and, therefore, when in a very 
delicate and defenseless condition. They are now retained 
in captivity and fed four times a day, upon the raw liver 
of slaughtered animals, until the autumn, after the sys- 
tem which obtains in America. The results of the first 
year's experiment at the Government hatchery on the 
Drammen were satisfactory ; on 280,000 ova treated, the 
loss was only 2 per cent., and in the middle of October 
about 211,000 fry were turned out; while the percentage 
of loss has been still further reduced of late years. A 
belief is prevalent among the coast fishermen that salmon 
and sea trout spawn successfully in salt water, and in this 
connection a series of experiments were conducted under 
proper supervision, from which it appeared that : (a) Roc 
taken from salmon caotured in a river or from sea trout 
which have remained until the spawning time in sea 
water cannot be successfully developed in salt water; 
_(b) salmon and sea trout roe impregnated in fresh water 
may be hatched put in brackish water containing a small 
percentage of salt, up to eight or nine per mille — that is 
to say, rather less than one-third of the salt contained in 
the sea water of the Norwegian coast."

A Name for the Brook Trottt. 
Editor Forest and Stream: 
If the boys have all got through guessing and trying 
to find a name for our common brook trout to take the 
place of the objectionable "speckled beauty," let the "old 
men" be heard. Now this fish is not a trout, but is a 
char, pure, unmixed. So we will take for the first part 
of the new name the word char. And as pure-unmixed is 
rnere — pronounced "mer" (see national pronoimcing 
dictionary; pocket edition) — we will take this mer for 
the second syllable. This gives us "charmer," a most 
appropriate name for our beautiful char — pure and un- 
mixed, a thoroughbred charmer. I caught a nice basket of 
"charmers" the other da;v, etc. Stansteau. 
A Lexington (Ore.) kwyer spends his "vacatioa" 
catching coyotes, for whose scalps the county pays. He 
has earned $209.50 in this way lately. "This probably 
beats practicing law," says the Oregonian: 
It's rather lucky girls ^re angels without wings. If 
they had wings they'd likely be killed to trim hats with.—

The Iowa State Trials. 
Emmetsburg, la., Sept, 7. — Editor Forest and Stream: 
The field trials which were concluded here to-day add 
another to the list of successful meetings in the West. 
The weather has been favorable, and men and dogs 
turned out at 4 130 in the morning rcadj' for work. Every- 
thing moved smoothly, aad if there had only been more 
birds the most critical of us could have found no fault 
with the meeting. The members of the club have en- 
tertained their guests handsomely, and the work of the 
meet passed oft' with satisfaction and good feeling through- 
out. The Derby had seventeen competitors, and there 
were twenty-seven to start in the All-i\ge Stake. 
The game was not abundant. The supply has been 
materially affected by the wet weather of the spring, and 
there was scarcely enough to give material for all the 
heats. When flushed, as a rule, the chickens took to the 
corn,_ and then we had to hunt up another supply. 
Nothing but the early morning programme would have 
made the trials possible. 
Three judges were provided because of the absence of 
Mr. Barker, who had been expected to officiate. Those 
chosen were Major J. M. Taylor, of Rutherford, N. J. ; Dr. 
Hickerson, of Moberly, Mo., and Major Stuehmmer, of 
Emmetsburg, la. After Dr. Hickerson left us on Satur- 
day, Mr^ Jno. A. Gray, of Burlington, took his place. The 
field work of the meeting was excellent. The handlers 
were prompt in following instructions given ihem and 
their work was marked by restraint and quiet, Avhich were 
much in contrast with the noisy handling we have seen at 
some other meetings. As for the dogs, they were notably 
well trained, and the winners in both stakes well de- 
served their awards. In merit- the competitors will com- 
pare very favorabh' with those whose work I have fol- 
lowed in other trials. 
The Derby, 
Scarcity of birds made the trial short of the thorough- 
ness and satisfactory, definite competition which all like 
to see, and which is so necessary to acceptable conclu- 
sions and decisions. There was a plucky lot of effort on 
the part of many of the competing dogs, notwithstanding 
the discouraging lack of success in finding, the meager- 
uess of which is set forth in the description of the heats 
which ;follow. The work was not particularly notable 
for even commonplace good finish, the season for 
preparatory work being too short, and the birds too few 
for working opportunities. Seventeen qualified to start, 
about half of which were good material, and should be 
something above the ordinary with more age and work. 
The weather was perfect, cooler than what had pre- 
vailed for some days, with clouds to break the sun's rays 
and a light rain betimes in the afternoon. The compe- 
tition was run off so expeditiously that the Derby Avas 
ended about 4 130 o'clock. 
The following was the order of running;

First Round. 
Duly — Queen Bee — They were started at 6:02 and were' 
run thirty-three minutes. The pointer Duly was near a; 
bird, which flushed wild ahead of him and passed near 
one which was flushed by his handler shortly afterward. 
Next he was out of sight for a moment beyond a rise of 
the prairie, and some birds were seen to fly. It was re- 
ported by a spectator who cottld see the work that Duly 
had pointed them before they flushed. Queen Bee was 
very ordinary in her grade of work, and as a matter of, 
competition there was no merit in it. Duly lacked judg-' 
ment in ranging, leaving much ground uncovered, as hia 
casts were on straight lines, though he had good speed,; 
worked to the gun and covered a good deal of ground.- 
The work on game was limited to what has been men- 
tioned. 
Rod K. — Pat Grey — They were cast of? at 6:38, and 
made a very poor showing. Some chickens were found, 
undei' good conditions for work, but neither dog scored' 
on them creditably. Pat was not working at all, while 
Rod was not doing much better — that is to say, he ran' 
about faster, but without plan or purpose. , 
Palo Alto Dot and Bismarck were exceptionally? 
favored Avith good opportunities, a number of birds in- 
good positions presenting chances for points, but only • 
flushes were made. Each ran about merrily Avithin a limited 
area, but they were short of skill and knowledge, and 
therefore their performance was lacking in merit. 
Lottie Lorraine and Oakley Hill were the first pair'' 
which showed any real ability. Lottie showed a disposi- 
tion to imsteadiness to Aving at times, though not so much 
as to be a distinct demerit. Each made a flush. Oakley 
wheeled to a point a moment after his flush, and the bird ^ 
flushed Avild. Next Oakley secured a point on a bird, 
which Lottie Avas endeavoring to locate ; catching sight of ■ 
Oakley, she drew by him, refusing to back, and made a 
point close by him on the same bird. This was all the 
bird AA'ork Avhich Avas done, Lottie Avas stylish when 
standing or Avhen in motion. All in aU, they made a very 
good showing. 
Queen W. H. and Queen's Dock started merrily, the 
latter flushing twice and dropping to wing each time, then 
driving into the covey he flushed the rest, apparently un- ■ 
intentionally, though all the conditions of Avind and loca-| 
tion Avere in his favor. Toward the end of the heat, W.i| 
H. made a flush on a chicken, but she seemed to be using 
)rer nose trying to find, her effort being of Avork rather, 
than of romping, so that on the score of diligence she was| 
taken itito the second series. Lottie had a pleasing", dasti-i 
ing style, but her work on game Avas very imperfect. 
HaAvkeye M. and Vic's Vic started next. Plawkeye Avasi 
plainly not able to compete, and after a feAv minutes, and j 
on request of his handler, the judges consented to his'l 
withdrawal. Vic continued alone to the end of Ihe thirty 
minutes, shoAving good speed and range, though nothing 
was found. 
Two Spot and Brown's Flossie m.ade a good competi- 
tion. The former was Avorking on the trail of some birdsl 
skillfully, Avhen they fl.ushed Avild. Flossie Hushed a 
single, and Spot pointed tlie foot scent of the .same bird. 
Both Avorked nicely to the gun, and had good speed aind 1 
range. \ 
HaAvkeye Joe and Queen Lucifer were not successful \ 
in finding any birds, nor did they seem to care much forj 
them, as they went aimlessly about, running in and out, ^ 
and occupied their time limit Avithout any useful result. ■ 
Mollie had a bye, but as she displayed no merit hei 
handler asked to withdraw her, whereupon her trial ^ 
ended, and the first round Avas ended near the noon hour, j 
Second Round. 
The weather being so favorable, the judges decided to ■ 
continue the running Avithout any intermission for lunch- 
in town, as Avas intended, and after the second series Avas 
made out the competition Avas resumed. Eight dogs 
Avere retained in this round, and they were run in the , 
following order : ( 
Oakley Hill and Duly Avere the first brace of the , 
second round, and the scarcity of game made an imperfect ■ 
trial. Duly loafed at times and Avorked at times, though 
his casts were taken Avith bad judgment, being in and out', 
on straight lines. Hill finished the latter part of the heaf^ 
in a good workmanlike manner as to range, style and , 
seeking, though he began in rather an indifferent Avay. 
Lottie Lorraine and Queen W. H. had the same luck 
as their predecessors in finding no game. Queen slowed 
up soon after starting, and made a very poor showing. 
Lottie, though she ranged fast and well, worked nicely 
to the gun. Her style Avas A'ery lively and pleasing. 
Vic's Vic and Two Spot were run an hour, their heat 
ending at 2:24. They were so even in ability that some 
work one Avay or the other was necessary to decide be- . 
tAveen them. It Avas necessary to put them down again 
later, as their heat had failed to produce the required 
data. In the later trial each made a flush. Two Spot ' 
next made a point. On some chickens which had been 
marked doAvn, both roaded a long way and shoAved 
meritorious Avork, though they failed to locate. The-r 
work on tlie Avhole was pleasing considering the extremely 
unfavorable conditions.

Pour v/ere kept in this series,, out 01 v/hich fhe risinnri r 
were determined, as follows : 
Oakley Hill and Two Spot suffered again from the 
scarcity of game, none being found, so that a decision 
Avas arrived^at on general principles. Hill's seeldng Avas
