A Precocious Pappy. 
McDonald, Pa. — I beg leave to challenge the foreign or 
American land with a twentieth century puppy. I ques- 
tion if the past century has seen his equal or will the 
present produce another so phenomenal as Todd Upper- 
laddy at his present age. Todd was whelped July 25, 
1901, and from his English breeding, combined with good 
care and free country life, he has grown to be a large, 
thrifty pup and a phenomenon. He never hunted with 
a broken dog, but his record the latter part of the hunting 
season will show that he is a natural born shooting dog. His 
first beginning. Nov. 29, was pointing single birds, making 
in all that afternoon nine of the stanchest points no 
veteran could excel ; holding some points from five to 
ten minutes, until I could call the remainder of our hunt- 
ing party there to witness the puppy perform. Then I 
would walk by him, start the bird and kill it. The pup 
would bring it to me, and none of our party could get it 
from him. 
The following day, Saturday, Nov. 30, the pup pointed 
his first covey, and a more beautiful sight is seldom pic- 
tured than this baby standing there as firm as a rock, 
taking an occasional glance around at me and straining 
every nerve trying to speak. Finally I started them, and 
two singles hit the earth. Thirteen single bird points he 
made in the remainder of the day. I killed fourteen, the 
pup retrieving all. He is improving every day, both in 
range and speed. Please note, however, that I have 
nothing of this kind for sale, nor am I soliciting.

Of Interest to Americans. 
The Sun, under date of Jan. 4, published the following 
dispatch from London, England: 
"The American customs officers have earned much 
notoriety of late by the thoroughness of their methods, 
but even this, apparently, does not make them proof 
against deception. 
"The Stockkeeper and Fanciers' Chronicle to-day prints 
disclosures which seem to show that persons connected 
with the English Kennel Club have been actively engaged 
for some, time in defrauding American importers and 
customs officers by giving false pedigrees of dogs. These 
offenses were committed in connection with the certifi- 
cates which are issued exempting dogs with a pedigree 
of three generations from customs duties. 
"Heretofore the official certificates issued by the Eng- 
lish Kennel Club have been recognized as reliable. Re- 
cently the desk of one of the employes of the club was 
examined while he was at home on sick leave and several 
fictitious pedigrees were discovered on the regular con- 
sular forms. Further investigation showed that the 
frauds had been going on for some time, one dealer gain- 
ing £150 by a single fraudulent transaction of this kind. 
"Mr. Jaquel. Secretary of the English Kennel Club, 
writes to the Stockkeeper that a committee which inves- 
tigated the matter discovered a few instances where false 
pedigrees had been issued, and in consequence thereof 
certain employes of the club had been dismissed."

Points and Flushes. 
An Associated Press despatch recounts that "The At- 
lantic City Kennel Club was organized at that city on 
Jan. 3 and plans formed for the holding of an annual ken- 
nel show on Young's ocean pier. The Marine Building 
will be fitted up for the show, which is planned for the 
week preceding Easter. T. F. Terry, a director of the 
New York Horse Show and an officer of the Philadelphia 
Dog Show Association, is interested in the project." 
Horse, Dog and the Man. 
The horse and the dog had tamed a man and fastened him to a 
fence; 
Said the horse to the dog, "For the life of me, I don't see a bit 
of sense 
In letting him have the thumbs that grow at the side of his- 
hands— do you?" 
And the dog looked solemn and shook his head and said, "I'm a 
goat if I do." 
The poor man groaned and tried to get loose, and sadly he begged 
them: "Stay! 
You will rob me of things for which I have use by cutting my 
thumbs away! 
Vou will spoil my looks, you will cause me pain! And why would 
you treat me so ? 
As I am God made me, and He knows best! Oh, masters, pray, 
let me go!" 
The dog laughed out, and the horse replied, "Oh, the cutting 
won't hurt. You see, 
We'll have a hot iron to clap right on, as you did in your docking 
of me! 
God gave you your thumbs and all, but still the Creator, you 
know, may fail 
To do the artistic thing, as He did in furnishing me with a tail!" 
So they bound the man and cut off his thumbs, and were deaf to 
his pitiful cries, 
And they seared the stumps, and they view their work with happy 
and dazzled eyes; 
"How trim he appears," the horse exclaimed, "since his awkward 
thumbs are gone, 
For the life of me, I cannot see why the Lord ever put them on." 
1 
"Still, it seems to me," the dog replied, "that there's something 
else to do; 
His ears look rather too long to me, and how do they look to you?" 
The man cried out: "Oh, spare my ears! God fashioned them as 
you see, 
And if you apply your knife to them you'll surely disfigure me!" 
"But you didn't disfigure me, you know," the dog decisively said, 
"When you bound me fast and trimmed my ears down close to 
the top of my head!" 
So they let him moan and they let him groan while they cropped 
his ears away. 
And they praised his looks when they let him up, and proud in- 
deed were they. 
But that was years and years ago, in an unenlightened age ! 
Such things are ended now, you know! We have reached a higher 
stage! 
The ears and thumbs God gave to man are his to keep and wear, 
And the cruel horse and dog look on and never appear to care.

Designing Competition. 
In view of the continued and increasing interest v 
yachting, a designing competition will be opened in th 
columns of Forest and Stream. In America the yachfc 
mg season is comparatively a short one, and such a com- 
petition as has been determined upon will serve to stimn 
late the interest in the subject during the winter months 
i he competition is open to both amateur and professional 
designers. Three prizes will be given for the best de 
signs of a yacht conforming to the following conditions: 
I. A pole mast sloop. 
II. 25ft. load waterline 
?5* ?°t over 4ft - draft (with cent-erboard hoisted). 
Yr } i ast 50 per cent of ballast outside on keel. 
V. 5ft. headroom under cabin carlins. 
All abnormal features must be studiously avoided ii 
u rf S i. gn; and the construction, sail and cabin plan 
should be of the simplest character. It was our idea it 
laying out the conditions of the competition to make then 
S i, m j as P° sslbIe . so as not to hamper in any wa^ 
the designer, and yet convey to all that we wished tf 
produce a safe, comfortable cruiser on which two o 
three amateurs could live with comfort for a period 01 
two or three months and cruise along our eastern sea 
board from New York to Halifax with safety. A center 
board boat of moderate draft was decided upon, as sc 
many more harbors would be accessible to a boat of tha- 
type. 
DRAWINGS REQUIRED. 
I. Sheer plan, scale iin. = 1 ft— showing center o 
buoyancy and lateral resistance. 
II. Half breadth, scale iin. = ift. 
III. Body plan, scale rfri = ift, 
IV. Cabin plan, scale iin. = ift. 
V. Sail pian %m. = ift., showing center of effort 
ihe sails should consist of a jib, mainsail, spin- 
naker and balloon jib. No topsail will be carried 
A table of offsets and an outline specification mus, 
accompany each design. The drawings should be care 
tully drawn and lettered. All drawings should be mad* 
on white paper or tracing cloth in black ink (no colorec 
inks or pigments should be used). The designs mus 
bear a nom-de-plume only and no indication must be 
given of the author. In a sealed envelope, however, thi 
designer should inclose his own name and address, to- 
gether with his nom-de-plume. All designs must be re- 
ceived at the office of the Forest and Stream Publish'ng 
Company, 346 Broadway, New York City, not later that 
, , , ig02 - Al1 drawings will be returned, but postagi 
shQtild accompany each. 
The Forest and Stream reserves the right to publisl 
any or all the designs. 
The prizes offered are as follows: 1st prize, $25.00 
2d prize, $15.00; 3d prize, $10.00. Mr. Theodore C. Zeregi 
offers an additional prize of $10.00 for the best cabin plan 
Honorable mention will also be made of meritoriou' 
designs. 
Mr. Clinton H. Crane, of the firm of Messrs. Tarns 
i.emome & Crane, has kindly consented to judge th< 
designs and make the awards. Mr. Crane's professiona 
standing is so high that he needs no introduction, anc 
every confidence will be put in his ability and fairness 
American Y. C/s New Classes. 
The American Y. C. is making a great effort to promott 
small boat racing among its members, and to that enc 
two one-design classes have been formed, and better rac- 
ing will be had at this club than has been seen for mam 
seasons past. Races will be held on every Saturday anc 
on holidays. The following official notice has been issuer, 
relating to the new boats : 
"Encouraged by the success of the one-design class 
during the last summer, your committee have deemed ii 
jI- S - 6 t0 put before the members of the club twe 
additional classes, both larger and of greater cost, for the 
ensuing season. 
"Plans and specifications have been obtained from Mr 
B B. Crowmnshield for a 21ft. raceabout, the dimension^ 
and construction of which are to be, briefly, about a< 
follows ; : Length over all, 33ft. 5in. ; length on waterline. 
2itt. ; beam, 7ft. 6in. ; draft, 5ft. 6in. Estimates have 
been procured from a number of prominent builders, and 
your committee have decided to accept the estimate of 
Messrs. Rice Brothers, of East Boothbay, Me., of $1 000. 
This estimate includes delivery of the boats at Milton 
Point, Rye. and their acceptance by the designer, on or 
bef jre the first day of May, 1002. The builder is called 
upon to insure the boats up to the time of their delivery, 
and a penalty is imposed upon him of $7 a day for every 
day after May 1, 1902, if he should fail to deliver them 
on that date. In addition to the above cost, there will be 
a charge of $25 on each boat for the personal supervision 
of Mr. Crowninshield, and there is also a total sum of 
$r5o for the design, which latter sum will be divided 
pro rata among the members ordering. The design and 
specifications of this boat are in accordance with the Long 
Island Association rules for the 21ft. raceabout class. 
"Already five members have agreed to take one each 
of the 21ft. class boats, Messrs. T. L. Park, Oliver Harri- 
man, Jr., Howard Willets, Stuyvesant Wainwright and 
William H. Browning. 
"The second design, obtained by your committee, is 
from the Milton Point Ship Yard, and calls for a boat of 
which the dimensions and specifications are, approxi- 
mately : 
"Length over all, 25ft. ; length of waterline, 18ft. ; draftj 
3ft. 3in. ; beam, 7ft. 6in. ; sail area, 420 sq. ft. 
"The builders agree to deliver this boat by May 15 for 
$450, provided orders are placed at once for at least five 
boats. As the Milton Point Ship Yard is located close by 
the club, and naturally much interested in the success ofi 
the class, your committee believe that the boats will be 
built in the best possible manner, and sold at a price veryi 
close to the net cost. This boat will be built to sail in the 
18ft. class of the Long Island Sound Racing Association 
rules, and will be made of the best materials and copper 
fastened throughout They are designed with a special
