ally from their owners, and doubtless return the compli- 
ment frotel time to time, and distemper in its various 
Dogs wliicih are kept as pets, and which lead a pam- 
pered liSe, «u]f¥er from catarrh in its most severe forms 
from wen a very slight exposure to inclement weather. 
l3iSt6i¥iper presumablj^ only occurs, as a rule, once in an 
"aniffial's life, but there is nO' doubt that the severe forms 
"of catarrh very often dp duty for it. Different forms of 
indigestion may be associated with irritation of the mu- 
cous mesmbranes throughout, and the eyes will suffer in 
commtfla with other parts. Rheumatism is also one of the 
nKaMiies which arc attended with inflammation, more or 
Jltess pronounced, of the eyes, the eyeball itself and the lids 
(pa'rticipating in the disorder. It must, therefore, be ob- 
^vious that the common expression "a discharge from 
Sllie eyes" may refer to a varietj^ of morbid conditions 
which are not to be counteracted by an application of a 
lotion to the eye. Perhaps a safe giiide for the tyro in 
medicine may be found in the duration of the discharge. 
In any case of simple irritation from the presence of dirt 
or grit it n\ay be fairly expected that the symptoms will 
cease very quickly upon the application of simple remedies, 
that is to say, after it has been clearly ascertained that 
there is no offending body adherent to the underneath 
part t)f the eyelid. The continuance of the discharge week 
^ifttr week, or even month after month, as some of our 
icorrespondents describe it, maj- certainly be taken to mean 
stbat something more than ordinary irritation of a simple 
^iwd is present, and under siich circumstances the chances 
iare that the common tye water, for example, three or 
tour grains of boracic acid in an ounce of rose water, is 
not likely to do any good, and may possibly do some harm 
by checking the discharge, which is really critical in its 
character. The proper course in such cases would he to 
consult an expert in diseases of the dog. who will most 
probably be able to find some constitutional cause to ac- 
count fo-t what has been looked upon as a local disorder. 
There is one form of disease which is attended with 
consideratle discharge from the eyes undoubtedly pos- 
sessinig' contagious qualities. This affection is known as 
«GoMagious ophthalmia. The oculist is perfectly well 
«.ware that an outbreak of such a malady in a school, for 
example, is likely to be attended with remarkable rapidity 
of its spreading; even the use of a towel which has been 
employed by a sufferer from the disorder is sufficient to 
convey the disease. Perhaps the most marked illustra- 
tion of this variety of the affection in the dog is that 
which is associated with distemper, and it may be noted 
here that by the term ophthalmia is meant the disease 
which implicates the eyeball itself. More or less opacity 
of the cornea is one of the symptoms of ophthalmia either 
of the simple and contagious variety, and, in the case of 
the dog affected with the ophthalmia of distemper, the 
indicatioius are of a most marked character. The con- 
junctival membrane is highly injected and reddened, the 
cornea becomes opaque early in the disease, and very fre- 
quently a small spot of ulceration appears in the center 
of it, Avhich rapidly extends, and in many cases "penetrates 
the cornea completely, allowing the fluid in the anterior 
cliamber of the eye to escape. A profuse discharge of a 
ipurulent character continues during the whole course of 
lithe disease, and one of the annoying features of the com- 
-plaint is the gluing together of the eyelids, which can only 
!be separated by very careful and continued fomentations 
-< if warm water or, what is better, warm milk. One very 
remarkable feature of the ophthalmia of distemper is the 
tendency which it exhibits to rapid repair of the damaged 
structures. The eye, which to all appearances is utterly 
lost, gradually during the convalescent stage of distemper 
recovers its normal appearance even without the use of 
any local remedies; in fact, it was a maxim with the late 
Edward Mayhew, who was a great authority on the treat- 
ment of diseases of the dog, that the least interference 
with the eye, even the attempt to remove the adherent dis- 
charge by fomentation, was likely to do more harm than 
good, and that nature, left entirely unaided, would man- 
age the restorative work quite perfectlJ^ The modern 
veterinarian does not. as a rule, share this view, but ap- 
plies fomentatim and lotions during the course of the 
disease, apjwmitly with average success. — London Field.

For Cruising: Yachtsmen. 
With the purpose of stimulating the interest in cruis- 
ing, and the keeping of a detailed log by cruising yachts- 
m.en during the season of 1902, the publishers of Forest 
AND Stream offer prizes for the best stories of cruises 
submitted to be published in Forest and Stream. It is 
believed that these will form not only entertaining records 
of pleasant summer days spent afloat along our coasts and 
waterways, but will furnish information of practical value 
to other yachtsmen making subsequent cruises on the 
same waters. 
Prizes will be awarded to the three best stories as fol- 
lows: 
First prize. $i?o.oo. \ 
Second prize, $30.00. 
Third prize, $20.00. 
Contributions are invited Under tht following condi- 
tions: ' _ I * 
1. The cruise must be made in waters of the United 
States or Canada in the season of 1902. 
2. The cruise must be made in a sailing yacht, power 
to be used only as an auxiliary, if at all. 
3. The story must be prefaced by a description of the 
boat. Cruises should be treated in as interesting and 
readable a way as possible, but should be practical and 
contain all possible information and data that would be of 
value to men going over the same route. A description 
of the handling of the ship in all weathers will be re- 
garded very favorably in making awards, and it is sug- 
gested to writers that an accurate account be kept of all 
incidents happening while under way. 
4. An outline chart suitable for reproduction, showing 
the course taken, must accompany each article. When 
possible, articles should be accompanied by amateur photo- 
graphs taken on the cruise, including one of the boat. 
Good photographs will be considered in making the 
awards. 
5. The story should contain about seven thousand 
words, written on one side of the paper only, and must 
be received at the office of the Forest and Stream Pub- 
lishing Company, 346 Broadway, New York city, on or 
before Nov. 15, 1902. 
Mr. T. C. Zerega has very kindly consented to act as 
judge and to make the awards. 
New York Y. C. 
GLEN" COVE CUPS. 
Tuesday, June 24. 
The animal New York Y. C. races for the Glen Cove 
cups were sailed on Ttiesday, June 24. Fifteen craft 
started, and the winners in the different classes were 
Vigilant, Elmina, Mineola, Hester, Humma and Dorwina. 
The schooner Amorita was not timed, and the class M 
sloop Cymbra did not finish. 
Had there been as much breeze as sunshine, conditions 
would have been ideal. There was wind enough, however, 
to enable the larger craft to cover the fifteen-mile tri- 
angle twice, The smaller boats in classes L and M, which 
had to go over the journej'- btit once, ended the race in 
good season. 
The wind was fickle and shifting. At 11:40 A. M. the 
time of the starting signal for classes J, -K, L and M, it 
was blowing from the northwest. This gave the craft a 
reach with booms to starboard to the first mark off 
LIo}'-d's Point, a distance of six miles from the start. 
The yawls Ailsa and Vigilant and the 70-footers 
Mineola and Yankee, however, preferred to- run close up 
into the wind and set spinnakers for the last part of the 
journey to the mark. 
The starting signal for the yawls and 70-footers was 
sounded at 11:45. Ailsa slipped over the line 19s. ahead 
of Vigilant. The new hollow spar and rig of the latter 
appeared to like the light airs. Regardless of a soft spot 
just before the first mark, which greatly handicapped 
all of the starters, the old defender of 1893 rounded the 
mark 3m. and 50s. ahead of her rival. 
With the wind gone for the moment, this lead was of 
uttermost advantage. Drifting over toward the end of 
her four-mile leg to a buoy off Great Captain's Island 
Light, the converted Herreshoff creation got the first of 
the breeze in its journey toward the south, while the other 
starters were almost becalmed off Lloyd's Point. 
The wind gradually veered arotmd into the westward 
v,nd finally landed in the southwest, where it remained 
during the last half of the contest. The change to the 
extreme southern point came at an inopportune time for 
most of the boats. 
Just as Vigilant rounded the hom.e tnark, at the end 
of the first round of the triangular course, the remainder 
of the fleet were making down from Great Captain's 
Island Light on the five-mile leg. Then the wmd went 
into the southwest. This headed off all of the other boats 
and gave Vigilant a fair spinnaker run to Lloyd's Point 
buoy. 
Vigilant simply walked away. She finished the race 
24m. and 32s. ahead of Mineola, the second boat to com- 
plete the contest, and was 38m, and is. ahead of Ailsa. 
Counting the 19s, advantage Ailsa had on the start, and a 
time allowance of 2m, and a?- conceded her by Vigilant,
