Canine Elegies and Epitaphs. 
Readebs are invited to send for this column any epitaph or 
elegy of departed dogs of which they may have knowledge. We 
continue the series from last week: 
XI. — On the Death of a Lap-Dog Named Echo. 
In wood and wild, ye warbling Ye jarring, screeching things 
throng, around, 
Y'out heavy loss deplore; Scream your discordant joys; 
Now half-extinct your power of Now half your din of tuneless 
song, _ sound 
Sweet Echo is no more. With Echo silent lies. 
—Robert Burns. 
XII.— Lion. 
[This may be neither epitaph nor elegy, but more of the nature 
of an obituary; but it belongs with these rehearsals of the qualities 
of deceased canines.] 
Death of an Imported Dog. 
To the Editor of the World: 
A large Newfoundland dog departed this life at half-past three 
this morning. Lion was the name of the terrific animal who was 
the terror of the neighborhood, btit, alas, is no more, as he hath 
"gone where the woodbine twineth." His voice, resembling 
mufHed thunder, will sound no more along the silvery Potomac. 
Weeping men and children ask themselves in vain, "Where art he?" 
All of his many virtues may be expressed in the following words: 
"He was a noble dog." He used to wander mid the sylvan forests, 
and his clarion notes that echoed from crag to crag and were 
listened to by an admiring neighborhood, are heard no more. "The 
good die young," and so let it be with this noble, courageous 
brute. Peace to his manes. 
Mr. Editor, will you please insert this in your paper, as the dog 
was known far and wide, and whose death we would like to' have 
proclaimed by the leading papers of America and Europe. We 
are much pleased with your paper. Pax Vobiscura.

XIIL— On Fop. 
A dog belonging to Lady Throckmortoni Augustj 1792. 
Though once a puppy, and though Fop by name, 
Here moulders one whose bones some honor claim. 
I No sycophant, although of spaniel race, 
And though no hound, a martyr to the chase; 
Ye squirrels, rabbits, leverets, rejoice! 
Your haunts no longer echo to his voice; 
This record of his fate exulting view, 
He died worn out with vain pursuit of you. 
"Yes," the indignant shade of Fop replies, 
"And Worn with vain pursuit man also dies.'' 
r— William Cowper, 
XIV. — On a Greyhound. 
' He who outbounded time and space, 
The fleetest of the greyhound race, 
Lies here! \xt length subdued by death, 
His speed now stopped, and out of breath. 
XV.^Old Charley. 
A BRINDLE AND WHITE BULLDOG, BY HIS OWNER, THE REV. 
JAMES ADCOCK, SEPT. I, 1859. 
This lowly spot, inscribed with Charley's name, ; 
Acquires fre§J} interest ivgm his well-earned fame, : \\, 
^^Ji^'-J 
For while he lived no sturdy rogue or thief, 
Approached the house to supplicate relief; 
And many a time has laughter made me weep 
To view his horror of an unwashed sweep. 
Yet had he not the shadow of a fear. 
Nor heeded odds when other dogs were near; 
Venus and Mars held o'er him equal sway, 
And cither call he scorned to disobey. 
Tlis knotted shoulder and his vise-like jaw 
Serv'd well to keep the mongrel curs in awe; 
But when some worthier rival grac'd the stage, 
Full of high mettle, void of needless rage. 
He'd dare the onset, nor would seek retreat, 
Till prostrate lay that rival at his feet. 
His pluck and bottom were above all praise, 
And scars the prowess told of bygone days; 
Yet was he ever faithful, ever true- 
Gentle and playful as a kitten, too. 
Curious in food, how fond was he of cake! 
And every sort of biscuit one could bake! 
While with a nut to see him was a treat— 
He'd crack the shell and then the kernel eat. 
Biit iiow at length invidious disease, 
Ih league with time, has wrought his health's decease, 
And chemistry, in shape of prussic acid, 
Hath stopped his breath, and rendered him q.uite x>lacid. 
Charley, farewell! and as thy looks no more 
Shall scare the beggar from thy master's door, 
So all who knew thee best shall fondly tell 
How kind a heart did in thy bosom dwell. 
Peace, then, to his remainsl Here Charley lies, 
And if his race can claim a Paradise, 
May he the best of kennels there obtain 
And livfe to bark and play and fight again. 
"Wolf Dog Hybrids in Canadai* 
From my friend Mr. Septimus Field, who is living at 
Ases,sipipi, near the fotjt ol the Riding Mountains, in a 
sportsman's paradise abounding with moose, wapiti, 
black-tail deer and jumpers, I have received a very iii- 
tevfeslilig account of the habitual breeditlg of tiie lirSss- 
bred wolf dogs in that locality. T'ht Writer iftfornis me 
that the cross between wolf astxi domestic dog ,is 
common in hi,^ localiiy, As both are so j^leiit.iftili TI16 
Indians in the fesefves havte tMny of VSridtls colors. They 
tie up a bitch h\ the bush, tile pairing takes place the 
first night. Aw rnidikl'i named See Moose has one a cross 
b'etwe'eh k dog wolf and collie bitch. It is a little darker 
Cift thfe back, but in all other points so much like a Wdlf 
that at a short distance no one coulxl distinguish it frorri 
one. The Indiah,s use them fof their flat slel'ghs in \'fift- 
ter, as they make good traiti dogs 5 ahd> What is of more 
importance, can get their bWn living when meat is scarce 
with their o-fl^ftelf'S. The agent of the Pelly Reserve had 
thein all shot, as they worried his sheep so that he eoUld 
scavcely keep any. A settler near Asessippi has a light- 
colored one that he would not hesitate shooting anywhere 
if he were seen without his owner. Mr. Field does not 
like them. They are a lurcher-looking kind of dog. The 
production of these cross-bred animals from parents of 
both sexes of either breed is a sufficient proof, if, itl- 
deed, any were wanting, of the well-known close affinity 
between the dog and the wolf, which is now recognized 
by naturalists as one of the ancestors of the domestic dog.

Ohio FitU tHdl Association, 
GOLtTMSUS, 0., July 26. — Editor Forest and Stream: 
At a meeting of the Board of Governors of the Ohio 
Field Trial Association, held at Columbus, 0., July 26) it 
was decided, owing to circumstances beyond eotltfol of 
the club, to hold the trials of the Association on the old 
dates, Nov. 4, beginning with the Members' Stake, to be 
followed with an open Derby and an open All-Aged 
Stake, with purse of $400 in each of the stakes. 
At an inspection of the club grounds at Washington 
Court House, this week, the same were found in pros- 
perous condition, abundance of stubble which contained 
m.ore old birds with fine broods than was ever before 
known there. 
Names of judges will be announced soon. Entry blanks 
and any other information will be forwarded by C. E.

A Stat«e to a Monkey* 
The municipal council of the French town of Grenoble 
has recently voted a large sum of .money for a bronze 
statue of the famous chimpanzee named Charlemagne, 
v.'ho not long since died there. For nine years the chim- 
panzee, which was brought to Grenoble by an African 
explorer, had enjoyed the freedom of the town, being 
privileged to enter practically every house and to help 
himself to anything he fancied in fruit and vegetable 
shops. The chief reason of the town's great regard for 
the chimpanzee was that about five years ago he rescued a 
child from drowning in a well. Charlemagne had seen 
everything, and for him to swing himself over the lop 
of the well was the work of a moment. Descending by the 
rope used for the buckets, he grasped the child and 
quickly carried her back to her friends, climbing up by 
the rope. Charlemagne increased his popularity by spend- 
ing hours in the children's hospital of the town, playing 
in different wards and amusing the children, who were all 
very fond of him. In such respect was this chimpanzee 
held that when he died the inhabitants of the town fol- 
lowed his remains to the grave. — The Beacon. 
Paris has an official pack of dogs trained to rescue peo- 
ple from drowning. The other day an unfortunate man 
threw himself into the Seine for the purpose of commit- 
ting suicide. Diane, for such is the name of the quadruped 
heroine, happened to be close at hand, led by a police 
officer, who, pointing to the struggling man, bade the ani- 
mal to enter the river, Diane swam vigorously, caught 
him and dragged him, nolens volens, to the shore, whjlet 
the bystanders shpwed their delight by loud applause.

For Cruising Yachtsmen. 
f With the purpose of stimulating the interest in cruis- 
ing, and the keeping of a detailed log by cruising yachts- 
men 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 
Avaterways, but will furnish information of practical value 
to other yachtsmen making subsequent cruises on the 
same wa.t.ers.
