Baltimore Bench Show. — This show, which takes place 
April 23, 24, 2.5 and 2G. promises to be the finest display of the 
kind ever seen here. The building selected for this exhibi- 
tion — Masonic Temple— could not have been better, as the hall 
is well lighted, and easy of access from any part of the city, 
and splendidly adapted to the purpose. The number of 
entries promises to be very large, and from appearances the 
Maryland Kennel Club will have no cause to regret their enter- 
prise. Tkaymobe. 
Dogs for the Baltimore Bench Show. — The Adams Ex- 
press Company will carry dogs from New York to Baltimore, 
for the bench show, at three dollars per 100 pounds or less 
and return them free. Doga muat be boxed, and prepared in all 
cases. If enough dogs are sent at the same time, a special 
car will be provided for their trausportatiou. The first eight 
cubic feet are considered as taking the bulk of a hundred 
pounds and will be charged as such. Every additional four 
cubic feet count as 100 pounds more. 
Westminster Kennel Club.— Mr. Charles Lincoln in- 
forms us of the assured success of the coming bench show in 
New York. The managers have determined to limit the num- 
ber of entries to 940 dogs. We beg to acknowledge cata- 
logue of prides, etc., which the crowded condition of our 
columns prevents our publishing in this issue. 
National American Kennel Club.— B y virtue of authority con- 
ferred by Article 6 of the constitution aud by-laws, I hereby call a 
regular meeting of taid club at New York, May 10 next, at 12 m . The

A VISIT TO THE EDINA KENNEL. 
Cynthiana, Ky., March 18th, 1878. 
Editor Forest and Stream : 
The recent bench show at St. Louis recalls to my mind a 
visit I made to the kennel of Jessie Sherwood, at Edina, Mo., 
last fall, while shooting in that vicinity. I consider the ken- 
nel a model establishment, and for cleanliness, neatness and 
general convenience it surpasses any I have seen. The grounds 
are quite spacious for the purpose, comprising an enclosure of 
about two acres of dry and rolling ground, part of which is 
covered by a grove of natural shade trees. The whole is en- 
closed by a high, tight board fence. Along one entire side 
are arranged the kennels, a continuous building, divided by 
close partitions into roomy and airy apartments— those in- 
tended for a pair of dogs being about 10x12 feet, with eight- 
feet ceilings— others are more roomy still. The sleeping bunks 
are placed about two feet above the floor, aud are supported 
from the wall.so that underneath they are entirely clear of props 
or supports, or anything that can interfere with a free use of 
the broom in sweeping out. Adjoining the kennels on a side 
running at right angles with them are the sleeping apartments 
of the attendants and the kitchen; the latter is furnished 
with a large stove and boilers for the preparation of the food 
for the dogs. The fence and entire range of buildings, inside 
and out, except the floors, are neatly whitewashed, and every 
thing is kept scrupulously and rigorously clean— the effect of 
which was apparent in the healthfulness and good appearance 
of the dogs, yoimg and old. 
Sir. 8. took much pride and delight in showing me his 
stock, which consisted of more than fifty sporting dogs of all 
Kinds and ages-setters, pointers, spaniels, retrievers, fox- 
hounds, beagles, fox-terriers, etc. First and prominent 
among the setters was the imported champion Rupert— black 
and tan Gordon— a noble and handsome animal who fully de- 
servea his UUe of “ Champion.” Another beauty was Pride 
of the West, a scion of Pride of the Border, a remarkably 
fin ^ hv ! r and whlte * wh0 was fi rst at St. Louis in 1876 
and 1877. Among the bitches were the red Irish Fanchon 
and Carrie II., the latter was third at the Field Trial at Hamp- 
ton, Iowa, last fall. Blue Dash, a roan dog, who is pro- 
nounced as ‘‘good as they make 'em '' in the field. Among 
the pointers I noticed Sancho, imported, winner of ten prizes 
in England aud America ; be is a finely proportioned liver and 
white dog, of the lesser breed of pointers. Ctesar, a small 
liver-colored pointer, I know from experience to be as good a 
dog as ever was shot over ; he was a winner at Chicago when 
a year old. Among the bitches were Dream and Jule with 
their litters of promising looking pups. The imported clum- 
ber spaniels Flax and Florence, I admired very much • 1 per- 
cieve they were both winners at St. Louis, this month. Also 
among the fortunate ones at St. Louis this time were the 
beagles Lee and Lillie, which I also saw during my visit, and 
thought them little beauties-but enough, suffice it to say that 
1 was highly pleased and well-entertained by that prince of 
good fellows, Jesse Sherwood. J. A. Hknshall M D 
COL. JOHNSON’S FOX-HOUNDS. 
Nashville, Tenn., March 26. 
Editor Forest and^Stream : 
As the weather yesterday was so very fine, the sun so 
bright and the air so balmy, I was thinking how very agreea- 
ble a drive in the country would he, when, to my delight, my 
friend Marsh Pinchard, Esq., drove up behind his favorite 
horse, Mike, and proposed a visit to Col. W. H. Johnson, at 
his farm, about seven miles north of this place. I accepted 
the proposition and away we went. We crossed the Cum- 
berland River over the Suspension Bridge, and took the Gal- 
latin Turnpike, which passes by the Colonel’s farm. The 
road is an excellent one, and the country on both sides of it 
is as flue for farming purposes as any there is in Middle Ten- 
nessee, aud as highly cultivated. The farms ulong this road 
are not very large, but highly improved, many of them hav- 
ing magnificent residences upon them. About three miles out 
we passed upon our right the Davidson County Asylum for 
indigent men and women. The site is a handsome one, and 
.the grounds about it beautifully laid out. A mile or so 
further on, upon the left, is the national cemetery, where 
Bomo 12,000 Union soldiers are buried. At last, alter a de- 
lightful drive of an hour, we reached Col. Johnson’s farm, one 
of the finest improved places in the country. We were fortu- 
nate in finding the Colonel at home. He received us in the 
most kind and hospitable manner. 
The name of Col. W. H. Johnson is well koown from 
Maine to Florida as an authority on all matters pertaming to 
thoroughbred stock, particularly horses and bounds. He lias 
no thoroughbred horses on his place at present, but he hu 9 the 
finest pack of fox hounds in this part of the State. The dogs 
have been bred with great edre, tbeir pedigrees being tracea- 
ble back for thirty or forty years. Some of them are one- 
half aud some seven-eighths, English bred. He has seven 
couples, which are as handsome specimens us can be seen 
The Colonel shows even iu the names of some of his dogs his 
great weakness for the blood horse, bis favorites being called 
Harry Bassett and Tom Bowling; the others are named 
respectively, Bramble, Jack, Peter Cooper, Phil Pointer 
Sandy, Doria, Minnie, Dolly, Kitty Lou and Zoo Zoo, pup- 
pies, and Lily ; the last is of the Gold-Dust strain. They are 
of different colors : Bassett and Bowling are white with verv 
dark tan spots; Phi), Sandy und Doria are red; the 
others are white, with yellow aud white and black s’po's • 
they are not quite so heavy as the pure English hound but 
Col; J. thinks they are fasler. Their voices ure very fine as 
I had an opportunity of judging while they were chasing some 
rabbits about the fields in tbe afternoon. 
The Colonel is an indefatigable huntsman, as tbe evidences 
in tbe shape of scalps and brushes of this year’s take which 
be has hung up on his piazza, will prove. This winter past 
his pack caught thirty-one foxes— twenty-six gray and five red 
ones. He greatly prefers chasing the gray fox, because there 
is more sport iu it. The red fox, as soon as frightened by 
the sound of the huntsman's horn or by the dogs, before they 
get his scent, starts right away in a straight line and will 
often run eight or ten miles without stopping ; and as the 
country is too rough, the fences too high and the farmers ob 
jecting to riding across their fields, if the dogs should get unon 
such a trail they run clear away, and the huntsmen lose nil 
the sport. Whereas the gray fox, when unearthed or started 
tries to evade the dogs by doubling aDd turning, and running 
from one cover to another, thus allowing the huntsmen an op- 
portunity of witnessing the chase from some elevated place 
or for those who are well acquainted with the country to 
dodge about from point to point, aud thus keep the hounds in 
sight the greater portion of the time. Next to following the 
hounds, nothing pleases Col. J. more t lmn to relate anecdotes 
of scenes connected wiih hunting. Of these he gave us quite 
a number. He also staled one or two peculiarities of tbe 
hound ; one was that a pack of hounds would never fight or 
interfere with a strange hound that might be added to the 
pack, but that with any other breed of dogs th°y would uot 
only fight when first brought into contact with them, bS 
would never become reconciled to him. Another was that a 
thoroughbred fox-bound would not kill sheep. After a first 
rate dinner and a most enjoyable day, we bid good-by to Col 
Johnson and returned to town. 6 - - —

The Rose Tree Fox HuNT.-Our thanks are due to this 
fine club for a copy of their constitution and by-laws. We 
would call particular attention to an admirable description of 
the Hunt and its members, kindly furnished us by a leading 
fox hunter, which we shall print in our next issue. 
Kennel Register.— Mr. Arnold Burges announces that the 
“Kennel Register" will be placed in the printers’ hands about 
the close of May. We sincerely trust, now that Mr. Burges’ 
editorial labors have drawn to a close, that this long-expected 
book will not be delayed in the mechauical part. To those 
numerous inquirers of the Forest and Stream and Rod 
and Gun, as to pedigrees, we pray them to have a little more 
patience.

Cursory Jottings by a Stray Dog.— A dog in Cambridge, 
Mass., leads policemen to the spot where drunken men are 
lying, and in that way saves many lives which would other- 
wise go to the dogs, and stay They have been attempting 
at Bergen. Point, N. J., recently to test the superior brutality 
of dog and man. A brute of a dog made an unprovoked 
attack upon a little girl, seriously injuring her. Thereupon a 
masked mob of human brutes, headed by a man who dispenses 
religion on the Sabbath, paraded thestreetsat night, demanded 
all dogs of their owners, and killed them on the spot. Some 
very valuable animals fell a prey to tbe fury of the rioters. 
Legal proceeding are to be instituted for the recovery of 
damages The failure of another New York bank reminds 
me that a bank in Massachusetts was protected from burglary 
the other night by a faithful wutch-dog What is the rela-
