ftlso Don, the 2i1, same owner, a large light red setter 
out of imported Bell, a very handsome dog with a fine 
mahogany colored nose, and ought to be a good one as 
he is valued at $500. 
f' Carlo, owned by .John Grafton, of Watertown, X. Y. ; 
a handsome shaped lemon and white dog, of Webster 
stock, and certainly shows all the marks of old Kachel. 
Pride of the Border, and Fairy, owned by Chas. II. 
Raymond of Morris Plains, Xew .lersev, and im- 
ported by him from Laveraek’s kennel at long figures. 
This dog was considered the best stud dog in England, 
and is first class on a field trial, where he shows to 
much better advantage than on a bench show. He is a 
liver and while and a workmanlike looking dog. Fairy 
is a red and white, flecked with red on her nose and 
legs. Both have great brain development, are thor- 
oughly trained, and a great acquisition to America 
France, owned by Asa L. Sherwood of Skaneateles; a 
large red and white setter, would be handsome if it were 
not for his light colored eyes and nose. Also Rusa, 
same owner; a large white dog, with red ears, but we 
could not see anything e.xceedingly favorable. 
May, owned by Theo. Morford of Newton, N. J. ; a 
young white bitch with orange ears, dark nose, lips and 
eyes; fine action, and, in fact, a perfect beauty in our 
estimation. 
Joe, owned by Henry Shipman; a very handsome 
white dog with red ears and a few small red spots on 
his body; dark eyes, nose and ears; well feathered, and 
is a magnificent looking dog; and, in our opinion, the 
best dog in every respect on the bench. 
Buff, owned by L. Barber of Syracuse; a large red 
and white dog, said to be of the Webster strain. He 
shows the Gordon in his coat, and is a flue looking dog, 
but his head auit loins are very much against him for a 
first prize on a bench siiow. 
Spot, ovvned by J. A. Nichols, of Syracuse; a large 
black and while dog with tan over his eyes and on his 
cheeks, is claimed to be of Webster stock, and certainly 
shows it in his looks. 
Flirt, owned by Joseph E. Fisher of Brooklyn, N. Y ; 
she was a very handsome black and tan. 
Shot, owned by Thos. A. Jerome of Locust Valley. 
N. Y. He was also a very handsome black and tan. 
Dash, owned by Geo. C. Colborne of New York city 
(a celebrated dog, well known as Colborne’s Dash); was 
a black and tan with a great deal of white on his legs, 
finely feathered, very handsome, and said to be a fine 
dog in the field. 
Alice, owned by B. W. Jenkins of Baltimore, Md. ; 
was imported by him from Idstone’s kennel. She is 
by' Rex, out of Rhine, the 6th, and was the winner of 
the prize collar at the Springfield bench show, as the 
best Gordon setter exhibited. She is a rieh black and 
tan, very handsomely feathered, showing great beauty, 
and is said to be as good in the field as on the bench. 
Also by the same owner. Hero; sired by the celebrated 
Kent, of England. He is a grand old dog, excellent in 
the field and for stud purposes. 
Shot, owned by A. R. Strachan, was a very' fine, large 
and magnificent looking dog, valued at $400. 
A very handsome large black dog owned by A. Wad- 
dell, Newton, N .1., (nam'i forgotten); said to be an 
excellent dog in the field, but is used for stud purposes 
only. 
Phil, owned by ex Mayor Porter of Watertown, N. Y. 
A fine looking, large liver and white pointer dog, 
worthy of more than a passing notice. 
Dr. E. L. Sargent of Watertown also e.xhii'ited a large 
fine looking liver colored pointer dog, and also a re- 
markably intelli.gent and clever looking setter named 
Bob. 
Pete, owned by' G. A. Strong of West Jleriden, Ct. 
He IS a large black pointer, and the winner of the first 
prize a Springfield. He is a magnificent looking dog. 
and well worthy of any prize he may have taken. Also a 
fine looking black and white setter by the same owner. 
Sancho, imported and owned by B. W. Jenkins. She 
is a medium sized liver and white ))oiuter, showing 
great breeding in size and muscle. This dog was win- 
ner in the Crystal Palace and Birmingham shows of 
England, an. I selected by Idstone for Mr. Jenkins last 
autumn. She is thoroughly' broken; a great ranger; in 
fact, a magnificent dog in every respect and deserving 
of great consideration. 
Ben, owned by A. Waddell, a small red pointer and a 
fine looking dog. Also by the same owner, Dell, not as 
handsome as Ben. 
Sancho, owned by' James Carter of Lockport, N. Y. ; 
a fine looking white pointer with orange ears. 
Flash, owned by Dr. Strachan, a very handsome small 
black pi.inti r, valued at $:{r)0. Mr. Waddell also had 
a very handsome pair of Red Irish puppies, nine weeks 
old, on exhibition only. Also Topsy and Phil, a very 
handsome pair of black pointer pups. 
Jock and Flax, owiied by B. W. Jenkins. A brace 
of Clumber spaniels imported by' him about two weeks 
ago. They were .selected by Idstone, who says they' are 
the best brace that ever left England. They are a beau- 
tiful while with rich orange ears and a few spots on the 
body'. They are long bodied with short pony legs and 
look as if they meant business. They were bred by 
Mr. Sinnot of England, from the stock of the Duke of 
Newcastle, who owns this strain in great purity, being 
the only pair in this country; they were the great attrac- 
tion of the show, and a number of persons came ex- 
pressly to see the Clumber spaniels. We congratulate 
Mr. Jenkins on the favorable accession to his kennel, 
and re.“pcctfully call the attention of .spoitsmen to these 
dogs, which must take the place of pointers and setters, 
for rutted grouse and woodcock shooting in heavy 
cover. Flax is enciente by a celebrated dog in the South 
of England, and ex ected to whelp in a few days. 
Robert Hart of Watertown, exhibited a fair looking 
black retriever. 
Fred Flower of Watertown, exhibited a handsome 
liver and white English water spaniel, said to be a good 
retriever and a thoroughbred, but we should call him a 
cross-breed. 
Henry Todd of Batavia, N. Y'., a large imported Eng- 
lish spaniel, which looked like a good worker. 
A Waddell, also, had a beautiful pair of Cocker 
spaniels. 
The show of hounds was not large and did not come 
up to the standard of Eng'ish fox hounds, with the 
exception of Fanny, an imported bitch owned by Mr. 
Eddy of Watertown. She was a beauty and hard to 
beat any'where. There were also some noble specimens 
of the old heavy Southron hounds, which were mag- 
nificent, and such as are seldom seen at the present day'. 
Anion, the rest of them there w ere some fine looking 
hounds, but not deemed worthy' of special attention. 
In the champion Puppy class, Mr. Waddell had a red 
setter Dan not worthy of particular mention. 
Henry Shipman’s Dan, a very fine stylish dog with a 
magnificent coat. 
C. H. Raymond’s Laverack, a beauty with great brain 
development, the distinguishing mark of the Laverack. 
Jno. H. Fitcher of West Troy, N. Y., Gipsey Queen 
by McDonald’s field winner, Ranger, a very handsome 
puppy, but we should judge delicate in constitution. 
Ex-Mayor Porter of Watertown, Frank, a black, 
white and tan setter; a handsome dog, and looks as if he 
might be of the Webster strain. 
Nearly all the dogs on exhibition w'ere remarkably 
fine. 
reward of merit, but the well selected judges will un- 
doubtly select the rao.st meritorious for the good prizes 
offered.

Cincinnati promises fair to possess one of the best 
arranged “zoos,” in the world. We have alieady given 
a short account of its rise and progre.ss. It has become 
famous for its possession of a aonkey, unique of its 
kind, the fabled ass that kicked the dying lion was 
nothing to it, for this animal fought and conquered a 
live lioness, and although the poor donkey came off 
badly and may yet die of his wounds, the public admi- 
ration which attends him would heal all his wounds, if 
he were not an ass. The latest success of the Cincin- 
nati zoo, is its acquisition of Dr. Doerner, a gentleman 
of repute as a zoological manager who has been imported 
all the way from Hamburg for the express purpose of 
taking charge of the new institution, and Cincinnati is 
justly reckoned oue of our most progressive cities, not 
growing merely in number and in wealth but in culture. 
With a large German element it is natural that they 
should have thought of bringing over Dr. Doerner, and 
as science and an are the heritage of the whole world, 
we are glad to be the gainers by' this cosmopolitan liber- 
ality, though we .should not have been sorry had some 
of our “home” scientists been thought worthy of the 
honor. 
WESTEi^lrEMS. 
I by OCR -own correspondents.] 
The pun has been laid aaldc for the rod and reel. All the disci- 
ples of Wal'on who can muster a rod and bucket of minnows are in- 
tent on pursuit of bass, croppie and pike, generally with a fair 
amount of success. The prospect for grouse is said to be very srood. 
Many of the farmers are very bitter agninst the shooting clubs, on 
account of the game law which operates more for ihcir benefit than 
does to that of the sportsman, for it has furnished the farmer with a 
good trespass law, and the same time, contains a prorision that 
practically make? it a dead letter; but it had to be made a part of 
the bill to save it from defeat. It allows persons to pursue and kill 
game at all times on their own premises; and yet the farmers are 
indignant at the sportsmen because they tried to prevent the total 
extinction of game. Permission to kill on one’s own preiuists 
means license to delegate the privilege lo others, and the pruct'cal 
result of our law is that many farmers post their lands and drive off 
every shooter who is not a personal friend or acquaintance, while 
they kill all or nearly all of the grouse on their premises before the 
close season expires. An ai tempt made at the last session of 
our legi^lalu^e to aoolish the clause permitting the owner of the 
land killing game out of season, developed the fact that any attempt 
to alter the law would be almost sure to result in its eiitire repeal ; 
hence prudence dictated that it should be let alone sorry lo 
say that our club has not shown an earnest desire to be represented 
at Cleveland.
