A white Setter Dog has come suddenly upon a flock of Quails concealed behind a thick bush, 
in the open woods at the edge of a green meadow. The time represented is early morning in 
autumn. Although the dog cannot see the game, his keen scent tells him it is very near, and he 
has come to “ a point ” to indicate to his master the close proximity of the birds. 
4. “ Does Your Mother Know You’re Out ? ” Wm T. Hornaday, - $3500 
A Scarlet Ibis, stalking along the bank of a tropical river, comes suddenly upon a tiny alligator

ready to hatch. 
Section 2.— Groups of Birds. 
5 The Flamingo at Home. - - F. S. Webster, - - - $150.00 
This group teaches some important facts in the natural histor3' of the strange bird which 
forms the subject. In the shallow water, near the edge of a tropical lagoon, a female Flamingo has 
built her elevated nest of mud and grass, and in a half standing posture is covering her eggs. 
This nest is modeled according to the description and measurements given by Audobon. At the 
left of the nest, a stately male Flamingo on the bank is stepping into the water, while on the right 
another large male bird is stooping down, intently watching a small turtle which can just be dis" 
cemed at the bottom of the water. The accessories, a dwarf palmetto and aquatic plants, are pur- 
posely few in number, and many desirable features in color have been omitted for the sake of 
preserving the entire naturalness of the surroundings.

A Red-tailed Hawk had just killed a partridge and had scarcely begun his meal, when a Goshawk 
swoops down upon him with outstretched talons to seize the quarry. The hawk has turned upon 
his back, shielding his prey with one wing, and with open beak and talons is ready to receive his 
assailant, who hovers in mid-air immediately above him. We commend this to politicians as 
showing the Heaven-inspired origin of the motto, — “ To the Victors belong the Spoils.”
