came back, got to the open water and found a 
log jam which extended for another mile, got 
over that somehow and had an awful time mak¬ 
ing the river, as the woods were very thick be¬ 
tween there and the road. 
We were nearly all in by now, but we 
wanted to make Sanford Lake before nightfall, 
so still pushed up the river. The “Mighty” 
Hudson has furnished a theme for many 
writers, but I’ll guarantee that none who de¬ 
scribe it in that way had ever seen it a few 
miles below Sanford Lake. It is about 75 feet 
wide and so shallow that a canoe can hardly 
float in it. We gave up trying to pole and 
went overboard pushing and pulling, but this 
was hard, as the bed is mostly quicksand and 
several times we went in above our knees, and 
would no doubt have gone further but for the 
fact that numbers of logs were buried in the 
sand, and in each case we were lucky enough 
to strike one. Then, too, it wound around like 
a snake, and though the map showed we were 
near Sanford Lake, it seemed an endless jour¬ 
ney there. At last it got nearly dark, so we 
camped again on the river tired out, as usual. 
It was getting very cold and commenced to 
rain as we finished supper, keeping it up all 
night. In the morning our clothes were still 
wet, and it was very damp and cold, the wind 
coming from the north. The woods were wet 
through, too, and we had no easy time light¬ 
ing a fire. 
It took two hours to make Sanford Lake, 
our work being a repetition of the previous 
afternoon. This lake is four miles long and 
was the wildest we had struck on the trip, the 
shores being densely wooded, while the mountains 
form a magnificent background to them. We 
were glad when the paddle was over and we 
could carry again, for though we had all our 
extra clothes on, we were chilled through. 
This was along a good road for about two miles, 
and then we came to the Tahawus Club, which 
is beautifully situated in almost the heart of the 
mountains. Our object right along had been 
to make Henderson Lake, the source of the 
Hudson, and leave our canoes there, while we 
climbed Mt. Marcy and went through Indian 
Pass. However, at the Tahawus we were in¬ 
formed that Henderson Lake was private prop¬ 
erty, and that we could not camp on it, so we 
left the canoes there and divided the packs be¬ 
tween us and started for Camp Colden, seven 
miles away. This is an open shack five miles 
from the summit of Mt. Marcy put up for the 
convenience of tourists; the trail to it from the 
club is in very good condition, and through 
splendid country. It rained during most of 
that afternoon, however, and we got on the wrong 
trail, reaching some private camps of the Ta¬ 
hawus Club, and it was after dark when we 
eventually came to the open shack. Here we 
found three fellows who had been up Marcy 
that day. It was a tight fit to get seven in the 
lean-to, but we somehow managed it. 
On the following morning we walked 
around Colden Lake and then over to Ava¬ 
lanche. I cannot do justice to either one, for 
the scenery is really grand, and when we 
looked at Avalanche we felt well repaid for 
all our hard work. Then we went back to the 
shack and from there took the trail up Marcy, 
making the five miles in two and one-quarter

Batavia Dog Show. 
Batavia, N. Y., Sept. 22. —Editor Forest and 
Stream: Our eighth annual show closed yester¬ 
day. It rained Wednesday, the first day of the 
fair, but during the three days of the dog show 
we had favorable weather. One hundred and 
twenty-five dogs were benched. We advertised 
to begin the judging at 10 o’clock, and Judge 
Mortimer and the management were ready to 
begin on time, but the express companies were 
slow in producing the dogs. A large shipment 
from Buffalo started at 7 a. m. and were not 
delivered till about 2 r. m. So we delayed in 
the morning and only judged in spots. At 2 
p. m. we began at the beginning and finished 
Bostons, taking the balance of the breeds and 
general specials Friday morning. There was 
no competition till pointers were reached, Wat- 
land’s Commissioner getting winners dogs and 
Sunshine winners bitches. The latter is by 
Beppo G. and received the special for best of 
the breed. The English setters were not filled 
as well as in former years. Cockers, however, 
were well represented, Lackawanna Duplicate 
getting winners dogs, other than black and 
special, for best of the breed. Airedale classes 
were well filled and showed much quality, 
Clonmel Isonomy securing winners dogs, and 
Clonmel Command winners bitches. Command 
was given the best in the breed and eventually 
the best terrier special and also the best in the 
show. Isonomy received reserve to best in 
show, and together they were awarded both the 
Batavia special and the Spratt’s special. 
The Boston classes were well filled, having 
the most of any breed, with cockers second. 
Rexonian was the winning dog, and Lady Verm 
the winning bitch, and Mr. Dietschler is to be 
congratulated on securing both winners, with 
as many good Bostons as there were competing. 
Champion Micky Flynn won the special for 
best local dog (Irish setter), and the French 
bull Brunette won best of opposite sex. Bos¬ 
ton Obbie won the President’s cup for best in 
the county; the cocker Dinah Belle May the 
best of opposite sex, having won in her classes 
and was the winning black bitch. The Rich¬ 
mond cup for best sporting dog went to Eng¬ 
lish setter Flint II., and the best non-sporting 
special to the collie Southport Aristatype. 
The cut-glass prizes were distributed Satur¬ 
day noon, there being a prize for the best of 
all the principal breeds, as well as the unclassi¬ 
fied list. This is all Batavia made and was 
much appreciated by the recipients as being 
useful as well as ornamental.

Southern Ohio Field Trial Association. 
The second annual trials will be held on 
Oct. 28 . Grounds comprising 1,850 acres have 
been secured between Bethel and Felicity, O. 
The trials are open to members and amateurs. 
There will be derby and all-age stakes, with 
$100 purse in each, divided 50 , 30 and 20 per 
cent., the winners having the option of taking 
cash or silver cups of equal value. Entrance, 
$ 5 ; $2 to nominate and $3 to start. George C. 
Walker, of Fort Thomas, Ky., will judge. Ed. 
Harvey and Ray Bartlow, both familiar with 
the grounds, will act as marshals. Entries will 
positively close on Oct. 19 . George R. Harris, 
Cincinnati, O., the secretary, will forward entry 
blanks on request. 
The locality in which the trials are to be 
run is well stocked with birds, and there should 
be no trouble in getting every dog on game. 
The ladies of the Bethel M. E. Church will 
provide dinners for the participants in the trials, 
and there are good accommodations for men 
and dogs in the town. The prospects seem 
favorable for one of the best field trials ever 
run in southern Ohio.
