Doane, a field trial and bench show winner;
of Little Nell, a field trial and bench show
winner; of Yoube, a field trial and bench
show winner; and it is his blood, crossed on
the Palmerston strain, as we nave it here,
that produced the famous Aveline, winner
at the recent Kennel club show, in England,
of first prize for field trial winners, open to
all breeds of settlers.
1t was an Irish setter, coupled with a
Llewellyn, that won the brace stakes at Mem
phis in 1886. 1t was an Irish setter that won
the champion stakes at Sank Center, Mimi,
in 1873, defeating among others the famous
field trial Llewellyn setter, Sanborne's Nellie;
also the crack pointers, Ranger and Countess
Royal. 1t was an Irish setter that won the
puppy stakes of the Eastern Field Trial club,
in 1880. 1t was an Irish setter tina won the
members cup of the Eastern Field Trial club,
in 1881. 1t was an Irish setter that won the
same cup again in 1884. 1t was an Irish set
ter that won the members takes of the
Fishers Island clubs trials, in 1885, and it
was an Irish setter that won the members
stakes of the New Jersey Kennel and Field
Trial clubs trial, in 1885. Many more might
be given, but the foregoing are sufficient to
refute all atemen that the Irish setter is
not a field dog of the highest merit.
Among the many noted dogs of the day is
Tim, owned by Max Wenzel, Esq, L , en-,

bench show winner, and !. a
daughter OF Elcho and ru- .er bv
the famous PalmerStoa.
Another noted dog is Chief, also owned by
Mr.. Wenzel Chief is n well known winner
in the field and on the bench; he is a son of
Berkley--a field trial and bench show winner
and Duck. Berkeley was by Elcho, ex
Loo II.
Among the famous bitches, Molly Bawn is
prominent as winner of the LIST Newark, LIST
New Haven, LIST Hartford, LIST Champion
class, New York, 1886; LIST Champion class,
Newark, Boston, Philadelphia and New

Thompson, Philadelphia, and is an animal of

Glencho; he by Elcho ex Noreen, and a litter
brother to Prince and Elcho, Jr.
There are many more famous Irish settlers
In America, but space forbidS a history of
their winnings. The portraits given and the
records mentioned are sufficient to show the
quality of the breed, and it is hoped will
prove OF interest to all its admirers, and pos
sibly somewhat of a surprise to those who

faculty of adapting himself to every climate
and all kinds of game, while his rich colored
coat and affectionate nature make him q
pleasing companion when not required in the
field He is free from lumber, but has plenty
of bone and muscle, and that energy which
is his greatest fault in the minds of some who
seem to forget that without it no dog for
field work can rise above mediocrity. How
ever, all his vim is but the natural result of
that great courage and power of endurance
which, when educated, carries all before it,
and without which there can be no superb
GRITTY.
A few years since there was quite a dis
cussion in one of our leading sporting prints,
between one or two correspondents and the
writer of this article, on the question of color,
owing to the fact of a well known sportsman,
"Old Calabar," offering chestnut colored
Irish settlers for sale, which led some to be-
heve he meant liver color or the black tipped
coated ones. He did not mean liver color
such as is known on our spaniels of today,
neither that of the chestnut grown lark and
black with age, but simply the rich, pure
red of the chestnut as found when it comes
with a gloss and a glow fresh from the BURR.
1t is this shade of red which is the perfection
of color in the Irish setter, and which varies
with every flash of light, from the hue of a
golden red to the deeper tinge of rich ma
hogany-a blood red, and no amount of
argument can change the fact.
Most of our crack bench show winners are
field dogs of known merit, while many of
them are winners in field trial competition.
Tho first dog of any breed in America to sire
a champion winner upon the bench and a
champion winner in the field WAS an Irish
setter, and the blood breeds are forming a
list of bench show and field trial winners
that will cause the nam of Elcho to be re-
membered long after the present generation
has passed away. He was the sire of the IA
nous Joe, Jr., who defeated the great Glad
stone every time they ever met in single
contest, and who was never defeated in sin
gle trial by any dog of any breed. He was

cords reveals Two wonderful performances,
viz, running 100 yards in ~ seconds and
clearing 2S feet 2I5 inches in a running broad
jump. Both of these were accomplished on
the same afternoon, which puts Schifferstein
in the ranks of the foremost sprinters
and jumpers of the world. AS to his
amateur standing, there is a great deal of
discussion. He has been charged with com.
peting with H. Bethune, the celebrated pro-
f~essionnl sprinter, in a 100 yards race. This
charge ought not to be noticed, for although
he ran with this professional, it was in no
sense a competition, for he merely coached
Bethune in the attempt of the latter to lower
n record. Another charge is that he has re-
signed his usine position to train for ath-
letics, and that the Olympic Athletic club,
OF San Francisco, pays him a salary to repre-
sent them in competition This, If true, would
dlsqualify him as an amateur, but the charge
has not been substantiated, and until 1t is al
who have the best interests of amateur ath-
letics at heart will be glad to have Schifrer-
stein compete. MALCOLM W. FURp.

At last lacrosse has taken a decided step
forward, says Outing. The action of the
National association, which convened in New
York, must bo applauded by all who nave
the welfare Of the sport at heart. While
cricket clubs were perfecting their organiza-
tions, and lovers of tennis did all in their
powerto improve the game, lacrosse men
everywhere grumbled and felt dissatisfied
that their game should not progress along
with the others. Now there is every pros
pect of a vigorous struggle for honors among
the different clubs
The division of the old association into two
leagues, with Pittsburg as the limit, has at
last been determined upon. 1t was only a
question of time. The rapid spread of la
crosse in the western states necessitated the

Bawn and Her Record.
The Irish setter is without doubt one of the
Oldest of the setter breeds, and a descendant
of the brown or liver colored setting spaniel
of four centuries ago. He has been zealously
guarded in certain Irish families for genera
tions, and there is today no breed with
stronger characteristics or that preserves its
characteristics better when transported to
other countries. An Irish setter is an Irish
setter the world over, and for endurance,
speed, intelligence, pluck and nose has no
superior. He is ever ready for his work, free
and open hearted in his ways, and has the

with which he remained throughout the sea-
son. In 1885 he signed with the Augusta
club, of the Southern league, and made as
fine a record as any catcher in that league
for the season. In 1885 he was induced to
sign with the Metropolitan club, of the
American association, and be remained with
it W seasons. 1t was while with the old
Nets that Donohue first attained reputation.
He was then the catcher for Ed Cush-
man, the left handed twirler. Donohue
was transferred to Brooklyn when that club
purchased the Metropolitan club, franchise,
players and all. The Brooklyns had more
catchers than they could use, and therefore
transferred Donohue, with several others, to
the Kansas City club, with which he now is.
Donohue is a fine catcher in every sense of
the word. When he is behind the bat, says
II Clipper, his throwing to bases has been
one of the noteworthy features of the teams
work. He is also a good batsman and a fair
base unner. Donohue has the credit of be-
ing a plucky, every day catcher, as he can
face any and all kinds of pitchers with equal
success. He is a young man yet, and prom
ises to become one of the leading players of
the profession.

the time as though this lady would retain
her supremacy. She held the championship
for two years, when Miss Bingley now Mrs.
HiIlyard) appeared upon the scene with her
hard drive. In 1885, at the Northern meet
ing, appeared a very young lady, just IA
years of age, who played an excellent match
with Miss Maud Watson for the Northern
championship, each of the two sets played
being advantage sets GO, TO. This was
Miss L. bod.
In 1887 Miss bod defeated Miss Watson for
the Irish championship, once more for the
west of England championship, won the
northern championship from her, and
wound up by winning the championship.
Miss bod has defeated all the best lady
players.
The foundation of Miss Dod's phenomenal
play lies in the possession Of a perfect fore
hand drive, a direct upward stroke without
side twist, which, If it does anything beyond
propelling the ball at a great pace, puts a for
ward top spin upon it which has the effect of
causing it to keep low on coming in contact
with the ground. 1 verify believe Miss bod
to possess absolutely the most perfect drive
of any living player, male or female. No
one who had not seen it would believe the
pace at which, at times, the ball crosses the
net without losing a particle of accuracy or
travelling more than six inches above the net
cord. This stroke forms a tremendous at
tack, which soon puts a female opponent
seriously on the defensive. 1t is partly the
outcome of practice, of course, but many
young ladies have similar opportunities, and
yet do not develop the same perfection.
Miss bod is one of the few lady players who
ventures up to the net in a single; but her
yolleying is very sure, and executed with
great judgment.-London Times.

Another Parliamentary Election on the
Tapis-Boulanger at 1t Again.
LONDON, June g. - Soon we will be
plunged in another parliamentary election
war, and Tory and Liberal will vie with
each other in scheming and recrimination
The field of the contest is Ayr, Scotland,
district recently made vacant. The nom-
nations are fixed to take place next Fri
day and the election will occur on the
Friday following. Captain Sohn Sin Clair
is the Liberal who will be nominated. He
was beaten in this same district at the last
election, but his friends hope to
be able to carry the seat this
year, as somewhat stronger tide
has set in in favor OF the Gladstonians.
A large Liberal meeting, as sort of pre-
liminary gauge OF the coming battle, was
held at the town hall last night in Ayr.
The contest turns on the two questions
uppermost at present-home rule and the
compensation clauses. 1t will be hard
fight. Mr.. Evelyn Ashley is the UniOnist
candidate, and with the Southampton de-
feat fresh in their minds, the Tory and
Unionist forces will work hard to prevent
a repetition Of that unfortunate occurrence.

journals, comment upon Gen. Boulanger's

able strain, says, that although Boulan-
gers programme is meagre and does not
promise much, Boulanger himself, with his
courage and sangfroid in the midst of tur-
moil and angry criticism, spoke well for
him. His enemies were angry and excited,
and, Judging from their feminine fury,
were afraid of him or what he might do;
but the General emerged from the scene
with dignity and unruffied temper. He
has shown that he possesses some qualities
that are useful 10 one who rules men, if he
has proven to be great statesman.
The majority OF the English press, in

anger or assert that his effort has killed the
movement in his favor. Last night Mr..
Whistler was defeated for reelection as
President of the royal society Of British
artists, and in u tit of anger and disappoint-
