has from the misty past been as
sociated with the pursuit of escaped

for many of the absurd ideas entertained
of this breed. Without a doubt many
were sadly disappointed during the

the bloodhounds failed entirely to afford
even the slightest hid to the discovery Of
Jack the Ripper. Edwin Broueh, the

1t is asserted that it has reached the age Of

eye that would he a deformity in any

Grcat Dane, and adds to his striking app

passed under many names other than
those enumerated at the opening of this
Article, and which might have been fairly
applied before the uniication Of the
breed had p ssed its present state.
The Irish wolfhound 10 generally be-

that tho breed in its original integrity is

q crowded city. In some bloodhound
trials held in the old country dogs have
displayed their ability to follow @the clean
boot" in q marvellous manner, md again
have lost the trail at the first obstacle or
turned aside to follow the trail of a stran-
ger. Nevertheless, the value of his power
of scent must not be undcrestimated
though he fails to accomplish feats he
should never have been asked to under-
take. The bloodhound is not q popular
dog. and no packs of the breed are kept
in the country where he orieinated-Eng-
land-but packs are still maintained in
connection with the prison camps of some
Of the Southern States, where they are
used in the pursuit of escaping prisoners,
but it is hardly probable they are pure
bred dogs. He is of no p~articularuse in the
present day, anyway, and beyond his oc-
casional value as a house guard may be
placed in the category Of ornamental
rather than of useful dogs. His DISPOSE
ton is uncertain, and. though much of
that depends on early training, his size
gerous when bad-tempered. A good idea
of the breed may be obtained from the
accompanying picture of Barnaby. A
fair specimen stands about twenty-eight
inches high and weighs about 1O0pounds,
SO that he is not MS big as the Dane, the
st. Bernard, or the mastitf. The proper
coloring is n reddish tan, with q black
saddle, the latter marking believed to
show the blood of the ancient st. Hubert
hounds. His high, peaked skull is COW
cred with thin, loose skin, and his small
eyes show the haw or inside red eyelid,
while the flows of the upper jaw are
pendulous and extending below the lower
jaw. His noble proportions and grand
head make him an imposing animal.
Bearing the names Of boarhound, tiger
dog. Dane, Ulm dog, German mastiff, and
other a%ppellations Is q dog that has had
us much variety in titles as the blood
hound has had in characteristics. What
ever their origin and distinctions, there
is now o general tendency to solidify all
the varieties into one class under the
name Of the German mastiff or Great
Dane, the latter being now the moro com-
mon, though the American organization
formed with o view to improving the
breed and advancing its interests with

The wolfdog, with the harp and sham
