THE CHESAPEAKE BAY DOG. 371 toward spring it becomes lighter by exposure to weather. A small white spot or frill on the breast is admissible. Color is important, as the dog in most cases is apt to be outside the blind, consequently too dark is objectionable, the deep liver of the Spaniel making much greater contrast, there- fore it is to be avoided. The ibeiglit of dogs should be sixty to seventy pounds, and of bitches, forty-live to tifty-five pounds. The height should be about that of a medium-sized Setter, but heavier in body and shorter in legs. The foregoing descriptive list and scale of points was drafted by a committee appointed by the American Ken- nel Club, in the winter of 1884-85, for judging these dogs. While I do not agree with the committee in some few minor points, in general the list and scale are safe ones to follow. •.
