RULES FOR BENCH SHOWS. 



TO induce numerous entries of sporting and oilier dogs 

 for exhibition at Bench Shows, which we trust will 

 be held under the auspices of our leading Sportsmen's 

 Associations during the remaining Winter months, we sug- 

 gest the following arrangement Of classes and awards as 

 calculated to interest the owners of finely bred stock, and 

 to bring about a liberal display. We have never yet seen a 

 plan of awards for Bench Shows in America. We have 

 lately heard of a movement on the part of a. number of 

 men in one of our cities to organize a Kennel Club 

 with the intention of holding a Bench Show every year. 

 We trust they will succeed in the enterprise, as such societies 

 would be of great benefit in improving our stock of dogs 

 in America: —

 old and upwards, say Silver Cup.

Pedigrees.— A? much as we value Pedigrees, and anxious 

 as we are to oblige our friends, we must decline hereafter 

 to publish them when they cover much space. A glance 

 at this page to-day, will satisfy any fair minded person of 

 the reasonableness of our determination. We have not the 

 space to spare, and to the eye of good typographical taste 

 they disfigure the pages. 



Anotiieb Fine Dog.— Mr. Smith, of Canada, known to 

 sporting papers by the nom deplume of "Dog Whip," has 

 purchased of R. L. Purccll Llewellyn, Esq., his field trial 

 setter dog Leicester. Leicester is sire of Dog Whip's puppy 

 Paris, also Mr. P. II. Bupon's Maude, out of Dog Whip's 

 Dart. Leicester took first prize at Glasgow dog show and 

 second Wolverhampton; lie is own brother to Leda and 

 Laura The latter bitch beat the champion Ranger at the 

 Sleaford field trials last Fall. Mr. Llewellyn lias bred Ruby 

 and Nellie to Leicester with success, thus showing him to 

 be a flrgt class animal.
