FOEEST AND STREAM. 



[Apku. 28, 1881, 



M:i> 



Major Taylor finished all the Knglish setter classes, ex- 

 cept the bitch puppies, and, as alrendy Btated, his duties were 

 admirably performed. 



English .Skttkks.- Leicester never looked better, and as 

 Mr. Moore males tins is bis lust evhihiiion, we were glad to 

 see (lie old dog retire a eimuipiiiii. St. Elmo was not looking 

 as be usually does, and Coin showed the effect of his 

 washing in the morning. Thunder was Leicester's most for- 

 midable rival. The struggle in the hitch class was between 

 Lizzie Lee and .Spark, decidedly the best fwo shown, and 

 Spark won— a close thing between them. 



The imported dog class was a very difficult one, a dozen 

 dogs, being- magnificent dogs. Finally Major Taylor gol 

 Dukeof Beaufort and Iviipei'iir Fred together, and muscle car- 

 ried the dog over beauty of conformation. We do not doubt 

 Emperor Kred's Ciaim, but he is not a dog of quality, com- 

 pared with the second or third. Pontine was in splendid 

 trim, and also Dashing Monarch, the hitter's coarseness keep- 

 ing him back Temple Bar looked as handsome as anything 

 in the ring, but a description of all the good ones is out of 

 the question. Mr. J. 0. LJiggihs won in the. hi ch class with 

 Tetrel 11, a sweet hitch But we sadly missed Mr. Moore's 

 pair— Luna May and Lass o' Gcrwrie, who had not come on 

 from the South. Daisy Laverack is slightly undersized or 

 she would have taken a little higher than third. Blue Bell 

 is a well-shaped hitch and was shown in excellent trim. 



Native dogs were a hard class to judge, but the 

 best were finally selected. I 'ount Zos. a good oue 

 for his age, was", we thought, a Utile better "than the 

 winner, who was- not looking well. Kaeket, at lliinl. whs a 

 good choice, and Mr. Goodsell's Royal Carle is a handsome 

 blue Helton. Blue Dan, a taking dog of the same color, was 

 equally well taken eare of. 



Taking the class of the noticed dogs it was as good as any- 

 thing seen before, and A.flon, second last year, was this time 

 only highly commended. The native bitch class was not .1 

 large, but it was a good one. Donna, the winner, is a bitch 

 of great merit, but if she had only been second it would have 

 been no hardship, as Flirt is a genuine good one, beautifully 

 proportioned. Maida. we regret to say, was an absentee. 

 Lady Laverack, like her sister Daisy," is small, but a eood 

 one. The dog puppies were not so good as we should have 

 expected, and" beyond lloyal Dale and Doc there was noth- 

 ing to call for any mention. The former was decidedly the 

 best, aud does credit to his dam, Daisy Dale. 



Dr. Niven began his work in the uftet noon with spaniels, 

 and got through them and fox terriers before six o'clock. 



Ikish Water Spaxiels. — Mike, a fine dog, won and de- 

 served his blue. Judy, the next best, taking second, and 

 Limerick, a credit to Barney, was given a very highly com- 

 mended mention. 



Field Spaniels. — A large class of various kinds. The 

 question was at last reduced to Dash and Benedict, both of 

 the Jacob's strain. Dash Was beaten by his younger relative. 

 Jenny, more of a cocker stamp, was placed third, and a 

 daughter o| hers, Jessie, secured v. h. e. 



CrioKEn Si\%viai.s.— The dogs were pretty fair; Brag, 

 decidedly the best, being first, with the liver and" White Teddy 

 .second, and the well known .Music third. Music is hardly a 

 working cocker. The hitches were not so good as dogs, and 

 there was nothing in the class as good as Queen Vic. Busy 

 was in bad condition or she would have won. Beatrice was 

 the only good puppy. 



Fox Tk'r. nuts. Dr. Nivcns began by selecting the chunky- 

 built Bowslring as the champion dog- a sound and justifiable 

 decision. Tipsey Was not of the same stamp, however, and 

 Mr. Butherford should have been first here also. The open 

 dog class was an extra good one, and Moslem II. had all be 

 could do to come in ahead pf Royal. Notts is a hardy dog 

 with not overmuch quality, and we do not think Tartar 

 should have been where he was. Mr. Mason was again in 

 front in the bitch class, and the decision was sound. Mr. 

 Butherford again hunting him home with the smart Salley 

 and Tricksey. Joker made up somewhat for disappoint- 

 ments by easily winning in the dog puppy class. He should 

 make a good one. The bitch puppies were very poor, win- 

 ner the best. 



The remainder of our comments will be concluded next 

 week.

 —an immense building aituated 

 SB portion of San Francisco, and 

 lipa-l elephant known as the New 

 City Hall, which has already cost this much-robbed village a cool 

 eight millions of dollars, and is one of tho most magnificent ruins 

 in America. A good idea of the size of the Pavilion iu which the 

 show was given can be formed from the fact that at a recent walk- 

 ing match held in it a track was laid one-fifth of a mile in circum- 

 ference. As the mam floor of the building aff -"led much more 

 apace than was needed for the accommodation of the dogs entered, 

 and to enable the spectators to get a good view of the entire show 



at oue time, several raise] tiers of seals >•,-■ re bull m J die mc,r 



in amphitheatre form enclosing a space Bf 88x188 feet, which was 

 devoted to tho benches, which were built in parallel vows along its 

 hill length with occasional passages ut right angles to them which 

 marksd the different classes of dogs. The Pavilion was la'? shly 

 and tastefully decorated with flags and streamers, hung from the 

 arclied roof which is about sixty feet from the floor. For the pur- 



pose of general arrangement, the dogs were divided into throe 

 classes, viz : 'Watch dogs including great Danes. St. Bernard's, 

 New t'oiitidlnnds, Mastiffs ami Rnsttiiiu ten iors ; sporting dogs in- 

 cluding all olasdOK of dogs used as an adjunct to shooting, and 

 toy-dogs including bull-dogs arid terriers, and nondescript dogs of 

 all kinds. The otlicors of tho show and judges were as follows: 

 President, Clem Dixon, of Cumberland, England: Secretary, 

 Colonel Stuart M. Taylor, of San Fraucisco ; Superintendent, 

 Thomas Tuustead. of San Francisco ; Vice-President, Dr. Jlenrs. 

 health officer of San Fraucisco ; Business Manager, XL R. Mc- 

 Neilo, late of F.dinborough. The judges were as fol- 

 lows: All spoiling degb except grevh.muds .1. Leaves- 

 ley, late nf Lancashire, England, at present reeling in Gilroy, 

 Greyhounds- -Judge. Mee, of Alameda. Terriers and toy-dogs 

 -P. Qiiinlan, Esq., of "San Fraucisco. Shepherd dogs— Thomas 

 Farley, Esq., of San Francisco. Coach-dogs— Captain J3. Harris, 

 of San Francisco. Newfoundlands, St, Ik-maid-., ic.i-titl's, Groat 

 Dimc-B or L'lm [logs and Russian terriers. T T. William-. I'lsii., late 

 of Hammersmith Gate, Loudon. Tho awards made by these 

 gentlemen gave tlie utmost satisfaction to all who could be con- 

 sidered judges of dogs, aud so popularized the Pacific Ooast .ken- 

 nel Club that anv future exhibitions they may give will be even 

 roater successes than this one was. The prize- consisted entirely 

 f handsome silver cup.- manufactured expressly for the club by 

 the aleinl.u Company and ranging in value from S12U for first 

 3 in the large classes to §25 for second prize in the small 

 es. The entrance fee for all dogs, including a -ra-.m ticket to 

 the show, was $3; and the general admission price, fifty cents. Tho 

 greyhoiuidH were .he largest and best class of dogs exhibited and 

 included some forty entries, all of which, with one exception, were 

 bred iu California. That exception was tho lirst prize winner, 

 Joseph Franklin's bl. d. Speculation, imo.-rti d from !.;. gland in 

 '^77 i sire, Baffler; dam, Memiss ; valued ate I, Dim. He is asueariy 

 perfect specimen of a greyhound as con Id bo found in any country, 

 and, though fully niue vears of age, is still available for stud pur- 

 poses. He is a large, upstanding, nhort-eoupled dog, with a splen- 

 did chest, powerful loins and perfect limbs, and in condition would 

 neigh about fit pounds. His get have gained aspleudid reputation 

 iu the coursing field here, no less than four of them taking prizes 

 at the last open meeting. The -eemid prize winner was J. F. Car- 

 roll's Paul Jones, bv imported Gentleman Jones ; dam. Crunch ; 

 her sire imported Spot : dam, Minetta. Paul is a smaller dog 

 than Speculation, and iu tho Held one of the fastest dogs ever 

 slipped, having onlvonco been led to his hure m thef.fteen courses 

 ho has run iu public. Branch took tho lirst prize for bitches, tho 

 sedorid going to Con Mnonev's black bitch Kilty Clov.r. by Thpm- 

 hiie out. lielk. Kittv has twice won fust prize in open mi clings 

 aud, besides having 'the honor of winning every eour-e .-In.- ever 

 ran,' is admitted by the best judges here to be the closest worker 

 and host killer in California, though her short, arched back and 

 narrow chest relegated her to a second place on the show bench. 

 the puppy prizus were won by Dr. Mearo's Monarch II. and Joseph 

 Franklin's Lady Franklin, both year-old pups by Monarch out Of 

 Branch ; Moua'rch by imported Speculation. The next, class in 

 number aud importance waa tho Laverack Betters, among which 

 Charles Miller's Sam took tirst prize and his Joe second. Both 

 dogs were extremely handsome— black and white dog„ without any 

 of the popular tan markings. Their pedigree goes bach to M.ll 

 and Ponto. Among tho Laverack bitches Tristam lturgeRS' Queen 

 Mab took first prize, as she richly deserved. Mftfc is a beautiful 

 black, whitu aud tan marked bitch bv Dan, d.mi. Nelly, owned by 

 R. Ll. P. Llowellin, of Ashby do la Zouch, England, and had pre- 

 viously taken the following prizes : 



Firs'l and champion. Chicago, lVJf. . lirst and champion, and 

 special for best brace with Druid, St. Louis, l-STS: also at I'etroit iu 

 IST'Jaud St. Louis in ls7:t. In addition Queen Mab lock the special

 ham's Grouse, black and white 1>t Dan out of Svbvl. Dan by L'.e- 

 wellin "s l'riueooutof Dora. 



The Iri-h sefb-rs were a line class, the lirst prize being won by 

 Calvert Meade's Dick bv Sport out of imported Belle. Dr, C. G. 

 Folnnd's Whiskey luok second. The exhibit ol lie]. 1 and water 

 spaniels was verypoorin guality with the e.vc.ption of the e beauti- 

 ful liver and white cockers shown by Ills. W. T. Ladd, and which 

 carried off all the prizes iu that class, being as neai'i.urfeetioijfiS is 

 ].os-ible to conceive. The Gerdou sotters were a very medium 

 class. Dr. Chismore's Dash, sire, Shot: .lam. Fanny; ! tog tirst. 

 and Johu Nowull's Kov sec, ml. Charles i.aoz.V Alyn ha by im- 

 ported .Monarch took first prize for Gordon bitchea. No prize was 

 awarded the nappies, as they were n.itiinP c... n .';,• mode, ate 



11, bloodhounds were wull represented, though J. A. Bauer's 

 black and tan dog. Sultan that was awarded first prize should 



have more properly been classed as a sleuth or trail In ! 



abloodhouud. J. F. Carroll's Wallace, first prize bull-b rriei . 

 a perfect specimen, aud would have been favorably mam. d m that 

 topmost altitudo of a bull-terrier's ambition -a lihmiugham 

 Bench Show. The bull-dogs, black and tan, DalmcU. 

 terriers, were simply a lot of mongrels, some of the latter repre- 

 senting everv strum of animal from a giraffe to a Norwegian rat. 



The English setters, which weic made a Ol&sj jeparate from the 

 Laverocks, were all lemon and white, and a fair to middling lot. 

 John De, Vault's Bill and Beauty took lirst for dogs aud bitches. 

 The so-called English retrievers were a lot of mongrel spaniels be- 

 nonth criticism. Tho winner being a miserable, lung -eared, niived- 

 coated little runt, weighing less than forty pounds aud looking for 

 all the world like a cross between a black poodle and 

 a Newfoundland. The fox-hounds were all crossed with 

 blood-hound or Spanish pointer blood, and though doubtless 

 possessing good noses, wero very ill-formed. As they are 

 entirely used in this country for tracking elk, deer or 

 bear, speed is not so much an object as it in in England, 

 where twelve miles au hour across country is not considered too 



fact. 



The boys here did get up a foxhunt on Coyote Creek about a 

 year ago, but the California, bronchos they rode behaved so badly 

 at the first gulch, which was only six feet wide, that they abandoned 

 that sport for the more congenial fun of lassooing cattle. The 

 only i nirv in the mastiff class had a pedigree that announced bis 

 descent from champion Turk, but if Nichols or Miss Aglbmbyc lived
