The judges selected had to do their dutv single-handed, and Ihe 

 classes were divided us follows : — Mastiffs, HI. Ileruards, N'uwfound- 

 lands, Siberian or I'lm dogs and deciiionnds. Mr. Paul Dana, of 

 New York l.'ity; grev bounds, black and tan sellers, foxhounds and 

 miscellaueous class. Hon. John 8. \Mse, Hichmond, Va. ; pointers, 

 Mr. S. T. Hammond, Spriuglkld. Maad.: champion, imported and 

 native English setters, Irish setters and beagles, Major J, M. Tav- 

 lor, or Lexington, Ky.: spaniels (all classesl. dachshunds, fn'x- 

 terriers, collies, bulldogs, bull terriers, Bkye terriers, pugs, rou-h- 

 haired terri-rs. black and tan terriers, jiaudio Dinmont terriers, 

 Irish terriers, Yorksliire toys, King Charles or Blenheim spaniels, 

 humiic-e spaniels and Italian grevhonnds, Dr. J. S. Nin-n. 

 London, Ontario. 



The clnb management was in the hands or the following mem- 

 bers who acted as stewards : Messis. Elliot Sniilh, J. Coleman 

 Diavlon, George DeForeat Qianl aud l.onisB. Wm,;1iL 



On both sides of (he building there were loug lines of booths, 

 which offered ihe vi-itor everything from a cake of dog soap to n 

 Htu ITed rhinoceros. 



As we made our remarks m Inst issue concerning the classes of 

 mastiffs, SI, Deinards. Newfoundlands, Siberian, Uoerhonuds, 



Irish water spa Is, lield spaniels, cocker spaniels and fox terriers 



there is no necessity of again referring to these classes. We failed 

 to mention ui our notes regarding cocker- that Mr. ( hoe. I'- 

 Kent's Wildair arrived too late al the short and, therefore, was not 

 judged in his class. 



In addition to regular entries, Mr. Henry Lacy, Manclu-L-r. Eng- 

 land, cut. ri ■ I eight dogs for exhibition -namely, Shot, a liver and 

 white cooker spaniel; bred by Mr. Parkinson ; Hock, a blue and 

 fawn Air-dale terrier : Carlos, a black and while pointer : Duke, a 

 lemon and white Blenheim .panml ; .lack, a rougli-hnircd Amd-dc 

 terrier ■. Madge, a liver and white pointer bitch ; She]., a Scotch 

 eolbv, and Vic, a brown and white pointer bitch. As we have al- 

 ready, iu a late issue, given in detail the entries of the only other 

 English exhibitor. Mr. C. II. Mason, and referred to each" in Ihe 

 proper place, il is unnecessary to say that the lot from across the 

 Water are good ones. 



Hilling Friday afternoon the prizes were distributed, and at 3 p. 

 oning the prizo winners were paraded in ono of

On Friday evening, afler Ihe doors of the show were closed, the 

 Westminster Kennel Club bold its annual dinner at Ihe Hotel 

 nruuswick. About lirtv member.-, and th-ir guests sat down to 

 table, over which Mr." H. Waller Webb presided. Toiusts were 

 offered aud responded to by the judges present -Messrs. Wi.-e. 

 Nneiis and Hammond Major Taylor and Mr. Dana being als-ent. 

 The superintendent, Mr. Lincoln, also came in for bis share of the 

 ovation, as did Ihe representatives «f the sporting and daily pics. 

 Mr. ( has. II. ILivinond answered to the toast " Lavcr.ick ..(iters of 

 America," and Mr, John 0. Higxins to " Breeders of America," 

 I ! - toasl to the " Eastern lield Trials Club " was replied to bv 

 Mr. J. 0. Douiicr. The sitting was a long one, and the patty did 

 not leave tin' good cheer until the *' early coo/.: had twice done 

 salutation to the morn." 



Wi:.sT3iiNsiT.it Kkn.nkl Ci til's I'lUNiEits.— The club itself en- 

 tered eight of I heir cracks, and. as usual, thev were uol for com- 

 petition. The lint of seven was as follows ; Sensutidh i Jim-Nina), 

 90 well knowfl as a winner on the bench and of third at Eastern 

 Held Trials, 1880 ; Polly, the recently imported lemon and white 

 bitch out of Snmmerson's Nance by champion Shut ; Whiskey 

 (Flash-.Tunol, black and white, in whelp to Sensation : Daisy, ll, L- 

 charming lemon and white bitch by Flake out of Lilly, in whelp to 

 Sensation— this bitch has a model head of her kind, denoting 

 powor, but entirely free from coarseness, with a grand muzzle ; 

 Celtic, black and white bitch by (.'a! out of Munn's P.-vcho ; Mac, 

 liver and white, bv Sabin's Trump out of Tuft's Bess, and Que«n 

 May i .Native -Fan), black and ulnle licked. 



On Wednesday morning Mr. S. T. Hammond, commenced on his 

 cla-.- in the east ring, and he found i„, easy task cut out for him. 



CiuainoN PoTNTERS, Liiioii Si/.k.— In the dog class, whioh con- 

 tained live entries, the absence of the St. Louis Kenucl Club's 

 Faust, How and York, brought together Mr. Wilks' lemon aud 

 ■let, iiau.i. (Sensation V'svchei and Mr. Moore's liver aud white 

 Lai, jo tCarthV Old Drake Grceftu Bend). The former was cou- 

 juiv'd into the Champion ranks at lost year's show, and Banjo join- 

 ed the band al I'lllsinu-gh iu January. Tr.imp secured tin money, 

 although ho curries an exaggerated "head, and is too long and wc:ik 

 in the loins. We preferred Banjo, a belter dog, with a fine eye 

 and intelligent Lice, but throaty : still neither are up to tho stand- 

 ard ol champions, aud there were several dogs in tho open lot 

 more worthy or He class. Five entries also marked the bitch class 

 in which Mr. Barker's superb black Princess (Dilley's Ranger- 

 Fan; had an easy walkover. She is truly a magnificent animal, 

 wilh a typical head, be.antirul solt eyes, Splendid coal, a well- 

 shaped body supported bv grand legs." and one of the finest tails 

 we ever saw wag on anv'dog. Mr. White's Grace, tho dam of 

 Mr. ill-Tory's Belle, was among (.he lot. 



Pointers, I.au..i, Sizk.— Six aud twenty poiuters, all iu a row, 

 cmupi ised this uiiusiiallv line class. Indeed, no have novcr seen 

 a holler !..| in the ring together. Mr. Hammond was all but five 

 minutes of two horn's in making up his mind, and then he nave 

 iiivi lo Mr. Hobert's llapp (Don Blossom) a remarkable fino liver 

 and white ticked dog. winner of 3d, 1878, under Mr. Lort ; 2d, 

 1870. under Messrs. Davidson, Colbnrn aud Wise, and not exhibit- 

 ed iu 1880. His return to the magic circle, aud to come out on 

 lop in such a class muot be a matter of congratulation to his own- 

 er. Mr. Moore's dark liver and white Guess iStart Maud I secured 

 secondhand Mr. GodefTroy's Croxteth, liver and white i Hang- 

 Jane), third. It was a close thing botwoon the trio, but we fan- 

 cied Yroxtetb, although he was shown too line. He-has a very

Zoo second and Mr. "Meyer's lemon and white Snowiluk- (Glen-

for first choice, she has a really magnuieeiif head, even siinerior to 



that of Princess, an inielhgehi i-.v,.. grand coal, but poor feet, and 



is said to be a good lield dog. Snownake, a nice bitch, we would 



have placed second, and Water Lily, who has a badly proportioned 



head, but otherwise a good one, third. Gypsuy deservedly got 



very high mention. 



Cuami'ion Pointhks, Small Sizp. —This was a capital class of 

 five entries. Mr. Org ill' a old standby Hush (Flake -Lilly), added 

 another blue ribbon to bis large collection. Mr. Moore's Donald 

 was shown in magnificent form, aud undoubtedly is the best liver 

 and white dog of his eizo in America. Mr. Wright's hvor aud 

 white Dick (Colonel- Fly), was also benched in fine condition: ho 

 is a rattling good dog, with grand head and bodv, and is a superior 

 animal. Iu the bitches eleven e, dries were made, but only lour of 

 them were presented. Mr. Urgill again won with his lemon- and 

 white Hue (Suapshot-Huhy), who was shown, as all her owner's 

 dogs always are. in lit condition, she i- a most deserving little 

 bitch. The St. Louis Koimel Club's entry, Clylie, was absent, and 

 five of Mr. Orgill's entries Kill, Jliot. liowett, liandom mid 

 Itoyster— were on exhibition onlv. Mr. Moore's Lady Itomp 1 1. was 

 justly admired, as she is a reiiiai kabl\ haud-ome bitch. 



l'oiNTKKS, SMALL Size were a very line lot, and twenty-one 

 entries made up the. dog class. I.e Guy. liver and white (Cham- 

 pion Baug-Junol, the property of Mr. Moore, took lirst. Chan- 

 cellor (Huko Duchess), a liver aud while F.nglish winner, belonging 

 to Mr, Mason, camo in for second, which, we think, belonged to 

 Mr. Orgill's lemon and white lb, well (Snapshot ■liulivl, who took 

 third, and we would havo transposed I in.se two. llcwoll is cxcel- 

 lenlly put together, a vonngster of line form, powerful body, being 

 well muBcled, has a good head, an intelligent eve and shows his 

 breeding at a glance. It was a hot class, and Baronet, l.'ob White 

 and Match crowded the winners. Tom de-ci ved more than a h. c • 

 he was shown lo line condition, and we liked him heller tho mere 

 we saw of Lini. Dash is a nice dog, wilh a head like his siru ; de- 

 served all he got. The improvement iu the class, as a whole, can- 

 not he loo highly spoken of. Tweuty-eigld entries were in the 

 bitch class, and thev, tco. were a l'aie lot. llr. Orgill's kennel 

 again won, with Ithona. lemon and white , snapshot L.- . I 

 Dull'eiii,, l-iuou and white (Qruden's Dash flowsotfs Fan), se- 

 cured second, and Mr. Heckshcr has a tin,, hitch in her. Mr. 

 Lamb's lemon and while Flirt <Grapcsb....i Kil ,. Ihml. Mr. DxaJ- 

 ton's Bonnie Kate, unnoticed on account of being over sine, we 

 liked immensely, considering her one of tho best bitches in the 

 show. I.ill, well worths- of her v. h. c. as was ( irogorv's Bell, the 

 wiuner of lirst in Nurserv Stakes last vear at Bobm s Island. Mr. 

 Roach's Queerj II. received no mark, although she deserved to be 

 highly c immended ; she has a good head, grand bodv. but is 

 deficient in stern. 



I'oimii: POTTIES. The dog class had nine entries, and the 

 youngsters were only a fair lot. Tin redout, I ihle Mr. Orgill again 

 took Brat, with a seven months' old lemon aud white Booket Cly- 

 mont Whelp, oalled Bap. I'aul, a large lemqn and White ticked

On Tuesday morning Major.!. M. Taylor. Lexington. Kv.. ...iii-

 throughout showed greal care and trouble in making his decisions. 

 Every dog came under his notice, a- indeed did all the dugs,
