 was tint one bitch in the champion das-, l.ad'v I'lar.-. She 

 was in splendid I'.. c.n. and it would have taken aver, good

brilliant one. although there were some good ones. Snap, who 

 won first, was in very good condition. He is „. good dog for 

 his age, anil will lie still better when mature. Brown, who 

 was given second, we do not like, he is not of the Irish t j pe. 

 He i- a w.-M-made dog and was well shown, but he is too/ low 

 and sturdy for an Irish dog, and should not have been noticed. 

 Triumph, who was vie,, we. liked for second place. He is a 

 good-looking animal, although he was not in good condition. 

 Owing to the carelessness of one of the attendants he was left 

 in hi- box, and was n..i discovered until the class had been 

 judged; when found, he was brought out and the class re- 

 judged. Fred and Klcho IV. (Mrs. Keller s) but h deserved the

COIXTKRS. 



Tho pointers were a verv good lot all through except the 

 puppies. In tlie champion dog class Sensation, who was on 

 exhibition only, showed in good form, looking nearly as well 

 as we ever saw him. He attracted a great deal of at tent i. ,n 

 and was much admired. Shot, also on exhibit .ion. i- quite a 

 nice little dog. Donald and La Guy were looking finely, but 

 did not compel,-. Bravo and Knickerbocker were the only 

 ones in face the judge. Bravo was in splendid condition and 

 easily captured the prize ten. Knickerbocker, who was not 

 in good form. In the bitch class only two were in. Dutchess 

 .ml blooming condition, and l.ad'v 

 cat, were lioth withdrawn, leaving 



only Water Lilly and Comotne to contest for the honors ft 

 was a close I hing between them. Water Lilly « as given the 

 blue. She was in better condition than her rival, although a 

 trifle too fat. Comorne was fully her equal except in 

 condition. The open dog elnss brought out iu Beaufort one 

 of the best dogs that we have seen for a long time. He 

 is good enough for any company, aud easily captured first. 

 Tally-ho, who won second at New York last year, was given 

 the same place here, which he well deserved. Willi tlie ex- 

 ception ot being atrillelight iu bone he is a very good one- 

 Mock, who was vhc. we do not like. We greatly preferred 

 Match for the place. He is a capital little dog aud was in 

 beautiful condition, but had to be content, with a single let- 

 ter. Hampton was also vhc. Although of the old-fashioned 

 type, we liked him much. He looks very gamy and without 

 doubt is a workman. Hunter, the only he, is a fair-looking 

 animal. In the bitch class Belle was much the best. She 

 was in better condition tha n we ever saw her, and easily cap- 

 tured the prize. Gertrude, who was second, is also a very 

 nice animal and was well shown. Two Beautvs were given 

 vhc Both were very fair animals. We liked Finn's entry 

 the best. Bess was better than either, and should have had 

 the place, although she was unnoticed. Nellie, the only he 

 is a very fair animal, but. no better than either Kate, quite a 

 pretty one, or Clymont, who is very smaU but a u ell-made 

 one. The puppies were a poor lot, except the small ones, 

 which looked well, but as thev were but six weeks old no cor- 

 rect opinion of their merits could be given. 



Sf A NIELS. 



There were no entries iu the Irish water spaniel class. In 

 the champion class for tield spaniels, any color, over twent v- 

 eight pounds, Benedict w—

 ■n. but Benedict is much the 

 s^dogs and bitches— Hornell

 rhen at New York last year, 

 d over Hornell Baroness the 

 f received an he. We thought 

 jagine that hor tan markings 

 ery good one notwithstanding, 

 jker spaniels, any color, under 

 twenty-eight pounds. Hornell Flirt If. had it all her own way- 

 She was given the prize, which she well deserved. In the 

 .pen class, other than black, under twenty-eight pounds 

 Oma, a v.-.-y good one, was the only one worthy of notice. She 

 v»- awarded first and the other prizes properly withheld. 

 I h.r- w.iv only three in the open class tor black cockers, 

 under twemy-eight pounds. Hornell Dandy was rightly 

 given first, and hi.- kennel companion, Dinah, second. There 

 was but ono puppy entered, a very good one indeed. She was 

 given the prize, and if she goes all right she will lie found well 

 to the front in the all-aged class if shown. 

 tfOXHOtJHDS. 

 Only two showed up, both good ones, but Gamester, who 

 came in first, was so far ahead of Gunner that tlie judge 

 forgot to give, him second, which he deserved, thus reversing 

 tho moral to the fable of "poor old Tray," who lost by being 

 in bad company. 



BEAGLES. 



The judge stated that he knew nothing about beagles, but 

 a- no ..... el-e would judge he would do the best he. could. 

 After examining the pack and comparing the animals with 

 the awards we have no hesitation in saying he knew what he 

 was talking about Punch, who was given first is a rattliug 

 good dog, but he is too large and leggy for a beagle. Saad, who 

 received second, is rather a good one, but too largo, she should 

 have been content with vhc. Maud S. fairlv deserved her vhc 

 although -he ts . mci- size. Myrtle, also vhc , should have been 

 better •dealt, by." He. was one of the best if not the best of the 

 lot. He is a trifle large, but all over a beagle. Bush, who 

 got only he., was also badly treated. She is a bit long in 

 body and a trifle deficient in bone, but iu all other respects 

 much the best one shown. She and Myrtle shonld have been 

 equal first with Lnlie P. second. Lulie is very well made 

 up, of good size aud fonn, her com is a bit coarse, but she ih 

 a very good one and entitled to more than the he sh. re 

 ceived. 



The olafls&r bench-legged beagles and bassets was wan 

 good. Dyke, who received first, and Major, who was vhc, 

 were both capital and shonld have been equal second. The 



tw " ,; 8, one -i ci. the other vhc, were. beautieB, and so 



nearly equal that they should have both been given vhc. 

 ■Iiid*. unnoticed, wh. ,v«s traii.-ferred from the beagle class. 

 was the best one all round of the lot. She was in splendid 

 condition, with capital head, body, legs and feet, and should 

 have been first. 



t'OX-TEltlllElts. 

 The fox-terrier classes, with the exception of the champions 

 and first prize winners, were not verv good. We thought 

 them well judged. Joker, in the champion dog class, jvas in 

 capital form and won easily. Curate thought different how- 

 ever, and went for him tooth and nail as soon as the decision 

 was announced. Warren Wakeful, who won first, both in the 

 bitch and puppy cias-.s, is a wonder for her age, ii months, 

 and il she does not grow to too large a Size, sh.- will be heard 

 from again. 



COLLIES. 



The show of collies was very good. In the champion doe 

 class Gmdo was first. He was in capital condition and wefi 

 deserved the ribbon. Marcus was not in good form. His 

 coat— his chief glory— was dead and ragged, and he should 



not haye been shown. Meg won easily in the bitch .!., as , ,ver 

 Lass o' Gowrie and Jersey Lass, two good ones. She was not

Th-rc were three in this cla-s: all good. Judv was given

 was capital.

were the best lot ever shown iu this country. In the dog 

 class Gentleman George, of course, i-apto-d the champion 

 medal, Roderick, his only competitor, resigning without a 

 struggle. George was in Hue fettle, and looked ware 

 than ever. He also won the special cup for the best 

 bibited by a lady. Efiie was the only entry in the ohaiDpli :. 

 bitch class; she is a capital little dog, and was well - 

 The open dog class was a very good one. We thought them 

 well placed, except that Tony, who was given he. should 

 have had another letter. The bitch class was not quite so 

 good. Many of them were shown too fat. The v were also 

 well judged. 



TOY TERRIERS 



were verv good and were deserving their ribbons. 



class 09 

 . was for King Charles. Blenheim ami Japanese spaniels. We 

 were so taken with Beauty that we must confess that we did 

 not pay much attention to the others. Beauty is much the 

 best Blenheim that we ever saw, and we doubt if there is one 

 as good in the country. For the benefit of admirers of this 

 rare breed and for the education of the public we hope that 

 Beauty will b.e shown at New York. 



MISCELLAXEOl S. OVKli --.'a I'or.Nl.s. 



This is generally a difficult class to judge, but there were 

 but two really good ones here, aud Witch easily captured 

 tirst. Although he is across between the Newfoundland and 

 St. Bernard, he would easily pass for the former, and a ■ o.od 

 one, too. Robert, an enormous fellow in height and length, 

 well deserved his second. Chico, a capital specimen of the 

 Mexican hairless, was by mistake entered in the heavy instead 

 of the light class; he was transferred to his proper class and 

 given an extra first prize, which he well deserved. Frank, 

 who won first in the fight weights, is a very nice animal 

 Hancock, who was placed second, is a very (air Esquimaux. 



SPECIALS. 



Some of the specials, of course, went with the awards in I h. 

 regular classes, but in main . a-.-s it was necessary that the 

 dogs should be brought before the fudge, There were seven 

 entries in class A, five of them only facing the judge. Mr.
