 events necessary for the information and guidance of breed- 

 ers, exhibitors and owners of all breeds of dogs. 



Its leading feature is the "Pedigree Register" of sporting 

 and non-sporting dogs, which makes it the only complete Stud 

 Book issued in America. A register number is given to each 

 dog, and anindex will be compiled at the close of the annual 

 volume, thus making it a complete work of reference. The 

 pedigree, registration fee is twenty-five cents, 



Departments are also provided for the registration of stud 

 visits, dogs at stud, births, sales and transfers, dogs for sale, 

 and deaths. 



Prize lists of all the American shows will be given, with de- 

 scriptions of the principal winners and dogs exhibited; also 

 prize lists of important shows abroad. This department will 

 include field trials. 



Space will be devoted to all matters of importance to breed- 

 ers and those interested in dogs, the object being to render the 

 Anierietm Ketiitejilegistcr a complete record of the topics of 

 thte day. 



The Begtstitr will be published on the fifth (lay o] each 

 month. All matter intended for publication must he in the 

 hands of its editor by the first day of the mouth. 



The initial number, however, will he published April 10,

THE GORDON STANDARD, 

 Editor Forest ami. Stream! 



As it is all important for lovers of the Cordon setter bo have 



the standard alike throughout the laud. 1 would trambly aug 

 gesfc that the kennel clubs in the Briltefi Isles, Caj aanl 



here appoint commissioners Co thoroughly disci.- tie- sue 



mill settle upon a standard for all the clubs. Now. "Stow 



hedge" has one standard and the Htlsburgli CluL is twins 

 another, and the PhUttdelpia K.-miel Club are talking about 

 adopting stall another, which menus confusion that will ruin 

 this grand breed of dogs. 



I wish Dr. J. S. Niven would let us hear from him again, as 

 1 believe- he deserves the credit of (ii->st publicly advocating a 

 change in the standard. He appreciates the differs! be- 

 tween •'light-made Cordons" and "light-weight I, el i. 

 but some of our friends, ns well as ilie enemies of the Cordon 

 setter, who, having nothing l>n; light-weii-hi black and tan 

 Betters, seem deaf to i)r. Niven 's md mv own explanations 

 in regard to the possil.il i! \ of -i -i.o v-|.. .n"i..l dug Lei tig as racy 

 and lieaiHil'ulm form as a dog Weighing fort V -live pounds. "1 

 suppose these pony black and tail iimii upon the same lirio 

 ciple claim lli.-if all large pointers of the present day have 

 lumber, and that the English thoroughbred running horse is 

 logy in comparison with the small Arabian horse. "We must 

 admit that this is child's talk. 



It is certainly advisable for any kennel club that, has fallen 

 into such an error as to adopt a standard for the. Cordon set- 

 ter dog that will permit a, dog perfect in form to be ruled out 

 because he is large, to pause and reconsider its action. It, is a 

 verv easy matter to lire: -1 uiid.-r-.-Jxeil animals almost per- 

 fect in form, but a difficult task to produce a large, fully de- 

 veloped animal perfect in form. It must be admitted that 

 perfect form with full siz- is fur preferable to a small or un- 

 der-sized animal, ami that all breeder, -hould '--o encouraged to 

 breed full-sized animals. In a I lordon standard we must re- 

 tain the Cordon characterising a- tamiht us by our fellow- 

 sportsmen of the British Isles where the Cordon 'setter is be- 

 lieved to have originated, otiierwi.se we must not call our 

 standard a Cordon standard, but n Pittsburgh or a John 

 Smith standard, In forming a new standard we must have 

 the true Gordon setter characteristics in our mind's eye. 



I again earnest ly request Dr. Niven to let us hear his vieWB 

 I- subject in question. Sa:,h.'ki, C. Dixon. 



FOREIC4N ARRIVALS.— On Saturday last this State of 

 Nevada arrived frum Lame, having on board Mr. William 

 Graham, of Belfast. Ireland, who has come over to visit Pitts- 

 burgh and New York shows. Mr. Graham brought withhirn 

 nine dogs, for himself and others, and they arc "the best lot 

 we have seen arrive at one time for many a day. They had 

 experienced a very rough passage, and owing to having to 

 use condensed water In consequence of the water tanks get- 

 ting out, of order, all the dogs as well as the passengers suf- 

 fered severely from diarrhoea. The natural resuH wasthat 

 they fell away in flesh woefully, but when they reached New 

 York one and all had ravenous appetites, BO they vvill soon Be 

 in form again, Mr. Graham's own mastiff dog. champion 

 Nevison, is a grand dog. as may be supposed. When he. has 

 won thirty-two prizes and etips in England. The mastiff 

 bitch Dolly Varden, one of the wonderful Crown Prince lit- 

 ter, is another good one. Mr. Smith's St. Bernard champion 

 Bom'vard was so much out of shape that it would be unfair 

 to criticise him. The same may be said of Mr. Mercier's col- 

 lies, Talisman and a bitch, unci of Mr. 1 Inner' s bulldog Romu- 

 lus. There was a rare-shaped hull-terrier bitch. Scarlet II., 

 brought over to till an order, and Mr. Graham's Irish terrier 

 dog Garrvowen is one of the right sort, with that peculiar 

 filed wire fee! to the coat so much desired in this game breed 

 of terriers. The ninth on the list was a large-framed young 

 rough-coated Si I'.ernard bitch for Mr. Benson, of New 'York. 

 She is of Al pedigree, and was bred to Boatyard "off the 

 Banks of Newfoundland,'' according to Mr. Graham's diary. 

 The dogs, as may be seen by advertisement, will be at the 

 service of breeders while they remain in this country, atid 

 Mr. Graham may be addressed to the care of this office.

THE HOMING FACCLTY.-An Oswego, N. Y., corre- 

 spond. -in -end- us the following, taken from the Pust of that 

 eit v : Seven months ago John Stoddard bought a spaniel dog 

 throe years old oi .- izen, and immediately after- 



ward sold him to a man in Syracuse, audseut him to that city 

 by express. Last, week the lirst owner of the dog was in 

 Syracuse and saw the dog for the lirst time in seven months. 

 The dog instantly recognized him, and followed him to the 

 depot as he was going away, but was shut back as the man 

 passed through tiie depot into the cars. On Saturday, how- 

 ever, to the man's astonishment, the dog reappeared, at his 

 old home. Alter meeting his old master be must have be- 

 come homesick, and by uieaus of the unaccountable instinct 

 •which some animals show a* to direction and distance, came 

 all the thirty-five miles from Syracuse to Oswego. He had 

 never traversed the route before except on an express car. 



COOKED PEDIGREES.— There is a decided need of a 



are ignorant of the qualifications which I heir favorites should 

 possess. They consequently are entirely at the mercy of the 

 too often unscrupulous dealer, who foists upon them a prom- 

 ising youngster with the assurance thai; it is bv "King out of 

 Queen," and sure to develop into one of the most wonderful 

 animals in the country. This prediction is often fulfilled, but. 

 alas for the disconsolate owner, the wonderful characteristics 

 developed are only wonderful when seen in so purely bred an 

 animal as this was represented to be. The. American Kennel 

 h'ecfister proposes, with the good help of the. honest breeder 

 and dealer, as well as the owner, to render it impossible for 

 the manufacturer of false or crooked pedigrees to thrive at 

 his nefarious trade. 



THE PITTSBURGH SHOW.— Pittsburgh, Pa.. March 87.- 

 i'lie prospects for a good show are most promising. Mr. Lin- 

 coln and his clerk are busy from morning until night receiving 

 blanks from the. many local exhibitors. The entries in the 

 non-sporting classes are magnificent, and we have thirteen 

 entries of the English mastiff, all first-class specimens. The 

 exhibit of St. Bernards will be much better than that, of last 

 year, although not very large. Three entries of Great Danes 

 have been made in the miscellaneous, and this class also 



promises to b& very interesting.— E. P. H. 



RUBINS ISLAND CLUB.— The officers for the i 

 year are: President,, William B. Kendall; Vice-President, S. 

 Fleet Speir, M. ]).; Secretary and Treasurer, Albert T. Pluin- 

 mer. It has been decided that the next annual held trials of 

 the (dub will be. held November riO. Entries wflldose Sep- 

 tember 1. Members will be required to handle their own 

 dogs in the trials. A bill has been introduced at Albany and 

 has passed the Senate, permitting the killing of quail On 

 Robins Island, between October 15 and February 1. 



DISTEMPER EPIDEMIC. -Merideu, Conn.— Sditor Forest 

 Wild Stream: The distemper is raging here and making sad 

 havoc. Three of the dogs that, were in the show— prize, ones 

 at that— have died, and a great many are sick, it is said that 

 there was one in the show with distemper. The committee 

 must have made a mistake in admitting him.— J W. Stetson.
