of Ids worth. London was very well shown. He is not quite 

 good enough to compete on the bench witjhtUe animals usually

 out the length and breadth of two continents. : ' Dick Laver- 

 ack was ab,ent. owing to the failure ol the handler of Mr. 

 Harrison's dogs to attend the show. Dido II., who won the 

 ribbon, was not tA so good condition a3 when at Pittsburgh 

 where she was first in th< m o] is8 She "as hard as iron.

 setter to the show. So well do we thiuk of lier that we ore 

 not disposed to criticise, except to sav that we could 

 not quite agree with the judge in his deciafcm. Her stall 

 was 'trhiiiiicd and decorated with a basket o£ beautiful 

 Mowers presented by some admiring ladv friends. Petrel

He was greatly admired. Princeof Vernon, who wassecond, 

 • ,:•..- iiT.iinal. He and his brother. Duke or East- 

 • :., got he, make :l beautiful brace. Don Juan, 

 bird, we preferred for second place. Royal Sultan. 

 who was given second it Pittsburgh, has improved in condi- 

 tion, and deserved Iu? vhe., as also did the others who received 

 thfcthret letters. Weflioushtthal Wagner, who waae,; 'Count 



not;eed. -. . :■ d'tho three letters; as all'nf them 



■ Grouse Da!.- was looking very well, aud was 

 certainly worth ho Lancaster also deserved the two letters. 

 The !ive,l,,.'s,,i Dr. S. Meet, Spier were benched together, as 

 were his foui bitches to their class 'flu v arc all handsome, 

 and were well shown, aud attracted much attention. In the 

 bitch class there were eight capital ones. I.adv Marv, who 

 wa» lirs.t. was us good as aiiv of them, except thai her lecture 

 poor. For this iv.-isoii we -hould have placed her third.and given 

 Fairy II. first, and Has), hie Belle second. The vhc.'s were 

 well' placed. Little Pebble should have been added to the 

 lis] for her good looks and elegant carriage. Fairv Belle and 

 the four ol Oc Bpfer, we thought deserved the two letters 

 each. The dog puppy class brought out a grand one in Prince. 

 Kova'. who won lirst: he is a large dog, but very welll made 

 up' He is the l,st son of Thunder that we have seen, and if 

 hegoesall right he will be heard from again. Ted is also 

 uuito a dog, and deserved his medal. The bitches were all 

 good, and well placed, except thai Princess Helen, who w 

 second.. aud Princess Victoria, who was vhe.. should have 

 changed places, both are good, but Victoria, notwithstanding 

 herlackof condition, is decidedly the b-sl. Ibier, who was 

 vhe.. we like exceedingly. She is a line, large animal, and 

 very handsome. The d"g and bitch puppies under twer 

 months Were a capita! lot. and a- well placed perhaps as was 

 possible. Bob White, who won first. iB a rare good one, t 

 tf he matures as he should, his beautiful head and well-prov 

 tioucd form will carry him well to the front, in any company, 

 (.harm, who won second, is also a very promising youngster. 

 We also liked Semiranfia ami Carrie W. AH through the 

 English setter classes were above the average in form and 

 quality. 



BLACK AND TAN SETTERS. 



3IR. JOHN C. IIIGOINS. 



The black and tan setters, with few exceptions, were not a 

 good lot, and unless the breeders of this strain can give us 

 something better, the black and tan should be relegated to 

 the English class, where they properly belong, as they are 

 .judged bv the English standard. " If their friends wish to give 

 them a better chance than they would have in this class, lot 

 them offer as many and as valuable specials for their favor 

 ites as they choose'. We trust that at no distant day the liners 

 of the Gordon will succeed in giving us a standard that will not 

 only be acceptable to all who admire them, but one that will 

 eliminate all of his faults of conformation and restore to us 

 in ill its purity this grand breed of dogs. Turk won iu the 

 champion dog class. "He was in good condition and deserved 

 the medal, lie is, a large dog, bm of good proportions, with 

 plenty of I, one and muscle. In th= bitch cl.is.s Ladv Gordon 

 won/although she was not quite at her best. Glen. "who won 

 tint in the. open dog class, is a large dog of good form, with 

 plenty Of bone. He moves very well indeed. " King Dan, who 

 won second, is quite a good light weight. Bruce, who was 

 third, is.: 1 - gojod except to coat. There was not much to 

 choose between Doctor and Shot, who both got vhe. The 

 bitch class brought out the best one of the lot in Perley, who 

 won first She is very good indeed, aud was shown in beau- 

 tiful condition. Patti and Belle, who were second and third, 

 are also quite good ones. The puppies averaged better than 

 the other classes, but none of them were exceptionally good. 



BED IRISH SETTERS. 

 Jilt. JOHN C. HIGGTNS. 



The Irish classes, except the puppies, were grand. Four 



better dogs in the champion dog class never faced a judge. 

 Biz, who was (riven the pride of place, was at his best. Wc 

 have never seen him looking so well. He is a capital dog, 



except in head and ear. We did not like him so well for til- 

 placeaswcdal Cleiicho. whois an Irish dog all over, from 

 . ead to lad. ;uu\ a rare good one, too. He is a big dog, and 

 not vet mature, and good as he is, we shall expect to see him 

 better next year, Elclio VII. is also a capital young dog of 

 goi d type. Hi- ej e is a trifle too light, and he- is" just a little 

 too narrow in build. Chief was just from the snipe meadows, 

 aud wa- too thin m llesh to compete in such hot company. 

 lie i- -a grand dog. and when at h,s best, none but strictly 

 first-cluss animals have any business with him. His eyes are 

 alittle to light, whieh is about hi- woirt fault. There were 

 four other.-, in the class who did not compete Elcho was 

 looking very we'l. A glance at bis record will convey to the 

 reader. a lar better idea of Ids beatijfcy and worth Ihan columns 

 of warmest praise. Ilory O'More wasin good condition. He 

 is a capital dog, aud has many v.iirm admirers. Berkley 

 was in good form He is one of the besl put together dog- 

 that can be found, but more of the English than Irish type. 

 EHcho III. wasjioi present. He has l.tn recently returned 

 From the South, and was out of condition. In the bitch 

 .l.ti. • was deservedly awarded lirst. She i>. as 

 we said of her Umg ago. one of the best bitches in the 

 ■■!.!. and we do not believe that a better can he. 

 produced in the world. She might be just a trifle 

 deeper in Chest, but so sen: metrical i.H she that it takes 

 verycloae ,-- .animation to" discover that she is not entirely 

 faultless. -Meg is also verv near perfection, and only a little 

 I,, low Lad;, clan-. N.-.r.i < 'Mo. .• is avurygood bitch. SheiB 



not in t": :'■'. aiui her coat was faded. ' Lady 



lierklev was looking iineK. She has a iieautil id color and is 

 well made. Her lead is a trifle heavy f..r a bitch, gnd her 

 coat is not quite m> flat at ii -hould bo, Noreen was absent, 

 and we »cre disappointed in not seeing- her, as we would very 

 milch like lo have comporedher with Lade Clare. The open 

 dog slags ftus one ol the best that ever faced a judge; we 



thought lb 'I here were 110 "Wolidel •,' oi the 



class, although thei'O were quite a number that were far above 



the average. The principal fault that we found with them 

 was that nearly all of the best formed ones were not so fine in 

 head as they should be, Except iu this respect, most of the 

 Class wore Irish dogs. The bitch class was not so good, al- 

 though tin- good qualities of Trix aud Noreen II. went a long 

 way toward bringing up the average. Trix, who won first, is 

 a cuppei and no mistake. She has not quite depth enough of 

 chest, and was a bil oil' in < .oat. She is now in a red hot class, 

 but if she comes into the rinc next year at her best, her com- 

 petitors must have, every hair just right or they will get left. 

 Noreen 1L, who won second, is also a rattling good bitch, with 

 very few faults. It will take a very good one, indeed, to win 

 over her when mature. She was shown too fat, and her color 

 is a bit too light. The puppies were only fair, as is often the 

 case with this class, for they do not generally show well until 

 mature. We thought Susie, in the bitch 'class, worthy of 

 notice, as she is quite a nice one, nearly as good as first. 

 ClIKSAI'EAKE BAY" DOGS. 

 MR. JOHN G. HECKSCHEU. 



This was a very workman-like class, all of them were well 

 made and powerful animals; we thought them well placed. 

 SPANIELS. 



MB, J. V. KJKK. 



The only entry in the champion Irish water spaniel class 

 was absent. The opeu class was not good, although some of 

 them were fair. Dan O'Connor, who won first, lias a good 

 head with a fair body and grand legs and feet, aud is of good 

 color. His top knot and ears are not good, and his coat was in 

 wretched condition, lie has the best body and poorest tail of 

 the lot. Molly McGuire has a good top knot and capital ears. 

 She has a fair head and body with poor legs antl feet; she was 

 shown to bad condition. Bruna, who received he, has a good 

 head, top knot, ears and tail, otherwise she is not good. Iu 

 I he champion field spaniels, over liSlbs.. Benedict, the only 

 em iv. was in his usual good condition. He is a very hard dog 

 to beat, l'.lack Prince was an easy winner in the open class. 

 Ho is a capital dog with rather an ordinary head and legs, 

 his tail is also noi lirst-eiass. but otherwise lie is very uear per- 

 fect. Dash, who won secoud, is also a little off in head 

 and legs. Ho is very well made up except that he 

 is much too short iu body, his coat is not tirst- 

 class. Beau, who~was given vhe., has crooked fore legs and 

 is uot quite so good as Prince in coat, but in all other points he 

 is fullv his equal. In the champion cocker under iSlbs., class, 

 Honudl Dandy won easily. He is a capital dog, and has the 

 honor of being the only champion cocker dog in this country. 

 In the open class (other than black) Alma, who won lirst. was 

 much the best one in the class; she has improved with age. 

 Charley, who won second, is also quite a good dog. His head 

 and ears are poor, and there is just tho slightest suspicion of 

 water spaniel in his coat. In the black, or black aud white 

 class, Homell Dinah, a very nice bitch, deservedly won first. 

 Ben Lachiuc, who was placed second, is also very good. The 

 puppies were better than we generally see in the class. The 

 first and second winners were remarkably good, and had 

 Black Sam as good legs and feet as Black Silk, their positions 

 should be reversed, as Sam has the best head. 

 FOXHOUNDS. 



MAJOR J. M. TAYLOR. 



This class brought out some good specimens, which were 

 well placed. Vinegar, who won first in the opeu class, is fit 

 for iuiv company. 



BEAGLES. 



DR. J. W. DOWNEV. 



There were only eight beagles shown. The winners were 

 all good aud properly placed. Myrtle, who won first in the 

 open class for bitches, is a rare good one. Daisy, who was 

 second to her, is also a capital little one, with the best of legs 

 and feet and a perfect ear. She is a bit too fine in the muzzle 

 and a little wide m chest, 



DACHSHTJNDE. 



MR. JAMES WATSON. 



This class was also small. Gretel deserved her first. She 

 is capital, except that she is rather straight on her legs. Lus- 

 tig, who won second, is too short aud light; we liked "H. N.," 

 quite a nice one, better for the place. 



FOX-TERRIERS. 

 MR. J. P. IORK, 



The fox-terriers were out iu force. Joker was lirst in the. 

 champion clog class. He is a capital dog, except in head. 

 Royal is much superior to him in this respect, and should have 

 beaten him, as he is fully his equal in all other points, excefit 

 that, perhaps, he has not quite so good a coat. Diana won 

 easily in the bitch class. She has improved since we saw her at 

 Pittsburgh, and when shown in condition she is a sure winner 

 over anything that we have ever seen. In the open dog class, 

 Warren Jim, who won fust, is a very nice one. if he does not 

 grow too large, he will do to show again. Grip is also good 

 all over, except that he is a bit thick iii skull. Jack, who won 

 third, is well made, but a little coarse. Iu the bitch class, all 

 three of the winners are too Hue all through. They a re well made 

 and very pretty to look at, but need more bone and substance 

 for workers. Both of the. winners in the wire-haired class 

 were the reverse of this, and both wore a trifle off in coat. 

 They were very well put together. Harold, who won first in 

 the dog puppy class, is a capita] one. We also liked Cad, who 

 was unnoticed. Helene, the winning bitch puppy, was the 

 best of a poor lot. 



COLLIES. 



DR. J. W. DOWNEY. 



The display of collies was much the best in number and 

 qualil v that we have ever seen. We thought them very well 

 judged, except that we should have, given Conn, who was 

 vhe. in the opeu dog class, a better place. He is qmte a good 

 one. Erne, who was first in the bitch class, is a new comer 

 and a very uicc one indeed. Nearly all of the entries of Mr. 

 Burgess were sick with distemper and unable to be present. 

 BULLDOGS. 



Jilt. J. F. KIRK. 



Romulus won first in the champion class. He is a capital 

 dog. with a good body and plenty of bone. He is a little ofi° 

 in muzzle. In the open class Bill, who won first, is a very 

 good specimen with a nice body. He is also a little off in 

 muzzle, legs and feel. The others were not remarkable, ex- 

 cept that some of them were very bad. 

 TERRIERS. 



MR. J. F. KtRK. 



Young Bill, tho only entry in the champion bull-terrier large 

 class, was absent. There were four very good ones in the 

 open class. Spring, who won first, is good all over and of the 

 proper type. SnowLall. who got second, is very close to him. 

 He is a trifle short in face and a bit long in his feet. President. 

 who won third, has not quite bone enough. We liked Scarlet 

 II. better for the place, as he has a good body with plenty of 

 bone and muscle and a good face. He is a little too wide in 

 the chest. The champion light weights were given equal drat. 

 This was perhaps the best solution of the matter, as both were 

 liist-class specimens and verv nearly equal. There was noth- 

 ing in the. open class or puppv class worthy of notice, aud the 

 prizes were, very properly withheld. The rough-haired terriers 

 were quite pretty, but of no particular breed. We thought 

 I hem properly placed. The black and tan class (over 

 ilbs.i brought out in Teazer the best one that 

 we have ever seen. He- is all over a very 



§»od one. Cuss, who got second, is also a capital dog. 

 e is not quite up to Teazer in eats, legs and tail, nor is he 

 quite so symmetrical. Reveller, although a nice dog, is not 



quite good enough to compete with these, and had to he con- 

 tent with vhe. Fannie, who was he, wo liked very much, 

 although she was very badly showu. TheDandie Dimnonts 

 1 properly placed. I larryowen won iu 

 the Irish terrier elass. but had Spuds, who was placed second. 

 been a few years younger he might not have fared so well, as 

 Spuds, when iu hoi pi itne, was a, verv hard one to beat, as 

 her mimv winnings testify. A capital illustration of her as 

 she appeared in her yoiith may be found in Stonehenge's 

 "Dogs of the British Isles.'' The Skyes were equal lo tit 086 

 of last year. Souter Johnnie, who won lirst in the open class, 

 is the best of the lot, notwithstanding he is only a puppy and 

 lacks in coat. We. also liked Pepper, although I'm stands a bit 

 high and does not carry his tail so well as Johnnie. 

 PUGS. 



MR. J. 1\ K IK Iv. 



In the champion class (leorge added one more ribbon to his 

 large collection. He will now "rest upon his well won laurels to 

 the great satisfaction of In- oft defeat eel rivals. There were no 

 nit flea in the bitch class. Joe. who won lirst m the open dog 

 elass, is a capital dog with no very weak points. He is a 

 little olf iu truce and color, and might be a bit better in moles. 

 All the classes were very good indeed, and as well placed, 

 perhaps, as was possible. 



YORKSHIRE TERRIERS. 



MR. J. P. KIRK. 



In the champion class, over 51 bs., Hero was rightly given 

 first. He is very good, except that he is not quite so sym- 

 metrical as he should be, and his nine is not quite, up to tin- 

 mark. He was also a trifle off in condition. Leo, who won 

 first in the open class, is a beauty, and would be still Let ler if 

 he was properly groomed. Me 'has a lovelv coat and plenty 

 of it. His chief fault is a little too much length of body. The 

 champion light weights had but oue representative, who was 

 transferred to the open dog class, where he won first, lie 

 was a fair specimen only, but better than the others, who 

 were not so good as their larger friends. The toys were quite 

 a good class. Billy, who won first, is a capital black and tan. 

 with a very good coal aud markings. Daisy, who won second, 

 is also quite good, but not so well marked as Billy. She was 

 transferred from the largo class. 



KING CHARLES SPANIELS. 



MR. J. P. K11I.IC. 



This was also a good class. Sallie, who won first, is just a 

 trifle off in no-e aud ear, but otherwise she is about as near 

 perfection as can be found. She has a wonderful coat and is 

 of beautiful color. Charley, who won second, is also very 

 good, but not of so good color as Sallie; he was not in good 

 condition iu coat or feather. 



BLENHEIM SPANIELS. 



MR. J. F. KIRK. 



Lilly, who won tlrst, is quite a nice little bitch, much better 

 than we have ever seen at previous shows here. 

 JAPANESE SPANIELS. 



MR. .1. P. KIRK, 



There were two very pretty bttle ones in this class, which 

 were rightly placed. 



ITALIAN GREYHOUNDS. 

 3IR. J. 1\ KIRK. 



This was a good class, much above the average, ttip, who 

 won first, is very good except iu siy.e, which is loo large. Nep- 

 pie, who got second, has the same fault. .She had a lamily of 

 six puppies that were a very nice and even lot, Daisy, who 

 was vhe, except for her badly-mcudcd leg, was of proper size 

 and much the best in the class. 



MISCELLANEOUS CLASS. 

 MESSRS. KIRK AND WATSON. 



The large class brought out a nice lot of poodles. who carried 

 off the three prizes and two vhc.'s. Nero, a cross between the 

 St. Bernard and Mastiff, we thought deserved a ribbon lor his 

 good form. Spot, quite a good Dalmatian, except iu ears, also 

 deserved mention. The small class contained nothing re- 

 markable., 



!SPECTAL PHIZES. 



The specials, for which the managers very properly charged 

 no entry fee. were, in many instances, decided in the regular 

 classes. Where reiudgin.g un, m. -.--u-v tin' decisions were 

 generally correct, although we could not agic-e with the judge 

 m placing Dido II. over Plantagcnet for the best English set- 

 ter, nor could we see that Prince Royal was a better English 

 setter puppy than Bob White. Foreman should also have 

 beaten London for the medal of the Eastern Field Trials
