 Several special prises have already been donated, and as it is 

 expected many more will be given they will not be published 

 in separate form until all are in. The entries for all specials 

 will he free. 



The awards in the regular classes will govern aU the 

 specials as far as practicable, and when it is not so the dog 

 will be called into the ring at. the direction of the judge. 



The D Batten- is an elegant place for a show of this kind, 

 being situated near tbe depot and within easy aecessofall 

 the principal hotels. The building itself is well ventilated, 

 and a spacious lot or field adjoins it for the proper exercising 

 of the dogs. 



As the time is so short between now and the show, the en- 

 tries will close on the, 1st of June, and entries sent, by mail 

 must be sent in time to reach Chicago by that; date. The P. 

 0. Box is No. MIL'.

 my friend and his kennel of beagles— even one of them, also.

LONDON DOG SHOW.— London, Ont.— A meeting of the 

 principal dog fanciers of the city and vicinity was held at the 

 t eel.], House on the i:;th ult., when it. wasdeoidedto hold a 

 bench show under the auspices of the Western Fair Associ- 

 ,i see and during their fair. Which will be about the first week 



. I ;..ber next The following officers were appointed: 

 President, Col. John Walker; Vice- 1 resident, Ci. F. Hiscox: 

 Secretaries, ,f. Fuddieoiubc and C, A. Stone; Treasurer, David

power to add to their number. A deputation was chosen to 



wait on the Western I'air Association at their next meeting, 

 and place the requirements of ihe bench show managers he- 

 foria them, find ask their assistance in furthering the show. 

 As a beneh show a I wa\ s does well in London, and has hitherto 

 been most satisfactory both as to exhibition aud the pro- 

 moters, it is to be hoped that this one will be (to use the 

 words of Charles Lincoln) a crowning SUCCJBSS, —I

MANGE CI/RE.— Efb'for Fores/ and Stream: Iu view of 

 the extensive prevalence of mange in the vicinity of Boston 

 and through some other portions of New- England also, per- 

 haps a word or two on the subject might bi 

 dog owner who is struggling with a despe 



able pointer belonging to an acquaintance or mine snoweo a 

 few drv mange spots about his head during the hot weather 

 of last summer. He. called my attention to them, and I ap- 

 plied an ointment made of vaseline, tar and sulphur, and they 

 soon disappeared. During the shoe'/ te se 

 was again attacked, more violently. The < 

 the best ot care and feed, and the. owner can reran uu nine ui 

 his being exposed to contact with any ol her animal. He was 

 always kept in a large, dry shed, and given plenty of oxercise. 

 But in the same shell with him had always been kept theswill 

 barrel, and If the mango parasite is of vegetable origin, per- 

 haps here was the cause of his trouble. The poison continued 

 to spread slowly in the second instance, in spite of a liberal 

 use of these usually very effective ointments— turpeutine, 

 train oil and sulphur, and lard, black pepner and sulphur, the 

 last, of which I had previously found infallible. A solution of 

 tobacco, together with frequent baths, procured from the 

 tanner'- pit. seemed equally without avail, and even the aU- 

 powcrful green iodide of mercury proved useless here. All 

 ointments" seemed terribly to irritate the skin, till at last the 

 poor animal was covered' with wicked-looking eruptions from 

 the size of half a pea to that of half a cranberry, and about 

 the color of the latter. Nearly every particle of hah was 

 gone. Fveu castile soap seemed to add to the inflammation. 

 In despair the owner brought the dog to me to see if I could 

 suggest anything further. "I kept him aud began to treat him, 

 as ft last resort, as I remembered hearing an old fox hunter 

 recommend some years ago. First I whitewashed him, leav- 

 ing on the wash ai long as the dog could bear it; then rinsed 

 off quickly and thoroughly; then applied freely, twice a day. 

 sulphurous acid diluted four times with pure water. In a 

 Week the scees began to lose their redness and the swellings 

 to subside. Fed on lamb boiled with turnips, rice and spin- 

 ach: gave half teaspodnful of sulphur every other day. At 

 the end often days, in place of the acid, applied a wash of 

 alcohol (reduced one-half) and camphor. In three weeks the 

 dog's skin was perfectly white, entirely free from dust and 

 wales, with a new coat of hair growing rinelv.—F. B. (Boston, 

 May lb. [We should recommend extreme caution in the use 

 of such a remedy, for the lime iu the whitewash, as is well 

 known, will cause the hair to fall out. The wash should be 

 very weak, and should not be permitted to remain on long.] 



POINTS OF THE COLLIE.— New York, May 1(1.— Stone- 

 henge and Dalziel describe the Scotch collie: the former copy- 

 ing Youatt's picture, and the latter. I think, giving dimen- 

 sions. Among others the height at shoulder is given at from 

 twenty-one to twentv-t'our inches, and the length from nose 

 to set on of tail at thirty-seven to forty-two. Now at the dog 

 show the champions bore no resemblance to the engravings, 

 varying especially in shape of body and in appearance of the 

 tail, and were certainly a third smaller than the book dimen- 

 sions, the head and the coat alone corresponding. In fact, to 

 the inexperienced eye the book dog and the actual prize dog 

 might easily have been of distinct breeds. What is the rea- 

 son of this." And what book can I fiud which will accurately 

 describe the ''correct" collie of to-day? Pray pardon my 

 boring you with what I suppose is the simplest of questions 

 to a dog fancier, but I assure you that some light on my dense 

 ignorance would be highly appreciated by— Lvqdiher. '[Some 

 two months ago we met a gentleman who was born and 

 brought up among the hill* of Scotland, "sud who was familiar 

 With, the collies of which on r 01 urespondent writes. He was 

 very enthusiastic in their praise, particularly of their beautv 

 and usefulness, aud bewailed the degeuera&on, as he called 

 it, of his favorites. He claimed that the bench show was 

 responsible, for this, and that the animals we now see so high 

 in favor with the public were not to be compared with those 

 of a few years ago. either for work or beauty. We could not 

 agree with him so far as beauty of form and symmetrical pro- 

 portions are concerned, and in regard to then- uvfulness we 

 have yet to learn, nor do we believe, thai I here is any deteri- 

 oration in the qualities (hit make them so invaluable to the 

 shepherds upon the bleak hillsides and lonely mo •- - Oi their 

 nativeland. or to the her 1 ••<- upon fie' broad prairies,,! the 

 West. We should be greatly pleased to hear from thos v 

 arc qualified by experience in relation to the mutter: Cor if 

 the fears of tli» friends of the, old type of collie are well 

 founded, it is high time that steps were taken to rescue from 

 degeneration r.liis most useful of dogs.

-PUBLIC" vs. "PRIVATE" KENNEL REGISTERS. -There 

 is Only one American Kintal Rct/isler in this country, namely 

 that published by the Forest and Stream Publishing Co. No 

 Other record uvea- bore this name. The public understands 

 (his perfectly, and there is no occasion for anyone being be 

 foe-sred over'it. And as to the American Kennel llcgixter being 

 a "private" undertaking, it is, insofar as it is backed up by 

 private enterprise. But as it is i he only pedigree register that 

 has actually givn printed publicity to" the pedigrees confided 

 to it. it is more of a public institution than is any other record . 

 What is more, it is indorsed anil substantially supported Dy 

 the public. Everyone at the Westminster show knew that 

 the initals "A.K.ft." stood for something actual, tangible and 

 aeeessibie. To speak of the .ie<,/-/,,.,. Kennel Register as an 



enterprise in competition with the National American Fennel 

 Club Stud Book is nonscn-e. There is no such opposition. 

 The Stud Book will be ltsefid (when it is published i. and its 

 usefulness can in no wise be impaired bv the publication 

 of the monthly Register. The compiler- of future volumes oi 

 the Stud Book will find the Ketji.-ttt r of I he nt. a test service, 

 when they have occasion to use its files for their compilation. 

 The subscription price of the Register is one dollar per year. 



DOG THIEVES CAPTHRED.— A bold attempt at dog 

 stealing was frustrated in this city yesterday and the thieves 

 lei Early in the morning, before the' family were up, 

 a couple of short-baited roughs were observed lurking about, 

 the residence of Mr. Shepherd F. Kuapp. at l>tti street and 

 Twelfth avenue, looking at the dogs, halt a dozen of which 

 had lust been let out. At length one of the rasca s caught up 

 a valuable bull-terrier bitch, Alice, and the two ran up lastl, 

 street. A servant saw them and raised an alarm, and one of 

 the men employed ou the place started in pursuit on font. A 

 milkman, whose wagon .stood near at hand, .jumped into it 

 and followed them so closely thai at l.Vah -treet and Eleventh 

 avenue they dropped the dog. and., continuing down Eloventh 

 avenue, turned up l.VM street, running toward the police sta- 

 tion, corner i:,:.'d street and Tenth avenue. When thev had 

 reached it. the milkman shouted for the police and the officers 

 stepped out and took them in. The last your reporter saw of 

 them they were wending their way toward the Harlem Police 

 Court, each securely handcuffed to a policeman. It is hoped 

 that thev will lie sent out of the way of any further tempta- 

 tion for six months or a year. 



"DOG STOLEN FROM THE NEAV YORK BENCH SHOW." 

 —New York, May 21, 1883.— EiSlor Forest and Stream; In 



answer to the communication with the above heading, signed 

 by Mr. J. H, Phelan, which appeared in \ our last issue, I beg 

 leave to say, on behalf of the management, that early on 

 Saturday morning an attendant brought to me a liver and 

 white pointer puppy, which he said had been found beneath 

 a pile of straw near'the Fourth avenue end of the Garden 



The puppy had evidently I. n injured in some way, and was 



suffering also from worms. Instructions were at once given 

 by Mr. Lincoln and myself at the dOOTS, and to all engaged in 

 the building, that, if a in o,... i:,. .r'-ed ■,, a mi-sing puopy. to 

 send the inquirer to Mr. Lincoln, Milk was sent for and a 

 man was detailed to Led the puppy aud take care of it. No 

 one appearing to claim it by l;3D P. M., the time we left the 

 building, Ihepuppv was placed iu good hands to be taken 

 eareof. audi have so notified Air. Phelan. Sportsmen will 

 thus see that if proper inquiries had been made there would 

 have be u no occasion to rush into print about a "stolen .log" 

 that was not stolen from the. New York Bench Show. — Wai.t.
