GLENCHO KENNEL'S RED IRISH SETTER DOG "GLENCHO." 

 Winner of Ftbst'Prize in Open Class, Pittsburgh, 1S83. 



unobjectionable. I should like to know just when it was 

 "everlastingly condemned.'' Was it during the career of 

 Pride of the fiorder.' Or before the existence "of bench shows 

 in America? 



After what Col. Taylor has recently published in FoBEST 

 and Stream, I think he ought, in fairness, to show us. say at 

 the next bench show in New York, what a setter or pointer 

 should be. I should say he would be willing to take some 

 trouble and incur considerable expense for the purpose. I 

 for one shall look for his entry with some curiosity. 



I am conscious that I have written in a more personal vein 

 than I usually care to indulge in. I have done so because I 

 consider that when a man writes in such a lofty strain of criti- 

 cism as Col. Taylor, everyone else has a perfect right to exam- 

 ine and question his qualifications as a erifie and to expose, if 

 they can, his inconsistencies. It is hardly neeo-sarv r 



that I concur in some of his ideas, especially about the tail- 

 holding and setting up the dogs to look, as wooden is possible. 

 That kind of performance has often afforded me amusement, 

 and I should be sorrv, therefore, to have it abolished. Pi< kct.

CHICAGO BENCH SHOW. 



[From our Regular Chicago Correspondent.] 



THE International Bench Show to be. held here at Battery 

 D Armory, June IB to 15, inclusive, is attracting great at- 

 tention over the country, and being under the management of 

 Mr. Charles Lincoln, there is little doubt as to its great suc- 

 cess. The judges selected are well qualified for the position. 

 and it is considered very fortunate that- such a selection nas 

 been made. 



Some information was gathered by your correspondent as 

 to entries, though the official closing is>hot until June 4. There 

 will be about 1,000 dogs entered in the seventy-four classes. 

 The secretary has heard from the East, a nd a so aha ear will 

 leave New York on Saturday evening with twenty live dogs 

 of the fox-terriers. Yorkshire' terriers, pugs, bull-terriers and 

 bulldogs, all first-prize winners. A queer entry will be a wild 

 Mexican dog, weighing only one rnjujri. ant aa ounce, tg, T. 

 S. Peabody, of Chiuhuahtui, Mexico, and it arrives here next 

 week in charge of a guard, who never leaves him. This i.v the 

 second time that one of these dogs has been exhibited in the 

 United States. The other time was three years ago in New 

 York, when a Mexican lady exhibited him* Another great 

 entry is the celebrated pointer Bang Bang, entered by the 

 Westminster Kennel Club for the first time in this country. 

 He is now on his way across the waters. Every one will want 

 to see him. The champion mastiff, Nevison, winner of ahirty- 

 three first prizes and cups, and the champion St. Bernard. 

 Bonivard, both world champions, will be exhibited, it is 

 announced that the great sire of the. held trial champion, 

 Rake, will be exhibited. The Hornell Kennel Club will enter 

 a number o. spaniels. Mr. J. H. Whitman, of this citv, will 

 enter some famous dogs, and, all in all. the promises for a 

 grand entry list look good. There will be a large number of 

 toys, poodles and pugs exhibited. 



The building in which the show will be held is spacious and 

 easy of access, and without doubt will be well filled each day 

 with admiring crowds.

GLENCHO AND TRIX. 



TE give this week cuts of the red Irish setters, Glencho 

 I and Trix. owned by the Glencho Kennel. Peekskill, 

 N. Y. Glencho is a capital specimen of the. Irish dog. with but 

 few faults. He made his bow to the public at Pittsburgh last 

 April, where he easily captured first in the open class. He is 

 not quite two yeans old and not yet fully matured. He is by 

 champion Elcho out of champion Noreeri. Trix is one of the 

 best formed Irish bitches that we have ever seen. Her first 

 appearance was at the New York show last month, v. here she 

 won first in the open class. Soon after her arrival at the show 

 she was purchased for the Glencho Kennel by Mr. Wm. K. 

 Lente. of Seville, Fla., who was offered a large advance upon 

 the price paid, but wisely refused to part with her. She is 

 three years old. and is also by Elcho and out oE Eire Fly. Both 

 are said to be excellent fielders, and their owners niay well 

 feel proud of them. The cuts are from sketches by "Harry 

 Tallman, and are capital likenesses. 



THE SAN FRANCISCO DOG SHOW. 



Editor Forest and Stream: 



At your request I send vou a few notes aneut the Dog Show 

 of the Pacific Coast Kennel Club, held at San Francisco last 

 week. To show yonr readers that 1 am thoroughly competent 

 to perform the task, I will state, <•» passant, that I had the 

 hotfc*- of assisting the judges at Watertown, to 1875, or at 

 least one of them (I picked up his hat). I also had the supreme 

 pleasure of howling at Chicago early the next year when the 

 judges placed such weeds as Adam's Rock' and old Lei- 

 cester over my favorite, the beautiful Paris. 1 had mv revenge, 

 though, when Elcho beat Erin and Rufus. Here'l rest my 

 case, as the fact that I selected Elcho for premier honors upon 

 his tirst appearance, when taken in connection with his since 

 brilliant career, is proof "strong as holy writ" that as a repor- 

 ter of dog shows 1 am au fait. 



The show was held in I'nion Hall, on Howard street, com-

 themselves of this opperttmity must applr to Jlr. V, , i i

badly 



that considerable more straightening but might with benefit 

 have been applied to affairs all tnrough the show. There ware 

 said to be about three hundred dogs present, which is perhaps 

 a fair estimate. The catalogue was a 'delusion and a snare," 

 as many dogs entered were not to be found; but to balance 

 this there were quite a number shown that were not down in 

 the bill; and worn than this, not a few of the dogs were 

 entered in wroug classes. The. building is not large enough for 

 such a show, and the space allowed the spectators was at times 

 uncomfortably crowded. 



The d, >gs were up oi the whole a fair lot, much better than 

 I expected to see. The English setters were, as a class, the. 

 best of the show. The judging was upon the whole as satis- 

 factory as could well be expected, although there was consid- 

 erable growling by some of the -outs.-' but in most eases a 

 glaj.a. a their exhibits would plainly show that the error in 

 judgment could not be charged against the gentlemen who 

 made the awards. Take it as a whole, the show was fairly 

 successful. Let us hope that it is the precursor of a series of 

 meetings that will prove to be both a benefit and an honor to 

 the spi .rl smell ( it the. Pacific slope. I fully intended to give a 

 learned dissertation upon the comparative merits of the dogs 

 exhibited, but I find upon looking over mv notes that owing 

 :oi|je lamentable ignorance displayed in classify. ng them, 

 some of my winners were transferred toother classes, and 1 



ill therefore refrain from comments. Verbum sap. Following
