ENGLISH SETTERS

In the champion dog claSS Royal Ranger had n 

 Plantagenet. the only other entry, being absent 

 ofMr.Goodseirsr-iitr.es. Royal Ranger well deserved his 

 honors. He was Looking better than we have ever seen him. 

 Mr. Moore, who has bad him in charge, is deserving of great 

 credit for the excellent condition in which he was shown. 

 In the bitch class Dido II. also had it, all her own way. The 

 litfie_Iady was looking better than, when she was al V w 5 ark, 

 She was greatly admired and won hosts of friends. In the 

 open dog class Laverock clue!' was deservedly placed tirst. 

 He is a capital auinial, of medium size, with lote of quality.

 is also a big dog, but a very good one. Count Derby, who 

 was he., deserved the place.' He is of medium size aiid well 

 pul together. Count I'.lvtiie, who was commended, should 

 have been given another litter. He is a Very faii- 

 animal of Lavcraok Up.'. In the hitch class, Glen- 

 lilass, who won first.' is u very goo,d bitch, and 

 except that she was a little too fat, -he was shown in 

 elogant condition. This, we imagine, carried bier through, as 

 Queen Alice, who whs second, was her -up-rioriii n-arlvev-rv 

 othcr respect. It is hard to tind a hotter bitcii all round than 

 Queen Alice. She has a V8rj BWeei lead. and. except that 

 her loin is not Quite so well arched ,i.- we like, she is very near 

 perfect. Mr. Howard Hartley. ■■;' Pittsburgh, liked lier so 

 well that he paid $ loot., ; hi. We consider her very cheap, 

 both on account of her breeding and good looks. 'Jessica. 

 who was given vhc. reserve, although onlv thirteen months 

 old, fullv deserved the honor. Sheis by Count Noble out of 

 Sanborn's Netho, and is the best Nellie puppy that wo hare 

 seen. Mr. Sanborn, who bied her, offered a long price for her, 

 but could uol prevail upon her o-wiic,- to part wiih ner. She 

 is said to possess verv good tkld qualities, and will run in tlie 

 flold trials at High Point in-xt November. Nobby, who was 

 vhc. we thought properly placed. :•.- wi- also Forest Dora. 

 he, and Princess Draco II. Zara. I. ill and Kannie, unnoticed, 

 were all worthy of mention. In the dog puppy class there 

 wasnotmuchtoehoo.se between Post Boy, who won first, 

 and Chicago Bov. who was placed second. Both are vers 

 promising. Mr. E. II. Thompson, of St, Paul, Minn., claimed 

 them both nt the catalogue price. They make a beautiful 

 brace. Duke Gladstone, who was vhe.. is also quite a promis- 

 ing puppy. Aside from these there was nothing worth men- 

 tion in the class. Chicago Girl, who won first in the bitch 

 class, was entitled to the plac-. although had Countess Daisy, 

 who was placed second, been as old as she, their positions 

 might have been re-versed. The English setter classes, 

 although not so well till, d e- •-. ■■ :-:p.-ctod to sec, were of good 

 quality. The bitches in the open class were a very good lot. 



BLACK AN' I) TAN OR GORDON SETTERS. 

 JoIIX W. KT/IfS'OJfi 

 In the champion class the judge staled that he failed i,, find 

 one that conformed to the Malcolm standard under which 

 they were advertised to be judged, and consequent 1\ he 

 should judge them according to the points as laid down by 

 Stonehenge. Argus, who was awarded the prize, is a very 

 good dog and deserved the honor. There were four in the 

 class, all good ones, int. 1 all were very well shown, [n the 

 open dog class King Dan was the only one that approached 

 the standard. He is a very fair animal. Moss, who won 

 second, is rather large and heavily mad-.-. In the hitch class 

 Young Flora, who won first, is a very good one of the proper 

 type. Gracie, who was placed second, is also a fair speci- 

 men. The other.- were not wort In of mention, There was 



but one puppy shown, emits a pretty one, but too young to 

 show.

 was also verv fat and heavy m whelp. Rose, who won vhc . 

 has a good body, legs and feet. She is weak in head and has a 

 coarse tail. There were onlv two puppies shown. Both were 

 good, with not much to choose between them. The quality 

 of the pointers shown was good. We were disappointed in 

 iheir number.-., as we had expected to see a grand exhibit. 



SPANIELS. 

 JAMES, p, KIKK. 



The champion Irish water spaniel class was divided and an 

 on ra champion rl.i-s was made for those who had Already 

 won a champion pi iz-. This we think to be wrong and v.-ry 



iii a class :it. the same show. Mike, who was given t he est in. 

 prize, is u capital dog of very good form. His coat was in 

 very bad condition, and his topknot was lacking. In the 

 champion class Count Bendigo was awarded the prize. He is 

 a grand dog and was in the best of condition, except that his 

 coat was ragged and faded owing to a hard seasou's work. 

 Dan O'Connor is a very well built dog, but his coat was in 

 wretched condition. He also shows a trace of white on each 

 ear, which is decidedly objectionable In the open dog class, 

 Storm, a rattling good one, won first.. Mr. Garduer, who 

 owns the sec, ml prize winner, protested Storm, on the ground 

 that he had been raked by plucking the tan colored hair from 

 the root of his tail. Mr. Kirk, after a careful examination. 

 announced that the protest was not sustained. Storm has a 

 light, tan marking vround the vent, but the blemish is not a 

 disqualification, as tan will occasionally crop out in the best 

 blood. Tim O'Connor, who won second, is a well made dog, 

 but he is feathered on his logs like a setter. In the bitch class 

 Swan wis placed first. She is a capital specimen, strong and 

 well made with a capital head, butin wretched coat. Queens- 

 town, who was second, we liked. She is very well put to- 

 gcther. and has a good coat and proper feather. Her topknot 

 is first clas^. Cricket, who was vhc. reserve, is also very 

 good i he o'hers 'hat were noticed were very fair atlimais 

 but not in good condition. The Irish water spaniels, as a class, 

 were the largest, in number, and the best in quality that we 

 have ever seen together. Nearly all of them were of good 

 form but wero lacking in condition. 



FIELD SPANIELS. 

 Benedict was alone in the champion class. He was in good 

 form and added one more ribbon to his large collection. In 

 the opjn ilass. Hornell Dash, quite a nice looking one, was 

 placed first, and Ilornell Baroness was awarded second. She 

 was in very good condition. Mr. Kirk, having so frequently 

 judged at shows, has thus been precluded from exhibiting 

 heretofore, but by special request, lie was induced to bring 

 some of his favorites to Chicago. Being an enthusiastic stud- 

 ent of scientific breeding, he has imported some very fine

 [ her progeny have made famous,' i- an animal 



with a perfect head, and the longest ears we 

 on a spaniel. She was shown a trifle short, of

 ronto Jet, also owned by Mr. Kirk, is a beautiful, wiry, ac- 

 tive little black bitch, of tho old-fashioned cocker stamp, 

 with a true, flat cocker coat and plenty of feather. She has 

 a. beautiful expressive eye. She is a trifle short, and round in 

 the skull, but looks all over a worker. Negress II., being 

 heavy in whelp, was not exhibited. There was only one en- 

 try hi the puppy class; Bertie, quite a nice one. The span- 

 iels, although small in numbers, were as good in quality as 

 the' country can produce. 



FOXHOUNDS. 



JAMES P. KIRK. 



There wore only two foxhounds shown. Both were good, 

 but of different, types. Forester If., who was placed first, is 

 a line ic-iuL; looking dog, with a capital head, neck and shoul- 

 ders. He is a little light in build and a trifle off in legs and 

 feet. Watchman, who was second, is one of tho true typo, 

 with a grand head, chest, back and lorn, and the best of legs, 

 feet and tail, He has a short neck, and is too thick through 

 tho shoulders; he is also a trifle out at elbows, and is rather 

 weak in hind quarters. They were placed perhaps as well as 

 was possible.

In the bull-terrier dog class, Spring was t In h one in face

MISCELLANEOUS. 



JAMBS P. KIIIK ATtD JAMES UORnMr.lt. 



This class, as is usually the case, contained a truly miscel- 

 laneous lot. First was given to I iip-ev. a lair harrier in capi- 

 tal condition: and second to Hornet it., a fair white English 

 terrier. Ho has a good body, legs and feet, but is a little weak 

 in the head and has a poor tail. All Of the others were com- 



Elimented with blue ribbon, but we failed to learn how much 

 onor they conferred. Chiliuahua. the Mexican dog, is quite 

 a pretty-little pet, and is highly prized by bis owner. Mire. 

 entered as a Lapland deerhoinul, was so fat that no correct 

 idea of his form could be had. His coat : - veri like a mas- 

 tiff's, only shorter and tiner, and. if our ideas of'the climate of 

 Lapland are correct, he would at least need a lap-robe, if not 

 an overcoat, to make his stay in his native land comfortable 

 or prolonged, Nero, a cro>s between the St Bernard and 

 Newfoundland, we greatly adjuired. He is cif nqble size, and 

 has a beautiful seal-brown coat. Dragon, the celebrated 

 Irish wolfhound, greatly disappointed us. We expected to 

 see something nearer the. type of thisgrajid breed. He is 

 quite. Loo small, although a very well built, powerful animal. 



useful animal for hunting l.-ir_e game. Nearly opposite the 

 stalls of this class was a verv handsome collection ol Bpaniels 

 belonging to Mr. J. II. Whitman. ..f Chicago. There were 

 seven of them in an open stall, and beauties they wen,. They 

 were constantly surrounded by a throng of admirers, whose 

 praises and caresses were unstinted.
