THE CRYSTAL PALACE DOC SHOW. 



•nr Special Correspondent.] 



THE Kennel Club's twenty-first exhibition of sporting and 

 other dogs was held on the grounds of tho Crystal Palace 

 Company on the 3d, 4th, 5th and nth July, and was, taken 

 altogether, quite a success. There were Til classes and l.i'.s 

 entries, with kc-n competition in mostly all classes. The 

 beiichinj; and feeding was intrusted to the Spratt Patent, 

 and th.-ir manager, Mr. Charles Croft, deserves great credit 

 for the able manner in which he carried out the arrange- 

 ments. The dogs were benched in four tents, in which there 

 was ample room, and all the dogs were as comfortable us we 

 have ever seen them. The, weather being line all the time, the 

 front of the tents were thrown open during the day, giving 

 I dm it v of air to the dogs, which kept every place, comparatively 

 speaking, free from the smell which generally is to he found 

 at. all dog shows, the place was also regularly during the 

 show disinfected with Jeyes" "perf.-e. ,.,,■.,■".'• The judging 



himdli'mfncipa^ 



lherewas S n verv fine disphiy oV large no.i-sporl.mg dogs 

 which we are always prepared to see at the London shows. 

 Bloodhounds were the first, andalthoiigh a very good show of 

 this variety it was nothiug extra. Dogs of Mr. Nichols's 

 strain carrying away most all the prizes.

" mastiff bitches, several of which were 

 all fit for the keenest competition. Thoro was also a good dis- 

 play of mast i IT puppies, but there was nothing among them 

 that islikelv to beat any of the champions. 



St. Bernards, as usual, were in large force. In the cham- 

 pion class Cadwallader beat Bayard, a decision which was 

 pretty well indorsed. In the open class the giant, Rector, 

 carried off first; ho is certainly a noble animal, weighing, we 

 bolieve, at present, 196 pounds: Mr. Jopliu's Kiui.-t coming 

 second and Leonard, in bad form, third, otherwise no doubt 

 he would have been higher up. being certainly a very good 

 specimen. There whs a very good display of smooth St. Ber- 

 nards, and we fancied two dogs shown by Mr. filucheson 

 equally as much as any, St. Bernard puppies were also good, 

 but nothing extra to cause a sensation or frighten the present 

 champions. 



Newfoundlands were really good, most of the prizes being 

 carried off bv Mr. Nichols and Mr. Fnnpihaivon. In deer- 

 hounds Mr. .foplin won in champion, which we think was a 

 lucky wiu, as we fancied others in the class equally as much 

 an his Chieftain. Open dogs was won by Mr. Hickman's Lord 

 .,1 Mi,- Nles, a very line specimen, as were all Mr. Hickman's 



ivhll.it>. 



(Jreyhounds never come out in numbers at London as they 

 do at some smaller country shows. Bonny Lass could not be 

 denied for first: she is certainly a really handsome grej hound 

 As usual in the any other variety of foreign dogs Mr. Taunton

 mitted, with the exception of Crowr 

 ;he best mastiff in England. There was 



mastiff bitches, several of which 



Poodles were fair, the first prize dog being a very good one, 

 so was the second. 



Bulldogs, as usual at London, are quite a show of them- 

 selves, and are never seen in such force, anywhere else. 



Irish water spaniels were small classes. 



Field spaniels were verv good, but cockers under twenty- 

 five pounds only two entries, and only one black, Miss Obo, 

 a very good one. 



Fox-terriers were in gnat force. Cracknel, who caused 

 such a sensation here la -t Januarv . got beaten bv M. Turner's

 tan terriers, Burke, first: the rest nowhere. White English 

 iers, the winner the best we have seen for some tune.

 good team.
