FOREST AMD STREAM. 



most admiralily managed, Mr. Lincoln's long experience being 

 all brought to Dear, and hiB corps of assistants of an excep- 

 tionally able character and appropriately uniformed. The 

 committee of the club were exceedingly active, and at the 

 same time very attentive to visitors, and our own thanks are 

 due to them for many courtesies extended. One event, which 

 was a damper to the spirits uf many, was the unfortunate ill- 

 ness of Dr. E. J. Forster, the Secretary of the Massachusetts 

 Kennel (Jlub, who was taken with a severe attack of pneumo- 

 nia on the Saturday previous to the show. We are happy to 

 say, however, that at last accounts the Doctor was improv- 

 ing. The exhibition of guns and sportsman's goods was an 

 excellent one, and appeared to faiily divide with the dogs the 

 attention of visitors. Mr. W. K. Shaefer had a very fine 

 Bupply of guns of his own manufacture, and also had a cage 

 containing ten fox cubs, all of one litter, a most remarkable 

 and unusual occurrence, and one possessing, perhaps, more 

 interest for the lox hunger than the farmer.' Messrs. Wm. 

 Read& Sons, Parker Bros., and the American Arms Co. all 

 had fine displays. 



TB35 DOGS. 



Lark being absent, Mr. Smith had a walk-over in the class 

 for Dnglish setter dogs, the prize being given to his Paris 

 over Leicester. Paris was in the pink ot condition and look 

 ing handsome as a pictuie. Mr. Smith also won in the bitch 

 class with Dart, her solitary opponent, the orange and white 

 bitch Di, being wrongly entered, as having one first at only 

 one recognized show, she was entitled to compete in the open 

 class. X'Jie imported English setter dog class was, as it 

 always is, a remarkably line one. We believe that not even 

 the most bitter opponent of the " blues " will deny that they 

 possess beauty ot coat and form in this respect, and the ten 

 Uogs brought before the judges in this class would bo hard to 

 beat, The contest was soon narrowed down to Dash 111. and 

 Coin, the former, after much consultation and tape measur- 

 ing, receiving the award. We gave our impressions of Dash 

 in the report of the Philadelphia show. Coin pushed him 

 very close, but was in better show condition, his coat being 

 almost period, and he can fed himself much more gaily in the 

 ring. .Another very handsome dog in this class, and one not 

 unlike Com in color and appearance, was Royal Duke, who 

 received a V. H. C. Handsome little Lelaps, who won first 

 here ias year, was H. O., and Warwick, a dog with a remark- 

 ably bad stern, was 0. The bitch class was not as good as the 

 other, the liaivard Kennel Club being again successful in 

 winning first with their imported Countess f f. Second went 

 to Mr. Gauges Olhe, and the same owner's Belle received the 

 only V. D. C. The only prize in the puppy class went to Nix, 

 a black, white and tan, by Gladstone out of Pearl. 



The native English setter class was a very fair one, yet the 

 judges were, very chary of notices, nor can we say that we 

 agreed with their decisions. First went to Ml'. Orgill's Ray, 

 try Pride of the Border out of Dimity, and second to Fred, 

 an undersized black, white and tan dog, by Kink out of Mol- 

 he. Daniel Webster, last year's winner, and a magnificent 

 specimen of an Lnglish seller, was only V. H. C. We pre- 

 ferred him to either of the others. Another excellent dog 

 unnoticed was Mr. Hammond's Put, bred from Ethan Allin's 

 old Slock. If Dash ill. is the type of au English setter Put 

 should be also, as in general eoucormaliou, measurement, etc., 

 he is almost his counterpart, whereas Bay is totally different, 

 being lighter, longer coupled and with a narrower head. In 

 the ijitch class first went to Mell, a handsome blue belton, 

 owned by Mr. L. P. Whitman, of Detroit. The handsome 

 Abbey look second. In the puppy eluss three were noticed 

 out ot the twenty entered, arid strange to say, each one of 

 the three were sued by Gladstone out of different bitches. 



In the champion class for red Pish setters, as Berkley and 

 Elcho were not competing, the contest lay between Kory O'- 

 Moore, Ben and Race. All thiee looked superbly, hut Ben 

 had the best of it in coat and color, and, we think, deservedly 

 won. In the bitch class Fire Fly had but one competitor. 

 In the open imported clats Derg was again victorious, as he 

 could not well help being, second going to a new candidate, 

 Don, owned by Mr. Cause of Wilmington. Little Flora was 

 first in the bitch class, and a beautiful bitch she is for a small 

 one, with a neat head and capital shoulders and chest. Sec- 

 ond weni to the Toledo Kennel Club's Doll by Bufus. A 

 very handsome bitch in this class was Captain Emerson's 

 Huoy, purchased from Mr. Macdoua, There were some very 

 handsome puppies shown, the winner, Dash-Elcho, and his 

 litter brother, Claremont, belonging to Mr. Pope, being re- 

 markably promising. There were also a brace by Mr. Mac- 

 dona's Hover, exhibited by Capt. Emerson— hardy, work- 

 manlike dogs, possessing the peculiar head of their sire. It 

 might be worthy of nole that, with the exception of this brace 

 and a puppy by Pat, every entry in the class was sired by 

 Elcho. 



With one or two exceptions, the native Irish class waB a 

 poor one. The first prize winner among the dogs, Arlington, 

 is well coated and colored, but struck us as being rather light 

 behind. Mr. Everett Smith's Oale, who took second honors, 

 was a better built dog, but lighter in color. We are inclined 

 to think that judges lay loo much stress on color — which, in 

 " Sfonehenge's " scale, scores but 5 points— and ignore form. 

 In the bitch class the Baltimore Jxennel Club's Philadelphia 

 purchase, Flirt, was again Hi at . and Mr. Everett Smith's 

 giaud bitch (.again beaten by color) Cora II. was next. The 

 Goruons were good. In the champion classes, Rupert, whose 

 tan is altogether too dark and not well defined on the muzzle, 

 beat Trump, and Nellie, the .New York winner, had a walk- 

 over, as Mr. Gedeffroy's Beauty was absent, In the open 

 class Grouse, of course, won ; but the winner of so many 

 pusses seemed out of place in an open class. The winner of 

 the Becond prize, Duke of the East., is out of champion Lou 

 hy Mr. Weob's Duke, and is a fine, rangey dog, with an ex- 

 cellent head and well defined markings, although his coal is 

 not guite what it should be, being a httle too wavy behind. 

 He is owned by Mr. Davis, of Providence. Among the dogs 

 in this class which attracted our attention was Mr, Brownell's 

 Dash (Doane'a Tom-Ohloe), and also Sam, of the same litter, 

 we believe, owned by Mr. Mudge, of Boston. In judging 

 Gordon setters, particularly since "StonehrjngeV standard 

 has been adopted, we believe that sufficient stress is not laid 

 upon the markings, a point upon which great stress is laid by 

 the authorities, in the bitch class Mr. Lawrence Curtis' 

 beautiful bitch Bess was deservedly first, and Pansy, bred 

 from the stock ot Mr. Howe, of Princeton, N. J., second. 



(there were but three entries in the champion pointer class, 

 and the two little lemon and whites, Sefton and Bush, had 

 but small chance against the great, slashing Bow, a dog who 

 has improved very much since we saw him in New York in 

 "78 and who is now a magnificent specimen of the large 

 pointer, it is hardly fair to judge large and small pointers 

 together, even in champion classes. Three bitches contended, 

 and the award went to Rose over her half-sister, Clytie, and 

 the black, Gillespie's Fan, the New York winner, and now 



the property of Mr. Barker, of Boston. Rose is a beautiful 

 bitch, and so is Clytie ; hut judged strictly by points, we be- 

 lieve Fan the equal of either. In the opon class for large 

 dogs the St. Louis Kennel Club's Faust, recently imported, 

 exeiled general attention and, we may say, admiration. He 

 is a grand dog, very much like Bow in appearance; not so 

 good a head, being rather throaty, hut better in the loin and 

 hind quarters. They are a grand brace of dogs, and one that 

 any owner might feel proud of. It was scarcely right, how- 

 ever, we think, for Faust, a winner of first prize at Birming- 

 ham, Crystal Palace and Alexandra Palace, to compete in an 

 open class. Hex, the New York winner, was second, and de- 

 servedly so. There were a number of good dogs in this class. 

 Mr. Coffin's Rake II. , Air. Hammond's Brock and Mr. Cor- 

 coran's Rattler were all fine specimens of the large pointer, 

 hut only the first named was noticed. In the bitch class the 

 black Princess, big with whelp, but with a coat like satin, 

 was first, and Maud, one of the get of Strong's Pete, was 

 second, in the small dog class Pete, Jr., a black dog by old 

 Pete, was placed first, but we could not concur in the deci- 

 sion. We thought Snipfi, by Sensation out of Bel!c, a much 

 more deserving dog, and also Chiswick (Flake-Lilly), and 

 also superior to the second prize winner, Dash ; but only the 

 winners were noticed. In the bitch class, another of the St. 

 Louis Kennel Club's importations, Zeal, a liver aud white, 

 was first, aud Fly, a bitch we thought inferior to either Mr. 

 Orgill's Puby or Crystal, was second. Absentees reduced 

 the puppies to half a dozen, the best of which was the New 

 York winner, Lola (late Beauty), by Sensation out of Juno 

 (the dam of Flake aud Whisky), who repeated her victory. 

 A very handsome lot of puppies not competing, aud by Snap- 

 shot, out of Queen, she by Sensation out of Juno, were shown 

 by J. 0. Lewis, of Providence. 



There were but two Chesapeake Bay dogs shown, the Bal- 

 timore Kennel Club taking first with Rover. The Irish water 

 spaniel class was quite a large one, but ihe judging, we think, 

 erroneous. First prize was well placed when it went to Mack, 

 the prize winner at New York, but second went to a dog 

 with a white breast and poor coat and top-knot. A much 

 better selection would have been Judy, who has been a win- 

 ner, we think, for two years in New York, and is orthodox 

 as to the required points. In the retrieving spaniels, other 

 than Irish, first prize was well bestowed on Sport, exhibited 

 by T. M. Aldrich, of Providence. Cockers were a fair class, 

 and first went to a little beauty, with straight coat and per 

 feet ears, Gip, exhibited by I). P. Boswortb, of New "\ orl:. 

 In the class for field spaniels of any other breed, Trimbush 

 was the only Clumber exhibited, and took first, second going 

 to a black dog, rather too large for a cocker, yet a workman- 

 like fellow. Many of the dogs in this class belonged with 

 the cockers, if they had any status at all. Foxhounds were 

 not good, although Ethan Allin pointed out to us one dog 

 that he said was his for choice, but it only got second. The 

 first prize winner only wanted a few wrinkles to make him a 

 fair English bloodhound, as depicted on the cover of ' ' Stone- 

 henge's' new book. There were but four beagles, and 

 Dodge & Baker's (of Detroit) pair again won. 



Fox terriers made a very handsome show, and we think 

 were well judged. Rattler was again first, and Vixen would 

 probably have been second had she not been protested against 

 as having the mange, a protest which, being supported by the 

 veterinary surgeon, could only be sustained. The second 

 prize winner, Deacon Rasper, is a good httle dog, with a bet- 

 ter jaw than we usually see. Mr. Lawrence's Paulo was also 

 a good one, and so was Mr. Winsor's Turk. Taps, one of 

 Gamester's get, has a good body and head, but is too far from 

 the ground. The mastiff class was a small one, and judging 

 from stall appearances alone we should have changed the 

 positions of the first and second. The St. Bernard class was 

 a very large one, comprising 2u" entries of good quality. Mr. 

 Hames' pair, Don and Harold, were again changed about, Don 

 taking first while Harold was content with a V. H. 0. The 

 mixing the rough and smooth-coated together is a bad plan, 

 and increases the difficulties of the judge. In the bitch class, 

 first went to Fanny, a yellow and white, aud second was with- 

 held. There were four Newfoundlands, three of whom were 

 fair. The "Siberian or Ulms" wefcave no sympathy with, 

 and we believe the biggest and ugliest brute took the prize. 



The collies were fair. In the bull dog class there were but 

 four entries, and the unfortunate Jennie having again been 

 rescued from the bull terrier class, where she usually finds 

 herself, was placed first. The bull' terrier class was a large 

 one, and contained some very fine dogs. The contest lay be- 

 tween AI. Watts' Grab, and Ned, a capital dog shown by E. 

 C. Davis, of Providence, R. I. We fancy it must have been 

 the slight brindle patch on ihe side of Ned's head which caused 

 the judge to put him second, as in other respects he seemed 

 to us to be slightly ahead of Grab. The terriers and toys 

 were about as usual, the only noteworthy thing being the 

 changing of places (Philadelphia) of the Yorkshires Charlie 

 and lieu. 



The judging of the specials, especially the one in which the 

 prize was $500, attracted considerable attention. As we 

 imagined would be the case, this was divided into four prizeB 

 with the consent of the exhibitors, and $125 each went to the 

 English setter Dash III., the Irish setter Ben, the Gordon 

 setter Grouse and the pointer Faust. A list of the other win • 

 ners of special prizes will be found below. The following is 

 a full list of the awards ■
