fFOEEST AND STEEAM. 



marked the first three dogs in the class as likely to furnish 

 a winner among them, particularly Mack, a lemon and 

 white, and Dick, a blaek and white, both very handsome 

 dogs, and, as we afterwards learned, from a* stock which 

 has been bred pure in Marylacd for many years. That we 

 were not very far out, is shown in the fact that in the bitch 

 class, Bess, an own sister to Mack, whom we had also 

 marked as a winner, was placed first. It was pleasant to 

 see one of old Busters stock placed, although it was only 

 an H. C, second honors being taken by Kate, a lemon and 

 white entered by the St. Louis Kennel Club, but really the 

 property of Mr. T. S, Demuth, of Fort Dodge, Iowa. 

 Among the dogs in this class were three entered by Mr. 

 Jno. E. Reyburn, of Philadelphia, which, although per- 

 haps not quite up to bench show standard, we doubt not, 

 in the field, possess all requisite qualities. Among the 

 puppies, Guy, an orange and white dog by Mort'ord's 

 Don, was first for his sex, but although a handsome dog he 

 was not quite up to the Morford standard, having light nose 

 and eyes. The Irish were, numerically, not well rep- 

 resented. Of course the St. Louis Kennel Club could not 

 well be beaten with Elcho and Loo II. In fact, in the dog 

 class, they had but Oie competitor, Buck, exhibited by Mr. 

 Miley, of Lancaster, Pa. A protest was entered against 

 this dog, both here and in the special, for the best Irish 

 dog with two of his get, on the grounds, first: that his 

 name is not Buck, but York, and again that there was a 

 doubt as to the parentage of the puppies exhibited with 

 him. There were no imported dog puppies entered, and 

 in the bitch class, Mr. Dorrance, of Wilkesbarre, had a 

 walk over with Shiela, a remarkably well grown and fine 

 appearing gyp by Plunkett out of Stella, but possessing the 

 white spot with which Plunkett appears to. stamp most of 

 his get, and which we confess we do not like. Gordons, 

 particularly the dogs, were a remarkably fine class. Mr. 

 Marbles' Grouse repeated his Springfield performance, and 

 secured first honors, a decision in which we heartily 

 concur. Grouse's quality is remarkable, and his tan we 

 believe is not equalled in the richness of its red by that of 

 any dog in the country. Mr. Whitman's Grand Duke was 

 second, but we should rather have seen the position occu- 

 pied by Mr. Jenkin's grand old dog Hero, now twelve years 

 old, and sired by "Idstone's" celebrated Old Kent. Both, 

 however, displayed the same fault— too much lumber. 

 In bitches Mr. Tileston was first, with Lou, a position we 

 had marked for Mr. Jenkins Alice, a lovely bitch, and of 

 perfect breeding, an opinion, as regards positions, which 

 we maintained until after the judging, when Mr. Davidson 

 explained to us the points of difference. Lou, although 

 short in the head and of less perfect tan, won by her coat, 

 feather, legs and general build. We were glad to see our 

 friend, Dr. S. Fleet Spier, of Brooklyn, exhibiting a fine 

 lot of puppies by his Gypsum, all dogs; and Mr. Munu's 

 stock was represented by two gyps shown by Mr. J. 

 Addison Smith, they being by old Duke of Gordon out of 

 Dream. 



The pointers, taken throughout, were probably much 

 better in quality than are usually exhibited. The recent 

 impoLtation of the Westminster Kennel Club, Don, now 

 known as Sensation, headed the list in the heavy class be- 

 yond a question, and was the observed of all observers. 

 He has a head such as is rarely seen on a pointer in this 

 country, the real English type, square nose, with what 

 Idslone calls a well defined "stop" between his eyes. If 

 any fault is to be found with him i*^ is behind his loins, but 

 even here his slight lack of muscle, or "swell," may be 

 owing to his recent sea voyage. His tail may be a trifle 

 coarse, but, although there are undoubtedly more perfect 

 types in England, and possibly in this country, we ques- 

 tion if anything better has ever been imported. Mr. 

 Schuchard'siNed, a black and white dog byCapt. Grafton's 

 Jim out of Whisky, was deservedly second, and Mr. 

 Coffin's Ponto, a liver colored, workmanlike dog, was 

 highly commended. In the large bitch classes the Co- 

 lumbus Kennel Club were first, with a fine liver and white 

 ticked bitch, and Mr. Tilghman second, with a venerable 

 matron of twelve summers of the same color, who, judg- 

 ing from some of her prognv present breeds good ones. 

 The Westminster Kennel Club showed a brace, Daisy 

 and Flirt, tbe former of whom Was entered erroneously in 

 this class, being under fifty pounds. They are both litter 

 sisters to Jim, second prize winner, being out of Whisky, 

 and had the markings so fashionable in England forty 

 years ago, white, with liver heads. In the sarall class Mr. 

 Steel's Flake had no peer among the dogs, and looked as fine 

 as silk. It is difficult to pick a flaw in Flake, his extreme 

 fineness, if it is one, being the nearest approach. Mr. 

 Turner's Tell, a splendid liver colored dog, would have 

 been first in almost any other company, and many thought 

 him closer than he actually was. In the samll bitch class 

 the Columbus Kennel Club exhibited a black bitch, Fan, 

 whose breeding is unkuown, but whose quality is un- 

 deniable, and we would fain bow to Mr. Davidson's judg- 

 ment. Not so, however, as regards second place. Lilly, 

 although a beautiful little bitch, and a Field Trial winner, 

 we think should have changed places with Whisky, litter 

 sister to Flake, who received an H. C. In the puppies Mr. 

 Orgill showed a brace by Flake out of Lilly, that were 

 simply superb, one, Kose, being perhaps the finest speci- 

 men of a pointer puppy ever shown in this country. Old 

 Phil's stock was represented by the Westminster Kennel 

 Clubs, Dinah, by the Champion Pete out of Phillis; also 

 by old Phil, a very handsome black bitch, but just over 

 distemper, and scarcely in show condition. 



In the succeeding classes, comprising fox hounds, har- 

 riers, etc., there were scarcely the number of entries we 

 should have expected to see in a Maryland show. Dr. 

 Twaddeli showed those wonderful and perfect dachshunds 

 of his, and we can state most positively that they are not 

 cast iron. The Chesapeake Bay Duck dogs, as might be 

 expected, were out in strong force, and as will be seen in 

 another column, a scale of points has been adopted for 

 judging them in future; in the present instance we must 

 be pardoned if we do not criticise them. There appeared 

 to be at least three distinct types represented, each of 

 which possessed claims for all the qualities required. Mr. 

 Whitman, who came all the way from Chicago, unfortu- 

 nately had no competition among the Irish water spaniels, 

 nor was he successful in the class for retrieving spaniels, 

 other than pure Irish, in which Mr. Latrobe was first with 

 his Scamp, but it must have been for some other reason 

 than their top knot that the judge (as was stated) discarded 

 Mr. Whitman's dogs, as the top knot is mentioned by all 

 authorities as a distinguishing mark of thia dog. There 

 were but three fox terriers exhibited, and we eaonofc criti- 

 cise the awards of the juflgpsi of a ol&ps, the points of whlek 



we admit we are totally ignorant; doubtless their judg- 

 ment was correct, and we heard no murmurs, 



Our space will not permit us to go into details as regards 

 the non-sporting classes. Capt. Taylor, in spite of that 

 little joke about the prick ears, was well qualified to judge 

 them, and the awards will be found below. The specials 

 so closely followed the awards in the general classes that 

 no remark is necessary : —
