The first year of the show was the only one in which 

 there were imported English setter puppy classes for both 

 dogs and bitches, and imported and native red Irish set- 

 ters, dog, bitches and puppy; staghouud, poodle and 

 trick dog classes, 



In 1878 the St. Bernards were divided into two classes, 

 rough and smooth coated, and the imported and native 

 English setters were judged under one heading, as were 

 also the red Irish setters. The spaniels were separated 

 into classes of the different breeds, and many classes 

 were opened for both dogs and bitches under their respec- 

 tive headings. 



In 1879 the red Irish setters were divided into two 

 classes, namely, red Irish setters and red and white set- 

 ters, and the imported and native English setters still 

 remained Under one heading. 



"We now come to the present year, which we consider 

 has the simplest classification yet arrived at. The Eng- 

 lish setters have again been divided into imported and 

 native classes ; the red dogs of the previous year are to 

 be found hunched together. 



Referring to the account of the first show, given in the 

 Forest and Stream of May 17th, 1877, we see that "the 

 actual entries, including specials, were 1,195, and allow- 

 ing for puppies and collections covered by single entries, 

 there were probably 1,200 animals on exhibition." In the 

 next year, as shown, there was a failing off in the entries, 

 but the interest revived again during last year, as there 

 was a large increase in the total list, and particularly in 

 the sporting class, which is shown in a carefully prepared 

 table further on. The decrease in entries for the year 

 1878 was mainly due to the number of diseased dogs ex- 

 hibited in the initial show, and this would point to the 

 necessity of not only a thorough but a competent exam- 

 ination of every animal that is sent to the Garden of this 

 year, as fcke dog-owning public cannot be expected to 

 enter its valuable stock if it is not to be in every way 

 protected. Last year the managers having found this 

 out, took every precaution against the entrance of ani- 

 mals suffering from either mange or distemper, and we 

 have reason to believe that the same systematized pre- 

 cautions will be doubly in force this year. 



The Forest and Stream of April 3d, 1879, in its conclu- 

 ding remarks regarding the last exhibition, says that 

 "it was an unprecedented success in the annals of the 

 dog shows in this country, and as far as the sporting 

 classes were concerned the number was believed to be 

 greater than had ever been shown in England."

We believe that the above needs no comment, the only 

 item really pal ling for particular attention being the en- 

 tries in the English setter class ; this is found to be a 

 large increase on previous years, which is mainly due to 

 the opening of a separate class for native dogs. 



As we propose giving a full description of this interest- 

 ing exhibition in subsequent issues, we have decided not 

 to allude further at this time to the individual entries, 

 until we can speak of them as something we have seen! 

 It may, however, be interesting to our readers to state 

 that the entries are from almost every State in the 

 Union, including New York, New Jersey, Massachusetts 

 Maine, California, Missouri, Illinois. Ohio, Indiana, Ken- 

 tucky, Maryland, Pennsylvania, Virginia, North and 

 South Carolina, Delaware, Rhode Island, Connecticut 

 Michigan, 'Wisconsin, District of Columbia, from Eng- 

 land and Ireland, and from the following points in Can- 

 ada : London, Toronto, Montreal and Chatham 



The two foremost competitors for the special to be award- 

 ed tor the largest and best; collection oi animals owned and 

 exhibited by one person or club, are Mr. A. E. Godeffroy, 



of Guymard, N. Y., who sends twenty-six, and Mr. A. 

 II. Moore, of Philadelphia, whose contribution aggregates 

 twenty. 



The arrangement of the Garden will be entirely differ- 

 ent from that of former years. There will be no stalls 

 around the outer edge of the floor. Six double rows "ill 

 be run the entire length of the building, beginning at the 

 rows of pillars at either side, except that space enough 

 will be left at the Madison avenue side for a large oval 

 ring, in which the sporting classes are to be judge!, and 

 a broad aisle, through the center from Twenty-sixth to 

 the Twenty-seventh street side. The aisles between the 

 stalls will be ten feet wide, and that around the ellipse 

 thirteen feet wide, which will give ample room for spec- 

 tators, and at the same time enable the managers to pro- 

 vide for all the dogs on the floor. A platform for the 

 judging of the non-sporting classes will be erected in the 

 recess formerly occupied by the cascade. Where the 

 soda water stand formerly stood Mr. A. E. Godeffroy will 

 have a house twelve feet square, containing staffed 

 specimens of all the game birds and fur-bearing animals 

 of America, In it will also be exhibited four otter-hounds 

 now on the way from England, and the first ever im- 

 ported to this 'country. The wants of the dogs will be 

 looked after by forty-three attendants, who will be uni- 

 formed in white caps and brown hunting coats. Many of 

 the exhibitors have announced their intention of draping 

 their stalls handsomely. The Garden will otherwise be 

 decorated with flowers and pictures, and will present an 

 attractive appearance. An entirely new set of stalls has 

 been contracted for. They are 110V being constructed. 

 The carpenters will begin putting them up at 11 o'clock 

 on next Saturday night, and the work is to be completed 

 at midnight on Sunday. By Monday night all the dogs 

 from a distance will be housed within' the building.

MARYLAND FOX HUNTING. 



Clarksburg, Md., April 13th, 



IN no State in the. Union is fox hunting enjoyed to such 

 a degree as in Maryland. A number of clubs have 



been formed and a 



resteadi 



ly on the increase. Especially 



are the Bahimon 



, Howa 



nl and Anna Arundel clubs 



popular, their men 



ts being 



looked forward to with great 



u.teresl, especially

and ti- 



li boots and blue riding-cap, 



came off last Sati 



ir. 1 .', u 



Pleasant Valley, midway be- 



I, ween Clarksburi 



By 10 o'clock over forty members of the club had ar- 

 rived on the grounds, accompanied by ladies, who desired 

 to participate in the chase, which has been the theme of 

 conversation for the past week. Several hundred specta- 

 tors were present by invitation of the club. 



i about forty ; the most

 nsoftbc Irish hound

 These dogs are vete» 



The pack of dogs at 

 of them had arrived the. day befoj 

 a large tobacco house, presenting 

 appearance. Some splendid speck 

 were noticeable, especially Hot ai 

 tively by S. T. and J. F. Wifliai 



rans in the chase, and are well known to the lovers of 

 this sport as reliable and faithful footers. 



Tie Burdettes introduced a splendid pack of twelve, 

 including Speed and lannie, by Curl Burdette ; Scot and 

 Bell, by Thos. A. Burdette ; Charmer and House Carroll, 

 by Basil Burdette; Bell and Forman, by Morton Bur- 

 dette ; several by John Ed. Burdette, Dr. Burdette and 

 Dick Austin, showing some fine specimens of the English 

 foxhound, and exhibiting in the run fine points during 

 the day. 



Mr. George Pope's entry of four, were noticeable for 

 their clean and shapely appearance and staying qualities ; 

 also James King's and Clem. Barbour's pack of five, that 

 gave evidence of being thoroughly acquainted with the re- 

 quirements of the occasion. 



The fox was a splendid specimen of the red Reynard 

 family, which was captured about ten days previous by 

 Carl Burdette on Ten Mile Creek, near Boyd's Station, 

 Baltimore and Ohio Railroad, and preserved for this 

 occasion. 



"When the horn was sounded and the hunters assem- 

 bled on the open plateau, facing "Parr's Ridge," and en- 

 abling all to see the start, the fox was given his freedom 

 in the open meadow, and soon gave evidence that his late 

 captivity had not caused him to forget his usual cunning 

 and adroitness. 



After running a short distance he crossed the stream of 

 water that forms the head of Big Seneca and moved up 

 the slope of the hill leading through the orchard, and 

 finding that he was not pursued, he stopped and took a 

 long survey of the surroundings. The outlook proving 

 satisfactory, he indulged in a good roll and then started 

 for cover in the direction of Clarksburg. It had been de- 

 cided to give him a half hour start before turning the 

 dogs loose, allowing him ample time to recover from his 

 late confinement and get a good start. 



The riders mounted and the dogs were released from 

 their confinement, and immediately took the trail, filling 

 the air with their musical notes as they bounded along 

 over hedge and fence. 



The members of the club and invited guests and horse- 

 men joined in hot pursuit ; owing to a break in the dogs, 

 the company parted, and some of the best riders were 

 deceived by a false dog, and were thrown entirely out of 

 the run. But to those who had horses equal to the task 

 and took the low scrub oak on the north side of the ridge 

 and rode close up with the leaders, the run was a fine 

 one. 



The fox made directly for his old haunts on Ten Mile 

 Creek, crossing the Frederick road, just below Clarks- 

 burg, and giving a line view of the chase from Shaw's 

 Hill. Sir Reynard seemed to realise the grandeur of the 

 occasion, and although closely followed by the dogs he 

 succeeded in doubling- on them and took the back track, 

 when Booze, owned by Col. Boyd, and a recent importa- 

 tion from the kennel of Lord Bateman, of the Royal 

 Huntsman Club, ''took the foot" and opened on the back 

 track, where ho was met by the return of the dogs on the 

 false scent. Those who had followed the footer sounded 

 their horns and gave their misguided friends the genuine 

 start. 



He was so closely pursued by the dogs that he doubled 

 by Gus well, and crossed above Clarksburg on the Fred- 

 erick road, through the grounds of Tom Anderson's ma- 

 chine shop and through John Lewis' farm, closely fol- 

 lowed by the dogs through Mr. Edward Waters' farm 

 two miles below Clarksburg on the read to Boyd's, when 

 he was compelled to take refuge in a hollow tree on the 

 place of Mr. Edward Waters. Here the services of Tom 

 Snowden, the champion colored fox hunter and keeper 

 of the hounds, was brought mto requisition with his axe. 

 Tom delights to follow the hounds and be in at the death. 

 Tom boou brought down the tree, and Sir Reynard was 

 again transferred to the lock. So hard was he pushed by 

 the dogs that he had encroached upon the rights of a, 

 large raccoon, which was confiscated and added to the 

 spoils. After a run of thirty miles, in which were many 

 who started in the morning fresh and eager for the sport, 

 but who had found many a mishap on the way, they assem- 

 bled at the residence of Col. Boyd, where the toils and 

 excitements were remembered in a social banquet pro- 

 Tided for the occasion, Col. J. H. S. Boyd. 



Hallock's Dog Fancteiis' Directory and Medical 

 GUIDE.— Mr. Chas. 1 lalloek has prepared a timely little 

 hook of the above title, designed for the convenience of 

 dog owners. It comprises, first, an extended list of the 

 principal owners of dogs throughout the country, with
