 so much. 



St. Bernards. — Godeffroy's rough coated Marco, by 

 Maedona's Pasha, out of Prince Solms' Minca, deservedly 

 received the blue ribbon. He was an animal of majestic 

 form, of liou color, with yellow and black markings, and 

 a typical dog of his class. The second and third are also 

 excellent specimens. It was a class to be proud to win 

 in. Only two entries marked the rough coated bitch 

 class, Thome's Sheila coming first. The smooth 

 strain were a fair lot. especially those of Haiue's kennel. 

 Judy, belonging to this owner," orange tawny and white 

 in color, of good size and substance'; with excellent legs 

 •■"id feet, received first, with AYTdghell's Maria, a, good 

 second. 



Nkwkoundlands.— This was a grand class, one of the 

 ibest in the show, and in looking at WoOormiclt'e Charlie 

 a lover of this breed had a thoroughly typical dog b 

 study from. This winner of first was of tit '" 

 so fashionable now in England : a splendid 

 absence of the faulty earl on the bead. Pry 

 Second prize, we did" not like as well as Alex's 

 although he had the pure " Cato " coat. Tin 

 was very highly mentioned, was a grand animal, put 

 deficient iu coat, as it was too curly. "Meier's Turk, V. 

 1:1. C, was a very representative type of the Laudseer 

 Kewfoundland. He was the only one iu his class, and he 

 received in his recumbent position the ovation which the 

 great artist's picture has won for him the world over. 

 Being cow-hocked was his principal fault. Our remarks 

 above on puppies may also apply to this class, but we 

 consider them at best but a poor lot. 



Siberians. — Another of the grandest classes in the 

 show. They were all very large and powerful, but some 

 of them showed too much of the mastiff and too little of 

 the hound, first went to a fine black and spotted dog. 

 Van Scbade's Sultan. Second prize, Keller's Lyon, also 

 to a good dog, but not of as good form as first. This old 

 stager won last year. A third prize, extra, was begged 

 by the judge, Dr. Stables, for Mrs. Email's Rex, a re- 

 markably fine animal, who promises later on to come to 

 the, front in any show. Dr. Marshall's Bosko, a mouse 

 colored dog, received a V. H. C. He was the Goliath of 

 the show, and weighed 17G lbs. 



GuivHorNDS.— This was a fair class, with fifteen en- 

 tries. Sfiner's mouse colored Prince, a rare good dog, 

 received first, with Colt's Rosette, a, pretty and shapely 

 bitch, as second. We rather fancied Bartlett's Viscount, 

 a splendid dog of good color, grand depth of chest, with 

 muscles in hind quarters and shoulders showing power 

 enough to carry him to the fore, but with a too great cir- 

 cumference of the loin. Walton's thoroughbred also re- 

 ceived mention, but though an excellent animal there 

 was deficiency in loin to place him alongside of the win- 

 ners, 



Dee R i [ounds. — This class of now more ornamen tal than 

 useful breed of dogs was mainly filled up with excellent 

 specimens from the kennels of the two neighbors, Messrs. 

 I ),in:i and Barlow, As a rule, however, the whole lot had 

 bad feet, Dana's iron gray dog, Glen, and Barlow's 

 grayish brindle, both excellent in coat, received first and 

 .second. But taking the class from a deerstalker's point 

 of view, wo were particularly well pleased with Howard's 

 Moidart," which was deservedly very highly commended. 

 Utmost alwaysbe remembered that the dog that, is strong 

 in neck and combines pow™ -

Pointers, Shall Size.— There were many good dogs 

 n this class, and many were passed unnoticed that de- 

 served the highest mention, Iu the dog class Richmond's 

 Snipe secured first, a fine lemon and while, sprightly- 

 looking fellow. Truslow's Range followed with second, 

 with a very much better head than Snipe's. Third was 

 awarded to a liver and while dog of three years old. 

 yclept Sam. exhibited by Horace Sin ith. which in .ner pel,. 

 incut was far better than either first or second. He was 

 all over a very handsome animal, with an exceedingly 

 fine head, many points of which were unusually well de- 

 fined — such as the character and position of the eyes, 

 breadth of forehead, line of demarkation indicating the 

 division between the lobes of the cebrum and the drop 

 below the forehead almost perfect. Wood's Ponto de- 

 served mention, as he had an excellent head, and Price s 

 Sefton II., also unnoticed, took too much after his sire to 

 be passed without notice. In the bitches Symington's 

 Rose (Flake-Lilly) received first. Livingston's Rose, 

 lemon and white', whom we liked, second : and Cornell's 

 Queen May third, and Roach's ' Queen II. a V. H. C. 

 Price's Lady Sefton. unnoticed, was very worthy of high 

 commendation, and the other entries that were ribboned 

 deserved all they got. We cannot quite follow the judges 

 in their awards here, recognized authority that they are. 

 How they passed unnoticed Moore's Countess Bang, 'when 

 she was the best in the class, shows that it is full lime 

 that some new sytem to prevent such mistakes was 

 adopted. Can it be that there are too many cooks r and 

 would it be well to try a, one man's ruling for a change ? 

 Oounless Bang is one of Moore's recent importations ; she 

 is PV Bang, out of Bella ; a remarkably fine little bitch, 

 with great depth of chest, good body and a clean, neat, 

 well-proportioned bead, with unusual muscular develop- 

 ment in hind quarters. Bred to go— as she does— like a 

 Hash, and said to have an excellent nose. The dog pup- 

 pics numbered twenty-six entries, and for the im uln 

 was not as good a class as it should have been, There 

 were, however, several excellent youngsters, Lamb's 

 flash (Snapshot-Elf) headed the list with first, a very 

 promising puppy. Stout's Piece (Rake II. -Juno), a whit, 



and liver dog of eight months, second, The otl 



class that received mention got only their

Champion English Setters.— This class or dogs, 

 which may be aptly termed the seven champions of 

 Christendom, was a'sight well worth seeing. Speir's Ca- 

 llous St. Elmo adding another ribbon to his large collec- 

 ( Ion of trophies, and also winning the special prize as the 

 best English setter at the show, Moore's Leicester was 

 e but Purges' Druid and Livingston's Ray both 

 crowded the winner, Mrs. Moore's Lark being mil of the 

 race. Magraw's Royal Duke and Lincoln & Hejlyar's 

 Frank H., the two other entries, made up the eoinple- 

 mentabove named. In the bitches, Arnold Burges won 

 in a canter with Queen Slab. Steai ns' Pearl, a finely de- 

 veloped and well proportioned bitch, with superb loins, 

 also attracted our attention. Charles' Rose, Kina, Flor- 

 ence andDaisy were benched together in one stall ; they 

 are a handsomely marked lot of blue Beltons, and show 

 to best advantage when grouped together. 



Imported English Setters.— By far the best class of 

 the show, combining a splendid lot of dogs, auch as are 

 seldom ever seen at any exhibition. Fay's Coin (Lei- 

 cester-Rose) received first, and Diane's Lofty second. It 

 was nip and tuck between these superb animals, and. on 

 the whole, a fairly judged class, barring the non-mention

Native English Setters. — Tim dog class being the 



largest in the show, it closed with sixty-live entries. 

 There was an immense dumber of weedB, as may be gup* 

 posed, but when these were gotten rid of there were 

 left some splendid specimens. We were disappointed 

 with the entries as a class, and more so with the judg- 

 ing. By the selection of Walter's Grouse, a fine, large 

 American orange and white, and then turning to Lin- 

 coln & Hellya.r's Afton. a small roan of entirely dif- 

 ferent type, for second, the classifying became hope- 

 lessly mixed, as no direct line of" breed or type was 

 followed out. To our mind Afton was bv far the 

 best of the lot. and we are backed in this opinion 

 by Mr. Dalziel, wdio did not judge in this class, I ' 

 idson's Cassils justly got third, and should have been 

 second. Goodwins'" Grouse Dale, of field trial note, 

 came in for a V. H. C; tin's splendid animal is certainly 

 of better tvpe than his sire, the first winner, Duane's 

 large black dog. Chance, deservedly received high men- 

 tion, and later on secured the club medal, in the spe- 

 cial prizes, for best black dog in the show. G ' 



Lothair was unnoticed, but he is a really good-all-over 

 dug and should have had u ribbon. In the bitches there 

 were forty-eight entries. Davidson's Abbess (Affou-Fan- 

 nie) first. "a tiptop black while and tan ; Tubman's Jen- 

 nie second, and Well's Dido (Druid-Star), third. As we 

 have already alluded above lo the mistake made while 

 ; i liis olaSS, it is not, necessary to remark upon 

 it further. We believe it led inadvertently to the shut- 

 ting out of Dido from first place, as she was the best, 

 to our mind, in the class, and in Ibis opinion we are 

 indorsed by several of the best authorities. Dido is 

 an exceedingly well-proportioned bitch, with excellent 

 bead, fine face, and well-cut muzzle ; good in size and 

 superb iu substance, a thoroughly typical model of her 

 t.resd Donnei-V: F-'ry rsvav-d :A> II. C and :s in- 

 deed a nice little animal. Scranton's .Jessie I 

 served her verv high mention, and Ha I he v. 

 Bells was a good hitch, although lacking in width be- 

 tween the eyes. Aidrich's Smut also came in for a 

 proper recommendation. In the puppy classes then 

 were fifty-nine entries, thirty for the dogs and twenty- 

 nine for the bitches. Besides the prizes, there were only 

 fifteen mentions, and of then- only one-third were V, U 

 C.s. The class was not a, good one taking it as a whole, 

 and the judging, as far as we could see, was eminently 

 proper. Leavitt's Romulus headed the list of dogs with 

 first, lie was a fine youngster of the owner's Sir Lance- 

 lot and Simmoud's Pull' strain, orange and white in ' 

 and promises to be a good one. Miss Van Vechtens 

 Paul, an immense puppy, was awarded second. Duck- 

 ingham's Flash achieved':! very high mention. He was 

 bv Dash IIP. out Of Daisy Dale. The [,,i,h, i were a
