THE KENNEL CLUB AND ITS RULERS. 



I WAS so completely taken aback by a statement in the 

 letter of Mr. J. H. Murchison, published in the Field a. 

 fortnight ago, that I could uotreplv until I had satisfied my- 

 self as to facts. 



Mr. Murchison, in reference to the black mail rule of the 

 Kennel Olhb, attempts to justify it by showing th.-ir. the 

 National Coursing Club club do a similar thing. He says 

 "The National Coursing Club have lately adopted the same 

 rule and fee. and it may be well to note that it is composed 

 of representatives from the principal coursing clubs in the 

 kingdom."' 



As I was sure Mr. Murchison would not make a misstate- 

 ment intentionally, and as I remember he was no novice in 

 coursing, having, I believe, once held a nomination for Che 

 ■Waterloo cup, his words wore to me, in the language of Mr. 



Mr Murchison is right in saying the National Coursing 

 Club is a representative body, and had it imposed the tax he, 

 speaks of on the coursing public, its representative character 

 wouhl have been its e.veuse or jusMTn-ation for I he. act: bin. 



Mr. Murchison and the Kenurl (,'„.., v/-- 

 m-s I cannot admire, compare tin wc.

 C which rule is. I repeat, a subsidy t<

But 



■kofthoN. C, C. with 

 registration of the K. 

 the paper run in the 



K. C. gives away the surplus or 

 profit, made, and that may be; but by what, right do they 

 f.-e,| i heir own paper with the shillings of I lie oiihlie. and 

 po-e a< liberal donor, with the surplus. 



Not only is the K. C. registry of names utterly useless, hut, 

 evenifitwereofuse.it is a bad shilling's worth, the work 

 being ill done. I quote as a sample the lirst greyhound on the. 

 list in this month's Knnn-I <;<tr..-tt< — "Artilleryman, d, Mr. T. 

 Jones's, by Gunnei -Amor, Feb., IS7.S." How is that dog to 

 be identified by the register? 



Now, as to the "Boycotting" of Darlington, I wish to ob- 

 serve that it is not an isolated ease; and it is not only to 

 shows that coercion is applied, but public expression of 

 opinion would be choked if the K. 0. had the p.. wet. Had 1 

 only myself to consider, 1 would speak more plainly; but 

 there are those of the Kennel Club who will know what I 

 mean. 



Mr. Murchison would make out the Darlington letter to be 



hoax: I do not take that view. It is more than twelve 

 lonths since Mr. George Lowe, then Secretary to the Kennel 



Club, told 



ne it was in contemplation to 



lent fco Mr 



Doyle's resolution, and that 



another n

i how 



far the club could with safety to its own interests go. and the. 

 canine public has been so prompt in showing its teeth that 

 now we see the usual spectacle when dogs bark boldly and 

 suddenly retire into the keunel. Mr. Murchison is one of 

 those who believe the Kennel Club exists for the improve- 

 ment of dogs and dog shows, and there is something very re- 

 freshing in the simplicity of his faith. I wish I could sub- 

 scribe to his creed, but there arc ton many ugly facts in the 

 way. 



When men who extensively deal in clogs elect each other to 

 judge each others' dogs against those of the outside public, 



iy do not take a very sensible wav of convincing people of 



r disiuterestcdn

DOGS FOR COURSING LARGE GAME.-Glendive, M. T., 

 Aug. 10, 1883.— Editor forest rind Streqm: Hunters in this 

 part of the world don't know much about dogs. 1 suppose it 

 is because they don't read the kennel columns of Foukst and 

 Stream. What we need in this rough country is a dog of 

 great courage and speed, and good feet, rho pricklv pear or 

 cactus, and the sharp stones of the "Bad Lands." arc very 

 severe on the feet. We have many greyhounds, some very fine 

 ones, but they haven't the "sand'" they run fast enough to 

 pick up a deer, or mountain sheep, or a wolf, but will detain 

 neither for an instaut, unless several arc together, the same 

 fault is found with the Scotch stag hound, while both have 

 good feet. 1 have crossed a splendid Scotch stag houud bitch 

 with a large briudle bulldog of great sagacity and courage; 

 the pups are now four mouths old and have spleudid feet and 

 promise good size and courage. I will report the result ihis 

 coming winter. What do you "dog men say to a cross of 

 this kindf The bull dog has a line scent and staying qualities, 

 but is too slow. Wo want something to pick up wounded 

 deer or antelope and hold it until the hunter comes up.— H. S. 

 fWo hope our correspondent will report the result of his ex- 

 periment. The same cross has been tried among the hills of 

 Scotlaud, but was abandoned, as the animals, with more cour- 

 age than discretion, would pitch in regardless, generally with 

 disastrous results to themselves. With our game, however, the 

 cross may prove satisfactory and we shall await with no little 

 interest the report of the result.] 



DEATH OFTHE IRISH WOLFHOUND VIXEN.— Prof. H. 

 B. Roney, of East Saginaw, Mich., has had the misfortune to 

 lose by death his imported Irish wolfhound bitch Vixen, from 

 heart disease. He still has Dragon, her mate, who is now the 

 sole representative in this country of this famous but almost 

 extinct breed. We trust that Prof. Roncy will be able to se- 

 cure another one to take her place, as undoubtedly these 

 dogs, with their great speed and high courage, would prove 

 invaluable, to the large game hunters of the far W— t.
