MR. W. TALLIVIAN'S "FOREMAN." 



bit a King Charles puppy so fiercely, that while he yelped 

 through very pain, yet no indications of ill-humor could he 

 perceived and the cano-human plav went on as full of childish 

 glee and merriment as before. 



I believe it is a true, wiving, that whenever a dog departs 

 from the excellent traits of eaninoship heretofore depicted, 

 and which axe so closely interwoven with its nature, it is 

 rather the fault of the man than the creature. The educator 

 is more to be blamed than the educated. How often have we 

 seen the, noblest qualities of the canine species obtunded and 

 finally destroyed by rough treatment and ill-usage, especially 

 those of a high order of cultivation and sensibility, and finally 

 become distrustful, capricious and, incapable of attachment, 

 and even dangerous. Gnange owners and if kindness is ex- 

 tended towards him, his innate attachment returns and he 

 exhibits that courtesy and fidelity to his new master that 

 friends or relatives entertain towards each other. If you but 

 fairly gain his confidence and friendship, he is all intelligence, 

 fondness and imperturbable, good humor, and places all his 

 happiness in gratifying his master.

FOREMAN. 



OUR illustration this week is of the black, white and tan 

 English setter dog Foreman, winner of second prize in 

 the imported English setter class at the Westminster Kennel 

 Club's late show. He also won second at Pittsburgh last 

 March, his half-brother, Plantagenet, winning first. He is 

 two years old, and is by Mr. J. C. Higgins's Dashing Monarch 

 out of the dam of Thunder, Fairy II. Foreman is a very well 

 formed dog, above the medium size, and bids fair, when 

 mature, to turn out a good one. He is also a capital field dog. 

 -The cut is from a sketch by Harry Talhnan, and is a capital 

 likeness. 



GORDON SETTERS. 



I HAVE read with much interest the articles in your valu- 

 able journal on the black and tan, or Gordon, 'setter, the 

 adaptability of the present scale of points by which he is 

 judged on the bench to his usefulness in the" field, etc., and 

 think there ought to be one class only, as very few dogs can 

 show a clear pedigree back to the Duke of Gordon's kennel, 

 whence their name originated; and even if so. where came 

 his black and tans from? That the existence of black and tan 

 setters did not begin with the Duke of Gordon has been 

 clearly proven long ago: but probably they were selected by 

 hirn as best suited for a mountainous, rough country. 



My earliest recollection of the black and tan, or Gordon, 

 setter was in his native country, nearly forty years ago. He 

 Was then a strong, powerful, handsome' dog, of medium height, 

 a slashing goer, with a brave heart, and natural field qualities 

 inferior to no other setter — for whom no country was too 

 rough, no day too long, no weather too severe. A~drawing- 

 vooiu pet woidd ill have fitted the class of sportsmen that fol- 

 lowed the bold and fearless black and tan, which heeded 

 neither fell nor flood, but gloried in his work and wont with a 

 will. In this country I shot almost entirely over black and 

 tans, from '83 to "3 !, using nine different animals during that 



feriod — they were not Gordons-Shaving bred the first of them 

 ever had out of a liver and tan bitch, whose grandsire was a 

 black and tan of great merit, by an orange and white dog. 

 Tint after getting the color (even by such a cross). T had no 

 trouble in retaining it They mostly showed a. liUle w kite on 

 feast an j & el -si ra .-boned, rather low. exceedingly muscu- 

 lar dogs, with excellent eoustitajiibnsj and for natural field 

 qualities I have never owned their superiors. I never worked 

 any dogs so constantly and severely as I did them, and do not 

 think 1 ever had, or even have heard of , any dogs capable, ol 

 standing the amount of real hard and continued work that 

 they did. 



Their general appearance resembled the Gordon; and in the 

 field I could see little difference from then- manner of going 

 when using them with directly imported Gordons. When 

 home in Scotland in '70, I saw some of the purest Gordons in 

 that, country, bred from bench show winners. Thev were 

 strong, beautiful do .- i di.niTibiyfitfedfortherdndiheatherv 

 country ovei wlu'eh fhe\ were used, and no light-honed, deli- 

 cate dog could stand such work as was required of them. 

 Practical shooting men owned them, men who were as 

 familiar with the qualities of all sporting dogs as many of our 

 scribblers are. with the alphabet, whose knowledge 

 gained by actual experience in the field with all the i <m 10] 

 varieties' of sellers, and they preferred the Cordons. I much 

 douht if • many of the articles we see published are written 

 by men who ever saw a (jJordon in the Held. No doubt but 

 some are clumsy; but the same can be. sail of all breed id 

 colors. Willard's Grouse is not a clumsy dog in th I .. but 



quite fast. Old Rupert v. 

 capital mover. Dr. Niv< p - Bl - ',. I ■- n t only a beautiful 

 goer hnnself but his sons and daughters are quite equal to the 

 best as field performers. I mention those from what I per- 

 soually know of them. That Gordons have been little tried 

 at , our field ;.: . '.- is - i •■ : i :e they- cant win. There may 

 lie many CftUSes foi' their non-appearance there, Before mak- 

 ing miieh change in the lard, would it not be well 

 $o conskl; '-reed a refined, delicate, 



under-sized animal, than to breed a full-sized, powerful animal 

 of the highest quality? In breeding all animals my greatest 

 difficulty has been to get power with quality.

BOSTON DOG SHOW.— Granby, Conn., May ».— Editor 



Forest and Stream: As I ha I pleged myself not to exhibit 

 any beagles at the late New York Show, I was particularly 

 anxious to make a large exhibit at the coming Boston Bench 

 Show, and was surprised and disappointed on receiving their 

 premium list and rules and regulations to find that there was 

 no class made for champion beagles, and that they were 

 barred from entering the open class. Then again both sexes 

 had to be entered in one class, which seems to me to be. a 

 very unwise and unsatisfactory arrangement, as by nature 

 the females are finer than the males, and the two sexes should 

 not compete against each other. I also noticed that there 

 were no prizes given— only certificates of awards— and yet 

 the entrance fee is the same as that charged by other shows 

 giving prizes of value, which seems to me to be another un- 

 wise departure from usual premium lists. I was not sur- 

 prised in looking over a recent issue of Forest and Stream 

 to find that the number of entries made are far below the 

 number entered at the late IN ew York Show, and believe 

 other breeders have taken the same view I have and not 

 entered their dogs, and hope before the club holds another 

 show that they will consider the exceptions 1 have taken and 

 profit by them. I am free to say that I did not feel disposed 

 to aid in making a success a show held under such unsatis- 

 factory regulations, and therefore abandoned my intention of 

 making the largest exhibit of English beagles ever made in 

 this country.— -N. Elmore. 



GREYHOUND PUPPIES AT THE NEW YORK SHOW. 

 —Buckingham, Pa., May 1(5.— Editor Forest and Stream: In 

 your issue of March 3, through the exertions of H. W. Hunt- 

 ington, you published that ''the Westminster Kennel Club 

 would give a special prize of a club medal for best English 

 greyhound puppy under twelve months." This prize "was 

 awarded under class GG, which you entirely omit in your 

 prize lists. Knowing how willingly you always correct errors, 

 will you please state that tin's prize was awarded to black 

 English greyhound dog Buccaneer, aged 11 months? — Joseph 

 R. Pierson. [The omission occurred through our writing 

 across class HH, withheld, in such a manner that both GG 

 and J J appeared to be included. We cheerfully make the cor- 

 rection and add the awards in both classes. Class GG, forthe 



GREYHOUNDS.— Mr. Lotz, of Chicago, writes to say that 

 he was in error regarding his criticism on the naming of 

 McGrath. Mr. Dawson, of Montreal, writes: "As to Mr. D.'s 

 dog being the best in America, I would be pleased to meet 

 him. half way, say in London, Unt., during the nerrt two 

 months, and whoever takes second place to put up a S05 

 medal for the next Westminster Kennel Club show, yon to 

 determine what breed of dogs is to compete for same. Judges 

 can be had at little expense in London." 



A TRAINER, who is well-recommended as eomoetent, in- 

 tends to start, South in a lew weeks, and will take a few dogs 

 to train. He will locate in a good game country. For par- 

 ticulars, see his card in another column.
