SETTERS AND POINTERS AT CINCINNATI. 



THE dog show opened on Tuesday morning, the 4th hist., 

 with 289 entries. Melodeon Hall, where the show Is held, 

 is hi all probabdity the worst place in America for a dog show, 

 but it was the only available hall to be had at this time. It is 

 a sort of concert hall or theater— on the third floor— and the 

 approach to it is up two and a half nights of stairs from a side 

 street. The room is very small, and the kennels are so closely 

 packed in it that two persons can hardly pass in the aisles. 

 There is no yard or lot attached to it for exercising the doors. 

 and such as are taken out, must be carried into "the public 

 street. I wonder how Mr. Lincoln has dohe as well as he has 

 under the circumstances. Everything moves on with the 

 good order which he alone could bring but of such a condition 

 of things. The judging is done on & raised stage, where it is 

 so dark that gas is kept burning all the tirhe. When the 

 crowd stands around the front of the stage the dogs have to 

 be handed on and off the stage over the heads of the spectators, 

 I noticed the hall was very warm all during the show, and I 

 fear that many of the dogs will be made sick. Financially the 

 show will be a success. On the first day there were" over 

 seventeen hundred paid admissions at the door, and a good 

 crowd has been in daily attendance. 



Major Taylor and Mr. Mortimer judged a few of the classes 

 on Tuesday, but most of the judging was done on Wednesday. 

 The quality of the setters and pointers is far above the aver- 

 age, and the classes filled well. I can't say a word as to the 

 quality of the other sporting and all the non-sporting classes, 

 for I don't know enough about anv of them to dare to com- 

 ment. My report must, therefore, cover setters and pointers 

 only. 



Champion English Setter Dogs.— Lava Rock, the only entrv, 

 was absent. 



Champion English Setter Bitches.— Gen. Shattuc's Dido II. 

 was the only entry, and won the prize. It will be a very cold 

 day when the little lady gets left if the General shows her. 



English Setter Dogs— Had sixteen entries. First went to 

 Dick Bee, owned by the Mohawk Kennel of Chatham, Canada. 

 He is a very taking black, white and tan, by Paris II., out of 

 Romp, and well deserved the prize. Count" Gladsome, owned 

 by John Overman of Cincinnati, won second. He is white, 

 black and tan also, by Gladstone out of Leda. and a very 

 handsome dog. Boyal Lothair, owned by C. B. Phipps of 

 Winton Place, O., by Racket out of Kelp, and Maxwell, 

 owned by T. L. Martin of Lexington, Ky., by Luke out of 

 Rene, both good show dogs, won vhc. Rocket, owned by W. 

 R. Traver, Washington, D. C, another black, white and tan, 

 by Wagoner out of Nell, got he. He is a fair dog. Royal 

 Sultan, blue belton, by Racket out of Kelp; Dick, a lemon 

 and white, by Rex out of Kate; and Mr. L. G. Hanna's 

 (Cleveland) Don, a black, white and tan, by Joe out of Patch, 

 each got c. Major Taylor seems to be fond of the black, white 

 and tans, or may be I only thought so, because with two ex- 

 ceptions the honors in this class went to dogs of that color, 

 but I think they were all properly placed. The fact is black, 

 white and tan is the fashion among setter men now. and there 

 are more of them to be shown than of other colors. 



English Setter Bitches.— In this there were thirteen entries, 

 and they were an excellent lot. Maj. Taylor had his 

 little field trial champion Lit "Tor exhibition" only" in this 

 class, but he need not be ashamed to show her for competition 

 under any other judge, for she is a little beauty. First prize 

 went to John E. Long's (Detroit) Nettie B., a black, white" and 

 tan, no authentic pedigree. Mr. Long bought her from a 

 butcher in Detroit and thinks he traces her pedigree to a dog 

 over in Canada, but as there is an uncertainty about it, he de- 

 clines to manufacture a pedigree for her. She is evidently a 

 blue blood, for she is full of quality and style, and deserved 

 her first. The Ontario Kennel Club's (Chatham) Flora Bee 

 won second. She is a sister to Dick Bee, the dog that won 

 first in the preceding class, and is by Paris H. out of Romp. 

 Vhc. went to Joan of Arc, a blue belton, by Paris out of Pearl, 

 and to Faustina Lava Rock, a lemon and white, by Lava 

 Rock out of Lady Beaconsfield; both are good bitches. He, 

 was won by Lucy D, a blue belton, by Paris out of Cooniassie, 

 and c, by Brownie, black, white and tan. by Racket out of 

 Rose, and Dinah, black and wliite, by Mark out of Betsy, both 

 fair. 



English Setter Puppies.— First to Dan, .entered by P. B. 

 Spencer (Newport, Ky.), a black and white, by' Chief 

 out of Nancy Lee. He is by far the best puppy in the class ; 

 secoud went to Rex, a black, wliite and tan, entered by G. W. 

 Sehuler (Hamilton, O.), by Count Gladstone out of Melissa. 

 His head is poor, otherwise a good pup. Vhc. , to Lady Non- 

 pareil, a black, white and tan, by Count Noble out of Rosa- 

 lind. She is a poor-looking young one with no apparent sub- 

 stance, and bad, sore eyes. " He, to Slip, a black and white, 

 by Royal Lothair out of Nonie. 



Champion Black and Tan Setters. — First to Rupert II., 

 entered by Franklin Kennel, O., a dog I don't fancy, and 

 certainly not a Malcolm standard dog. Argus, the only other 

 entry, was absent. 



Black and Tan Setters.— Seven entries. No good ones, and 

 no Malcolm standard dogs in the lot. First to John E. Long's 

 Hugo, the bestin the lot; second to Mack, an old ugly looking 

 dog. Major Taylor wisely withheld other notices from the 

 class except one he. to Rube, a pooivlog. 



Black and Tan Puppies. —Only one entry and a poor one, 

 Frank, who won first. 



Champion Irish Setter Dogs.— Only one entry, Biz, who was 

 absent. 



Champion Irish Setter Bitches. — Only one entry, J. S. Mc- 

 intosh's Lady Clare. 



Irish Setter Dogs. — Fourteen entries and a very fair class. 

 First to Norwood, entered by i^l. Overman, Cincinnati, a very 

 handsome dog, by Elcho out of Rose, lit to show in any com- 

 pany; second to Barney, by Dash out of Clee, entered by A. 8. 

 Knoblaugh, Cincinnati, a fair dog. Vhc. to Brag, by Stod- 

 dard's Bob out of Duck, better to my mind than the winner 

 of second. He. to Bob, Jr., by Stoddard's Bob out of Flash. 

 0, bo Joe, by Kent out of Dance. Major Taylor failed to 

 notice Wagg, a very handsome big dog, by Snipe out of Fan, 

 who should have had a place. 



Irish Setter Bitches.— Seven entries. Only a fair lot. First 

 to Clara Bell, entered by E, E. Weiss (Cincinnati), by .Stod- 

 dard's Bob out of his Flash. She was the best in the 

 rcond to a very good-looking bitch, Ettie, by Tollstone 

 out of Ruby. Vhc. to Clytie, by Elcho out of Fire Fly. I 

 liked her for second. He. to Virginia Reel. Not a good bitch, 

 Irish Setter Puppies. — Four entries, and they did not 

 amount to much. First to H. C. Bradley's (Cincinnati) Lotta, 

 by Norwood out of Nellie. Second to Beauty Belle, by Nor- 

 wood out of Clara Bell. I predict that Norwood will prove a 

 gpod stud dog if allowed a fan- lot of bitches. 



Champion Pointer Dogs— Had three entries, first going to 

 the Baltimore dog Bravo, over John E Long's King 

 Tom and the Knickerbocker Kennel Club's Knickerbocker. 

 The award was correct, though neither dog is particularly 

 good, to my mind. I don't mean that they are bad, but that 

 they are not good enough to win in the best company 



Champion Pointer Bitches.— Had three entries and hrdy 

 two present— the Westminster Kennel (Tub's Lassie, and 

 Mr. H. W. Faweeu's Marguerite II.. by Faust Out of Devon- 

 shire Lass. The- latter took the prize deservedlv. Lassie is 

 not a good show bitch, and is hot now in show form. 



Pointer Dogs (over 53 pounds)— Had fourteen entries, and I 

 heard Major Taylor say it was one of the best classes he ever 

 judged, With two or three exceptions, I thought the lot very 

 much above the average, of large dogs. First went to im- 

 ported Meteor, exhibited by me, and I don't think 1 misstate 

 it when I say Major Taylor selected hnn for first as soon as he 

 looked him over. To my mind he is ahead of anything in the 

 show, I have only had Mm ton days— from his winter quarters 

 in Texas, where Col. Hughes has had him at work daily- 

 arid he was not in good show shape, but he won his place With 

 ease. The choice for second was a hard iob for the Major, and 

 took him a long time to decide. It finally Went to Joe, a liver 

 and white dog entered by Dalliha oc Muuhall. of Cleveland. 

 He is a dog that was bought for $20, and has ho pedigree: 

 With the exception of his head, which looks like a brill - 

 terrier 8, he is a splendid looking dog. His chest is the. deepest 

 I ever saw on any pointer. He was sold after the award for 

 8109; C. M. MunhalTs Donald II., a liver and white ticked 

 dog, by Donald out of Devonshire Lass, got vhc, which is as 

 much as he deseiwed. He is too straight up and down in front 

 to wm in good company, but was shown in the pink of con- 

 dition, thanks to Lewis, his handler. Lamplighter, a fiver 

 and white dog, by Dilley's Ranger out of Dillev's Queen, got 

 vhc. also. He is a good looking, big dog, but very coarse, as 

 are the general ran of Ranger dogs. The much-advertised 

 Icicle got he, probably because Major Tavlor did not, want to 

 break his owner's heart, but had I judged the dogs, he would 

 not have been noticed. He is a big, ungainly looking dog, 

 without a sign of quality to him. Bolus, a fiver and white 

 dog entered by A. A. Thomas, of Dayton, Ohio, got he, and 

 Bang, by old champion Bang out of Salter's Luna, entered by 

 me, got c. Bang's breeding is all right, but he don't "show 

 up" well. He is too stocky and thick, and lacks quality. 



Pointer Dogs (under 55 pounds)— Had four entries. First 

 went to Perry, a liver and white dog, entered by A. A, 

 Thomas of Dayton, by Lort out of Lass. He is good, except 

 his chest, which is entirely too thin. It is deep enough, but 

 very thin. The owner of second, Riot, a brother of Perry and 

 entered by same gentleman, with the exception of his nose, 

 which is short, is to my mind the better of the two. 



Pointer Bitches (any weight)— Had nineteen entries, and 

 was a splendid class. First went to my imported Vanity, by 

 old champion Bang out of Pride. I am vain enough to think 

 the selection was easily made, for I like her better than any 

 bitch I ever saw. Second was taken by Lady Croxteth, 

 entered by B. F. Seitner, of Dayton. She is liver and white, 

 by Croxteth out of Lass. I preferred her dam, Lass, who got 

 he. to her, though she is a showy, taking bitch, and handles 

 well. I thought Trinket, entered by E. F. Stoddard, of Day- 

 ton, a better bitch : but she was shown iu very bad -condition, 

 and would not have deserved to beat her as she now is. 1 also 

 think my two bitches. Spinaway and Flash, third, better than 

 Lady Croxteth — but I am very vain of my entries. They 

 were given each a vhc. as well as Trinket. Seitner's Lass, he! , 

 is a very haudsome lemon and white bitch — better far than 

 the average. Westminster Kennel Club's Moonstone, by Bang 

 out of Luna, got c, and I don't think deservedly. She is not 

 at all a show bitch. Then- Polly failed of a place, though I 

 like her better than Moonstone. 



Pointer Puppies — Were a fair lot, only the winners of 

 first and second, B. F. Seitner's Rapp and Doncastor, both b$ 

 Croxteth out of Lass, deserved their places. They are a pair 

 of very fine pups. Dalliba & MunhalTs Dora, by Sensation 

 out of "Devonshire Lass, got vhc. She is also a handsome pup, 

 liver and white. E. F. Stoddard got vhc. for his Glen, by 

 Bodine out of Lady. The others were a fair lot. 



The special prizes were numerous if not valuable. Special 

 A was the best of the lot. It was a massive silver dog collar, 

 with solid gold lock and trimmings, donated by the Cincinnati 

 Enquirer. It was for the best setter or pointer, dog or bitch 

 in the show, and brought out Dido II., Dick B., Nettie B. and 

 Dan, all English setters, winners of first prize; Rupert II., 

 champion Gordon; Hugo, first prize Gordon; Norwood, Clara 

 Bell and Lotta, nrst prize Irish setters,' and Bravo, champion 

 pointer; Marguerite II., Meteor, Perry. Vanity and Rapp, all 

 first prize pointers. The choice narrowed down to Dido and 

 Meteor, and I can say unselfishly that no man in the show was 

 more glad to see the prize go to Dido than I. She deserved it, 

 and it is worth a fortune to her big-hearted owner. 



Special B, for best English setter dog or bitch, a pair of 

 leather leggings, donated by B. Kittridge & Co., went to Dido. 



Special C, a picture for best matched brace of English set- 

 ters went to Dinah and Lucy, the only entries. 



Special D, for best Gordon setter dog or bitch, a pair ol 

 gings donated by Kittridge & Co., went to Hugo. Rupert and 

 Prank showed against him. 



Special E, for best Gordon dog, bronze tobacco case went to 

 Hugo. 



Special F, for best Irish dog or bitch, a pair of leggings, went 

 to Norwood, beating Lady Clare, Clara Bell and Lotta. 



Special G, for best Irish puppy, went to Lotta, the only 

 entrv. 



Special H, silver cup donated by Cincinnati Ifew6 Journal, 

 for best pointer puppy owned in Cincinnati, went to Grace. 



Special I, pair leather leggings, donated by Kittridge & Co , 

 for best pointer dog or bitch, went to Bfefe 



Special J, for best pointer puppy sired by Beaufort, vrent 

 to Sylph. 



Special K, for best kennel of pointers, Ligowsky clay pigeon 

 trap and barrel of clay pigeons, went to my kennel composed 

 of Meteor, Bang, Spinaway, Vanity and Flash, beating 1 

 Croxteth, Rapp, Doneaster, Perry and Lass. 



special L, for best brace of pointers, went to Meteor 

 Vanity. 



Special M, for best pointer dog owned and entered by a lady 

 of Cincinnati, went to Lamplighter. 



Special EE, silver medal for best pointer dog entered by a 

 gentleman resident of Cincinnati, Newfort or Coviugton, a« 

 owner or agent, went to Lamplighter. __ 

 "Special FF, same as preceding, a meerschaum pipe, went to 

 Lamplighter. 



Special II, for best pointer dog under 551bs. , owned by a lad V 

 of Cincinnati, went to Fred. 



Special JJ, for best pointer dog owned in Cincinnati, and 

 winner of no other prize, went to Sport, 



Special KK. for best pointer dog puppy owned in Cincin 

 nati, winner of no other prize, went to King Alfonso. 



The show has drawn together a verv nice lot of dogs for a 

 beginning, and no doubt hereafter Cincinnati will have an 

 annual show, and a good one. Quite, a number of prominent 

 owners and dog show patrons are here, too many to note in 

 this letter. The judging seems to have given entire satisfac- 

 tion, from all I can learn. The weather has been bad all dur- 

 ing the show, but for which more money would have been 

 taken in, but it is a success nevertheless.
