FOREST AND STREAM. 



431 



Id water spaniels, first went to Mr. Hockey's Lady, who was 

 Looking well? second was won by Mickey Free, who was not 

 so good in coat as we have seen him. 



Chnnber spaniels Were a good collection* which were mostly 

 all the property of His Grace tuo Duke of Portland. The 

 Messrs. Charles's second prize bitch, Foxley Beauty, was look- 

 ing' very Well ; she is rather short in body. 



Sussex or liver-colored spaniels were moderate, the winners 

 all well known. 



In black spaniels, champion class, the Messrs. Willets altered 

 their Warwick decisions, where they placed Solus and Roys- 

 terer ecpial first, now placing Solus at the head of affairs, and 

 we think quite correctly. In the open clog class, first went to 

 Easten's Bracken. He' is rather thick in skull and shows haw 

 in Ma eyes. Lord Bute, second, is deficient in character, short 

 in coat aud has white on chest. President and Le Bole were 

 equal third, the former is too high in legs and the latter has 

 the same fault, with curly coat. The bitches were really good. 

 Easten's Busy is a good specimen, but is out at elbows. Thyra, 

 second, is also a good one, a trifle short in face. Lava Jet, 

 vhc., has white on chest., but otherwise is the best in the class. 

 Coy has her- expression spoiled by a lump on her forehead 

 over her eyebrow. Silvia, third, is too fine in muzzle. 



Cockers," any color, were a moderate collection. Freda, first, 

 is a mottled colored blue black, white and tan with quite too 

 straight a head. Little Dan is only a puppy and will be quite 

 too large. Nellie VII., by some accident was not taken out of 

 her box until after the judging. She was the best in the class, 

 but is wide in front and light of eye, also short of coat, but is 

 the best stamp of a cocker. In any other variety, first went 

 to Lass o' Devon. She was looking better than we have seen 

 h er. In the opeu class, first went to Easten's Bruce, a liver 

 and tan. He has a good head, is long and low with a good 

 coat, but is not as straight on the leg as we would like. In 

 the corresponding bitch class. Beauty II., first, a black and 

 white of good stamp, but out at elbows. Fanciful, second 

 prize, a black, wnite and tan, and about the best in the class. 

 Easten's Pride and Zuess were equal third, the latter was 

 rather out of coat. In puppies, first went to Coy, second to 

 Le Roi, both exhibited in the open classes. 



Champion collies had four entries, only Donald and Rutland 

 competing, which made it an easy win for the latter, who was 

 not as good in coat as we have seen him. In the open dog 

 class first went to a bluish sable, a good, strong-bodied dog 

 with good coat and head, but rather deficient in carriage of 

 ears, which gives him anything but a showy appearance on 

 the bench. He was, however properly placed. Second was 

 won by a sable, tan and white dog with good face and ears, 

 but light in body and out of coat. Third was a yellow-col- 

 ored dog, too fine in bone and face. He has dew claws. In 

 bitches first went to Mistress Beatrix, a nice golden sable 

 and an easy winner. Lass, second, is light in bone and fine 

 in face. (Jola, third, is leggy, and short of coat. Novelty, 

 vhc. , is good in coat, short in back and out at elbows, and 

 walks very badly. In smooth-coated collies we preferred the 

 second prize dog to any in the class. The puppy class was 

 divided into dogs and bitches, the three winning dog puppies 

 were also the three winners in the open dog class. In bitch 

 puppies Glenrosa, first, is fine in bone. Novelty, second, was 

 vhc. in the open bitch class. 



In champion Basset hounds, first went to Fino V. Pallas II., 

 vhc, with Theo, in the open class, won the cup for the best 

 pair. In the open class, dogs and bitches, Bourbon first, is full 

 brother to the winner in the champion class. 



The champion class for bulldogs had no entries. In bitches, 

 first went to Redowa in the .absence of Britomartis, who was 

 entered but did not put in an appearance. In the open class 

 for dogs, Robinson Crusoe, litter brother to Britomartis, won. 

 He is particularly good in head and chop, has a good body and 

 is low on legs. He was not in the condition he ought to be. 

 He also won the cup presented by Spratt's Patent, value 

 £5 5s. The bull bitch class was cancelled. 



Dachshunde were a good collection, and, as usual, Mr. 

 Jones's awards were well received. 



Champion bull-terriers had no entries. The open class was 

 a moderate collection, and we prefer the second and third to 

 the winner, who is light in bone and hollow under the eye. 



In champion fox-terrier dogs Spice beat Climax, whose ears 

 are still badly carried, Sutton Veda winning in the bitch 

 class. In the open dog class first went to Splinter, the War- 

 wick winner, second to Earl Leicester, a remarkably well- 

 made dog with good feet, legs and shoulders, but coarse in 

 head and ears. Dandy Dick, third, is a compact little dog 

 with one ear wrong. In bitches first went to Richmond 

 Nettle, a well-known good one. Delta, second prize, is too 

 fine before the eye. Richmond Patch, third, is a very nice 

 bitch all round, of good size and the best of feet, legs, body 

 and bone. She is rather fine in coat. The winning puppies 

 were above the average, all to be heard of again some day. 

 The wire-haired terriers were very fair classes, but were 

 faulty iu coat. Scarcely two were coated alike, and few 

 among them had the correct wire-hair jacket. 



In champion Bedlingtons first went to Dina. Our fancy lay 

 for Topsy. In the open dog class the winner, Bishop, is rather 

 large and coarse. Tinner, third, is of good size, but is too 

 broad in front and carries his tail too high. The bitches were 

 only moderate. The second prize, Domino, we always ad- 

 mired, and think that she has seldom got her dues, and we 

 know many who hold the same opinion. Zulu, third, has not 

 quality enough. 



We could not agree with the awards in the Irish terrier 

 champion class. Sting, first, is a bad color and as smooth as a 

 black and tan terrier. Playboy ought, in our opinion, to have 

 won easily, Poppy being absent. The two winners in the open 

 dog class also won in puppies. 



Burke won again in black* and tan terriers, with a very 

 handsome little bitch coming second to him. 



Skye terriers were a good class; Scottish Queen, first, is 

 much the longest and lowest ; she would be improved were 

 her ears better carried. 



In Scotch terriers, Capt. Mackie had everything his own 

 way, his exhibits standing clear winners from'the others, who 

 can't come near them in head qualities or texture of coat. 



Dandies had small entries, the winners are all well known. 

 In bitches, second and third prizes were withheld. 

 The classes for Pomeranians and poodles were cancelled. 

 In champion pugs w r e would have preferred Challenger to 

 Jenny. In the open class we would have placed Bradford 

 Ruby first, being better in size, straight on legs, smaller in 

 ear and better color and tail than the winner, who is a little 

 larger in siiull. In the bitch class it is only a matter of opinion 

 which of the winners were the best. Only a second prize was 

 awarded in the puppy class. 



The classes for Yorkshire terriers and toy spaniels were can- 

 celled. Foreign dog's once more saw Mr, Taunton to the front 

 with our old acquaintance Sir John Frankland, looking well. 

 No less than six prizes were awarded in this class, and only a 

 sum of £(J to be disposed of. There was nothing' iu the local 

 classes to call for special comment. There was an auction of 

 dogs held on the last day of the show, but nothing good being 

 set up the prices obtained were small, one collie selling for 

 £5 10s, , which we consider a very good investment. 

 Following is a full list of the

MISTAKE IN PEDIGREE.— Rosendale, Wis., June 14.— 

 Editor Forest and Stream: In an advertisement in your 

 issue, June 12, by Mr. H. C. Miller, Hudson, N. Y.. is offered 

 for sale a bitch claimed to be by Croxteth; ex Royal Pan. I 

 think there is some mistake in the pedigree of this pointer — 

 three years old. I sold only one bitch from the issue of Crox- 

 teth ex Royal Fan, namely, Cora C, who is about two years 

 and six months old. Dolly was not imported. Will Mr. 

 Miller please explain?— S. B. Dillt. 



HAN FRAN CISCO.— The Sacramento Bee announces that 

 a kennel club is being organized in San Francisco. There 

 will probably be no bench, show there this year. 



PHILADELPHIA KENNELS.— Philadelphia, June 



Editor Forest, and Stream: Your readers who read the com- 

 munication of "Homo," in your last number, wherein the 

 Philadelphia Kennel Chib desires it to be known that it has 

 no connection with the Philadelphia Kennels, may have nafcu- 

 rally supposed that the latter was a swindle, and that the 

 kennel of a firm who sell "canary birds, rabbits aud ferrets" 

 might be rather a mythical affair, Notwithstanding the fact 

 that the selling of small pets of various kinds is one branch of 

 our business, we have a kennel covering five acres near 

 Angora, Pa., and are endeavoring to build up a business in 

 selling dogs (more especially the non-sporting varieties) on a 

 legitimate basis. The book (the one advertised in your col- 

 umns) which we mail you with tin's will convince you that we 

 at least give the biggest ten cents' worth that has over been 

 gotten out in that line. We find no fault with the club in dis- 

 claiming connection with us; that is but natural and perfectly 

 just. The selection of the name, "Philadelphia Kennels," was 

 rather unfortunate on our part, and was done unthinkingly. 

 The only excuse we can offer is that at the time the name was 

 adopted the club was not the activo organization it is now, 

 and we did not then see how it was possible for the two 

 names to clash. We desire just here to pay a tribute to the 

 value of the. Forest and Stkeam as an advertising medium. 

 From the little one-inch card inserted four times we have, to 

 date, received 228 replies mentioning the name of your paper. 

 We are so much pleased with the investment that we snail 

 continue it for a year. — Associated Fanciers. 



PHILADELPHIA KENNEL CLUB.— It has been decided 

 by the Philadelphia Kennel Club to abolish the black and tan 

 setter class at the coming dog show of the society. At a meet- 

 ing lately held to draft a premium list aud standards for judg- 

 ing, this was unanimously agreed upon, and a motion was 

 made to adopt the Dixon standard for Cordons, which would 

 have been carried had not the president of the club, Mr. J. G. 

 Dixon, objected to it as reflecting upon himself. In justice to 

 this gentleman it should be understood that he was in no 

 manner a moyer in this dropping of the black and tan setter 

 class. It was evident to the members of the Philadelphia 

 Kennel Club who attended the late New York bench show 

 that justice was not being done to the breeders of Gordons of 

 straight pedigree when they were compelled to compete in a 

 class where half Gordons and half Irish setters were allowed 

 to enter. Breeders who are devoting their energies to the 

 improvement of this breed should be protected ; and it seems 

 to be the general opinion of the management of bench shows 

 in this country that hereafter no black and tan class will be 

 allowed at canine exhibitions. The dates for the holding of 

 the bench show of the Philadelphia Kennel Club will shortly 

 be made known. The special prize list is daily increasing in 

 number and value. — Homo. 



WILD DOGS OF MAINE.— Machias, June 16.— Game pros- 

 pects for this part of Maine are good. Deer are more plenty 

 than last year at this season, as well as grouse ; due to our 

 present game laws, Commissioner Payson Tucker, and the 

 efficiency of the game wardens. If we can retain our present 

 laws and have the same appropriation for the next two years, 

 we shall see still greater changes. But the danger is that the 

 market hunter will overturn the whole, for he cannot bear to 

 see game increase for fear his neighbor may have a nibble. 

 Wild dogs are increasing, but as soon as they can eat meat 

 they will go the way of then' fathers. There is not a well- 

 trained dog in all Washington county or a proper kennel. 

 They roam at will, breed, steal, destroy sheep and game, pollute 

 with their filth, endanger men with their teeth and disease; in 

 short, a complete nuisance, producing nothing and destroying 

 much. They are all "yaller" in this part of Maine. I like a 

 well-trained dog that is properly used and kept; but I have 

 seen so much of the natural cussedness of the dog as he exists 

 in Maine, that I agree with others that he is wild, not domes- 

 tic, In his place he is a luxury, but out of it, a nuisance. — H. 



COLLIE SHOW AND FIELD TRIALS.— In connection 

 with the Toronto Industrial Fair this fall will be held under 

 the auspices of the Ontario Collie Club, a collie show and field 

 trials. These will take place on the exhibition grounds Sept. 

 16, 17 and 18. In the bench show prizes will be given in four 

 classes, each with sub-sections. There will be two sections 

 (dogs and bitches) in the champion rough-coated class, and 

 three sections (dogs, bitches and puppies) in the open rough- 

 coated class. There will be the same classes aud sub-divisions 

 for smooth and medium-coated collies. The held trials will 

 probably be for each dog to take sheep between two posts 

 and back to a pen, or such other trial as the judges will de- 

 cide. There will be two classes (dogs and bitches), in each of 

 which three, prizes, $25, $15 and §8, will be given. Further 

 information is to be had from Mr. H. J. Hill, secretary of the 

 Industrial Exhibition.— Toron to Mail. 



DOGS AND RAILROADS.— The Chesapeake & Ohio and 

 Kentucky Central Railway Companies will "receive and carry 

 free of charge in baggage cars, at the owners' risk, and with- 

 out checks, bicycles, light equipment of sportsmen, and their 

 game- also one dog free for each sportsman, when accom- 

 panied by then- owners, holding first-class tickets. Owners to 

 load and unload their own property."
