th ounds cwith which they haye been hunted, stating that they : 
have been regularly hunted during the present or past season. 
In some such way certificates might be given to sporting dogs. 
Bor so plausible aspurpose, and one which would be productive 
£ so much advantage to breeders, there would be no difficulty 
in finding gentlemen who would undertake to see the dogs 
ed, and award.a first, second, or third class certificate ac- 
eae to the merit displayed by the candidate, These judges 
might be-appointed by the Kennel Club, and consist of mem- 
would he prepared to see a dog worked on application being 
made by the owner; after which, a dog appearing as a prize 
winner without a certificate, would be marked as a doubtful 
‘sire. 
_ Inthe eritiqgne on a dog show held lately when a special 
judge awarded the prizes in the greyhound classes, a state- 
_ ment was made that the judge selected the winners morefrom 
a racing than a show bench point of view. Surely there should 
‘he no distinction between the two, or how can dog shows be 
| ofany benefitin improving the breed of greyhounds. Tne 
animal thatis formed forthe greatest speed combined with 
endurance, with a lengthy neck to pick up its game, is the one 
that should gai the prize, whether judged by a coursing man 
or one of the regular show yard judges. Sowith pointers and 
setters, After allowing for coat in the latter and intelligence 
of head in beth, the man who has shot over either knows that 
like all animals that are required to gallop, they must have 
sloping shoulders, with plenty of heart room, short muscular 
hacks, with strong loin and powerful, lengthy quarters, hocks 
well set under them, and straight legs andfeet. The dog that 
possesses these pointsin the greatest perfection is the one 
which, from his point of view, should obtain the prize. 
To please most sportsmen, a dog must be level all through, 
not with one good point exaggerated and others defective, It 
is the favoring of the latter class of dog by judges which haye 
kept many good and well-trained dogs off the show bench, 
Hinting with hounds, shooting-over pointers, setters, or span- 
lels, and killing yermin with terriers, are sports which were 
engaged in long before dog shows were thought of, andthe old 
fenerabion of sportsmen must die out, before exaggerated 
head properties can be accepted, in preference to straight 
timbs and well-carried sterhsin the hound, or shooting-dog. 
Be this as it may, to the impartial observer it cannot but be 
evident that in. many respects the institution of dog shows, 
and the rules which regulate them, haye been the medium by 
which canine culture has been greatly adyanced.—Live Stock 
Journal (London), ; : 
THE CHAMPION RULE. ~ 
Hiditor Forest and Stream; 
I have received a copy of the rules and regulations of the 
Philadelphia Kennel Club bench show, article third of which 
treads thus; ‘To enter the championship class a dog must 
haye won three first prizes in open classes, or first prize in a 
champion class, when there has been at least one competitor 
in any recognized bench show.” It seems to me that while 
this might be an excellent rnle under some circumstances, 
under existing circumstances in this country, it amounts to 
virtually barring out of the champion class all dogs excepting 
those who have already established their claims as champions 
under different ruling. 1 believe Iam right in stating that in 
all bench shows held in this country up to the present time, a 
dog having taken one first prize in any recognized bench 
show has not only been entitled but obliged to enter the cham- 
pion class at any subsequent show at which his owner might 
wish to exhibit him, thereby rendering it impossible for any 
doz to have taken three tirst prizes in openclass. Idonot find 
any fault with the adoption of the rule at what I would con- 
sider a proper time, but my idea is that before requiring a dog’ 
to take three first prizes in an open class, to make him eligible 
for the champion class, the open class should be thrown open 
to dogs untilthey had taken three first prizes, otherwise I 
cannot see the sense of requiring of a dog that in order to 
enter 4 certain class he must tirst have accomplished somethin: 
which the rules of all recognized bench shows haye pondered 
impossible, even though he were perfect in every particular. 
T. C, Faxon, 
Bosvon, Mass. 
(The rule quoted, if adopted by the managers of all future 
bench shows, will accomplish just the result desired by our cor- 
respondent by throwing open the open classes to all dogs which 
have not won three first pues We believe the rule to be an 
excellent one and hope that every bench show association in 
the country will adopt it. The reform is certainly needed, and 
sae is no time like the present for commencing the good 
work. ] 
POINTERS AT NEW YORKE.—Mr. John W, Munson has 
published a letter in which he alleges that his recent commu- 
nications sent to the Forms? AND STREAM were altered in this 
office before they were published. The changes of which he 
complains consisted of the elimination from his letters of (1st) 
a column of advertising matter setting forth the performances 
of the progenitors of the dogs Maxim and Meteor in Hngland, 
and which we are quite ready to publish at any time and at 
the usual rates, in the pages devoted to advertisements; (2d) 
purposeless personalities, among them the statement that 
the gentleman against whom Mr. Munson was contending 
“lied;” and (8d) profanity, Wewill do Mr. Munson the credit 
of believing that when he recovers his temper he will quite 
agree with us that the pufis, personalities and profanity were 
not essential to the argument.

THE PHILADELPHIA OCTOBER SHOW. - This isa great 
year for dog shows in this country. There haye been a baker’s 
dozen already, and our list of fixtures shows the dates for 
seven more. Now comesnews of a second Philadelphia show, 
to be held October 16, 17 and 18, a month later than the Puila- 
delphia Kennel Club’s exhibition. The secretary of the Phila- 
delphia Kennel Club writes to explain that the October show 
will not be given by that club. We are not at present advised 
who is back of it, but understand that it will be under the 
auspices of a number of well-known breeders. 
THE FASTING DEGREH.—Spencer, Ind., Aug. 21.—The 
Masons meet monthly. At the last lodge meeting one of the 
members was attended by a fayorite dog. The man went 
home and wondered what had become of his dog. Inquiries 
were made, but no one had seen or knew anything about the 
animal The janitor of the lodge, three weeks after, went up 
to see about something and opened the property room, when 
out popped the staryed dog, runnine out through the hall, 
down stairs and into the street, and made for the ditch full af 
water, where he lay all afternoon, and drank enough water 
to swim a horse,—A READER,

teudance as will enable it to meet the expenses of the meeting,
