allezed causes may, itis true, cause disease in dogs, and such 
disease may be accompanied by some symptoms seen in dis- 
temper. Cold may cause catarrh; bad ventilation may cause 
disease of lungs; improper feeding may give rise to diarrhosa, 
and fatigue or debility may be followed by fits or other ner- 
yous affections, Thus to those who cannot determine be- 
tween am ordinary local disease and a specific fever, cases 
_ may arise traceabie to some of the above causes which are 
mistaken for distemper. Another cause suggested by Blaine 
is the ‘strong inherent liability of the canine race.” There 
are many dogs which are never affected, their ‘inherent lia- 
bility” exists, but they manage to escape contact with the 
infective material, Dogs are liable to distemper in just the 
same way as children are liable to measles—they develop the 
disease when the specitic poison obtains entry to their system, 
The history of the disease throws some light on its origin 
and cause. It preyailsin the torrid as in the frigid zone, and 
cannot, therefore, he connected. with the temperature. It 
was unknown in this country till the year 1763, when it was 
introduced from the continent of Europe where it appears to 
have first shown itselfa year or two preyiously in Spain. 
France was affected about the same time as England. Ac- 
cording to Meming it next reached Italy and Germany in 1764; 
Russia in 1771, and North Africa in 1776, This account of its 
fire appearance and spread is strictly in accordance with a 
contagious origin, and it is utterly opposed tothe theory of 
any atmospheric or climatic cause, [he unrestricted move- 
ment of dogs from one country to another, the utter absence 
of any sanitary precautions, and the errors promulgated by 
canine authorities, fender the spread of disease among dogs 
most easy, but the detection of their exact method of commu- 
nication most difficult. 
Wyerything considered—the history of the disease, its nature 
its methods of spreading, its specific character, its undoubted 
contagiousness, its existence under eyery imaginable variety 
of climate, soil, feeding, housing, etc—l am quite convinced 
that only one explanation of its cause is consistent with the 
facts, viz., that it always arises from contagion either directly 
or indirectly. Thisis not merely a matter of scientific inter- 
est, it is of the greatest practical utility, for we cannot prevent 
a disease capable of spontaneous origin, but we can prevent 
a disease due to a specific cause. Ti we accept a definite origin 
we can guard against its introduction, and we can prevent its 
spread. from our oivn to other people's dogs. I hardly look 
forward to distemper ever being included in the Contagious 
Diseases (Animals) Act, but I firmly believe that if dog owners 
ouce grasp the fact that the disease is sunply and solely a con- 
tagious one, we may, without any legislative help, expect to 
seldom sae it ina well-managed kennei, The prevention of 
the spread of distemper is chiefly a matter of careful isolatien 
of infected animals, strict cleanliness, and thorough disinfec- 
tion. To prevent its getting inte a kennel no dogs should be 
admitted until they have performed a week's quarantine in a 
place set apart for new comers, From this they should ‘only 
pass to the Icennels after a process of disinfection had been 
applied to them, such for instance as washing with carbolic 
or other medicated soap. Vaccination and inoculation have 
been suggested and tried as means of preyenting or regulating 
the spread of distemper. In my next article [ propose to 
consider them more fully than space would now allow —Wim.

DENVER BENCH SHOW. 
Editor Forest and Stream: 
The eutries at the bench show held in connection with the 
exposition, were not se many as there should have been, for 
many of our best dogs were not exhibited, mainly owing, I 
think, tothe want of sufficient advertising, and the prepara- 
tions for the proper care of dogs being delayed. Buttheshow 
wasa good one, and the dogs exhibited would have been 
strong competitors even iu ye old and better regulated Hast- 
ern shows. The judges were Messrs. D. M, Pomeroy and A. 
H. Jones. The management wasin the hands of Mr. W. &#, 
Sisty. Following were the awards:

DENVER, Colorado, Sept. 12. 
The Denver News is not at all modest in its estimate of the 
dogs of Colorado. Here is what it says: ‘Denver, like all 
other large cities, is provided with its share of curs of high and 
low degree, but differing fr@m Hastern cities, the average 
merit of Denyer dogs will largely excel that of the Eastern 
camines. Colorado dogs, as a rule, claim a hetter descent than 
those of the degenerate Eastern cities. Their progenitors 
were brought here at-a time when it would not pay to import 
any but the best grades, and the natural result is that Color- 
ado to-day has more good dogs than any other part of the 
nion in proportion to its population, The English people are

FOREST AND STREAM. 
noted as a_class for their appreciation of fine dogs, and every 
Englishman of any note who has made Colorado his home has 
brought with him the finest specimens of thoroughbreds that 
his favorite isle could boast. Under these circumstances it 
would seem that a bench show in Colorado, especially in Den- 
mers eeu compare fayorably with any similar exhibition in 
e Hast. 
DUBLIN BENCH SHOW. 
[PROM OUR REGULAR CORRESPONDENT. | 
A fede Royal Zoological Society of Ireland held their second 
exhibition on their grounds in tie Phoenix Park, Dublin, 
on Aug. 26, 27, 28 and 29, their total entry amounting to 478. 
The weather on the first day was everything that could be 
wished for, but the three following days it was not so favor- 
able, nevertheless the attendance was good, and everything 
passed off smoothly. The exhibits were all in one tent, sup- 
plied by Messrs, James Hopkins & Co., as also was the bench- 
ing which was everything that could be desired. The feeding 
of the dogs was intrusted to Messrs. Wm. Baker & Sons, 
Victoria Biscuit Works, Bristol, and we never saw more 
attention paid to exhibits in that respect. Mr. Snow, who 
was in full charge of everything, was everywhere and always 
at his post, from 6 A. M. to 10 a M., and as a secretary or 
superintendent we have never met hissuperior. F. Gresham, 
Esq., judged non-sporting; F. Lowe, Esq., sporting, and R. 
Vicary, Esq., fox-terriers and Irish terriers. 
Mastiffs were first on the list, and, taken as'a collection, 
were very moderate, The awards were about correct, first 
and second prizes in bitches being a matter or opinion, Jlford 
Claudia was unnoticed, and we think she was not judged; she 
was certainly the best shown, 
Glacier was entered in champion St. Bernards, but did not 
put in an appearance. In the open class for dogs, Musgrave, 
not looking his best, was second, ‘with a young dog, well 
matured, with good head and fair markings, first; he is 
rather wayy in coat and too straight behind. Nero IV,, third 
prize, is a good colored orange and white, with good mark- 
ings, rather leggy and wants more body and a larger skull. 
Scotch Boniyard, fourth, is of the same type asthird. In 
bitches, a very nice young bitch, full sister to the winner in 
the dog class, won} she is a real good bodied bitch. with good 
feet and legs and moves well; her coat is allthat could be 
wished for; were she a trifle shorter in face she would be one 
of the best we know; she won the cup, beating her brother 
in the dog class. Second in bitches was another good large 
bitch, with good body, feet and legs; she is too large in ear 
and small in head. Moira, third, is too smooth-coated and 
fine in muzzle. 
_ In Newfoundlands we preferred the second prize winner to 
the first, but he was out of looks, his coat being all matted. 
In greyhounds, dogs, first went to Surpriser, well-known in 
the coursing world, anda very handsome animal. He won 
well. Second went to a very nice brindle, A very nice brin- 
dle and white won second in bitches. 
Pointer dogs were only moderate; first is stylish but carries 
his tail too high. Second is lightin body, third, a liver and 
white puppy, is straight in stifles and wide in chest. Grouse, 
commended, has” coarse tail. His head and body are fair, 
feet, legs and shoulders good. He was about the best in the 
class, In pointer bitches, first went to a liver and white of 
good type, but rather lightin bone, second to a lemon and 
white, a moderate specimen. 
In Huglish setters Young Rock was an easy winner; he has 
the best head, a good coat and good body, and is well made 
up. Second, Osman VIL, carries his tail high and is straight 
in his quarters. Black and tan setters were a moderate lot. 
We fancied Heather Gem, in bad condition, as best, As they 
stood, her kennel companion, Heather Beauty, woneasy. In 
ehampion Irish setters Garryowen once more won, beating 
his brother, Count. We find a whole page of a good-sized cata- 
logue deyoted to Garryowen’s record, and another page of ad- 
vertisement. Whether heis the best red setter out is one 
question, but that he is the best advertised one I think there 
is no question, while Mr. Hilliard is not far behind at present 
in the advertising of Count. We have one of his stud cards. 
As we haye never seen one got upinthe same way. perhaps 
it would not be out of place to give afew quotations from it. 
It commences: ‘‘Challenge—The owner of champion Count 
(the only trained champion Irish red setter) hereby challenges 
Mr, Giltrap to a field trial between Champion count and 
champion Garryowen for (to suit Mr. Giltrap’s convenience) 
from £20 to £500 a side, so as to prove to the public that Garry- 
owen isnot a trained dog,” etc., etc. Well, it seems a safe 
bet Gf what Mr. Hilliard says is true) Garryowen not trained 
and Count trained; under the circumstance we would say to 
Mr. Hilliard, lay long odds. 
In champion red setter bitches our old favorite Kate won. 
In her day we think she could have made either Count or Gar- 
ryowen take a back seat. In open class dogs first went to a 
yery good one. He won well. Second to Chief, the winner 
here last year. Heis of the correct type, he might be better 
if a size Jarger, The bitches were moderate. The first is 
rather coarse in head, second has too lone an ear and is fine 
in face. Stella, he., was the best to our mind, except that 
she has poor feet. In puppies, first went to a very nice young 
one, which we think may be too fine in face when matured. 
In Irish water spaniels, first in dogs went to Blair, who was 
looking well, and winning easy. We consider this about the 
best dog going. First im bitches went to a very nice, good 
typical bitch; second is too small, but full of quality. Spaniels 
were a poor lot. ; 
In fox-terrier champion dogs we think Darkie should haye 
won easily, as Pincher is no more or less than the remains of 
what was a typical little terrier. An all white bitch, too fine 
in coat, wou in the bitch class. The two open classes had not 
agood oneinthem. The first prize in puppies is a fairly good 
one. He is too large in ear and fine before the eye, but the 
best in the show we think except champion Darkie. 
_ Collies were about the best classes in the show, First in 
champions went to the black and white Sly Fox. Dublin 
Spot, first in open class dogs, is a good one, but we think may 
get coarse. However, there was a long price offered for him. 
Second went to another good one, Kintore, not in full coat. 
We would have placed Bronze third. In hitches we preferred 
second and third. to first, which was short of coat and it was 
curly and the texture was not the best. 
In the absence of Monarch, Lord Nelson won in bulldogs. 
There weretwo equal firstsin bitches. Jenny Howlett II. 
was shown very thin in flesh. 
bull-terriers, Murderer II. wou, and old champion Violet 
won in bitches. 
Trish terriers came out in great force, but no new face worth 
notice, andmost of all the principal prizes were won by dogs 
who have had a very uncertain record at other shows. 
Pugs were a poor lot, and the same may be said of the toy 
spaniels and other toy classes. 
In poodles, a good one won} the property of Mr, P, Law- 
rence, Boston, Mass,, U.S, A. The variety class was also a 
bad lot, Pollowing are the awards:

THE PHILADELPHIA SHOW. 
PHILADELPHIA, Tuesday, Sept. 16. 
xe. dog must have his day, and the poultry has been 
cleared ont from the big building of the Pennsylvania 
Agricultural Society building that the five hundred aud fifty 
odd dogs which have been gathered here may have their day. 
The caekles of the hen convention have died away, and the 
erow ot chanticleer has given place to the yelp, bark, and 
deep-toned bay, which make all dog shows such delightfully 
melodious resorts. 
The crowd at the fair to-day has been enormous. The jam 
was so great that it interfered with the judging. 
The quality of the exhibitasa whole is excellent, The 
pointer classes are not ‘well filled, at least so far as numbers go. 
English setter classes full and of good quality, St. Bernard, 
mastiff and foxbound classes excellent, the last-named being 
well shown in large cages onraised platforms. Altogether the 
Philadelphia Kennel Club has reason to be well satisfied with 
the way the show has opened, Following are the
