ENGLISH KENNEL NOTES. 
VT. 
\ i UCH speculation is rife upon the Birmingham committee’ 
Yk choice of judges, Ihave my misgivings, and fear ther 
slight acquaintance of inner fogey life may mislead them 
into unpopular selections. Jt isjust that the distribution of such 
liberal prizes should be intrusted to the honestest and ablest 
men in the kennel community, The press and the public are 
assuming a very friendly attitude toward the old show ground. 
Birmingham has only the Kennel Club against it whose feel- 
ing is that of ‘the opposition shop,” but even in the club I 
am happy to repeat that there are members who are out of 
sympathy with the stand taken up by some of their narrow- 
jTainded committee. 
A futile attempt at reconciliation has been made in the col- 
umns of the Field by & couple of busybodies, a Rev. de Castro 
and a funny man who signs himself with a French nom de 
plume, ‘The first inentioned affects to be ignorant of the term 
ep PU Cot f particularly in its application to the conduct of 
the Kennel Club in their position toward Birmingham. J should 
have thought this point was as plain as a pike staff. The 
Kennel Club-said to Birmingham; ‘'Give up your old rules 
that were composed before we existed and that have served 
you so well in the past and adopt ours, or we shall exclude 
your winners from our stud books,” But the Birmingham 
lamb declined to ford that stream to feed the Cleveland Row 
wolf with its registration fees. I believe the restoration_of 
friendly relation possible, and I say desirable between the 
two committees for the purpose of effecting some form of 
honorable compromise that would furnish a working basis. 
ae present position is a baneful one to the interests of dog 
SHOWS. 
The rock they split upon is the registration rule. When the 
Kennel Club founded that rule we all thought it was 4 food 
idea. Nobody ever maintained the contrary. It gives aman 
the absolute proprietary of the name he selects to call his dog 
Vs 
Therefore, as no two dogs can be registered by the same 
name, mistakes and frauds are prevented; but the Kennel 
Club overpriced their idea, say a careful public, when they 
retail it to us at a shilling a name, This is where Birmingham 
would come in with an objection—why should their show, 
containing, as it is sure to, a great many unregistered dogs, 
contribute all these shillings to the Kennel Club’s coffers? It 
was Birmingham’s reputation, their schedule, their prizes, 
that gathered these dogs together, and what right has this 
London club to come and take shilling toll of their visitors? 
No, the Kennel Club must reduce their fees and let the inde- 
en shows keep their own before a compromise is pos- 
sible, 
Granted that before the registration rule had been tried, be- 
fore the unanticipated hosts of uxnamed came forward, that 
arough caleulation of the working expenses of the new rule 
induced them to fix the figure at a shilling, why, I ask, now 
that they find this charge when all expenses of secretary, 
clerks, ete., have been defrayed still yields a handsome sur- 
plus, don’t they reduce the fee to 6d.? That would be a 
straightforward course, but that would be no recommendation 
to some of the shifty spirits who museuids the councillors of 
the club. They admit the surplus, they want to be frank 
about it, oh, yes, “We don’t want to make money out of 
yous we will save up the profits, and now and then, if you 
ehaye yourselves, you know, and hold your show under our 
rules, we'll give you a tywo-guinea prize, do you see?” This is 
all very well, but the Kennel Club, august a body asit may be, 
is hardly big enough to replace the direction from which the 
unknown good was to come when we are told, as in our ehild- 
hood to “shut our eyes and open our mouths” and see what 
might be sent to us. We have no guarantee that all the 
surplus is so expended, and having it, should not be satisfied 
that it was employed to such selfish ends. A, popular move 
would be the immediate reduction of the fea to 6d. and an ~ 
arrangement with provincial shows for their keeping their 
own fees, or part of therm, 
The generosity of the Birmingham control can be appreciated 
when {mention that a casual glance through the schedule 
shows £8 to be the value of many of the first prizes, 
Hull has issued a very complete schedule, and for their class 
of exhibition the prizes are handsome. Among the judges 
are the Rey. W. J. Mellor and Mr. Lort. The latter has 
twenty classes to himself, so some blunders may be Seveer 
To my notes of the 26th of August I introduced the leading 
article, “Is This Right,’ from the Shooling Times upon Mr. 
George Lowe. I described it then as ‘unjust and ill-advised,” 
and proceeded to give my reasons for that opinion, The 
Shooting Times of the 26th of September appears with “an 
ample apology to Mr. George Lowe for suggesting that he had 
written articles on public questions for sere motives,” and 
it is signed L. Clement. The form of the apology is of Mr. 
Lowe's own choosing, and appeaz’s with the same conspicuous- 
ness as the libel enjoyed, namely, in leader type. I believe 
they hke leeks in Wales, but they are not pleasant eating in 
Goswell road. Let the Wildfowler stick fo his puntgun and 
leave these ‘‘Pistol” pranks alone, k y 
T observed with amusement that ‘‘Wildfowler” quoted my 
notes to help him digest the Welsh vegetable. J am sure 1 am 
yery glad to haye written anything that gave gastric assist- 
ance in the feat, and it furnishes me with an opportunity to 
point out a little injustice he is guilty of. As on former occa- 
sions, when he has published extracts from my notes, he in- 
troduces them vaguely thus, “A writer in FoREST AND STREAM 
says.” Is there any reason for not mentioning that the writer 
is “Lillibulero.” I think not. I believe itis a simple omission 
so verb, sap. On such a question Mr. Clement is among the 
wisest, for nobody can better appreciate the yalue of a well- 
known nom de plume than the man who has turned his own 
to such good account. a 
That the St. Bernard-Club will this year hold their show in 
the Knightsbridge Riding School againis news. The riding 
school is the private property of the Duke of Wellington, Dur- 
ing the London season it is frequently loaned to charitable 
societies to hold their bazars in, and it was dune to the enter- 
prise of Mr. Wyndham Carter that consent was obtained for 
holding a dog show there. I think the good graces of the 
Ducal coachman were first secured by the tactful Mr. Carter, 
and J suppose ‘‘thera was a matter of a five pound note bs- 
tween them.” I never thought His Grace’s coachman would 
stand it again after the one experience of the stench and noise 
of a dog show; but I imagine the ‘jingle of the guinea” 
drowned the noise. The Duke, however, died lately, and so 
the school belongs to another, the present holder of the title, 
but from the news [ mention I conclude he has kept on the 
coachman. Itisasplendid situation, and when well adyer- 
tised by sandwich men attracts a great many visitors. The 
first show was a splendid success owing to the unfla pen, 
energy of the Key. Arthur Carter, Hon. Secretary ;Mr. Wynd- 
ham Carter, Hon. Treasurer, and Mr. J. Grant-Crawfurd, 
Hon. Manager. The last named was afterward presented 
with a handsome souvenir by the committee. 
In a case lately brought before one of the City of London 
Aldermen against the owner of a dog that had bitten the 
prosecutor, it transpired that the defendant had remarked b 
way of comfort to the victim, that “the dog had his tee 
cleaned every week.” Mr. Hugh Dalziel, the well-known 
author of ‘Diseases of the Dog,” has written to the Stock 
Keeper ridiculing the idea, but J am inclined to think that the 
impetuous Corsican has overshot the mark. Every novice 
knows that if the dog really has ay aor the cleanliness 
of his teeth will not avert the effect of his bite, bub it is also 
equally well-known that very inconvenient though not posi- 
tively dangerous effects may result from the bite of a healthy 
dog if ‘he has been eating offal, and what dog won't if he get 
thé chance; the wound would thus become poisoned unless 
dog had bad his teeth cleaned beforehand.
