BIRMINGHAM BENCH SHOW. 
Apae National Dog Show Society held their twenty-fifth 
_ annual exhibition of sporting and non-sporting dogs in 
the Curzon Hall, Birmingham, Dee. 1, 2,3 and 4, the total 
entry being 966, which was in our opinion a considerable 
numben aver what there is sufficient room for. However, 
taken altogether, it was as a show one of the most successful 
ever held, and as nsual at Birmingham the management was 
all that could be desired; in fact the management of Birming- 
ham shows has always been much superior to any other it 
has been our lot to attend. The quality of the setters, point- 
ers and spaniels were about the best classes of these varieties 
we have ever seen together, while bull, white, and black and 
tan terriers madea good show; and Airedales were a good lot, 
one of which was claimed at £50, a pretty high figure for an 
Airedale terrier; £300 was refused forthe black spaniel dog 
Solus, and we believe the spaniel bitch Coy changed hands at 
£120, while Carol, her own sister, was claimed at catalogue 
price. Tu collies Mr. Bodington’s Matchless, by Rutland, was 
claimed at £100, certainly a long price for a nine-months 
Uppy. 
ie Ulsodhounds as a collection were moderate and few in num- 
ber, only six in three classes. : 
In champion deerhounds Mr. Hickman had three entries, 
Lord of the Isles winning. He was rather light in flesh, but 
is a good dog, very deep in chest, but short of neck and 
straight in shoulder, arwick, first in dogs, a good speci- 
men, Second prize, Corrie II,, another good one, a trifle light 
in color. Wethink Gunnar, ¢,, ought to have been further up, 
First in bitches, like the winner in the Hes Aen was bred by 
the Rey, G. F. Hodson, and a credit to her breeder, second 
rize going to Mr. Hickman’s Barra, rather fine and legry. 
This class was a very large one, but contained a lot of very 
moderate animals, the majority of which were five-months 
uppies. 
. fy one entry in greyhound champion class and it was re- 
moved by the veterinary surreon. Memnon, well-known, won 
in the open dog class, a black and white coming second, with 
Cassells, unnoticed, which certainly seemed strange. ashe was 
in grand formand a well-known good one, Acalia won in 
bitches, Lancashire Witch, c., rather hard lines. Rose Maria, 
vhe. reserve. This bitch keeps up well, considering the num- 
ber of puppies she has reared, and no doubt either as a show 
bitch or a brood bitch, she has few equals. Duchess of Albany 
was absent. 
Beagles, four entries, only two turning up, Abigail winning 
easy. 
Five entries in champion fox-terriers; Brokenhurst Rally 
once more winning, with Lady Grace yhe. reserve. Rally 
was looking in his best form, but were it not for Lady Grace 
being rather short in coat, we don’t know one we fancy more, 
always looking well and such a good one to show her- 
self. Large-sized fox-terriers were a poor Jot. Fox-ter- 
riers, under 18 pounds weight; first, Raby Nailor, which we 
have reported on before. We consider Mr, Clarke’s Reckoner 
and Forest ought to have been mentioned here, but what 
sSeenis strange, Reckoner won first in puppies, and after won 
special cup for best in show, beating all the dogs in the class 
where he was unnoticed. eis a good stamp, hisappear.nce 
being a little interfered with owing to his head being all black, 
We also think Raby Mixture should have been noticed, as he 
is one of the best of terriers, bar his head which, when exam- 
ined closely, is much better than it appears at the first look. 
In the next class, Meersbrook Model, which in our opinion is 
one of the best bitches liying, won first and cup, closely pressed 
by Richmond Patchwork, who was looking well. This bitch 
is heayily marked hound tan in color which, to our mind, does 
not give her the character derived from a properly-marked 
black and tan head. Wire-haired fox-terriers moderate. A 
brindle-marked dog, rather full in cheek, first, and was after- 
ward beaten by the first prize bitch, which we think was not 
correct. As a class they were very deficient in coat, difficult 
to find two with the same kind of coat. 
Pointers, as usnal ab Birmingham, a grand display, never- 
theless we believe the English setter classes really excelled 
the pointers, However, we seldom see such a collection of 
sporting dogs as we do at Birmingham, and we consider the 
gathering of 1884 the best yet brought together. Champion 
pointers, four entries, two of which were absent. Graphic, 
often reported upon, winning, his opponent being too short 
and thick of head, otherwise a good dog. Open class, dogs, 
Duke, uunoticed, is a good liver and white, rather fine of bone, 
but we prefered him to the thick-headed Joe, vhe. Don 
Pedro was badly shown, but he ought to have been mentioned. 
Lake, second prize, a very handsome dog, might show more 
quality inhead. Don IX., first, isa dirty lemon ticked dog, 
which gives him anything but a taking appearance; neverthe- 
less, when he is reckoned up he is certainly a grand made dog, 
standing on extraordinary feet and legs, with a good skull and. 
well set on ears, but might be better before the eye. Wecon- 
sider, if he was a well-marked liver and white, he would be 
most dificult to beat, Zeus, vhe., is another good specimen. 
Large size bitches, Belle of Bow, well-known, a grand bitch, 
looking her best. Second to Mr, Norrish’s lemon and white 
bitch champion Beryl. Small-sized dogs brought out no new 
ones. Dick, plain in face, Devon Sam, a heavily marked liver 
and white, came third, and we preferred him to the second 
prize, Romp, which struck us as being light of body and alto- 
gethera plain specimen, Small bitches, Flotsam and Jetsam, 
two blacks, show quality, and shown in wretched condition, 
Negress, ¢., another black. Jenny of Homestay, third, a very 
nice, sweet little bitch, and certainly a bargain at catalogue 
price, £10. First, Beau ldeal, we have reported on former 
occasions, and was improved since we saw her last, Puppies; 
nothing good in the class; the winner was catalogued at 
Seven guineas and sold, In the class for field trial winners, 
Bow Bells, looking well, won. 
Tn setters the field trial winners made a show. BHleyen 
entries, no less than ten of which were the property of Mr. 
Llewellin, while he was actually the’ breeder of them all, 
Count Wind’em was awarded first, which position he was 
certainly entitled to; while the others were all good dogs and 
shown in good coat and condition. Count Wind’em also won 
in the champion class, beating Royal Rock, Novelty and Roy- 
alty. Inthe open dog class the first and second prize winners 
were good, well-made dogs, rather large of ear and lack 
character about head. Wepreferred Mr. Frane’s Young Rock 
to either of the winners, while we considered Mr. Liewellin’s 
Moss Wind’em equal to any in the class; this dog was heavily 
marked on one side of the head. However, there was scarcely 
a dog in the class that did not possess merit enough to win in 
any ordinary company. The bitches were, as a class, not so 
xed as the dogs, Novel and Novelette, both in wretched con- 
ition. Third prize a sweet, pleasant face, good in body, etc., 
and shown in-good coat and condition; if anything, rather 
heavy in flesh, 
In black and tan setters, champions, Czarina won, haying no 
opponent, but good enough to win even in the keenest com- 
petition, In open dogs we noticed the judge went in for dogs 
more of the ald type, and selected dogs possessing substance 
and stronger in head than what we have been in the habit of 
seeing in Scotland lately—where dogs more of the type of Irish 
setter (for color) have been winning. Beaumont’s appearance 
was more or Jess spoiled by his ears being too high op his 
head, while the second prize winner was broad in skull and as 
largein the earasa spaniel, Third, dark in color and wavy 
in coat, In bitches Weather Beauty won. She was here 
looking better than when we saw her at Dublin. 
In Irish setters Garryowen won, and as usual in the pink 
of condition, Bob possesses a good head of the true Palmerston 
type, but is showing age, and his quarters were always his 
weak point, Open dog class, Roden, vhe., wants bone, Samuel, 
second prize, a good, strong, useful dog not possessing enough 
ef quality. King Billy, he., might haye been further up; he 
— 
isa good color, good head, stands well up on his legs but 
shown rather thin, which gaye him a leggy appearance. 
Lismore, the winner, is goud in body, feet, legs and coat, but 
would be improved by being darker in colorand ears being 
set a little lower down. Bitches, Frog, second prize, rather 
coarse, Wee Kate looking well and won correctly; we 
reported upon her at Dublin. Setter puppies contained 
nothing good, nor likely to be heard of again. 
Tn Trish water spaniels, dogs, Young Larry Doolan, second 
at Dublin, won: and in bitches we preferred the well-known 
Young Hilda to the winner. ; 
Tn champion Clumbers, only one entry, and she was looking 
well for her years. In open class, dogs, we think the vhe., 
should have been second, and Barney yvhe,, Physcho being 
properly first, but his condition was not quite up to the mark. 
Tn bitches we consider the winner the worst in the class, bad 
in head and ears, also color. We consider Hilda, c,, and the 
second prize winner by «# long way the best in the class. The 
Duke of Portland exhibited his Clumbers not for competition. 
Tn Sussex and liyer-colored spaniels we would have placed 
Guy first, the winner being bad in eye and expression, while 
the second prize was leggy and very short of coat. Bitches, 
Brida IJ. won, the other prizes being withheld for want of 
¢ompetition. She was shown too fat but won easily, 
In spaniels, black and other than black Squaw and Solus 
were again placed equal first. We cannot see how they are 
equal, a8 wé consider Solus ought to win and especially upon 
this occasion, for by the same judges they were placed equal 
first at the Crystal Palace, both dogs looking well, while 
here Solus was looking better than weever saw him and 
Squaw not near her old form, However, we saw £800 refused 
for Solus. In open elass black spaniel dogs all the winners 
were well known, and we would have placed Roysterer first, 
the winner being sour in head and crooked of his legs. 
Bitches were the best class we have yet seen. The winner is 
rather strong in head, but for lowness of leg and length of 
body she is extraordinary. Coy, second, is another good one 
and might besweeterin head, however, we believe she changed 
hands at £120, while her sister Carol, yhe. reserye, was 
claimed at her catalogue price £36 5s, Of the two we consider 
the latter about equally as good as the former, being better 
in head if not so low in leg, as at present we have rather more 
low-legged spaniels than we have good headed ones. In other 
colored spaniels equal firsts were Sir Garnet and Hasten’s 
Bruce, both well known and often reported upon, In bitches 
the pretty colored Fanciful, also well known, first. Mr. Lort’s 
cup was won by Mr. Jacob’s team of seven, 
In champion mastiffs only Crown Princess entered, Open 
dogs, Montgomery, still improving, first; yet he will never be 
on his legs what we would wish him, and he is certainly too 
much undershot. King Canute, lame, removed from the 
show. Bismark, brother to lhe Prince, ought,in our opinion, 
either to have been first or second. He is a large, powerfui 
dog, good body and good skull, not so short in face as the 
winner, but squarer in muzzle and larger, with better quarters. 
Only one bitch put in an appearance; good body and very 
plain head. 
Champion St. Bernards, three entries, Bayard winning and 
looking well, Open dogs not so good as what we see at the 
Crystal Palace, but yet the winners are well-known good ones. 
Valentine, first, reported on several times; while the second 
prize went to his kennel dompanion, Merchant Prince, who is 
a large young dog; white, with orange markings. Although 
he wants the strength and squareness of muzzle possessed by 
Valentine, he is a dog possessing considerable head qualities, 
First in bitches also went. to the same kennel, followed by a 
very moderate lot, the he., St, Bride, just as good as either the 
second or third prize winners. In smooth-coated dogs, the 
well-known Pedro won easy. Except being a size or two on 
the small side, Pedro is one of our best, Only & second was 
awarded in the bitch class. 
In Newfoundland dogs, King Bruce, first, is a trifle large of 
ear, but so good in body, legs, feet, size and coat, in fact such 
quality all round, that we consider him one of the best going. 
ourtier, smaller, of more pleasing type, but size and coat 
was so much in favor of King Bruce we quite indorse the 
decision. In bitches, champion Lady Mayoress, second prize; 
we understand the judge withheld first for want of merit, 
seems strange and her a champion, however, she was certainly 
much out of coat. Im Landseers, Charlemagne had no oppo- 
nents, he was looking well and fit to win even in good com- 
pany. 
Sheepdogs commenced with Charlemagne taking first in 
champion class. Then came bob-tailed sheepdogs, the winner 
being quite too large in ear and wanted character in head. 
Tn the bitch class we preferred the unnoticed, Gweullian, to 
any in the class, Open class sheepdogs, Time, vhe., black, 
white and tan, large of his ear. Scotch Laddie, black and 
white, very little tan, this dog carries a deal of coat, looks the 
worse of his age, and also seems deaf, We think Glencoe, un- 
noticed, might have had a card. Rutland, looking well, won. 
Romulus, vhe. reserve, small red dog, very little white, trifle 
large of ear, Clover, he., might have been further up. 
Sandy, a good collie, color, dark sable, not in good bloom. 
Charlatan, yvhe., too fine. Bob Bruce not quite Mr. Bissell’s 
form; his coat is getting too wavy and open. Bitches: Match- 
less, by Rutland, won first, but was afterward beaten in the 
puppy class, However, she was afterward claimed at £100, 
catalogue price. She is a most beautiful bitch, black and tan 
in color, good coat, etc,, yet we can’t see that she can improve, 
and owing to her age, no doubt she will alter; if so, the ques- 
tion arises, willit be for the better or worse? Matchless was 
second in puppy class. Bertha second in open bitches and third 
in puppies, isa grand upstanding young bitch, looking well, 
and with plenty of room for improvement; in fact, we con- 
sidered ber the best bitch in the show, and expect to see her 
again. Daisy, a daughter of Helipse, was successful in win- 
ning first in puppies, beating both Matchless and Bertha, first 
and second in open class. Daisy is a small red bitch, beauti- 
ful head and ears. good Goat, etc., but shown so fat that she 
looked more the stamp of a shorthorn than a collie. 
In two classes for Dalmatians, only six entries, Mr. Fawdry 
sending four, and as usual, taking the money. 
Bend Or, without an opponent, was first inchampion bull- 
dogs. Open class, first. Rustie King, not quite in the condition 
he ought to be in, and we consider he was closely pressed by 
Black Prince, who, although long of his back, is a yery good 
allround dog. Third, white dog, marked face, about the best 
bodied dog in the class, but falls off before the eyes. Lord 
Nelson, vihe., often reported upon. Frincess Ida, first in 
bitches, another daughter of Bend Or’s, is a good brindle and 
white, good bone, head, etc., and cheap at her catalogne 
price, £20, second prize falling to a moderate red bitch with 
no wrinkle. Monarch III., well known, won in small-sized 
dogs. White Ridotto, full sister to Rustic Eme, won in small- 
sized bifches, The cup for best bulldog in the show was won 
by Mr. Raper’s Rustic King, who we think ought to have 
stood aside in favor of his father, Bend Or, who in our opinion 
is still equal to his son, and on this occasion his condition was 
very much superior. 
Bull-terriers were the best classes we have seen for some 
years, The winners in large-size dogs are well known, and 
we quite agree with the position of the three first—Cairo, 
Max Marx and Count. The same may be said of the large- 
sized bitches. Nevertheless we think Magsie May II, worth 
more than he., and no doubt she is equal all round to the sec- 
ond prize winner, Kettering Magzie, who is decidedly thick 
and short of face, although her body is really good. Little 
Victor won well in small-sized dogs, as also did Florence in 
bitcheg. The latter is about the best we Enow, but we would 
prefer her better before the eye, 
Leading Stat won once more in a good class of white English 
terriers. Tha second prize is also well known, but too fine all 
over. The winner in the bitch class is a fair good one, and is 
sired by the same dog as Florence, winner in small bull-ter- 
riers, 
In champion black and tan terriers Burke once more heat 
Wheel of Fortune and Hmpress. His head, we believe, is bet- 
ter than when we saw him first. The first and second prize 
dogs in the open class, Ben and Sir Edward, are both sired by 
him; the former isa clinker, might be better in eye, while 
the Jatter is well known, He and Debonair, vhc. and reserve, 
might be betterin shotilders. Very little to choose between 
first and second prizein bitches; both good ones and well 
marked. No less than seyenteen entries in the small-sized 
class, first going to a very handsome little bitch, uncropped, 
who also won the special cup offered by the Black and Tan 
Terrier’s Glib. She is very good in marking, good body, legs 
and feet; might be better below the eyes, in which point the 
second prize winner beats her, while the latter is not so good 
in quarters or general make-up. : 
Skye terriers, prick-eared dogs, first to Kingston Roy, well 
known, and in the bitch class, Kingston Queen, from the same 
kennel, won. Scottish Queen being absent. The winner in the 
drop-eared division wasreported upon at Hdinburgh, where 
he was second, and we were not surprised to see him turn up 
first bere or anywhere he may be shown. 
In Scotch terriers, Capt. Mackie, as ustial, won all before 
him, No denying his exhibits. 
We heard considerable amount of grumbling in the Bed- 
lington classes, and no doubt the judge was heavily handi- 
capped in giving his awards, as we consider this a most diffi- 
cult doz to judge except where there is plenty of room and a 
large ring is never to be had at Birmingham, 
Irish terriers, yery moderate classes, and except in bitches, 
the quality was net up to what we expect to see at Birming- 
ham. However, the bitch class was remarkable for quality, 
the three at the head being all well-known good ones, Pretty 
Lass locking better than we have seen her for a long while. 
Yorkshire terriers, Conqueror one more first; second to a 
small-sized one, the property of Mr. Foster, whose well-known 
Bradford Hero was vhe. reserve; the latter’s color is going 
away, otherwise he is looking as well as ever. 
Only three Pomeranians put in an appearance, two white 
and a black, the latter winning, and we believe was afterward. 
disqualitied for being deaf. 
Poodles as a class indifferent, aud we noticed most of them 
changed hands during the show. No entries in Maltese, 
Italian greyhounds were a good lot, the winner looking as 
well as when we saw her first here about five years ago; sec- 
ond, another good one, showing age. 
Blenheim spaniels, about the best class of this variety we 
have seen for years. The winner is a good dog with a very 
distinet spot and not much markings on body, his eyes are too 
small, and he might be better in nose. We preferred the 
second prize, Flossie I!., to anything in the class. True, she 
has no spot, but what a face and skull for a bitch. 
King Charles, first to Jumbo II., well-known, Mr. Baggs out 
of the way this time. The second and third are both good 
specimens, good coat and color hut quite too large. 
Smooth-haired toys, We see Sybil entered here in Mr. 
Swinburn’s name and, of course, absent, having died suddenly 
at Hull, where she was cqual first with a Yorkshire. Not 
much to choose between Dolly and Dinah, first and second 
here. 
In broken-haired toys Lady Bective had no opposition; yet 
wesee the Conqueror entered and marked absent, although 
he won first in Yorkshires.
