MR. FRANK WINDOHLZ'S BLUE BELTON ENGLISH SETTER DOG "ROCKINGHAM." 

 Winner of First Prize in Open Class for English Setters, New Haven. 1885. 



ROCKINGHAM. 



TTTE give an illustration this week of the. English setter dog 

 \ V Rockingham, winner of first and also special for the 

 best setter at the New Haven show. Rockingham was whelped 

 April 27, 1882, and is by Beltbus (champion Rock— Meg) out of 

 Greenbank's Bess. He is a very handsome blue belton of good 

 sizej and capitally put together. He is registered in the 

 E.K.C.S.B. as Winder, No. 13,697, and won third in sporting 

 puppies at Sheffield, Eng., April, 1S83. His name was changed 

 to Rockingham, under which name he has won in England 

 second at Hull; first, Doncaster; first, Filey; first, Todmorden; 

 first. Barnsley; first, Dundee; first, West Bromwich, and first 

 and cup at Fylde. He has beat Young Rock HI. and Osman 

 VI., the first and second prize winners at the late Crystal 

 Palace Show. The sketch is by Mr. A. W. Roberts. It was 

 made from a photograph, and is a good likeness of the dog. 



"LILLIBULERO'S" LITTLE JOKE.— When a joke is so 

 obscure that it has not only to be pointed out, but taken by 

 the scruff of the neck and hauled from its lurking place to be 

 exhibited to the world and its fun descanted on, it is safe to 

 call it an outcast of the family, and its flavor is found to be 

 that of very flat fourpenny. I have no such reason for disin- 

 terring "Liilibulero's" little joke on the Crown Prince pedigree 

 case. It is not dead, has not been buried, and it is not stale, 

 but bright, sparkling, fresh, and frisky as a bottle of Bass's 

 East India pale. In Pobesx and Stream— which paper "Lilli- 

 bulero" is making very popular in England, especially in the 

 offices of the Field and hive Stock Journal — the writer says of 

 the Crown Prince controversy: "It is dead against the club; 

 though there has been more wool and less cry, it has not saved 

 the Cook a roasting." The italics are mine, and represent the 

 surgical operation necessary to get the joke into the heads of 

 my countrymen. Of course other readers of the Stock Keeper 

 need no such aid.— Corsincon, in Stock Keeper. 



THE PHILADELPHIA KENNEL CLUB'S MAY DOG 

 SHOW.— The Industrial Art Hall, where the Philadelphia 

 Kennel Club's May show will be held, is a very roomy build- 

 ing, and can accommodate 750 dogs comfortably. A measure- 

 ment of the two rooms, which are adjoining, gives 145x98 

 feet, and 70x60 feet. It is proposed to have the large classes 

 benched in the main hall and the toys in the smaller room. A 

 lot next to the building will be secured for exercising the ani- 

 mals, and every effort is to be made to make the show the 

 most successful ever held in this city. The premium list, 

 which will be out to-morrow, will show that larger money 

 prizes are offered than any yet published in addition to the 

 club's handsome medal. Mr. Diffenderfer, who has been made 

 superintendent, was asked last week to judge in Cincinnati, 

 but as the date of the latter show will fall at about the time 

 of closing of our entiles, he has been obliged to decline.— Homo. 



A CARD PROM " WILDFOWLER,"— London. March 13.— 

 Editor Forest and Stream: Mr. Kent says: "Mr. Clement 

 has kept both dog and money and will hot reply to several 

 letters which I have written him." Mr. Kent is wrong 

 throughout. To begin with, your paper reached here on Wed- 

 nesday, the 11th, and (1) his dog had been sent on Saturday, 

 the 7th, per Grecian Monarch. (2) Several letters written to 

 him have been returned to me marked "Dead." I inclose 

 one.— L. Clement (" Wildfowl er"), editor of Shooting Times. 

 [The envelope accompanying the above was addressed to " F. 

 Kent, Esq., Monticello Kennels, New York, America," and was 

 returned to writer. The first London postmark is Dec. 24, 

 1881, and it was received at New York post-office, Jan. :-], 1885.] 



POINTER LOST.— Stanton, Mich., March 25.— Editor Forest 

 and Stream: I would like to ask the readers of your valuable 

 paper to be on the lookout for a strav pointer. Last Decem- 

 ber he was shipped to Chattanooga, Tenn., to be trained, and 

 about an hour before the trainer called for him he escaped 

 from the kennel in the city and has not been recovered, al- 

 though diligeut search has been made and a reward offered. 

 He is liver and white, evenly marked with large patches of 

 liver on sides and one at set on of tail. Has white nose, with 

 white strip between the eyes, but not extending over top of 

 head ; carries his fail rather high and slightly curved, and 

 answers to the name of Rival. He is by Crbxtethout of 

 Countess Rival, and a very valuable dog. Any information 

 leading to his recovery will be liberally rewarded. — W. J. Per- 

 CIVAIj. ^___ 



THE PIERCE DISQUALIFICATION.— Editor Forest and 

 Sti'cani: I do not agree with your interpretation of the pow- 

 ers of superintendent in regard to the discpialification of Mr. 

 Pierce. He certainly was not authorized to go behind the 

 rules, and had he ruled adversely to any exhibitor, said ex- 

 nibitor would have appealed fed managers. If Mr. Lincoln 

 accepted Mr. Pierce's entry knowing that he was not the 

 owner of Reeta, he violated the rales governing the kennel 

 prize. I claim that Mr. Pierce won the kennel prize through 

 misrepresentation, and that upon the facts concerning her 

 ownership being brought before the managers, they were 

 bound, in justice to other exhibitors and the public, to take 

 action in the matter.— Wm. H. Child (Philadelphia, March 28). 



CHALLENGE.— Mr. Tallman's challenge is accepted, and 

 I am ready to show Rockingham against Foreman for §100, the 

 sum named by Mr. Tallman. But I would prefer the match to 

 be for 8500 a side, and I hope Mr. Tallman will increase the 

 amount. I am quite willing that Plantagenet should figure in 

 the race. The affair can be settled at the New York Show. 

 But Rockingham will not compete in the regular class. If 

 Mr. Tallman will name his judge, and deposit a forfeit with 

 some reputable paper he will hear f romme at once.— F. Wind- 

 holz (New York, March 31, 1885). 



BREEDING OF BEAUFORT.— Marion, Ala.. March 25.— 

 Editor Forest and Stream: Will Mr. Chas. H. Mason please 

 correct his entry in the American Kennel Register concerning 

 Beaufort? Ho was bred by me and sold to Mr. Nixon, of 

 Leesburg, Va., from whom I suppose Mr. Mason got him. — 

 W. W. Legare. 



NEW HAVEN DOG SHOW CATALOGUES.— Editor For- 

 est and Stream: Catalogues of the late show of the New 

 Haven Kennel Club will be sent free to any one sending 

 stamped and addressed newspaper wrapper to the New Haven 

 Kennel Club, Box 657, New Haven, Conn.— E. S. Porter, Sec. 



A BIG DOG HOAX.— Monticello, March 21.— Editor Forest 

 and Stream: The large dog said to belong to Daniel Louus- 

 bury, of Hurley ville, this coiuity, is all a hoax. Mr. Louns- 

 buvy has no dog at all. The letter was written by a college 

 student home on a vacation, for a take off on Mr. Lounsbury. 

 — C, F. Kent. 



FOX-TERRIER SALE.— Messrs. L. & W. Rutherfurd had 

 their third annual sale of fox-terriers at the American Horse 

 Exchange, New York, on Saturday, Sixteen were sold. The 

 prices, except in two or three instances, were not satisfactory, 



THE BERGHUND has gone to join the dugong. 



WHAT IS A COCKER?— This is the cliff of granite upon 

 which cocker breeders have been clawing with their finger 

 nails for the past tenth of a century, and still no advance na-5 

 been made. At the coming St. Louis sho w they will have- two 

 standards, that of the American Cocker Spaniel Club and that 

 of the International Cocker Spaniel Association. However, 

 the old-time cocker "must go;" in fact, he is going, as any one 

 may see who attends bench shows. It is simply a question of 

 supply and demand. The public does not want the old-time 

 cocker, consequently the old-time cocker's dog day has passed. 



NATURAL HISTORY NOTE.— All animals have their good 

 points, but for abundance of the same none can compete with 

 the porcupine. — Yonkers Gazette. Especially if the "Porcu- 

 pine's" points happen to be dog points. 



ENGLISH KENNEL NOTES have been crowded out. 



WHICH best serves the interest of exhibitors, an impartial 

 description of the animals shown, or garbled statements of 

 facts and totally unreliable criticism?
