THE CINCINNATI DOG SHOW. 



THE list of judges for the Cincinnati Dog Show, to be held 

 at Cincinnati, O., May 5 to 8, so far as they have been ap- 

 appointed, is as follows: Mr. Hugh Dalziel, all the non-sport- 

 ing classes; Major J. M. Taylor, English setters; Mr. B. F. 

 Seitner, Dayton, O., pointers. Among the valuable special 

 prizes offered is one of an oil painting, value §200, for the best 

 kennel of six mastiffs owned or bred by the exhibitor, and one 

 of 850 cash for the best kennel of St. Bernards, rough or 

 smooth, or either; also a prize valued at $50, for the person 

 exhibiting the largest number of dogs. Nearly all breeds will 

 receive one or more. 



At a meeting of the Cincinnati Railroad Association, passen- 

 ger department, held in Cincinnati March 2J3, the following 

 was adopted, viz.: "Resolved., That no reduction will be made 

 to the public on account of 'che bench show to be held in Cin- 

 cinnati May 5, 6, 7 and 8, but to sell exhibitors and their as- 

 sistants on presentation of entrance receipt, special tickets 

 from St Louis, Chicago, Toledo, Indianapolis, Cleveland, Sala- 

 manca, Pittsbui-gh. Louisville, Richmond, Park ersburg and 

 intermediate stations, also from points on the Cincinnati, New 

 Orleans & Texas Pacific and Louisville & Nashville. Railroad, 

 and the Illinois Central Railroad south of Odin to Cincinnati 

 and return, at rate of one limited fare for the round trip. 

 Tickets are to be sold thus on presentation of entrance receipt 

 April 38 to May 4, inclusive, and made good for return until 

 May 11, 1885, inclusive. Dogs in crates are to be passed free 

 in both directions at owner's risk." In order that exhibitors 

 may get the full benefit of the action of the representatives of 

 Cincinnati lines, I would suggest that entries be made as soon 

 as possible, and that exhibitors write ruefully stating by which 

 route they wish to come to Cincinnati, and the station from 

 which they will start. I will at once send them all necessary 

 instructions, giving name of railroad official to whom to apply 

 for reduced ticket and manner of securing instructions to bag- 

 gage masters to pass dogs free. Parties living off the line of 

 the roads covered by the territory mentioned would do well 

 to write me, as full and explicit instructions cannot be given 

 through the press. Washington A. Costkr, Sup't. 



THE AMERICAN FOX-TERRIER CLUB. 



\ T a meeting held last even'ng at Delmonico's, in this city,

 President, Mr. L. M. Rutherfurd, Jr. ; Vice-President. Mr. 

 F. R. Hitchcock: Secretary-Treasurer, Mr. Edward Kelly. 

 The standard of the English Fox-Terrier Club was adopted.

 payable on election; the fiscal year beginning Jan. 1. The first 

 annual meeting will be held at the coming Westminster- Ken-

 puppy. 



All communications to be made to Mr. Edward Kelly, Sec- 

 retary-Treasurer, 185 Fifth avenue, New York. 



POINTS OF THE FOX-TERRIER. 



Following is the standard recommended by the Fox-Terrier 

 Club: 



1. Head. — The Skull should be flat and moderately narrow, 

 and gradually decreasing in width to the eyes. Not much 

 "stop" should b2 apparent, but there should be more dip in 

 the profile between the forehead and top jaw than is seen in 

 the case of a greyhound. 



The Cheeks must not be full. 



The Ears should be V-shaped and small, of moderate thick- 

 ness, and drooping forward close to the cheek, not hanging by 

 the side of the head like, a foxhound's. 



The Jaw, upper and under, should be strong and muscular. 

 Should be of fair punishing strength, but not so in any way to 

 resemble the greyhound or modern English terrier. There ! 

 should not be much falling away below the eyes. This part 

 of the head should, however, be moderately chiselled out, so 

 as not to go down m a straight slope like a wedge. 



The Nose, toward which the muzzle must gradually taper, 

 should be black. 



The Eyes and the rims should be dark in color, small and 

 rather deep set, full of fire, life and intelligence ; as nearly as 

 possible circular in shape. 



The Teeth should be as nearly as possible level, i. e., the 

 upper teeth on the outside of the lower teeth. 



2. Neck, — Should be clean and muscular, without throati- 

 ness, of fair length, and gradually widening to the shoulders. 



3. Shoulders.— Should be long and sloping, well laid back, 

 fine at the points, and clearly cut at the withers. 



Chest. — Deep and not broad. 



4. Back,— Should be short, straight and strong, with no 

 appearance of slackness. 



Loin. — Should be powerful and very slightly arched. The 

 fore- ribs should be moderately arched, the back ribs deep; and 

 the dog should be well ribbed up. 



5. Hind Quarters,— Should be strong and muscular, quite 

 free from droop or crouch; the thighs long and power- 

 ful ; hocks near the ground, the dog standing well up on them 

 like a foxhound, and not straight in the stifle. 



6. Stern.— Should be set on high, and carried gaily, but not 

 over the back or curled. It should be of good strength., any- 

 thing approaching a "pipe-stopper" tail being especially 

 objectionable. 



7. Legs.— Viewed in any direction must be straight, showing- 

 little or no appearance of ankle in front. They should be 

 strong in bone throughout, short and straight in pastern. 

 Both fore and hindlegs should be carried straight forward in 

 traveling, the stifles not turning outward. The elbows 

 should hang perpendicularly to the body, working free of the 



Fee*.— Should be round, compact and not large. The soles 

 hard and tough. The toes moderately arched, and turned 

 neither in nor out. 



8. Coat— Should be smooth, flat, but hard, dense and 

 abundant. The belly and under side of the thighs should not 

 be bare. 



9. Color.— White should predominate; briudle, red, or liver 

 markings are objectionable. Otherwise this point is of little 

 or no importance. 



10. Symmetry, size and character.— The dog must present a 

 generally gay, lively and active appearance; bone and strength 

 in a small compass are essentials; but this must not be taken 

 to mean that a fox-terrier should be cloggy, or in any way 

 coarse— speed and endurance must be looked to as well as 

 power, and the symmetry of the foxhound taken as a model. 

 The terrier, like the hound, must on no account be leggy, nor 

 must he be too short in the leg. He should stand like a 

 cleverly made hunter, covering a lot of ground, yet with a 

 short back, as before stated. He will then attain the highest 

 degree of propelling power together with the greatest length 

 of stride that is compatible with the length of his body. 

 Weight is not a certain criterion of a tei-rier's fitness for his 



work — general shape, size and contour are the main points ; 

 and if a dog can gallop and stay, and follow his fox up a drain, 

 it matters little what his weight is to a pound or so. Though, 

 roughly speaking, it may be said that he should not scale over 

 201bs. in show condition. 



WIRE-HAIRED FOX-TERRIER. 



This variety of the breed should resemble the smooth sort in 

 every respect except the coat, which should be broken. The 

 harder and more wiry the texture of the coat is, the better. 

 On no account should the dog look or feel woolly ; and there 

 should be no silky hair about the poll or elsewhere. The coat 

 should not be too long, so as to give the dog a shaggy appear- 

 ance; but at the same it should show a marked and distinct 

 difference all over from the smooth species.

A CRITIC CRITICISED.— New York City, April 2, 1885.— 

 Editor Forest and Stream: I would beg to take exception to 

 a line or two in Mr. Mason's letter in your issue of to-day. 

 While "killing the Western paper" and fending off approach- 

 ing dissolution held over his own devoted head by that sheet, 

 he hesitates not in bringing to public notice the defects (?), or 

 viae x^ersa, of any dog that may serve his purpose for a clinch- 

 ing (?) argument. For instance, in speaking of the chestnut 

 and tan field spaniel bitch, Newton Abbot Lady— a new ad- 

 dition to ray kennel— he quotes the Western paper, which 

 speaks well of her, and then to off-set their favorable com- 

 ment, mentions three or four physical defects, which exist 

 only in his own eye. To quote him : "First * * * went to 

 a bitch that has a Roman nose, is throaty, and too short in the 

 back," and forgets to add, "but is one of the shortest-legged, 

 and best-coated spaniels this country has ever seen, and withal 

 is full of tiue spaniel quality," which he might readily have 

 done. I grant that she is a trifle throaty, but do not acknowl- 

 edge the other defects. To mention two or three bad points 

 in a dog, in the manner that Mr, Mason has done (omitting all 

 good ones), leaves your readers with an impression anything 

 but favorable to i„ To the bitch's credit let me say, that she 

 beat Black Prince (twelve prizes) under so good a judge as Mr. 

 Watson ; and Black Prince in turn beat champion Bob, Jr., 

 champion Bonanza, Critic (first, New York), Beppo, and others 

 at New Haven ; and at previous shows champion Beau (twenty- 

 two prizes), Toronto Jet, Success, Growler (first, Chicago, first, 

 Philadelphia), Bob III., etc.. etc., all of which, to my mind, 

 g^es to prove that the bitch is anythingbut the horrible piece 

 of canine flesh that he pictures her. While disclaiming any 

 desire for controversy with so redoutable an adversary as Mr. 

 Mason, I think that justice to Newton Abbot Lady demands 

 the foregoing explanation. — A. C. Wilmerdino, 



PHILADELPHIA SHOW PROSPECTS.— There are many 

 finely-bred imported doss of both the non-sporting and sport- 

 ing classes in Philadelphia that have never been exhibited at 

 any show. This has been especially noticed by members of 

 the Philadelphia Kennel Club, and commented upon at meet- 

 ings of the society. While the majority of these owners are 

 adverse to gaining notoriety, and have entirely ignored canine 

 exhibitions heretofore, a strong effort will be made to have 

 these animals placed upon the bench at Industrial Art Hall in 

 May. It has often been remarked by good judges that there 

 are dogs among those mentioned that would be winners in the 

 best companr, more especially in the non-sporting classes. 

 No effort will be spared to interest the owners of these valu- 

 able dogs and bring out the best specimens. We are glad to 

 see already not a few are making inquiry as to our rules and 

 regulations. — Homo. 



A MINNESOTA LAW.— Dog owners everywhere will feel 

 satisfaction at a law passed at the last session of the Minne- 

 sota Legislature and approved March 2, making dogs personal 

 property. The law is a wise one, and will be of benefit to all 

 classes of citizens. The act is as follows : "An act declaring 

 dogs to be personal property. Be it enacted by the Legislature 

 of the State of Minnesota: Section 1. All dogs owned or 

 kept by any person for domestic or personal use, or for pleas- 

 ure, are hereby declared to be personal property within the 

 purview and meaning of the criminal laws of this State, and 

 the laws of this State relating to larceny and malicious mis- 

 chief or injury, shall be construed to embrace and apply to 

 said animals. Sec. 2. This act shall take effect and be in 

 force from and after its passage. Approved March 2, 1885." 



THE AMERICAN COCKER SPANIEL CLUB.— The Pro- 

 duce Stakes for 1885 of the A. C. S. Club will be decided at 

 Toronto during the show to be held there May 13, 14 and 15 

 next. Eleven entiles have already been received. The club 

 gave a special prize of 810 at New Haven, and have offered 

 two of the same amount— one for the best dog and one for the 

 best bitch— at Boston, New York and Toronto. The fourth 

 annual general meeting will be held at the Horticultural Gar- 

 dens, Toronto, on Thursday, May 14, at 8 P. M. Those mem- 

 bers who may be unable to attend are specially requested to 

 be represented by proxy. Besides the usual business on that 

 occasion, the members will be asked to vote on the following 

 point: As to whether the time has not now arrived to extend 

 the sphere of the club, so as to take cognizance of all distinct 

 breeds of sporting spaniels. 



PACIFIC COAST FIELD TRIALS CLUB.— Editor Forest 

 and Stream: Mr. N. E. White having found it impossible, on 

 account of press of private business, to longer act as secretary 

 of the Pacific Coast Field Trials Club, has resigned. I have ap- 

 pointed Mi'. H. C. Bronn, of Sacramento, Cal. , to fill the unex- 

 pired term of Mr. White. All communications to the club 

 should be addressed to him. Entries for our Derby of 1885 

 close 1st of May next.— C. N. Post, President P. C. F. T. Club. 



THE ST. LOUIS DOG SHOW.— .Editor Forest and Stream: 

 The club has decided to substitute $5 cash prizes for ribbons 

 in the pointer and setter puppy classes. Valuable specials 

 will be offered for nearly all the classes. Among them is one 

 of 850 cash for the best kennel of mastiffs. Mr. H. W. Lucy, 

 of Demarest, N. J., will take charge of dogs from his vicinity 

 if owners wish. Entries close April 11.— G. W. Munson, Man- 

 ager (St. Louis, Mo., April 4). 



A STRAY COCKER SPANIEL.— A correspondent in Brook- 

 lyn, N. Y., writes that there is a stray fiver and white cocker 

 spaniel bitch in his vicinity that has recently had a litter of 

 puppies. She has been at her present place about five weeks. 

 If her owner will write to this office we will inform him of 

 her whereabouts. 



EASTERN FIELD TRIALS CLUB MEETING. -There will 

 be a meeting of the Board of Governors of the Eastern Field 

 Trials Club at the St. James Hotel, New York, on Tuesday 

 evening, April 14, at 8 :30. ,

RANGE AND GALLERY. 



SPRINGFIELD, Mass.— The Rod and Gun Bifte Cluh shot the tele- 

 graph match with the Pittsburgh Ritle Club Fast Lav, April 3, which 

 ended in favor of the Rod and Gun Club by three points. Rod and Gun 

 Cluh «0O, Pittsburgh 797. The day was a splendid one for ride shoot- 

 ing; there was a great deal of interest manifested in the match in the 

 city. There was also a large, attendance of spectators out at the 

 club's range, Lake Lookout. The conditions of the match were three 

 sighting shots, 200yds. off-hand, Massachusetts Jdeciraal target, this 

 being the first time the target has been used on this range. After the 

 defeat which the Rod and Gun Rifle Club received at the hands of 

 the Minneapolis, Minn., team, they are takiug more interest in rifle 

 shooting, and the older members are showing; up at practice, we think 

 we have a strong team when our club is in full practice. The scores 

 were:

Before the match started, a record match was shot by members 

 present who were not on the team. The highest score was made by 

 T. T. Cartwright, a second etass marksman, who has never made one 

 hundred points in ten consecutive shots. The scores were:

After the telegraphic match was finished, two reentry sweepHnkes 

 were started, one on the Massachusetts decimal and the other on the 

 regular Massachusetts target. The first was won byT. T. Cartwright, 

 his allowance of one point a shot for second class marksmen being 

 just a little too much for the first class marksmen. There were over 

 twenty entries, and some of the best, scores were:

 Capt. W. Milton Farrow, who shot the new Farrow rifle, .33- cal., using 

 45 grains powder and 185 grains lead; hut for the Captain's good 

 work, Cartwright would also have run away with this sweep:

PITTSBURGH, Pa.— The Pittsburgh Rifle Club had a shoot at High 

 Bridge Range on April 2, and a team of our six best men tired two 

 scores against the Minneapolis, Min., aud Springfield, Mass., Rifle 

 Clubs. Regulation rifles, over three pounds trigger pull, Massachu- 

 setts decimal target, 200yds. off-hand, were the points of agreement. 

 The day here was warm and pleasant, quite hazy (smoky) and stinuy 

 at first, then cloudy and with more smoke. There was a moderate 3 

 o'clock wind blowing, which required a few turns on the wind gauges. 

 The day was as good a one as we ever get here for shooting, and the 

 team took position at 1 P. M., and finished about 2:30. Four men 

 snot with tne steadiness of veterans; two were decidedly rattled by 

 their anxiety to do well. The scores stood:
