FOREST AND STREAM. 



[AtKix 30, 1885. 



present date of writing, the avenue has been left innocent of 

 water, except such as came to it from cloudland, but a 

 wonderful start has been made this year and a most tempting 

 programmes is hung out by the Driving Club for an early 

 matinee in benefit of a sprinkling fund. Three big races will 

 be given and will certainly occupy more than half a day, Col. 

 Lew Clarke, the secretary, having already received promises 

 of more than twenty-five entries for the 2:40 class alone. For 

 an entertainment of this quality the ridiculously low admission 

 fee of twenty-five cents is charged. The mere tact that so 

 much fun can be had for so little money tends to keep down 

 patronage of any amusement in such a hand-to-mouth city as 

 St. Louis, and the kick at a half dollar entrance to the bench 

 show has been very decided. The rate was reduced by half 

 on the last day of the show and the receipts quite justified the 

 policy of the change. 



As an exhibition of quality the St. Louis show of this sea- 

 son may be pointed to as the best seen in the West, and if it is 

 possible to redeem paucity of numbers by individual excel- 

 lence, St. Louis lias come out ahead. She has produced at 

 least one dog this year which, should li9 live, can not but be 

 the sensation of the pointer world. The dog in question is 

 Robert le Diable. He is grandly bred, being by Croxteth and 

 out of Spinaway, The dog is white and liver ticked, with 

 not an over-abundance of marking about him. His head 

 is remarkably good, though his forehead might perhaps 

 have been a 'shade broader with advantage; his legs, lcin, 

 feet, barrel shoulders and stern are all perfect. He has 

 plenty of power without any suspicion of coarseness 

 about him, carries not an ounce of lumber and is all quality 

 froui nose to stern. He took the special, a hunting suit, for 

 the. best pointer in the show, as well as the blue ribbon in the 

 pointer class. 



There were but two pointers shown in the champion class. 

 These were Bravo, owned by Mr. G. N. Appold, of Baltimore, 

 and old Faust. The latter was in very poor order, and 

 covered with sores, but Bravo even under these circumstances 

 ought scarcely to have beaten him. Mr. Appold took the 

 champion pointer bitch premiuni with Daisy Bravo, a neat 

 enough bitch and a, great improvement on her sire in the 

 matter of looks. There were, however, among the talent, many 

 dissen tents from the award, and Lady Croxteth had perhaps 

 the public verdict. The heavy pointers were a very moder- 

 ate lot, but the 50 pound pointer bitch class produced a really 

 good one in Belle Faust. She was in wretched order, yet 

 despite that drawback she won very readily, although she had 

 a smart one to beat in Lulu Faust; she will be very hard to 

 beat when got into show order. Neither of the pointer dogs 

 under 55 pounds nor the bitches under 50 call for remark, and 

 no first was awarded to either. A very likely dog, Beau Faust, 

 won in the pointer puppy class. The Beau' will grow into a 

 high class animal and docs as much credit to old Faust as any- 

 thing that has been seen out yet. 



As Dick Laverack was not competing, Paul Gladstone had a 

 walk-over for the champion setter dogs, and Bessie A. then 

 ran a similar bye for the bitch championship. A good lot of 

 setter dogs contested the next class, and the premiums were 

 awarded to Gladstone's Boy, Count Glickstone and Roderigo, 

 in that order. Tn the opinion of many others besides the 

 writer. Major Taylor steered a little wide in this judgment. 

 The Boy has not the quality of Count Glickstone, and has a 

 stern on him that resembles a sickle. Count Glickstone, 

 who was in about the best condition of any dog at the 

 show, ran light away from the winner in the matter of 

 quality, and though lie falls oil' a bit behind, is a remark- 

 ably nice clog. Boderigo was in very poor order or he 

 inignt have appeared the best in his class. Juno A., a nice 

 bitch, took first in the setter bitch competition and subse- 

 quently- downed Gladstone's Boy in a special for the best setter 

 iu the show. Medora. the second in the regular class, is also a 

 very good style of animal. The puppies that scored in the 

 next competition were a fair class. 



The Gordon setter classes were small, but the quality ex- 

 hibited was singularly, good. Mr. Chas. R. Taylor took the 

 dog prize with Gem, a very fine three-year old, which, how- 

 ever, looks over-worn for that age, and the bitch blue ribbon 

 with Rhoda. a remarkably nice one. There was present on 

 exhibition a bitch (Grouse) which, if the judging were by the 

 Malcolm standard, would score against anything in the coun- 

 try. Her four puppies, by Othello, took a blue and red rib- 

 bon — a vhc. and an he. 



The red Irish setter Brush is a powerful though clumsy dog, 

 is richlr colored, splendidly coated, and shows a feather eleven 

 inches long. The waning popularity of this beautifid breed 

 of setters is quite inexplicable. It is but a few years since it 

 was quite at the top of the tree of favor, but at present sports- 

 men working for field excellence or for winners in field trials 

 scarcely travel outside the English setter or the pointer. The 

 facts would seem to be that breeders of red Irish setters have 

 of late themselves so fallen in love with the good looks of 

 these dogs that they have been breeding for beauty alone, and 

 the only chance of restoring the Irishuian again to general 

 favor will be by a very careful resort to the strains showing 

 the best field qualities. No dog living possesses more, intelli- 

 gence than does the Irish setter, and its lithe, panther-like 

 g-aJlop is not only the poetry of field motion, but also makes 

 the dog about the fastest worker known to any of us. Breed- 

 ers of this variety should move heaven and earth to tiy and 

 catch the awards of judges of field trials. Let but one Irish- 

 man get there, and ''the king will have his ain again." Mr. 

 Sprague also showed a very sweet bitch indeed in Megora, an 

 own sister to Brush. 



The mastiff exhibit of Mr. W. P. Stevenson was one of the 

 great attractions of the show. Nothing like it has ever been 

 seen in ttie West. The kennel is so well known everywhere 

 and so thoroughly understood in New York that to give it a 

 lengthy description in Forest and Stkeam would be like car- 

 rying coals to Newcastle, it is enough to say that St. Louis 

 people thought it perfect. If the sowing of grape seed can re- 

 ward an owner, Mr. Stevenson should be satisfied, as his 

 exhibit was intensely studied and admired from the opening 

 till the close of each day. It must in justice to the West be 

 said, however, that champion Homer was the one of all others 

 best appreciated. His head possesses that absolute perfection 

 scarcely hoped for outside of a Landseer canvas, and the 

 splendid wrinkled forehead, stop, jet black mask and well 

 dropped loose lips were quite revelations to many visitors who 

 had thought that the pictures they had seen of mastiffs were 

 simply visious of the unattainable. Mr. Stevenson took every 

 ribbon that was offered for the breed. Homer can bear the 

 additional feather in his cap that he is the first American bred 

 mastiff which dares hang out a flag of defiance to anything 

 born on the other side. 



There was quite a large exhibit of St. Bernards. Tell took 

 the first prize for the rough-coated dogs. Tell is one of a 

 family of prize winners on both sides of the water. If he 

 could onlv be always looked at from the front when lying 

 down or squatted oh his haunches he would be perfect, but as 

 he really is, as a whole dog, it is doubtful whether he ought 

 not to be ruled out of count wherever he appears. His hind 

 legs are exactly like those of an elephant, not a sign of hock 

 being apparent when he is at rest. When the leg is flexed it 

 can be seen that Tell does possess what has seemed to be a 

 missing joint, and it then appears that the trouble is in his 

 stifle, a joint in which a singular number of St. Bernards fail. 

 Rector II. scored a very meritorious victory in the smooth- 

 coated class, but the pearl of the exhibit was tobefoundinthe 

 pleyen-mijiiths-old puppy Switzer, This dog was brought 

 direct to St. Louis from Switzerland a few weeks ago, and 

 gave so much satisfaction that a mate for hitn has been sent 

 for. If Switzer fulfills his present promise he will be the 

 grandest dog of his breed in America. 



Mr. S. S. McCtien's New Orleans Newfoundland Miro was 

 way above his competitors, although his coat is of an almost 



suspicious silkmess. The Irish water spaniel exhibit was one 

 of the features of the show. King Slash is a well shaped do-- 

 all round and possesses a good coat. Erin is also a remarkably 

 fine specimen, with somewhat more substance than the King 

 weighing seventy pounds. 



The battle of the cocker standard was to a certain extent 

 compromised at this show, two classifications being allowed, 

 the one of 28 and the other of un der 23 pounds. The American 

 cocker man is so dead in love with all blacks or livers that he 

 looks askant at mixtures; but Dr. E. C. Franiriims liver and 

 white Lady Mac might convert the most bigoted. There was 

 no better animal iu the show than tiiis, and one look at her led 

 the cocker man of England to, in his mind's eye. once more 

 see the little beauties feathering through gorse after puss or 

 bunny, or crashing from under a holly tree through a bit of 

 brake on flushing the first woodcock of the season. 



The Chesapeakes were most moderate in quality, Grey- 

 hounds were a marked advance on last vear, and the brace 

 of deerhounds, Dick and Maida, would' have scored at Bir- 

 mingham or the Crystal Palace. Though the foxhounds were 

 moderate, the beagles were excellent, especially those owned 

 by Mr. Wilson Hunt. Mr. J. A. Long of St. Louis has, for a 

 long time past, imported collies so liberally that it was no 

 surprise when his exhibit showed up as well as anything on 

 the benches. His champion, Rob Roy, is the peer of any 

 collie living, and his imported bitches are all cake-takers. 

 There is no doubt that t as far as actual service to man is con- 

 cerned, the collie exhibit was the most useful of the showj 

 and the sheep meu of the West and South will ho doubt bene- 

 fit enormously by Mr. Long's enterprise. 



The fox-terriers were a remarkably good lot, but were 

 almost singular among the terriers in this regard. D. W. Mc- 

 Millan of St. Louis showed a very sweet Yorkshire, which 

 might take a blue ribbon in most places if in coat or show 

 condition, which Jack certainly was not on this occasion. 

 Mrs. George Hill, of Madeira, Ohio, was again to the front 

 with her champion pug Joe, and Miss Fanny Baker of St. 

 Louis scored again with the pug Lady Dufferin, one that 

 might be heard of elsewhere were she shown. There were 

 but very few toys, and the nine Italian grevhounds (a bit too 

 much inbred) were all owned by one individual. 



But one Great Dane appeared, and by far the best of the 

 miscellaneous classes were the English retriever Nuit and her 

 sons and daughtess. Nuit is of imported stock, very hand- 

 some, and this strain is fast growing into favor in the West. 

 The judging was performed most impartially by Major Tay- 

 lor of Louisville for the sporting classes, and Messrs. Whit- 

 man and Naylor of Chicago. All of the arrangements of the 

 show were perfect.

NEW YORK DOG SHOW. 



CiHABMING weather and a very good early morning 

 ' attendance ushered in the ninth annual New York Bench 

 Show, on Tuesday, April 28, at Madison Square Garden, this 

 city. Like all its predecessors it is being held under the 

 auspices of the Westminster Kennel Club. These shows have 

 been so often described that it is almost superfluous to remark 

 that they are the most notable events of the New York dog 

 world, and are the means of collecting together not only a 

 large number of sportsmen, but also a select, fashionable, 

 assemblage. 



The arrangements, as heretofore, are excellent. The Garden 

 is encircled as usual with low benches and pens on which the 

 larger non-sporting classes are displayed. Four long rows of 

 pens and wire cages, the latter for the toy dogs, run the entire 

 length of the Garden, two rows being on each side of the large 

 railed inclosure in which the judging of the various classes 

 was conducted simultaneously. The inclosure, which also 

 extends almost the entire length of the Garden, is divided into 

 five compartments, four of them being separated by a single 

 rail, and the one at the Fourth avenue end by a picketed fence. 

 In this the small dogs are judged. The sanitary condition of 

 the Garden is well looked after by a number of uniformed 

 attendants. Dr. John H, Dancer, of Orange, N. J., is the 

 veterinary surgeon in charge, and says the condition of the 

 dogs is excellent. 



The judging began promptly at the hour announced, 10 

 o'clock, and has continued between the hour's of 1 A. M. and 

 5 P. M. up to the time we go to press. Considering tiie large 

 entry, there were not an unusual number of absentees. 



All of the judges were present. Mr. Hugh Dalziel, of Lon- 

 don, Eng,, judges mastiffs, St. Bernards, Newfoundlands, 

 greyhounds, deerhounds, English retrievers, spaniels (all 

 classes), Basset hounds, dachshuude, bulldogs, bull-terriers 

 (and all terriers except fox-terriers), pugs, Italian greyhounds 

 and miscellaneous classes. Mr. J. M, Tracy, of Greenwich, 

 Conn., pointers and Irish setters; Mr. John C. Higgxna, of Del- 

 aware City, Del., English setters; Mr. H. Clay Glover, of New 

 York city^ black and tan setters; Mr. Isaac Townsend, of New 

 York city, Chesapeake Bay dogs; Mr. A. Belmont Purdy, of 

 Hempstead, L. I., foxhounds; Dr. J. W. Downey, of Newmar- 

 ket, Md., collies and beagles; Mr. Lewis M. Ruth erfurd, of 

 New York city, fox-terriers; Mr. John G. Heckscher, of New 

 York city, poodles. 



There was one great improvement of the arrangements 

 over previous shows, and that was that the judging was not 

 spun out, but was pushed vigorously from the start. Another 

 improvement could be made, and that is that the judges 

 should be provided with judges' books such as are used in 

 England, which are vastly superior to the little books now in 

 use. The English book resembles the style of an ordinary 

 check book. The judge duplicating his award list on the 

 stump, and retains the book in his possession until the end of 

 the judging. This method is an absolute check on the slips 

 torn off, which are handled by attendants. 



On the afternoon of Tuesday it rained, and on Wednesday 

 the weather proved to be cold and stormy in the forenoon, 

 but cleared in the afternoon. 



A protest has been lodged against the St. Bernard dog 

 St. Elmo, entered by Dan Foster, on account of wrong 

 description. As the protest, which is given below, sets 

 forth, this dog has had a very strange career, and his age has 

 been as fickle as the present spring weather. 

 To the Managers of the Westminster Kennel Club Show; 



I beg to enter a protest against the St. Bernard dog St. Elmo, cata- 

 logue No. 0.5 , as not being entered in accordance with rules Nos. 2 and 

 3. which are as follows; 



"2. All dogs entered for competition or exhibition only shall be 

 entered in the name of boda .tide owner. Snch entries must be 

 identified by name of dog. its age, and, if Known, the names of its 

 sire and dam; if the name of a dog which bas won a first prize has 

 been changed, its name at the time of winning any and every such 

 prize, and the place thereof, as well as its present name, must be 

 giver. If the names of its sire and dam are not known, it may he 

 entered 'pedigree unknown.' 



"3. If a dog be entered without being identified, as directed in Rule 

 2, it shall be disqualified from competition." 



This dog was shown at Boston as Snip in May, 183% aud 

 entered as 1 vear and 9 months old. His pedigree was given 



as out of Fanny. His present owner then bought him and 



entered him as follows: Washington. February, 1883, by 

 champion Turco— Lady Snowdrift. The dog was there iden- 

 tified by Dr. Sawfcelle of Boston. At New York the same 

 year he"was entered (75) St. Elmo, formerly Snip, 21 months, 

 by Bruno— Fan. At New York, 1884, he was entered (73) 4 

 years, "full pedigree." At New Haven this year he was en- 

 tered as 3 years, by champion Turco— Fanny Snowdrift, and 

 he is now entered as i years 2 months, '"full pedigree."
