good legs and feet, but is too long in the couplings. Lou is 

 coarse and leggy. Little Beauty, too long in the couplings. 

 Marjory showed mange, is leggy and wants character. My is 

 n»t a beagle. Tn the class under 12 inches, Blue Boy and Blue 

 Maid, brother and sister, led off the catalogue. They are the 

 tallest 13-inch beagles we ever looked at, and they are not 

 extra good-looking. Their head's are coarse and wedgy, and 

 lack the neatness and finish of such a head as Little Duke. 

 The best point about them is their good legs and teet. Ban- 

 nerroan's domed skull and toy-terrier muzzle is his great fault. 

 Behind the head he is a model miniature hound, without that 

 slackness of loin so marked a characteristic of American 

 beagles. Mamie Ringwood was put down as a five-year-old— 

 a dog dealer's five years— for she looks as old as the hills. 

 Marchboy It is simply a toy, but Magnet would probably 

 have been in the money but for arriving too late for the judg- 

 ing. The puppies were well treated by Dr. Downey, but we 

 could see nothing in the class to arrest attention. 



D ACHSHUNDE— (MR. DALZIEL) . 



This breed is improviug, but there was nothing first-class. 

 Fox-terrier heads, short ears, tight skins and light limbs were 

 too conspicuous, and it is to be hoped breeders will set about 

 to get rid of such defects. 



FOX-TERRIERS— (MR. L. M. R1TTHERFURD, JR.h 



Raby Tyrant and Richmond Olive led off Mr. Rutherfurd's 

 classes, and earned bloodless victories for their respective 

 championships. In tho open class, our notebook says, Sir 

 George is coarse and overgrown. Mr. Tinker deserved a card; 

 he wants more length of head ; but he is a terrier. One Dollar 

 and a Quarter— Ins name is the best criticism we can give of 

 him. perhaps one dollar would be nearer the mark. Grover 

 was put down as he, and had such a card over his bench. 

 Why, it was impossible to see, for he is a leggy weed with a 

 snipy muzzle; no terrier about the dog at all. Scarsdale 

 every one knows all about, and placed next to Spice his cheek- 

 iness was more noticeable than ever. Spice, entered as four 

 years old, is over six years of age and his mouth shows it. 

 If his tail had not been docked, it would have crooked over on 

 his back. Coat soft, and when he stands at attention he gets 

 up in the air so as to look leggy and straight in the shoulders. 

 He is just off the ship, and looked a little light all over. He 

 won without difficulty. His legs and feet are still perfect. 

 He is a capital terrier, but we are somewhat disappointed 

 in him. Jocko is weak in front of the eye and out at el- 

 bows, but is a nice cobby little dog. Vakeel has not improved 

 at all since last year. "Sancho is coarse and houndy. Rich- 

 mond Johnnie is heavy-eared and too strong in bead. The bitch 

 class contained Richmond Delta, for whom Mr. George Raper 

 gave over 8-500 at auction a few months ago. We thought 

 Mr. Raper a better judge of a terrier. She is far too fine in 

 muzzle, her legs are like pipestems and her mouth is all gone. 

 The absence of the teeth from one jawin front would indicate 

 that her mouth might not have been level. At any rate, if 

 Mr. Rutherf urd had looked at her mouth he could not have 

 placed her first in this class. This is another of the animals 

 with a great English reputation which is not deserved. Gurrey 

 Gypsev "is very wide hi front. Her best point is her nice, 

 small ears. She is a well bred one, too. Izzie is a liver, tan 

 and white nondescript. The wire-haired terriers were badly 

 handled. Tyke was shown a mass of woolly hair, as were all 

 of Mr. Grainger's. Trophy is the proper sort, a smart terrier of 

 the right size. He was out of coat, but what was left of the 

 old one showed it to be of the proper length and harshness. 

 Tip was the second best in the class. Whitethorn is faulty in 

 muzzle and had no coat. Venom is only a wreck, is small and 

 pinched in muzzle, soft coat, undershot, and her mouth all 

 gone. Poiler is coarse, heavy in ears and woolly. The dog 

 puppies were again led by Scarsdale Joe. Di won in the bitch 

 class. She is rather strong in muzzle for a bitch, but has good 

 ears, legs and feet. Mr. Rutherf urd made an unpardonable 

 blunder in awarding the special for best dog and bitch to 

 Spice and Richmond Delta over Raby Tyrant and Richmond 

 Olive. Mr. Kellv requested him to' judge by points, and he 

 gave Spice 95 and Delta 55, total 150: Raby Tyrant 55 and 

 Olive 80, total 145. Takiug Spice as equal to 95 points, which 

 is preposterous to begin with, both Olive and Tyrant are 

 rated far too low. In point judging Olive is pretty well 

 bound to beat Spice, and the difference of thirty points be- 

 tween Spice and Tyrant, who were judged together, is simply 

 ridiculous. 



COLLIES— (DR. J. W. DOWNEY). 



Mr. Terry entered his kennel of collies "not for competi- 

 tion;" there were therefore no champions, Mr. Terry having 

 so far the only eligible competitors, Ben Nevis once more 

 came out at the top of the tree in the open dog class. He was 

 shown in marvellous condition and deserved his success. The 

 heavy-eared Bruce of the Fylde, who since his first appear- 

 ance on the bench has grown coarse, was given second, and 

 his kennel companion, Kilmarnock Bruce, third prize. This 

 was wrong. Kilmarnock Bruce is better in head, though he 

 is far from perfect in that respect; has more freedom, and his 

 mane, frill and coat were far better than on Bruce of the 

 Fylde. The third best in the class was Bounce, a light sable, 

 shown in splendid coat. His skull is not flat enough, and his 

 head loses in length. He was the best-eared dog in the class. 

 Robin Hood is weedy and has no bone. Marquis is curly. 

 Sambo is almost a pure Gordon setter. Jake, vhc. , is the open- 

 coated setter-collie Dr. Downey gave first to in 1883. The dog 

 woidd be well off with a commended card. A great mistake 

 was made in passing over Carlo ; he is the proper stamp of dog 

 we want, and but for being a little out of coat should have 

 ranked high. Foxey (late Damley), with a commended card, 

 was another great mistake. Unfortunately for the judge, 

 Foxey and Jake were benched close together, and it was only 

 too evident their cards should have been transposed. Foxey is 

 a collie and Jake is not. Laddie's mention was still another 

 mistake. His coat is curly and there is no collie look 

 about him. No card for such a dog as that. Guido 

 Rene has heavy ears, a plain face, and was placed 

 too high. Argyle has the same faults as Guido Rene. Brack 

 is showing age and was out of shape. Hiram is well known. 

 Talisman is aging very fast, and was quite out of condition. 

 The bitch class was well filled. Winnie, so often described, 

 got first, but that place we considered belonged to Lady of the 

 Lake, a splendid Eclipse bitch, and winner of first in the puppy 

 class at the Non-sporting show. Her ladyship's sister, Lassie, 

 was shown as fat as a prize hog, but even then her quality 

 made her worth her vhc. Daisy, the Boston puppy winner, 

 was properly placed next to Winnie. Lark is'too small and 

 toyish, but she is a nice-looking bitch. Fairy, as every one 

 knows by this time, is heavy-eared. She was well shown. 

 Lilac is short and thick in head, and lacks character. Lady 

 Hempstead is about the best Robin Adan bitch we have seen, 

 and •would have done with a higher card, and Mr. Gray's Erne 

 Dean we liked, notwithstanding her short head and her not 

 being in good coat. The Kilmarnock Kennel entered no end 

 of puppies, but as a general thing they were not well reared. 

 Madge, for instance, was simply a bag of bones. Craft owed 

 his place to his good coat, as Strephon, the second in the dog- 

 class, will make a clinker if he ever gets in good coat. At 

 present he is shedding and looked light and weedy. Joe Net- 

 tles was this time he, and he was not well treated. Dr. 

 Downey, by leaving out Joker, corrected about the only mis- 

 ' take Mr. Apgar made at Boston. In the bitch class, Ctytie 

 might well have been left out altogether and Belle given sec- 

 ond place, and the promising Adelfa should have been noticed, 



BULLDOGS— (MR. DALZIEL). 



With the exception of Britomartis the winners are well 

 known. The newcomer resembles her litter brother Robinson 

 Crusoe very much, but she is a decided improvement on him. 

 Her red fawn coat is relieved by a few brindle stripes, which. 



are a great improvement. Her head is a study, both for size 

 of skull and shortness of face. Her faults are that she stands 

 on her legs in place of between them and she wants more 

 length to her back, -wfai ch is well roached. 



BULL-TERRIERS— (MR. DALZTEL), 



Another walk-over tor Grand Duko in the champion dog 

 class, and Victoria scored in a similar manner in bitches. 

 Dutch Jr., who has been described before, was placed first in 

 dogs, and Saxon should have been second. Jack is cheeky 

 and faulty in forelegs and feet and was very soft. Young Bill 

 is getting" worse and worse, and now wid probably be retired. 

 Rosa, first in bitches, was in no condition, is long in the back 

 and her feet turn out. Young Venom, notwithstanding her 

 white eye and weak muzzle, is much the better bitch. She 

 has splendid legs and feet, a good body and was shown as 

 hard as nails. Little Maggie had no opposition in the small- 

 size champion class. In the open class for both sexes Gypsy, 

 though approaching rather too much to the terrier type, was 

 infinitely superior to Nell, while Crown Prince would have 

 been well off with commended. The Earl stood out in bold 

 relief in the puppy class. 



IRISH TERRIERS— (MR. DALZIEL). 

 There were four entries. Sheila, weak in jaw. won with- 

 out difficulty from Nailer, who is bitch faced and was out of 

 coat. 



TERRIERS, OTHER THAN FOX— (MR. DALZIEL). 



In the black and tan class Queen, weak in face and lacking 

 in substance, won. She was in splendid condition and is a 

 smart bitch, good in coat, color and markings. Bessie, placed 

 second, is a better terrier, but was not nearly so well shown 

 as Queen, and it was perhaps on this account that the judge 

 put her back. Victor, he, is strong in head and his markings 

 are not distinct. Cuss, he, is plain in head and heavy m 

 shoulders but good in color. Spring, e, is round in skull. 

 The rough-haired terriers were, as usual, a medley lot. Half- 

 bred Irishmen were to the front. In the Dan die class Badger, 

 II., soft in coat, was first. His mouth ha3 gone. Pansy, 

 faulty in head, coat and eyes, came next, with Bonnie 

 Briton, out of coat, vhc. Among theBedlingtons (dogs) 

 we marked Blucher down for premier honors, and Sir 

 George, faulty in head and coat, for second. Beresford, 

 vhc, is faultv in head, and so is Elswick Lad who was 

 he in the bitch class Lillie was the best and won. Souter 

 Johnnie took the valuable medal offered for champion Skyes. 

 He would do with more coat. In the open dog class Duke, a 

 fair good dog, scored an easy win. He, too, would be better 

 with more coat. Watty is a bit woolly, but was well placed 

 second. Phoenix, in the bitch class, is a fair good specimen, 

 much better in head, ears and coat than Mopsey, placed 

 second. Mr. Dalziel handled these classes well. 



PUGS— (MR. DALZIEL). 



The awards in these classes caused some dissatisfaction. 

 There were uo entries in the champion classes, and in the open 

 dog class the judge made an unaccountable blunder in giving 

 first, to Punch (Parker's). His ears are badly placed and badly 

 carried, forelegs crooked, and he has no trace. Victor was in 

 his right place— second. His tail is not close enough in curl, 

 and his legs are not good. He carries one ear badly, and his 

 trace mark is not distinct. Tootsey-Wootsey, with an equal 

 second, got more than he deserved. He isfaulty at both ends. 

 The third prize, Punch, is a better dog. In eyes and wrinkles 

 he will do. His ears are heavy, trace mark not well defined, 

 toes not black, and tad not close enough in curl. Toby, a bit 

 apple-headed, was worth another letter. Young Othello, he, 

 has a good head, but he is smutty in color and heavy in ears. 

 His condition was first-rate, but that will never pull him 

 through in good company. Rowdy, vhc, is smutty, small of 

 eye and plain in head. Away ahead of everything in the class 

 was Bradford Ruby, vhc. He is the best specimen we have 

 seen in this country, and we hope Mr. Dalziel will reverse the 

 decision before he leaves us. In the bitch class Beauty, placed 

 first, is much too large; her ears are heavy and badly carried, 

 eyes light in color, and tail very faulty. Flossy, placed sec- 

 ond, was the best of the lot. The class was not a good one. 

 The puppies were a wretched lot. James G. Blaine, faulty in 

 ears, eyes, muzzle and color, was the best, and won. Dolly, 

 commended, is very poor in head and ears. Jim Crow is 

 apple-headed and faulty ia eyes end markings. 



YORKSHIRES— (MR. DALZIEL). 



There were no champions, and among the twenty entries in 

 the over 51bs. open class, we failed to find a good specimen. 

 Prince, fight in color and minus tan markings, was about the 

 best of the lot and took first, but he was closely pressed for 

 the place by Ben, who was he He was the best formed and 

 best colored dog in the class, but his coat is not so profuse as 

 the winner's. Flora lacks in color, and so does Bobbie. Lan- 

 cashire Star is short of coat and light in tan. Lass, he, got 

 more than she deserved. She is of poor color, long cast and 

 faulty in head. Rosie C. is light in color and short in coat. 

 Mr. D., who took second, is fight in color and lacking in coat. 

 All of the winners in the light weight class are deficient in 

 color. They were better judged than the heavy weights. 



TOY TERRIERS OTHER THAN YORKSHIRES— (MR. DALZIEL). 



This was a poor class, and Tiny, the first prize winner, was 

 about the best of the lot. She is faulty in head, and her face 

 markings are not well defined. Fannie is faulty in tail and 

 her color is too light. Busy was lucky in getting* a card, 



TOY SPANIELS— (MR. DALZIEL). 



There was not a good one in the lot. In the King Charles 

 class Duke, who took first, stands badly on his hind feet and 

 is not very good in eyes and ears. Charlie, placed second, is 

 long-faced and curly. Countess is faulty in skull and muzzle. 

 All of the Blenheims are faulty in head, eyes and ears. The 

 first prize Japanese spaniel is faidty in ears and is too large, 



ITALIAN GREYHOUNDS — (MR. DALZIEL). 



Only four were shown, and Fanny, faulty in color, had no 

 difficulty in taking the blue ribbon to Englewood. Babe, 

 placed second, is prick-eared and is too large. Romeo is as 

 big as a rabbit-coursing dog. 



POODLES— (MR. HECKSCHER). 



These dogs are improving, but most of them are still too 

 open in curl and long in coat. Rajah II. was not looking his 

 best, and Romeo and Cognac are both too woolly. 



MISCELLANEOUS— (MR. DALZIEL'. 



A medley lot, as usual, but much better than we generally 

 find. The "heavy-weight class was divided for bloodhounds 

 and boarhounds; the latter lack the tiger appearance in head 

 that we like to see. All of the bloodhounds are well-bred 

 specimens, but they fall below the standard in head. In the 

 light-weight class Mexicans were in demand. Me-Too, the 

 best of the lot, was placed at the head of affairs, 



THE SPECIAL PRIZES. 



The judging of class EE, for the best pointer or setter, was 

 a complete farce, and although there were but four dogs in 

 the race it took the judges exactly four hours to arrive at a 

 decision, and as might have been expected, they gave the prize 

 to the worst dog instead of the best. Stonehehge was strongly 

 in demand, and the tape was frequently unrolled and stretched 

 to test the proportion of the competitors. We are informed 

 the pointer won by two points. Either Rockingham, Plan- 

 taganet or Elcho, Jr., is many points ahead of the pointer, 

 and the score, which showed a different result, should 

 be printed. The prize for the best Irish setter went to Elcho, 

 Jr., we thought him uncomfortably pressed by Blarney, 

 Phil won the special for the best black and tan setter. We 

 thought Argus and Ladv Gordon many points ahead of him. 

 We liked Don IL the best for the smooth St. Bernard prize, 

 and Rosalind and Lady Gladys for the mastiff prize. Spice 



scored fifteen points more than Richmond Olive, how or why, 

 we cannot say. Bradford Ruby was the best pug in the. show. 

 The light weight pointer prize went to Rue. Modesty is a 

 better bitch.

 last week:

BROCK— DIANA II.— New York, May 5.— Editor Forest 

 and, Stream: I cannot nnder the circumstances accept Mr. 

 Chas. Heath's challenge to t un my Irish setter Brock against 

 his Diana II. a six days' race ; were I to do so I would be plac- 

 ing my dog at a great disadvantage. It is known to the 

 members of the Eastern Field Trials Club and to many other 

 sportsmen that Mr. Heath had his Diana II, in North Carolina 

 and Virginia, handled by a professional trainer, during the 

 whole of the past shooting season, which in those two States 

 is from Oct. 1 to March 1, and doubtless now has secured the 

 ser vices of the same trainer to handle his dog in case the race 

 takes plac>», whereas my dog Brock was shot over only five 

 weeks during the fall of lSS2,four weeks during the fall of 1883-4 

 respectively,' and during the interim alio wed to run at large, 

 and has not been in the hands of a competent trainer for 

 nearly three years. Besides, were I to accept his challenge, 

 I am' not sure that I could secure the services of John N. 

 Lewis, who broke him, to prepare and handle him in the 

 proposed match. For these reasons I have to decline. Noth- 

 ing could afford me more pleasure than to make a friendly 

 match with Mr. Heath, to run my dog Brock against his 

 Diana II. , under the published rules of the Eastern Field 

 Trials Club, a two or three days' race for a club dinner for the 

 Field Trials Club members present at the trials which take 



Elace in November next at High Point, N. C, owners to 

 andle.— Geo. T. Leach. 



PROTEST OF ST. ELMO.— The following is a copy of the 

 reply to the St. Elmo protest: Dear Sir— Your protest re St. 

 Elmo received, We do not understand that it touches the 

 question of ownership or owner, therefore that so far it was 

 properly entered. We received a challenge before its entry 

 and investigated the question of age, and are convinced that 

 four years and two months is correct. You do not state that 

 as Snip the dog won a first, the failure to give that name is 

 therefore not within the rule. The entry was made "full 

 pedigree" under the following circumstances: When Mr. Fos- 

 ter called to make his entry, we questioned him as to the 

 numerous statements as to sire and dam, and were satisfied 

 with his explanation, which was briefly that an employe had 

 blundered. We asked him to put the correct pedigree in his 

 entry, but he stated that he did uot have "the papers" with 

 him. On his assurance that he could aud would produce his 

 proof on demand, we permitted him to enter "full pedigree." 

 —Yours, Elliot Smith, Manager (April 39, 1885). 



THE BLACK AND TAN SETTER CLUB.— There was a 

 meeting of gentlemen interested in the breeding of black and

 President, Jean Grosvenor, Boston, Mass.; Secretary and 

 Treasurer, Chas. S. Fitch, New York. The meeting then 

 adjourned to meet on May 20 at 8 P. M., at the Industrial Art 

 Hall, PhUadelphia. 



THE FOX-TERRIER CLUB.— The first annual meeting of 

 the Fox-Terrier Club was held at Madison Square Garden on

 William Rutherford, New York; Vice-President, J. E.Thayer, 

 Boston, Mass. ; Secretary and Treasurer, Edward Kelly, New 

 York. Board of Governors— J. E. I. Grainger, John G. Heck-
