THE TORONTO DOG SHOW. 



[From a Spetial Correspondent.] 



THE show here has been the best in quality ever given in 

 the Dominion, and the affair has passed off with much 

 credit. Owing to the distressing news from the Northwest 

 the city has been in poor humor for supporting very heartily 

 any form of public entertainment, and for that reason the 

 attendance has not been nearly so good as the merits of the 

 show called for, and the managers are probably something 

 out of pocket. Great credit should be given to the secretary, 

 Mr. W. S Jacksou, who by his courteous and efficient efforts 

 won golden opinions from all with whom he had to deal. 

 One of the ''unaccountable misses" of the show was the 

 blunder of somebody by which Mr. John E. Thayer's dogs, 

 which were here, had not been properly entered. It is under- 

 stood that the entry blanks -were sent by Mr. Thayer, but 

 were not received. The dogs were benched and, awarded 

 prizes, and the managers waited until the last day for the 

 necessary entries to turn up. But they failed to come, and 

 accordingly all of Mr. Thayer's dogs were disqualified, and 

 the other winners in their classes advanced in their places. 



A meeting of gentlemen was field Friday evening to 

 consider the formation of a Canadian Kennel Club to t*tke the 

 place recently filled by the Dominion of Canada Kennel Club. 

 A committee was appointed to issue circulars to be sent to 

 owners and admirers of dogs throughout the Dominion, 

 requesting them to guarantee an annual subscription of not 

 more than $5. The committee consists of Messrs. J. F, Kirk, 

 W. S. Jackson, J. Masse y, Baldwin, Malloch and Scully, of 

 Toronto; Messrs. Tinsley, Hamilton and Kelly, of Woodstock. 



ENGLISH SETTERS— (MR. DAVIDSON). 



Cambridge, Paris and Rockingham were the three exhibits 

 in the challenge class, and Mr. Davidson was not long in 

 selecting Rockingham for the blue ribbon. This dog looks 

 better every time he is shown, and if his owner would give 

 him more work he would look even better still. We have 

 already pointed out his many good points and his few defects. 

 Cambridge disappointed us much, and the puffing he has had 

 from certain quarters was never merited. He is found want- 

 ing in merit at both ends, and although his breeding is good, 

 he is not the sort of dog that is likely to sire good-looking 

 stock. Paris, shown in wretched condition, is a much better 

 looking dog than his kennel companion. He is eleven years 



l setter bitch, Aug. 



old, but looks a younger dog than Cambridge. Our note book 

 says: "Heavy in head, throaty and light in stifles, good legs, 

 feet and bone." This dog should get good stock from weedy 

 bitches. In the corresponding bitch class Messrs. Smith 

 showed one that is much more to our liking, and it was early 

 apparent that she was too much for her two opponents, Liu- 

 detsdale and Blue Belle. She is a grand bitch, stands on cap- 

 ital legs and feet, good bone and back— every inch a s^ tter. 

 Her head is a bit doggy, not fine enough for a bitch, and she 

 was shown a trifle short of coat and feather. Liddersdale is a 

 good bitch, deficient in stop, chest and forelegs. Blue Belle is 

 also a nice bitch, faulty in muzzle and a trifle slack behind 

 the shoulder. First in the open dog class went to Bristol, a 

 dog possessing many good points. He was all out of condi- 

 tion, is a bit heavy in head, throaty and curly on the quarter, 

 and looks light of loin in his present condition. In bone, legs 

 and feet he will do. Second prize went to Prince Phoebus, 

 whose faults are found in head, eyes and forelegs. Paris III. 

 came next and was well shown. "He is heavier than he should 

 be in head, flat in feet, throaty, and does not carry his ears 

 so well as we would like to see them. Dashing Storm, vhc, 

 possesses many good points. His worst faults are in head, 

 ears and neck. Cambridge II. inherits the rather sour face of 

 his sire, and is faulty at the shoulders. He was looking well. 

 Dan Gladstone, vhc, like every other dog, has his faults, 

 and it is in head, ears, tail, shoulders and hindlegs, where he 

 might be improved. Delham, c, is full at the brow and light 

 of middle, and was not in good shape, being much too soft. 

 Among the bitches Genevieve was our choice for first, and so 

 thought the judge. Her coat is her worst fault. It is much 

 too hard, and she lacks a bit in head, bone, feet and shoulders. 

 Countess Dash made a good second. She is a bit faulty at 

 both ends, and not heavy enough in bone; legs and feet good. 

 Lady Princess was close up. She is heavy in head, her ears 

 are not very well hung and the pads of he'r feet are thin; tail 

 well carried, but too long. Among the dog puppies Jupiter 

 outscored his opponents. He is a bit fault v at both ends, but 

 is good in chest, legs and feet. Rosedale, faulty in ears and 

 long in tail, was the runner up, with Sport, strong in head 

 and faulty in eye and loin, next. Diana was very properly 

 placed first in the bitch class. Her faults are in head, eyes, 

 shoulders and tail. Mr. Davidson is the best judge of English 

 setters we have, but we cannot indorse the decision which 

 gave second to Hastey. She is shallow in chest, faulty in 

 loin, and neither her head nor tail is good, whereas her feet 

 are hopeless and her forelegs crooked. Forest Fern, vhc, is 

 a better bitch, but not a good one. She is a bit long cast, 

 weak behind, and is faulty in eyes and neck. Hamilton is 

 plain in head. The awards (with the exception alluded to) 

 were well made, and if English setters were always judged as 

 they were at this show, improvement in the appearance of 

 our dogs would be the happy result. 



IRISH SETTERS— (MR. DAVIDSON). 



Chief, looking well, represented the champions. His color 

 is superb. Comet, placed first in the open dog class, lacks 

 Irish character and has a very poor head. Chief, Jr., that 

 took second, is a much better dog. • His faults are in head and 

 loin. Sam, placed third, has a very sour head and a long tail. 

 He was in good condition. This was a poor class, and the 

 bitches, with the exception of the winner, were no better. 

 The recipient of premier honors is a bit flat in skull, lacks in 

 Stop, ana is too round in barrel. In coat and color she is good. 

 Meg is faulty in head, neck and color. Dan, placed first in 

 the puppy class, is faulty in head and color, and so is the Dan 

 that took second. 



BLACK AND TAN SETTERS— (MR. DAVrDSON). 



Argus scored in the challenge class, but being disqualified, 

 Lottie was advanced to the position vacated by hmi. She is 

 faulty in head and color, but has a nice flat coat and was 

 shown in excellent condition. The winner in the open dog 

 clacs is a fairly good specimen, faulty in head and shoulders. 

 Jason is heavy in ears, a bit throaty and faulty in tail. Sep, 

 third prize, is too much like an Irish water spaniel, both in 

 head and tail. Sandy, vhc, is tucked up and has white feet. 

 The winner in the bitch class is faulty in coat and shoulders, 

 and Fairy Queen, pJaced second, lacks in head and eyes, but 

 has good bone and feet. There was little to choose between 

 them. Only one puppy, and he is not a future winner. We 

 thought these classes very well handled. 



POINTERS— (MR. DAVIDSON). 



Beaufort was alone in the champion or challenge class, and 

 was looking well. Mr. Davidson pronounced him the grand- 

 est large pointer ho has ever seen. Beaufort's brother, Brad- 

 ford—a fan- good dog— came to the front in the open dog 

 class, and Shot made a ci editable second, but he lacks the 

 true pointer character of the winner. Snipe, third prize, is 

 faulty in head, tail and chest. Majesty, vhc. , looks the work- 

 man he undoubtedly is. He is faulty in loin, tail, head and 

 shoulders. Sport, he, is too weedy," and is not very good in 

 head. There were only two bitches and the same number of 

 puppies. We failed to find a good one among them. They 

 were well judged, 



SPANIELS— (DR. NIVEN). 



The Irishmen proved a poor class, and Rocky, faulty in 

 head, ears and tail, was placed at the head of affairs. Why 

 the judge gave a second to Torey, faulty in head, ears, tailand 

 coat, we cannot say, neither do we know why he disqualified 

 Fly for being "faked" and then gave her the he card. A dog 

 that cannot take a first for being "faked," most certainly 

 should not be given a card. The Clumber Judy is n;>t first- 

 class. Bob, Jr., is well-known. Lad o' Devon, in the class 

 for field spaniel dogs, blacK or liver, must have had a hard 

 time to beat Raven. He is leggy, faulty in eyes, color and 

 coat ; his ears are set on too high, and he is fight of bone. 

 Raven is faulty in head and is ligfit of body. Beau II. w as 

 equal to anything in the class, but his bead and forelegs are 

 not ot the right stamp. The winner in the corresponding bitch 

 class is leggy and famty in head, and Strathaven lacks in head, 

 ears, tail and shoulders. In the class for dogs and bitches 

 under 281bs. of any other color, Sappho, just a fair bitch, won, 

 and Jumbo, faulty in legs and feet, was the next on the fist. 

 Shina had things all to herself in the lightweight challenge 

 class, and we were glad to see this grand little bitch has re- 

 covered from a severe attack of distemper. She was not look- 

 ing her best, but is good enough iu her present condition to 

 beat anv bitch we know of. In the open dog class, Rex and 

 Black Graf are poor speciments. One of them is curly and 

 faulty in head. The other, curly, leggy and fight of bone. 

 Belle scored in the bitch class, but we preferred her kennel 

 companion (Juno W., vhc,) for the place. The good and bad 

 points of these bitches have frequently been alluded to of 

 late. Woodland Queen, second prize, was deserving of third 

 place. Woodstock Gipsey has a very poor head, but her coat 

 is straight. Gipsey is leggy and faulty in head. We would 

 have given first to Juno W., second to Belle, and third to 

 Woodland Queen. In the class for dogs under 281bs. weight, 

 any other color. Dart, the winner, is leggy, faulty in head and 

 crooked in forelegs. Sport, Jr., second prize, is leggy and 

 light of middle. Drum, third prize, is deficient in coat, head, 

 neck and length of legs. Sport, Jr., was our choice for first. 

 Dr. Niven went all astray in the corresponding class for 

 bitches, and missed the best one oE the lot, Lady Mack is her 

 name, and she is too short in back and too dark of color. 

 Woodstock Ruby, first prize, should have been second. She 

 is faulty in color, back, and in carriage of ears, she is also 

 underhung and stands too high on the legs. Rosedale Dot was 

 in her proper place, third. She is short in back, leggy and 

 faulty in head. Georgetown Ruby, second prize, has a 

 wretched head and should not have been iu the race. Belle 

 was the best ot the puppies, but it was a fearful blunder giv- 

 ing second to Dash. He is neither black nor liver, and nis 

 head alone is sufficient to keep him back. Queen, vhc, is a 



much better specimen, and so is Princess Tiney, unnoticed. 

 We never have seen Dr. Niven make so many mistakes as he 

 did upon this occasion, and are at a loss to know how to ac- 

 count for them. 



FOXHOUNDS— (MR. DAVIDSON). 



There were thirteen entries in this class, but we failed to 

 find a really good specimen ot" the breed. Roxey, first prize, 

 was the best of them, but he is light of bone and faulty in i&< 

 besides being deficient in loin and hindlegs. Ruler, second 

 prize, is better m legs and feet, but is faulty between the coup- 

 lings and light m second thighs. Many of the dogs exhibited 

 in the class have the feet turned out. The toes should be 

 turned m somewhat. This is an indication of speed, and any 

 man who has ridden to hounds knows that the tautest dogs 

 "toe in" a trifle. 



HARRIERS— (MR. DAVIDSON). 



This has always been a poor class, and Ontario proved no 

 exception to the rule. Leader, faulty in shoulders, feet and 

 stiength of limbs, was well placed first. Driver, second prize, 

 is a "yellow dog" but not a hairier, and Mr. Davidson was 

 generous in not withholding second money for want of merit. 



BEAGLES — (MR. DAVIDSON). 



This was a good class, and Mr. Dan O'Shea was well to the 

 front with Rattler and Music. Ringwood, he, is long cast and 

 short of ears. Bee, vhc, is loug cast, short of ears and wide 

 in front. Stump, vhc. , is too wide in front and has faulty 

 shoulders and ears. Stonner is ligfit of bone, long cast and 

 thin in tail, ears not well carried. They were correctly placed. 



DEERHOUNDS— (MR. DAVIDSON). 



Mr. Thayer took first, vhc. and he with his well-known 

 Lance, Lorna and Bran, but they were ruled out, and Wyvi's, 

 the second prize winner, was promoted to first place. She is 

 faulty in head, shoulders, legs, feet and coat. 



GREYHOUNDS— (MR. DAVIDSON). 



Friday Night and Memnon were the nick of these classes. 

 Misterton, in the challenge class, is plain "in head and heavy in 

 ears. The winner in the open dog class is light of bone and 

 f aulty in feet. He has a fair good head, good chest, loin and 

 stifles; a racer, but not a stayer. Jolly Boy, second prize, is 

 faulty in head, loin and tail. Ben, third prize, should be kept 

 at home. He is all out of shape and shows age. First in the 

 bitch class went to a racy-looking little bitch. She is a bit 

 too light all over. Fern, second prize, is faulty hi head, eyes 

 and ears. Silver, vhc, has ''prick ears." Among the puppies 

 we fancied Hawthorne Belle for first. She shows more qual- 

 ity and less lumber than the winner, and is better in head, 

 eyes and ears. 



FOX-TERRD3RS— (MR. BARLOW). 



These classes were carefully judged and little fault can be 

 found with the awards. Raby Tyrant had an easy win in the 

 challenge class for dogs, but had to give way to Vakeel, who 

 broke one of his forelegs en route to the show. Scarsdale was 

 absent. Village Belle took Richmond Olive's place in the 

 bitch class. She is light of bone and faulty in skull. Tip is 

 faulty in legs, feet, shoulders and coat. Mr. Thayer was 

 again the winner in the open dog class with Surprise, but 

 Venator came out best at the end and took the blue ribbon. 

 He is faulty in head, shoulders and ears. Enhurst Reveller, 

 second prize, is faulty in shoulders, light of bone and leggy. 

 The first prize bitch is light of bone and legg} r . Daisy, second 

 prize, is faulty in head and is too long cast. Boston Flirt, 

 third prize, is short in head, wide in front and light of bone. 

 The wire-haired class was not good, at the same time it was 

 above the average. Bristles, faulty in head and light of 

 middle, but good in legs, feet and bone, was just about the 

 best. Jasper, second prize, is faulty in head and ears, and is 

 too leggy and long cast. His color, too, is against him. 

 Venom, he, is faulty in head, coat and mouth. There we-e 

 eleven entries in the puppy class. The winners were the best 

 of the lot and we did not see anything that is likely to leave a 

 mark at future dog shows. 



MASTIFFS— (MR, BARLOW), 



Nevison scored an easy win over Nelson. The latter is too 

 long in the face but is ot good size. Miss Nevison, winner of 

 first in the bitch class, is a well grown youngster, good in 

 legs, feet, bone and color, but too long from eyes to nose. 

 Korah, placed second, is faulty in head and ears. 



ST. BERNARDS— (MR, BARLOW). 



The dog class was a good one, and brought out Otho, Priam 

 and First Choice. The latter compensated his owner for the 

 New York defeat. He is a promising young dog, and Martin 

 had him in tip-top condition. Had he more bone and a better 

 tail, he would be a very difficult dog to beat. Otho has not 

 improved, and was not in good condition. His grand front 

 makes for him many friends. Priam's fault is behind, and his 

 color is not as desirable as that of First Cnoice. Daphne, in 

 the bitch class, is a good, lengthy bitch, and should throw 

 something good to Otho. Orta is a fair puppy. 



NEWFOUNDLANDS— (MR. BARLOW). 



This was a good class, and Mr. Barlow was not long in sift- 

 ing the wheat from the chaff. Boxer, faulty in ears, eyes 

 and tail, beat Bruno, faulty in coat and tail. The others in 

 the class are all to curly in coat. 



COLLIES— (MR. DAVIDSON). 



Mr. Rothera had the challenge class all to himself, and Lad- 

 die beat Argyie in the open dog class. The former shows 

 some collie character, but his ears are much too heav3 r , and 

 his head and tail are faulty. In frill and mane he is very 

 good, and his legs, feet and back will pass inspection. Ar- 

 gyie, better in head, ears and tail, was our choice for first. 

 The others were well placed. In the bitch class, Jean, faulty 

 in head, eyes and coat, was placed second to a fair good bitch 

 that might be improved at both ends. There was really only 

 one smooth-coated specimen among the seven entries, and 

 she has far too much hair on her brush. The puppies were 

 better. Laddie, the winner, is a fair good specimen, a bit 

 behind the standard at both ends. 



BULLDOGS— (MR. BARLOW). 



With Tippoo, Rhodora and Romulus out of the way, Bill had 

 no trouble in securing the blue ribbon. Guillermo is faulty in 

 head and body. 



BULL-TERRIERS— (MR. BARLOW). 



Dutch, Jr. repeated his New York victory- He is a good 

 little dog, and but for the patch on his body would be a very 

 difficult one to get rid of in any company. He might be better 

 below the eyes, but he has a rattling good body, capital legs 

 and feet, and an almost perfect tail. One of the best dogs that 

 was ever exhibited in England was a patched dog, and he won 

 all before him. Yes, it mav be many a long day before there 

 will be another Youug Victor. Gypsey, placed second, is a 

 fairly good bitch, but not the winner's equal in any respect, 

 and her ears have not been well ' 'cropped. " Dick, third prize, 

 is bull in head and tail. 



BEDLINGTON TERRIERS— (MR. BARLOW). 



Thanks to Mr. Jackson, these classes were the best we have 

 seen Elswick Jock took first, and is by no means a bad one. 

 His head and tail are not quite to our liking, and he stands a 

 bit too low on the legs. Blucher, placed second, has a good 

 head to recommend him. The winner in the bitch class is 

 better than any of the dogs and is a nice specimen. Her worst 

 fault is from the eyes to nose, She was not looking her best, 

 as she was nursing a promising litter by Elswick Jock, The 

 puppies were not good, and if Ananias had been on hand, he 

 would have scored an easy victory. 



YORKSHIRES AND SKYES— (MR. BARLOW). 



Dandy was points the best Yorkshire in the show. He would 

 do with more coat and he lacks in color of tan. Prince, in the
