FOREST AND STREAM. 



[June 11, 1885. 



form from his appearance at Toronto, although somewhat 

 heavily built and large-headed for a little, one, was about as 

 good as either; but I noticed this morning, after all the judg- 

 ing was over, tbat he had on a wrong tag, ono belonging to a 

 liver bitch which was wearing Graf's number, so it is likely 

 the judge never saw Graf in his proper class. In bitches Juno 

 W., also much improved from her Toronto form, easily won 

 from Hornell Belle III., who is a fair little bitch, but toy- 

 headed. 



COOKER SPANIELS UNDER 2oLBS.— (MK. WHITMAN). 



To be judged by International Cocker Club standard. In 

 these classes were a few dogs and bitches that were evidently 

 intended for competition under the American Cocker Club 

 standard, among others Obo, Jr., Woodland Queen and Pansy. 

 Naturally these got no attention from the judge. Mr. Whit- 

 man, who is an honorable, fair-minded gentleman, will not, I 

 am sure, imagine that I intend any reflection in the slightest 

 degree on the bona fides of his awards, but I merely state my 

 opinion that the three cockers just named were the only ones 

 in those classes that had any appearance of ability to work. 



BEAGLES— (MR. KIRK). 



Dandy is a smart beagle a trifle wide in skull. Looks like a 

 good working hound. Cornet, wide in front, open feet, weak 

 in front of eye. tail docked, useful-looking stamp. Una, a very 

 nice bitch, good legs and feet, might be better in muzzle. Bon- 

 nie, small and pretty, rather long-waisted, throaty. Solo, 

 small on good legs, good body, straight tail. Scioto, bad legs 

 and feet. Daisy, heavy in whelp, fair bitch, not just right m 

 legs and feet. 



DACHSHXTNDE— (MR. KIRK). 



Waldman II., a very good black and tan, excellent charac- 

 ter, long, low, loose, level ; looks a little out at elbows, but 

 would not show himself to Advantage. Prince, another good 

 one, somewhat short in body. Gretchen, entered as five years 

 old, and as having won prizes in 1S76. A very excellent bitch, 

 getting too fat and thick through skull ; capital forelegs and 

 feet, good skin. Waldine III. , deficient in crook, short in head 

 and muzzle, good long body and plenty of skin. Lina L., not 

 yet developed; snipy and weak in front of eye, half crook, 

 small in bone. Wallexie, black and tan, short in body, high 

 on leg, harsh and tight in skin. 



FOX-TERRIERS— (MR. KIRK). 



No good ones. One fairly good pup. 



COLLIES— (MR. KIRK). 



Some very good ones. Gordon is a handsome son of Robin 

 Adair, excellent in every way, will be heard of again. Prince 

 Charlie, full of character, rather soft in coat, and gets his tail 

 up in the ring. Kelp, good-looking dog, with rather helpless- 

 looking ears. Boss, too full in eye and short in head. Lady 

 VI. , a very handsome bitch and well bred. Gyp, very close 

 to the winner, a good bitch. Juno II. , more than a fair col- 

 he. Two handsome pups out of Lady VI. had things all their 

 own way in the puppy class. 



BULL-TERRIERS— (MR. KIRK). 



Young Bill was the only one with any show of good breed- 

 ing, and his head was in a dreadful mess, from a recent acci- 

 dental scrimmage, it was alleged. 



BLACK AND TAN TERRIERS— (MR. KIRK). 



Olivette is by no means what she should be to win in good 

 company, and Tricksy, the six-months' puppy, may turn out a 

 better one. Jack had no coat. 



HARD-HAIRED SCOTCH TERRIERS— (MR. KIRK). 



Heather, although a little weak in jaw and a trifle too long 

 in coat, is an excellent type of the real terrier. Kirsty Glen 

 Will be another good one. Her ears are just a little large. 

 Rosie and Scotland Yet, entered not for competition, are 

 both good, especially Rosie, who just wants a little more 

 bone and a little less ear to make her perfect. 



DANDIE DINMONTS— (MR. KIRK). 



Bonnie Briton and Pansy are both excellent, the former ex- 

 celling in color and quality of coat, the latter in jaws and 

 teeth, length and muscular development. She is a remarkably 

 fine specimen, and was awarded the special for best dog or 

 bitch in the show entered by a lady. 



YORKSHIRE TERRIERS— (MR. KIRK). 



A fairly good class. No cracks. 



PUGS — (MR. KIRK), 



Bo-Peep had a walk-over in champion class. Pudgie, last 

 year's winner, a very good pug, although too large, beat 

 Punch, the dog placed first at the October show in New York 

 last year, but which was subsequently disqualified for having 

 had his white breast stained, 1 understand Mr. Dalziel put 

 this same dog over Bradford Ruby at New York this spring. 

 Now. if this dog stood on straight legs in front, and was minus 

 his white shirt-front, he would be an extraordinary good one, 

 but those faults were just sufficient to allow Pudgie, who is 

 undoubtedly a fine pug, to beat him. Another Punch got a 

 vh a, a nice dog, but small in head and eye. Josephine, a 

 puppy of considerable merit, beat Mollie, grossly fat and 

 smutty in color. 



TOY TERRIERS— (MR. KIRK). 



This was one of the best classes at the show, and the com- 

 petition was most exciting. I have never seen a finer lot, and 

 the winners, Duke, Jr., and Topsey, are real beauties. 



ITALIAN GREYHOUNDS— (MR. KIRK). 



A young undeveloped pup, already too large, took second 

 prize, first being withheld. 



KING CHARLES AND BLENHEIM SPANIELS— (MR, KIRK). 



The winning black and tan is a good one except as to his tail. 



POODLES— (MR. KIRK). 



Some fair dogs in this class. 



MISCELLANEOUS— (MR. KIRK). 



Three prizes were offered in this class and awarded as fol- 

 lows: English foxhound puppy Lady Stewart, a remarkably 

 nice puppy of correct type. Leo, a large German mastiff, of 

 rather dubious breeding I should think. Flora II., a fan- Eng- 

 lish retriever, not shown in good coat. There was nothing 

 else in the class worthy of consideration. * *

QUALIFICATION FOR EASTERN FIELD TRIALS 

 DERBY.— Editor Forest and Stream: "Free Lance" makes 

 a very good argument for changing the rules for the puppv 

 stakes, but if he had read his Forest and Stream more care- 

 fully he would have noticed that the rules have been changed- 

 by the Eastern Field Trials Club. It could not be made to 

 apply, however, to the Derby of tbis fall, as the event had 

 already been advertised and many puppies were in training 

 before the change was made. Next year, however, it goes 

 into effect. In publishing the running rules of the Eastern 

 Field Trials Club you faded to notice the amendments made 

 in the table of merit to be found among instructions to judges 

 Instead of 25 to pace we give 30, and instead of 10 for retriev- 

 ing we give 5. 1 inclose you a corrected copy of the rules and 

 should be obliged if you would reprint the table in your next 

 issue.— Elliot Smith.

BREEDING FOR SEX.— Boston, June 5.— Editor Forest 

 and Stream: My Chesapeake Bay bitch Ripple has just had a 

 litter which I think is unusual enough to warrant putting on 

 record, i. e., nine puppies, all dogs. Two of them were either 

 born dead or died shortly afterward, but the other seven were 

 strong and healthy. As I did not yvant to have the bitch out 

 of condition for this autumn's work I had one killed, leaving 

 six for her to bring up. They are all true to color, a dark 

 sedge brown, and as both sire and dam are thoroughly broken 

 for retrieving on land and water, and have respectively for 

 five and four seasons, given evidence of wonderful nose, endur- 

 ance and intelligence, it almost seemed a pity to kill one of the 

 litter. With regard to the cmestion of breeding for sex, the bitch 

 was served twice at about the middle of her heat. I do not 

 believe that by any system of breeding we can have any in 

 fluence whatsoever on the sex of the progeny, The proportion 

 between the sexes will be found to be about the same, on tbe 

 whole, whatever theories in breeding may be acted on. — F. B. 

 Greenough. 



RED IRISH SETTERS AT PHILADELPHIA AND NEW 

 YORK. — Editor Forest and Stream: In your report of the 

 late Philadelphia dog show ; you say that Elcho, Jr., with 

 Bruce, competed for the special for best setter with one of his 

 get, and was among the defeated ones. Permit a correction: 

 Elcho, Jr., and Bruce are fitter brothers, and Elcho, Jr., did 

 not compete for any stock prize. Wdl Mr. Callender kindly 

 state the breeding of the bitch that won third prize in open 

 Irish class at the late New York dog show. T am of the bpin 

 ion that the prize fists and marked catalogues are wrong, — 

 Wm. Jarvis. 



WRONGLY ENTERED.— The entries (as printed in the cata- 

 logue) of a number of the prize winners at Chicago last week 

 were not in conformity to the ride of the A. K. C. which says 

 that the names of sire and dam must be given when these are 

 known. 



NEW JERSEY KENNEL CLUB,— A meeting of the exec- 

 utive committee of the New Jersey Kennel and Field Trial 

 Club has been ordered for tins evening, Thursday, Juno 11, at 

 Taylor's Hotel Jersey City.— A. P. Vredenburgh, Sec'y.
