PHILADELPHIA FALL DOG SHOW. 



Editor Forest and St j^eam : 



It was decided on last Saturday by the PliUadelpliia Kennel 

 Club to hold a bench show of dogs in conjunction with the 

 Pennsylvania Agricultural Society, dm"ing the week beginning 

 Oct. 5 next. 



It is the intention of the Philadelphia Kennel Club to make 

 such arrangements as will insure this exhibition to be one of 

 the lai-gest ever held in the United States. 



A new departure will be made from the general plan of dog 

 shows, and instead of benching the animals in a building 

 which cannot otherwise than be close, long and substantia] 

 sheds will be erected and each kennel will be separated, thus 

 greatly lessening the chance of sickness. The prize list will be 

 a very liberal one and special pi'izes will be offered for kennels 

 of five or more in many classes. Trials of sheep driving wUl 

 be given, and for the beneilt of exhibitors an express office 

 wo! be located on the grounds. Due notice wiU be made to 

 your paper of detailed an-angements. Homo. 



THE ENGLISH COLLIE CLUB. 



AT a meeting of the Collie Club, held at the Ci-ystal Palace 

 on Tuesday afternoon, July 7, the following description 

 of the dog whose interests the members study was adoptisd; 



"The skull of the colhe should be quite flat and rather broad, 

 with fine tapering muzzle of fair length and mouth the least 

 bit overshot, the eyes widely apai t, almond shaped and ob- 

 liquely set in the head ; the skin of the head tightly drawn, 

 with no folds at the coruere of the mouth; the ears as small as 

 possible, semi-erect when surprised or listening, at other times 

 thrown back and buried in the 'raff. ' 



"The neck should be long, arched and muscular, the 

 shoulders also long, sloping and fine at the withers* the chest 

 to be deep and narrow in front, but of fail- breadth behind 

 the shoulders. 



"The back to be short and level, with the loin rather long, 

 somewhat arched and powerful. Brush long, 'wi' upward 

 swirr at the end, and noiTnally carried low. 



"The forelegs should be perfectly straight, with a fair 

 amount of flat bone; the pasterns rather long, springy, and 

 slightly lighter of bone than the rest of the leg; the foot with 

 toes well arched and compact, soles very thiek. 



"The hindquarters, drooping slightly, should be very long 

 from the hip bones to the hocks, which should be neither 

 turned inward nor outward, with stifles weU bent. The hip 

 bones should be wide and rather ragged. 



"The coat, except on legs and head, should be as abundant 

 as possible ; the outer coat straight, hard and rather stiff the 

 under coat fiu-ry and so dense that it would be difficult to 

 find the skin. The 'ruff' and 'frill' especially should be very 

 full. There should be but little 'feather' on the forelegs, and 

 none below the hocks on the hindlegs. 



''Color immaterial. 



"Stmmetrt.— The dog shall be a fair length on the leg. and 

 his movements wii-y and graceful. He should not be too 

 small— height of dogs from 22m. to 24in., of bitches from 20iu. 

 to 22in. 



"The greyhound type is very objectionable, as there is no 

 brain room in the skull, and with this there is to be found a 

 fatuous expression, and a long, powei-ful jaw. 



'•The setter type is also to be avoided, with its pendulous 

 ears, full soft eye, heavily-feathered legs, and straight short 

 flag. 



"The smooth collie only differs from the rough in its coat, 

 which should be hard, dense and quite smooth.

"TRAININa VS. BREAKING."-Some weeks ago Mr. C. M. 

 Stark, of Dunbarton, N. H., asked if we could tell him some- 

 thing about the force system and how to apply it. We ad- 

 vised him instead of employing that system, to read "Train- 

 ing vs. Breaking," by S. T. iJammond, kennel editor of Forest 

 AifD Stream, and to train his puppy by the directions there 

 laid down. Now he wi-ites: "I have found your work, 'Train- 

 ing vs. Breaking,' of gi-eat assistance. It has given me a 

 great deal of satisfaction. My young dogs have improved 

 rapidly during the last few days. They both now charge, 

 to-ho, fetch and come to heel, ui a very satisfactory manner, 

 I did not get them when they wei'e quite as young as I wished, 

 they being over nine months old before I commenced to han- 

 dle them. I have now handled them for two weeks, and think 

 a couple of weeks more will make them pretty near perfect. 

 I follow your instructions about 'going slow.' " 



EASTERN FIELD TRIALS JUDGES.— Editor Forest and 

 Stream: At a special meeting of the Board of Governors of 

 the E. F. T. C. held July 23, in New York city, it was an- 

 nounced that Daniel C. Bergimdthal, Esq., of Indianapo- 

 hs; John Hunter, Esq., and Elliot Smith, Esq., of New York 

 city, have signified their accep^tance of the club's invitation to 

 judge at the Eastern Field Trials of 1885, and that in case of 

 "any vacancy occm'iing or another judge being required the 

 club wiU select the same from it members, among whom may 

 be mentioned Messrs. J. W. Orth, J. Otto Donner, Washington 

 A. Coster, B. F. Wilson, V. R. Hitchcock and Justus von Len- 

 gerke.— Washington A. Coster, Secretaiy and Treasm-er. 



"BLAME IT ON THE EDITOR."— Hulton, Pa., Aug. 1.-- 

 Editor Forest and Stream: "Blame it on the editor" that the 

 W. K. C. was omitted from my list of clubs who are the main 

 stays of dog .shows, — W. Wade. [The editor had nothing to 

 do with the omission of the club named. We did consider the 

 propriety of inserting the name in the revise of Mr. Wade's 

 letter, presuming that the omission was imintentional.] 



THE DAYTON DOG ^miW .—Editor Forest and Stream: 

 The Southern Ohio Fair Association will hold their third an- 

 nual bench show of dogs in connection with their tenth annual
