THE NEW DOG SHOW RULES. 



Editor Forest and Stream: 



Some months ago you were kind enough to give publicity to 

 an article upon the first sample of dog show rules fesued by 

 the American Kennel Club for the guidance o£ its members. 

 Subsequautly the club delegates met at Philadelphia, where a 

 new set of rules were framed, and are, I understand, to be 

 brought before the Pittsburgh meeeting for final adoption. 

 "With your permission I will comment upon these rules, which 

 I will premise by saying are a vastly superior set to the old 

 ■"shnke bag" lot. Nearly all of tlie suggestions off ered in my 

 former criticism have been adopted, but 1 think the rules can 

 yet be improved. 



3. All dofr^ entered for competition or eshibifion only shall be 

 ■entere^l in the name of the bona .ride owner. Such entry rau*t be 

 ideutifled by the name of the dog-, its'dat" of birth, and. if known, the 

 name of its sire, dam and breeder, otherwise it must be entered 

 "pedieree unknown." It the name of a Aog wliicn has won a first 

 prize has changed, its na me at lime of wiDuLng any and every such 

 prize, and the place thereof, must be ^ven. 



For "shall be entered," it would be better to make it "must 

 be entered." The words "aud, if known" should precede "its 

 date of bu'th." There .should also be a correction made in 

 "otherwise it must be entered 'pedigree unknovt^n.' " The 

 pedigree may be known, but its date of birth or the breeder's 

 name may be unknown or forgotten, and in such a case "pedi- 

 gree tmknowu" does not apply. The word "been" is required 

 in the sentence "If the name * * * has changed." Then 

 a limit should be specified as to how many times the repeti- 

 tion of the old name and record must be given. The pre- 

 sumption is that tnis applies only to the first entr.y made after 

 the change, and if such is the case it should be so' stated. 



3 IE a dog is entered without hein^r ideatlfied, as directed ia Rule 3, 

 it shall be di«qaalitied from c-ompetitiou. 



The vs'ords "from competition" had better be omitted. 



4. Puppies maybe entered in the Krowxi classes in addition to the 

 pupp.y class by the payment of an extra entrance feo. 



In this rule it would be well to clearly specify when a puppys 

 eligibility to the class ceases. For instance, if a dog's date of 

 birth IS Sla.y 1, 1S85, aud a dog show is held be.ginning on May 

 1, ISSfi, with the entries closing on April 29, some may con- 

 sider that it is eligible because it was under a year on the date 

 of closing the entries. Then again, is it or is it not over the a£;e 

 on the recurrent date? It is a point that ought to be made 

 clear and it seems to fit on to this rule better tnan any other. 



I). Dogs to be eligible for special rn-izes must in nil eases bo entered 

 in their regular classes, an'1 no dog eligible for special prize.s can be 

 with(ir.g,\vTi froQi competition, uuless it has been stated on entry 

 blaiiks. "Wi'l not compete for special prize=i." Stud dogs aud brood 

 biiehts with their progeny, may compete for such special prizes as 

 may be offered, but the progeny must be entered in regular classes. 



The opening of this rule is a relic of the old one. It is not 

 necessaiy at all, as it would be extremely diflacult to see how 

 a dog could compete at all unless entered, and how can he be 

 entered iu any other way than in the regular class. Let the 

 'committee, by all means, cut out all useless verbiage, and in 

 this iTile all purposes are served by making it begin, "No dog 

 eligible for special prizes, etc." "Entry blanks" should be 

 "entry blank," as the rule refers to a dog. 1 fail to see the 

 object of tlie addenda respecting stud dog aud brood t>itch 

 prizes. It is purely a matter within the province of the show 

 committee and will be fully covered by the Avording of the 

 premium list. It would he equally propar to say, "Dogs com- 

 peting for a kennel prize must be entered in the regtilar 

 classes." There is no necessit.y for that and neither is there 

 for the clause as given in the rule. 



The wording of Rule 8 is very crude, "Any dog * * * 

 must have stated on its entry blank, etc." 



9. In estimating ttie number of prizes a dog has won, with refer- 

 enceto whether it should competeia champion class or no t, thenum- 

 ber of prizes won shall be calculated up to 13 o'clock noon of tae day 

 previous to the day of closing entries for the sihow. 



I fail to see the object of eUgibility being calculated up to 

 noon of the day previous to the day of closing entries for the 

 show. An exhibitor tilling out an entry blank on the date of 

 closing entries puts down three first prizes, one of vyhich does 

 not count for a champion class because it was awarded on the 

 afternoon of the preceding day. That is decidedly wrong. 

 In England, entries close with tlie secretary on the announced 

 date, not as with us by maOing a letter on that d'.y, and the 

 Mmit is noon of the day previous. With us all prizes won on 

 the day of closing should be included in estimatmg ehgibility 

 to champion class. 



10. Dogs that have won in a champion class shall be continued in 

 said class. 



This has been characterized as a legacy of "construction," 

 Possibly the framer of this rule meant to say "a champion 

 class under these rules," and that is quite proper. After a dog 

 had won three prizes at associate club shows, and thm a 

 champion prize, two of the clubs might resign and this would 

 give the dog only two prizes, one of which, is a champion, and 

 throws it back into the open class. 



14 Dogs that have been erroneously entered may betransfej-red by 

 the judge to their proper classes, If sach classes have been judged 

 they shall not be reopened. 



If we are to understand that exhibitors are all to be treated 

 alike, it is difficult to see how such can be the case under such 

 aiiile. A member of the Executive Committee informs me 

 thiat the rule was suggested by a case which occurred at the 

 late Philadelphia show, in which a pointer was entered in the 

 wrong class through the owner not being aware of his in- 

 creased weight putting him in the large size class. If the at- 

 tempt is to be made to provide rules for every special circum- 

 stance that may arise at a dog show, we wUl soon be in a 

 worse phght than we were before. Take two cases: Mr. A. 

 enters a dog in the bitch class by mistake, and Mr. B. gets his 

 bitch in the dog class. Manifestly, if it is proper to correct 

 Mr. B.'s error, Mr. A. should be equally favored ; butitsohap- 

 peos that Mr. A. cannot tae placed on the same footing as Mr. 

 B., because the class in which his do.g should have been en- 

 tered has been judged. The principle is entirely wrong; both 

 exhibitors should be treated alike. This can only be done by 

 throwing the responsibihty of the error on the pei'son who 

 made it, and let the entry form govern in all cases. In other 

 words, the rale should be that errors in making entries cannot 

 be corrected by the managers. 



15 The decision of the judge.s shall be final in all cases, except 

 where mistake, fraud, misrepresentation or collusion can be shown. 

 In such eases tlie managei-s, or such referee as they may appoint, 

 must decide all cases, and the dog must be rejudged. 



A little Lindley Mm-ray would improve the last sentence 

 "In such cases the managers * * * must decide all cases, and 

 the dog must be rejudged." 



17. Any person guilty of misconduct, or has been guilty of miscon- 

 duct, in any way in connection with dogs, dog shows or field trials, 

 nia.y, in the discretion of the managers, be disqualified from exhibi- 

 tion or competii ion at these shows. Such disqualifijation shall be 

 recogniz-d by all the members of this association, until the per.son 

 or persons disquahfied shall appeal to, and the case has been decided 

 by the executive committee. The disqualification of the owners will 

 apply to all dogs connected in the perpretaiion of the fraud. 



If the wording of this i-ule ran something hke this it would 

 read smoother: The managers of any club may sitspend or 

 disqualify any person proved to their satisfaction to have been 

 guilty of discreditable conduct in connection with dogs, dog 

 shows or field trials. Sttch suspension or disqualification shall 

 be recognized by all the members of the association and can 

 only be revoked by the executive committee, to whom appeal 

 may be made. The penalty shall extend to any dog connected 

 with the pei-petration of a fraud. 



There is a question as to how much the phrase "in cormec- 

 tion with, dogs" may be made to cover. It would seem to go 

 far enough to cover a case of wiUfid deceit in a. dog trade. 



la. A. castrated dog or spayed bitch shall be disqualified from com- 



peting, or from receiving a prize if awarded. Total or partial blind- 

 ness shall have great weight against a dog. 



I shoiiid like to know how a totally blind dog can be recog- 

 nized at all by any judge. 



19. All chibs shall reserve the right to exclude or remove from the 

 .show such dogs as it may deem proper or necessary. 



A better reading would be, ' 'The right is reserved to exclude 

 or remove from the show any dog the managers may deem 

 proper or necessaiy." 



20. Each member of the association shall appoint their judges, 

 arrange prize lists, form of catalogues, assume its own financial re- 

 sponsibility, and arrange such other details as may properly come 

 under its individual management. 



This is entirely out of place as a dog show rule. Its proper 

 sphere is in the rules appertaining to the association itself, 

 either in the constitution or by-laws.

THE ATTLEBORO DOG SHOW. 



Editor Forest and Stream: 



The dog show of the Attleboro Farmers' and Mechanics' 

 Association Fair, held at this place Sept. 1.5, 16 and 17, was 

 quite a success so far as attracting the attention of the many 

 visitors was concerned. The number of dogs exhibited wa,s 

 not large, but many of those present are well-known prize- 

 winners. The display of Now England foxhounds was very 

 fine. The beagles and groylioimds were also good. Among 

 the latter was the bitch Stealaway, recently imported by Mr. 

 H. W. Smith. Sbe is very good indeed, except that she might 

 be better in head. There was a good class of English setters. 

 Tallman's string was not for competition. Peck's Bad Girl 

 won first in the open class. She is a very well-built one, but 

 weak in head; otherwise she is tit for any compan.y. There 

 was a fair collection of Grordons. Trim, winner of first in the 

 puppy class, was the best of the lot. He is good all over, 

 with an excellent coat, and wiil be heard from again. Alto- 

 gether thei-e were about 100 dogs present, and the manager 

 infonued me that as many more had been refused. Mr. W. 

 Tallman managed the show very successfully, and I under- 

 stand that the society will make the dog show a permanent 

 fixture of their annual fair. The judges were Messrs. A. H. 

 Wakefield, Jacob Klebes, Wm. Tallman, W. Pi Medbury and 

 Luke White. Following is a fuU list of the

JUMBO, Barnum's great elephant, which was killed last 

 week, was ruled by the principles of Hammond's "Training 

 vs. Breaking." Mr. Barnum said of him: "He had known 

 Scott since he was three years old, and was very fond of him. 

 Our other men thought at first that they could manage Jumbo, 

 but they had to give it up. Scott ruled him by kindness. Our 

 American trainers think that the prod is necessary, but Scott 

 says not. He declares that he never used a prod on Jumbo, 

 and never governed him except by kindness. It was wonder- 

 ful how fond JumDo was of him." 



EASTERN FIELD TRlAJj^.—Editnr Forest and Stream: 

 The entries for the Membei-s' and All- Aged stakes of the East- 

 ern Field Ti-ials Club will close Nov. 15. Blanks can be ob- 

 tained by addressing W. A. Coster, Box 30, Platbush, Things

THE GOODSELL KENNEL.— Mr. E. I. Martin, of Wilming- 

 ton, Del., wiites us that he has purchased from Mr. J. H. 

 Goodsell, of New York, his entire kennel of pure Laverack 

 setters. 



THE PITTSBURGH SHOW has been postponed indefi- 

 nitely. We are informed that the setter and pointer classes 

 filled poorly and the non-sporting classes fairly well. 



KENNEL MANAGEIVIENT. 



No Kotlce Taken of Anonymous Corxeapondenta. 



C. F. C, Hartfoi-d City, Ind. Mr dog sheds his hair all the time. 

 He eats nothmg but fresh meat. His nose is hot and he is ^ ery poor 

 in flesh. Ans. When your dog has fever as indicated by hot nase and 

 skin and rapid pulse, give him three drox)S cf aconite tincture every 

 two hom's. Stop feeding raw meat aud give cold Indian meal mush 

 which has been cooked with a few bits of lean meat, also give nlfut v 

 of milk und broths of beef or chicken. The dog may be simply out of 



condition or may suffer from chronic indigestion or liver trouble 

 We cannot make a diagnosis from the meagre facts you give. 



W. S P., New York.— Your dog has canker in the ear. Take of 

 bromo chlorallum and laudanum equal parts and dilute with three 

 times their bulk of water, fill the ear and gently knead with fingers 

 for a short time. Repeat in twenty-fom- hours. Two or three appli- 

 cations will be sufficient. 



F. W. W., Worcester.— A pointer dog, a year and a half old, seems 

 perfectly well in every respect, is lively 1q the field, and is a hard 

 worker, but he is very poor and I cannot succeed in getting flesh on 

 him. Of course I don't expect him to be fat while hunting, but 

 within the last three weeks he has had no appetite, and what he has 

 eaten has been coaxed into him. Have tried two grain pills of re- 

 duced iron, but with no better results. He is fed on Indian cake, oat- 

 meal, wheat bread, beef chopped flue, potatoes and milk. He is con- 

 stipated and to relieve him gave a dose of sails two or three times, 

 which had the desired effect for a short time only. Ans. Keep your 

 dog's bowels in condition by giving teaspoonful doses of syrup of 

 buckthorn, given once or twice daily, according to the result obtained. 

 Have your druggist make you some small pills, each to contain one- 

 quarter of a grain of extract of nux vomica, one-sLxth of a grain of 

 calomel, and one grain of .sulphate of quinine, and give one pill three 

 times daily, bidden in a .small bit of raw or slightly cooked meat.
