HATCHING SHAD.— The United States Fish Commission's 

 steamer Lookout arrived in the Delaware. River off Glouces- 

 ter City on May 1, to commence the work of artificiallv hatch- 

 ing shad and stocking the stream with them. The Fish Hawk, 

 a lamer steamer, commanded by Lieut. Pietmeyer, of the 

 Navy, which did the work last year, will arrive in a few days 

 to relieve the Lookout, and will remain up the river until after 

 the close of the season. It is proposed to place fifty million 

 young shad in the river from these vessels. The Lookout 

 already has one million eggs in the incubators, a.nd the first 

 spawn* will be liberated in about four days. The eggs are ob- 

 tained from the largest and finest female shad just as they 

 ai-e drawn from the water in the big seine net at Thompson & 

 Guy's fishery. The Government officials have the first pick 

 and pay a stipulated price for each fish used. The hatching 

 process consists in placing the eggs in jars containing water 

 heated above the normal temperature of the river, and keep- 

 ing them constantly in motion. In from four to seven days 

 the young shad break through the eggs and are placed in the 

 river to start on their perilous journey to the sea.— Philadel-

THE CLEVELAND DOG SHOW. 



THE third dog show of the Cleveland Bench Show Associ- 

 ation was held at Cleveland, O., last week. Previous 

 shows at Cleveland have proved very satisfactory to the ex- 

 hibitors as well as the association, aud we are pleased to note 

 that this show will compare favorably in this respect with 

 any that has been held. The Tabernacle, in which the show 

 was held, is of good size and well ventilated, but is badly 

 lighted. The benches were well arranged, and the manage- 

 ment was first-class, except that there were not attendants 

 to do the necessary work in its proper time. -The dogs were 

 well cared for, and the exhibitors warmly praised the manage- 

 ment for the care taken of their interests and for the efficient 

 and cordial manner in which their wants were attended to. 

 There were 3(55 entries, with 30 absentees. The quality in 

 most of the classes was good, the English setters being re- 

 markably tine. One of the local papers solemnly announced 

 that "taking all things into consideration there is not a poor 

 dog in the show." We have no knowledge of where the re- 

 porter draws the line, but pre&ume that it is at the "yaller 

 dog," as the judge failed to find a worthy recipient of the 

 special offered for this kind. There were quite a number of 

 dogs that made their first appearance in public. Some of them 

 made the knowing ones open their eyes, and we have no 

 doubt that this operation will be repeated if these dogs put in 

 an appearance at future shows, no matter how hot the com- 

 pany. 



Judging did not commence until 2 o'clock on Tuesday, and 

 was not completed until late on Thursday. The management 

 thought that the public would like to'see the dogs judged, 

 and this was the reason for the delay. We can assure them, 

 however, that this is a mistaken idea. We have taken great 

 pains to obtain information upon this point, and are certain 

 that a very large majority of the public who visit dog shows 

 are far more anxious to see the "best of its breed" than to 

 witness the process of selection. It is also true, that, until the 

 cards are put up, the display of dogs to most of the visitors 

 means nothing, but when the animals are graded according 

 to their merit, the man who knows nothing about the char- 

 acteristics of the different breeds can compare the blue with 

 the red, and so on through the class, with opportunity at least 

 to learn something. Then again the exhibitor, or at all 

 events, the lucky one, is anxious for an early display of the 

 prize he has won, as he takes a pardonable pride in the suc- 

 cess of his favorite and the consequent words of praise be- 

 stowed upon it by the visitor. The weather, except a few 

 showers on the last day, was all that could be wished, and the 

 show was visited by a larger number than has attended any 

 of the previous shows held here. The judges of the different 

 classes were Mr. B. F. Wilson, Pittsburg, Pa., English setters; 

 Major J. M. Taylor, Cleveland, O., Irish and black and tan 

 setters; Mr. John Davidson, Monroe, Mich., pointers; Mr. J, 

 H. Naylor, Chicago, 111., all other classes. 



Only two protests were made. Mr. Seitner very foolishly 

 protested Keswick II. on account of late arrival. The rule 

 requiring entries to be present the morning of the first day is 

 a very necessary one, but in case of unavoidable delay it has 

 been the custom to waive its provisions, and as Keswick ar- 

 rived before the class was judged, the committee very prop- 

 erly refused to sustain the protest. Messrs. Whitehead and 

 Wright protested the Irish setter puppy Frank as being over 

 age, but it was proven to the satisfaction of the committee 

 that he was eligible, and the protest was not sustained. 



ENGLISH SETTEES — (MR, WILSON). 



There were many very fine animals in the English setter 

 classes, and several of them are good enough for any company. 

 The judge did not handle them at all well. He let no bad ones 

 into the money, but some of the best were entirely overlooked, 

 and others were rated below their merits. We are sorry to 



have to disagree with the decisions of Mr. Wilson, as we know 

 him to be a conscientious, painstaking judge. Outside indi- 

 cations are not always reliable in assisting one to form a 

 correct idea of the worth of an animal, and we are confident 

 that had the judge made a more careful examination and 

 comparison of the dogs, he would have arrived at different 

 conclusions in some instances at least. In the champion dog 

 class, Paul Gladstone, the only entry, was absent. In the 

 bitch class the beautiful Queen Alice won over her only com- 

 petitor, Liddersdale. Juno A., also entered in this class, was 

 absent. The open dog class was the best we have seen this 

 year. Mandan, the winner, is a stylish looking dog, of beau- 

 tiful color; he is a trifle coarse in head; having rather a wide, 

 short skull; he is also faulty in thighs, and might be better in 

 feet; he was shown too thin. Scottish Chief, placed second, 

 was much the best in the class. He is a trifle narrow in head 

 and might be better in thighs, but otherwise he is about as 

 good as the best. Pendragon, winner of third, is a well-formed 

 dog of good size, with a fair head, good body, legs and feet. 

 Brandon, vhc, has a good body and capital legs and feet; he is 

 much too thick and short in head, lacks quality and is very 

 bad in tail. Blue Hope, also vhc, is just a fair dog without 

 much quality. Tasso, he, is a fine upstanding dog, with capi- 

 tal shoulders, body, legs and feet, and a beautiful tail. He is 

 a bit wide and short in skull, and a trifle out at elbows; his 

 neck is also a little too short. Dash and Count, both he. , were 

 lucky. Knight of Snowden, unnoticed, was looking much 

 better than at Newark. Craig, also unnoticed, is of the same 

 type as Knight of Snowden and nearly as good ; he has a good 

 head, is wellput together, with capital legs and feet. Scot- 

 tish Chief should have been first, Knight of Snowden second, 

 with not much to choose between Pendragon, Mandan and 

 Craig for third. Tasso and Blue Hope were near enough to 

 these to merit vhc. , Brandon was worth he. , and Count a 

 single letter. The bitches were better even than the dogs, and 

 we are sorry to add that they fared worse. Lillian, the win- 

 ner, is a well-known field trial performer. She has a beautiful 

 head and neck, fair body and loin, with capital legs and feet, 

 and shows much quality. She lacks in chest, is too straight 

 in stifle and is off in tail. Vixen III. was placed second. She 

 is too plain in head aud lacking in quality for the place in such 

 company. Third went to Jeanette, a nice bitch not well 

 shown. Swan, vhc, is a good all around bitch with a good 

 flat coat; her head would be improved with more stop. Bess 

 M., Fannie M., vhc, and Akron Girl, he, are all well made, 

 but coarse and lacking in quality. Jealousy, vhc, is just a 

 fair specimen. Rosey, also vhc, is a fair bitch, with a 

 good head. She is a trifle light in chest and long 

 in back, and has open feet, Daisy, he, we failed to find. 

 Novelette was the best bitch in the class. How the judge 

 could overlook her many good points and evident quality we 

 cannot comprehend. Heather Hell, Abbess and Helen Doug- 

 lass, also unnoticed, are much the same type as Novelette, and 

 very close to her in merit. Novelette has recently arrived 

 from England, and is a first-prize winner at the Crystal Pal- 

 ace, Darlington and other shows. She was showu too fat, but 

 was in good enough form to win. Either the English judges 

 and many of our best known breeders are wrong or Mr. Wil- 

 son is wrong. The class should have been led by Novelette, 

 with Heather Belle second and Abbess third. Helen Douglass, 

 Lillian, Swan, Vixen III. and Jeanette were all worth the 

 three letters. Bess M. , Fannie M. , Jealousy and Rosey should 

 have been content with two letters each. At the head of the 

 he division we should place R. B, Morgan's Addie M., unno- 

 ticed. She is a strong, good bitch, well made and with capital 

 legs and feet. J. King's Daisy, also unnoticed, deserved a e 

 There were sixteen entries in the dog puppy class. The secre- 

 tary bad stated that where more than ten wero entered in a 

 puppy class the class would be divided. This of course only 

 applies to classes where dogs and bitches compete; but through 

 mistake this class was run in two sections, divided in the 

 order in which the entries were received. Prince Royal H., 

 winner of second in the second division, was much the best in 

 the two classes. Doc C, he, in the first division, came next. 

 Dude has a good head, but is shallow in chest and out at 

 elbow. Blue Prince is a fair specimen only, with a weak 

 head, short neck and straight stifle. Grouse is also a fair 

 puppy, with a weak head. Sport, unnoticed, deserved men- 

 tion for his good body, excellenl legs and feet. In the bitch 

 class, Nantahala, placed first, is faulty in head and ears, and 

 round in barrel; second was her place. Second went to 

 Sparkle, a coarse bitch, out elbow and not straight in forelegs; 

 she was worth he Dart Gladstone, vhc. , was the best of the 

 lot; she has no very serious faults. Lady and Blink Bonny, 

 both vhc, deserved their cards, as did Jealousy, he. ; she was 

 very close to them. Nellie and Nettie, both unnoticed, showed 

 more quality than anything in the class, and should have had 

 one or two letters each. 



IRISH SETTERS— (MAJOR TAYLOR). 



The Irish setters, as a whole, were the poorest lot that we 

 have seen at any show this year. In the champion dog class, 

 Eicho, Jr., had an easy win over Brush. Zella Glenduff, look- 

 ing well, had a walk over in the bitch class. There were only 

 five shown in the open dog class. They were properly placed. 

 Mickey C, placed third, except for a broken foot, was the 

 best of the lot. In the bitch class, first went to Laura B., a 

 very nice big bitch with plenty of bone. She is very well 

 made, but a little too much of English type. Cora, winner of 

 second, is a very promising puppy, but "not good enough to 

 beat Lorna, placed third. Noreen IV., vhc, was looking well, 

 and deserved the place. Clara Belle, also vhc, received all 

 she deserved. She has a short head and is too heavy in body. 

 Her good coat and color gave her the place. Nellie C. is a 

 fair little bitch shown out of coat and feather. The dog pup- 

 pies were nothing extra. Frank, the best one, is just a fair 

 puppy, with too much white on chest. In the bitch class, 

 first went to Cora, winner of second in the open class. There 

 was nothiing else in the class that we fancied. 



BLACK AND TAN SETTERS — (MAJOR TAYLOR). 



There were no entries in the black and tan setter champion 

 classes, and but two in the open dog class. Both of these 

 were winners of first and second here two years ago. They 

 have fallen off from their form then, and the judge withheld 

 first and placed them second and third, their relative position 

 two years ago. Dash, placed second, has grown coarse and 

 wide in front, aud is out at elbow. Mr. Brown was much too 

 fat. He has grown throaty and wide, and shows age. In the 

 bitch class, first went to Lottie, a very nice bitch, with rather 

 a plain head and poor tail, but otherwese very good. Second 

 went to Jess II., a fine big bitch with a fair head, and of 

 good coat and color. She is not quite straight on her fore- 

 legs. Duchess C. has an Irish head, and is of Irish type, 

 Bell, unnoticed, deserved the two letters. She is a fair light 

 weight, with too much tan on head. First was withheld in 

 the puppy class, and second given to Dash. We failed to find 

 him in his stall. He should be much better than the remain- 

 der of the class to be worth the place. 



POINTERS— (MR. DAVIDSON) . 



There were forty -two pointers entered and all were shown 

 except five of the Graphic Kennels and Jetsam, the Pittsburgh 

 winner. Taken as a whole, the quality was above the aver- 

 age. Robert le Diable was entered in the champion class over 

 55 pounds, but was not for competition. He has improved 

 since we last saw him. In the corresponding bitch class Lady 

 Croxteth, looking well, was alone. In open dogs first and second 

 went to Pap Smizer and Kingshot, litter brothers. They are 

 very well made with good legs and feet, both are a trifle weak 

 in head. Sweep, vhc, we failed to find in his stall. Young 

 Meteor, he is rather a nice puppy, but too wide in front. 

 Planet, c, was in bad condition. He appeal's to be a good 

 dog. His worst fault is his open feet. In the bitch class first 

 went to Romp, sister to Lady Croxteth, but a year younger. 



She is nearly as good as Lady, Second went to Lass, well 

 known. She was much too fat. Diana, vhc, is qute a fair 

 bitch, except that she is too snipy and a bit straight in stifle. 

 There was one entry in each of the small champion classes and 

 both were absent. In the open dog class first went to Tippe- 

 canoe, a taking looking dog with fair head, neck and chest, 

 good loin, quarters, tail, legs and feet. His ears are up a bit 

 high and he is a trifle wide in front. He might be better in 

 shoulders. Second went to Rumpty, a well put together dog 

 of considerable quality. He has a fan' head that would be 

 improved with more stop. Don and Doncaster, both vhc, 

 deserved their cards. Le Roy, he, is a taking looking dog 

 with good neck, shoulders, chest and tail. He is weak in head 

 and light in bone. Bull's Eye, also he, is a fair dog, a bit 

 leggy. Spot, unnoticed, deserved a card for his good body, 

 capital legs and feet. In the bitch class first went to Keswick 

 II. , winner of second at Pittsburgh. She is quite a nice bitch. 

 Her worst faults are a flat skull, not depth enough in chest, 

 and a bad gait behind. Lillie Bang, winner of second, is a 

 nicish lemon and white; she deserved the place. Fan, vhc, 

 looks, like a good one, but she was too fat to show. Daisy 

 Donald, he, was nursing a fitter and not inform. The dog 

 puppies were a poor class. Young Meteor, the winner, was 

 much the best. He was he, in the open large class. The 

 others were not very premising. The bitches were better, 

 although we noticed nothing likely -to win in the future in 

 good company. 



SPANIELS — (MR. NAYLOR). 



There were seven frish water spaniels shown. Count Ben- 

 digo was alone in the champion class. He was looking well. 

 In the open dog class first went to Patsy O'Connor, a rangy, 

 workmanlike-looking dog, with good head, ears, topknot, legs 

 and feet; his tail has been hurt, which will account for its bad 

 carriage. He also has a large white spot on chest. Second 

 went to Champion, of good shape and a nice head ; he was off 

 in coat. Onomoo, vhc, is well known. O'Duff, he, is fairly 

 well formed, but is too leggy and shallow and was short in coat. 

 In the bitch class first went to Little Sioux, a nice bitch with 

 a good head. She is a trifle short in body and was off in coat. 

 Gypsy, winner of second, is well formed. She has a mustache 

 and considerable feather on her tail ; her coat was also ragged. 

 There were no entries in the champion field spaniel class. In 

 the open class first went to Hornell Mikado, one of the 

 handsomest black and whites that we have seen. He is 

 fair all round, except that his tail is carried too 

 high. This was his first appearance. He is to be 

 at New York to take the measure of the cracks. Second went 

 to Peerless Gloss, a very nice dog of cocker type. Rocco, e, 

 has a good head, coat, legs and feet, but is to© short in body. 

 Bob S., unnoticed, is of fair type and deserved a notice. The 

 two others show a water spaniel cross. Black Beau, Jr., and 

 Hornell Dan were absent. The latter is a capital dog. He 

 gnawed a hole in his thigh the first day and was not shown. 

 Hornell Silk, looking better than at Newark, was alone in the 

 champion cocker class. In the open class for other than black 

 first went to Vic. She is faulty in head and ears and too short 

 in body. Hornell Belle II., winner of second, has a grand body 

 and a beautiful coat. She is a trifle faulty in head and has 

 chorea ; but for the latter we woidd place her first. Hornell 

 Nance, vhc, is faulty in head, but has a good body and the 

 best of legs and feet. The two others were not worthy notice. 

 Kino, winner at Pittsburgh, was first in the class for blacks. 

 He is a nice little dog, a trifle too short in body and stands too 

 wide in front. Hornell Jock, winner of second, is a little faulty 

 in head and ears, but is good in body. Hornell Dinah is a bit 

 light in bone, and was not in good condition. Ruby, he, is 

 good in body, but stands a little too high. Roy, e , is weak in 

 head and light in bone. Mikado, winner in the open class for 

 field spaniels, also won first in the puppy class. But one other 

 was shown. He was a mongrel and second was very properly 

 withheld. These classes were well judged. 



FOXHOUNDS- -(MR. NAYLOR). 



In the champion foxhound class Roxey II. was alone. In 

 the open class Ranger was first, and Abe, a handsome black 

 and tan with white feet, was placed second; he is too leggy 

 and is rather shallow. We preferred Leader, vhc, for the 

 place, he is better all round, except in beauty. The others 

 were a workmanlike looking lot. There was no uniformity of 

 type in the class, and not one that approaches the type called 

 for by the standard. 



BEAGLES— (MR. NAYLOR). 



There were nineteen entries in the beagle classes, with only 

 one absentee. In the champion class Bannerman, looking 

 well, beat Mischief. The open dog class brought out a capital 

 hound in Racket ;Lhe was bred by Gen. Rowett, and has a 

 grand head and an immense chest; he seemed to be slack be- 

 hind, which is perhaps owing to his thin condition; when in 

 good form he will undoubtedly be a hard one to beat. Driver, 

 placed second, is a workmanlike looking dog, but not of so 

 good type as Bob, vhc. Bob is a bit leggy, and might be better 

 in muzzle, otherwise he is good. Banker, also vhc, is 

 rather coarse. Boxer, e, might be improved in coat, brush 

 and muzzle; in other respects he is quite good. The 

 bitch class also brought out a new comer in Dot, 

 the winner. She is an excellent bitch. Her worst fault is a 

 trifle too much length of body. Piney, placed second, is a 

 serviceable looking bitch, also a little too long in body and 

 out at elbow, and is light in eye. Minnie, vhc , is very pretty. 

 She is weak in muzzle, and might be better in brush. Queen 

 Bird, he, is well made, with a good body. She lacks in 

 muzzle and ears. Millie, also he, is an excellent bitch. She 

 is somewhat snipy and a bit out at elbow. Maida, e. is a 

 little long cast, and a trifle out at elbow. She also lacks in 

 coat. Stella, also e, lacks quality. In the under 12 inch dog 

 class, Marchboy II. was alone, the other entry being trans- 

 ferred to the large class. Marchboy should have been entered 

 in the champion class, as he has won three firsts. He has lost 

 flesh during the catnpaign, and this magnifies his worst fault, 

 lack of substance. There were but two shown in the bitch 

 class. Fairy, placed first, we did not h*ke so well for the place 

 as Magnet. The latter is bad in forelegs and feet, but better 

 than Fairy in all other points. Maida II. was the only puppy 

 shown. If she gets a good coat and brush with age she wiil 

 do to show again. Both of the packs shown were very good. 

 The one placed first contained four first winners. The classes 

 were well handled. 



DACHSHTJNDE— (MR. NAYLOR). 



This was an excellent class, the most "sorty" lot we have 

 yet seen together. We thought them properly placed. 



FOX- TERRIERS — (MR. NAYLOR). 



Only four fox-terriers were shown. Stableford Joe, looking 

 better than we have seen him, was alone in the open dog 

 class, and his kennel mate Lyra, also looking well, won in the 

 bitch class, Busy, her only competitor, winning second. The 

 latter has a fan- head and good legs and feet ; she is not clean 

 enough before the eyes and stands too wide in front. First 

 was withheld in the puppy class, and no f ault could have 

 been found had the second, given to Lert, been withheld also. 



GREYHOUNDS — (MR. NAYLOR). 



With the exception of first and second there was nothing 

 worthy notice. Belle, the winner, is quite a nice bitch, with 

 a fail' head, good neck, chest and loins, and snows quality; 

 she is too straight behind and her feet might be improved. 

 Major, second, is well known. 



DEERHODNDS— (MR, NAYLOR). 



There were only two deerhounds shown. Fly, placed first, 

 is just a fair specimen. Garfield, given second, looks the bet- 

 ter of the two, but his ugly disposition prevented examina- 

 tion, and he was properly placed in the rear. 



MASTIFFS— (MR. NAYLOR). 



The only entries in the champion classes, Homer and Rosa- 

 lind, were absent. The open dog class brought out a very fair
