IRISH WATER SPANIEL SPECIALS AT CLEVELAND. 

 —La Salle, 111., Mav 9.— Editor Forest and Stream: Upon 

 looking over your very excellent report of Cleveland show I 

 was very much pleased with it. But I must ask you to kindly 

 make one correction for me. It is this. In your account of 

 specials won you mention that Patsy O'Connor won the 

 special for best Irish water spaniel bred in America. I am 

 pleased to say that it was my Count Bendigo that should get 

 the credit for that honor. My Little Sioux beat Patsy for best 

 dog or bitch in open class.— T. Donoghue,

THE NEW YORK SHOW. 



Editor Forest and Stream: 



In your report of the New York show you do me a grave 

 injustice. You are well aware that I never complain of criti- 

 cism by newspaper reporters, and if opinions differ as to 

 merits of dogs, why should not the press reporter differ from 

 the judge as to the awards? That is all right, and I am con- 

 tent to allow all reasonable freedom in showing up what is 

 thought to be my mistakes I always, however, reserve to 

 myself the rigUt to consider my judgmant at least as likely to 

 be correct as that of the reporter, owing to the more favorable 

 means of comparison a judge possesses over an onlooker. But 

 I will not allow a slander on my character, or motives other 

 than those of an honorable man to be imputed to me with 

 impunity. Disappointed exhibitors are only too ready to 

 seize any excuse for finding fault with a judge's unpalatable 

 judgments, and I regret that your reporter should aid and abet 

 them in the cry that I awarded prizes at random in my hurry 

 to get through quickly. 



Had your reporter* been in my ring and seen me doing my 

 work, he would never have perpetrated such a slander. I 

 positively affirm that my awards were as deliberately and 

 coolly made and represent my clearest judgment just as much 

 as if I had studied each class for a week. The only hurry 

 there was, was that of getting the dogs in and out of the ring. 

 You may criticise my judgments, but pray don't impute mo- 

 tives. You owe me an apology. J. F Kirk. 



Toeonto, May 16, 1886. 



[As Mr. Kirk disclaims having hurried through his classes 

 and awarded the prizes at random, we. cheerfully tender him 

 an apology for making the assertion. We wrote as we did, 

 believing that this was the only possible excuse he had for 

 placing some of the dogs as he did. We sincerely regret to 

 learn from him that the awards were the result of his delib- 

 erate judgment.] 



THE WILKESBARRE DOG- SHOW.— Wilkesbarre, May 10. 

 —Editor Forest and Stream: The committee having charge of 

 the Wilkesbarre bench show have decided to offer two special 

 prizes of $35 each, to the best kennel of four sporting and non- 

 sporting dogs respectively. A mistake in proof reading has 

 done us much injury in St. Bernard classes. The prizes for St. 

 Bernards should be £10 for first and $5 for second prizes, in- 

 stead of $7 and $4, as in premium list. All express companies 

 will return dogs free of charge. Full power will be given the 

 judge to award such prizes as he thinks tit in the miscellaneous 

 classes. The object for which this show is given appeals to 

 all military men, the receipts going to the fund to build an 

 armory for the Ninth Regiment; and further than that, if the 

 show is reasonably successful it will result in the formation 

 of a kennel club here, and an increased demand for good dogs 

 of all breeds throughout this entire section.— W. H. Tuck, 

 Secretary. 



BEAGLE AWARDS AT THE CLEVELAND SHOW.— 

 Wrightsville, Pa., May 15.— Editor' Forest and Stream: In 

 your list of awards of the special prizes at the Cleveland show 

 you wrongly gave my Fairy as the winner of the two special 

 prizes offered for the* best beagle bitch in open class. These 

 prizes were awarded to my bitch Dot (Bannerman— Floss). 

 Your list of the awards in the beagle classes is further incom- 

 plete, as you passed over the open bitch class (over 13 inches) 

 entirely. The awards in this class were as follows: Open, 

 over 1 2 inches— Bitches: 1st, A. C. Krueger's Dot; 2d, E. E. 

 Shaner's Piney. Very high com., Mrs. Geo. H. Hill's Minnie. 

 High com., A. C. Krueger's Millie and E. E. Shaner's Queen 

 Bird. Com., A. C. Krueger's Maida and C. W. Fromm's 

 Stella.— A. C. Krueger. 



SMOTHERED.— Portland, Me., May 10.— Editor Forest and 

 Stream: It grieves me to announce the death of my two 

 pointer puppies, Mikado and Belle of Woodford's, by Graphic 

 out of Zitta. The puppies were smothered while en route to 

 the New York bench show. Their loss can only be attributed 

 to gross negligence on the part of the express messenger be- 

 tween Portland and Boston, as we learn that they were re- 

 ceipted foi*as dead at Albany, and we have reason to believe 

 were smothered directly after leaving Portland. The brace- 

 as is usually the case— were the pick of the Utter, and were to 

 have gone from New York to Virginia to be trained for the 

 field trials. They were entered in the Western Derby, and I 

 had every reason to believe would have made a splendid brace 

 of field dogs. — F. F. Harris. 



WHAT THEY THINK OF THE "RECORD."— La Salle, 

 111 —I have received the "Kennel Register and Account Book 

 for Breeders," and I can assure you I am more than pleased 

 with it. If I had known it was such a valuable book, you 

 may be sure I would never have been without it so long. It 

 is just what breeders want, and I cannot see wnere it could 

 possibly be improved. Every breeder should nave it.— T. 

 Donoghue. [Specimen pages sent free on application ] 



SPECIAL PRIZES AT NEW YORK— The following awards 

 of special prizes at the New York dog show are additional to 

 those published last week: Best greyhound (two) W. H. 

 Huntington's Louisette; best brace, same owner's Harlequin 

 and Louisette. Best bulldog, J. E. Thayer's Belli si ma. Best 

 King Charles spaniel, J. Marriott's Clifton Belle.
