longer in face, squarer in muzzle, and good in hooks and legs, 

 Crowu Prince haying as much layback as a pug, hocks that 

 are so straight that like the man that stood so straight that 

 he leaned back, his hocks bend forward, and forelegs that are 

 as big at bottom as at top. It would seem that Mr. Hanbury 

 reasoned that he was sufficiently eminent as an authority to 

 smile at the storm of adverse criticism his ruling would evoke. 

 Then Mr. Beaufoy judged and reversed the logic of Mr. Han- 

 bury 's ruling; does this show that Mr. Beaufoy preferred the 

 pug-nosed type to all other virtues and merits in a mastiff? 

 Stop a bit. Shortly after this Mr. Beaufoy wanted a stud dog, 

 at Dr. Forbes-Winslow's sale. Did he buy Crown Prince? 

 Nary a buy; he took Prussian Prince (money could not have 

 been the d eciding point here) . Then his famous stud dog. Beau, 

 the best all-round dog in England , died. Crown Prince was still 

 in the market. Did he buy him? Not he; he bought H. M. 

 King Canute, another good all -round dog. So the logical de- 

 duction seems to be that Mr. Beaufoy judged the way he 

 thought the rage was running, but when he wanted a dog for 

 his own use, he took one of the type that pleased him the 

 most. Again, why does Crown Prince go begging in the mar- 

 ket? He can be bought for less than King Canute cost. If 

 short face, straight hocks, upside down legs, etc. , are the true 

 type of English mastiff, why does this exemplar of these glor- 

 ies seek a purchaser in vain? Now the fact is that the idea 

 that the extreme of short face is the necessary qualification in 

 a mastiff, even in England, is a delusion and a snare. I think I 

 have proved that Mr. Hanbury and Mr. Beaufoy do not so 

 hold, and from all I can gather from English fanciers, the 

 sober sound judgment of the majority of English fanciers is 

 against it. Bichard Cook, Esq., the honorable secretary of 

 the O. E. M. Club, a great admirer of Crown Prince, freely 

 admits that the dog is "too bully." Messrs. Taunton, Portier 

 and Nichols are also unequivocal in their commendation of 

 the ultra bulldog type, and M. B. Wynn, enthusiast as he is 

 for short face and ah approach to the" bulldog type, yet is as 

 emphatic as any one in condemnation of weak loins, straight 

 hocks, large ea rs and general lack of power. 



Two notable instances of the uncertainty of what the inline: 

 English type really is occurred to me at the New York show. 

 Mr. 8. Wl Smith said that Baby was the type of dog that he 

 would have put first a few years since, but that it was now 

 difficult to say what the English fancy really asked for. An- 

 other well known English fancier told me that Baby was the 

 type of dog that was winning when he left England ten years 

 since, and that he had been puzzled on his visits there within 

 the last few years to determine whether the fancy went for 

 mastiffs, or an enlargement of his special fancy, the pug. 

 This last gentleman kindly obliged me by bringing his pug 

 alongside of a "short-faced" mastiff; point after point we 

 went over their heads, and finally concluded that the only 

 difference in their types was that the pug's nose was fairly 

 straight on top, while the mastiff's was dished, and that the 

 pug had nice, neat ears, and "the mastiff beastly big flaps; the 

 mastiff having rather more ' 'layback." Of course in legs, feet 

 and body, the pug was way ahead. 



Will it not be well for us to stop and consider what we want 

 in a mastiff and what his characteristics really are, and not 

 go dreaming off on rolling twenty pug dogs into one and call- 

 ing him a mastiff, robbing the pug of his power and soundness 

 in the meanwhile? 



You, Mr. Editor, have mentioned dogs of late that are abso- 

 lutely disqualified under the scale. The minimum for height 

 is fixed at 21 inches, and some of the dogs you have com- 

 mended fall a very biginch short of this. How then can they 

 be good specimens? 



May I ask you, as a favor to American mastiff fanciers, to 

 publish the standard I inclose? It is that prepared by M. B. 

 Wynn, Esq., and that prepared by Mr. Portier for the Old 

 English Mastiff Club is about the same, only hardly as intelli- 

 gible. 



And will not our judges take this standard, think it over, 

 reflect on the type of dog it contemplates, and ask themselves 

 if a logical application of this standard justify them in some 

 of the rulings they have made. W. Wade.

POINTS OF THE ENGLISH MASTIFF. 



(Prepared for the Mastiff Club by M. B. Wynn.) 



Head.— General, very massive and short, with great breadth 

 and depth of skull, and squareness of muzzle. Expression 

 lowering. Forehead, broad, flat and wrinkled; eyebrows 

 heavy, with a broad stop extending well into the forehead. 

 Cheeks, fulL Eyes, wide apart, small, and sunken, dark 

 brown in color. Muzzle, short, truncated, deep and broad, 

 not tapering toward the nose; jaws very wide; line of profile 

 from stop level, not drooping toward the nose (i. e. , not hound 

 muzzled), black in color. Nose, large; nostrils large, and a 

 well-marked line between. Lips, thick and pendulous, they 

 should fall forward (not hang at the corners of the mouth as 

 in the bloodhound). Teeth, large, undershot or level. Ears, 

 small, pendent or semi-erect, not placed so low as in the 

 hound, the darker the color the better. 



Body,— General, thickset and muscular, with great length 

 and bulk, on comparatively short legs. Neck, short, thick, 

 and muscular; dewlap slightly developed. Chest, deep, wide 

 between forelegs. Shoulders, wide apart across breast and 

 back; shoulder blades deep. Back, long and broad Loin, 

 broad, flat, and muscular. Thighs, straight, muscular and 

 thick. Stem, fine, short, straight, thick at root, tapering to 

 tip, and carried down generally. Forelegs, short, from elbow 

 to ground straight, with plenty of bone and muscle. Hind- 

 legs , straight, well curved from stifle to hock, with plenty of 

 bone ; dew claws admissible. Feet, round, large and compact. 

 Coat, hard, short and fine. Color, fawn, with black ears and 

 muzzle, or good brmdles equal. Pieds are admissible and 

 equal for purity — award no points for color. 



Height.— General, produced by depth of body, not by length 

 of limb. Dogs, from twenty-seven inches at shoulder and up- 

 ward, the greater the height the better, providing there is no 

 loss of symmetry and character, and that the weight increases 

 in proportion. Bitches, generally average three inches less 

 than dogs.

Award a lesser number of points in proportion to the de-

[When it comes to expression of opinion, we cheerfully con- 

 cede that our correspondent is unapproachable. As a logician, 

 however, in reporter's parlance, "he should be content with 

 vhc." He starts off by complimenting Dr. Perry upon having 

 awarded his prizes to what he believes to be "the best and 

 truest type of dog " This deduction would be more logical 

 had Dr. Perry followed this type by giving first in the open 

 bitch class to Ilford Cambria, of the same type as Baby, in- 

 stead of following "the ruling fashion" by awarding the prize 

 to Lady Gladys, an undersized specimen, with the same faults 

 behind that are seen in Ilford Caution, and had he in the 

 champion bitch class placed Rosalind over Prussian Princess, 

 not so good in loin or legs, and not nearly so good a mover as 

 Rosalind, but with a head more in accordance with "the ruling 

 fashion," In writing of the ruling fashion in England, Mr. 

 Wade emphasizes the word "supposed" in a manner that 

 leads one to believe that the ideas of our judges upon this 

 point are all wrong. Then with delightful frankness he 

 proceeds to prove the contrary bv pointing to the course 

 of some of the fights of the Old" English Mastiff Club, 

 and quoting a single instance where a judge made a decision 

 not in accordance with "the ruling fashion" (condition of dogs 

 not stated), adding "that he was sufficiently eminent as an 

 authority to smile at the storm of adverse criticism his ruling 

 would evoke." As Mr. Wade has quoted Mr. Sidney W. 

 Smith, we take the liberty to add his closing remark, which 

 was, "Baby may be the best dog, but Ilford Caution is the 

 better mastiff." Mr. Wade cites the purchase by Mr. Beau- 

 foy of Prussian Prince and His Majesty King Canute instead 

 of Crown Prince, and adds, "Money could not have been the 

 deciding point here," but does not tell us what the deciding 

 point was. We will supply the missing link. Mr. Beaufoy is 

 too well versed in the science of breeding to purchase a six- 

 year-old worn-out stock dog that has a disputed pedigree 

 when he can procure a "good all-round deg" (except for a 

 weakness behind) like King Canute, the best living represen- 

 tative of his old favorite, Beau. Mr. Wade says that dogs 

 under 27 inches are absolutely disqualified. In order to make 

 this statement as intelligible as his remarks upon "the ruling 

 fashion," he should have added to it the last paragraph of the 

 standard, which says, "Award a lesser number of points in 

 proportion to the deficiency in the specimen to be 

 judged." A "deficiency" is not a disqualification. Mr. 

 Wade's request that judges read and ponder the standard 

 is all right; but in view of the fact that the rules of the ken- 

 nel clubs are silent upon the subject of standards, we fail to 

 see just how a judge who makes a wrong decision can be 

 brought to book save by the intelligent criticism of the public 

 press. If Mr. Wade will "take this standard, think it over, 

 reflect on the type of dog it contemplates," he will learn that 

 while a perfect head will score 40 points to the good, a weak 

 loin — counting it equal in value to back — will only take 2 

 points and bad legs but 8 points from the grand total, and in 

 case only two legs out of the four are bad, the "logical deduction" 

 is that 1)4 points only will be demerited. He will also learn 

 that "a walk that would put a broken -legged grasshopper to 

 shame," does not count as a demerit, and that "size is an ab- 

 solute requirement" to the extent of 5 points only. He will 

 not learn, however, from this or any other standard that the 

 muzzle of the pug should be other than cut off square or that 

 he has any "layback." We are not discussing the merits of 

 the standard which Mr. Wade recommends, but merely point- 

 ing out some of its plainer teachings and the "logical de- 

 ductions" which naturally follow.] 



ST. LOUIS DOG SHOW. 



[From a Special Correspondent.] 



THE third annual dog show of the St. Louis Gun Club was 

 held in the east nave of the Exposition Building May 18. 

 19, 20, and 21. The entries numbered 381 and but very* few 

 were absent. The judges for pointers, English setters, beagles, 

 dachshimde, greyhounds and deerhounds was J. M. Taylor of 

 Cleveland, Ohio; Irish and Gordon setters, Mr. W. H. Pierce, 

 Peekskill, N. Y. ; Dandy Dinmonts and Scotch and hard-haired 

 terriers, Capt. C. W. Bellairs, St. Louis, Mo. ; St. Bernards, 

 collies, fox-terriers, spaniels and all non-sporting except as 

 above, J. H. Naylor, Chicago, III. The judging gave general 

 satisfaction, and the local visitors as well as those from a 

 distance, expressed themselves well pleased with the ex- 

 hibition. The prizes in the regular classes were liberal, and 

 the specials were very numerous, amounting to 114. As has 

 been stated in these columns before, special prizes are becom- 

 ing a nuisance at shows, and in place of assisting the finding 

 out of the best dog of the different breeds are in many cases 

 so offered as to become a gift to the animal. The manage- 

 ment, especially Mr. Geo. Munson, worked hard to make the 

 show a success financially and otherwise, and we are pleased 

 to say their efforts were crowned with success. The weather 

 was warm, in fact we might say on Friday it was too warm 

 for the real comfort of the dogs, and there was a falling off 

 in the attendance during the afternoon. The quality of the 

 dogs in most of the non-3porting classes was poor, while that 

 in the pointer and most of the setter classes was good. 



POINTERS. 



Robert le Diable was the only entry in the champion class 

 for large dogs, and he was absent. There were no entries in 

 the heavy weight bitch class. In the open class for large 

 dogs, eight faced the judge and they were an exellent lot. 

 Young Meteor, placed first, is an exceedingly good one, back 

 of his neck which is too short, his head is a trifle coarse, and 

 his ears are placed too high. Second went to Gypsy, a good 

 dog with the exception of being very throaty. Third went to 

 Sweep, coarse in head and a trifle weak in stifles and hocks, 

 otherwise a good one. In the open class for heavv weight 

 bitches first went to Belle Faust, a good one, and we'll koown 

 to your readers. Second went to Vixen, a very large bitch with 

 little lumber about her. except for her bad ears, and being a 

 trifle long in barrel, we like her very much. Third went to 

 Nellie,afair bitch,plainin head, short in neck and light in stifles. 

 Robin Adair was alone in the champion class for light 

 weights, and received the award. Vanity alone in the bitch 

 class, also received the award. There were three dogs shown 

 in the open class ; first went to Krupp, transferred from the 

 larger class. He was shown bad in coat, and is short in head, 

 otherwise he is an exceedingly well made dog. Second went to 

 Krupp's fitter brother Rod, also shown in bad coat, he is a 

 good all round dog and we liked him better for first. In the 

 open class for light weight bitches, seven faced the judge. 

 First went to Keswick, she was placed first at the late N. Y. 

 show; and is well known to your readers. Second went to 

 Dell, a nice little bitch full of quality, excellent in neck, 

 shoulders and chest, her ears are not as good as we would like 

 them, and her feet are not good. Third was withheld. Ten 

 dog puppies faced the judge. First went to Maximum, a big 

 puppy strong in bone, he is a trifle throaty for a puppy, and 

 too long between the couplings. Second went to Colonel 

 Faust, he is well put together with plenty of bone for a 

 youngster. In the class for bitches first went to Miss Wood- 

 ford, a fair all round puppy. Second went to Nellie B., like 

 her brother Colonel Faust, she is a good puppy well put to- 

 gether. 



ENGLISH SETTEES. 



There were two dogs shown in the champion class. Paul 

 Gladstone and his illustrious sire old Gladstone, for exhibition 



only. He was looking remarkably well and is exceedingly 

 active for a dog nine years of age. Paul received the award. 

 He was shown in grand shape and was as hard as a rock. The 

 more we examined him, the more we were impressed with 

 him. He is a small dog of great substance, ani is so exceed- 

 ingly well put together that it is difficult to find many faults 

 in him. His head appears much better than when we last saw 

 him. Juno A. was first in the champion bitch class, she is 

 a fine bitch and is well known to your readers. In the open 

 class first went to Mandan, a description of him will be found 

 in your report of the New York show. His condition has much 

 improved. Secoud went to the well known field trial winner 

 Roderigo. His bench show form has improved since we last 

 saw him, and it takes a good one to beat him. Third went to 

 Bridgeport, a well made dog with but few faults. He is of a 

 heavier type than Major Taylor likes. In the bitch class 

 eighteen faced the judge. First went to Dixie, excellent in 

 head, chest, shoulders, legs and feet, she is a trifle sway- 

 backed and long between the couplings. Second was given 

 to Vixen III., a description of her will be found in your report 

 of the late New York show. Third went to Haidee, a sweet 

 little all-round bitch, we think her good enough for any com- 

 pany. In dog puppies first went to Goldstone, a very promis- 

 ing youngster, fie is a trifle fight in muzzle and long in the 

 back. He will be heard from again. Second went to Dashing 

 Prince, a fair puppy well put together. In bitch puppies first 

 went to Darkness, a fairly well made one. Second went to 

 Fawn II., a very nice all round bitch, we thought her fully 

 equal, if not better, than Darkness. 



BLACK AND TANS 



were a weedy lot; Nora, the only entry in the champion class, 

 was absent. In the open class for dogs first was withheld, and 

 second went to Don, a poor specimen. In the open class for 

 bitches the best bitch was Patti, in fact she was the only good 

 specimen shown, and through the careless handling of an at- 

 tendant, who brought her before the judge, she would not 

 stand on her feet to be looked over, and Nellie, a bitch, weak 

 in stifles, hocks, pasterns and too long in the body, was given 

 the place. If Mr. Pierce had seen Patti on her limbs as he did 

 later, she would have beeu given the place, as she is a very 

 symmetrical bitch, with capital limbs; Nellie was the better in 

 head and feathering, and the tan was much better in color be- 

 hind. Nellie was also given the place for puppies. Second 

 went to Nell, poor in head, legs and feet, and a trifle weak in 

 back. 



IRISH SETTERS. 



Elcho, Jr., was the only entry in the champion class for dogs, 

 and he was awarded the prize. Faun, alone in the class for 

 bitches, received like honors. In the open class for dogs, first 

 went to Glenclair, he is a typical Irish setter, with few faults, 

 and was properly placed. Second went to Patsy, he is put 

 together for work, his plain head is his worst feature. Third 

 went to Frank, a racy built youngster with lots of substance, 

 but shown too thin. In the open class for bitches Lama B. 

 was properly placed first; she is a symmetrical bitch with 

 rare substance and quality, we might add that her head is a 

 trifle to much of the English setter type. Second went to 

 Grace Glencho, a new bitch, she is of the true Irish type all 

 over, combined with substance ; if shown in condition she will 

 be heard from again. Third went to little Lorna; her faults 

 which are few are well known. In the class for dog puppies 

 two poor specimens were shown, first was withheld and 

 second was given to Bob White. In the class for bitch pup- 

 pies, first was given to Bridget D. II., a fair specimen but not 

 first rate in color. Second was withheld. 



A full list of awards in the regular and special classes will
