FOREST AND STREAM, 



131 



Mr. Belmont took revenge for Bacchanal's defeat and scored 

 first witli fSafety, a good'one. Slie is a trifle ligM in limb, 

 stands rather Mgli and miglit be better in coat and feet. 

 She made the best of herself In the ring and won with several 



Koints to the good, Mr. Belmont has had hard luck with 

 is dogs and his victory with Safety wa.s a popular one. 

 Diadem Tvaa wisely withdrawn from competition and she 

 should not have bt-en smt to the show. Coi'Tiwall Duchess, 

 second prize, although sho\^•^ rather light in fl esli was looking 

 better than wo ]ia\'e ever seen her, and mneli credit is due to 

 Dawson foi' the eoDdition in which the Messrs. Rutherfurd's 

 dogs were shown. Marguerite, third jirize, was Incky in get- 

 ting on to the prize list as her coudition w.as very bad and 

 we Avonld have pnt her back on that account. She is entered 

 at Waverly and mav be set light in time for that BhoM% 

 Saucy, foniih prize, showed up very badly in the ring and 

 Mr. Ruthei'fard found it necessary to turn her over to Daw- 

 son, who finally persuaded her to walk across the judges' ring 

 "but when he askeri her to carry her ears px'operly and put up 

 iiBf tail she I'efused point Idaiik. She is just a fair bitch but 

 ■will never be a winner in good company. In head, ears, 

 strength of limbs and coat she is dehcient. Lurette, vhc. 

 and reserve, is cheeky, leggy and wide in front, but shows 

 some character. Delta, he., Avas rather lucky in lioing noticed, 

 as she is a wreck of her foi-mer self; she should be relegated 

 to the stud, that is the jn'oper place for hei*. Blen:toii 

 ArroAv, he, like Delta, was suckling a litter of good- 

 looking puppies l?y Bacchanal. Her feet are not good and 

 she is light in iDone. In head and ears she will do. 

 Chance, he, is faulty in .skull, ear.s and coat and is too 

 weedy. She was bred to A^aiet dxiring the show, and the re- 

 sults' of siich :\ cross should be something above average. 

 Cbauce is by Royal nut of Diana. Leda, he, does not carry 

 hei' ears v> ell and is leggy and light in loin. Blemton Lilly, 

 e., was in luck's way. Slie is a very ordinary specimen, and 

 .is decidedly faulty in head, cai's, legs, feet and stifles. Clover 

 Polly, Clover Fidget, Scavsd.ale Folly, Veuom 111., Vice and 

 Clover Foppy, exhibited Ijy the Messrs. Kelly, are not show 

 dogSj but owing to their good blood should thro\v lietter 

 lookiug stock than tliemseh^es. Blemton Thyme, another 

 well-bred one shown by Mr. lielniont, is not un to show 

 fofm. Blemton Mai'iKMl,!, iVoni the same kennel, -was ab- 

 sent. Mr. Thayer's T: : . is very dehcient in head and 

 ears, but is fairly jj;* ■ ■ ly. legs and feet. Niua never 

 had a good head," but it is growing out of iill proportion and 

 she should be relegated to the stud. Her body, legs and feet 

 should have earned for her a card. Pigeon is faultiyin head, 

 carriage of ears, expression and in feet, added to which she 

 does not st.ar.d very well in front. Special is faulty in head, 

 ears and shoulders and lacks character. Pearl is a weedy, 

 Buipy, scanty-coated specbnen, and Mr. IMorrell must 

 endeavor to proctire something better looking if he intends 

 to compete successfully at dog shoAvs. Mr. Ferguson's Floss 

 has wretched head, shoulders, 1 egs and feet, and is not a 

 show dog. Bijou and Richmond Jewel should assume the 

 duties of family cat. Fanny is deficient in head, eyes, 

 shoulders, legs and feet, the only redeeming feature being 

 her small ears. Queen is seen to advantage on the bench. 

 She has gro%vn very wide in front, does not stand well on ber 

 forelegs, and is faulty in feet, heavy in ears and rather soft 

 in coat. 



There were ten entries in the class for dog puppies, and 

 Luke, by Mixture— Lyra, scored rather an easy win. He is 

 a fairly good puppy, but not a crack by any means. He is 

 round in skull, rather heavy in ears, a bit long cast, faulty 

 in stifles and not as good as he should be in feet. Raby 

 Tyrant II,, highly commended in the open class, was second. 

 Bri,stle, third prize, is deficient in heaa and expression, and 

 does not stand well in front. We thought he pressed Raby 

 Tyrant II. uncomfortably close for .second place. Richmond 

 Tyrant,_vhe and reserA^e, is faulty in head, ears and expres- 

 sion. \illain, e, Ave thou.tiht hardly AAWth a card. He is 

 veiw weedy, and is le.ggy, soft in coat, faulty in head, eyes 

 and ears and light in iiasterns. Clover Trim, from the 

 Clovernook Kennel, is underhung and not good either in 

 head, legs or feet, Clover Plot, from the same kennel, is 

 apple-headed and faulty in legs and feet. He was purchased 

 'by Mr. Tallinan, and .should prove a success in scaring the 

 mice from that gentleman's pantry; he may not, however, 

 bake so kindly to haAdug his tail pulled or ears pinned to- 

 gether. Dancer is not appropriately named, as his legs and 

 feet are A'ery poor and he is Aveedy and faulty in head and 

 Goat. Blemton Echo, from the same kennels, possesses no 

 claims to shoAA' form. Fox is a A'ery funny looMng dog, and 

 Biust have found his Avay into the class by mistake. 



There Avere ten entries in the class for the opposite sex, and 

 the quality AA^as a trifle better. Pluck, just a fair specimen, 

 was aAvarded first, but AA^as closely pres.sed by Meersbrook Nan, 

 who Avas in much better condition and is not so leggy. The 

 latter is faulty in head, not quite right in back, stands too 

 high, is light in bone and not particularly good in feet. Nan 

 is rather soft and long in coat, and is not good either in skull 

 or expression, albeit a fairly good bitch and above average. 

 Saucy, third prize, was fourth in the open class, and Leda, 

 he., Avas also he in the open class. Peach Blossom, Frisky 

 and Mr. Raymond Belmont's unnamed one will not develop 

 into future AAinners. 



There Avere only four wire-haired specimens in three classes, 

 and they such a wretched lot that Mr. Redmond suggested 

 AVithholding the prizes, but the management told him to 

 award them, and so the fortunate OA\mers had the satisfac- 

 tion of taking considerable more money in prizes than the 

 dogs are Avortn. There Avere four entries in the veteran class, 

 and Old Royal, in gi'eat form, faiiij^ smothered his opponents. 

 Jeopardy was second best; her head is passable, but she is 

 very Avide in front and sadly deficient in legs and feet. Tip 

 is faulty in head, ears, legs, feet and coat, Jersey is a weedy, 

 poor-headed specimen. 



Most of the tAventy entries in the novice class were entered 

 in other classes. Pluck, first prize, Avas first in the bitch 

 puppy class, and Meersbrook Nan, second prize, was also 

 second in the puppy class. Luke, third prize, Avas first in the 

 dog puppy class. Chance, he, and Leda, he, held similar 

 positions in the open bitch cla.ss. SulTolk Dandy, shoAAui by 

 Mr. Mortimer, is not a shoAV dog, being too big and leggy, 

 not straight in frout^ and faulty in feet; he also shows little 

 character. Trap and Ply, exhibited by Miss Edith Cushing, 

 are altogether dcA^d of terrier character, and Cinders, 

 shown by Mr. Hoey, will never make a shoAv dog, although 

 there runs througli his veins some of the best terrier blood in 

 the country. He is faulty in head, body, shoulder.s, feet and 

 coat. Grip, entered as a white dog, is a brindle and white of 

 the Bill Sykes order; he did not strike us as being either a 

 fox-terrier or a Newport dog. Janette Avas the last, to claim 

 our attention; a pretty little chocolate and white dog Avith 

 most lady-like manners, graceful in every movement, fine in 

 bone and soft as silk in coat; large and full in eyes and en- 

 dowed Avith a most bewitching look; a lovely specimen, a 

 society dog, but not a terrier. 



SPECIAL PRIZES. 



Meersbrook Nan, bred and owned by Mr. Thayer, won Mr. 

 Redmond's cup for the best fox-terrier under 13 months of 

 age, bred in America. She is by Meersbrook Ross and out of 

 the well knoAvn English Avinner Meersbrook Model. Mr. 

 Thayer also won the Kelly cup (value -?1.50) for best fox-ter- 

 rier over 12 months, bred in America, his exhibit for this 

 prize being Raby Jack. Valet took the Hoey cup (value $100) 

 for the best fox-terrier in the show as Avell as the W. K. C. 

 cup (value for best fox-terrier dog. The cup (value §25) 

 for best fox-terrier bitch in the shoAv went to Mr. Belmont's 

 recent purchase Safety, and she and Bacchanal had no trouble 

 in Avinning the cup (A^alue S3.5) for best brace of fox-terriers 

 (dog and bitch) in the shoAV. The kennel prize to consist of 

 jiot less than four Avas won by Messrs. Kelly and Hoey, Avho 



showed for it Valet, Shovel, Stableford Joe and Ea,rl Leycea- 

 ter. Unfortunately for Mr. Belmont he could not exhibit 

 Diadem. Her absence from the team certainly cost him the 

 prize. The cup (value offered by the club for best fox- 

 terrier in the show un<lcr 13 months was won by Pluck, and 

 the club's prize of i^r)0 for best litter Avent to Mr. Belmont, 

 who .showed the best lot of puppies we have seen in this 

 country. They are by Bacchanal out of Blemton Arrow, 

 she by Royai out of Blemton Dust. Mr. EdAvard Kelly's 

 prize (value $2-5) for best fox-terrier exhibited by a lady Avas 

 won by Trap. We regret to say that the prize is of greater 

 A'alue than the do.g. The prize (value $2.5) for be.st Avire- 

 haired terrier Avas won by Phjuie, and here again is the prize 

 worth consider a Idy more than the dog that Avon it. Follow- 

 is a complete list of the

THE COVINGTON DOG SHOW. 



CdNCINNATI, O., Aug. SO.— Editor Forest aiul Stream: 

 I Tlie flrst annual dog shoAV of the Latonia Agricultural 

 Association was held at Covington, Ky., Aug. 24 to 27. 

 There were 17.5 entries and only nine absentees. The shoAV 

 was very weU managed and talien altogether would compare 

 favorably Avith some of the larger .suoavs. Major J. M. 

 Taylor of Cleveland, O., judged the pointers, setters, fox- 

 hounds and beagles, and Mr. Geo. H. Hill or Madeira, O., 

 the remaining classes. So far as I Avas able to learn, the 

 judging gave general satisfaction. lAvas informed that the 

 Association Avill give a show next year Avith a greater num- 

 ber of classes and larger premiums. Should they do so they 

 Avill doubtless receive the hearty support of exhibitors.

THE NATIONAL FIELD TRIALS. 



Editor Forest and Stream: 



The eighth annual field trials of the National Field Trials 

 Club commence at Grand .Junction, Tenn., Dec. 6. First 

 comes the All- Age Stake for setters and pointers, for |750 

 divided equally between first, second and third— -SBoO to each. 

 Next the Amei'ican Derby, and after it the Champion Stake, 

 Avhich will be a SAvcepstake for the Avinncr of first of any All- 

 Age stake, including the All-Age Stake of these trials. To 

 the AAunner Avill go the entrance money and .?100 added by 

 the club. If only one entry qualifies, the dog gets the stake; 

 if more than one starts, the stake cannot be diAdded, but 

 must be run to a finish. The entries for the All-Age and 

 Champion Stakes close Nov. 1, except to winners of 1886, 

 Avho must qualify the night previous to the race. All com- 

 munications should be addressed to B. M. Stephenson, Sec- 

 retary, La Grange, Tenn. ^ 



THE PUP AND THE PARROT.— Dr. Von Bremen of the 

 east side is a very good Aring-shot. Recently, in anticipation 

 of the fall's shooting, he bought a promising pointer pup, 

 Avhich he began training. The Doctor never makes himself 

 a present Avithout remembering Mrs. Von Bremen. When 

 he bought the pup for himself he bought a parrot for his 

 Avif e. The pup Avas already trained to obedience, and the in- 

 stinct i)eculiar to his breed was .strong A^dthin him. The 

 parrot is of a lively, and loquacious disposition, and was a 

 fluent talker when she arrived at the residence of the Von 

 Bremens. StraightAvay upon her arriA^al she announced that 

 her name Avas Loretta, and that the rest of the household 

 could go — below purgatory. The housemaid was ordered to 

 set her cage on the rear extension Avindow sill. In the course 

 of the day the pointer pup found his way into the room 

 Avhere the cage stood, and he instantly located the bird. 

 With noiseless step he api^roached within a f cav yards of the 

 cage, and then became rigid in a beautiful pointing attitude. 

 The parrot watched him intently for a moment and then 

 sang out loud and clear, '"Ah there!" The eS:ect on the dog 

 Avas paralyzing. He ceased pointing, di-opped to a sitting 

 posture, and gaA^e Avay to his bewilderment. "Stay there!'' 

 came in a gruft" and commanding tone from the parrot's 

 cage. The pup had been severely trained and he feared to 

 disobey. His head dropped between his forelegs, and in an at- 

 titude 'of utter dejection he awaited further commands. The 

 doctor had been looking on from the halhvay, and when he 

 entered the room the parrot was reviling the pup in a 

 mixture of English and bpanish, and the pup was grovelling 

 in the rug, but afraid to run aAvay. Whether the pup can 

 ever be induced to again point at a feathered creature is a 

 question in the Doctor's mind. The pup is now daily exer- 

 cising his characteristic instinct by pointing at a small cat 

 that lives in the back yard, and which, by cautious experi- 

 ment, he foimd to be speechless and inonensive. — New xorlc

ST. JOHNS DOG SROW— Editor Forest and Stream: 

 Most all arrangements for our approaching bench show of 

 dogs are uoaa'' completed, and we nave the assurance of a 

 large number of intending exhibitors that they are going to

 OAvners or care-takers. All dogs Avill be fed free on Spratts 

 dog food, the managers aat.11 send a competent person who 

 Avill attend to this matter and under Avhose direct super- 

 Adsion the feeding Avill be done. The premium lists Avill be 

 ready in a fcAv days and I will forward them AAdth other in- 

 formation which may be desired. The special premium list 

 is very liberal, we expect to make larger additions to it, The 

 entries Avill close Oct. 9. With the unlimited space in the 

 building the club has secured for the purpose of holding the 

 .show in, it AAdll be next, to impo.ssible to oA'ercrowd it. The 

 weather here on the dates of our show is ahvays A'ery pleas- 

 ant. We hope to have a large number of visitors and exhib- 

 itors from the United States and will promise to make their
