alone in the bitch class. She was in elegai^t. form. Hei: 

 keeper informed us that she was two ponnrls lighter than 

 when at Newport, and in con.sequence was lookint;- innch bet- 

 ter, She beat Valet for tlicMn'ize for the best in tlu' show. 

 It is due to Valet to state that when this special was judged 

 he was looking very badly, having broken out during the 

 night with sores on liis bai-k and was i n no eondition to 

 compete. lie won in the open dog class ii.nd was then look- 

 ing well. Bacchanal, placed second, was looking fairly well. 

 Shovel, third, was well shown, us were Earl J^ycester and 

 Raby Jack, both vhe. Rabj^ Tyrant II., he, was too thin. 

 Lythern Ben, c, is faulty in head, feet and coat. Regent 

 Vox and Stableford Joe* were absent. In the bitch class 

 Safety, looking well, scored another win, Marguerite, not 

 at her best, was placed second, third going to Raby Belle, 

 well shown. Diadem was in very bad condition and was 

 not noticed. Nina was absent. All of the pupiiies were at 

 Newport with the exception of Jersey Trix, who received a 

 c. She is snipy and light of bone. 



BL.^CK ASsD TAN TERRIEKS— (MR. MORTIMER). 



Queen, looking well, won in this class. Jet, winner of 

 second, is a very promising puppy with good markings, coat 

 and coloi" a Int full in eyes and a trifle round in skull, but 

 will be heard fi-om again "if nothing happens. Victor, he,, is 

 .strong in head, cheeky and carries his tail Ijadly. 



TEHIUERS— (ME. MORTUtKR). 



In Irish and rough-haired terriers, Erin, entered as Arion, 

 won lir.st. She was looking fairly well. My, the only other 

 entry, was given second; not so good in head, legs or feet as 

 the winner. Only one Bedlington was shown, Zulu. Slie is 

 ■too low on her legs and not very good in head. She was en- 

 tered as bred by Mr. Mortimer. This is a mistake as she was 

 imported. In Skyes, Tanzie, all out of coat, won first, l^ady 

 Kate, mnner of second, is the better bitch and should have 

 won. She is a fair bitch, a little off in bead. In toys, first 

 was withheld and second given to Nellie, a nice little bitch 

 of no particular breed. 



TOT SPANIELS— (MR. MORTIMER). 

 Roscius was an easy winner in King Charles spaniels, sec- 

 ond going to Princess, not good in face markings and bad in 

 front. Gipsey, vhc, is faulty in muzzle and skull and light 

 in limljs. Spark, he, is a Prince Charles. King Victoi' and 

 King Pippin, looking well, were the only Blenheims shown. 

 The Yorkshire terriers were a poor lot. Lancashire. Star, 

 the winner, is short of coat and not good in color on head 

 and legs. The others noticed wei*e a moderate lot of pup- 

 pies. 



MISCELLANEOUS CLASS— (MB. MASON). 

 Marco, the winner in the class for large dogs, is a fairly- 

 good Leonberg of good .size, with straight limbs. He is not 

 massive enough. The only entry in the small class was a 

 poor Mexican hairless, not quite hairless and faulty in head. 

 With the exception of the Irish setter puf)pies in the selling 

 class, there was nothing worthy of notice. The puppies were 

 above the average. A li.st of tlie awards was published last 

 week. Follo^ving are the corrections and a list of the 

 specials: 



In smooth St. Bernard bitches Hospice Kennels' ApoUonia and 

 Hermitage Ivennels' Thisbe were both very high com. In txreat 

 Danes tlie prizes were wdthlield, L.Erb's Hector was high com. In 

 champion pointer dogs, small, Robin Adair won. In pointer pup- 

 pies Floyd Tail's Naso of Devonshire was very high com. In bull- 

 terrier bitches, under 251bs., F. F. Dole's Lady Tarquin was first 

 and White Violet was very high com. In the selling class two 

 equal fii'sts and very high com. were won by A. W. Peai'sall's Irish 

 setter puppies.

THE SAN FRANCISCO DOG SHOW. 



Editor Forest and Strea m - 

 In. response to your courteous request to give my opinion 

 and a few notes of the recent bencli show in this city, I beg 

 to say that my Federal duties and the presence here of the 

 National Encampment of the Grand Army of the Republic, 

 to which I was a delegate, have precluded an earlier compli- 

 ance therewith. Scnrcely has there l^een a minute at my 

 disposal and this is hurried otf in an unusual hour of idle- 

 ness. 



Our city and our State gave glorious welcome to the sold- 

 iers. They were here in thousands. Some still stalwart and 

 erect. Others wasted and worn, and crippled by cruel 

 wounds for "Old Glory's" sake. The shot-tom and tattered 

 banners they carried on that day of our great parade, made 

 many a pulse to leap and many atear springto eyes of'gentle 

 women and of manly men. The children of the schools made 

 the pathway of these veterans velvet with our garden flowers 

 as they iiassed. Every street was rainbowed with flags to 

 arch the marshal tread of those w^ho had done so much for 

 the Republic's life. It was a .spectacle which inspired and 

 instructed. The visit of these soldiers has clone lasting good. 

 It has made our people reflect. It has rekindled tlie fires of 

 patriotism. It lias created a grander love for our free insti- 

 tutions, and the principles of a free government and all that 

 good ' citizenship cherishes in an undivided country. Long 

 will it linger in California's book of remembrance. " 



First, before speaking of the bench show^, let me thank 

 your correspondent "Free Lance," who, in your journal of 

 July 9, so gallantly couched his skilful weapon in behalf of 

 my recently expressed opinions of m any canine classes here. 

 It was a generous letter and a truthful. Modestly may it be 

 recorded that not only did "Free Lance" agree 'with yoiu- 

 writer, but also did others whose experience and judgment 

 are worth consideration. "Free Lance" came into announce 

 himself to me just after your paper arrived His \^isor lifted, 

 I recognized one of our most respected citizens, whose grej^- 

 hounds have captui-ed many a trojdiy on the coursing held, 

 and whose .spotless honor is as well known as liis modesty is 

 proverbial. 



Take it all in all Mr. Editor, It never fell to my lot to look 



upon a poorer collection of dogs than were gatherd here for 

 iuspectioii last month. There were but tliree classes exhib- 

 ited in which appeared any represeirtat ives worthy of notice 

 or purchase by a critical ;judgo. Frankjicss compels me to 

 confess that 'the opinions written by your bumble servant 

 several months ago, were more than sustained. Inasmuch 

 as another correspondent from this vicinage was pi-omptod 

 by his giMitle spirit to differ with me, 1 beg to quote the fol- 

 lowing words from 1 lie Sa n Franci.sco TWixdcr nud. Sportfi- 

 iiian, an alile, iudepoiuleid., and honorably e'Cndnclcd jonriUHjl, 

 linked witli the Interests of the best horses, the be.st dogs, 

 plucky pastimes and high motives: "The non-sporting dogs, 

 of wdiich there Avere fifty shown in twenty-one classes, su.s- 

 taincd Col. Stuart Taylor in the opinion 1 bat the uon-spprt- 

 ing breeds have no first-class representative in California," 

 1 inclose the paper. Add to this the corroborative testimony 

 of the very excellent gentleman who came here to .Itidge, 

 and yon will discover that the undersigned did not exagger- 

 ate, or put the troth in masquerade. I wdll not repeat all 

 Mr. Davidson said to me and others. It was very emphatic 

 and indorses my views. A dozen or more, whose large hearts 

 incline them to love good, typii-ril dogs, and good children, 

 (for Idle mail who <lon't love the lii-st, is crnss to tlie house- 

 hold's d;n'lings), unite their voices in. eliortis with these. 

 Ycair leai-nc(l h:A'er of Latin whij chose such a broad-brimmed 

 name as "Vox Po]uili," over wliicli to chastise any one who 

 dared dispute the perfections of San Francisco's dog.s, had 

 not only frightened "lots of ns" witli the catalogue of indis- 

 cretion.s with which he charged us, but he had quite de- 

 pressed the it ndeivsigned. And 1 turned from grief to glad- 

 ness when, \vanderiDg about the .show, 1 heard a woman's 

 voice, whose music made the owner l)eautiful, say to her 



escort, "Why, Mr. , except that pointer Tom Pinch, and 



one or two more pointers and setters, and tba.t Itwely grey- 

 hound, and the dear little Yorkshire, there isn't a dog here 

 that paralyzes me." I looked at the siren who beguiled, and 

 thought of those lines in the "Beggar's Oiiera:'' 



"If the heart of a man be depressed with cares, 

 The mist is dispelled when a woman appears." 



I braced up again. Where was "Vox Populi?" In vain I 

 hunted him. I wanted to bring him face to face with this 

 dashing creature, who, although she may not have had ac- 

 curate knowledge of pedigrees and crossings, yet had eyes 

 for symmetry and form and color, which made her words 

 not despicable. She passed oinvard and away, and the frou- 

 frou of her frock made most exquisite uinsic for one who like 

 myself had been almost entirely defalgrated by that modest 

 man who signed liimself "the people's voice.'' ^Vnd so I 

 lived again. Come out from thy shell, oh "Vox Populi!" 

 and flaunt thy true flag now in the face of this observing 

 paragon of her sex, "ah' thou darest!" From the corridors 

 of thy long pedigree, the echoes of ancestral fame cry unto 

 thee "aloufL "be not ashamed of tliy baptismal name, oh! 

 'Vox' !" Methinks I know thee. Judge! 



The exhibition hall was not adapted to the purpose. It 

 was very dark. The judge had too little light on tlie judg- 

 ing platform. Dogs should be judged in the open air if pos- 

 sible, w'uere there is not only a strong light but plenty of 

 s])ace to walk, jump and run the competitors. They have 

 just as much right to elbow room and a chance to display 

 their points as have horses, or as have yachts to sea room. 

 How otlicrwise can one critically a,nalyze their forms, powers 

 or characteristics? I never did approve of cramped quarters 

 for a bench show. We should see mastifl's and St. Bernards 

 and all the larger classes, and especially the sporting breeds, 

 run as well as Svalkj so as to observe their movements in 

 front as well as behind. 



Mr. .lolm Davidson, who was engaged to come from the 

 East to judge, paid m^ the honor of a visit soon after his 

 arrival. I was glad to take him by the liand and "talk dog" 

 with him. For, indeed, it is gratifying to exchange opinions 

 with a man who does not live in a "rut and is not afraid to 

 step over the local fence. I found him an honest, affable, 

 impartial man, and a true lover of our canine companions. 

 Mr. Davidson confessed to several of our citizens that Avith 

 the exception of a few dogs in certain classes, ours exhibited 

 -were certainly lacking in quality. 



There were seveiity-tw o classes specified on the entry list. 

 Not all were represented. Let us take a few in their order: 



MASTIFFS. 



Only two were entered. Neither was a good specimen. 

 Both were faulty in shape of head, in ears, in muzzle and 

 general make-up. Their jaws were not square enough, muz- 

 zles to long, and both heads lacking totally in mastiff char- 

 acter. Their bodies were too light, especially^ about the 

 loins, where mastiffs should be strong, and hindquarters 

 deficient in bone^and muscle. The dog awarded second prize 

 was too small and his coat too rough. Both were inferior in 

 size, one weighing 1231bs., the other 110. A really good ma.s- 

 tiff dog ought to weigh not less thanl601bs., and the grander 

 and bigger he is the better. I mean he should be large- 

 boned and musculaTj built for strength and work. I cannot 

 consider any mastili up to the standard which stands less 

 than 31 or 32in. at shoulder and weighs loss than IGOlbs. If 

 we can produce dogs of this breed standing 33 and 3-lin. at 

 shoulder and weighing 2001bs. — massively formed and free 

 from cow hocks— so much the better. Neither of the dogs 

 referred to measured more than 29in. at shoulder, one of 

 them not that, and, deficient as they were in mastiff charac- 

 ter, never would have been noticed by our friend Mason, or 

 even by Mr. Davidson, in a class of mastiffs proper. In the 

 bitch class there was only one entry, and she was by no 

 means of true type, and too small. If the owners of either of 

 these could see some of the "cracks," they would not censure 

 Mr. Davidson or me for telling them the truth. It is useless 

 to find fault, however, with dogs here until a No. 1 specimen 

 arrives and we can place good and bad side by side. 



ULM, OR GEEAT DANE DOGS. 



In Great Danes there were three entries, so-called. Only 

 one was entitled to notice. The others were mongrels. The 

 winner of first was a blue Iritch t)f only medium size. Her 

 head was fairly typical, her ears wretchedly cropped. Body 

 strong, loins excellent, broad and deep, legs muscular and 

 not too long for body. Dogs of this breed are often cow- 

 hocked. She was not. I suspect a little cross somewhere. 

 She was shown too fat and lacked character and stature. 

 Great Danes (sometimes erroneously called Siberian blood- 

 hounds) should never be permitted to make flesh, so as to im- 

 pede activity. They should be lithe and agile, ready to do 

 a,nd dare for a man's life. And the males should stand not less 

 than 31 or 33in. at shoulder, females not less 29in. I saw two 

 or three grand specimens in Europe, in 1881. One at Vevey, 

 Switzerland, was a nondescript animal, 33in. at shoulder. 

 One brindled beauty in Vieuna stood 34in. easy mea.surement 

 under the standard. H.g was active as i\ tiger. In fact he 

 was almost as beautiful as the jungle's king. His ma.ster, 

 by a mere motion of his hand, made him clear a light pole 

 placed on two uprights, .5ft. 6in. from tlie ground. He swam 

 like a seal. The courteous gentleman was very proud of this 

 grand fellow, and refused to let me take him from his Atrs- 

 trian home. Why don't we breed more of these splendid 

 creatirres? Not the kind the butcirers and breweries in the 

 East generally own, but the real typical G reat Danes. When 

 well reared and trained, they are not savage, and are worthy 

 ornaments of country homes. 



To return to our bench show, the other specimens of the 

 breed here were wretched. Prizes should ha.ve been Avitli- 

 held. 1 may be too strict in my notions, but it seems to me, 

 when a (.log does not comply^ with the standard in any resiaect, 

 he should be set aside or judged in the miscellaneous class. 

 This is the only way for a judge to instruct exhibitors as to 

 form and quality. 



ST. BERXABDS. 



In the St. Bernard class three mongrels were entered. 



Here Mr. Davis was fra.id< enough to state that not one was 

 a St. Bernard. He protested against giving any prize, but 

 told me when I asked Irim how he could possibly award any 

 of tliesedogs aiibbon, that the superintendent, Mr. Leavesly, 

 b;id j-i'(piesfed him to malce awards. This was clearly wrong. 

 No superintendent or manager has the faintest right to in- 

 terfere with a judge or tell hini to bestow prizes on unworthy 

 nniraals. If that official states that the dogs shown in a 

 certain (Vlass do not represent the breed the collars should 

 remain tuidecorated. The superintendent goes out of his way 

 to even ofl'er a suggestion, and the judge should stoutly^ de- 

 cline to comply with any . Why give a mongrel a badge of 

 merit? Can we by doin.g so teach owners that their do.gs are 

 faulty? In this instance a first prize was given to a fair- 

 sized (by no means iarge) Idaclc aiiel white dog named Ben, 

 \sith not one single attribute of a St. Bernard,"" In a country 

 show in. England, out of good nature, a judge might award 

 such a dog he., as a moderate form of Landseer Newfound- 

 land. His head wa.s .somewhat like the head of that breed. 

 Ite was .simply one of the cross-bred dogswensc<l to see 

 yeai-s ago, misnamed Newfoundlands. Doubtless he was in- 

 telligent and loved by his owner. But for all that he was a 

 mongrel and should have been placed in a. miscellaneous class. 

 Who ever saw a black and white St. Bernard? Even the 

 purely white are vary rare. I believe the famous Hospice 

 w;;s ail white. Now the owner of "St. Bernard Ben," as 

 this California dog is called, imagines he owns a St. Bernard. 

 There is npt one in this city. 



lirEWFOTJOT)LANDS. 

 Nor is there a Newfoundland here. In that class two, so- 

 called, were .shown. One was only a big dog. Prizes wave 

 avN-arded, but .should have been itindly but firmly refused. 

 Only one bitch was .shov.m. She was Itetter than the dogs, 

 bid: far from ty]ncal. If the gentlenu^n wlio own these could 

 have seen old Mayor of Bin.gley or Ijco in their palmy days 

 they would know how far their dogs are from being true 

 Newfoundlands, and would not feel hurt by this opinion. 

 Mr. Davidson's heart, which naturally lieats with generosity 

 and kindness, prompted him to award prizes at the superin- 

 tendent's suggestion to these larger do.gs; but what is the 

 result? No benefit effected The same faults in form and 

 quality will be perpetuated in breeding. Owners, jolly and 

 glad to have walked off with honors and ribbons, will put 

 their fingers to their olfactory organs and laugh at those 

 who, in no unkind spirit, are liold enough and have knowl- 

 edge enough to tell them the truth. My good friend the 

 .superintendent should never have suggested awarding first 

 favors to inferior dogs, and my other esteemed friend, David- 

 son, judge, ought never to have let his kindness kill his con- 

 science. Wo are fonniug a new kennel club now, and it's a 

 horse against a hairpin that no superintendent or 'its bench 

 show will ever be allowed to "run the thing" that Avay. 



GREYHOUNDS. 



strange to say, in the greyhound dog class there was but 

 one entry. This was the big, little red dog Tullamore, a 

 really good specimen of the modern courser. His chief fault 

 is that he is a trifie under size. Aside from this, a better 

 made, stronger-bodied, grander-limbed, more typical grey- 

 hound it vi'ill be hard to find. We have a very few dogs 

 here more "taking" to the eyes. It is true he has "his faults. 

 His neck is a little short, if we are guided by the old rule 

 that tfie greyhound's neck should be like that of the drake. 

 But it is wonderfully muscular, and not a bull neck. He is 

 c[uick to kill and has won several courses here. He also has 

 been beaten by larger dogs. His back is a trifle short, per- 

 haps, measured froui the setting of the neck on the shoulders 

 to the last rib, but it seems as strong as iron. His back 

 ribs are very deep and well spread, the loins broad and 

 mas.sive; his hindquarters all to be desired; stifles superbly 

 developed. Greyhound men say there are dogs here which 

 can leave him behind in a good ran over a nice long stretch 

 of ground, such as w-e have on the plains near Modesto, 

 But, with the exception that he is a very small dog, I like 

 him as well as any greyhound I ever saw in this country, 

 next to Memnon, Mother Demdike, Friday Night, or old 

 Speculation that was so famous in California a few years 

 ago. His tail is just as good as his head, and with many 

 greyhounds here this is not the case. And some of our best 

 greyhounds have that abomination to my %T.sion, prick ears. 

 A greyhound's ears .should be small and fall gxacefully. 

 There "were certain reasons why in this city and State, where 

 so many good greyhounds are owned and coursing is so 

 popular, there were not more enti-ies in this class. It is not 

 my place to give them. Only two bitches were shown in 

 their clas,s — fair specimens. Suffice it to say that great sur- 

 prise was manifested by the judge that so few greyhounds 

 appeared. But let om- Eastern friends send their flying 

 beauties here, and they will find large, swift hares (larger 

 and swifter than the English), grand cour.sing ground, and a 

 great many marvelously speedy dogs. Let them come to 

 race, and they will find added to all this a warmth of wel- 

 come, hearty as "our climate is gloidous. " 



FOXHOUNDS. 



Tlie foxhound dog class was A^a-etched. Not one deserved 

 a notice. All were defective in head, in ears, and in quality, 

 showing generous crosses. A fair bitch was shovra, taut in a 

 really good class she Avould not be mentioned. 



POINTERS. 



In the larger class there was one dog, Tom Pinch, by 

 Wise's Tom— Beulah, which was a very good specimen of the 

 modern type of his breed. His head is not quite what it 

 ought to be, lacking as it is, somewhat in character. His 

 neck is good, body good, tail fair, not carried quite as straight 

 as I like. He is rather leggy and light in bone, but take him 

 all in all he is a clean cut, "taking" dog. If Beaufort and 

 Tom Pinch were side by side, and I weva judging, without a 

 moment's hesitation the blue riblion would decorate the 

 former, He is a more mu.scular dog, with better loins, and 

 looks as if he would last longer afield. Tom Pinch has a 

 good deep chest, but might have more depth in the back 

 ribs. He is doubtless a fast dog and a pointer, but I do not 

 enthuse over him, only as he appeared better than any 

 shown in same class. The judge spoke very kindly of mcst; 

 of those in this class. I cannot (jnite agree with him. They 

 were to my eyes only a fair lot. Each had some glaring 

 fault and a tendency to fo.xhound or sickle tail. In several 

 the head Avas woefully deficient in occipital development, not 

 broad enough and lacking in furiwv, and the nose was too 

 pointed. In others the lips were too long or had too much 

 flew. I may seem hypercritical, but not one of those was to 

 me the fulfilment of my ideas of -svhat a pointer proper should 

 be. And I always will maintain, there were grander, more, 

 typical pointers twenty y^ears ago than now. It is true they 

 were hea"\der made, but they showed more muscle, more 

 quality, more style. I don't care a penny for your long- 

 nosed, slim-bodied, hound-tailed pointer. Give me more 

 character and less speed. The famous old dog Don, owned 

 bj" Mr. Vandevort, was .shown. He is, 1 am told, a grand 

 field dog, but he certainly is not a bench show dog.' 



Tom Pinch, winner in the large class, is a lemon ticked 

 dog. My sense of color (very defective it may be) does not 

 permit me to fall in love with lemon ticks. If I were a man. 

 of wealth, owning a largo kennel, never would lemon and 

 white pointers be bred therein. This color has to me a 

 measly, wishy-wa.shy look, like the faded calico frock of a 

 freckle-faced chambermaid in a third class country tavern, 

 where ornamental fly-paper hangs over the soiled table cloth. 

 The first i)ointer of any fame 1 ever saw to show this marlc- 

 iiig WHS Sensation; and this color, together Avith his faults,
