above the average as exhibited in this country. She has fair 

 length of bodj-- and a coat that nearer approaches the stand- 

 ard than others in the class. The second prize winner, Lady 

 Kate, is not good in head or ears. Moiikey has poor head 

 and ears and is short of coat. Lou is altogether too .soft in 

 coat for a Skye and shows a Yorkshire cross. 



Charlie, the champion Yorkshire, is deiicient in color and 

 quality of coat. The other Charlie, winner in the open class, 

 has good quality of coat, hut there is not enough of it. His 

 back color is very good, but the tan is not dark enough. Tug, 

 second prize, is too short and fluffy in coat, which is not of 

 good color. Bradford Liill scored an easy win in the bitch 

 class and was much the best Yorkshire in the show. Her 

 back color is good, but the tan on head and legs is too light 

 and she is rather short, in coat, Biddy, second prize, has 

 more coat than the wijmer, but is not so good in color. Mol- 

 lie is sliort in coat and has a poor head. 



I ordered the Irish terriers, or, r.ather, supposed Irish tei-- 

 riers, out of the ring and disqualified the lot of them. They 

 were simply a lot of brindle, underh ung mongrels. The un- 

 fortunate owners had been infonned at previotrs shows that 

 they owned really good dogs— dogs that could hold their 

 owii in any company. After they had procured the standard 

 to satisfy tliemselves that they had been deceived, and that 

 their exhiliits ATere not eligible for competition at any show, 

 they became loud in their denunciation of the parties who 

 had thus misled them. Iu.stead of wasting their time and 

 money, how much better would it have been for the judges 

 in qiiestion to have told these men that they undertook to 

 judge anything and everything, but that they had never seen 

 a good Iri.sh terrier, and consequently could not tell them 

 whether their dogs were good or bad. That would have 

 been the sti'aightforward course to pursue. 



PUGS. 



Young Toby and Thunder were the best of the entries in 

 these classes, Tliey are both of them well-known to most of 

 your readers. I gave the special to Toby, who is better in 

 mask than his kennel companion. The bitches and the pup- 

 pies were a very poov lot and call for no comment.

THE STAFFORD DOG SHOW. 



[Special Report,] 



>HE third annual dog show of the Stafford Kennel Club 

 ^ was held Oct. 13 and 14, at Staiford Springs, Conn., 

 in connection with the fair of the Stafford Agricultural So- 

 ciety. There were about 100 dogs sho^vn, many of them 

 from the best kennels in the countiy. The quality of the 

 animals was much above the average of previous sho\vs held 

 by the club. The dogs were benched in a large tent and 

 were well cared for by Mr, Tallman, who had charge of the 

 feeding. There Avas no extra charge for admission and the 

 tent was constantly thronged Avith visitors. The society 

 will erect a suitable building for future shows and it is the 

 intention of the club to give liberal prizes next year and 

 place their show in the front rank. Mr. Wm. Tallman, of 

 Tarry town, N, Y., judged the sporting and Dr. George 

 Walton, of Boston, the non-sporting classes. Below is a list 

 of the

POINTS ON BREEDING. 



THE characters of the parents at the time of conception 

 are inherited by the offspring. The bones, the muscles, 

 and the powers of endurance, the habits, the predispositions 

 and temperaments, are all reproduced in the offspring, with- 

 out essential change in their characteristics. \\ hile appar- 

 ently there are exceptions to this law, a carcftil examination 

 of the facts will show the transmission of every feature of 

 the organization, and that the apparent exceptions are the 

 result of the predominant influence of other laws, that obscure 

 the hereditary tendencies for the time being, without wholly 

 suppressing them. 



In intelligent breeding we take advantage of the transmis- 

 sion of certain family jiecxilarities, by selecting animals 



Eossessing the slight variation we Avish to perpetuate, and 

 reeding them together. This systematic reproduction of 

 desired "points" must be persistently continued until the 

 improvement is considered permanent. Even then these 

 artificial characteristics are difhcult to retain, owing to the 

 tendency to "throw back" or, as Mr. Darwin calls it, 

 "reversion." He gives us an interesting examiile in "Ani- 

 mals and Plants under Domestication.'' "A pointer bitch 

 produced seven puppies. Four were marked with blue and 

 white, which is so unusual a color with pointers that .she 

 was thought to have played false with one ot the greyhounds, 

 and the whole litter was condemned, but the gamekeeper 

 waspermitted to keep one as a curiosity. 



"Two years afterward a friend of the owner saw the young 

 dog and declared that he was the image of his old pointer 

 bitch, Sappho, the only blue-and-white ijointer of pure 

 descent which he had ever seen. This led to close inquiry, 

 and it was proved that he was the great-great-grandson 6i 

 Sappho, so that, according to the common expression, he had 

 only one-sixth of her blood in his veins." 



Many breeders will not understand that the greatest per- 

 fection in the individual will not compensate for ancestral 

 defects. They must always have the most prominent ijrize 

 winners to serve their bitches, r^ardless of the defects 

 either or both animals possses. The sire should alway be 

 selected to correct the defects in the bitch, and it is only 

 after practicing this system of selection for years that prize 

 winning dogs can be produced. 



Owing to confinement and other causes the large majority 

 of the mastiffs of to-day are weak in loins and legs, in fact 

 are cripples. Light-boned, attenuated limbs are transmitted 

 with as much certainty as a short nose or -RTinkled forehead. 

 Ribot on "Heredity" gives many examples which bear me 

 out in this statement. He also furnishes examples of the 

 hereditai-y transmission of muscular power, for example: 

 "In ancient times there were families of athletes, and there 

 have been families of prize-fighters. The recent researches 

 of Galton as to wrestlers and oarsmen show that the victors 

 generally belong to a small number of families among whom 

 stren^h and skill are hereditary." On the authority of 

 Darwin: "It is now generally understood that longevity de- 

 pends far less on race, climate, profession, mode of life, or 

 food, than on hereditary transmission," The tendency to 

 lay on fat of certain meat-producing breeds of animals is 

 hereditary, And so we could go on, taking up each char- 

 acteristic and pro-vdng by examples it is invariably transmit- 

 ted from parent to offspring. 



I would like to ask why breeders of dogs ignore these first 

 principles of breeding? Our breeders of live stock understand 

 them, and have greatly profited thereby. The great desire to 

 breed to bench show winners, and the constant demand for 

 whelps by them, has a demoralizing effect upon canine 

 breeders who are tempted to raise pujis that meet the most 

 ready sale; that they axe good for nothing, weedy specimens 

 matters not, the purchaser wants an animal with a fashion- 

 able pedigi-ee, and his desire being supplied, he is satisfied. 



Our clubs, devoted to particular lireeds, will do a great 

 deal of good by establishing produce stakes. They vAll en- 

 coiu'age the conscientious breeder, and at the same time 

 promote the interest of the various breeds of dogs that are 

 fortunate enough to have a club attached to their welfare, 

 and the time is approaching when each breed will have its 

 club. The American Fox-Terrier Club is leading the wavin 

 handsome style, the American English Beagle Club has 

 proven its earnestness by a great deal of hard work and with 

 corresponding success, the Collie Club shows it means busi- 

 ness by establishing a sweepstake as soon as it became a 

 club. The American members of the Old English Mastiff 

 Club vnll not be far bebind; as soon as the rules of the parent 

 organization are arranged to suit otu" requirements we 

 will show that we have not organized to die of "dry rot." 

 (Query— Where is the American Mastiff" Club?) 



It is a fact that we are learning fast, and I have no doubt 

 we soon ^vill be aide to send to the other side world-beaters 

 in certain breeds of dogs, and that too in a very few years.

FOX HUNTING AND FOX HUNTERS. 



'■pHERE seems to be a wide difference of opinion among 

 JL the devotees of the chase as to what constitutes legiti- 

 mate sport and as to the proper manner in which .slyreynard 

 should he hunted. Between the homespun-clad, quaint old 

 "Leatherstocking," who, with old Brown Bess careles.sly 

 thrown over his shoulder, threads his way through the 

 tangled forests or roams over the rough hills of New Eng- 

 land, with his half hound, half something else, but all dog, 

 for his sole companion, and the scarlet and gold-bedizened 

 lord, who, astride Ms well-conditioned hunter, with a regi- 

 ment of faultlessly gotten up companions, follows the blue- 

 blooded Belvoir over the brown fallows and bright green- 

 sward of old Leicestershire, there is a great and impassable 

 gulf. For the former to follow the line across oiu* rough 

 country upon the best mount in all England would be as im- 

 possible as foolhardy. Were he, however, a native of the 

 "bright little, tight little isle," the proprietor of abroad 

 domain and with plenty of L. s. d., I will warrant that his 

 bright scarlet coat would be seen at many a meet, and that 

 his goodly htmter would often be found well up at the finish 

 of heart-breaking burst. Not less surely would my noble 

 lord be found roaming over our beautiful hills and through 

 our dense forests, with old Brown Bess across his shoulder, 

 his beloved dog his only companion, were he a dweller in the 

 lowly cabin upon the hillside, with but few sterile acres for 

 his portion. I am writing only of him who hath "music in 

 his soul," to whose ears comes as .sweetest melody faintest 

 challenge of questing hound; to whose soul comes as mo.st 

 glorious music the eager cry of swift pursuit. It would, in 

 truth, be an unpardonable crime were Leatherstocking to 

 unUmber old Brown Bess at reynard in "Merrie Eng- 

 land," and no one is more sensible of this than him- 

 self. Ever true to the instinct of a sportsman, he 

 venerates and upholds the traditions of the fathers and 

 can be safely trusted to violate none of the proprieties. In 

 condemning the methods of "Leatherstocking," my lord, 

 unA\dttingly, perhaps, does great injustice to a worthy 

 brother sportsman. Amid the dense tangled thickets, 

 impenetrable swamps and rough hillsides that surround his 

 home, the truest, fleetest pack in all England cotxld rarely 

 sight and almost never run into their cxuarry even when 

 jumped at close quarters, but a fair start, however, is not 

 the rule. Sly reynard knows well the value of a good lead, 

 and when he seeks his couch he craftily trots along, down, 

 wind, a suitable distance, and serenely confident, lies down 

 to repose. Both ears are open, however, and at the first 

 faint whimper of his dreaded foes, perhaps a good mile away, 

 he shakes himself together and at his best speed makes for 

 some rocky hillside or almost impenetrable swamp, where, 

 with innumerable tricks and doublings, he puzzles his pur- 

 suers and more than holds his own. How long would the 

 magnificent hounds, the pride of England, keep up to form 

 witli work like this? For how many generations would they 

 cheer the heart of the hunter Avith their tuneful notes and in- 

 domitable pluck, without a single kill or taste of blood to 

 re-ward and encourage them for gallant struggles through 

 thorny thicket and painful steps over merciless flint? None 

 know better than both my lord and "Leatherstocking" that 

 .such an encouragement is an indispensable factor^in the 

 education of their pets and both, although by different 

 methods, accomplish the desired result. There .should be, 

 therefore, between the two, a sympathy of feeling, or at 

 least a toleration of opinion that would lead each to regard 

 the practices of the other as not entirely without the pale of 

 ethics that should govern the actions o'l all worthy members 

 of an ancient and honorable guild. Shadow.
