NEW YORK DOG LAW. 



TORONTO, Canada.— JEJd'tior Forest and Stream.: The 

 Evenmg Telegram of this city says: "The dog nuisance 

 is becoming unbearable in Toronto and should at once be 

 attended to. Objectionable scenes in the streets by day and 

 horrid bowlings at night are too prevalent to be tolerated 

 any longer. There is no city so cursed with dogs and curs 

 as in Toronto. In New York dogs are not allowed on the 

 .streets at all, unless their owners are tied to them by a chain 

 or rope. ^ The law appears to dread the owmer as much as the 

 dog. We must do iilie same here. Taxes appear to have no 

 effect in decreasing the number of these hi-utes. for half of 

 them have no taxes paid on them at all, while the other half 

 are owned by people who would have a dog if they had to go 

 without their meals in order to pay for it. Let these good 

 people have their dogs, pay more taxes and keep their pets 

 at home. The increased taxes might decrease the noise at 

 night, by which noise many a weary sufferer is deprived of 

 necessary sleep, and the shotgun "or lasso would rid the 

 streets in the daytime of this insufferable nuisance. Let us 

 see whether the mayor or any of the aldermen has pluck 

 enough to tackle this subject and confer a favor upon the 

 city." 



Please advise me if thi.s dog-plagued editor is correct re- 

 garding the New York law. W. 



The New York city ordinance is a.s follows: 



"Hereafter it shall not be lawful to permit any dog to go 

 abroad loose or at large in any of the public streets, lanes, 

 alleys, highways, parks or places within the corporate limits 

 of the city of New York^ tinder a penalty of §3 for each 

 offense, to be recovered against the owner, possessor or person 

 who knowingly harbored such dog wnthin three days previ- 

 ous to the time of such dog being so found going around 

 loose or at large; and the Commis-sioners of Police are hereby 

 authorized and directed to cause complaint to be made to the 

 Corporation Attoi-ney against the owTier or possessor of every 

 dog permitted to go loose or at large within the corporate 

 limits, as aforesaid, for the recovery of the penalties pre- 

 scribed in this ordinance; such penalties and all license fees, 

 when collected, to be accounted for semi-monthly and paid 

 to the Comptroller of said city, and. upon the requisition of 

 the Mayor, to be applied towards the pa-,nnent of enforcing 

 the provisions of this ordinance. Nothing in this ordinance 

 .shall prevent any dog from going mto anv such street, lane, 

 alley, highway, park or public jjlace, provided such dog shall 

 be held by such owner or other person securelv by a cox-d or 

 chain, to be not more than four feet Ions;, fastened to a collar 

 around the neck of the animal. 



"The Mayor of the city of New York is hereby auchoiized 

 and empowered to take such measures as he may deem most 

 efficient to carry into eff ect the provisions of section 1 of this 

 ordinance. All dot^s foxxnd loose or at large, as aforesaid, 

 shall he seized, captm-ed and delivered tsy sneh persoas as 



the Mayor shall designate, at a place to be provided and in- 

 dicated by him, where such animals, if not within forty- 

 eight houi's thereafter claimed and redeemed by the owner 

 or some other person, shall be killed and destroyed in such 

 manner and by such persona as the Mayor shall designate. 



"Any owner or other person who may claim such dog shall, 

 before "beixxg placed in possesssion thereof, pay therefor the 

 sxim of Tlie provisions of this ordinance shall apply only 

 to dogs owned or claimed by residents of this city, and aixy 

 per.son who shall knowingly present any such dog, and clainx 

 payment for the capture thereof, which .shall ixot be owned 

 or captured within the corporate limits of this city, shall 

 thereiDy incur a penalty of SIO." 



HANDLERS' ASSOCIATION. 



^pHE annual meeting of The National Association of FixVld 

 JL Tiial Ha,ndlers was held at Grand .Tunction, Tenn., on 

 Saturday evening, Dec. 18. In the ab.sence of tlie i)resident 

 and %'ice-president, Dr. James N. Maclin. of Keeling, Tenn.. 

 was called to the chaii'. The minutes of tlxe last ixxeeting 

 were read and approved, and the report of tlxe treasurer, 

 showing a handsouxe balance, was accepted. The I'eixort of 

 the conunittec appointed to draft a coixstitutioix and by-laws 

 was accepted. Sevci-al members were elected. The coxn- 

 mittee appointed to xjonnuate officers for the ensuing year 

 reported the followii^ list, wliich was xxnaxiimously elected: 

 Presidexxt, D. E. Rose, La wrencebixx-gh, Tenn.; Vice-Presi- 

 deixt. H. H. Briggs, San Fraxicisco, Cal.; Secretary and 

 Treasurer. N. B. Nesbitt, Chesterville, Mi.ss.; Executive 

 Coixxnxittee, H. M. Shoi-t, Middleton, Tenn.; B. Waters, 

 Chicago, 111.; W. W. Titus, Montpelier, Miss.: J. M. Avent, 

 Hxckory Valley, Tenn.: S. T. Haxnxnond, New York. Mr. Rose 

 then took the chair, thankixig the association for the honor 

 confex'red. Charges having been jpreferred against Messi-s, 

 Stephexxson and Bevan for conspiring to defeat the dog 

 Ben Hill in his heat with IJllian, they were called upon 

 for their defense. Mr. Stephexxson made a straightforward 

 and pei'fectly fiank statement, entirely exonerating Mr. 

 Bevan andtakixxg all the responsibility for the act upon him- 

 self. He said that he entered Ben Ilill merely for the fuir- 

 po,se of sJiowing that hewasbi-okenand agood dug, altlxifiij>h 

 he did not think hinx good enough to win, axxd that be con- 

 sidered Lillian a xixixch better dog. When it was decided that 

 they rau,st compete he endeavored to withdraw his dog. bxxt 

 was not perixxitted to do so. He tlien determined that Ben 

 .should not win over the dog of his Ixest friend, stating that 

 he believed that the public would think him in such case to 

 be playing false and trying to wux a repxxtation for his dog 

 by beating Lillian. He also said that he did not for a 

 moment think that he was wronyixxg anyone but himself. 

 After a full and impartial hearing tlxe association, taking 

 uito cOnsideratioix the motives that actuated Mr. Stephen- 

 son, accepted his explanatioxx and decided to inflict ixo pen- 

 alty. The secretary w^as insti-ucted to have one huiiflred 

 copies of the constitution and by-laws prixxted for distribu- 

 tion among the members. It was voted that a special meet- 

 l ing of the association he held at High Point, N. C, next 

 year during the trials thei-e. 



BIRMINGHAM BENCH SHOW. 



[fionx a Special Correspondexxt.] 



'^"^HE twenty-seventh axmual exhibition of dogs was held 

 JL in Curzon Hall, Birnxixxgham, Nov. 39 and 30 and Dec 

 1 and 2, the total entry amounting to L060, which ixxeluded 

 double entries. The cla.sses as a whole were equal to any of 

 the Society's previous exhibitions, but the attendance was 

 below the average. 



In the deerhound challenge class Bevis I., looking bright 

 and well for his years, won, and is still one of our best deer- 

 hoxxnds. In the open dog class there was agood collection, 

 and we fancied the he. Warwick as one of the best in the 

 class, being large and powerfixl with quality, and .stood well. 

 Buscar II. was entered not for comi)etitioh; he is a very 

 powerful dog, bxxt coarse and we doxi't admire his coat. 

 First and cup wexxt to Atholell., a real good ainmal, just 

 soft enough itx coat. Donavourd Bran 11. sliows cjuality, but 

 is rather fine in face. Ronald, he, too small. We tlxiixk 

 Fingall H., unnoticed, very harshly treated; he won first at 

 Wai'wick and we think should have been in tlxe prize list 

 here. Bitches— Spencer fix-st, a bitch of good quality and 

 good in coat, but shown in low condition. Glen Isla. he, 

 only 14 xnonths, good size, quality, wondex-f ul depth of chest, 

 shown thin and looked flat-sided. Lassie II., third, good ixx 

 head, body, legs and feet, fall off in hindquarters. Cheiia 

 (late Lady), here vhc. and reserve, we thought all-round as 

 good as any in the class, hut her ears and'broad skull are 

 decidedly against her. 



In the challenge class for greyhounds Acalia, as last year 

 won and held the same position here, but we preferred her 

 kennel companion Lancashire Witch, and w"e know their 

 owrier agrees with us. In the open dog class Sampson won 

 again this year. He is a good upstanding black dog, shown 

 in very good condition and possessing bone and quality. 

 Lemon Squash, another good upstanding dog, bixt we 

 thought Balkis, he, quite equal to any in the class, and a 

 young dog, by Meixmon, sadly out of conditioxx, about the 

 pick of the basket, bar being high on the leg. Avhich we con- 

 sidered was o\ving a great deal to his low condition. Ixx 

 bitches the winner here last j^ear again won this year, and, 

 so far as we could see, she was about the worst specimen in 

 the class, being small, long, flat back, straight behind and 

 very plain in her shoulders. We fancied Lady Elinor, Coral 

 and Telegram III. about the best in the lot. The two 

 fonner were unnoticed. Touch-and-Go second, smart little 

 bitch, but too small, 



Beagles were a very fair collection, and we think, properly 

 placed, the reserve Abigail is ixot up to her old forxu. 



Regent won in the challexige class for fox-terxiers, with 

 Brookhouse Nick, looldng well for his years, reserve. Rose- 

 mary won in bitches, with no oppoixeut . Open dogs, a ver>' 

 moderate collection. Raby Mixei-weli ahead for rirst , a very 

 ixice little dog froxxx the same kexmei com ing second, but a 

 good way behind the form of the w inxiei-, but good in size 

 axxd shows well, with a fair, guotl head and good coat, and 

 sure to mn more before he is out of the puppy class, where 

 he also competed here atid won secoxid to Mr. Clark's yonm^ 

 do,g Reckon. In bitches. Mr. Raper was again to the" front 

 %vifh Richmond Mince, who we fancy is getting coarser in 

 head, and her shoulders are decidedly not improving. Mr. 

 Clark's Rachel Avas here unnoticed. We understand she 

 declined to show herself when the judge was officiating oix 

 this class. Othei-wise ixo doxxbt .she would have won and 

 coi-rectly so, as we fancy her one of the best if not the best 

 fox-teri"xer we kxxow of at the present time. Messrs. Hill & 

 A.shton came second with a very nice young bitch, just light 

 enough in bone and not propexiy furnished behind; her ears 

 are also on the large side, but a good little terrier and won 

 first in bitch puppies. Reckon, first in dog puppies, is a veiy 

 true-made little teiTier, with plenty of style and bone for his 

 size, but to our mind he is small, w'eak and toyish in head, 

 fine in muzzle and round in skull. 



In wix'e-haired fox-tex-riers Jack's Yarn, not looking so well 

 as we have seen bim, had a walk over in the challenge class 

 l or this A'axiety. Open doKS, .lack's Agau won lxr.st and held 

 the same positioix in the pxxppy class. He is a real good dog 

 but we consider him too large'for his age and his ears are 

 large. Carlisle Venture, a good dog, liut plain and w^ants 

 the quality of the winner. Bitches, Try Again second, and 

 the same position in puppies, is on the large side. Coalville 

 Mischief we think won well, BtU-ton Model having lost her 

 old. form, and we are ajfraid .she must take a hack seat ia the 



future, Mr. Raper won the team prize with Rahy Mixer, 

 Richmond Dazzle and Richmond Mince. 



Pointers, challenge class, Nasix of Upton won well, with 

 his dam. Nan, a good second to him; as there was no second 

 she got the resei-ve nuinber. Open dogs, Allien Ben, a good 

 lemon and white, plenty of bone, size and style, but lacking 

 the quality of some others in the class. Perdix, good, use- 

 ful-looking dog, not posscs.sing the quality of his brotlxei*, 

 Naso of Upton, Devon Ponto, very showy dog, looks like a 

 worlver with a very good head, but might" be better in 

 shoulders, and shown here much out of condition. CoiTiish 

 Don, he, shoxxld have aboxxt won, being full of (luality with 

 plenty of bone, bxxt may be a bit short to please some. ' Glad- 

 soiixe, first, a fiixe ixnstanding lemon and white with good 

 movemexits. This dog also woii first in the class for field 

 trial wimxex'S. Bitches, Tightfield Bloom, a vety sweet bitch, 

 when we had her off the bench she seemed tinxxd and mo^'-ed 

 badly. Lady Croxteth, good-headed, liver and white, un- 

 noticed, wide in fi-orxt and light in bone. Duchess of Hunt^- 

 x'oyde, good bitch, with character and good feet and legs. 

 W^e jxreferi'ed her to some placed over her. Arizona, good 

 stamp, coarse tail. lima, first, good bitch, heavily marked, 

 dia-k liver color. 



In challenge class for small-sized pointers the well-known 

 good little Ixxtch Beau Ideal woix; we thiixk her a trifle light 

 in eye. Clee, x-esorved, not .so good in bone as the winner. 

 Small dogs, first, Forrest King, a lemon and white, plain 

 before the eye, but; a well-node dog with plenty of bone for 

 his size Brackett TI., iinuoticen, w^e consiclered should 

 have been in the prize list; Milton Baron, rather fine, wants 

 bone and substaxice. Chandos, fii'st. po.s.sesses bone, suh- 

 stance and quality, and we think was coi-rectly placed; he 

 would lie improved with a darkci' eye. Iriitches, first and 

 second, sisters, the latter very small and weedy. We fancied 

 the third pxize hitch. Opal, to any in the class, with the 

 reserA'C. Kox-nish Kate, next. Mr. Tredeiinich exhibited 

 two more very nice bitches in this class. Kin.g of Kent, 

 reserve in the open class, won easily in puppy, and will be 

 again to the fi'o at. Domino, second ixx puixpies, too leggy. 

 In the field trial class, the lemon and w^hite (jladstjxne, first 

 in opeix dogs, won here over Little Ben, and Rapid Ben being 

 ixext best. Mr. Beck won the team prize with Nan, Naso of 

 Cpi oxx, Rapid Ben and Nannie, Mr. Lloyd's teanx getting the 

 reserve number. 



Setters, field trial winners, first to the Iri.sh setter Hector, 

 lookin,g remarkably well, as also was his kennel conxpanion, 

 W(!e Kate, who hxter on defeated (jaiTvowen ixx the challenge 

 class for Iiislx setters. In the challenge class for English 

 setters Bonnie Belle won. She is a very mee Iritch, full of 

 quality, with good head and black and tan nxarkings, with 

 blue marked body. Royalty came in for the reserve, but we 

 ■fancied Count Howard, uxmotxced, as best in the class. Open 

 class English setter dogs. King Mae good in coat and good 

 color, with a good body and pas.sing txood feet and legs, btit 

 a trifle di .shed in face. ' Blue Dash, a strnijL;- useftxl dog. coat 

 inclined to be curly about head axxd ears. Prince Rupert II., 

 who nxade his first appearance here last year, only" got a vhc. 

 and we think him about correctly jilaced. and consider him 

 abetter dog now than when shown here as a, puppy. He is 

 stylish and ))Ossi'sses (iiaracter and qualit7.% bxxt not the best 

 of feet and le,gs. ilonk of Furness. .second to him in the 

 puppy class last j ear, won this time axxd correctly so: pos- 

 sesse.s a beautiful level head, with good xieck, shouldei-s and 

 liody, and the best of feet and legs; in color he is almost white. 

 Royal .\lbert, third, is a very nice dog, x>os.ses.sing more 

 quality than n.sual in Mr. Shorthose's dogs, being finer and 

 nxoi-e like gallopixii^. Tiie sxnall dog Sir Tottou, often 

 i-eported upon, came second. In bitches. Mi*. Cockerton won 

 first axxd second with Madam Rachael and Belle of Furness, 

 placed in the same position here last year. We fancy Madaln 

 Rachael as being younjs^er and showing more quality. Mr. 

 Potter show^ed a very nice dai*k blue ticked bitch in Queen. 

 Elsie, vhc, 



Black and tan setters, challenge class, Czaiiiia won. 

 looking well, and in good coat and feather. Open dogs.-- 

 This class contained some good colored dogs, with good 

 coats, and possessing good bodies, feet and legs, but the 

 majority^ wex-e plain in head. The bitches were a very small 

 class, only four, and third prize was withheld. Mr." Chap- 

 man's well-kxxown Heather Blo.ssom winning, and a nice 

 bitch, catalogtied at 1.5 guineas, came second, which seemed 

 a bargain for some person. 



Irish setters, challenge cia.,ss. as we have previouslj- stated, 

 Wee Kate won oyer Giirryowen, who was here ujiuoticed. 

 Mountaineer getting the reserve luimber. Open do.gs. — 

 Hector won well, but after this we could not follow the 

 awards. The class was a real good strong class, with a lot 

 of good dogs. Fxisco was unnoticed. Kildare was nxarked 

 disqualified, w^e don't know what for, and another good 

 young dog in Moonlighter, also marked disqualified, and a 

 special cup offered by the Ixish Red Setter Club, upon con- 

 dition thttt it may be won by any member who had pre- 

 viously won one of their cups, so the cup goes to a dog ilu- 

 noticed in tlxe class. In our notes we have marked the 

 second pxize dog lucky. Bitches, first to a young bitch, who 

 afterward won in a very strong class of all varieties setter 

 puppies. The second prize winner was also in the puppv 

 cla.ss, Ixut unnoticed. Molleen, a very good bitch, wants 

 character in face. We preferred the unnoticed Kilty V. to 

 the reserved Nadine. 



In spaniels, the challenge class had nine entries, and fu-st 

 was awarded to the Clumber Psycho, ten years old. He 

 looked veiy well, considering his age, and is "no dxaxbt the 

 most tj'pical Clumber now showing. Yet w^e think the 

 black .spaxxiels Squaw and Solus should have been placed first 

 and second. Solus was shown here too fxxt, and we believ- - 

 this is his first defeat for over trwo years. Water spaniels 

 were a very moderate lot; only one entry in bitches, and it 

 was aix EnglLsh w^xtex- spaniel and looked like a half-bred 

 retriever. In Clumlxer dogs, first went to Hotpot, a very 

 .good typical dog, a trifie slioi-t in back, hut well shown. 

 Trustfull, second pxize, is pJaixj of face axid xxot in as good 

 ooudition as the '^'sinner, lu bitches, a snxall but very nice 

 biteh, Hno-%\', won. .She \vas closely pressed by her .sister. 

 Chexie. Ixi Sussex or I i vor-col oi'ed' d(xgs. fi rst went to Brid- 

 ford Laddie, a very good colxixeil dog of the correct type. 

 Second is too d.ax-k in ct.ilor, light ixi eye, lorg in body. but 

 leggy. Thex>e weve only two entries in bitches; Naoixxi an 

 easy flj-st, w-ith a beautiful head, gooil coat and colox", long 

 and low; tlxe best of the variety showxx for a long while. 

 Field spaniels, black, Beveiiey Rex, winner of secoxxd, is of 

 .small size, good color and coat, but crooked in foi-elegs. 

 New-ton Abbot Darkie is shoi-t on leg, but coarse in head. 

 Newton Abbot Lord has a good head, but is leggy. lu 

 bitches. Birdie is a large, handsome bitch. LTna is a perfct- 

 bodied hitch, with the best of feet and legs; she also Ixas good 

 coat axxd feather, but is deficient in head axxd ears. Beveiiey 

 Rhea is a nice bitch, but is .small and of the cocker stamp. 

 In other colored spaniels, Newton Abbot Laddie is short m 

 head, but good in body and coat. Bungy, from the same 

 kennel, is coarse. Councillor, looking w^orn out, was secijnd. 

 In cocker dogs, the fii-st is good in head, but light in bodv. 

 The second is good in body, but short in head. The bitches 

 were a good class. Florence, a liver, has a head of the large 

 .spaniel type First went to a young one likely to grow too 

 large. Beveiiey Fxxn, unnoticed, we thought the best cocker 

 in the clfiss 



In the challenge class for Basset hounds. Bourbon, looking 

 very well, once more w^oxi over Fino VI. In open class Texas 

 Fino is long and low, but short ixx ear. Judge is rather flat- 

 sided and short in ear. Remus won well. He is a trifle higli 

 on the leg. In bitches first prize was withheld. But we 

 thought Bertxlle ;ind tjie onnorxced Pmity quite good enough 

 to have the prizes awarded to them.
