SOUTH PARIS DOG SHOW. 



Editor Forest and Stream: 



The Oxford County Poultry and Bench Show Association 

 opened its second annual show in New and G. A. R. halls, at 

 South Paris, Me., Jan. 34, Everything indicated a success- 

 ful show. The weather tine, the attendance good, the quality 

 of dogs the best ever exhibited here, and there was a har- 

 mony of good will and support by both the management 

 and exhibitors, that added much to the attractiveness of the 

 show. The judging was done by Mr. N. Elmore, of Granby, 

 Conn., and gave complete satisfaction, uot an exhibitor to 

 find any fault. Mr. Elmore has made many and lasting 

 friends among both officers and exhibitors. The only hind- 

 rauce to success, both financially and otherwise, was the 

 terrible storm the last day, blockading all, judges, visitors 

 and exhibitors. Following is a list of the

THE WORCESTER HUNT.— The Worcester (Mass.) Spy 

 of recent date had this about the hunt appointed for yester- 

 day: All the fox hunters in Worcester county, within twenty 

 miles of the Heart of the Commonwealth, are full of enthusi- 

 asm over the coming hunt of the Pur Company, next Wed- 

 nesday. From 75 to 100 men, fully armed and equipped, 

 with half a hundred of the best fox -hounds in the state, will 

 be on hand if the weather conditions are favorable. Of course 

 John E. Slocomb, the king of the local fox hunters, who, if 

 he cannot describe running a fox with the elegance and 

 enthusiam with which Lady Gay Spanker details the hunting 

 scene, can make the story more amusing to those who know 

 the practical methods employed on the New England hills, 

 will be there. With him will be his celebrated hound Rip, 

 small but as full of bark as the biggest of them, and with a 

 nose which keeps him well up on reynard's track. Johnny 

 is an enthusiast and may be seen on' favorable, days taking 

 an early start for the suburbs of Paxton on the lookout for 

 "Levine's," where a favorable stand can be taken to prevent 

 reynard from going u furder" south. Webster Thayer and 

 his black and tan Dan will be there. Dan has the reputat ion 

 of being level-headed, possesses a voice said to be as sweet as 

 new-mown hay. His master prizes him highly and has ac- 

 complished wonders in training him. He has not, as yet, 

 acquired the trick of "charging to whistle," but lies down 

 promptly at the sight of a club. From Spencer, George T. 

 Bates, the king of fox hunters in his district, will probably 

 enter Grizzly Ben, a noted hound, said to be a steady and 

 reliable runner, full of endurauce. Bates has killed seven 

 foxes ahead of him so far this season. A fox hunt hereabout 

 without A. B. F. Kinney and John M. White of Millburv 

 would be like the rink without a walking match. They have 

 a pack of ten extra good hounds, selected for their running 

 qualities, and some of them will be heard on the Boylston 

 hills next Wednesday. Samuel Thayer will enter three good 

 ones, among them, Old Hunter, a crack runner in his day, 

 and one who knows a thing or two about sly reynard's tricks 

 to-day. Uncle Nathan Harrington will bring out the famous 

 Loud, just to make one more, for no circus is complete 

 without a clowm, and Uncle Nathan, if a bit rusty physically, 

 is as full of fun and enthusiasm as when Johnny Slocomb 

 dumped moccasin-shod Lon Woodcock into the drin k because 

 in playing ferry boat he had got stranded in a quicksand. 

 John R. Thayer's resonant voice will be heard expressing 

 the pleasure he takes in the cha.se above the din, to which 

 his extra fine hounds, Fleet and Guess, contribute their 

 full share. A fox hunt without Genial John would be shorn 

 of half its pleasures. Leonard Rand's Old Dick will be 

 one of the leaders of the pack, and Charles Crompton will 

 run the dog Hunt's Spot, one of the best track dogs in the 

 county, whose work will be watched with general curiosity. 

 C. H. Howe of Milford, a member of the Worcester Sports- 

 men's Club, one of the most genial and successful hunters 

 in the State, will enter Bolivar, a hound possessing many 

 good qualities, which will undoubtedly crop out and be har- 

 vested. W. R. Dean will be on hand with the white hound 

 Railsplitter, from his tendency to follow on the top rail of a 

 Virginia fence. This dog has a round, full voice, bearing a 

 resemblance to a B flat foghorn . He was imported from Leo- 

 minster by a prominent member of the Fur Company, and 

 will undoubtedly make a record before the season closes. 

 The local members will welcome many out-of-town friends, 

 for Allie and Robert Perry are coming up from Braintree; 

 Messrs. Mitchell, Muscroft, Brooks, Gifford, Newton, Har- 

 rington, with their hounds, from Grafton; Ezra Burton and 

 George Sampson from South Lancaster, with three hounds 

 noted in that section. Rutland will send down the veteran 

 Chas. Pierce, Paul Wheeler and Mr. Healey. and Ashburn- 

 ham will be represented by H. C. Newell and a pack of four 

 extra good hounds. From Millbury, Byron Stewart with 

 his dog Moses is coming, and the Oxford contingent will 

 include Messrs. Goshlaw, Appleby, Moffitt and Ingraham, 

 with a number of extra good hounds. Dr. Holbrook, of East 

 Douglas, will be the guest of E. S. Knowles, and the back 

 counties are yet to be heard from. 



NEW YORK DOG SHOW. — Editor Fbr&st and Stream: 

 The managers have decided to divide the champion black 

 and tan setter class, and the class for Irish terriers by sex: 

 also to make a champion class for wire-haired fox-terriers. 

 A special prize of $25 cash is offered for the best dachshund 

 dog: and a suitable collar for the best rough-coated St. Ber- 

 nard bitch owned by a lady. The usual medals for dogs that 

 have been placed in any of the field trials held in America 

 will be offered. The president of the Collie Club, Mr. Jen- 

 kins Van Schaiek, offers a silver cup of the value of ¥300 for 

 the best collie the property of a member of the Collie Club, 

 to be known as the "President's Cup"; to be competed for 

 annually and to remain the property of the club. The first 

 competition for the cup to be at the Westminster Kennel 

 Club's Show, Feb. 21 to 24, 1888. — J AS. Mobtimee, Supt. 



UTICA DOG SHOW.— The inaugural dog show of the 

 Fort Schuyler Kennel Club, to be held at Utica, N. Y., Feb. 

 13 to 17, promises to be a much larger show than the man- 

 agement anticipated. Entries are comiug in rapidly and 

 many prominent kennels will be represented. Mr. J.Otis 

 Fellows will superintend the show, which is assurance that 

 the dogs will be well cared for. In addition to those already 

 announced there will be a large number of valuable special 

 prizes offered. We are informed that in some of the less 

 important classes where dogs and bitches compete, the 

 classes will be divided by sex, should the number of entries 

 warrant the change. We understand that wins at Utica 

 will count at New Haven and Boston. Entries close Feb. 4, 

 and should be made to the secretary, E. J . Spencer. Box 172, 

 ITtica, N. Y. 



DOGS IN THE FAMILY AND ON THE FARM.-"C. H. 

 M.," writes to the Times from Morristown, N. J.: "Having 

 raised, trained, aud used seven setter dogs in the past 30 

 years, and also having observed the characteristics of other 

 species of dogs, my conclusion is that jealousy in the dog 

 nature was the cause of the wrong-doing of these dogs, and 

 that had there been but one dog to foe caressed by the child 

 no harm would have occurred. Any person having a dog 

 may take a strange small child on his knee and cal In p his 

 dog, and, if a pet dog and fond of his master, get him to take 

 any notice of the child if he can, and observe if the dog does 

 not try to have all attention. On general principles there 

 should be but one dog and of good disposition to a family, 

 and that brought up from a pup uot over fi mouths old. 

 especially if to be in a family with children and trained by 

 one person to obey. Medium to large sizes are preferable, ft 

 is bad for many reasons to have two or more dogs to a family. 

 Like boys, it generally takes two or more to do mischief. 

 Cross a farm, the one dog, ever so large, may start toward 

 you and you have but little occasion to fear (by day,) but 

 when you see a second dog rather small start yelping after 

 you you are in danger— especially if a stranger to the large 

 dog. Further, I believe there would uot be one-fourth of the 

 present amount of taxes to be paid in New Jersey for sheep 

 killed by dogs if we had a stringent law compelling all 

 owners of dead animals (carrion) to bury them, and also a 

 law to compel those having .slaughter houses to bury or in 

 some way destroy or take care of all blood or bloody refuse, 

 keeping such away from dogs. I have known of dogs gather- 

 ing at night about a dead horse to start out on a marauding 

 expedition to bite and tear fullgrown cattle. Also, a farm- 

 ing neighborhood where a slaughter house was located, and 

 where a great many sheep were killed by clogs. It is a rare 

 case that a single dog kills his first sheep, but two or more 

 dogs, getting together at a slaughter house at night and get- 

 ting a taste of blood, are ready for mischief and" will go for 

 sheep. 



PHILADELPHIA DOG SHOW.— We have received a 

 copy of the premium list of the dog show to be held at 

 Philadelphia Feb. 28 to March 2. In the more important 

 classes the champion prize is S20 for dogs, bitches the same, 

 with §20, #10 and silver medal in open classes, and $10 and 

 silver medal for puppies. In other classes the champion 

 prize is a champion medal, with $10 and silver medal in open 

 classes. In the remaining classes the prizes are $10 and silver 

 medal, a silver medal will be given as a second prize in 

 champion classes where there are three or more entries. A 

 member of the American English Beagle Club offers a 

 special prize of a handsome engraving for the best beagle 

 that has been hunted during the past season and has had not 

 less than ten rabbits killed over during the season. Owners 

 desiring to compete must file with the secretary a certificate 

 stating that entries made are eligible. The judges, so far 

 as announced, are Messrs. Ed. Matter, Gordon 'setters; H. C. 

 Glover, Irish setters; G. L. Wilms, pointers; H. Mueller, 

 Great Danes and Newfoundlands; W. Stewart Diffenderffer, 

 beagles, and Martin Dennis, collies. Entries close Feb. 

 18. The secretary's address is Wm. H. Child. Philadel- 

 phia, Pa. 



THE PACIFIC COAST FIELD TRLALS. — The fifth an- 

 nual field trials of the Pacific Coast Field Trials Club began 

 at Bakersfield. Cal., Jan. 16. Ten of the 33 nominations for 

 the Derby qualified. The judges selected were: Messrs. R 

 T. Vandevort, ;Passadena; F. A. Taft, Truckee, Cal., aud F. 

 Satterthwaite. Newark, N. J. The latter was unable to be 

 present, and Mr. J. M. Bassford, Vacaville, Cal., was ap- 

 pointed in his stead. The winners were: California Ken- 

 nels' Euglish setter bitch Sunlit, first; L. J. Rose, Jr.'s 

 pointer dog Point, second, and third was divided between 

 W. Demott's English setter bitch Haroldine and G. W. Bass- 

 ford's pointer bitch Blossom. We have made arrangements 

 for a full report, and hope, to receive it in time for next. week. 



BOSTON DOG SHOW. — Spratts Patent will bench and 

 feed the dogs at the coming Boston show. From present 

 indications it seems probable that the entries will exceed in 

 number those of last year. A great many requests for 

 blanks have been received from those who have never exhi- 

 bited before, and, of course, all who were there last year will 

 not fail to come again. The managers will do all in their 

 power to make the show even better, if possible, than the 

 very successful one of last year, and we have no doubt that 

 the benches will be filled with the best representatives of 

 the different breeds that can be produced. The premium 

 lists are nearly ready for distribution; the prizes exceed 

 those of last year. 



NEW HAVEN DOG SHOW.— The New Haven Kennel 

 Club have secured the Skating Rink for their dog show to be 

 held next month. The building is more centrally located 

 than the armory, but is not quite so large, and in con- 

 sequence the club has decided to limit the nximber of entries 

 to 500, and all above this limit will be returned. It is the 

 intention of the managers to make this the best show that 

 the club has yet held, and they will spare no trouble to 

 accomplish their purpose. The secretary informs us that he 

 has received a vast number of enquiries for entry blanks and 

 he wishes us to announce in answer t o them that t he premium 

 lists will be ready about the 25th and at ouee mailed to all 

 applicants. 



SPANIEL LOST.— A brown cocker spaniel dog one year 

 old, with a white star on breast and with tail not quite 

 healed from docking, has been missing about ten days. 

 Any information that will lead to his recovery will be thank- 

 fully received by the owner, Mr. C. B. Ludekins, Port Rich- 

 mond, N. Y.

KENNEL MANAGEMENT. 



KIT" No Notice Taken of Anonymous Correspondents. 



J. L. W., Boston.— Consult "Ashmont" on distemper and follow 

 treatment. 



C. S., Aalantic City.— I have a bitch which I had spayed in 

 September last; do you think that it should interfere with Her by 

 working her so soon? She has been sick, and they say it was from 

 using her so soon. Ans. No. Look for other cause. 



F. C. E., Macon. Ga.— I have a four year old pointer dog that 

 has just come through a severe case of distemper. He has re- 

 covered his appetite, and shows some sprightliness, but has a con- 

 tinued sniffling or coughing. There is also a slight discharge of 

 blood from his nostrils. I gave him Glover's imperial distemper 

 cure at first, with one or two doses of castor oil. Have ceased all 

 treatment now except about teaspoonful of sulphur once a day. 

 He seems to strain violently at stool, passing a loose yellowish 

 matter, not at aU mucous m character, and no sign of worms. 

 Ans. Dog only wants general treatment. Get Pil. ferri Co. No. 12 

 and give one three times daily in the food or hidden in a bit of 

 meat.
