FOREST AND STREAM. 



[March 1, 1888. 



class style. Nearly all of the winners are well known, and 

 need no' description. The winning puppy is the best one we 

 remember to have seen. His muzzle might be improved, 

 but otherwise it is hard to find fault with him. Of course, 

 he is not furnished, but when mature we shall expect to see 

 him leading the pack if nothing befalls him. 



FOX-TERRIEES— (MR. Ii. P. C. ASTLEY). 



This was undoubtedly the best class ever seen in America, 

 and the Blemton Kennels showed a team such as few men 

 have ever owned. Lucifer, Splauger and Bacchanal were 

 the entries in the champion class for dogs, and of course 

 Lucifer won. For reasons previously given in these columns 

 we thought Bacchanal fairly entitled to second prize. The 

 corresponding bitch class with Diadem, Marguerite, Rich- 

 mond Olive and Diana was a hot one. Diadem won, and 

 her victory must be in a large measure attributed to condi- 

 tion. She was a wreck when Hopkins took her in hand, yet 

 he brought her out in great form and Olive's owner had less 

 cause to complain than he had two years ago. Diana has 

 gone all to pieces in legs, and we would have placed Mar- 

 guerite over ner for third place. The open dog class was 

 also a good one, and when we say that Raby Mixer was 

 beaten by a better dog we give an idea of the quality shown 

 by the winner. He stands on shorter legs than Mixer, 

 is better in body and of better size. A grand little 

 dog. The bitch class was also a good one, and Rachel, 

 who we had been told had not a leg to stand on, 

 won, and in our opinion won easily. Her forelegs 

 are not put on as well as they might have been and she 

 is not quite straight in front, but in other respects she 

 is a great bitch— one of the very best we have ever seen. 

 We did not see her in competition with Lucifer and Dusky 

 Trap for the special, but without seeing the dogs together 

 we should say that she was the best of the trio. We like her 

 better than any bitch we have ever seen with the one excep- 

 tion of Dorcas. Her condition was superb. New Forest 

 Ethel made a good second and is a good bitch. We had been 

 told to look for a bitch that could give Rachel many points 

 and a beating and were disappointed in not finding such an 

 one. Ethel is a bit soft looking and at times carries her 

 ears very badly, otherwise she is a good one, but not up to 

 Rachel's form. Oh, no! Blemton Brilliant, third prize, is 

 a white bitch showing good breeding, and Tiara, well known, 

 took the reserve. Frist, second, third, and reserve in a class 

 like this was a great victory for Mr. Belmont's kennel. Of 

 the very many others shown in the puppy classes only one 

 is likely to be heard of in keen competition and this is Blem- 

 ton Consequence, a beautiful puppy by Result out of Dia- 

 dem, if all goes well with this very promising youngster 

 we shall soon be able to say that a fox-terrier has been bred 

 in America. The wire-haired dogs were a seedy lot, not a 

 good one among them. 



BLACK AND TAN TERRIERS— (MR. ASTLEY). 



Only three were shown in this class. Dick, winner of 

 second, was much the best, but he was out of condition and 

 was obliged to take a back seat. 



WHITE ENGLISH TERRIERS— (MR. ASTLEY). 



Two very good white English terriers were shown. Dia- 

 mond Spark, winner of first, is quite good with the exception 

 that he might stand better in front. Lovely, winner ot 

 second, is a trifle too wide in chest. 



IRISH TERRIERS— (MR. ASTLEY). 

 The Irish terriers Were better than we often see together. 

 The winners of first and second are typical dogs with too 

 much coat. That of the latter if also too soft. Third went 

 to Evictor, a good bodied dog but short iu head and lacking 

 character. In the bitch class first went to Breda Tiney, a 

 very good bitch all round with a nice head. Poppy II., 

 second, is a fairly good terrier, a bit cheeky and short of 

 coat. 



DANDIE DINMONT TERRIERS— (MR, ASTLEY). 

 Only three Dandies were shown. Border Wang was 

 placed first over Lady Wallace. The latter is better in skull, 

 coat and body, and should have had the place. 



BEDLINGTON TERRIERS— (MR. ASTLEY). 



There were seven entries iu this class with one absentee, 

 the well known Sentinel. First went to Domino, a nice 

 specimen fairly good at all points. We could not follow the 

 judge in placing Sir George second, his faulty head and 

 poor coat are too much against him in such company. Tees 

 Rock, unnoticed, was clearly entitled to the place, with Els- 

 wick Sue a good third, and George, he, would have been 

 about right. 



SKYE TERRIERS— (MR. ASTLEY). 

 In Skyes, Towzie, well known, was placed first, with Glad- 

 stone Boy second. The latter is of good type. Ben More, 

 placed third, is a better dog than either, but his bad condi- 

 tion undoubtedly caused him to be overlooked by the judge. 

 Locbiel, reserve, showed the best coat in the class. 



WELSH TERRIERS— (MR. ASTLEY). 



This breed has caused much iuk to flow in England. There 

 were two shown and one could hardly tell T'other from 

 Which so near alike were they. They are something of the 

 type of the Irish, and are nice, gamy looking terriers. 



YORKSHIRE TERRIERS — (MR. L. P. C. ASTLEY). 



As usual, this was a very poor class, and there was not a 

 dog in the lot that would be able to win third prizein agood 

 class. Ben, well-known, is but an apology for a champion 

 Yorkshire. Teddy, first in the open class for dogs, was by 

 far the best dog of the lot, but his body color is much too 

 dark, and his head color too light. Mr. Astley was right in 

 withholding first iu the bitch class, but his first prize toy is 

 not as good as the bitch he did not consider deservine of first 

 in the other class. Roger is bad in color and short in coat. 

 Monarch is short in coat and very poor in leg and face color. 

 Lady is short in coat, light in tan and also in body color. 

 Toys were a very seedy lot, every one of them being bad in 

 head. 



PUGS— (ME. ASTLEY), 

 The pugs were better than last year. In the champion 

 class for dogs Master Tragedy was withdrawn, and Max, 

 looking well, had a walk over. In the bitch class Bessie, at 

 her very best, was alone. In the open dog class first went to 

 Dude, a very nice, compact little dog. His chief fault is 

 lack of trace. Peter, winner of second, is good in head, 

 eyes and coat. He is smutty in color and stands too high on 

 his legs. Doctor, third, we did not see, as he was taken out 

 sick soon after judging. Mikado, vhc, is a well made dog 

 of good color and with lots of style. He is too large and 

 might be better in ears and toe nails. In the bitch class first 

 went to Daisy. She is a nice size with good eyes, legs, feet 

 and nails, and fair coat and tail. Her skull is narrow and 

 her color is very bad. She should have been content with 

 vhc. Vesta, a much better bitch, was placed second. She 

 is good in head, face, eyes, and trace. She is a trifle smutty 

 and was shown too thin. Tra-la-la, well known, was well 

 shown and clearly entitled to first. Paquette, reserve, 

 should ha ve been third. She is good in skull, coat and nails, 

 and fairly good in trace and markings and tall. She is a bit 

 dish-faced, a trifle light in eyes and a little too high on her 

 legs. None of the puppies were worth mention. 



TOY SPANIELS— (MR. ASTLEY). 

 In the champion class three well-known King Charles 

 were shown; Milwaukee Charlie was placed first, with Duke 

 second and Roscius third. The last two should have ex- 

 changed places. In the open class for King Charles first 

 went to Bonny, looking well: she is one of the best we have. 

 King Pippin was alone in the champion class for Blen- 



heims. In the open class first went to Exeter Beauty, with 

 a remarkably short face; she was short of coat. In the 

 Prince Charles and Ruby class the winners are well known. 

 The Japanese spaniels were more numerous than at previous 

 shows; we did not see them out of their cages and will give 

 no opinion as to their relative merits, 



ITALIAN GREYHOUNDS— (MR. ASTLEY). 

 The winners in this class are well known and need no 

 description. 



MEXICAN HAIRLESS — (MR. TAUNTON). 



Me Too was again te the fore in this class, one of his 

 progeny third, and Nellie, well known, second.

THE BOSTON SHOW. 



BOSTON, Mass., Feb. 27, 1888.— The grand success of the 

 New England Kennel Club iu its bench show last year 

 seems likely to be not only equalled, hut eclipsed in the 

 coming show, to be held in this city April 3, 4, 5 and 6. 

 Energy, liberality and independence is the motto of the 

 bench show committee, which consists of Messrs. Fay, New- 

 man, Grosvenor, Moore and Long, all enthusiastic lovers of 

 the dog. 



The premium list is a record breaker. Over 84,500 in cash 

 prizes, handsome cups, and sterling silver medals are pro- 

 vided for distribution among the various breeds. Fox-ter- 

 riers alone are to be awarded §600, including four graud 

 special prizes of $100 each. This should insure a larger 

 entry of fox-terriers than has ever been seen at any previous 

 show in America. 



Other sporting classes, such as setters, pointers, spaniels, 

 deerhounds, beagles, etc., are liberally provided for. while 

 the nou-sporting classes have been lavishly remembered. 

 Mastiffs will receive in cash prizes $270, besides over $MSQ in 

 special prizes, among others, one of £35 cash, offered by Mr. 

 William Wade, of Hulton, Pa , for best puppy. St. Bernards, 

 rough and smooth-coated, are donated $330. in cash, and Miss 

 Whitney, who will judge this breed, is likely to have a grand 

 array iii her classes. Among other "dark horses" already 

 promised, are two splendid pups by the great English cham- 

 pion Plinlimmon. The dog pup, now only eight months old, 

 w eighs 1501bs., and is grandly developed. 



From letters on file at the club rooms your correspondent 

 learned that in the spaniel classes a grander exhibit is 

 assured for Boston than has ever been showu in America. 

 Mr. F. H. F. Mercer writes, "The display of Clumbers at 

 Boston will be ahead of any previous show." In cocker 

 spaniels, all the leading breeders have assured the club of 

 hearty support. 



The South of Scotland Dandie Dinmont Terrier Club has 

 donated two handsome medals for this breed, one for best 

 clog and one for best bitch, to be nudged by the club stand- 

 ard. One of the leading fanciers in this country writes, "I 

 shall have quite a string of Dandie Dinmonts to be shown 

 this spring, and would rather have them compete at Boston 

 than at any other show."
