FOREST AND STREAM. 



[April 12, 1888. 



coat and gets her brush up. Still she shows much character, 

 and if carefully mated should throw good looking puppies. 

 Rutland Maid, c, has gone off. Glen, c, is plain in head, 

 light in bone, short in coat and has drop ears; still she shows 

 good breeding. Royal Monarch, second in dog puppies, is 

 coarse in head and soft in coat. Hornpipe Hero, third prize 

 in the same class, is heavy in head, light in eyes, heavy in 

 ears and has round eyes. In other respects, excepting car- 

 riage of ears, he will do. First in bitch puppies went to 

 Hornpipe Bessie, a very promising puppy by Kilmarnock 

 Bruce out of Lassie B. 'She is rather soft in coat and too 

 small, and this is about all that can be said against her at 

 present. Hebe of Nessel Down, he, was not on the bench 

 when I called for my notes, Smooth-coats, with the ex- 

 ception of Lady Bird,' were a poor lot. The winners were 

 described in your New York report. 



POODLES, 



Not a good class. Friday, defective in head, rather short 

 in ear, not first-cl ass iu expression , not strong enough in body, 

 nor close enough in curl, was first, and Cocoa, who has the 

 same defects, was second. The rest of the class were worth- 

 less curs. In bitches, first was withheld, and I gave second 

 to Dinah, plain in head, short in ear and very open and 

 woolly in coat. 



ITALIAN GREYHOUNDS. 



This class was very much better than is usually seen at 

 our shows and I divided it for doss and bitches. Among 

 the former Miss E. M. Van Buren's Cupid, the best male 

 specimen I have seen in America, won, He is not deep 

 enough in chest, nor perfect in hindquarters, but age will 

 bring him down some. He was far away the best. Dande- 

 lion, second prize, is of poor color and his stilty appearance 

 is against him, Romeo, vhc, is too large, by pounds anil so 

 is his kennel companion Lillie, first in bitches. Both are 

 well built. Zephyr, second prize, is crookediu front and not 

 truly built, neither is her action lofty as should be. The 

 best of the lot would not score higher than c. in competition 

 with a Molly or a Bankside Daisy. 



AIREDALE TERRIERS. 



Pin, first at New York, was first again on this occasion. 

 Nelson, second prize, is too large, heavier in ear than he 

 should be, and softer and longer in coat than I like. Tramp, 

 third prize, is coarse in head and very def< ctive in hind 

 parts. He stands fairly well in front and his coat will do. 

 Dick and Rattler are all wrong in coat. 



MISCELLANEOUS OVER 25LBS. 

 A bad lot, with Sir Lucifer, whose coat I don't quite like, 

 an easy winner. Jack Dempsey, a whippet with bad ears 

 and coarse tail, was second, and Fritz, a poor Dalmatian, 

 coarse in head and not clean in markings, third. 



Charles H. Mason. 



pointers. 



In champion pointers, large dogs, Beaufort and Graphic 

 were the only entries, the latter was absent, and the well- 

 known Beaufort had a walk-over. He also won special for 

 best pointer in the show. Meally, the only entry in the 

 large champion pointer bitch class, did not show. In the 

 open class Nick of Tell was first, Sachem second and Bang 

 third. The winner is a large dog of good form, good chest, 

 legs and feet, faulty in ear, a little light in loin, but he is a 

 young dog and will no doubt improve with age. Sachem, 

 the winner of second, was closely pressed for the place by 

 Bang. While the latter is better in head, Sachem is better 

 in other respects and has a better tail. William Tell, vhc, 

 is too lumbersome all through, even for a heavy-weight 

 pointer, and was shown too fat. In the open bitch class 

 Belle Randolph was first, Rosa Croxteth second and Devon- 

 shire Countess third. Although the winner is a trifle wide 

 in head and throaty, still I thought her all through better 

 than any in the class. Rosa Croxteth was bad in legs, feet 

 and head. Devonshire Countess was fully as faulty in head 

 as the two before her and has a bad tail, heavv shoulders, is 

 wide in front and out at the knees. The well-known Donald 

 was alone in the small champion dog class and was awarded 

 the prize, while Juno S. held the same place in the bitch 

 class. In the light-weight open dog class Brake, a very 

 handsome lemon and white dog with lots of quality, was 

 first, a very easy winner, and when age improves him in loin 

 and flank will take a lot of beating. The winner of second, 

 Don Quixote, is a stylish dog, bad in skull and out at the 

 elbows. Naso Boy was light-limbed, lacked stop and is bad 

 behind. Iu the bitch class Bonanza, a handsome daughter 

 of Beaufort and Zuba, was first, Jane second and Belle of 

 Maine third. In the puppy class Tam O'Shanter, Black 

 Crook and Donald Faust were first, second and third respec- 

 tively, while Bessie, White Fawn and Clytie had the same 

 places among the bitches. I don't think either class con- 

 tained future champions. 



ENGLISH SETTERS. 

 Champion dogs contained five entries, Plantagenet, Rock- 

 ingham, Royal Prince II., Royal Albert and Foreman, the 

 latter not for competition. The pride of place was a hot 

 race between Rockingham and Royal Albert, the latter win- 

 ning. While there is little to choose between them, yet that 

 little is, I think, in favor of the latter. He has not so much 

 lumber as Rockingham, yet has plenty of bone and muscle; 

 his chest is deeper and of better shape, not so wide up at the 

 shoulders. Rockingham has a cleauer, longer skull, and is 

 clean at the angle of eye and muzzle. Albert, although he 

 has not so much lumber, still measures more around the 

 chest and loin Both were well shown. In the bitch class 

 the well-known Cora of Wetheral was alone and won. In 

 the open dog class the winner turned up in Dad Wilson, 

 with Gus Bondhu second and Roger third, and Count Petrel 

 and Leroy both vhc. The winner, although out of coat and 

 feather and thin in flesh, which made him look a little slack 

 in loin, still had good points enough to easily carry him to 

 the front. In head, chest, shoulders, legs and feet' a graud 

 one, full of quality and style. It will take a hot one to heat 

 him when in the best of form. He also won special for the 

 best English setter in the open classes. The winner of sec- 

 ond is well known and has no very serious defects. Roger, 

 third, is short iu head and ear. Count Petrel, vhc, had a 

 better head, but stood very badly on his front feet, which 

 were bad, and he was not good in chest, loin or shoulders. 

 In the open bitch class. Blue Nell won first, Haphazard sec- 

 ond and Saddle Bags third. The winner is new, I believe, to 

 the American show bench, but will hold her own among the 

 best. The second and third are a beautiful brace of bitches, 

 own sisters, I believe. The class was a good one. In the 

 puppy class, dogs, Bow Bondhu was first, Royal Victor sec- 

 ond and Dan third, while Queen was first, New York Beauty 

 second and Gypsy Queen third in bitches. Gretchen was 

 too thick and round in chest, or she would have had a 

 place. 



GORDON SETTERS. 



In champion Gordons the well-known Royal Duke was 

 first, and in the bitch class Roxie beat Heather Lass. In the 

 open dog class Little Boy was first, Beaumont second and 

 Markland Ranger third. In coat, color and style the win- 

 ner is far ahead of Beaumont, and while he is a little thick 

 between the eyes, still is fully as good in legs and feet. 

 Markland Ranger, third, is nearer the vhc. dog than winner 

 of second. In the bitch class Vic had an easy win, She 

 was shown a little fat, but had lots of Gordon character. 

 New York Belle was second and Becky Sharp third. Among 

 the puppies, Ned first and an unnamed second, Becky Sharp 

 third in the open class, won in the bitch puppy class over 

 Victoria II., second, and Daisy D. third. The Gordons were 

 better than is usually seen. Wm. Jarvis. 



IRISH SETTERS. 

 The Irish setters as compared with the classes usually 

 seen at our best shows were only middling. There was no 

 entry in the champion dog class. In the bitch class the 

 well known Molly Bawn was the only one entered. She is 

 a very handsome animal and is about as good as she looks, 

 I think her to be a grand bitch and she easily captured the 

 special for the best m the show of either sex. The contest 

 for this prize soon narrowed down to Molly aud Kenmore, 

 the winner in the open dog class, and it did not take me 

 long to decide it, Kenmore is a nice little dog of good type 

 and color, with a good head. He is not quite straight on 

 his forelegs and stands just a trifle out at elbows, other- 

 wise he is good and had no trouble in winning the special 

 for the best dog. I gave second in the dog class to the 

 well known Chip. He is a very taking looking, fairly good 

 all-round useful little dog. Trojan Rory O'More I thought 

 just about the next best and placed him third. He has a 

 nice head with good ears, is fairly good in body and of 

 proper color. He is somewhat light in bone and is too 

 straight behind. I gave four vhc. cards to fairly good dogs, 

 some of them close to Chip and Rory, but not quite up to 

 their mark. I gave three he cards and a commended to 

 dogs that have some merit, sufficient I thought to entitle 

 them to the honor. The remainder of the class was poor. 

 The bitches were better than the dogs. The three winners 

 gave me no little trouble to decide between them, each is 

 Better in some respects than either of the. others, while all 

 have faults that will prevent their winning when in first 

 class company. After a careful examination I selected 

 Molly for first place. She is a very handsome typical bitch 

 with a good head. She is of good color and is quite fair in 

 body, quarters and hindlegs, her forelegs are poor and she 

 is bad m feet; I gave second to Lulu II., a very taking look- 

 ing bitch but with not enough substance. I liked Hazelnut 

 III. with the exception of her too heavy head, better than 

 any in the class, sne is strohgly made,' has plenty of bone 

 and has a "wear and tear" appearance that I like. Had she 

 a typical head I should have placed her first. The others in 

 the class that received notice were a trifle more deserving 

 than those of the dog class. The winniug dog puppies were 

 a fair lot. I gave first to King Pin, a very symmetrical dog 

 with a good head and capital legs and feet. He is much too 

 light in color but will undoubtedly improve in this res- 

 pect. Don, winner of second, is quite a fair young dog but 

 is too heavy in head and generally coarse to develop into a 

 good old one. I gave third to Ko Ko, just a fair puppy. He 

 will probably beat Don next year but will hardly be able to 

 beat a good one. I gave he to two rather moderate speci- 

 mens, the remainder of the dogs were a poor lot. The 

 bitches were much better than the dogs. Flora, winner of 

 first, is a very typical Irish setter and bids fair to grow into 

 a fine specimen. Her litter sister JeDnie, but little behind 

 her, made a very good second, while Maggie, winner of third, 

 is fully the equal of these two with the exception of coat and 

 color. These three were so much superior to the others that 

 I gave he only to two just fair specimens. None of the 

 others were worthy notice. Wm. Dunpht. 



BEAGLES. 



There were thirty-five entries in the beagle classes, and 

 there were few absent. The quality was good. In champion 

 dogs Fitz Hugh Lee won over Little Duke, excelling him in 

 head— having better hung and longer ears. In champion 

 bitches three fine ones entered the ring, champion Lou 

 winning, excelling champion Bonnie in skull aud muzzle. 

 May .Belle II. was also a little off in muzzle. Both champion 

 Bonnie and May Belle II. are hard to beat. The well-known 

 Twinkle was absent. In the open class for dogs first went 

 to Frank, who beat Bugler in muzzle and coat. Bugler, 

 second, had a sweeter expression than Racer, Jr., winner of 

 third, and excellinghis strongest competitor,Royal Krueger, 

 only a little. Royal Krueger was slightly deficient' in 

 muzzle and skull; his eyes seemed larger than the eye-lids, 

 and the iris was partly covered fey lid. He did not seem to 

 be disposed to show himself to advantage, and I doubt if he 

 was well, for soon after judging I tried to get him up in 

 stall, but he would not stand up unless made. The open 

 class for bitches was a strong one. Snider, one of the best 

 bitches I have ever seen, winning first over Mystic, excelling 

 her in muzzle, skull, coat and legs. Mystic won second 

 over Elf, being her superior in chest and eyes. Iu the puppy 

 class for dogs there was only one eutry, Dandy Jim, but he 

 was good and was awarded first. In the bitches Elf was 

 placed first over Fay, second, beingbetterin loin and muzzle. 

 Fay was better in skull and ear than Daisy, winner of third. 



BASSET HOUNDS. 



Bertrand, first, had more dewlap than Copette, winner of 

 second place. They were a fine pair. 



FOXHOUNDS. 



There were fifteen entries in the dog class, First was won 

 by Hunter, he having a little the best chest, but there was 

 little choice between him and Drive, who was second, aud 

 placed over Pride of Horn ell, a fine hound, but somewhat 

 throaty, and as the standard of points does not allow the 

 slightest throatiness many good ones got only a c. Well 

 worthy of mention were the four black foxhounds Niger, 

 Darkie, Blaekic and Bessie, entered only for exhibition, by 

 W. H. White, of Stonington, Mass., and they attracted a 

 great deal of attention. The bitch class had no entrv for 

 competition. N. Elmore. 



BULLDOGS. 



The champion dogs were a very good class of three, Robin- 

 son Crusoe, the winner, is well known. In bitches Brito- 

 rnartis had another easy win, I also gave her the special for 

 best bulldog or bitch in the show. In open dogs over 451bs., 

 Lion, lately imported, won easily. He is a very good speci- 

 men with grand body, legs and feet, chop and wrinkle good. 

 His faults are, rather too round in skull, ears set on a trifle 

 too low. Second went to The Moor, who has a nice head 

 with good skull, but is wrong in body, being too high on 

 the leg and flat-sided, Third went to Quasimodo, who is 

 too narrow in skull, stop fair, ears good, body fair, but was 

 shown too thin. Smile, vhc, has terrier body and legs; 

 head fair. In bitches Josephine had a walk-over. King 

 Cole, Jr., was alone in the small dog class; he is the best 

 small-sized bulldog I have ever seen. In bitches under 

 351 bs. I felt justified in withholding first. Juauita, to whom 

 I gave second, is very faulty in formation of lower jaw, not 

 being underhung more than a quarter of an inch. Beatrice, 

 also entered m this class, has a Dudlev nose and light eye, 

 for which I left her unnoticed. I gave third to Attossa, 

 much too narrow in skull and pinched in muzzle. Iu bitch 

 puppies I gave first to Sappho, just a fair specimen. 



BULL-TERRIERS. 

 Jubilee, looking well, had an easy win in the champion 

 dog class over Silver, who is lacking in bone and substance 

 In champion bitches, Maggie May had a walk over. In dogs 

 over 251 bs., Young Count won handily from Young Royal 

 Prince, who is much too thick in head. Body, legs and feet 

 good. Third was withheld for want of merit. Royal Dandy, 

 he, is just a fair specimen. Large size bitches was an extra 

 good class. Royal Rose, a new importation, was first. She 

 is a good bitch, the only fault I could find with her is being 

 slightly out at elbows. Marguerita, a good second, is a 

 sweet little bitch, but should be shown in the light-weight 

 class. She has good head and eye; body, legs and feet extra 

 good; tail a bit coarse. She is the best American-bred bull- 

 terrier I have yet seen. Duchess of York, third, is also a 

 good one; skull and eye extra good. She was shown rather 

 too fat. She has a butterfly nose, which will improve in 

 time. Countess, vhc, is a bit underhung, otherwise is a 

 pretty fair one. Light-weight dogs brough t out another new 



face in Rusher. He is rather too much on the white English 

 terrier order. Banjo pressed him rather close for first, " His 

 eye is rather too round; otherwise he is a good one. Third 

 was withheld. Spider, c, is just a fair one. In bitches, 

 Black Eye is not a show bull-terrier; I withheld the prize.- 

 In dog puppies there was nothing above the average. Bitch 

 puppies brought out a new face, Starlight. S&e is very 

 good in body, legs and feet; eye good and head fair. 



SCOTCH TERRIERS. 

 In dogs Lowrie Dunbar was alone; he has a capital head,, 

 good eye, very good body, legs and feet; coat would be better 

 if a little harder. I also gave him the special for the best 

 Scotch terrier in the show. In bitches first went to Rosie, 

 very good iu coat but not straight in front. Perth, second, 

 is a fair specimen. 



IRISH TERRIERS 

 were out in full force, nineteen entries, which is the largest 

 entry of this game breed ever made in America. The quality 

 was very good. Dennis, first, is quite a smart terrier, with 

 good hard coat and correct color, and is built on racing' 

 lines, with good head and eye. Evictor, second, is rather 

 too cobby for an Irish terrier, but has good color and good 

 coat, with a natural drop-ear, head rather short. Third,. 

 Breda Jim, is too large; coat fair, ears badly carried. Old 

 Garryowen, showing age, his mouth partly gone, was vhc. 

 In bitches Breda Tiny had an easy win. She is quite a good 

 bitch of the right sort and of correct size, Second went to 

 Poppy III., a fair terrier, but she has white on the breast. 

 Sheila, third, shows age. Gypsey Girl, equal third, is just 

 a fair .specimen. Puppies w T ere a poor lot. 



D AND IE DINMONT TERRIERS. 

 In the dog class Border Clinker was alone; he is a dog of 

 the correct type, with a good coat. Bitches had three entries. 

 Pansy was an easy winner, although handicapped by being 

 heavy in whelp; she has a grand head with well "domed 

 skull, body very good. Lady Wallace, second, is rather too 

 flat in skull, has a nice eye and good coat. Third went to 

 Pride of Leader; head too short, skull flat, body fair, coat 

 too soft. 



BEDLINGTON TERRIERS, 

 Tynesider II. had a walkover in the champion class. In 

 the open class for dogs or bitches Domino had an easy win. 

 Blue Bell, second, is too flat in skull; coat fair. 



BLACK AND TAN TERRIERS. 

 Vortex won handily; he is a very fair specimen. Desdemona,, 

 second, is good in coat, color and markings; eye too promi- 

 nent. Sir Wallace, third, is thick in skull. 



SKYE TERRIER*. 



In the dog class I gave Jim first. He is beginning to show 

 age, and was closely pressed for first place by Gladstone 

 Boy, who has a good head and coat. Claymore, third, is a 

 very fair drop-eared specimen with good coat of the right 

 texture. In bitches there were six entries, a very good class, 

 Susie, first, is quite a nice terrier of correct size with good 

 coat. Bessie, second, is a fair one. Kirkalia, a new face, 

 was taken from the ring by her handler before I had time 

 to thoroughly^ look her over, wdiich was an injustice to both 

 judge and exhibitor. Meg, he, is too short in back. 



YORKSHIRE TERRIERS. 



In dogs 51bs. and over the winner, Bradford Harry, is the 

 best one I have seen in this country, and should do 'a lot of 

 good at stud if bred to the right sort of bitches. Yorkshire 

 Ben was a good second. Jingo, third, is too light in color, 

 coat fair. Sandy, equal third, is also too light in color. Iu 

 bitches Dolly, first, has very nice coat, color too light. Floss, 

 second, good head, coat and color fair. In dogs under 51 bs.' 

 I gave Armande first; he has nice color and coat. Thei 

 bitches were a fair lot. 



TOT TERRIERS 



had eight entries. Nothing extra turned up in this class. 



KING CHARLES SPANIELS. 

 Milwaukee Charlie was the only entry in the champion < 

 class and was in good form. In open dogs, Prince, first, is a 

 nice colored one with good eyes and skull; he was an easy 

 first. Charlie, second, is too large and curly in coat. lii 

 bitches, Dolly, looking well, had a walk-over. 



BLENHEIM SPANIELS. 

 Exeter Earl, a fair specimen, was first in the dog class. Ia 

 bitches, Exeter Beauty, a very good one, was alone. 



PRINCE CHARLES, RUBY OR JAPANESE SPANIELS. 



I gave first to a very nice Prince Charlie, second and third 

 to two Japanese spaniels of good quality. 



WELSH TERRIERS 

 brought out two entries. First weut to Which; she is bet- 

 ter in head and eye than the dog, who was second. 



MISCELLANEOUS UNDER 25LBS. 

 I gave first to Dandy, a nice white English terrier, Halifax . 

 Joe was a good second. Third went to Tootsie, a very good 

 Chinese crested dog, and equal third to a Maltese terrier.
