FOREST AND STREAM. 



283 



Dr. Cryers exquisite tiny Dude won first without anv effort. 

 He is undoubtedly the best small pug yet bred in America. 

 Even the best dog has some "'outs,'' and Dude is approach- 

 ing the champion class in spite of his white nails, lack of 

 trace and faulty skull. Though somewhat apple-headed, 

 his cars are well hung and properly buttoned down, his 

 wrinkle in folds, stop deep, muzzle square and broad, coat 

 like velvet, tail tight, legs and feet better than those of his 

 sire. Second went, to Santa Olaus, good in size and style, 

 but carrying his ears too loosely. Sir George, third prize, is 

 a worthy son of old champion George, rather larger than 

 those above biin, and a bit low on the legs for so young a 

 dog. His markings were not so brilliant as they might be, 

 ears well carried but heavy, tail fair. Tom Thumb, vhc, is 

 small enough to merit his name; a dark stone fawn, well 

 built, rather loose in tail, pinched in muzzle, and carries 

 one ear too far out, Sam, vhc, a larger dog of good style 

 and markings, apricot fawn, doesn't always remember how 

 to hold his ears. Othello, vhc. r., well known, is a model in 

 so many respecs that his size can almost be forgiven. He 

 is too smutty in color, light in eye and large, tremendous in 

 wriuklej wonderfully short in face and tight in twist, but 

 his tail is too much over his back for perfection. A grand 

 good sire is he, as champion Bessie proved. The others of 

 the class hardly call for mention. Dawn was too thin. 

 Boots rather large, and Diamond would not show himself. 

 Class 150 (pug bitches) was small in numbers, but a good lot. 

 Vesta, first, is of the right size, true in build, showing 

 Othello's best points in ear, face and bone. Her kennel com- 

 panion, Myrtle, beat Tra-la-la for second place, because she 

 carried herself so much better. In Quality Tra-la-la is good 

 enough for anybody, though she lacks trace and is the least 

 bit apple-headed. But here she was out of sorts, shivering 

 and drooping, her tail down and her bearing anything but 

 happy and aiiy. Her half sister Alwah. a good bitch all 

 around, was out-classed here, and had to be content with 

 letters. Belle, and Juliet, respective! y too fat and too thin, 

 are pretty bitches, as is Judy; all should have shorter faces 

 and better ears. The puppy classes, containing only three 

 altogether, call for no special mention. There's plenty of 

 good material in America for producing the best pugs, that 

 is evident, if breeders will only study combination of the 

 sfrains carefully. Quality first, then quantity. As an Eng- 

 lish breeder once said to me, "If a pug ls'armonious, I don't 

 care if 'e weighs forty pounds.'' Of course, a good little one 

 is better than an equally good big one, however.

FOX-lERKlEfiS. 



The fox-terrier classes at Boston contained some good 

 specimens of the breed, but it was anything but a repre- 

 sentative show of the fox-terriers of America. In champion 

 dogs Belgrave Primrose was alone and looked first-rate, his 

 coat under Heald's care improves; he is a terrier-like little 

 dog, standing on rare good legs and feet, and has lots of 

 bone. In champion bitches Lyra, snipy in face, full in eye 

 and very wide in front, was" fairly beaten by Richmond 

 Olive, a bitch who wears wonderfully well; Heald has lately 

 shown her far fitter than he used to, as she carries less beef. 

 In the open dog class Baby Mixer, first, won easily, with 

 Reckoner second, and Luke, a dog I always liked, third; the 

 latter is coarse and too big, but a useful one. Reckoner, 

 were he straight would be a good little dog, but he is not, 

 and do all I would, I could not make him stand square. The 

 winner, Raby Mixer, is getting a little cheeky, but looked 

 very well, he has rattling legs and feet, good shoulders and 

 neck, beautiful ears, hut is a bit high on leg and would be 

 all the better for another rib. In the open bitch class Rich- 

 mond Dazzle won very easily; she is a good bitch, her head 

 is not perfection, and she is inclined to go wide in front, but 

 she is a most taking terrier and one that always makes the 

 most of herself. Fraulein Mixture (by Mixture out of Shame) 

 lacks boue and substance. Pluck is decidedly snipy, and 

 wants bone. Meersbrook Nan has a nasty soft coat." The 

 winner in the dog puppy class was a good one by Raby 

 Mixer out of Ji unty, and should he not get thick in front 

 will be heard of: his mouth is not perfect. A good-looking 

 sou of Mixture and Richmond Olive was second; he is just a 

 useful dog, and does not always carry his ears correctly but 

 he can, and did so in the ring; his brother Richmond'Tart 

 is too big and not right in front. Bitch puppies saw a couple 

 of fair ones first and second in Venetiana (by Venetian out 

 of Freya) and Olivette (by Mixture out of Richmond Olive). 

 The former is weak in jaw and wrong in front, while the 

 latter fault applies to Olivette. Wire-haired terriers, out- 

 side of the win uer, were as usual wretched. Rat Trap is a 

 good-looking terrier with nice ears, fair coat and stands well. 

 His head might be improved to advantage. Why don't 

 some of the fox-terrier men take hold of these dogs, and 

 help them along? Richmond Dazzle fairly beat Mixer for 

 the cup. Thomas Dawson, 



THE GARDEN CITY KENNEL CLUB. 



Editor Forest and Stream: 



At last Chicago has a kennel club which promises to be 

 worthy the name. At three o'clock Wednesday afternoon, 

 April 11, the twenty-five gentlemen assembled in the Leland 

 Hotel parlors were called to order by Mr. H. M. Joralman, 

 the prime mover in the enterprise, and Mr. Alexander Cook 

 elected chairman and Mr. J. B. Wickery clerk. The organ- 

 ization was begun by t he adoption of a name, and after some 

 discussion the new club was christened the Garden City Ken- 

 nel Club. It was voted to place the management of the club 

 in the hands of fifteen directors, which was done by the 

 election of the following gentlemen: Dr. George M. Chani- 

 berlin, Messrs. Heney Ives Cobb, Frank Floyd. Paul Morton, 

 .lohn E, Walsh, A, Montgomery Ward, Chas. B. Van Kirk, 

 Alexander Cook. Warren F. Leland, Francis M. Whitehouse, 

 W. H. Colcord, T. W. Fargo, W. E. Rothermel, W. F. Fox, 

 and R. P. H. Durkee. The directors then proceeded to the 

 election of the following officers: Henry Ives Cobb, Pres- 

 ident; Warren F. Leland, First Vice-President; R. P. H. 

 Durkee, Second Vice-President; John R. Walsh, Treasurer: 

 Frank Floyd, Secretary. After some discussion upon the 

 question of incorporation, and upou the feasibility of hold- 

 ing a bench show in the near future, both matters were re- 

 ferred to the board of directors for action. It is quite pro- 

 bable, however, that the club will give a bench show some 

 time in June. Chicago. 



AFRAID OF THUNDER. — Editor Forest and Stream: 

 I have a tine pointer dog well trained for field work, in fact 

 as near perfection under the gun as you can find, but he is 

 afraid of thunder and becomes very nervous and excited, put- 

 ing out his tongue and panting as he would after a run on a 

 very hot day, and when I let him in the house he will lie 

 down in some dark corner and tremble or shake as though 

 he was very cold. Will some of your readers give me in- 

 formation throueh the Forest and Stream as to the 

 cause?— F. [We have seen several instances of the kind in 

 dogs that were not in the least gun shy.]

 retary, Saratoga Springs, N. Y. 



COLLIE LOST— A cream colored collie dog nine months 

 old has recently been stolen. He has dark pink nose and 

 black lips. Any one knowing his whereabouts will confer 

 a favor by informing us. 



SAN FRANCISCISCO DOG SHOW. 



[Special report, to Forest und Stream.] 



r PHE inaugural show of the Pacific Kennel Club, held at 

 JL San Francisco on April 4, 5, li and 7, was one of the. best 

 conducted affairs of the kind which has taken place any- 

 where. The ample space on the floor of Mechanic's Pavilion 

 enabled the benching to be so arranged as to give plenty of 

 room bet ween the rows, and two la rge judging inclosures in 

 the center of the building finished off the show so far as ap- 

 pearance went. The arrangements were a decided surprise 

 to the thousands of visitors, many of whom expressed regret 

 that, they had not supported the show by entering their 

 dogs, which they had refrained from doing owing to past 

 experiences in this city. Dog exhibiting has received a 

 boom in this city and the result of the increased interest 

 engendered will be the immediate purchase of a number of 

 good dogs in the East and a decided improvement all-round 

 at the next show. The officials were painstaking and hard 

 working to a degree. Col. Stuart Taylor, the president of 

 the club, is well known by name to all, and personally to 

 many of the readers of Forest and Stre am as a gentleman 

 of eulightened experience. Mr. James E. Watson, the sec- 

 retary, is one of the right sort for his position and worked 

 as few meu would or could for the success of the, show. Mr, 

 J. F. Carroll left nothing to be desired in his work as super- 

 intendent, the dogs being well benched, exercised and fed, 

 and it has never been the writer's lotto visit a show, till this 

 one, of which it could truthfully be said that the smell of 

 "dog" could not be detected. Credit must also be given to 

 Dr. Bowhill, the veterinary surgeon. It is often considered 

 a merely complimentary office, but Dr. Bowhill had no such 

 idea and examiued and passed upon every dog before it was 

 benched, and also looked them over daily; the result was a 

 clear- bill of health. Mr. H. H. Briggs, of the Breeder and 

 S[)orfamo.v, prepared a good catalogue, which appeared in a 

 second edition with all the awards and absentees marked 

 on the margin. Mr. Briggs was of the executive committee, 

 and with Mr. Win. Schreiber. Dr. Toland and Mr. Adams, 

 also of that committee, devoted much time for the good of 

 the show. 



The judges were Air. John Davidson and Mr, James Wat- 

 sou, the former taking deerhounds, greyhounds, foxhounds, 

 beagles, pointers, setters and spaniels, and the latter the re- 

 mainder of the classes. 



The classification began as is usual, with mastiffs first, of 

 which there were five dogs. The winner, Dick, is a well- 

 built dog, with good legs and feet, and the right coat. Has 

 good girth of skull for his size, but falls away in front of the 

 eyes. Don is only passably good, and looked somewhat 

 tucked up. The others were not noticed. Actress, of Mr. V. 

 M. Haldcman's breeding, easily won in her class and took 

 two specials. This is a very nice bitch, a smutty face and 

 rather too much taper in muzzle detracts from her character, 

 but back of her head she is a hard one to beat. 



The St. Bernards numbered sixteen, but there were a lot 

 of them only St. Bernards by imagination, though the dozen 

 turned out of the ring as mongrels will, of course, figure in 

 (he "official" in company with Dukeof Leeds, Otho, Hector, 

 and the rest of the cracks. Judge won by condition, Bruce 

 being light in flesh and bad iu coat after a three months' 

 voyage. Judge is long and weak in head, but will improve 

 in that, respppt, as be is yet a puppy. Garcia is undersized, 

 of a bad color, and her bead is too small, otherwise she is 

 well built. Rector III. was the best headed dog of the breed, 

 but lacks size and carries his tail badly. 



The Newfoundlands were very poor, but Great Danes were 

 good. Cresar and Modoc were not far apart, but the former 

 showed a little more quality, while Modoc was wide in front 

 and slack in loin. Leo is a big, rangy bitch, weak in head. 



The two deerhound bitches were properly placed, Schula 

 1 1, being larger an 1 with a better head. 



Mr. Davidson had his work cut out in greyhounds. 

 Monarch is now past his prime as a show dog, and we pre- 

 ferred Sir William II. for first place as cleaner in neck and 

 shoulders, and not so wide iu chest. Jennie June won well 

 in bitches and got the special for the best grevhouud. The 

 foxhounds were well judged, the native dogs' being of the 

 black and tan bloodhound type. Pointers were voted good 

 classes, but Tom Pinch is not a dog that shows well. In the 

 ring he knuckles over and shows heavy in shoulders and 

 wide in front; for second we preferred Rush, who is better 

 behind the head than either Point or Rush T., both of 

 whom are slack in loin. The bitches were well judged, but 

 nearly all are faulty in length of coupling. Climax is a 

 good- bodied puppy, but is short and stumpy in head. The 

 winning puppies are good, and will be heard of again in 

 better company. 



The English' setters, while very even in quality, did not 

 include any flyers. Pilot was not well shown, looked light 

 and was short in coat. He is a dog that would get his three 

 letters in good competition, and as he was the best of the 

 breed here, the quality of the others may be best ascertained 

 in that way. 



Mike T. won easily in Irish setter dogs. He is verv coarse 

 in head, while Pat is coarse all over. Lady Elcho T.'did not 

 fill our eye as the model she was claimed to be. Her head, 

 while well shaped, looked too small, and there was a want 

 of style end finish about her so necessary to make a first- 

 class Irish setter. The 12-year-old Gordon setter Dorr was 

 first in his class and got the breed special, an award which 

 sufficiently describes the remainder of the exhibits after 

 saying that they were pretty close together in point of merit. 

 The water spaniels all showed good breeding, but with the 

 exception of Nellie and Julie, the field and cocker spaniels 

 were very poor. 



A poorer lot of collies could hardly be got together. The 

 climate doubtless deprives them of coat, but they were all 

 wrong in head and showed no breeding whatever. ' The two 

 dachshunde were good specimens of the small terrier type, 

 Mikado being better in crook. Beagles were not good; short 

 and thick in ear and weedy. Mr. Bassford'swere not shown 

 well. The retrievers were far too liberally treated in the 

 way of prizes, for Roy, only passably good, was alone worthy 

 of a prize. The others were black dogs with every variety 

 of coat. Bull-terriers were mainly of the fightiug stamp. 

 A thick-headed white dog got second in his class and Kittle 

 beat a nice bitch in Olivette. 



Sly Mixture, whose claims are well-known to Eastern ex- 

 hibitors, won first in fox-terrier dogs and a new arrival from 

 England. Daisy, took first in her class and the breed special. 

 The classes were well filled but there were a lot of pricked 

 ears about. The Skyes. Scotch and Yorkshires were a 

 mixed company, Mash, the Yorkshire, being the only one of 

 decided breeding. Jappy is a fair Japanese spaniel, and the 

 best pug was the bitch Queen. An Esquimaux won in the 

 miscellaneous class wuth a black Pomeranian second. The 

 list of awards is as follows:

LOSS OF FEATHKR.-Editor Fo-rest and Stream: D 

 you not think, that allowance should be made by indues fo 

 scanty or ragged feathering in dogs that have been worke 

 in the held ? It seems most unjust that a dog who has tor 

 out his feathering 111 honest work should suffer when com 

 petiug with "carpet knights," dogs who are not allowed to 

 do anytmng that would injure their precious feather from 

 one year s end to the other. It is well known that if a doc 

 has been worked in the fall his feather does not come in 

 well in the following spring, the show season, and he is set 

 back and detractmgly criticised in consequence. Can noth- 

 ing be done to mitigate this injustice, for injustice it cer- 

 tainly is? I am glad to see that New Haven and Baltimore 

 have created a precedent for the giving of second champion 

 prizes, and wish them success in the new departure Bv the 

 way will you take pity on my iguorance and inform me 

 what an ^lnsh Field Spaniel" is? I notice that a special 

 prize is offered for the best dog or bitch of that breed at the 

 Baltimore show.— Cee.
