bis ears are not well carried generally. The Letter Press 

 gave a very intelligent criticism on this dog in its Boston 

 report. Tt nssitmed a wise look and gravely told its readers 

 that Cupid won first, 



MISCELLANEOUS. 



Pin, a second-rate Airedale terrier, very defective in head, 

 was first, and Spot, an indifferent smooth-coated sheep dog, 

 second. Spot would have to be improved considerably in 

 head, ears and in limbs before he could beat a good one. 

 Zorah, entered as a "Great Dame," is an under-sized, splay- 

 footed flat-catcher — not a show dog in any point, Mr. Cugle. 

 Which and T'other, a couple of Welsh terriers, were first 

 and third in the light-weight class. Which is much the 

 better in head, ears and in coat. Lady Jane, a Prince 

 Charles spaniel, was second. She is too long in fore-face, 

 not first-rate in skull and lacks compactness of body— a 

 second-rater. Charles H. Mascw.

Nevison was uracil inferior in type, but that Creole was in 

 the worst condition. I remember seeing the trail in the 

 sawdust of the ring left by her teats dragging. I must do 

 the judge the justice of saying that he preferred Creole 

 vastly as far as type went, but the difference in condition 

 was so immense that he had to give it to Nevison, Creole 

 was the truest of mastiffs, everything that one should be, 

 with a real mastiff head and legs and a far truer mastiff 

 than most of the cracks of to-day. 



Mr. Mason makes the great mistake of setting up the 

 present fashion of extremely short face as "mastiff type." 

 Say that it is present fashion and no great harm is done, but 

 say that it is apositive characteristic of the breed, and original 

 in them, and it is complete rot, and cannot be sustained by 

 a shred of evidence. Even such a devotee of short face, and 

 so learned an antiquarian as Mr. Wynn, failed completely in 

 establishing this, and by his quotation of Mr. Thompson's 

 opinion of Peeress proves the contrary, as she was decidedly 

 of the long-faced order as compared with modern fashion. 



It is difficult to imagine a nobler picture than the photo 

 of Colonel shows, yet this photo scales the head at ISin. 

 Iour. with a muzzle of 4.2in. to a skull of T.8in.. and the 

 dog really measured 4>^in. in muzzle to T^in. skull, and 

 such a dog winning now would raise a howl to take the roof 

 off the show building. 



Fire away, gentlemen, with your worship of snub noses, 

 but mark my words; in five years the weathercock will veer 

 roundtoits old position, and Colonel, Turk, Nichols's Prince, 

 Wolsey, etc.. will be mastiffs, not Crown Prince, Orlando, 

 etc. Then I will have the laugh on you, and until then I 

 can wait. W, WADE.

H ARTFORD DOG SHOW NEXT YEAR.— Editor Forest 

 and Stream: Mr. Wade says in Forest and Stream, "When 

 will Providence and Hartford give another show-"' As Mr. 

 Wade is fond of betting, I will wager his u^ual stake (a 

 rotten apple against a rotten potato) that Hartford gives a 

 show in '89. As you do not in any case hold forfeits we will 

 arrange for another stakeholder. Trusting that your cor- 

 respondent will not "back water" I shall be happy to make 

 such arrangements as will be sure to please him.— A. C. Col-

AMERICAN FIELD TRIAL CLUB.— Cincinnati, O.. 

 April 23, 1888.— Editor Forest and Stream: At a special 

 meeting of the American Field Trial Club held on Saturday, 

 April 21, it was decided not to run any Derby this year.— C.

 to the fact that those who join before May 1 will be admitted 

 without payment of dues. 



"COLONEL BLOOD" IN MASTIFFS. 



Editor Forest and Strerirn: 



I must dissent from Mr. Mason's note of warning to mas- 

 tiff breeders against the blood of the late Colonel. His 

 breeding was not fashionable in the sense of having many 

 distinguished animals closely connected with it, but it 

 comes in direct lines from many famous dogs, like H an- 

 bury' s Prince, Exley's "Victor, etc. As a sire, his value is 

 found in the third and fourth generation, and it is a fact 

 that very few modern mastiffs of note are not his great 

 grandchildren: Orlando, Hotspur, Rosalind. The Lady Isa- 

 bel, etc., are out of his granddaughter; Jack Thyr, the sensa- 

 tional winner under Dr. Turner at the last K. C. show, 

 (where he beat Ilford Chancellor, Cambrian Princess, Vic- 

 tor Hugo, etc) is out of his granddaughter; Idalia, dam 

 of Ilford Coroner, Debonair, Prince Imperial, etc. and Brenda 

 Secunda, dam of Mr. Cook's crack, Ilford Chancellor, are 

 by his son, Twining's Turk. That wonderful puppy of Mr. 

 Edwin Nichols', Dictator, that pushed the dogs in the open 

 class very hard when he was less than a year old, was 

 by his son, Young Colonel; Beaufort is out of his grand- 

 daughter, and so on throughout the chapter. I have not 

 specially referred to pedigrees for tins, but simply quote 

 from memory those that I can recall. Nor do I think that 

 Mr. Mason's' statement that Colonel never got a good one, 

 can be supported. Negress came well within that class, and 

 was the dam of such good ones as The Lady Rowena, 

 Crown Princess, etc., and it is not possible that one can run 

 across his name at every turn, in pedigrees, and the dog's 

 blood be a bad factor. Mr. Mason writes of Ilford Coroner 

 being a rare bred oue, yet his dam is Idalia, who was by a 

 son of Colonel. It will not do to assume that because a 

 dog's ancestors are of unknown breeding, his blood is bad. 

 Idalia and Brenda Secunda are cases in point; their stud 

 book pedigree is of the most shadowy character, but after 

 a long and widely extended search, it has been cleared up 

 and is as complete as that of Orlando or Beaufort. 



Without wishing to detract from Ilford Caution's value 

 as a stud dog. I must dissent from the statement that he is 

 the best we have. Sears's Monarch is a case in point, as I 

 cannot remember of ever seeing such an improvement on 

 the dam as he shows. In every point where she is weak he 

 is particularly strong. I have in mind another case of just 

 the same character, but am not at liberty to mention names. 

 This is the test of a stud dog's value, not what dogs he gets 

 from good bitches, but what he gets from poor ones. I must 

 also dissent from the statement that Caution was the first 

 real mastiff we ever imported; Prince Waldemar, out of a 

 daughter of Colonel, and Loma Doone, were the truest of 

 mastiffs, barring being a bit undersized, aud many years 

 since we imported the best dog of the King litter, and King 

 was the great dog of his day, 

 As to Nevison and Creole, Mr. Mason forgets that there 



was no question of type there; jt was simply a matter of 



condition, and I think all hands agreed with the judge that

KENNEL MANAGEMENT. 



|W No Notice Taken of Anonymous Correspondents. 



S. R. B., Kinsman, Ohio.— I have a friend here that has a tine 

 English foxhound, about 18mos. old, that has an enlargement of 

 the neck. This first appeared early in the winter. It commences 

 about 2in. below his jaw and runs down about 4in. on either side 

 of the windpipe. The swelling is nearly lin. thick in the middle. 

 Are such swellings common in dogs of this breed'.- Wnat would 

 cause it? He has a heavy loud voice and barks a good deal while 

 hunting. Ans. It looks like enlargement of the thyroid gland. 

 You may give. lOgrs. of iodide of potash morning and evening in 

 water. Also have an examination made by a veterinary or 

 doctor.
