Constitution.— Art. I. The words "of America" were 

 added to the title that the scope of the club might be under- 

 stood as including Canada. 



Art. II. An amendment adding "to protect the interests 

 of breeders" was proposed, but not adopted, as it might 

 suggest an antagonism which does not exist. 



Art, III, An initiation fee of £5 in addition to the $5 

 annual dues was talked of, but not adopted, because an ex- 

 action of $10 might discourage membership. 



Art. IV. The most noteworthy change here is the pro- 

 vision that the officers shall be chosen by the executive com- 

 mittee from among its members. Thus while the executive 

 committee is elected by the members at large, it is wisely 

 iutrusted with the election of its own officers. The mail 

 vote (Sec. 2) erives every member, whether present or not, his 

 own individual re presentation. 



Art. VI. The months chosen for the six meeting were 

 those in which, it was thought, there would be most occasion 

 for the services of the committee in adjusting questions 

 which might arise at the shows. 



Art. VII. This article was very carefully considered, and 

 the intentifiu was to make a rule here which should insure 

 the fair representation of the entire membership in making 

 any alterations, so that no obnoxious rule could ever be 

 adopted by a clique. 



Show ParLEs.— II. It was suggested that the color must 

 be included in the details of description given in entries, but 

 this was not adopted, it being held that a precise color de- 

 scription w T as in many instances too difficult to give. 



III. A change of wording without any change of the in- 

 tended meaning. 



VII. There was much discussion of this rule. While the 

 authority it gives was recognized as highly important, it was 

 also urged that it gives show managers power to vent their 

 personal spite and gratify piques. One case was related 

 where an exhibitor of prizes had written on the entry blank 

 of one of his dogs a statement that he wished the club con- 

 cerned would give more valuable prizes in that class. The 

 show managers took offense at this, and returned alibis 

 entries. As a remedy for such child's play as this, it was 

 proposed that the show managers should be required to give 

 their reason in writing; this, on appeal to be approved by a 

 committee appointed from the executive committee of the 

 National Dog Club. After discussion , however, the rule was 

 left as originally worded; and it was suggested that man- 

 agers giving shows under these miles would not be likely to 

 provoke the displeasure of theNational Dog Club by injustice 

 in this matter. 



There was much discussion of Rule VIII. It was the 

 general sentiment that show managers should be compelled 

 to employ competent veterinaries, but the rule as adopted 

 was so worded as not to work any hardship to the smaller 

 shows. A judge may at times be better able than the veter- 

 inary to detect faking (Rule XII.), but it was urged that 

 only in very remote contingencies would a veterinaryventure 

 to give his written opinion conflicting with that of the 

 judges. 



Rule XIII. The secretary had received a letter from a 

 member urging that judges should be compelled to award 

 the prizes in all classes where there were any entries; but it 

 was held that the rule was a wise one, and 'it was retained. 



Rule XIV. was adopted as an important innovation, which 

 will give every exhibitor an opportunity to protect himself 

 against having an unwelcome judge forced on him. While 

 a judge might feel offended at such withdrawal, it was 

 thought more important to look out for the interest of the 

 exhibitor than for the feelings of the judge.

BEAUFORT. 



THE death of the well-known pointer dog Beaufort is a 

 misfortune not only to his owner, but to the pointer 

 breeder as well. We have often said that Beaufort was the 

 best of his breed in this country, and we have never heard a 

 good judge of pointers dispute the fact. He was not only 

 king of the bench, but was a good fielder as well, and as a 

 stud dog his get prove that he had very few equals. That 

 he was not more extensively bred to is to be regretted. 



We first saw Beaufort at the Washington show in 1883, 

 and were greatly impressed with his many good qualities, 

 but it was not until we had opportunity to compare him 

 with other good dogs that we became convinced that he 

 had no peer. Although he was a. very handsome and taking 

 looking dog, his excellence was most apparent when he was 

 placed beside a worthy competitor and the two were care- 

 fully compared point by point. We shall never forget his 

 battle royal with Graphic at Newark, in 1886. We had cur- 

 sorily examined the latter and half believed that he would 

 be the winner, but when we placed them side by side and 

 very carefully compared their merits we found somewhat to 

 our surprise that Beaufort was the better dog at nearly 

 every important noint. When Beaufort was first shown at 

 Washington his owner, Mr. C. H. Nixon, offered to sell him 

 for $500. 



Wishing to see so good a dog brought out in public in a 

 manner commensurate with his merits, we advised a mem- 

 ber of the Westminster Kennel Club to purchase him, but 

 the price was thought to be too high and the negotiations 

 fell through. He was afterward purchased by Mr. Charles 

 H, Mason, who paid $1,000 for him, the largest price, at that 

 ti me, ever paid for an American-bred pointer. That so good 

 a judge of the breed as Mr. Mason should pay so large an 

 amount for a single specimen is ample proof that the dog 

 was worthy the high honors he won. "Love me, love my 

 dog," in this instance at least, was proven to be a good rule, 

 as it worked both ways, and hate me, hate my dog, appears 

 to have been the case among those who disliked the owner 

 of Beaufort for his outspoken and straightforward course in 

 dog matters. On account of personal animosity toward his 

 owner the dog was vilified, and it was regarded in some 

 quarters as little less than a crime to breed to him, and it 

 was mainly for this reason that he was not more extensively 

 used for stud purposes. 



Beaufort was sold last spring to Mr. Mitchell Harrison, of 

 the Chestnut Hill Kennel, and it is to be hoped that he will 

 succeed in securing in the. get of the grand old dog some- 

 thing approaching him in merit. Beaufort was a white and 

 liver dog, handsomely marked and ticked, weighing about 

 671bs. when in good condition. He was bred by Prof. W. W. 

 Legare, Walhalla, S. O, and was by champion Bow and out 

 of Beulah, a full sister to the well-known champion Rush. 

 His winnings are: First Washington, 1883. First and special 

 for best pointer, best large pointer and best sporting dog New 

 Haven; first and special for best large pointer Philadelphia; 

 champion and special for best pointer National Breeders' 

 Show, 1884. First and special for best large pointer Phila- 

 delphia (May); champion and special for best pointer, best 

 large pointer, one of brace and one of kennel Toronto, 1885. 

 Champion and special for best pointer Newark; champion and 

 specials for best pointer, large pointer and handsomest pointer 

 or setter that has run at field trials New Haven, 1886. Cham- 

 pion and specials for best pointer and pointer dog Boston, 

 1887. Champion and special for best pointer dog Philadel- 

 phia; champion and specials for best pointer and stud 

 dos Boston, 1888. He was also the "runner up" in the 

 Pointer Stakes of the Eastern Field Trials Club, 1885. 



Many of his get ha ve proved his worth as a sire both by 

 their performances in the field and on the bench. The many 

 admirers of the grand old dog will learn of his death with 

 regret, and will, we are sure, deeply sympathize with Mr. 

 Harrison in his loss.

THE SOUTHERN FIELD TRIAL CLUB. 



Editor Forest and Stream: 



Major Renfroe states in his communication, which ap- 

 peared in your last issue, that I have written private letters 

 to parties asking them not to enter dogs in the trials of the 

 Southern Field Trial Club. I have not written a letter to 

 any one regarding entries for the Southern Field Trial Club 

 in any way, shape or form, nor have I discussed the subject 

 with any one personally; and I defy Major Renfroe to pro- 

 duce a letter or an individual to controvert my statement. 

 Moreover, I have not asked, either by letter or personally, 

 directly or indirectly, an entry for any other club.

DEATH OF FROST.— Lynchburg, Va., July 5.— Editor 

 Forest and Stream : It is with great sadness I announce the 

 death of old Frost, which occurred this morning. She was 

 twelve years and four months old, gentle, affectionate and 

 obedient and with rare intelligence for a dog, she endeared 

 herself to my entire household, white and colored, and we 

 all regret the loss.— W. S. Strother, 



STANDARDS FOR JUDGING— Forest and Stream's 

 compilation of the "Standards and Points for Judging all 

 Breeds of Dogs" is very complete in the new enlarged edition . 

 It gives all the Stonehenge standards and all the standards 

 adopted by the specialty clubs. The price is 50 cents. 



THE MASTIFF BALDUR.— Editor Forest and Stream: 

 Rev. Father Van Doorne advises me that the mastiff Baldur 

 was whelped on May 16, 1887, that the entry in the Agricul- 

 tural Hall Show of May 10, is a printer's error.— W. Wade, 

 (Hulton, Pa., July 2). 



SYRACUSE DOG SHOW.— Syracuse, N. Y., July 7.— 

 Editor Forest and Stream: The Syracuse Kennel Club 

 claim the dates of Sept. 18, 19, 20 and 21, 1888, for their first
