MANITOBA FIELD TRIALS. 



[Special Report.l 



THE second annual field trials of the Manitoba Field Trial 

 Club took place at Morris, 42 miles southwest of Winni- 

 peg. The trials commenced on Tuesday morning. Sept. 6, 

 and were finished on Thursday morning by 10 o'clock. Birds 

 were numerous and lay well to the dogs. Mr. W. B. Wells, 

 of Chatham, Out., was judge; and to him is principally due 

 the quickness in which the trials were got through. At 6:30 

 A. M., he would give out the night previous, the first brace 

 must be down— and he meant it— or would put down the 

 next brace. The committee furnished him with horse and 

 rig to ride, but he preferred walking, keeping the handlers 

 close to him, one on each side. He gave an exhibition of his 

 pedestrian abilities in the heat with Paddy and Fanny M. 

 Paddy was seen on a point fully a half mile away. The 

 handler of Paddy (Mr. Thos. Johnson) prides himself on his 

 running powers, although his weight is SSOlbs, Seeing 

 Paddy on a point, off he went at a four-minute gait and the 

 judge after him. After a short distance had been traversed 

 the judge got even with him. Nothing was said between 

 them, but from the manner they were going each had evi- 

 dently made up his mind to ''get there." The terrific speed 

 was maintained for about a quarter of a mile, when the 

 weight began to tell on the handler. He was noticed to 

 wobble somewhat similar to a dog with a "slack loin." 

 Paddy was now drawing on his birds, which meant a flush 

 unless his handler could get up in time to steady him. See- 

 ing this he made a last desperate effort, but the pace had 

 been too hot, and down he went. The judge magnanimously 

 stopped and tried to assist him to his feet, but there lay a 

 solid 2201bs. of helplessness, which was too much for the 

 judge in his breathless condition to lift up. He tried to en- 

 courage him by saying "Come on, or Paddy will flush." 

 "Let him flush!" gasped the handler, which Paddy did. 



The Derby was run first and was won by C. A. Boxer's 

 Duck (Dime— Forest If.). The Manitoba Kennels taking 

 second, third, and fourth prizes with Morris, Birtle and 

 Gretna. The Derby entries were not a brilliant lot; this is, 

 however, not to be wondered at when only six days before 

 the trials you can shoot game in Manitoba, consequently 

 they lacked experience. 



THE DERBY.— ENTRIES. 

 C. N. Williams's Gordon setter dog Kildonan (Turk — 



h os. Johnson's pointer bitch Birtle (Croxteth — Bella). 

 Thos. Johnson's setter dog Morris (Cable— Bredna).

Morris won second. 



Birtle won third. 



Gretna won fourth. 



The interest centered in the All-Aged Stake for pointers 

 and setters. The entries were as follows: 

 ALL-AGED STAKE. 



Manitoba Kennels' English setter bitch Manitoba Belle 

 (Pride of Dundee— Jeanette). 



C. W. Armstrong's white and black English setter bitch 

 Flirt A. (Dan— Qu'Appelle Belle).

 Dolly). 



Dr. W. M. Evan's English setter dog Pedro (Cambridgi 

 Belle).

 (Rocketer — Manitoba Belle). 



Geo. Tempest's liver and white pointer dog Saskatchewan 

 (Bang Bang— Phoebe). 



H. Gait's orange and white setter dog Swift (Dan— 

 Qu'Appelle Belle). 



D. Smith's orange and white setter bitch Fannie M. 

 (Count Noble— Prairie Belle). 



Major Bedson's black and tan setter dog Shot (Dan- 

 Lilly). 



Thos. Johnson's orange and white English setter dog Dash 

 B. (Dash Bryson— Lucy). 



SUMMARY. 



First Series. 

 Manitoba Belle beat Flirt A. 



Hu'Apelle Belle beat Bert, 

 ambria beat Shot. 

 Paddy beat Fannie M. 

 Dash B., a bye. 



Second Series. 

 Qu'Appelle Belle beat Dash B. 

 Cambria beat Paddy. 

 Manitoba Belle, a bye. 



Third Series. 

 Qu'Appelle Belle beat Manitoba Belle. 

 Cambria a bye. 



(Cambria ran a side heat tinder A. F. T. Club's new rules 

 while the two Belles were running. This rule did not work 

 very well in this case, as it made Cambria have to run three 

 heats in succession.) 



Final for First Prize. 



Cambria beat Qu'Appelle Belle and won first. 



A test heat was now run with Paddy and Shot, as to which 

 should run with Qu'Apelle Belle for second place. 



Final for Second Prize. 



Shot beat Paddy. 



Qu'Appelle Belle beat Shot and won second. 



This gave first prize, a W. W. Greener gun and $50 cash by 

 the club, also the championship collar for the year, 

 to Thomas Johnson's blue belton English setter bitch 

 Cambria, by Cambridge (Gladstone — Clip) out of Pet Laver- 

 ack (Thunder— Peeress). Second prize, a $50 silver cup and 

 $25 cash by the club, to C. A. Boxer's black, white and tan 

 English setter bitch Qu'Appelle Belle, by Mark J. (Druid- 

 Star) out of Betsy (Ranger ll.— Princess Belle). Third prize, 

 a breecbloading gun and $10 to Manitoba Kennels' English 

 setter bitch Manitoba Belle (Pride of Dundee— Jeanette). 

 Fourth prize, a Vulcan stove, to C.W. Armstrong's English 

 setter bitch Flirt A. (Dan— Qu'Appelle Belle). 



The championship collar is a very handsome one, being 

 made from the first silver taken from the Rabid Mountain 

 Silver Mine. It consists of eleven solid silver links, 2in. 

 square, each link engraved with portraits of celebrated dogs, 

 Gladstone being the central one, also Bang Bang, the 

 pointer, and hunting views. It has to be won two years in 

 succession to become the property of the winner. The win- 

 ner of this collar, Cambria, is no'disgrace to her noted grand- 

 sires, old champion Gladstone and champion Thunder, being 

 a fine upstanding bitch , with tremendous speed, going at 

 her game straight, and looking about twice her size when on 

 one of her stylish points. Mr. L. H. Smith, of Strathroy, 

 Ont., who was present, pronounced her one of the grandest 

 bitches he ever saw. 



The winner of second, Qu'Appelle Belle, is a black, white 

 and tan. compact little setter, and winner of this prize last 

 year. She has a splendid nose, is very staunch and stylish 

 on point, but lacks that "get there" vim and dash of the 

 winner. 



Manitoba Belle, winner of third, is a very handsome lemon 

 belton and tan bitch, winner of the Eastern Field Trials 

 Club medal at Madison Square Garden this year. She is a 

 grand bitch in the field, and beat herself by her extreme 

 jealousy of the other dogs. Later in the season she would 

 keep Cambria hustling. 



Flirt A, winner of fourth, is a black, white and tan bitch, 

 and will make the best of them look to their laurels an- 

 other year, being one of the most stylish roaders your corre- 

 spondent ever saw. 



At the conclusion of the trials the judge and visitors were 

 invited to stay over for a shoot, the winning dogs being 

 placed at their service, A fusilade was kept up for a couple 

 of days, when the party returned to town loaded with game, 

 everybody satisfied, even the losers, but with a grim deter- 

 mination and a look in the eye that plainly said, "Look out 

 for me next year." Manitoba. 



SPANIELS FOR BENCH AND FIELD. 



Editor Forest, and Stream: 



Is it not time that the cocker breeders of America were 

 making a move to decide what is to be our standard for 

 breeding ? Are we to have one type of cocker for the field and 

 another type for the bench? There is no doubt that we are 

 fast drifting away from the English standard. Is this wise? 

 To be sure there is no reason why we should hold to hard and 

 fast rules because they are laid down by our brother fanciers 

 in the "Old Country," but decidedly it is time we took some 

 steps in this matter, either to draw back before it is too late 

 ana breed our dogs up to the English standard, or to adopt 

 another for ourselves that we may all have one object in 

 view, and discarding all not approaching this standard from 

 our breedi ng kennels, thus raise the cocker of this country 

 to a level with other standard sporting dogs. At present we 

 are "a house divided against itself," and we are sure to come 

 to grief sooner or later. The first question to decide and the 

 one on which there is the greatest diversity of opinion is that 

 of height in proportion to the length of the body. Are we to 

 breed dogs for the bench that will be next to worthless in 

 the field, or are we to have two distinct varieties— and we 

 are fast drifting that way — one for show purposes and 

 another for working ? 



A controversy was commenced in your columns by Mr. 

 Charleswortk's attack upon a Detroit gentleman, because 

 the latter undertook to praise the qualities of a rival breed- 

 er's dogs. Surely the gentleman in question had a right to 

 express his opinion and if it savored too much of the "ad.," 

 it was for you to decide. If he lauded this type and a cer- 

 tain breeder he did not do it at the expense of any one else. 

 A discussion opened with so much evident ill feeling can do 

 no good — rather the reverse. What we want is the fair and 

 honest opinion of breeders who have had some experience, 

 given coolly and not written on the spur of the moment or in 

 a temper because we imagine some one has "tread on the 

 tail of me coat" and in a "knock the chip from my shoulder" 

 style. If our breeders will open up through your columns a 

 discussion on the subject and treat it in as friendly a man- 

 ner as the one going on at present on "Beagles for Bench 

 and Field," I guarantee that the American Spaniel Club will 

 awaken from its lethargy and we will in the end get a stand- 

 ard to breed to that will be satisfactory to all parties and 

 one that our judges will stick to; but as long as judges 

 recognize and award the highest honors to dogs that cannot 

 work — and I guarantee that few of our prize winners would 

 stand many days hard running on the stubble or in the 

 brush — there w'ill necessarily be dissatisfaction. I have to 

 plead guilty to breeding these short-legged cockers, but why; 

 simply because our judges recognize them, and until some 

 rule is given to go by, who can say they are wrong, and as 

 long as they continue to breed them, "for we might as well 

 be out of the world as out of fashion," but at the same time 

 I shall be glad to see a change. 



To satisfy myself as to the opinion of the majority of our 

 breeders, I have lately taken upon myself to send to them a 

 copy of the inclosed circular and scale for measurement, to 

 be returned. These are coming in slowly, but those already 

 received show the difference of their views and the necessity 

 for a fixed mark at which to aim in our breeding. For in- 

 stance, the length from stop to root of tail and the height at 

 shoulder vary all the way from 28in. and lOin. to 25in. and 

 14in. Now, there must be a great difference in two dogs cor- 

 responding to these measurements. Many have not yet 

 returned the scale, and I beg them, through your columns, 

 to do so; others who may not have received the forms will 

 confer a favor by making out a form and forwarding it, and 

 as a result I hope to furnish some interesting memoranda 

 collected in this way, but cannot do so until I get a larger re- 

 turn. I would not ask them to fix the standard at either of 

 the extremes I have given, but to strike a happy medium 

 that will give us a strong, hardy little fellow, which is at 

 the same time beautiful to the eye. I wish some of our 

 breeders would give their opinions; but please do not jump 

 down my throat because I have ventured to open my mouth. 



Another point on which we differ from the English 

 standard is the amount of feather. The latter says, "Suffi- 

 cient feather of the right sort * * * but not too profuse," 

 while our present guide reads, "ears well clothed with long 

 silky hair; chest, legs and tail well feathered." There is no 

 doubt that the very abundant feather makes a handsomer 

 appearing dog, but is it not a drawback in the field? Here 

 again we must decide, are they to be sporting or bench dogs, 

 for do not our judges give the first places to those dogs- 

 other points being equal — which have the longest and most 

 abundant feathering? 



Now, we have a spaniel club and it is their place to regu- 

 late these things, but by all means let us hear the opinion of 

 all our fanciers. Chas. M. Nelles. 



Branteord, Canada, Sept. 8. 



[COPY OF CIRCULAR.] 



Brantford, Sept. 1, 1887.— Dear Sir: In order to get the 

 views of the various breeders of cockers in the country as to 

 the proper height, etc., I take the liberty of asking you to 

 fill out the inclosed form and forward it to me. In giving 

 the measurements kindly have in view what you consider to 

 be a "typical cocker." I would also be much pleased if you 

 would add any remarks that you consider essential or 

 appropriate in view of the much-talked-of question of bench 

 vs. working cockers. Hoping that I am not trespassing too 

 much on your time, believe me, yours sincerely, Chas. M. 

 Nelles.

DEATH OF FAUST.— The well-known pointer dog Faust 

 died recently in St. Louis. He was whelped in May, 1875, 

 and imported from England by the St. Louis Kennel Club 

 in 1879. He was a grand dog, both on the bench and in the 

 field,, and has left a large number of descendants to perpetu- 

 ate his memory. 



THE ST. PAUL SHOW. 



ST. PAUL, Minn., Sept. 17.— The first show of the St. Paul 

 and Minnesota Kennel Club was held here Sept. 13 to 16. 

 The club scored a great success. The entries numbered 355. 

 The St. Paul papers were friendly to the show and did much 

 to boom it. A good attendance paid in so much gate money 

 that the exhibition was a financial success. This is encour- 

 aging, and the club are in for another exhibition next year. 

 All did their share, but Supt. Chas. Weil deserves a big lot 

 of the credit. His duties were multifarious, but he never 

 for a moment lost his head. Everything was done when it 

 ought to be done ; and as it ought to be done. The exhibi- 

 tors appreciated his work, and got up a generous purse as a 

 testimonial. 



The dogs were well cared for. The olfactories of the 

 visitors had due regard, and no bad smells offended the 

 most fastidious. Everything went smoothly. It was just 

 as if St. Paul had had a bench show every year since bench 

 shows were known. But public interest was of the sort 

 given to novelties. They did not get enough of the show in 

 the time allotted, so it was held over until this afternoon. 



The judges were John Davidson, Monroe, Mich., for 

 pointers, setters, foxhounds, greyhounds, deerhounds, bea- 

 gles, dachshunde, Irish water spaniels, Chesapeakes, Scotch. 

 Dan die Dinmont and Skye terriers; and J. F. Kirk, Toronto, 

 Can., all other classes. No dissatisfaction was expressed 

 with the awards; there was no "kicking,"
