BENCHERS AND FIELDERS. 



Editor Forest and Stream: 



Writers in the different sportsmen's papers throughout 

 the country are continually casting slurs upon what they 

 style "benchers," etc., and leading uninformed persons to 

 infer that a prize winner at a bench show is about as useless 

 in the field as a stuffed dog, or to put it as one owner of a 

 prize winner some time ago wrote, 'As if he was taking a 

 brass statue through the country to win prizes." This, as 

 any well-informed man knows, is most uujust to the prize 

 winners. Let us just notice some of our bench show winners. 

 Of course I refer to sporting dogs. To begin with pointers, 

 the great Beaufort, despite his misfortune (as our anti-bench 

 show man would style it) of being "champion of the world," 

 was good enough to win a place at the Eastern Field Trials. 

 Champion Graphic is also weighted with many a prize; but 

 he managed to win all his heats until drawn. Robert le 

 Diable is a champion on the bench and in the field. Naso of 

 Kippen is a fine field dog, as his record shows. Bang Bang 

 is also guilty of winning on the bench. Sensation was a field 

 dog. Bradford and Tammany have won in field trials. 



Then take English setters. Foreman is a champion on 

 bench and in field. Plantagenet won heats when run in the 

 E. F. T. C. Rockingbani, I believe, is a good fielder. Roval 

 Albert is entered for the field trials this year: Royal Prince 

 II. also, Paul Gladstone has a double record. Champion 

 Mandan won a place at, the Manitoba Trials. Every one 

 knows Gladstone's record. London could win in field or 

 ring. The great Roderigo can get into money on the bench; 

 Gus Bondhu also. Cora of Wetheral is entered for the trials 

 this fall. Poor Dido II. was a fielder. Lillian can win on 

 the bench. The Irish setter champion Chief is a trial win- 

 ner. I believe Tim is a good field dog. 



Irish water spaniels I do not know about, although one 

 prominent exhibitor of them claimed that his were "non- 

 sporting" dogs when he saw a chance of winning a special. 



In Clumber spaniels, Johnny is a worker that is bad to 

 beat, and Drake runs him close. Judy was a capital field 

 dog. Mr. Pier's Clumbers can win on the bench, and they 

 are noted for their field qualities. Ben w r as a perfect field 

 dog, and Joan has had many a day in covert. The field 

 spaniel champion Black Prince is a splendid worker. The 

 cocker Hornell Silk is styled "champion field spaniel of 

 America" by default. Obo II., I believe, is a fielder. Obo, Jr. 

 cau do a day's work. 



Mr. Cook's pack of foxhounds make a clean sweep when 

 shown, yet they are said to be as good as they look. 



The. beagles Cameron's Racket, Bannerman and Trailer 

 can do good work. Memnon has a double record. 



I trust no one will accuse me of not mentioning this dog 

 or that, as I have merely dotted down names of those that I 

 thought of while writing and know to be field dogs, although 

 guilty of receiving honors at bench shows. ' C. 



MASTIFFS. 



Editor Forest and Stream: 



The following from Mr. R. A. Craig is too good to be lost, 

 and with his kind permission I send it to you: "Our ken- 

 nels are on the shore of a lake near a village of 2,000 inhabi- 

 tants. Lately there have been several petty burglaries. 

 About a week ago the kennelman heard a great noise; the 

 dogs had burst the doors open (Phaedra, Persephone, Corsair 

 and Vixen). He opened the window, and Saw in the moon- 

 light two men up to their middles in the water and the dogs 

 on the bank growling. In response to his questions, the 

 men said they were merely taking a walk. There was no 

 thoroughfare— all private property and 2:30 A. M.— so he told 

 them to stay there till morning, put down the window and 

 went to bed. In the morning the dogs were there, but the 

 men had either waded along the shore or had swam off." 



W. Wade, 



BUri/rON, Pa., Oct. 20. 



A MARTYR TO DUTY. — I doubt not your readers will 

 share in our regret at the loss of an active and valued friend 

 of this institution, who, on the 15th inst., fell a victim to his 

 devotion and zeal in a good cause, I refer to that intelligent 

 terrier, Tartar, late the property of Mrs. Burt, of the Eglin- 

 ton Arms, who, between New Year's Day and the date of his 

 untimely death, collected no less a sum than £12 2s for us. 

 Tartar had a collecting-box, which he regarded as being in 

 his special charge, and for which he actually canvassed the 

 frequenters of his master's and mistress's house with dogged 

 persistence, and with a persuasiveness of expression which 

 seemed to say, "You can't refuse a poor dog a trifle for our 

 old infirmary." Such an appeal was hardly to be resisted, 

 and the coin given or thrown to him was promptly seized or 

 recovered and dropped through the slit, which was the door- 

 way to his treasury. A post mortem examination disclosed 

 that death had resulted front the effects of one or more pen- 

 nies inadvertently swallowed in his anxiety to secure them 

 for his box. While I write, his picture, taken with his box 

 beside him, is before me. We regret, and his mistress 

 laments, the loss of a friend. II in accociation with his 

 memory it is not forgotten that what a dog has done dogs 

 may do, Tartar will have left behind him the encouragement 

 of a good example — a valuable bequest to man as well as 

 dogs.— Charles S. Graham, Secretary Bristol Royal In- 

 firmary.— Stock-Keeper, 



AMERICAN TOY DOG CLUB. — Editor Forest and

DR. PIGEON. — Editor Forest and Stream: Can any of 

 your readers give me the address of Dr. Pigeon, an English 

 mastiff fancier, who came to this country a few years since? 

 — W, Wade (Hulton, Pa.).
