 pointed with his nose over the embankment. Rose called a

 Joey for a moment and found him on a stylish point to a 

 single* They were ordered up and the heat was awarded to 

 Dave R., and he was declared the winner of first prize. 

 Down lb. am. It was remarked and w.as a fact that no dog 

 found and pointed a bevy while in competition with Dave

 perfect satisfaction.

RULE NO. 2. 



Editor Forest and Stream: 

 In your issue of Dec. 15 I notice a few words from Mr. J. 



A. Nickerson, Present my compliments to Mr. Nickerson 

 and gently whisper to him that both Mr. Wiuslow and my- 

 self are quite competent to present our bills to bench show 

 managers should we need or wish any remuneration, but at 

 the same time thank him for me, and I have no doubt but 

 that Mr. Winslow joins me, for his charitable act in saying 

 "Bench show managers should see to it at once that Messrs. 

 Cugle and Winslow "are substantially remembered for their 

 effort to swell the number of entries at coming shows." The 

 new Rule 3 wall not affect entries at shows in the least, pro- 

 vided special attention is called to it. Did Mr. Nickerson 

 commune with Mr. Grosvenor before he mailed that bit of 

 sarcasm? Evidently not, for Mr. Grosvenor knew perfectly 

 well What he was doing at the A. K. C. meeting, and it be 

 did not get scared at the outlook why should Mr. Nickerson? 

 The Boston bench show managers are all right; if anyone is 

 to get scared and kick, Hartford Should, Speak your mind, 

 Mr. Nickerson. but don't, don't use sarcasm, it don't sound 

 nice. Chas. D. Cugle. 



Hartford, Dec. 16. 



Editor Forest and. Stream: 



It was with feelings of disgust that I read in your issue of 

 three weeks ago of the new rule laid down by the A. K. C. 

 requiring contpulsory registration of dogs in the A. K. C. S. 



B. , in order to show them at shows held under their rules. 

 Now I have not had quite as bitter a feeling against the 



A. K. C. as some breeders have, believing that they would 

 in time get straightened out; but this straw breaks my back, 

 and I hope the best breeders in the country will refuse to 

 show their dogs, and will teach the A> K. C. that they can- 

 not cram their stud book down our throats in that manner. 

 Let the stud book thrive on its merits, and if it has not merit 

 enough to thrive it had better die. 



The American Kennel Register has steadily grown on its 

 merits and is good enough, and I have yet to learn of any 

 fault with it except the small amount ot reading matter it 

 contains; but I believe we get our money's worth and more 

 too. Wish it could be enlarged and would gladly pay for it. 



Chas. e: Shaw. 



Clinton, Mass., Dec. 22. 



Editor Forest and Stream: 



The following is an extract from a note of an old friend, 

 long a dog lover and exhibitor, but who has never engaged 

 in any controversy, as to the A. K. C, its stud book, or any- 

 thing connected with it. He is thoroughly an impartial 

 outsider, and, I am convinced, voices the sentiments of 

 ninety-nine out of one hundred of the class, when he writes 

 me: "Are you going to the New York show? It will be a 

 poor one, I guess, owing to that idiotic rule about the stud 

 book entries. What on earth got into them?" W, Wade. 



Htjlton, Pa., Dec. 24. 



Editor Forest and, Stream: 



The editorial in last Forest and Stream commenting on 

 the action of the A. K. C. in regard to rule compelling the 

 registering of all dogs in their stud book is about right, and 

 hits the nail on the head. Such ruling is a great imposition 

 on exhibitors, to say the least, and certainly will decrease 

 the attendance at shows under A. K, C. rules.

ENGLISH DOG CHAT.-Il. 



[From an English Correspondent.] 

 (OmichuUd from Page hio.) 



HANLEY was the next fixture of any importance, and was 

 chiefly remarkable for a scene between Little Smith 

 and Mrs. King-Patten, the owner of the St. Bernard Prince 

 Battenberg. The storm had been brewing for some time, 

 and the owner of Plinlimmon was in a red rage when he 

 heard that Mrs. Patten had been saying something about 

 Plinlimmon's puppies. With his hat back on his head and 

 glaring over those spectacles of his, the little man nearly 

 jumped down the lady's throat, and clearly laid down the 

 law on the matter. Then, of course, there was the usual 

 scene, and tears fell fast and furious, and as the dogs, Plin- 

 limmon and Battenberg, were benched side by side,things 

 were just amusing, but the game was at its' height when 

 Mrs. Smith arrived and learned of the row. Both ladies had 

 a chair opposite their dogs, and if they didn't look like eat- 

 ing one another, well, what price cannibals? Then there 

 was another barney at Hanley. This time Jimmy Hinks, of 

 Birmingham, was the offender. The Birmingham man 

 claimed a dog in the selling class, had his receipt from the 

 office, took the dog off the bench, and showing the fellow at 

 the turnstile the piece of paper, pretending it was a removal 

 order, and out he went with the dog. This was done so 

 that no one else should claim the dog. Of course, somebody 

 made it his business to inform the secretary and then there 

 was high jinks, but the sequel was, perhaps, as amusing as 

 anything we have had this season. Now, mark you, there 

 is another gentleman in our kennel world with a name just 

 ! the same, only spelled differently, viz., Mr. James Hincks, 

 of Leicester, a well-known Clumber fancier, and a lawyer to 

 1 boot. He was also an exhibitor at Hanley, and Mr, Inde- 



fatigable Secretary, of course, to make himself as busy as 

 possible in his high and mighty office, wrote to the Kennel 

 Club in regard to the conduct of Mi-. James Hincks, of 

 Leicester, and that august body wrote that gentleman for 

 an explanation of his conduct at a show held under their 

 rules. Of course, Mr. Secretary had made a mistake, and 

 Jimmy Hinks, of Birmingham, was laughing in his sleevei 

 Whjlle Jlriiin-V Hincks; of Leicester, was fuming with rag*' 

 aiht Wanting td know ''what the deVil they meant:" Th| 

 end of this hasco was Mr; Bobson, the Hanley secretary* had 

 to apologize publicly or beebme amenable to the law of 

 slander, and in all the fuss and flutter Jimmy Hinks got off 

 scot free, and as the matter was not explained in time, Mi\ 

 James Hincks. of Leicester, could not send his team of 

 spaniels to the jubilee show. 



A goodly number of English exhibitors turned up at 

 Brussels, and won nearly every franc they went in fori 



ons Mr. Balcombe appeared on the. scene of show life. Tie 

 was reputed to have won a lot of money over some racing 

 event. He then went in for dogs and tick, and rushed sev= 

 eral who ought to have known better. 



Tlie English contingent enjoyed themselves immensely ill 

 Brussels, and a well-known collie man could relate some 

 peculiar experiences of what he did and saw mid where his 

 guide took him and whom he met. Mr. Shirley took the 

 sporting; and another of our Kennel Club men; Mr; Jaclc- 

 stfni the udn-sportiog lot, and so far from favoring their' 

 Own countrymen, in sOme. cases really went out of their 

 way to give the "furriners" the benefit of the doubt. The 

 show Was visited by the Queen of the Belgians and the 

 Duke of Flanders, and it would have done your eyes good 

 to watch the manners the. Britons tried to catch the great 

 ones' eyes. There was "Papa" Nichols letting the New- 

 foundland Lord Nelson jump up against his new brown 

 velvet coat, while Charley Lawrence, one of our "downey" 

 exhibitors, did his level best to sell the Duke a Blenheim 

 spaniel with a face as long as a fiddle. "Ah," said Charley, 

 "titles they certainly have got, but Via Mowed if I think 

 they have much blooming money." It neves entered 

 Charley's head that even a swell might "know a bit" too. 

 Captain Thomas sent about a score entries from South 

 Wales to this show, and won just as many prizes. 



The Newport show passed off well, although the executive, 

 was a few pounds out of pocket, lint they did up the thing 

 well. The Dudley show was not the success tha t it might 

 have been and the hat had to be sent round, and had it hot 

 been for a few fellows, Mr, Astley, who was the secretary, 

 would have been in a fix, although this show was promised 

 to be a model of management and what not, and we were 

 told that if we wanted to see management to visit Dudley. 

 I found nothing to speak of. Paris show wasn't up to much, 

 and one would think from the dogs to be seen on their 

 benches that they had eaten all the pillars of their kennel 

 stud book during the siege. Zurich show passed off well 

 and old King-Patten journeyed there with Prince Batten- 

 berg, as Mr. H. B. Betterton was judging, for it was that 

 gentleman who had put him over Plinlimmon at last Birm- 

 ingham show. So off started Mr. Patten cock sure of the 

 valuable special prize, but had to return crestfallen, as Dr. 

 Kiinzli's Young Barry was too much for him Never was 

 a child more, tenderly nursed than Prince Battenberg, and 

 the attendance even goes as far as his owner sitting for hours 

 in his kennel reading aloud— whether it is for the dog's 

 benefit or not I don't know, but the others in the kennel get 

 more kicks than ha'pence. Mr. King-Patten describes the 

 defeat of his dog Prince Battenberg at Zurich as a "swindle" 

 and threatens one day to make some disclosures upon the 

 subject. More than one continental celebrity shared the 

 opinion of the "disappointed exhibitor." The latest rumor 

 about Prince Battenberg is that he can't get pups, but this 

 I know to be a cowardly, malicious lie. 



Chelmsford was a fair show, and it was a day out for Dear 

 & Co., who benched and fed the show. Rumor was rife 

 that Spratts had hired a lot of men to upset the arrange- 

 ments, etc. There at one time could be seen running about 

 little Dr. Seelig and Capt. TJrquhart (Dear's agents) after a 

 medical man, as it was alleged that Spratts' hirelings had 

 drugged Dear's keepers. A bottle containing some stuff was 

 found on one of the suspected men, and there was a fine hul- 

 labaloo. It was corked and sealed in the presence of the 

 committee and forwarded to an analyst: but we never heard 

 more of the matter. All concerned acted more like a parcel of 

 children than men of mature age. Small shows now came 

 thick and fast and entries ran low, and no show suffered 

 more than Norwich, and the consequence was that the com- 

 mittee had to pay through the nose for running their fixture 

 so close to the K. C. Jubilee Show, at Barnes,' London. Of 

 course you have heard all about that great show and how 

 some of your dogs succeeded. The continental fellows 

 showed a poor lot of dogs even in such a breed as Great Danes, 

 which they ought to excel in, indeed they must have felt 

 very small to find how the Britishers had~ beaten them in 

 breeding. 



Spratts' lunch was a great affair, and the liberality of it 

 in some way or other got up the back of the mighty K. O, 

 and the next evening the Spratts' marquee was ordered to 

 be taken down. At all the shows 1 have been at I never 

 heard such an unceasing popping of champagne corks. 



Perhaps as successful a show as any held was the New- 

 castle-on-Tyne one— in fact they took £240 at the gate, so 

 that sum speaks for itself. Again did Darlington keep up 

 its reputation, although on a wet day it is one of the most 

 miserable shows in the world, and that is saying much. 



Then Strabane, Pontefract, Ashby de la Zouch, Tyneside, 

 Bradford, Ormskirk, Horncastle, Todmorden, Perth and 

 Hexham shows were all on in the same week, and survived 

 the ordeal, and Cirencester, Ryde and Bromley followed 

 suit. Heath was a fair show for W'ales, but a nasty bit of 

 snarling was on at one time about a special— the same old 

 story, and committeemen trying to influence the judging in 

 favor of their dog. There is one man named Jenkins who 

 shows a toy of a pointer now and then — and I believe hails 

 from Heath — is about the most persistent man for siding 

 up to judges I ever saw. I trust some day he may get hold 

 of the wrong man. 



Anew show at Trowbridge passed off well, and then small 

 shows followed on by the dozen. Cardiff was the next big 

 event, and the greatest attraction in the show was the 

 champion fighting dog Spring. The show in connection 

 with the Royal Jubilee Exhibition at Saltane was spoiled 

 because of the greedy manner in which the. management 

 catered for the dogs. Fancy nothing but stakes driven into 

 the ground in such a central doggy place. The exhibits 

 were up to the average, but the first night was enough to 

 disgust one. Bangor proved a fine show for Welsh terriers, 

 which as I before remarked, are finding many friends, and 

 Birkenhead and Edinburgh were also very successful in 

 their fixtures. 



MONARCH'S WINNINGS. — Boston, Dec. 30.— Editor 

 Fo rest a nd Stream: Kindly allow me to answer Mr. Moore's 

 criticisms, in reference to the special prize credited Monarch 

 in my ad. It was a misunderstanding on my part with the 

 man of whom I purchased the dog, and as soon as I knew of 

 the mistake I wrote you (even before 1 knew of Mr. Moore's 

 action) to take it from the ad. I suppose the letter was re- 

 ceived too late to take it from last week's paper. The dog 

 business with me is a hobby and I have no desire to try to 

 deceive and will cheerfully thank Mr. Moore or any other 

 gentleman to point out; any wrong that ruav be found in my 

 kennels.— E. B, Sears.
