THE PITTSBURGH MEDALS. 



Editor Forest and Stream: 



I must dissent from your editorial as far as any alleged 

 guilty knowledge of Pittsburgh directors is concerned. I am 

 sure that nine out of ten men, taking one of the "gold" medals 

 into their hands, without special attention to the question 

 of their composition, would lay it down again without sus- 

 pecting anything as to its character; one does not critically 

 investigate such a point, unless specially drawn to it. Re- 

 member that the gentleman who first discovered the fraud, 

 had accepted his "gold" medal as genuine, until his atten- 

 tion was drawn to it, by finding his "silver" one was pewter, 

 and that the gentleman who won the "gold" one you ana- 

 lyzed, also accepted it without suspicion. Fiirther.how could 

 one of the directors suspect anything bogus about the 

 meduls, wheu he remembered that the directors had given 

 positive instructions that ail medals should be as repre- 

 sented, or none should be given ? Surely, they could not 

 think that such a positive direction, in the interests of 

 common honesty, would be totally ignored? You may ask 

 what authority I have for this statement; weD my informant 

 is very sensitive about having his name in the papers in any 

 way. but I will say to you that Mr. told me, in the pres- 

 ence of Mr. , both being directors, that such directions 



had been given by the board. I append the names, and you 

 can certify to their character for truth and honesty, and I 

 am sure that either will verify the statement to you, per- 

 sonally, if not for publication. 



As to the A. K. C; I cannot believe that such men as 

 Peshall, Grosvenor, Win slow, Donner, Seabury, Collins (if 

 he will act himself) Osborne, etc., will permit such perform- 

 ances as "pewter" medals, rowdyisms, reversals, re-reversals 

 and sur re-reversals, etc. They will go astray in the future 

 as they have done in the past, but each slip is warning them 

 that the "knock down and drag out" of knaves is the only 

 mo e of their suppression, and slowly the A. K C. is coming 

 up to where it should be. Mark what will be the action 

 (if it has not already transpired) on the folly of the reversal 

 in the Bsaufort-Patti M. case. W. Wade. 



Hot/ton, Pa., June 11. 



The talk among local dog fanciers during the past week 

 has been the alleged expose of the gold medals presented to 

 owners of winning dogs at the recent bench show. 



The story, coupled with mention of the supposed pewter 

 medal business last year, raised quite a commotion. Last 

 week, in a journal devoted to the kennel, a bitter attack was 

 made on the management of the show. It charged them with 

 defrauding their exhibitors by offering gold medals and 

 awarding medals made of composition and only gold plated. 

 This fact it was said was proven by an analysis. It was said 

 that the matter would be brought to the attention of the 

 American Kennel Club, and an effort made to expel the 

 Pittsburgh organization for the proceeding. 



To ascertain the Association's defense in the matter a visit 

 was paid to Secretary Elben this morning. 



"Oh, I know where that story comes from," said Mr. Elben 

 at once. "Everybody interested in the kennel kDows that 

 the man in question will do anything to kick up a quarrel and 

 is constantly pi tching into us. Ever since the show two years 

 ago, when he selected the judges, and the show was a failure, 

 he has been fighting us. But to the medals. No, they were 

 not solid gold. No solid gold medals, as far as I can learn, 

 have ever been given out by any bench show in the country. 

 We did not announce that they were solid, and our ex- 

 hibitors knew that they were composition. Many came and 

 asked that they be given medals instead of money prizes. 

 Now, I don't suppose many exhibitors melt their medals 

 down as soon as they get them, or even at all. Medals are 

 tokens, and that fact is generally understood. The gold 

 medals were made in the East and the manufacturer said 

 that they were among the best he ever made. They were of 

 a composition and very heavily plated. The same parties 

 attacked us last year, claiming that we gave out pewter 

 medals and had them billed as silver. They brought the 

 matter before the American Kennel Club, and it was laid on 

 the table to their disgust. Every person who buys a piece 

 of silverware in the jewelry store "knows that he is not get- 

 ting solid silver unless he has made a request that the 

 article be sterling. So it is with the medals. The attack 

 will do us no harm."— Pittsburgh Chronicle Telegraph, 

 June 9. 



TO RECONSIDER A RECONSIDERATION. 



The following letter is a copy of one written by Mr. H. T. 

 Drake (delegate from the St. Paul and Minneapolis 

 Club, of St. Paul, Minnesota) in relation to the recent action 

 of the American Kennel Club in the Beaufort — Patti M. pro- 

 test: 



Mr. A. P. Vredenhurgh, Secy. A. K. C. 



My Dear Sik— After mature deliberation I feel it my duty 

 as a loyal member of the A. K. 0., and in spite of my friend- 

 ship for Mr. Munhall, to move a reconsideration of the vote 

 taken at the last meeting on the Beaufort — Patti M. contest. 

 My reasons for this change of heart are as follows: I must 

 confess to entire ignorance of the whole matter until I arrived 

 in New York city, when Mr. Munhall told me that he had 

 a personal matter that he was going to brine before the 

 meeting of the A. K. C, but he did not enter ioto an explan 

 atlon of it. At the meeting it was probably taken for granted 

 that Mr. Newberry and I (who were both new members) were 

 thoroughly conversant with the details of the contest and 

 the merits of the case and but little explanation or discussion 

 took place. When a vote was taken by acclamation I re- 

 frained from voting, for I felt that I could not do so intelli- 

 gently. A second vote by raising of hands was called for, and 

 I still refrained from voting. When finally compelled to vote 

 when the ayes and nays were called, I favored Mr. Munhall, 

 though I doubted if I was doing right and told him so at the 

 time. I think that Mr. Newberry was in the same predica- 

 ment and did not know much more about the case than I 

 did: however, if he desires to explain his position, he will 

 probably do so without any help from me. Before I left 

 New York I was sure that I had made a mistake, but took 

 no steps to correct it, as I wanted to see the executive com- 

 mittee of our club first. 



I am fully aware that in making this move I am liable to 

 stir up ill feeling and open old sores, and perhaps incur the 

 displeasure of my friend Mr. Munhall; but I trust that he 

 fully understands my position and knows that I am not 

 actuated by any personal nioives. 



In closing I may be allowed a few critical remarks, viz., I 

 consider that Mr. Peshall made a mistake, first in offering 

 the special prize after the entries had closed, though every 

 one knows that he did so from the great interest he takes in 

 dog matters, and to make the Waverly show a greater suc- 

 cess by bringing in dogs which were not previously entered, 

 and secondly by allowing Nick of Naso to compete for a, 

 prize which he, the owner of the dog. had offered. 



Again, Mr. Mason should not have entered Beaufort to 

 compete for it, though he had a perfect right to do so under 

 the terms upon which the prize was given. It was not wise 

 to thus throw himself open to criticism. 



Mr. Munhall had a right to refer the matter to the A. K. C. 

 for decision, but should have allowed it to drop when it was 

 once decided. It was not in good form for him to vote upon 

 the question at the last meeting, as it was a personal matter 

 with him and did not concern his club. 



Mr. Munhall announced openly at the meeting that it was 

 not the money that he wanted but justice. I and others 

 understood him to say before the vote was taken that he 

 would not make a demand for the money, I was, therefore i 



not a little surprised when I heard that he had formally 

 demanded the amount of the prize from the secretary of the 

 New Jersey Kennel Club. 



Mr. Wade with righteous indignation and in very forcible 

 language gives the A. K. C. a scoring for its action on this 

 question. He should take into consideration the many ex- 

 tenuating circumstances, and also remember that the prox- 

 ies and newly elected delegates committed this faux pas in 

 the name of the A. K. C. 



Pardon my prolixity. I shall try and do better next time. 

 I hate dissensions, and try to keep out of them, but cannot 

 help myself this time. Yours truly, H. T. Drake. 



PEMBROKE DISQUALIFICATION. — New England 

 Kennel Club, Boston, June 8. — Editor Forest and Stream: 

 We beg to inform you that the greyhound Pembroke, owned 

 by Mr. Chas. D. Webber, has been disqualified by the N. E. 

 K. O, and his winnings at Boston withdrawn. This sus- 

 tains the protest of Mr. II. M. Huntington that the dog was 

 entered in the open class, when his owner knew he was a 

 champion at the date of show. The committee find that Mr. 

 Webber continued him wrongly classed, and has since stated 

 in point that the blame for not transferring the dog rests 

 with the committee, who accidentally overlooked the dog's 

 record in the rush of work. We take this opportunity of 

 saying that whatever blame can be attached to us by any 

 construction of Rules 9 and 32, A. K. C, we think likely to 

 occur again; and it is our opinion that an owner should be 

 compelled to notify the committee of any changein his dog's 

 record from the close of entries to date of show, and that 

 responsibility to notice should rest with the party who is 

 never ignorant of his dog's winnings.— Bench Show Com- 

 mittee, New England Kennel Club. 



Editor Forest and Stream: I have just received notice 

 from the secretary of the A. K. C. stating that the N. E. K. 

 C. have disqualified the dog Pembroke. I am sorry for this 

 dog. What was the matter? Did he have the mange or 

 some other contagious disease? If a dog has a contagious 

 disease the Vet. in charge should order him out of the show; 

 it is not necessary to disqualify him. Disqualification only 

 may extend to dogs of exhibitor who has been found guilty 

 of some violation of the rules, when the disqualification may 

 extend to the dog, I hope in your next issue that the secre- 

 tary of the N. E. K. C. will publish a letter of explanation 

 and apology to Pembroke.— C. J. Peshall. 



WEIGHT OF A MASTIFF LITTER.— Wahpeton, Dak., 

 June 6.— Herewith please find table of weights at the age of 

 six weeks of a litter of mastiff puppies, which I think has 

 never been equaled; certainly not when the size of the litter 

 is considered. Comparing with the weights of the famous 

 pair of Amidon puppies bred by Ashmont, it is seen that the 

 bitch Asia weighs exactly the same, viz., 15^1bs., as the 

 Amidon bitch, while the dog Atlas also weighs i5}-£lbs., 

 li^lbs. more than the Amidon dog puppy at the same age. 

 These puppies are by Lee's Turk (A.K.R, 2222) out of my 

 fawn bitch Sylvia (Major— Celeste), being Sylvia's first 

 litter, and were whelped April 23, 1887. I attribute the large 

 size and perfect development of these puppies largely to the 

 fact that the dam has always been generously fed ; her diet 

 consisting principally of raw beef. Never having been 

 chained or confined, her muscular system is splendidly de- 

 veloped. Weights at six weeks of age: Ajax, lolbs.; Abel, 

 15%lbs.; Atlas, lo^lbs.; Asia, 15%lbs.; Andrea, Lilbs.; 

 aggregate weight, 753?j(lbs. These are genuine weights, taken 

 in presence of responsible persons and can be substantiated. 

 That the scales were correct was proven at the time by actual 

 test.— Orton Gifford. 



THE UNITED STATES FIELD TRIALS CLUB, after 

 an examination of the grounds in Maryland which had at 

 first been selected for their trials, have concluded that they 

 will not do, and now propose to rent grounds in North Caro- 

 lina. Any persons having grounds are requested to commu- 

 nicate with Mr. C. J. Peshall, Hoffman House, New York 

 city. 



MILWAUKEE SHOW.— Milwaukee, Wis., June 10.— Our 

 next annual show of the Wisconsin Kennel Club will take 

 place on Sept. 20. 21, 22 and 23, in the Exposition Hall. Mr. 

 R. D. Whitehead, vice-president of our club, also officer of 

 the Humane Society, will manage the show. Full particu- 

 lars later. — A. M. GiiAu, Secretary.
