MASSACHUSETTS KENNEL CLUB. 



LYNN, Mass.j Feb. It.— Editor Forest and Stream: In 

 your last issue you publish an article from the secre- 

 tary of the New England Kennel Club, wherein he states 

 that "there is danger of confusion in the public mind in re- 

 gard to the bench show to be held at Lynn next March;" 

 that "Lynn has infringed on the Boston title;" that "we 

 have requested Lynn to select some other name;" that "on 

 Jan. 18, 188ft, the Boston Massachusetts K. C. met and 

 elected officers," and that "the Massachusetts K. C. of Bos- 

 ton and the New England K. C. of Boston are now under one 

 control." 



In oider to place this subject in its true light before the 

 public, perhaps it would be well to submit; the following: 



"Mass.ulmsetts Kennel Club, Lynn, Mass." 



This name was adopted at the suggestion of members of 

 this clv»i and also at the suggestion Of the secretary of the 

 A. K. 0, Association fto which association this club belongs), 

 and on inquiry concerning the old Massachusetts K. C. of 

 Boston, finding it to be a defunct concern (nothing having 

 been heard of it since 1SS2 until a few days ago), we pro- 

 ceeded to adopt our present name, and it was published iu 

 the sporting papers. 



Later on we sent to the leading sporting papers the an- 

 nouncement tbat Lynn would hold a d'dg show in March 

 under the auspices Of the Massachusetts Kenuel Club, and 

 this announcement lias appeared in like manner each suc- 

 cessive week for months past. 



Now. if the old Massachusetts K. C, of Bostoi , was not a 

 defunct concern, why did they not notify us of their exist- 

 ence nearly a year ago? If they had notified us any time 

 previous to Dec. 1, 1SS8. that Un y were "not dead, but sleep- 

 ing," we certainly would have adopted a different name. If 

 the old Boston Massachusetts K. <'. was not a defunct con- 

 cern why did they not meet and elect officers Jan. 18.1888, as 

 they claim to have done on Jan. 18, 1889? And now, just 

 prior to our forthcoming bench show, when we have com- 

 pleted all our arrangements for the same, comes our first 

 intimation of their existence,™ the shape of a com municatiou 

 from the secretary of the New England K. C, "forbidding 

 us the use of our name iu any shape or manner," and "if we 

 do not select another name they will take proper recourse to 

 defend their rights." 



It is extremely unfortunate that this trouble has arisen 

 between Boston and Lynn, having been ot.the opiuion that 

 Lynn would be a help to Boston in giving a bench show 

 here, but it is quite evident that Boston does uot look at it 

 in that light. However, as the "Massachusetts Kennel Club, 

 Lynn, Mass.," is a regularly incorporated body, chartered 

 under the laws of this State, we will positively hold our 

 bench show in Lvnn next March under our title. The New 

 England K. C, 6f Boston, and the Massachusetts K. C, of 

 Boston, are now under one control. This statement is suffi- 

 cient. Ernest C. Tarr, 



Secretary Massachusetts Kennel Club, Lynn, Mass, 



THE PITTSBURGH SHOW. 



Editor Forest and Stream: 



Your little drama with the scene laid at Pittsburgh show 

 rivals Macbeth, hardly in literary composition or fervor of 

 diction, but in historical accuracy they are much of amuch- 

 ness. Mr, Wixom certainly did not caiTy thiugs with the 

 high hand that would be supposed from this modern drama, 

 although he did stand firmly on his righis under his agree- 

 ment with the superintendent and president that he should 

 be allowed to take his clogs away in time to catch the 9 P. M. 

 train, but before he left the show he secured the concurrence 

 of Mr. Gregg a second time. I believe the preparatory scene 

 of "Go in, Juao," is about correct, and my lm-ed man (the 

 "Bob" referred to) gave a most amusing account of the 

 affair. I don't think my friends will believe that I behaved 

 in such style as to deserve the epithet of "rearing round." I 

 was exceedingly angry at finding t he agreement made by 

 Mr. Krueger and concurred in by Mr. Gregg, that Mr. Dole's 

 dogs should go at 8:15 P. M., was set aside by the vice-presi- 

 dent, but it would uot do lor me to raise a quarrel after my 

 former breezes with the show authorities. Mr. Krueger 

 may have been white with rage, but if so, it must, have been 

 at the shameful attempt of the vice president to frustrate so 

 reasonable an agreement as was made in the case of Mr. 

 Wixom's and Mr. Dole's dogs. These dogs were the only 

 ones in the show that would not reach home by Saturday 

 night if they remained in the show until it closed, but if 

 they missed the 9 P. M. traius they could not get home be- 

 fore Monday, iying over all day Sunday. Mr. Dole's dogs 

 staid over at Myers's kennel until Monday, as I was running 

 the entire N. D. C. 



I had a very pleasing incident, showing how real mastiff 

 men (not "clique clubbers") stick together. My driver was 

 taking my bitch Emma out of the show, when Mr. Probert, 

 the superintendent of Mr. Cook's kennels, ran across him 

 and raised Cain with him, declaring', "You ain't Mr. Wade's 

 man; he had a colored man looking after his dogs;" and 

 actually wouldn't let the man go on until he had produced 

 the gateman who had taken up his identification card. 

 While he was mistaken in bis idea, Mr. Probert did just 

 what all real mastiff men do for each other. 



I very much regret to have seen in the Pittsburgh papers 

 most shameful attempts of parties connected with the show 

 to make a scapegoat of Mr. Krueger for their own utter in- 

 capacity and wretched muddling. Tbat charge that he 

 showed' favoritism is utterly false. He showed the strictest 

 impartiality to everybody. "The show was the dirtiest, most 

 stinking one I ever saw, with the smallest quantity of the 

 most miserable bedding. Many exhibitors went out and 

 bought bedding for their dogs. All filth, refuse meat, etc., 

 was just poked under the benches, not any being taken out 

 of the show, and the stink resulting cau be imagined. But 

 this was none of Mr. Krueger"s fault. The show was got- 

 ten up to recoup the managers the money they lost at pre- 

 vious shows, and was run strictly from this point of view. 

 (It was that phantasmal "speculative show" we used to 

 hear of.) To this end every item of expense was cut down 

 (except feeding, that was very good). Krueger was forbid- 

 den to buy any more straw. He was allowed five attendants 

 in all, and as each judging riug required a steward and at 

 least two handlers, they started one man short of absolute 

 requirements. Then the men were not the right stuff; lack- 

 ing iu nerve aud decision. Of course there was nobody to 

 do the cleaning while the judging was going on, and when 

 that was finished, the various stinks had fixed themselves 

 so that Hercules couldn't have purified it. If it had uot 

 been for Klocke, Krueger and I showing dogs for absent 

 exhibitors, I don't know whether Mr. Naylor would have 

 got through yet. I saw Mr. Wixom showing a dog for a 

 competitor. 



Even the force he had was not under Mr. Krueger's con- 

 trol. He would issue orders, when an "officer" would come 

 and contradict them witbiu five minutes, and all his author- 

 ity was lost. That he was able to do anything was much to 

 the credit of his patience. A striking feature of the show 

 was the complete lack of common attention to exhibitors 

 from a distance. Several told me that not a person con- 

 nected with the show manifested the least interest in them 

 or showed them the commonest courtesy. "Your money is 

 all we want" seemed the ruling idea. I must make an 

 exception m favor of Mr. Gregg and Mr. Krueger in this 

 respect. The latter did the little he had time to spare for, 

 and Mr. Gregg really seemed to do his best. 



The mastiff judging was all right. Mr. Naylor put Duke 

 too far back on account of his knuckled iegs and light 

 thighs, but he did not know that the dog was only a thirteen 

 months' puppy, and supposing him a grown dog set him 

 down as "gone to pices." Where this puppy got his fair 

 type of head and immense substance from I can't imagine; 

 I bred his sire, owned his grandsiro, and saw his granddam, 

 and this puppy is worth the lot. 172lbs. for a thirteen 

 months' puppy, with about the head of Hero II.. isn't bad 

 by any means. 



The fact of the matter is tbat the leading owners of the 

 Western Pennsylvania Poultry Society are not fit to run a 

 show. They are not dog men. I don't believe that president, 

 secretary or treasurer knows a smooth St. Bernard from a 

 mastiff, and they neither read the kennel papers nor go to 

 other shows. They have got into a rut and cannot get out 

 of it. I was informed by several parties that, after this 

 show, they propose to retire from the business and let some- 

 body else try. It is said that they cleared $2,000 by the ven- 

 ture. Let lis hope that they will' be satisfied and quit. 



The result of the show is a bit of a study. I don't see how 

 a thiug could be more suicidally mismanaged for securing 

 entr!es< The resignation from the A. K. C. cut off certain 

 entries of the bootlicks of "the gang," which were more 

 than made up by increased entries from local exhibitors, 

 who would not have paid the "bulldoze" 50 cents, but they 

 Idst.the hurrahing support of the A. K. C. creatures, the 

 puffing and wind work chat is so liberally heaped on "gen- 

 tlemen" (meaning fellows who "stand in with us"). To 

 compensate for this, they struck the two most popular men 

 they could have picked in Krueger and Naylor, but with 

 supreme ignorance of their opportunity, never took a single 

 step to make this widely known. In fact, it was never men- 

 tioned in the kennel press that Mr. Na\ lor was to judge 

 non-sporting dogs. 1 know of over 30 entries that came 

 entirely on account ot the connection of these two gentlemen 

 with the show, and had it been properly published two 

 months iu advance, this 80 woulclbavebeen quadrupled; and 

 these 30 were no scrubs, but carried off the majority of the 

 prizes iu the non-sporting division. The Columbus show 

 was belauded to the skies, there was to be a great affair of 

 it, it was under the sacred shadow of "the American Ken- 

 nel Club, sir;" yet it had 206 entries against 28S at Pitts- 

 burg, again teaching the lesson that Buffalo first taught, 

 that membership of the A. K. C. has but little to do with 

 the entries at a show. Rage as you will, gentlemen, this 

 has been proved. 



An overlooked feature at the show was the Russiau wolf- 

 hound puppy of Mr, Hacke's, an immense dog, a thoroughly 

 typical greyhound, with the coat that should come from a 

 cross of setter and greyhound, and by all odds the hand- 

 somest dog ever seen in an American show. W. WADE.

COLUMBUS DOG SHOW. 



Editor Forest and Stream; 



The first annual dog show of the Columbus Fanciers' 

 Club was held at the City Hall, Feb. 5 to 8. There were 

 206 entries, of which number 23 were absent. The quality 

 of the dogs was of a higher average than the list of awards 

 will show, as there were a number of recent importations 

 with many English wins to their credit that were not 

 shown for competition. The judges were Messrs. John 

 Davidson and H. Goodman; Mr. Geo. H. Hill was superin- 

 tendent. Following is a list of the

COLLIES AT PITTSBURGH.— Pittsburgh, Feb. <>.— 

 Edito r Forest a n d Stream : I desire to enter a protest through 

 your valuable paper against the directors of the Western 

 Pennsylvania Poultry Society. I entered my collie dog 

 Prince in the open class for collie dogs, expecting to get fair 

 and square treatment from the directors of the bench show, 

 hut through gross negligence on the part of said directors 

 in uot having sufficient attendents ou hand my dog was not. 

 taken to the judging stand when this class was judged 

 Tuesday evening. "Upon my arrival at the show Wednesday 

 morning I was much surprised to rind that my dbg had not, 

 been even noticed. As he is a very fine imported dog, and a 

 splendid specimen of his kind. I asked the judge f.or an ex- 

 planation. In a very pleasant manner he stated that the 

 best dog, Roh Roy, had received the first honor, the others 

 not being sufficiently good to take a prize. He courteously 

 agreed to look at my dog in his kennel, and was surprised 

 to find that he had hot seen the dog before. Upon consult- 

 ing with the superintendent they decided that as the dog had 

 been iu the show all the time, and by a mistake of the 

 society had not been judged, to re-open the class. This they 

 did, and the judge decided to give my dog Prince the first 

 prize, placing" Rob Roy second, which decision seemed to 

 meet with the approval of collie dog judges. Ou the last 

 day of the show some of the directors met together, and, 

 against the protests of their superintendent, Mr. A. C. 

 Krueger, who was iuclined to act justly, they decided to re- 

 ject the decision of the judge, Mr. Naylor, and place Rob 

 Roy first, and Prince second. I am an amateur with dogs, 

 Priuce being my first entry at a bench show, aud if my dbg 

 had been judged and found wanting I would have remained 

 mum. as I am uot a kicker, but to be deliberately jockeyed 

 out ot an honor due my dog is very hard to bear. While I 

 do not include all the managers of the bench show iu my 

 protest, as I am inclined to think that some of them were 

 angry at the hasty action of their fellows, I think it justly 

 due, both myself and .Judge Naylor, that they explain their 

 action, aud disperse the clouds that hover over this as well 

 as former actions of the society.— H L. SilAl.'i-'Ei;.

RO CHESTER DOG SHOW. — Rochester, N. Y., Feb. 1.- 

 Editor Forest and Stream: The first annual bench show of 

 the Rochester Kennel Club will be held in the Washington 

 Rink, at Rochester. N. Y., March 19 to 22. As Rochester is 

 a city of nearly 150,001) inhabitants, and this being the first 

 regular kennel club show ever given in the vicinity, older 

 breeders aud the public are of the impression that this show 

 will afford facilities for exhibitions uot only in the way of 

 exhibiting their dogs to the best possible advantage, but 

 will afford a rich field for those desirous of disposiug of 

 their pets at private sale. A very competent list of judges 

 has been secured, as follows: Miss Anna H. Whitney, of 

 Lancaster, Mass., St. Bernards, Newfoundlands, Great Danes 

 and pugs; Mr. A. Clinton Wilmerdiug, New York, spaniels, 

 all classes; Dr. H. Clay Glover, all sporting dogs, and Mr. 

 Jas. Mortimer, Babylon. N. Y., the remaining classes. The 

 premium list figures up §1.700, all of which is guaranteed to 

 be. paid up in full. Mr. Win. Talimau is. sipprintendent, 

 and Spratts Patent will bench and feed. It i» predicted that 

 Rochester's will be one of the greatest shows of the season. 

 Send immediately to the secretary, Rochester, N. Y., Box 

 4«6, for premium list and make your entries.— HARRY YATES,
