15. A dog to compete in a, champion class must have won four 

 first prizes, exclusive of puppy classes and classes not confined to 

 one breed, at shows approved by the Canadian Kennel Club, a 

 list of which, together with these rules, must be published in the 

 premium list and catalogue of each show. 



IB. In estimating the number of prizes a dog has won with ref- 

 erence to whether it should compete in a champion class or not, 

 the number of prizes won shall be calculated up to 13 P. M. of the

17. In entering a dog in a champion class it is nocessary to

 Canadian Kennel Club or by the committee of the show in

 deposit of five dollars, and if the objection is decided to be frivo- 

 lous the deposit shall be forfeited to the committee of the show.

 appealed from is sustained the 810 deposit shall be forfeited to 

 the Canadian Kennel Club, but if the decision is reversed then all

 or the person suspended be disqualified for such a period as the 

 executive committee may decide. The disqualification of an

 fit, provided they do not conflict with the foregoing rules. 



29. A recognized veterinary surgeon must be appointed at each 

 show held under these rules. 



DOG TALK. 



rpHIS is the new king of the English St. Bernard world as 

 J. he appeared to the reporter of the Stock-Keeper: "Sir 

 Bedivere was resting when we first came across him, taut his 

 owner's brother came up in a few minutes and kindly led 

 the new sensation into the ring. Having read and listened 

 to so much, in fact, eulogiums that sounded fanciful, we 

 were prepared for a feeling of disappointment; we are, 

 therefore, paying the namesake of King Arthur's Knight a 

 great compliment in owning that such a feeling never ap- 

 proached our opinion of Sir Bedivere on Tuesday. He is the 

 grandest specimen of his tareed our eyes have ever feasted 

 upon. His proportions are colossal, in fact, we heard a lady 

 murmur, as the giant marched past her. "Can that be a dogl" 

 and his qualities in keeping with his size. If ever he 

 should meet Plinlimmon, it is odds on the son of Nero III. 

 and Ben a." 



Regarding the report that Mr. Hopkins was asked to judge 

 fox-terriers at New York, he writes as follows: "Editor 

 Forest and Stream: My attention has been called to your 

 publishing in your issue of the 21st inst., that 1 had been 

 invited to judge fox-terriers at New York by the Westmin- 

 ster Kennel Club, taut that I had declined in favor of Mr. 

 Belmont. Allow me to say that I was not invited to judge, 

 and that your informant, whoever he may be, manufactured 

 the statement in which there is not one single word of 

 truth.— Gekmas Hopkins." 



The judges at the coming Philadelphia show so far as 

 they have been appointed are: R. Exley, mastiffs: P. C. Ohl, 

 setters; J. H. Phelan, pointers; S. R. Hemingway, spaniels; 

 C. Stevenson, basset-hounds and daehshunde; J. P. Sander- 

 son, Scotch, Skye, Dandie Din mont terriers and toy spaniels; 

 J. Deville, talack and can and taull-terriers, and C. T. Thomp- 

 son, Irish terriers. The premium list will tae ready in a few 

 days. The address of the secretary is Francis S. Brown, 

 Philadelphia, Pa. 



In describing the pointer bitches Bloomo and Lady Nor- 

 rish in our report of the New York show, we said that the 

 former was "throaty." The comment should have read, 

 too much jowl, as she is not throaty; neither is LadyNor- 

 rish "leggy" according to our notes. 



All who are interested in greyhounds and coursing should 

 not forget that a meeting of the Eastern Coursing Club will 

 be held at the Hoffman House, New York, on Saturday, 

 March U, at 7 o'clock P. M. 



We have pointed out that to unite the offices of dog show- 

 superintendent and judge in the person of one individual is 



a mistake. The two offices do not go well together, as 

 human nature is at present constituted. The Albany bench 

 show managers, having selected Mr. William Tallmau as 

 superintendent, further made him one of the judges. As 

 superintendent, Mr. Tallmau had all he could do and do 

 well. One part of bis duty was to drum up all the entries 

 he could. As superintendent to drum for entries by personal 

 solicitation was the right thing. The moment he became 

 judgeit was improper for hi in to personally solicit owners to 

 send their dogs to Albany. When,- therefore, he thus solicited 

 entries at Troy last week we were not surprised to learn 

 there was much hostile criticism of the action. Doubtless 

 Mr, Tall man realized that lie was in a delicate position, and 

 when a sense of duty as the show superintendent conflicted 

 with the propriety of conduct as a judge-to-be, the sense of 

 duty to his employers triumphed aud he knowingly in- 

 curred hostile criticism, by asking exhibitors to show under 

 him at Albany. But the principle of the thing is all wrong; 

 no bench show committee should tae guilty of another blun- 

 der of this kind, aud 'no individual is likely again to be 

 trapped into a position where as superintendent he will have 

 to solicit entries to come before himself as judge. 



We are informed that an exceptionally flue team of 

 pointers is now on the way to this country from England, 

 and that they will put in an appearance at some of the com- 

 ing shows. 



The Irish Terrier Club of England, at a meeting held dur- 

 ing the Liverpool dog show, adopted a resolution in favor 

 of a rule that all Irish terriers, whelped after July 1, 1889, 

 should tae shown with natural ears. 



The Canadian Kennel Club are circulating a petition to 

 tae presented to the Government to have the duty on dogs 

 that are tarought into the Dominion abolished. 



The annual meeting of the American Spaniel Club will tae 

 held at Philadelphia, Pa., April 16, during the first day of 

 the dog show. Business of importance will come before the 

 meeting and a full attendance is desired. 



We are told of an exhibitor at a recent dog show who 

 changed his unnoticed puppy to the stall of one that won 

 he, and sold him. Unfortunately we could not learn his 

 name. 



There will tae a meeting of the board of governors of the 

 Eastern Field Trials Club at 44 Broadway, New Y"ork, room 

 19, at 3:30 P. M., March 12. A full attendance is requested. 



We understand that the managers of the Philadelphia 

 dog show have secured, the Armory, at the corner of Chest- 

 nut and Broad streets, for the show. 



Boston reports: "Entries are coming in very lively and 

 from present indications we are going to have a rattling 

 show." The entries close Monday, March 11. 



Mr. Geo. L. Fish has removed fron New Bedford, Mass., 

 to Portland, Me. His address as well as that of the Rock- 

 dale Kennel is Box 1875. 



The Brunswick Fur Club, of Brunswick, Me., will send to 

 the Boston show several of their foxhounds for competition. 



Several communications on coursing have been crowded 

 out until next week. 



TO AMERICAN POINTER BREEDERS. 



THE undersigned were elected president, and secretary 

 and treasurer of the Pointer Club of America at a meet- 

 ing held at Madison Square Garden, Feb. 20. 



The club is now fully organized, and it is the desire of its 

 members to make it, as it should tae, a representative organ- 

 ization, embracing a membership in all sections of the 

 Union. 



With that in view, it was unanimously resolved that all 

 pointer breeders and sportsmen generally interested in the 

 subject of breeding pointers should be given the opportunity 

 of joining this club upon the same terms as the original 

 charter members until April 1, 1889; that is to say, any 

 gentleman desiring to join this club may do so upon ap- 

 plication to the secretary and treasurer, stating his name 

 and post office address and accompanying the application 

 with 85. This insures membership for the current year. 



After April 1 the by-laws will go into full effect under 

 which the formalities for joining are greater as well as the 

 initiation fee. 



We hope for a generous response from American sports- 

 men under the above notice, and all communications on the 

 subject may be addressed either to the president, or secretary 

 aud treasurer as below, John S. Wise, President, 21 East 

 Seventy-sixth street, New York city.

THE ALBANY DOG SHOW. 



ALBANY, March «. -Editor Forest and Stream: The 

 second annual dog show of the Albany Kennel Club 

 opened this morning in the Academy of Music. There was 

 a ball in the building last night, and the managers of the 

 dog show did not obtain possession until four o'clock this 

 morning. The superintendent is deserving of much credit 

 for having succeeded in fitting up the benches in good time. 

 The number of entries is something over 300. The judging 

 began at 2 o'clock, good time considering the large amount 

 of work that had to be done. Some of the judging is not at 

 all satisfactory, especially in the mastiff and fox-terrier 

 classes. So far Mr. Tallman has done the best work and 

 given the most satisfaction. The attendance to-day has 

 been light, taut the management hope for taetter support 

 during the remaining days. 



THE EASTERN FIELD TRIALS CLUB has issued the 

 fol lowing card for the guidance of handlers who intend run- 

 ning dogs at the trials this year: "In issuing the revised 

 running rules for 1889, the governors of the Eastern Field 

 Trials Club hereby call attention of all owners and trainers 

 to the following considerations and requirements: Experi- 

 ence has shown that a dog to exhibit his natural qualities 

 to the best advantage, must be well broken, and in order to 

 relieve the judges from all possible responsibility in award- 

 ing a heat between a dog of great ability iDsufficieutly 

 broken, and an inferior dog well broken, the club will insist 

 upon all dogs being thoroughly trained. They will instruct 

 their judges to insist upon perfect backing, steadiness to 

 shot and wing, obedience and retrieving, and to penalize 

 disobedience, unsteadiness, false pointing, or any other 

 quality impairing the usefulness of a dog for every day 

 shooting, to the fullest extent of which the rules admit." 



CHICAGO DOG SHOW. — Chicago, Feb. 26. — Editor 

 Forest and Stream: I am requested bv our bench show 

 committee to call attention to au unintentional error in 

 our premium list. The specials offered by the St. Bernard 

 Club are four silver cups each valued at $25, one for best 

 smooth-coated dog or bitch, one for best rough-coated dog 

 or bitch, one for best American-bred smooth-coated dog or 

 bitch, and one for best American-bred rough -coated dog or 

 bitch.— John L, Lincoln, Jr., Secretary. 



BLACK AND TAN TERRIERS AT NEW YORK.— Phil- 

 adelphia, Feta. 25.— Editor Forest and Stream: Being a new 

 exhibitor of black and tan terriers, I would like to tae in- 

 formed why the judge at the New York show, (Mr, Baillie) 

 gave first prize in the bitch class to Meersbrook Maiden, 

 who has a white spot on her breast fully two inches long, 

 which the standard says is a disqualifying point. I ex- 

 hibited, as I am informed by competent judges, a fair speci- 

 men in Queen Bess, which was passed without a notice. If 

 judges are to award prizes to dogs with white breasts, bow 

 will breeders know what standard to breed to ? I am in- 

 formed by breeders of black and tans, that any puppies ap- 

 pearing with white breasts are generally consigned to the 

 bucket. I would like to know from Mr. Baillie or some of 

 the other judges of black and tan terriers why my bitch was 

 passed without a notice.— Frank Hope. 



RABBIT DOGGING— Mr. W. Wade writes: In a letter 

 just received from W. C. Kennerly, Esq., ("Old Dominion") 

 he says, "I have no objection in the world that the Forest 

 AND Stream should have my opinion of this rabbit baiting 

 business, it is pronounced and decided." I therefore inclose 

 Mr. Kennerly's opinion. I am no sportsman, but I do not 

 think it wall be disputed that he is. He says, "I consider 

 a regular rat killing, such as is indulged in by the plugs and 

 roughs around our cities, a far more reputable and sports- 

 manlike proceeding than the murdering in cold blood of 

 rabbits; and as to the sport in it, if that is to be considered 

 sport, then we might as welt all shoot our bird dogs and fox- 

 hounds and break our guns and let sport go to the devil." 



LYNN DOG SHOW. — The managers of the Lynn dog 

 show will add open classes for spaniels other than black for 

 each sex, with prizes the same as in other classes, There 

 will be a special of §25 for the best pointer. The Beagle 

 Club offer a cup for the best beagle, owned by a member. 

 The Collie Club offer $10 for the best collie bred in the 

 United States or Canada, and the Cluta silver medal for the 

 best collie puppy. Entries close March 1.1. The address of 

 the secretary is D. A. Williams, Lynn, Mass. 



ST. BERNARD CLUB MEETING.— The monthly meet- 

 ing of the board of governors will be held March 11, 8* P. M., 

 at the Hoffman House, New York city. A number of ap- 

 plicants, and the position taken by the New England Ken- 

 nel Club at their coming show regarding rough and smooth- 

 coated classes will come up for discussion. A full attend- 

 ance is requested.— Lorenzo Daniels, Sec'y. (New York, 

 March 1.) 



BEAU CHAMP.— South Framingham, Mass. March L— 

 Editor Forest and Stream.: To correct a misunderstanding, 

 which I am told has arisen, I wish to say that I bought out 

 Miss Anna H. Whitney's interest in the imported St. Ber- 

 nard dog Beauchamp, and became his sole owner before the 

 New Bedford show, Jan. 16. Since then I have sold an 

 interest in him to W. F. Tilton, of Natick, Mass.— J. R. 

 Teague.
