IRISH AND GORDON SETTERS AT FIELD TRIALS. 



BOSTON, Feb. 26.— Editor Forest and Stream: The other 

 day I asked a well known owner and advocate of Irish 

 and Gordon setters why it was that these strains were never 

 seen at our field trials. His answer was: "Gordon and Hish 

 setters would come to the front as soon as 10-hour heats 

 would be established, for these dogs, for good, honest all-day 

 field work, were superior to the modem EDglish setters or 

 pointers. For one or two hours' flashy and brilliant per- 

 formances the Llewellyns were the best. This had been 

 shown over and over again at our field trials, but thorough 

 sportsmen who are themselves uot afraid of hard work 

 would, as a rule, prefer the Gordon or Irish setters for all 

 practical purposes." 



Now, for twenty-two years I have shot over English set- 

 ters, did most of my shooting in Virginia and North Caro- 

 lina during December and January, and never took with me 

 more than two dogs (English setters). I generally started 

 about T o'clock in the morning and got home after dark: 

 this I did daily for about six weeks, using the dogs alter- 

 nately. My dogs did their work as honest and as cheer- 

 fully as can be expected from any dog. 



I have not had much experience with Irish and Gordon 

 setters, but to judge from what I had formerly heard and 

 seen about them, "endurance and speed" do not seem to be 

 their forte. 



Much has been written and said about field trials; by some 

 they are considered true tests, by others mere circus per- 

 formances; and I believe that the only way to make these 

 trials really popular and important would be to establish 

 "all-day heats,' and if you, Mr. Editor, would enlighten the 

 public on the possibilities and advantages of such an under- 

 taking, all your readers would undoubtedly be under great 

 obligations to you. Stamina. 



FOX-TERRIERS AT NEW YORK. 



Editor Forest and Stream: 



I see that your reporter has taken Mr. Belmont to task 

 for giving the brace prize at New York to Raffle and Diana 

 over Raby Mixer and Richmond Dazzle, but "nary a word" 

 does he say about a decision which was fifty per cent, more 

 unjust and unpardonable. I refer to the kennel prize. This 

 was considered a gift to Mr. Thayer, with his very strong 

 team; but of course nobody was surprised that it was given 

 to the Messrs. Rutherfurd. Now, sir, are we to understand 

 from your reporter's silence that he considfred the brace 

 prize wrongly awarded andtheteam prize correctly awarded? 

 I have been in terriers for nearly fifteen years, and during 

 this time have never seen a more outrageously unjust de- 

 cision than the awarding of that kennel prize to the Ruth- 

 erfurds. Your reporter at New York, or perhaps I had 

 better say the gentleman who was taking notes nearly the 

 whole of the time, and who it was generally supposed was 

 representing your valuable paper, lias the reputation of be- 

 ing, by far, the best judge of dogs in this country; he has a 

 quick eye and has never before been known to allow so un- 

 just an award to go on record without a line of disapproval 

 behind it. He owes an explanation to himself, as well as to 

 the. fox-terrier fanciers, to say whether or not ha approves 

 such a flagrant miscarriage of justice. If he indorses the 

 decision I and others must'hereafter cousider him as ignor- 

 ant of the breed as Mr. Belmont himself. Let us hope that 

 his having failed to condemn this parody on judging was 

 due to an oversight. Bklvoik. 



THE UTICA SHOW. 



ISpeclal to FareM mul Stream.] 

 TTTICA, N. Y., March 13.— The dog show opened yester- 

 U day morning. There are 192 entries, of which 40 are 

 absent. The few exhibitors present are happy because only 

 seven of the dogs shown have failed to get a card. The at- 

 tendance was fairly good last evening, but this morning 

 only three or four visitors have passed the box office. The 

 management expect a better attendance this afternoon and 

 during the two remaining days. Ten of the eighty-one 

 classes are empty, and there are only nine English setters in 

 four classes, and only four Gordons in three classes. The 

 weather is lovely, and the club may yet come out ahead. 



M 



DOG TALK. 



R. D. N. HEIZER, of Great Bend, Kas., writes: "I have 

 just received a letter from Mr. Allison in regard to the 

 procurement of jack rabbits. He finds it up-hill business, 

 and the best he has been able to do so far has been to get 

 about 50 and them all local rabbits. He has made a number 

 of contracts with parties in California, who have invariably 

 failed to respond when it comes down to business. They 

 are not to be had simply for ordering. Since the 23d of 

 February, I have had three beautiful families on my hands. 

 Lady Milly Glendyne, with a remarkable family of eight. 

 Little Lady Glendyne, the proud niotlter of seven. Lady 

 Graham Glendyne, showing her teeth with jealous concern 

 over a family of six. They are as handsome a lot of little 

 greyhound puppies as has ever been my good fortune to 

 look upon, and I regard them a great contribution to the. 

 sport. They are doing well and will have the best of care." 



The report of the English St. Bernard Club for the past 

 year contains one paragraph that will undoubtedly possess 

 interest for American buyers. The report says: "The 

 Americans have been busy throughout the year Taking out 



some of our finest specimens of the breed; and it is gratify- 

 ing to be able to state that the English breeders have not 

 altogether suffered by their doing so, for the quality Of the 

 dogs exhibited at the late show was so high that it was the 

 general opinion that they were superior in almost every re- 

 spect to the dogs that haVe left the country." 



We have advices from Worcester, Mass., that the clog 

 show to be held there April 9 to 12, promises to be one of 

 the best of the year outside of New York and Boston. Every 

 arrangement is being made to insure its success. The 

 premium list is a liberal oue and many valuable specials 

 will be offered. Among the latter are *25 for the best St 

 Bernard, aud £10 each for best mastiff, fox-terrier, cocker 

 spaniel and collie. The judges are Messrs. N. Elmore, 

 beagles, foxhounds and dachshuude, S. R, Hemenway, 

 spaniels (classification No. 2). Fred. Gresham the remaining 

 classes. There will be a class for Yorkshire terriers, which 

 was by mistake omitted from the premium list. The show 

 building will be open on Saturday, and dogs that are ex- 

 hibited at Boston can be benched there and remain over 

 Sunday in care of their keepers until the opening of the 

 show. Many entries have already been received and the in- 

 dications are that the show will have the support of a large 

 number of the most prominent exhibitors. 



We are informed that when Uncle Dick received the medal 

 won by the Hornell-Harmony Kennels at the recent Pitts- 

 burgh show, a blush of injured innocence mantled his brow 

 as he pathetically exclaimed, "Great Scoot! To think that I, 

 of all men, should have won another pewter medal after 

 putting Mr. Wade up to exposing them before! Well, if this 

 isn't iheirouy of fate!" 



The Seitner-Carrie letter published in fac-simile in our 

 last issue has created something of a sensation. We trust 

 that the purpose of the publication will be attained in in- 

 fluencing all dog clubs to steer clear of men with unsavory 

 records, and to pin their faith to men only as Cresar's wife 

 should have been— above suspicion. 



The third meet of the Occidental Coursing Club, held at 

 Newark, Cab. Feb. 22, was a very successful one. The win- 

 ners were: First, Mr. Keating's Pat Malloy (King John- 

 Fanny Parnell): second, J. E. Watson's Saturday Night 

 ( Friday Night— Mother Demdike). 



Dr. M. H. Cry er informs us that the pedigree of his im- 

 ported pug dog Othello as it has been given is incorrect. 

 Mr-. Frank Griffin, formerly secretary of the English Pug 

 Dog Club, writes him that Othello is out of Scamp II. (Turn 

 Turn II.— Belle Petite). 



The English Kennel Club, at a recent meeting, decided to 

 admit Brighton and Darlington dog shows to the first class, 

 and it was voted that hereafter, instead of first and second 

 class shows, the distinction two-point and one-point shows 

 will be used. 



The Stoeli-Keeper very gravely says, "We are in a position 

 to state that it is not quite certain as to whether Mr. Wil- 

 liam Graham, of Belfast, will visit, in the capacity of judge, 

 San Francisco show or not." We doubt if the "Irish Am- 

 bassador" himself could better this. 



The Stock-Keeper says it is not at all improbable that the 

 collie dog champion The Squire will cross the water, his 

 destination being the Chestnut Hill Kennels. 



Mr. W. R. Tebbutt, Boston, Mass,, has purchased from 

 Mr. Freeman Lloyd, Londou, Eng., the old English sheep 

 dog Agricola, a winner at some of the recent English shows. 



The Collie Club of England, at a recent meeting voted 

 that the Collie Club Challenge Trophy is in future not to 

 be restricted to members of the club, but is to be open to all 

 comers. 



In our report of the New York show it was inadvertently 

 stated that Mr. Davidson judged foxhounds. Mr. Elmore 

 judged the American classes. 



There is considerable talk of combining a show of poultry 

 with the dog show of the Pacific Kennel Club, to be held in 

 May. 



Can any of our readers give us the pedigree of the mastiff 

 dog Lion, formerly owned by Mr. DuVerhet, Boston, Mass.? 



Entries for the Philadelphia Dog Show close April 1. The 

 address of the secretary is Francis S. Brown. 



The Scottish St. Bernard Club will hold a show of St. Ber- 

 nards at Glasgow. Scotland, next month. 



The Terrier show (London. Eng.) will be held at the Roval 

 Aquarium, April 3 to 5. 



LEE II.— New Market, Md., March 4.— Editor Forest and 

 Stream; I will admit my surprise when I read the report 

 of awards at New York, and more surprised when I read 

 the criticisms on beagles in FoRKST and StkeAM, which 

 says, "Lee II. is not a show dog; is plain and wedgy in head, 

 ears short and badly carried, body coarse." Of course people 

 that were at the show will take the awards and criticisms 

 for what they are worth, but those that were not there 

 might be misled. Lee II. has a beautiful head, loin, spread 

 of ears, and properly carried, fine chest, good body, nice 

 coat and brush, aud stands on legs and feet that are right. 

 He is a dog of very superior running qualities, and is the 

 build to stand hard work. The. stab he received at New 

 York may hardly be call a flesh wound. He has been in- 

 dorsed by several judges of the breed, and one of them 

 judged Fitzhugh Lee and gave him first, says Lee II. is as 

 good a dog as he, and has a better head. And I say it is 

 seldom one comes across so good a head and ears combined 

 as Lee II has. Let the cat hop as she may. Lee 11. is de- 

 serving the front ranks, and is going there "all the same."— 

 POTTINGKK DOKSEY. 



(The fact that Lee II. received no mention under so capable 

 and conscientious a judge as Mr. Elmore, is evidence suffici- 

 ent that this dog is not what is expected in a show dog. No 

 doubt he is a good field dog, but we consider him decidedly 

 lacking in show form. The opinion of one judge who 

 "judged Fitzhugh Lee and gave him first" goes for nothing. 



himself badly both in the ring and when we examined him, 

 and seemed to lack all the merry style of the beagle. As to 

 our opinion of the dog's head we cannot see the necessity of 

 changing anything in our criticism. Should this dog "go 

 to the front ranks," as Mr. Dorsey predicts, we would be 

 compelled to say that the quality of the breed is deteriorat- 

 ing. In a show dog we want bone, substance and strength, 

 combined with quality, elegance and symmetry. A dog may 

 have the former and be a good field dog. but a lack of the 

 latter unfits him for any honors on the bench.]

 Forest and Stream: The following additions have been 

 made to classes and specials: Collies (smooth), dogs and 



bitehes, Mr. S. W. Parker offers $10 for first and $5 for sec- 

 ond. The same gentleman also offers $10 for the best Irish
