FOREST AND STREAM. 



[April 18, 1889, 



is undersize arid possesses far too mauy defects for the show 

 bench. Chest twice too wide, legs not well set, not quite 

 straight in front, light behind. Italian greyhound gait. 

 Ramona, third prize, is an unevenly balanced specimen with 

 fairly good head and neck, but very light in thighs, under- 

 size, and neither light in shoulders nor ribs. Lady, vhc, is 

 an Italian weed that must have been entered by mistake. 

 Minnie, c, will never be. noticed by a judge of this breed: 

 she is a mongrel and a bad one at that. Bad in head, legs, 

 feet, pasterns and body and not showing the slightest parti- 

 cle of muscle or power behind. Minnie is actually the most 

 peculiar looking animal we have ever seen exhibited in the 

 greyhound class. Every exhibit in this class was noticed, 

 but there was not a show dog in the lot. 



POINTERS— (MAJOR TAYLOK). 



had and Lass of Bow were the exhibits in the challenge 

 classes for heavy weights. Of eleven shown in the open 

 class for heavy-weight dogs two were absent and one not for 

 competition. Patterson, first prize, is not a good one. De- 

 fects: Croxteth skull; face a trifle dished and too deep in 

 stop; color of eyes too light; neck rather heavy and not quite 

 clean; hang of ears not perfect, ribs not carried well back: 

 loin strong, but not very well arched; knees not perfect; too 

 short and slanting from hips to stern; hocks too straight; 

 shoulders should be closer. A rather coarse, second-class 

 dog. Luck of Idstoue. second prize, was sent home soon 

 after the judging, but for what reason we cannot say. Tory 

 White, third prize, is as good as the lirst prize winner. This 

 dog is well known. Trinket's Gash, vhc, is heavy in skull, 

 bad in eyes, throaty, light and flat in loin, straight and 

 light behind, slab-sided and lacking in character and 

 quality. His legs are well set and lie has good feet, shoul- 

 ders and stern. Duke, unnoticed, is quite as good a dog as 

 Trinket's Cash. He was described in the St. Paul report. 

 Osborn Ale, not for competition, is rather plain in head, too 

 wide in front, not right in set of legs, straight behind and 

 throaty. Notwithstanding these defects he moves well and 

 has a workmanlike appearance. Kaiser, unnoticed, has a 

 long and rather coarse head, is leggj', light in quarters, 

 wrong in feet, light in bone and was lame when we ex- 

 amined him. Joe, unuoticed, is a better specimen than 

 Trinket's Cash, that was vhc. Defects: Full below the eyes; 

 not true in front; shows coarseness; stern too long: lacks 

 character. There was little quality in this class. 



First in the corresponding class for bitches was given to 

 Pride of Idstone, a conspiciously unjust decision. In the 

 first place she is not a large size pointer, and iu the second 

 she is not a show dog in any one point, She has a nasty, 

 plain head, with domed muzzle and houndy character. She 

 is very throaty, has badly carried ears and is fiat-sided, flat 

 in loin, not good iu feet; iu fact, she is a bad one. Strange 

 stories were told of the way iu which she was packed with 

 biscuits, to make her heavy enough to compete in the class, 

 and these stories may or may not be true. Oue thing, how- 

 ever, is certain, and that is that Pride of Idstone, under 

 weight or over weight, is one of the queerest-looking 

 pointers that has ever been decorated with a prize card. 

 Queen, second prize, should have been first. She is rather 

 weak in face, a trifle throaty, light in bone, coarse in stern, 

 a bit leggy, not right in set of legs and she would be im- 

 proved by depth in loin. Jingle, he., is all over a better 

 specimen than the first prize winner. She should have been 

 second. Defects: Tail docked, ears neither quite right in 

 set nor carnage, feel not first-class, too much width through 

 the front. Berdie, third prize, is also a better specimen than 

 the first prize winner. Defects: Rather shallow in head and 

 weak in toreface, hang of ears not correct , throaty, rather 

 wide in front, legs not well set. light in bone, gait not cor- 

 rect, Fannie, vhc, is fairly good in head, but light in bone, 

 straight behind, coarse in stern and not first-class in feet! 

 She is as good as the third prize winner aod better than the 

 first prize winner. Midnight, unnoticed, is a black bitch, 

 rather full in cheeks, not quite clean iu muzzle, a bit low at 

 the shoulders, not clean iu hocks and rather too wide 

 behind. She is as good as the third prize winner. West- 

 minister Sal was absent. This was a wretchedly poor class. 



Naso of Kippen was alone in the challenge class for light- 

 weight dogs. In the bitch class Queen Fan was given first, 

 and second prize Was withheld from Queen Bow; the last 

 named was too fat. She is a better bitch than the winner. 

 Duke of Hessen scored a very easy win in the open class for 

 dogs. Trinket's Coin, second prize, is light in eyes, heavy 

 in skull, throaty, bad iu feet, stands back at the knees, not" 

 perfectly straight in front, flat in loin, high in stern and 

 not good in hocks. Chicago Wick, third prize, is rather 

 heavy in skull, not quite clean in muzzle, too heavy in neck 

 and wide iu front, and he falls away tun much from' the hips 

 to the stern, is too loug in tail, and is neither right iu stifles 

 nor in hocks. Sancho Panza, lie, should have been second 

 to Duke of Hessen. Defects: Slight fullness in forehead; 

 slight throatiness; legginess; light in bone. He is all over a 

 better specimen than the second prize winner. Marko, he, 

 is not nearly so good a dog as Sancho Panza. Defects: 

 Weak before the eyes, fold of ears not correct: neck heavy 

 and throaty; crooked in frout; feet turning outward; weak 

 knees; coarse stem; straight hocks; short from hips to stern. 

 Van Guard, c, is too heavy in skull, wrong in muzzle, bad 

 in neck, light iu loiu and quarters, straight behind and not 

 straight in front, light in bone. He is a merry, easy-moving 

 dog, with a nice coat and some style and that is all. Black 

 Crook, c, is light in loin, rather coarse in head, light in 

 eyes, throaty, a trifle out at the elbows, not perfect in feet 

 and he lacks true character. In chest and loin he will do. 

 Robert Spring, unnoticed, is throaty, out at elbows, low at 

 shoulders, flat sided, light in eyes, bad in breast, lathy and 

 lacking in quality. Lad King Don, unnoticed, is not quite 

 right below the eyes, wrong iu hang of ears, throaty for a 

 youngster, not perfectly straight in front and only fair in 

 feet. He moves badly behind, and the redeeming qualities 

 are (airly good head and good chest and loin. 



First m bitches was easily won by the St. Paul winner, 

 Lady Price— mill turn in parvo— and the Idstone Kennels, 

 that had far more luck than dog, came second with Phan- 

 tom. Defects: Yellow eyes, wrong hang of ears, coarse 

 bead, Croxteth loin, straight hocks, too wide behind, stern 

 not well carried, feet not first-class, body rather shallow. 

 Her best points are straight legs and lengthy neck. Flirt, 

 third prize, is a better specimen. Defects: Not quite right 

 iu muzzle; ears set high and not quite right in carriage; 

 rather wide in front; does not stand quite true in front; feet 

 might be better. Chicago Fawn, vhc, while not in the best 

 of coat, should have been third, Miss Idstone, vhc, is 

 throaty, not quite right in muzzle, wrong in shoulders and 

 set of legs, bad in feet, not straight iu front, aud a bit wrong 

 in stifles and hocks. Her head and body are the best points 

 in her. Frienzi, vhc Defects: Stop not quite right; car- 

 riage of ears not perfect; a trifle throaty; wrong in set of 

 legs; light aud straight behind; whip tail; rather lathy and 

 light throughout. The redeeming features are length of 

 neck, good feet and nice quality. Bodine's Dell, he. De- 

 fects: Hang of ears not right; throaty; a bit flat in body; 

 rather coarse in stern; feet not quite right; hocks and stifles 

 not quite the thing. Quite as good a specimen as Miss Id- 

 stone, that was given vhc Top, c Defects: Not clearly 

 cut below the eyes; stop not right; ears too high; set of leg's 

 not perfect; light in bone. Meteor's Dell, c, is wrong at 

 both ends. Fan, unnoticed, is light in eyes, bad in ears, 

 lathy, light in bone and all wrong behind. Myrtie, unno- 

 ticed, lacks in head, ears, neck and hindparts. Sal It, 

 unnoticed, should have been transferred to the heavy-weight 

 class. Barring Lass of Bow, she was decidedly the best 

 large pointer bitch in the show. We called Mr. T. Don- 

 oghue's attention to this bitch and he had her bought in 

 quick time. Westminster Luna, vhc, has many faults, yet 



shows quality withal. Defects: Kippen eyes; throaty; not 

 straight in front; not quite, right in muzzle or stop; stern 

 coarse and not well carried: not quite right behind. She 

 showed signs of having been dressed for the mange. 



The light-weight pointers, while not a level lot, were de- 

 cidedly better than the heavy-weights. The puppy classes 

 showed an absence of true pointer character and quality. 

 First in dogs went to Premier Hessen, a son of Duke of 

 Hessen and Peaehstone, When fully developed he will not 

 be a show dog. Defects: Bad eyes, ears set to high; feet 

 not first-class and turning outward; leggy; stern rather 

 long; loin flat; color dirty. Graphic's General, second 

 prize, is not deep enough in stop and his eyes are rather 

 light. He has a lengthy neck that is spoiled by throatiness, 

 is too light and flat in loin, not very strong in knees (in this 

 respect he may improve), too long and coarse in stern and 

 light and narrow behind, Wonderful Lad, third prize, will 

 never be a show dog. Defects: Foreface shallow and not 

 clearly cut; feet not in good position; loin light and long; 

 tail too long and not nicely carried. First in bitch puppies 

 went to Lady Trinket, that is not a show bitch. Defects: 

 Coarse head; ears not right in fold; light in loin; straight 

 behind; legs not perfectly straight and feet not first-class. 

 Lady Wallace, second prize, has plain head and sour expres- 

 sion, is coarse in stern, Hat iu loiu and straight in hocks. 

 She cannot possibly develop into a show bitch. Fern, third 

 prize, has these defects: Muzzle not of correct formation; 

 hang of ears not right; stern not straight: bad hindfeet; 

 rather light in bone; legs and feet not of the best; too 

 straight behind, Clio, c, is light in eyes, coarse, straight 

 in hocks and lacking in character. She has good legs and 

 feet. Spot, unuoticed, has a long, weak head, is bad be- 

 hind, weedy and minus true pointer character. 



ENGLISH SETTERS— (MAJOR TAYLOR). 



There were no entries in the challenge classes, and the 

 quality of the open classes was not what we expected to find 

 where the. setter takes precedence of all other breeds. Cin- 

 cinnatus, that was third at New York aud fully described in 

 these columns, was an easy winner of first. Although not 

 quite a good one, he stood out in bold relief from the rest 

 of the class. Toledo Blade, second prize, is a little, wear- 

 and-tear-looking dog, that is not up to show form. Defects: 

 Color of eyes too light; stop too deep; muzzle not perfect; 

 not perfectly straight in front; feet turning outward, 

 slightly, and pasterns not sufficiently upright; rather too 

 wide through the shoulders; not well bent in hocks and with 

 stern boo high. He would be nowhere near the money if 

 shown in a good class, and on this occasion should have 

 given way to Meadowthorpe Heather Jock, that got he 

 Sportsman, third prize, is a strong, useful-looking dog, but 

 as his owner rightly put it, "not a show dog." There were 

 a dozen or more better dogs for the place. He has plain 

 head, rather straight behind and short in coat. King's Dan, 

 vhc, is not nearly so good a dog as Meadowthorpe Heather 

 Jock. Defects: Head heavy; out at elbows; bad feet; flat 

 loin; bad stern, ropy aud carried high; straight behiud; 

 wrong in gait; coat not right. Rey Roderigo, he: Eyes not 

 quite right; not perfectly straight in front; pasterns hot per- 

 fect; stifles too much in: body rather light; in other points 

 he will do. Duke Gladstone's Boy. Defects: Plain head: 

 ears not correct; high stern; standing too high; coat not 

 Hrst-ehtss; set of legs might be better. Nebraska, c, is coarse 

 and heavy in head, very throaty, coarse. The redeeming 

 points are good bone and feet, straight legs and strength 

 throughout. Marquis N., e„ was exceedingly lucky in being 

 noticed. Leaving out of the question his numerous and 

 serious defects, he was not in fit condition for the show 

 bench. Loin very light; bad stern; light in bone; wrong in 

 carriage of ears; bad in feet; curly; not a show dog. Chip, 

 C, was also out of condition. His head is a bit plain, but 

 the outline is not bad. He is straight in hocks anclnot quite 

 right in set of legs. His knees are not very strong, his eyes 

 are not quite right and his flag is not perfect. He is also 

 leggy, stilty, light in bone and not right rn knees. We can- 

 not recognize him as a show dog. Zippo, unnoticed, is curly, 

 hea vy in head (it is not badly formed), straight in hocks, not 

 quite right in set of legs. He is a far better dog than Moxie. 

 Buck N., unnoticed, is bad iu coat, light and flat in loin, 

 coarse in head, high in stern, lathy and rather throaty. Rex, 

 unnoticed, is plain in head, heavy in neck, throaty, straight 

 behind and not quite straight iu front. Drake, unnoticed, 

 lacks in head, eyes, position of hocks, aud does not stand 

 quite true iu front, 



First in bitches was won by Bohemian Girl, a well-known 

 field trial winner, of entirely different type from Cinciu- 

 nalus and Toledo Blade. The. judge has 'a perfect right to 

 insist that dogs like Goldstone, Keystone, Toledo Blade and 

 others of the like are the correct type aud should win on the 

 bench; but he must not shift from Thunder to a Toledo 

 Blade and thence to a Bohemian Girl, if Ciucinnatus and 

 Toledo Blade were the best specimens iu the dog class, 

 Liberty 11., vhc. in the bitch el ass, should have won over 

 Mr. J. Shelley Hudson's brace. She is one of the razor- 

 blade type, flat in ribs, straight behind, leggy, short in coat 

 and feather, hard as iron, wiry as pin wire, "and looks like 

 running a ten-minute race at a speed that would only be 

 eclipsed by greased lightning. We do not care which of the 

 types a man holds to. so long as he is consistent; but there 

 was no consistency in placing Bohemian Girl first, although 

 we admit that she was the best setter in the class. We will 

 give a full description of this bitch: Stop not clearly cut; 

 rather full below the eyes; skull too wide— a head lacking 

 cleanness and which would look better on a dog; neck of 

 good length, yet not quite clean; set of forelegs not perfect 

 and the legs themselves not quite straight; good feet; body 

 somewhat cylindrical in formation; loin not nicely turned: 

 good behind; strong in bone; moves well. Texas Daisy, 

 second prize, is rather wide iu skull and a bit shallow and 

 coarse in muzzle. She stands on fairly good pins, but lacks 

 the razor-blade bodies of the winners in the dog class. Set 

 of forelegs not perfect— a defect which causes the feet to 

 turn inward, slightly; feet not perfect, especially the hind 

 ones; is not quite right behind and would do with more 

 bone. Cambriana, third prize, was removed before we had 

 a chance to see her. Dixie, reserve, is not quite right in 

 lips, not perfectly straight in front, is throaty, and having 

 had puppies, was not in good condition. This is a useful- 

 looking one. Bess, he, has a niceish head, that is hardly 

 deep enough in stop and neither quite perfect below the 

 eyes nor in lips. She does not stand quite true in front, is 

 too short in coat at present, aud was not well shown. Polly, 

 unnoticed, is of Irish type and is wrong in feet, thighs, 

 hocks, ears and flag. Sue of Hatchie, unnoticed, was shown 

 too fat. She is weak in face, wrong in eyes, light iu bone, 

 straight behind, short and steex> from hips" to stern and has 

 not a catchy color to recommend her. Knights Bell, un- 

 noticed, has white eyelids, is round in skull, not clean in 

 muzzle, a bit throaty and wrong from hips to stern. We 

 thought her worth a card. Helen N, c, was not in show 

 condition. Defects: Set of legs not correct; feet only moder- 

 ate: not. perfectly straight in front; tail ropy and carried 

 high. M 7 Liss C unnoticed, is doggy in head and a bit 

 wrong in front. She appeared to be heavy in whelp, but was 

 worth a card. Lady Pearl, unnoticed, is a bit sheepish in 

 head, light in bone, heavy and wide in front and light and 

 narrow oehind. Rena H., also unnoticed, is of Laverack 

 type. She is not quite right in stop, is out at elbows and too 

 wide in front. Her fairly good head, excellent body and 

 strong hindquarters should have earned her a card. Countess 

 Amelia was absent. Puppies were not strong in quality. 

 Dad Wilson's Boy, promising in head, legs, feet and coat 

 and with razor-blade body, was clearly the best in the class. 

 With a better stern, deeper body and better spruug ribs he 

 would be a good one. Blue Link, second prize, is rather 



heavy in skull a,nd throaty for a pup. He is not perfectly 

 straight in frout, his feet are not of the best, is a trifle leggy, 

 longm stern, not good behind the hips and lacks quality. 

 We liked the third winner, Draco's Mark, for the place. 

 Defects: Forehead rather too prominent; ears somewhat 

 short; too straight behiud; knees not quite right. If he 

 does not develop coarseness in head he will be heard from 

 a^ain. Sir Darnoc, c, is handicapped on account of age. 

 Given a little more time he will beat two that were placed 

 ahead of him. Lady Harriet, second in the bitch class, 

 should have won easily over Blue Fan, that is coarse in head 

 and muzzle, throaty, not quite straight iu front, not good 

 in feet, cow-hocked, light in quarters and leggy. She beats 

 Blue Fan only iu eyes and forelegs. We predict that if ever 

 these bitches come together again Lady Harriet will win 

 with many points to spare. 



IRISH SETTERS— (MAJOR TAYLOR). 

 In the absence of Elcbo. Jr., from the challenge class for 

 Irish setter dogs, Blarney, iu nice condition, took the prize. 

 Iu bitches Nellie and Loir II., that have bceu the round of 

 the shows, were first aud second in the order named. Both 

 were looking well considering the knocking about they have 

 had of late. Mack N, first in the open class for dogs, is a 

 new one to us. Head rather heavy; neck not clean; eyes 

 rather light; coat not in the best of condition. A useful- 

 looking dog, with good hindquarters and standing on 

 proper legs and feet. Nelson, second prize, has rather 

 short, but well carried ears, a head that might be higher 

 between the ears and cleaner below the eyes." He is rather 

 throaty, not quite straight in front, stands back at the 

 pasterns, is not perfect in feet, too flat in ribs, aud falls too 

 abruptly from the hips. He is good in other points and has 

 beautiful color. Max, third prize; head too strong, throaty, 

 flat iu ribs, feet not first-rate, coat a. bit open, loin "flat, fairly 

 good in other points and excellent in color. Mardo, reserve, 

 was first in the puppy class, and he had been sent home be- 

 fore we reached his stall. Meadowthorpe Rover, vhc, is 

 defective in head, rather light in quarters, and not quite 

 right in hocks. He has good body, legs and feet, aud nice 

 quality of coat. Dandy, lie, is rather wide in skull and not 

 quite right in muzzle. He is also too wide through the 

 shoulders and a trifle straight in hocks. Prince Rufus, c, 

 is rather coarse in head, which is too wide and flat. He is 

 also wide in front, rather light in bone and a bit short in 

 coat. He has good body, fine color, and is a merry and usi- 

 ful-looking one. Irish Pat, c, is coarse in head,"light and 

 flat iu loin, short from the hips back, straight behind, high 

 in stern, wrong in ears and a bit throaty. Patsy, c, 

 lacks in ears, muzzle below the eyes, stop, hindquarters, 

 and was shown short in coat and too fat. Donegal Bov, 

 unnoticed, was one of the best dogs in the class. He 

 moved a bit lame, owing to having received a slight cut 

 on one of his forefeet. As it was easy to see that his 

 trouble was only temporary, he should not, we think, have 

 been pegged back. Tim Pepper, unnoticed, is fairly good in 

 head, although be lacks a bit both in stop and in muzzle. 

 His feet are not of the best, he is rather slack in loin and a 

 bit wrong in his quarters and in his hocks. He has a very 

 fine color. Gordon, unnoticed, is coarse in head, straight be- 

 hind and not rich in color. Mac, Jr., also unnoticed, lacks 

 in head, shoulders, set of legs aud carriage of hindquarters. 

 First in the bitch class was won by Kitty O'Brien, whose 

 color is simply superb. Defects: Brow a trifle too promi- 

 nent; stop and below eyes not clearly cut; feet not right; 

 falls away behind; would be improved by more bone. 

 Against these defects we find good ears, neck, chest, back, 

 loin and coat. This bitch came near being a rattling good 

 one. Second prize went to Bess. Defects: Stop and muzzle 

 just belowthe eyes not perfect; knees not very strong; limbs 

 rather light; loin flat and hardly strong enough; color not 

 quite first-class. A bitch showing nice quality, but hard 

 pressed for the place by her kennel companions Megora and 

 Lorraine, that were vhc. and he, respectively. These are 

 quality bitches that beat the third prize winners fifteen or 

 twenty points. What the judge was doing to get Nino into 

 third place is something we cannot explain. She is coarse 

 in head and muzzle, has high set ears, is light in bone, very 

 light in hocks and hindfeet, curly on the quarters, has a 

 nasty, wiry coat and is all wrong in color. Irish Lass, vhef 

 fails in stop, in muzzle below the eyes, in feet and their posi- 

 tion. She is also a bit thick through the shoulders and light 

 in feather. She is altogether a better specimen than the 

 third prize winner. Belle of Monico, c, rather plain in head, 

 defective in hang^of ears, too straight in hocks and not first- 

 class in color. She equals the third prize winner. Lone 

 Star Queen, unnoticed, is weak before the eyes, bad behind, 

 wide in front, light in bone and too chunky. Buckeye's 

 Pride, unnoticed, has a, stumpy head, is weedy, straight, 

 behind and undersized. Puppies had been removed before 

 we reached them. 



GORDON SETTERS— (MAJOR TAYLOR). 

 The challenge classes for Gordons were represented by 

 Little Boy, Don and Rose. There was a lot of fun over the 

 judging of the open class for dogs. Mr. "Scotch" Baillie, 

 who had charge of Meadowthorpe Heather Harold, Meadow- 

 thorpe Heather Roy and Meadowthorpe Laddie, did not wish 

 to win the prize with his best dog, because a win at this 

 show would have put him iu the challenge class. Some- 

 body told him that Mr, "Ben" Lewis was particularly lucky 

 in winning prizes under Major Taylor's judgment. On hear- 

 ing this he decided to let "Ben" show his second best dog, 

 Meadowthorpe Heather Roy, and he took hold of Meadow- 

 thorpe Heather Harold. "Ben's" good luck did not desert 

 him, and Meadowthorpe Heather Roy was placed over his 

 more typical kennel companion, Meadowthorpe Heather 

 Harold. There was a good deal of laughing aud merry- 

 making, and we are in a position to state that it was not 

 done at Mr. "Scotch" Baillie's expense. The third prize 

 winner is light in color, straight behiud, throaty, too nar- 

 row through the thighs, open in coat, not first-class iu stern 

 and a trifle coarse throughout. His head, bone and feet 

 pulled him through. Leaf, vhc. is coarse iu head, heavy 

 in neck, wide in front, rather light in eyes, not first-rate in 

 stern, not perfectly straight in front, and is on the coarse 

 side. Bone and color are his best points. Sancho, c, pos- 

 sesses many defects. Straight behind, bad in feet, not 

 straight in front, rather light iu loin, a. bit leggy, too short 

 in coat and a bit stilty. Stubble, unnoticed, must have, been 

 entered by mistake. He may be a fair specimen of the 

 "623* Per cent, type," but he is not a Gordon setter, and not 

 all the printer's ink in America will make him one. Sir 

 Donald, unnoticed, has a heavy, coarse head, is wide in 

 front, loose in neck skiu and straight behind. Mr. "Ben." 

 Lewis had his usual good luck in the open class for bitches. 

 It is hardly necessary to state that Meadowthorpe Belmont, 

 that was given second prize, is decidedly a better specimen 

 than the first prize winner, Vic Becky Sharp, well known, 

 was rightly placed third. Moss Rose, unnoticed, is plain in 

 head, throaty, wide in front and wrong in coat. Rose, also 

 unnoticed, is bad in head, weedy and leggy. May, e, has a 

 head of English type and is throaty, not straight in front, 

 bad in feet, wrong in carriage of stern, and her forelegs are 

 not well set. Her hindquarters are good. Two puppies 

 were shown in the two classes provided. They were each 

 given a third prize. If Minnie, that was not 'in her stall 

 when we called, is no better than Thurman, it is as well 

 that we did not see her. 



FOXHOUNDS— (MAJOR TAYLOR). 



Here there were three entries in the dog class, but none in 

 the bitch class. Parker, first prize, had the best head, bone 

 and brush of the three. He is leggy, light in loin, weak iu 

 second thighs and poor in coat. Dan, Jr., second prize, is 

 plain in head, light in bone, off iu feet, flat in middle, wrong
