FOREST AND STREAM. 



LSept. 6, 1888. 



THE TWO DOG CLUBS. 



Editor Forest and Stream: 



Mr. Anthony declines to avail himself of the opportunity 

 I offered him to prove his title to the term gentleman by 

 withdrawing his libelous statements about myself in his 

 open letter to Dr. Perry. This is his reply: 



August 37, 1888.— Mr. James Watson: Sib— I have yours of Aug. 

 2o. I have not called at the office of the Forest and Stream for 

 Oj long time, and c?o not propose doing so. If you ha ve any evidence 

 to offer that I am mistaken I shall he glad to see it. I am at my 

 office each day between 12 and 1 o'clock, where you can see me; or 

 if you will notify me, making an appointment, giving me aue 

 notice of another hour, I will be present. It seems to me. that for 

 a man who writes so loosely as you do that you are pretty thin 

 skinned. But that is always the ease with people who live in glass 

 houses. I am, etc., James L. Anthony. 



The open letter was published in the Turf, Field and 

 Farm, ami received an editorial indorsement." I therefore 

 wrote to the editor, with the result that he gave equal pub- 

 licity to the following: 



We publish this week a card from Mr. James Watson. He says 

 that he did not influence the bench show- action of the Buffalo 

 International Fair Association. This is explicit. * * * We 

 have known him, as he reminds us, a good many years, and dur- 

 ing that time we have had occasion to agree and disagree with 

 him. Wo did not lose faith in him when he ceased to think as 

 we thought, nor did we. praise him extravagantly when he made 

 our fight his light. We. try to preserve an intellectual poise no 

 matter what happens. Mr. Watson has been a long time in build- 

 ing up a reputation, and it is but natural that he should feel 

 sensitive when it is assailed. It is his capital, his stock in trade. 



I do not thiuk 1 need say anything further on the subject, 

 except that under no circumstances would I visit Mr. 

 Authony's office after his having told me that on one 

 occasion when a gentleman was to call on him respecting a 

 field trial match his own stenographer was to be within 

 hearing to take the conversation, unknown to the visitor. 



I thiuk you had better head this "Knocked out iu the First 

 Round.'' unless you object to pugilistic reminders. 



Jas. Watson. 



Editor Forest and Stream: 



A transposition of order of names appears in my commu- 

 nication as printed iu your issue of Aug. 30. I wrote that 

 I bad just learned that Messrs. Elliot Smith and Drake were 

 delegates; but, as printed, it reads that T had just learned 

 this of Messrs. Winslow and Drake, which would doubtless 

 make Mr. Winslow question either my sanity or rny ver- 

 acity. W. Wade. 



Hulton, Pa., Aug. 31. 



"DISGRUNTLED ASSOCIATES." 



Editor Forest and Strea7n: 



One more misstatement of Mr. Belmont's remains for dis- 

 position, and that chess stack is thrashed out. Concerning 

 the pewter medal business, Mr. Belmont says that "Mr. 

 Drake, of St. Paul, offered a new rule, which was adopted 

 and is now in force, that on and after that date medals ad- 

 vertised as gold and silver must be of the purity of TJ- S. 

 coin; medals of alloy can be described as club medals" (my 

 italics). That is the rule that Mr. Drake proposed. The 

 rule that was adopted, or at least given forth as what was 

 adopted, reads that medals of alloy "must" (or "shall") be 

 described as club medals, a totally different rule, and it is 

 certain that Mr. Drake never proposed any such jackass 

 rule as preventing clubs from honestly describing bronze 

 medals as such. Mr. Belmont says that the rule as he gives 

 it is now in force. Is it? Then why does not the A. K. C. 

 discipline the Philadelphia and Westminster clubs? If he 

 is right they disregarded the A. K. C. rule and enacted ono 

 of their own (No. 27 1, which reads as follows: "All prizes 

 offered by the club or committee iu charge of a show must 

 be paid in accordance with the description given of them in 

 the premium list. Medals of silver or gold must be of the 

 purity of United States coin." 



Mr/ Belmont evidently does not know that when Mr. 

 Watson was a member of the executive committee he de- 

 voted his attention to perfecting the rules and constitution 

 af the A. K. C. I suppose he will hardly relish acknowledg- 

 ing the work done by that "disgruntled associate," but the 

 records tell the story. 



I suspect that the butchering of the rule, as Mr. Drake 

 proposed it, was done to allow some club to evade direct, 

 honest description of medals of base metal, by the euphemis- 

 tic dodge of "club medals," an old trick that has often been 

 resorted to, such as "champion medals," "champion cup," 

 etc. 



Mr. Belmont's entire course as president shows that he 

 simply cares to throw a tub to the whale, and does not take 

 the trouble to post himself on even the A. K. C. rules in 

 force at the time heiswritiug. This last mistake is most 

 inexcusable, for a reference to a show premium list would 

 have shown what the rule really is, yet the ] resident an- 

 nounces the law of the A. K. C. "now in force" as something 

 different from the plain words of the statute ! "NT°x+ \

Buxton, Pa., Aug. 25. 



MR. BELMONT'S FUTILE FALSEHOOD. 



ACTING of their own accord and contrary to the counsel 

 given to them by Dr. Perry, president of the National 

 Dog Club, who advised them to join the A. K. C, the man- 

 agers of the Bulfalo bench show elected to give their show 

 under the rules of the N. D. C. Thereupon the clique, who 

 have the running of the A. K. C, forthwith set to work 

 either to intimidate or bulldoze the Buffalo managers into 

 changing their rules, or else to ruin their show. These in- 

 triguers made use of a man named Busbey as a vehicle for 

 communicating their threats to Buffalo. Through Busbey 

 Buffalo was told that if it persisted in holding its show un- 

 der N. D. 0. rules the. members of the A. K. C. would with- 

 hold their entries; and Buffalo was given to understand that 

 this meant ruin, Not only was this harped on by Busbey 

 both by letter and in person, but Mr. August Belmont. Jr., 

 himself wrote, so we are informed, to parties in Buffalo 

 reiterating the same threats. In short, in every way possi- 

 ble did the members of the Broadway clique endeavor to 

 frighten the Buffalo managers into a change to A, K. C. 

 rules. Mr. August Belmont, Jr., the Tjresident of the A. K. 

 C„ having fulminated his bull of boycott against Buffalo, 

 went so far as to bolster up his menace, by deliberately, in a 

 public meeting of his club, committing himself to a false- 

 hood about the Forest and Stream's Boston show report. 

 Mr. Belmont had boycotted Boston just as he was threaten- 

 ing to boycott Buffalo. It was essential to the success of his 

 bulldozing tactics that he should make Buffalo believe that 

 a boycott by Belmont w T ould injure the show, hence he must 

 first cause them to believe that a boycott by Belmont had 

 injured Boston. The Foeest and Stream had reported that 

 the Boston show was successful. Mr. Belmont, therefore, 

 asserted that the Forest and Stream's report had been fal- 

 sified and that it misrepresented the success of Boston. 

 Called to account for this falsehood, Mr. Belmont added to 

 it another one, namely, that the Forest AND STREAM'S re- 

 port had been purposely made misleading and untruthful. 

 Then, on the politician's principle that a lie well stuck to 

 will answer for campaign purposes, Mr. Belmont "stuck." 



Now what are the effects of all these measures of inti- 

 midation? What has been the result of the underhanded 

 scheming, the bluster and the bullying of th^ Broadway 

 clique, the busy obediency of Busbey and the brazen false- 

 hoods of the belligerent Mr. August Belmont, Jr. ? They 



have been futile, absolutely futile. In spite of the extraor- 

 dinary efforts of the American Kennel Club— a club osten- 

 sibly interested in the success of dog shows— to crush the 

 Buffalo show, its entry list has closed with an enrollment of 

 400, among which, we are advised, are many of the noted 

 dogs of the country. Buffalo has amply demonstrated, as 

 Boston and New Haven have already demonstrated before, 

 that it is quite practicable to secure abundant support from 

 independent and fair-minded owners, in spite of the active 

 opposition of a club which, while American in name, is now 

 controlled by a band of individuals who have no more res- 

 pect for fair play than a dog catcher has for the distinction 

 between mcum et tuum. 



Mr. Belmont's futile falsehood respecting the Forest AND 

 STREAM and the Boston show failed of its purpose and did 

 not injure the Buffalo show. Whether or not it has in- 

 jured Mr. Belmont's repute for veracity among dog men 

 we shall not pretend to say. We feel that we have done 

 our duty by repeatedly calling on Mr. Belmont to send in 

 for publication anything in the way of alleged "proofs" he 

 might have which would tend to show that he had been de- 

 ceived by others into making his false statement about our 

 Boston report believing the statement to be true. 



The Buffalo entry list having closed, that false statement 

 can of course have no further effect on any dog owners who 

 might be influenced by it to withhold their dogs from Buf- 

 falo; and now that there is no further occasion for him to 

 '•stick, 1 ' we once more, and for the last time, urge Mr. Bel- 

 mont, for his own sake, to retract his false statement or 

 show that he was deceived by others into making it.

 Toledo, O., last week, had 166 entries. Messrs. John

RICHMOND DOG SHOW. 



TMCHMOND, Va., Aug. 27.— Editor Forest and Sream 

 JLti Will you kindly give place in your columns to the 

 inclosed two letters; one correcting some mistakes in our 

 premium list, and the other giving the rates from New York 

 to the Virginia bench show via Old Dominion Steamship 

 Co. I sincerely hope that the very low rates given by the 

 Old Dominion line will bring some of the New York fox- 

 hunters with their horses and dogs down to our exhibition, 

 and we promise them the best of snort. We have already 

 secured an abundant supply of foxes, both red and gray. 



Yours truly, J. S. Wise, Pres.

DOG TALK. 



AT the dog show recently held at Penzance, Eng., a black 

 aud tan terrier was shown with freshly cropped ears. 

 The Stocli-Keeper has this to say about it: "This case ex- 

 cited much comment at the time, aud we are not surprised 

 to hear that persons of humane feelings expressed them- 

 selves strongly upon being thus brought in full view of the 

 cruel custom of cropping. It is really extraordinary that 

 the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals are 

 powerless to repress this hideously painful practice, and 

 that the Kennel Club should continue to allow it; but, so 

 long as this state of affairs continues to exist, cropping is 

 legitimate. This regretful fact, however, does not justify an 

 exhibitor in showing a dog with the marks of the knife still 

 fresh on its lacerated ears. Besides sickening people with 

 the gruesome sight, the dog cannot be considered in a fit 

 condition for exhibition, aud on that ground alone the judge 

 should not hesitate to exert the authority that most com- 

 mittees intrust to him, and disqualify." 



Last week we made reference to the manifest and charac- 

 teristic fairness with which Dr. Perry, the president of the 

 N. D. C, has uniformly given to the public both sides of all 

 questions in dispute; and we contrasted with this the equally 

 manifest and equally characteristic want of fairness with 

 which Mr. Jas. L. Anthony, when he gave out for publica- 

 tion his insulting letter to Dr. Perry, suppressed Dr. Perry's 

 reply. _ Some unkind friend of Mr. Anthony "called his 

 attention" to this, and as a result we have received from him 

 just such a petulant, childish and blackguai'd letter as might 

 be looked for from a person who seems to think it necessary 

 to be forever, in season and out of season, telling people that 

 he is a gentleman. 



Messrs. E. M. Oldham and J. P. Willey have combined 

 their kennels of spaniels and will hereafter breed, show and 

 sell their stock under tbe name of Oldham & Willey. Cor- 

 respondence, relating to field spaniels should be addressed to 

 Mr. E. M. Oldham, Box 187, Fort Hamilton, L. L, N. Y., and 

 that relating to cocker spaniels to Mr. J. P. Willey, Salmon 

 Fall, N. H. This combination will make a very strong team. 



The Coughcura Medicine Co., Eau Claire, Wis., has re- 

 ceived from the kennel of Mr. F. Holford, Eng., the rough 

 coated St. Bernard bitch Noble Ida. She was whelped Jan. 

 22, 1886 and is by Gantes' Leo and out of Johnstone's Nell. 

 She won first at Dublin and Glasgow. She was bred to 

 PlinLimmon before leaving England." 



In addition to the loss of Newton Abbot Jubilee, noted in 

 our issue of Aug, 2, Mr. E. M. Oldham has lost by death 

 three other valuable spaniels, the well-known Newton 

 Abbot Beau, Prince and Priuce II. All died from a disease 

 very similar to diphtheria. 



Dr. Van Hummell, of Omaha, Neb., has sold his kennel of 

 deerhounds to Mr. S. W. Skinner, Auburudale, O., and in 

 future will devote his attention to greyhounds. 



The English Fox-Terrier Club will hold their next show 

 at the Westminster Aquarium , Nov. 14 to 16, in connection 

 with the fourth annual terrier show. 



The regular quarterly meeting of the American Kennel 

 Club will be held at 44 Broadway, New York, Sept. 12, at 

 10 A.M. 



Some of the dog mon in Connecticut are agitating the sub- 

 ject of the formation of a State Kennel Club. 



EASTERN FIELD TRIALS CLUB. — The regular quar- 

 terly meeting of the Eastern Field Trials Club will be held 

 at the St. James Hotel, corner of Broadway and Twenty- 

 sixth street, New York, Sept. 11, at 8 o'clock P. M, A full 

 attendance is desired as business of importance will come 

 before the club. 



DR. CRYER'S PUGS.— Philadelphia, Pa., Aug. 31.— 

 Editor Forest and Stream: I see it is the fashion for exhibit- 

 ors to announce through the press at what shows they intend 

 sending their dogs. Permit me to state that my dogs will 

 be at Buffalo, Syracuse and Richmond.— M. H, Cbyeb.
