 All-Aged Stakes of the Southern Field Trials Club. We 

 have thirty setters and thirty-two pointers, a total of sixty-

 are both good and cheap. There are certainly no better 

 grounds to be found.

LEILA.— Woodlawn, N. Y., Nov. 7.— Editor Forest and 

 Stream: I have been informed by most trustworthy and re- 

 liable sources that at the last Richmond (Va.) dog show a 

 rumor was most diligently spread, that my St. Bernard 

 bitch champion Leila was "going to pieces" and "all broken 

 up," and that this was the reason she was not shown at 

 either Buffalo, Syracuse or Richmond. As the principal dis- 

 seminators of this rumor Mr. Lacy and Mr. Hughes have been 

 named me. Now, in order to prevent a further spread of 

 this rumor, which has obviously been started to injure my 

 property as well as myself, I desire to herewith publicly 

 brand such rumor as an unwarranted and malicious lie, and 

 I challenge either of the parties named to prove the con- 

 trary. Neither of them has been at my kennel since I be- 

 came the happy possessor of the best living representative 

 of the old smooth Swiss St. Bernard, nor have they seen her 

 anywhere else since the Albany show, nor have I corres- 

 ponded with them. Of Mr. Hughes this does not surprise 

 me, but I am more than surprised that Mr. Lacy should so 

 far lower himself as to allow himself to be made (unknow- 

 ingly I trust) the tool for spite of some one else. I am happy 

 to be able to say that champion Leila is in as fine health 

 and condition as she has ever been, and as lively and play- 

 ful as a pup. The only reasons why she was not shown at 

 any of these shows are simply that I do not like to send her 

 to shows except I accompany her myself, and being too busy 

 at the time to leave the city, and not being in any way 

 bound to attend any shows, except it suits and pleases me, 

 since I keep my dogs for my awn use and pleasure only and 

 not for business, I kept her at home, enjoying her company. 

 I love a good dog too much, and I value Leila's reputation 

 too highly to allow her to "go to pieces," or to allow some- 

 body's spite to destroy her reputation without branding it 

 I as what it actually is.— Mrs. Albert Reutee. 



BLUE NELL. 



OUR illustration this week is a portrait by Tallman of 

 Mr. C. Fred Crawford's English setter bitch Blue Nell. 

 She is imported, being by Count Howard out of Sandal 

 Queen, and her winnings are second Birmingham and first 

 Carlisle, England, and first Boston, 1888. In our Boston 

 show report Mr. Wm. Jarvis, the judge of this class, wrote, 

 "The winner is new, I believe, to the American show 

 bench, but will hold her own among the best." Blue Nell 

 has been bred to Royal Albert. 



JUDGING AT THE RICHMOND SHOW. 



Editor Forest and Stream: 



In a Chicago report of the Richmond dog show we are told 

 that Mr. J, M. Tracy felt a "delicacy" about judging the 

 W. K. C.'s pointers, and that on this account the classes 

 were given to Mr. J. H. Winslow. Although it is several 

 weeks since this statement was made I cannot find on record 

 a single instance of anybody having congratulated Mr. 

 Tracy for feeling a "delicacy" about judging his own dogs. 

 Ever since dog shows were first held in this country the 

 Westminster Kennel Club men have judged their own dogs, 

 both at field trials and at dog shows; and it seems to me 

 that the first among them that has discovered a "delicacy" 

 about judging his own property is deserving of something 

 more substantial than private indorsement and club room 

 X>raise. Therefore, I move that the hearty congratulations 

 and warm thanks of all true lovers of good dogs and fair 

 play in these. United States be most cordially tendered Mr. 

 J. M. Tracy, of Greenwich, Conn., in appreciation of the 

 recent discovery by him of a dormant "delicacy" that has 

 been hidden for years, but unearthed at last. 



As the A. K. C. is an interested party, the National Dog 

 Club must handle the kennel man who has been judging (?) 

 and writing up his employers' dogs in a Chicago weekly 

 comic. 



Mr. Tracy's discovery of a "delicacy" goes to show that 

 the time is at hand when men, and creatures clothed In the 

 garments of men, shall be permitted to judge neither their 

 own dogs nor dogs owned by their employers. How delici- 

 ously pure and sweet will be the atmosphere when the 

 honest exhibitor can show his dogs without feeling that the 

 judge has a dog of his own in the class; and how gloriously 

 bright the prospect when the independent dog owner shall 

 realize that Jim Bagman's employers will not be permitted 

 to exhibit their dogs when Jim Bagman is the judge. 



Tom Coggins, Hartford's patent elector and counter-out of 

 judges, recently assured all readers of a Chicago paper that 

 have cataracts in their eyes, that anything that wears 

 breeches is a gentleman. But give me the man that discov- 

 ers (no matter how late in the day) within himself a "deli- 

 cacy" about judging his own property. The purest gold may 

 be hidden in a bed of rock for more than a half century, but 

 its discovery proves that the rock was valuable, and that all 

 that was needed was a little drilling and blasting to get at 

 the refined article. Charl es H. Mason. 



CHICAGO BENCH SHOW.— Chicago, 111., Nov. 8.— 

 Editor Forest and. Stream: It has come to the notice of the 

 officers of the Mascoutah Kennel Club that doubt exists in 

 the minds of some exhibitors and breeders as to whether the 

 dates April 9 to 12, 1889, inclusive, for their bench show, will 

 be adhered to or the show postponed in favor of some other 

 shows claiming dates soon thereafter. Will you kindly 

 state in your next issue that under no circumstances will 

 there be any postponement, and that the bench show will 

 take place as advertised. The building known as Battery 

 D, with which many of the prominent breeders and exhib- 

 itors are familiar, has been leased for that week, and much 

 preliminary work has been accomplished. Mr. James Mor- 

 timer has ' consented to judge non-sporting classes. All 

 interested can rest assured that if time, labor and liberal 

 outlay will make a good show, they shall have it. — John L. 

 Lincoln, Jr., Secretary. 



SOUTHERN FIELD TRIALS.— Marietta, Ga., Nov. 5.— 

 Editor Forest and Stream: Arrangements have been made 

 by which parties who intend visiting the meeting of the 

 Southern Field Trial Club at Amory, Miss., can ' procure 

 reduced rates of fare. They will buy first-class tickets 

 going to the nearest point at which they will strike the Kan- 

 sas City, Fort Scott and Birmingham road, and procure from 

 the agent a certificate showing that they paid full fare going, 

 present the certificate to the secretary of the club for indorse- 

 ment, and the railroad agent will sell return tickets to start- 

 ing point at one cent per mile. The Kansas City, Fort 

 Scott, Memphis and Birmingham road will sell round trip 

 tickets at one fare. Three dogs will be carried free, when 

 accompanied by the owner. For any other information 

 address the secretary of the club. The entries to the All- 

 Aged Stake are all that the club could ask.— T. M Brumby, 

 Marietta, Ga.
