OLYMPIA DOG SHOW. 



'HE thirty-third show of the English Kennel Club was 

 _ held at Olynipia, South Konsimrton, July!) to 12. There 

 were 1,473 entries. The London Field says: "'The collection 

 of dogs was pretty much the same as during the last two or 

 three years; if not better in quality certainly no worse. 



* * Mastiffs were present in tfreat force, the open flog 

 glass being especially good. Puppies were also excellent. 

 :: * The collection of St. Bernards were by no means a 

 representative oue, * The open classes for Great 

 Danes were disappointing. * * Deer-hounds were an- 

 other poor display. ;: ' A lot of excellent greyhounds 

 were shown. * *' Pointers were generally understood 

 to be quite a disappointment. * * Wooltou Game sec- 

 ond again in large-sized hitches, and this is no doubt the 

 last we shall see of her in this country, either at field trials 

 or elsewhere, for acting for Mr. Hitchcock, of New York, 

 she was claimed by Spratts Patent at her catalogue price of 

 £150, and cannot' be considered dear at the money, * * 

 The bitches under 501bs. formed the best lot of pointers in 

 show. * s The English setters were better in quality 

 and numbers than the pointers. * * The bitch class was 

 one of the best ever taken into the ring. * * There 

 were no great particular stars among the black and tan set- 

 ters. * * Irish setters in the open dog class were fairly 

 strong. * ;: Retrievers were no more than fair. * 

 The congregation of beagles was an unusually strong one, 

 Mr. Nutt sending seven and a half couples of little beauties, 

 of which four couple were hard-haired, miniature otter 

 hounds almost, and oue of the features of the exhibition, 

 for they were shown together off the benches in a kennel 

 of their own. The lot are of uniform size, about 

 [3 inches, and are well grown, hound-marked, with 

 excellent legs and feet. So good were the rough ones that 

 the judge gave them a special first prize that went to Crafty, 

 a little houud with a pin wire coat and the bone and sub- 

 stance of a miniature cart horse. * * The. spaniel classi- 

 fication was bad, and entries did not come up to expectation. 



* * There was a little interest centered in the collies, be- 

 cause it was said Dublin Scot had improved so much since 

 his sojourn in America that he was likely to beat all the 

 champions in this country, so his spirited owner sent him 

 over. However, we failed to find any improvement in him; 

 he was well shown, but his expression, never good, is a little 

 worse than ever, and though Caraetacus was looking less lit 

 than we ever saw him, he beat the Stars aud Stripes' favorite 

 very easily iudeed. * * There was a great display of old 

 English sheepdogs, including many of different types. * * 

 In "fox- terriers Vesuvieune was beaten in the; challenge 

 class by her kennel companion Yenio. At first glance he is 

 not a taking dog, but will stand pulling to pieces; and about 

 the only faults to be found with him are his not very nice 

 ears and some little amount of fullness in cheek; his coat is 

 perfect, he is built on workiug lines, his jaw is powerful, 

 and limbs first-class. Of course the ears and faulty cheeks 

 detract from his expression, so we fancy the bitch should 

 have beaten him. ■ There was an excellent entry of 

 Irish terriers. The other terrier classes were not above the 

 average. * * In pugs Bessie (Dr. M. H. Oyer's), the third 

 prize bitch, appears to have been .successful at American 

 shows: she possesses as much or more character as any 

 benched around her here, and her eyes are very good indeed, 

 so are her skull and size, she falls away too much in front 

 of her eyes, wore her muzzle squarer she would be equal to 

 our best. * * The ladies had, as usual, an excellent dis- 

 play of toy terriers, toy spaniels and fancy dogs. * * The 

 Blenheim spaniels were about. the best lot of pet dogs in the 

 hall, being both numerous aud good in quality." 



LONDON DOG SHOW. 



THE prize list of the Loudon Kennel Club dog show, to 

 be held during the Provincial Fair at London, Ont., 

 Sept. 10 to 13, will be out in a few days. 



There are r-b.allc.nge classes for mastiffs, St. Bernards, 

 pointers, English, Irish and Gordon setters, collies and 

 spaniels and separate classes for Euglish and American 

 foxhounds. 



The prizes are #10, $0 and diploma iu the majority of 

 classes, and and diploma in the remainder. ' Kennel 



prizes in cash for four or more in the following breeds: St. 

 Bernards, foxhounds, collies, spaniels, fox-terriers, English, 

 Irish and Gordon setters, besides a large number of specials. 



The show will be under the management of Mr. C. A. 

 Stone, who managed the last show so successfully; he nas 

 also been appointed secretary. Premium lists mailed to 

 any address by applying to him, 421 Richmond street, Lon- 

 don, Ont. The judges will be announced shortly. 



DOG TALK. 



THE following tale comes to us through the Stuck-Keeiw: 

 "The other day the people who attended the weekly 

 market in a certain French town were surprised to see a 

 peasant woman who was offering for sale a horse, which 

 was tariffed at 4s. The same woman was selling a dog for 

 which she demanded £20. They thought she must be mad, 

 and they told her so. "Be that as it may,' she said, 'the man 

 who wants the horse at 4s. must first take the dog at £20.' 

 A purchaser eventually secured the two, and afterward 

 would have the explanation. It transpired that the de- 

 ceased husband of the artful peasant woman had chargod 

 her in his will to sell his dog and his horse. The price of 

 the dog was to be hers, and that of the horse she was to pay 

 over to his family. This reads like an Ollendorffian ex- 

 cerpt, but it is not. It took place at Coutances, in the north 

 of France, last week." 



As will be seen iu the notes on the Olynipia dog show, 

 Mr. F. R. H itchcock has purchased the pointer bitch Wool- 

 tou Game. He has been very fortunate in securing so good 

 a bitch. She was owned by the well-known pointer breeder 

 Mr. George Pilkington, and has a capital record both iu the 

 field and on the bench. She is two and a half years old and 

 will undoubtedly prove to be one of the most valuable of 

 her breed ever imported to this country. 



We clip the following from the Scottish Fancier: "The 

 Saturday Review says Scotland is free from rabies. This is 

 true, but we have a few gangrel bodies that gang periodi- 

 cally daft. When we see the symptoms beginning we send 

 them south to London, aud they are at once taken on the 

 staff of a dog paper— hence the stun" we read about hydro- 

 phobia at this season." 



By order of Council all dogs in London, Eng., and in the 

 Metropolitan Police District, which extends for some fifteen 

 miles around London, are to be muzzled when in public 

 places from Aug. 1 until Jan 1, 1890, for the purpose of ex- 

 terminating rabies. This order does not apply to dogs 

 while being used for sporting purposes. 



The London Field, speaking of setters, says: "Although 

 t wo or three of our best animals have recently been sent to 

 America, others remain which are quite good enough to 

 take the place of the expatriated ones." This is, at least, 

 encouraging to Americans who are seeking world beaters, 

 whatever t he English judges may think of it. 



Danbury will hold its anuual dag show Oct. 7 to 12. As 

 was stated in our report of the show last year, the premiums 



will be greatly increased this year, aud it is expected that 

 many valuable specials will be offered, the show will be held 

 under A. K. C. rules. 



We hear that Mr. S. W. Kkinner, Jr., of Auburudale, O., 

 has purchased from Mr. M. R. Hood Wright, Newton Hall, 

 Eng., the deerhound bitch Brora, winner of first in the 

 challenge class at the recent Olympia show, 



It has been decided to offer $1,200 in premiums at the To- 

 ronto dog show. This show is held the week following Lon- 

 don aurl Ottawa, and will undoubtedly be well supported. 



Fourteen Euglish foxhounds arrived on the Denmark last 

 Monday, consigned to the Rockaway Hunt Club, Cedar 

 hurst, L. I. 



IMPORTING DOGS.— New York, July IQ-.—EMtor For- 

 est wild Stream: If Mr. W. Wade had consulted some 

 practical custom house, broker before writing the letter 

 which appears over his signature iu your issue of the 11th 

 inst., he would have saved himself a considerable amount 

 of writing material, and his mind aud conscience would 

 have been relieved from the strain which they at present 

 appear to labor under. There is no "confusion" whatever 

 in reeard to the importing of dogs for breeding purposes, 

 Mr. Wade's assertion to the. contrary notwithstanding. 

 The law of 1883 reads as follows: "Animals specially im- 

 ported for breeding purposes shall be admitted free upon 

 proof thereof satisfactory to the Secretary of the Treasury,and 

 under such regulations as he may prescribe. " And in a circu- 

 lar letter dated May 17, 1888, the Secretary of the Treasury has 

 prescribed regulations for carrying out the beforementioned 

 law, which are so simple thtt any person of the slightest in- 

 telligence can understand them. The law does not require 

 that the animals shall be imported solely for breeding pur- 

 poses, but it does require that they shall be imported 

 specially for breeding purposes, or in other words, the law 

 requires that the leading purpose shall be that of breeding. 

 Dogs or other animals, valuable mainly for their breeding 

 qualities, are not excluded from free entry merely because 

 they are intended for sale. Mr. Wade can importVlogs and 

 dispose of them immediately after landing, either by sale 

 or gift, and he will violate no law at present on the statute 

 books of Uncle Sam. He must simply furnish satisfactory 

 proof to the custom authorities that his dogs are of superior 

 breed and calculated to improve the stock of the country.—

RED FOX PACK.— Hickory Valley, Tenn., July 16 — 

 Editor Forest and Stream: Having selected quite a good 

 pack of foxhounds for the purpose of breeding and running 

 in the trials for foxhounds, I claim the name of J. M, Avent 

 Red Fox Pack for my pack. The principal part of this pack 

 are from dogs that I have been running after red foxes for 

 the last fifteen years, and have great confidence in their 

 ability as red fox dogs. I am very anxious to see fox hunt- 

 ing clubs organized in many different States, so that I will 

 have a good opportunity to thoroughly test dogs of my 

 breeding under good competent judges after red foxes, 

 against the best from the many noted packs in America. 

 The following is a full list of my pack: Fox III. and Jennie, 

 dog and bitch, 7 years (Fox n.— Nor ah); Mink and Music, 

 dog and bitch, 8 years (Red Mink— Fan); Fox's Bock and 

 Nellie, dog and bitch, 2 years (Fox III.— Jennie); Flora, bitch, 

 1 year (Fox III.— Walker's bitch); Cripple, Fannie and Fairy, 



Jennie), all black and tan. Flash, black, white and tan 

 bitch, 3 years (Bran— Fly); one bitch, black, white and tan 

 5 months (Walker's dog and bitch); Mallis, red bitch, 3 years 

 from Mr. Spear's pack, and Cleveland, red dog, 4 years (Kin- 

 nie's Mink— Kinnie's bitch).— J. M. A VENT.

 like you to tell me just what to do as he is very valuable to me. 

 Ans. Give 3 compound cathartic pills in one dose. They can be 

 concealed in a morsel of meat. Give 5 grains of quinine in pill 

 form every morning and 4 drops of Fowler's solution every even-

OUR TEAM ABROAD. 



\_From Our S%>ecial Correspondent.] 



WIMBLEDON CAMP, July 8.— The series of matches for which 

 the Massachusetts rifle team crossed the Atlantic, to con- 

 test with the English Volunteers, ended with the victory over the 

 South London Rifle Club at Nunbead range on Friday, July 5, a 

 series of successes quite unparalleled, and with a majority of point s 

 in eacn case that calls for an explanation. An unbiased study of 

 the series of contests, considering that the accuracy of the rifles 

 are equal, leads to the conclusion that the secret of the success of 

 the Mnssachusetts team consists in the perfection of their coach- 

 ing system; this, with the advantage of the quickly adjustable 

 sight on the Springfield, helped the Americans to pile up totals 

 far beyond the capacity of the English marksmen with their 

 Martinis; shooting over a bar for a rear sight, with vertical lines 

 of white paint put on with a brush or pencil for wind allowances. 

 The Massachusetts men could so quickly return from two points 

 of windase to a shot on the true zero for wind allowance, or grad- 

 uations of one-quarter or half of a point; it was impossible for the 

 Englishmen to stop aud paint new lines on their sliding bar be- 

 tween shots, and their mistaken allowances for wind in the vary- 

 ing currents that were always present in all of the matches 

 proved their downfall, this is the kernel in a nutshell, from a 

 rifleman's point of view 

 First and only practice of the team at Nunhead Range, July 1;

It will be seen from the above by a close scrutiny of the scores, 

 the varying conditions of each individual not forty -eight hours 

 off the deck of an ocean steamer, some having a fine show at the 

 first range only to get demoralized at the longer distances. 



Ten guineas was donated by a prominent member of the South 

 London Rifle Club for a prize to be competed for by members of 

 the Massachusetts team. It was decided to divide the money into 

 five prizes: first $15, second $12.50, third $10, fourth $7.50, fifth $5, 

 and compete for it at the 200yds. range. Thus it would not inter- 

 fere with the coaching instructions of the team at the longer 

 ranges. The winners of the prizes were respectively: Maj. Hin- 

 man first, score 31; Sergt. Bull second, score 30; Private Farrow 

 third, score 30; Lieut. Bumstead fourth, score 80; Lieut. Hussey 

 fifth, score 30. Immediately the ahove scores were finished a 

 nice lunch was enjoyed by both teams. This seemed to have a 

 very beneficial effect on the Americans, who proceeded at once to 

 do the handsome for the team of the Honorable Artillery Com- 

 pany in real Massachusetts style.
