LONDON DOG SHOW. 



[Special Report.] 



THE London Kennel Club's second bench show opened on 

 Tuesday morning, the 10th, in the same building that 

 •was used last year, on the grounds of the Provincial Fair 

 of Ontario. The directors of the bench show did everything 

 in their power to make it a success, and the untiring energy 

 of Manager Stone, seconded by that of some of the directors, 

 made things run smoothly. In addition to the main build- 

 ing two large tents, 40ft.x80ft. were erected, in which the 

 judging was~done in two rings, and where Professor Hopper 

 gave his exhibition of trained dogs at intervals during the 

 day to an admiring crowd. The iudging began at 2 P. M. 

 on Tuesday, and was all finished on Wednesday at 2 P. M. 

 Mr. Mortimer began with mastiffs, and Mr. Bell with 

 spaniels. The first day the attendance was very slim, the 

 second day it was a little better, but we fear the London 

 Kennel Clnb will have to go down iu their pockets again 

 before all the expenses are covered. All the arrangements 

 and care of the dogs seemed to be perfect, and the judges' 

 rings were well served, with very little confusion and n o 

 delays, which reflects credit on the management. Mr. 

 Mortimer judged mastiffs, St. Bernards, Newfoundlands, 

 great Danes, pointers, setters, foxhounds, collies, fox-ter- 

 riers, bulldogs, bull-terriers and pugs; Mr. George Bell the 

 remaining classes. 



MASTIFFS. 



The challenge class had no entries. In the open class for 

 dogs first went to Mode, a very good dog with a typical head, 

 good ears and eyes and a well-shaped body, He is rattier 

 straight from the hocks down. He has plenty of size. 

 Cleveland, rather a weak specimen, was second. In the 

 bitch class Bessie B. got the blue ribbon. She is very short 

 in face and wanting in expression, and her color and mark- 

 ings are not good. 



BOUGH-COATED ST. BERNARDS. 

 In these classes there were thirteen entries with one 

 absent. The challenge class did not fill. The open dog class 

 had six entries. Bernal, the winner, was described in the 

 puppy class last year. He has developed into a very good 

 dog, but he was not in condition. He has a good head, 

 rather weak at muzzle, chest well let down, good quarters 

 and hocks, straight tail well carried, plenty of bone, rather 

 weak in l oin, coat not in good order, expression might be 

 better, nis color is orange and white. Nero, a white dog 

 with tawny markings, was a good second. He has good 

 head, neck, shoulders and quarters, but is not quite right 

 at hocks; ears badly carried and a little hollow in back, 

 condition good, carriage and expression very typical. 

 Colonel, third prize, lacked condition and is weak in head. 

 Brian, vhc, is a very fine dog, but not in show form. In 

 the open bitch class Maida was placed first over Luna, who 

 was in no condition, or this would have been different. 

 Third went to Duchess, a poor specimen, in fact none of the 

 bitches came up to the dogs. In the puppy class nothing 

 extra was shown, and the awards appeared to be right. No 

 smooth-coated dogs were exhibited. 



NEWFOUNDLANDS. 

 Leo, first, is a good-sized dog, but his coat is rather 

 rough. Victoria, second prize, is" rather washy in appear- 

 ance for a Newfoundland. 



GREAT DANES. 



Two entries. Leo, a very good specimen, was first, with 

 Gretchen, also a good puppy, second. When developed 

 should make a very good one. 



GREYHOUNDS. 



Milo was alone in t he dog class and got first. He is a very 

 taking looking dog, but would not standpullingtopiec.es. 

 The other entry was absent. In the bitch class there were 

 three entiles. Spider, a nice-headed bitch, won over Josey. 

 If the latter had been in condition this decision might have 

 been reversed. 



POINTERS. 



How is it that pointers are so little owned or exhibited jn 

 Canada ? I recollect twenty years ago when the pointer was 

 far more used in Canada than the setter, yet of late years 

 the setter seems to be altogether used by the sportsmen 

 here, consequently the pointer classes were not well filled. 

 The Westminster K. C. being absent, only 5 dogs faced the 

 judges in the three classes. In the open class for dogs the 

 first prize was rightly withheld, and second prize went to 

 Don, a very ordinary dog. Third was gi ven to Hope Pait- 

 zel, a snipy-muzzled weedy-looking dog. In the bitch class 

 Devonshire Flint, a nice, well shown bitch, rescued the 

 pointer from low mediocrity, and second prize was withheld, 

 as the only other entry was very poor indeed. 



ENGLISH SETTERS. 



Twenty-nine entries in English setter classes with one ab- 

 sentee was a good showing, taking everything into consid- 

 eration, with Toledo and Ottawa both holding shows at the 

 same time, and the quality has never been equalled in 

 Canada. Leddersdale was alone iu the challenge class. In 

 the open dog class Sir Tatton at the head of affairs looked 

 well, although all the dogs exhibited by the Item Kennels 

 were shown in off condition, yet their quality pulled them 

 through. It is not necessary to say anything aboutthe win- 

 ners, as they have all been described before; yet I would 

 suggest that owners of really good dogs do both their dogs 

 and themselves great injury in showing them out of condi- 

 tion. Davey & Richards's exhibit in the setter classes 

 were all iu the pink of condition and deserved their places. 

 Locksley, second, has already been described and commented 

 on at other shows. Matana, who took first in the puppy 

 class last year has developed into a good dog rather lacking 

 in size. Dick Bondhu, reserve, showed the effects of his 

 long journey from the northwest, as did his kennel mate 

 Manitoba Gladstone, yet they look like workmen and 

 are built on racing lines. Jester, vhc, if it were not for his 

 rather coarse head and defective stern, would have taken a 

 much higher place, in fact, would have been at the first 

 flight; he looks all over a good level-headed every- day and 

 all-day dog, which we believe he is. Dashing Kent, vhc, 

 was shown in no condition. In the open bitch class Cam- 

 briana outclassed all the others; she was described last year, 

 and is fully up to anything that was then said of her. ' She 

 might be shown iu better condition. Canadian Lillie is 

 quite a taking bitch, and was shown well. Forest Fern is a 

 good all-round bitch, and was properly placed. Bonnie 

 Lass, reserve, like all the Item Kennels' dogs, showed much 

 want of condition, which is accounted for to a certain extent 

 by their late long sea voyage. The puppy classes were well 

 filled with good specimens, and for luck Night almost 

 stands unrivalled with first in his class and five or six 

 specials; but it is hard to tell how a dog may turn out judg- 

 ing them at five mouths old, yet he has no glaring detects. 

 In the bitch class Carlton Florie was away ahead of any of 

 the others for shape and style, which is nearly right in 

 every place. 



IRISH SETTERS. 

 Redstone stood at the head of affairs and is really a very 

 fine dog but might be a little darker in color, and his eye is 

 a bad color for an Irish setter. Jack Malone is very little 

 behind him and is a little better in coat and color. In 

 bitches Belle Jda was to my mind and eyes the best in the 

 Irish classes. In the puppy class Rosemere was alone but 

 deserved his first. 



GORDON SETTERS. 

 Mr. Campbell's exhibit in this class placed it away up, all 

 his dogs were in good condition and the awards were cor- 

 rect. Siuicoe, placed first, has a good square head, nice ears, 



well let down chest, and with a strong back and well car- 

 ried stern is a wonderfully good Gordon setter. Gordo, 

 third, might have changed places with Pelham, as his head is 

 more typical, but he has not such e;ood well set ears as the 

 second prize one which I dare say detracted from his other 

 good qualities. Becky Sharp has been too often commented 

 on to say more than she got the first place rightly. 



ENGLISH FOXHOUNDS. 

 The London Hunt Club carried off all the honors in this 

 class with their entries which were shown in very fair con- 

 dition for working hounds. They are rather undersized 

 but have good bone, nice feet aud legs. They also got the 

 kennel prize for foxhounds. 



AMERICAN FOXHOUNDS. 

 The class contained a varied lot of types, but Ranger, 

 rightly placed first, is really a fine hound and was in splen- 

 did condition. Countess, a rather light built dog, was 

 placed second. Driver, a black and tan with goad head, was 

 placed third. 



COLLIES. 



As the Chestnut Hills Kennels had eight and McEwen 

 and Gibson ten entries, these classes were well filled, aud 

 were about the best exhibit iu the show. Fall is a poor 

 time to show collies, as they are all sheddiug their 

 coats, which detracts a good deal from their appearance. 

 Dublin Scot and Scotilla, in the champion class, were 

 placed first and second. No need to say anything about 

 these grand dogs, who have been so often described. 

 CharJeroi n. was placed first in the open class. He would 

 be hard to beat in any class but for his ears ; which drop 

 like a fox-terrier's. Maxwell, a young sable dog, got 

 second. He is not fully developed. J t- has good head aud 

 ears and a splendid set of feet aud legs under him, but is 

 just a little light iu the middle yet When he gets age I 

 think he will improve very much there. Red Gauntlet, 

 reserve, has about the best coat we have ever seen, and he 

 is proving himself a good sire. In the bitch class that 

 sweet little bitch Roslyn Clara was far ahead of the rest, 

 tier head might be a little larger, but the beautiful carriage 

 of her ears and her kindly collie expression makes her" a 

 remarkable bitch, and we augur for her a brilliant show 

 career. She got first in her class, and was awarded the 

 special for best collie that had never won a prize. This was 

 protested, as it appears that she won the Collie Club's 

 sweepstakes this year. The protest was sustained by the. 

 C. K. C, and the prize went to Mr. Edward Gibson's 

 Maxwell. The reserve in this class, Madge, ought to have 

 been higher, but her coat was against her. The puppy 

 classes were good, and the awards appeared to be correct. 

 SPANIELS. 



These classes were not so well filled as last year, nor was 

 the quality so good throughout. There was only one entry 

 in the challenge class, Juno; three in the open field spaniel 

 class for black. The prize was awarded to Faust, a good- 

 bodied dog with horribly malformed front legs aud feet. It 

 does not seem necessary to have any legs under spaniels 

 now, so we won't comment on them. When will this be 

 altered? All that is required is length of body, smooth 

 coat, plenty of ear and crooked legs to win. The judge, I 

 suppose, is right, as he follows iu the footsteps of all the 

 present spaniel judges, Sweep, second, is a fairly good dog. 

 Glencho, a black and tan, is rather a good dog barring his 

 coat, which is rough, got second in any other color than 

 black, the first prize being withheld. Iu Irish water spaniels 

 there was only one entry, which was considered good enough 

 for third prize. No Clumbers were entered. The cocker 

 classes were fairly well filled. Elack Duke, not looking in 

 very good condition, was first in dog class; he has a fair 

 body and good coat; he also won the special for best cocker 

 of any class. Kespie, second, is a very taking dog. but as 

 he is only 9 months old it is hard to say how lie may develop. 

 Iu bitches Marguerita was the best, but too young to say 

 much about. Perhaps, second, is younger still, with a good 

 head and ears. In the any other class Silver King was the 

 only one noticed. He has good length of body, but is rather 

 light in bone; his feathering is very scanty. In the puppy 

 class Faust won, with Pekoe second. We thiuk this should 

 have been reversed. Marguerita might even have gone ahead 

 of the first 



BEAGLES. 



The beagle class was very good. Rattler, a very typical 

 dog, was placed first, with Cleopatra a very good second and 

 Fairmaid, a little dog with a good deal of quality, third. 

 FOX-TERRIERS. 



Village Belle, who carries her years and honors well, was 

 alone in the challenge class. Blemton Trump, a nice-bodied 

 dog with good feet ajjd legs, but a little off iu head, was 

 first. Oxford Duke, a cobby made dog, with good head and 

 jaws, and ears well carried, with plenty of bone and fair 

 coat, was placed second. Belvoir Bacchanal, placed third, 

 has the best coat of any of the exhibits, but is scarcely up to 

 show form, although he has no glaring defects: he should 

 be a good one to breed from, as he has plenty of bone and 

 looks a workman. Virgil, iu the bitches, shows a good deal 

 of character, but her coat is rather soft. The puppies were 

 better than usual, with Oxford Duke placed first in dogs. 

 Oxford Veda first in bitches, Belvoir Risk second. Wire- 

 haired terriers had three entries, all above the average. 

 Billet, first, has been shown before. Patch is only a puppy 

 yet. His head might be a little flatter in scull and he is out 

 of condition, as he is just imported, He took first in Liver- 

 pool in the puppy class. Capsicum was alone iu the bitch 

 class 



BULL-TERRIERS. 



Bull-terriers were represented by three white dogs in good 

 condition. The awards were correct. 



BLACK AXD TAX TERRIERS. 



This was the best class ever exhibited in Canada. There 

 was very little difference between the prize winners, and 

 the judge had to go down to very fine points to decide be- 

 tween them , but he did so and the awards were well received. 



Dandie Dinmouts were not represented. 



In Bedlington terriers Zulu II. is a good all-round bitch 

 aud deserved the first place. Gimlet, second, is a bit too 

 light in body and bad in coat, otherwise he is a very good 

 dog with lots of character. 



Irish terriers had an entry in dog aud bitch class. Peggy 

 is a very good stamp of bitch, but a trifle soft in coat, her 

 head is very good. She might have more bone for her size. 



Dachshunde were a nice level lot of good-coated dogs and 

 the awards were well placed. 



Yorkshire terriers had four entries with two absent. 

 Dolly is a rare good one with a beautiful coat. 



Jn the pug class there was not a great deal of merit al- 

 though much better than usual in a Canadian show, which 

 is an indication that more interest is being taken iu them. 

 Toy terriers had only one entry. A nice littlelScotch terrier 

 shown got second. 



Toy spaniels were a poor lot and the prizes were rightly 

 withheld. 



In the miscellaneous class a smooth-coated collie was first, 

 a harrier second and the rest were nondescripts. Following 

 is a list of the
