with any character. Peggy, shown in this class, is not had 

 in head, hut she is decidedly coarse and her coat is all 

 wrong. 



The Meadowthorpe Kennels' goodDandie Dinmont Riever 

 had the class to himself. 



Black and tans hrought out a new one in Kaiser, shown 

 by Mr, J»\ F. Dole, of bull-terrier celebrity. He scored a 

 very easy win, being better in color than his competitors, 

 and decidedly superior in head. Rochelle Lass, second 

 prize, is going wrong in head and color, a nd Desdemona, 

 third prize, continues to get wider iu front and thicker iu 

 skull. Kaiser should breed well with this bitch as he has a 

 clean, narrow front, and excels in other points where she iff 

 deficient. 



Toys as usual were a weak class and first prize was with- 

 held." Weak faces and apple-heads were very conspicuous. 



TOT SPANIELS— (MR. MASON). 



The unnamed winner in this class is too long in foreface, 

 but in other points will do to show again. Topsy, second 

 prize, was beaten many points in head aud color. Fannie, 

 unnoticed, is closely related to some cocker. 



FUGS — (MR. MASON). 



Midget, first prize, was a very easy winner, and if her 

 head were as good as her body it would take a red-hot 

 one to beat her. All the other noticed ones are defective 

 in head. 



MISCELLANEOUS — (MR. MASON). 



The Chestnut Hill Kennels' smooth-coated collie, Lady- 

 bird, was decidedly the best exhibit in these classes. The 

 retriever that won second, is bad iu.steru and moderate in 

 head. Snowflake, a white English retriever, is marred by 

 a marked ear. 



Following is a list of the

ELM1RA DOG SHOW. 



[Special Report."] 



ELMIRA, Sept. 20.— Editor Forest and Stream: The dog 

 show held here the past week has been quite an attract- 

 ive feature of the fair. This is the first show of the Pet 

 Stock Association and the managers have labored under 

 many disadvantages as none of them were posted as to 

 what it was necessary to do to iusure success. As a natural 

 consequence things were somewhat mixed. Uncle Dick 

 worked like a beaver to straighten matters and did so to a 

 certalu extent, but one man cannot do all the work even for 

 a small show. The experience gained this year will un- 

 doubtedly be utilized in giving us a much better show next 

 year. Mr. John Davidson judged pointers and setters and 

 Mr. EL W. Lacy the remaining classes. The judging was 

 not finished until late on Wednesday as Mr. Davidson did 

 not arrive until the afternoon of that day. 1 was unable to 

 procure a catalogue until yesterday. There were 138 entries 

 with 11 absentees. Many of the breeds had but one or two 

 representatives, but although the classes were small the 

 cptality was very good in most of them. Following is a list 

 of the

AMERICAN KENNEL CLUB MEETING. 



THE regular quarterly meeting of the American Kennel 

 Club was held at M Broadway, New York, Sept. 19. 

 Following is a list of the members present: Associate mem- 

 bers; Dr. J. F. Perry and Mr. II. W. Huntington. Cincin- 

 nati Sportsman's Club, Mr. J. T. Richards; Collie Club, 

 Mr. T. H. Terry; Long Island Live Stock Fair Association' 

 Mr. T. Prime; Michigan Kennel Club, Major J. M. Taylor- 

 New England Kennel Club, Mr. F. B. Fay; American Eng- 

 lish Beagle Club, Mr. H. F. Schellhuss; New Jersey Kennel 

 Club, Mr. A, C. Wilmerding; Westminster Kennel Club, 

 Mr. F. It. Hitchcock: American Spaniel Club, Mr. James 

 Watson; St. Bernard Club, Mr. S. B. Macfarlane; Virginia 

 Field Sports Association, Hon. John S. Wise; Maseoutah 

 Kennel Club, Mr. James Mortimer; St. Paul and Minnesota 

 Kennel Club, Mr. A. D. Lewis; Southern Field Trial Club, 

 Mr. J. L. Anthony. 



The meeting was called to order at 1:30, Mr. Thomas H. 

 Terry, the vice-president, in the chair Minutes of the pre- 

 vious meeting were read aud approved. Applications for 

 membership were read from the American Spaniel Club and 

 the American Pet D -g Club. The report of the secretary 

 was accepted and ordered laid on the table. The president, 

 Mr. Belmont, now took the chair. The treasurer's report 

 was read and adopted. The report showed a cash balance, 

 on hand of 1829 07, and a further balance due on the books of 

 $534. The receipts from all sources for the year are. §6,002.81 ; 

 expenditures $5,173.74. The report of the Advisory Com- 

 mittee was adopted aud approved, as was the report of the 

 Stud Book Committee. 



Members were elected as follows: American Spaniel Club, 

 Elmira Poultry and Pet Stock Association, Southern Cali- 

 fornia Kennel Club, and Montana Kennel Club. It was 

 voted not to recognize the wins at the recent show of the 

 Southern California Club held at Los Angeles, Cal., owing 

 to non-compliance with the rules. The application of the. 

 Brooklyn Kennel Club was refused. The application of the 

 A merican Pet Dog Club was referred to the Advisory Com- 

 mittee. It appeared to be the sense of the meeting that the 

 Pet Dog Club should not include in its list breeds that are 

 already taken care of by specialist clubs. The application 

 of the California Kennel Club was laid over until the ad- 

 visability of admitting two members from the same city 

 could be determined. 



The secretary read complaint that some of the prizes at 

 the Albany show had not been paid. The matter was re- 

 ferred to the Advisory Committee. Messrs. Poyneer and 

 Smith, of Malvern, la., requested the club to adopt the stan- 

 dard reported by the committee for the Chesapeake Bay dog. 

 A long discussion followed as to the propriety of the club 

 taking such action, and it appeared to be the sense of the 

 meetiugthat this was a matter that should be attended to 

 by the breeders and owners of the different breeds through 

 the specialty clubs,and it was voted that the club recommend 

 that the standard in question be used by bench shows until 

 such time as a special club for that breed be formed. 



Mr, R. Leslie gave notice of a proposed amendment to 

 Rule IX., making it necessary that a veterinary should be 

 approved by a committee of three before he can serve at a 

 show. Dr. Perry gave notice of a proposed amendment to 

 Rule XXVIII., making it the duty of dog show secretaries 

 to forward to the secretary of the A. K. C. a report by the 

 judges at each show. Both of the above were laid over 

 under the rules. The Richmond County Poultry and Pet 

 Stock Association gave notice that, the name had been 

 changed to the Georgia Pet Stock and Bench Show Associr 

 ation, and requested that the A. K. C. recognize the change, 

 and it was so voted. 



A letter was received from Mr. Amory B. Starr, president 

 of the Texas Field Trial Club, requesting that wins at field 

 trials be allowed to count as well as bench show wins as a 

 qualification for registry in the Stud Book. Referred to 

 the Stud Book Committee. Mr. A. Laidlaw preferred 

 charges against Mr. H. P. Renuie, of Oakland, Cal., stating 

 that he had not paid for the spaniels Giffee and Woodstock 

 Belle, and requesting that he and the dogs be disqitalified. 

 Referred to the, Advisory Committee. Dr. H. T. Foote re- 

 quested that the wins of his black and tan terriers Meers- 

 brook Maiden and Meersbrook Girl be recognized. After 

 some discussion it was voted that the Stud Book Commit- 

 tee be instructed to place the record iu the next volume of 

 the Stud Book. 



A letter from Mr. Elliot Smith was read, in which he sug- 

 gested that as the rules of the different bench shows were 

 not uniform, they should be cbanged. Upon motion Messrs. 

 Hitchcock, Terry and Lewis were appointed a committee to 

 codify the rules as suggested. A letter was read from Mr. 

 C. J. Peshall, stating that the minutes of the July meeting 

 were incorrect iu saying that he moved a vote of thanks to 

 the president for his offer to guarantee the Gazette against 

 Joss, and that the motion was made by Mr. Terry. Letter 

 placed on file and claim disallowed. Mr. Huntington sug- 

 gested that the delegates of the Associate Members be al- 

 lowed their expenses in attending meetings of the club. 

 Referred to the Advisory Committee. The protest against 

 the Rochester Kennel Club was referred to the Advisory 

 Committee. Adjourned.

 coated St. Bernard dog Liverpool Duke. He stands full 

 32in. at shoulder, has a rich orange color, perfect white 

 markings, and dark face shadings, and combines the blood 

 of champions Beauchief and Nero III. He will stay at
