FOREST AND STREAM. 



[Feb, SO, 1890. 



strong in muzzle. Rachel, New Forest Ethel and Diana 

 was the order, correctly, in challenge hitches. The Messrs 

 Rutherfurd led off in open dogs with the beautiful Raffle. 

 He only wants a little more size to be of the highest order. 

 Hlemton Volunteer, second, is fair in head, good terrier ex- 

 pression somewhat spoilt by his markings, coat bad. "Warren 

 Bluffer third, weak in muzzle, lucks substance. Blefntoii 

 Trump has gone plain and fails to realize his promise of 

 last spring. He was placed too high in this class. Reckoner 

 should really be retired. lie has done duty enough ou the 

 bench and has no chance at his age to get to the top of a good 

 class. Hillside Dandy is another of last year's good ones 

 gone wrong. He is now very cloddy. Warren Bombast 

 has good bone and substance, but is high on the legs, not 

 clean in throat and ears set wide. 



Blemton Consequent :e and Blemton Brilliant were first 

 ana second m hitches; The former has seen her best day, 

 having gone nil' a good deal since she was out last. She 

 needs size and is failing iu front. Brilliant is of nice size, 

 but plain in head and expression. We did not fancy her for 

 the place. Richmond Dazzle, third, is the one we spotted 

 for first place. She is a beautifully shaped bitch of the 

 right size, has plenty of substance and a rare made one be- 

 hind. The same owner's Rosa Canina is small and her face 

 is not right. Blemton Enid has a good coat and taking ex- 

 pression, but she is small in head. Princess has terrier ex- 

 pression, nice head, ears good, l>ad in front but good behind 

 Hillside Model and Hillside Freda are not flyers. Warren 

 Jasmine is another TMuna in head and expression, lacks 

 size, but has plenty of bone and substance, Warren Tease 

 small head and faulty ears. Suffolk Risk was lucky enougli 

 to set his poor ear right when he went into the ring and he 

 kept it right, consequent ly he won. He is plainish in face, 

 the markings being One-sided, good in bone and front , wants 

 letting down, very nice, iu out line. Blemton Racket, second, 

 is a nice topped dog with good bone, but is spoilt by a very 

 plain fate. Warren Laird, third, is a rare little terrier, good 

 head and front, plenty of bone, nice face, tars and expres- 

 sion. Warren Sabre is a little domed in skull, carried his 

 ears badly and was shown too fat; good bone and substance 

 In the bitch class Bleintou Enid, already noticed, was first. 

 Blemton Toil, second, carries her ears badly, feet open, was 

 shown too heavy, has good bone. Blemton Edna, head too 

 small, off iu ears, good bone, excellent legs and feet, nice 

 topped bitch. Suffolk Rarity, good body, weak in face, not 

 enough of her aud not likely to be. 



WIRE-HAIRED FOX-TKltRIERS — (MJ.I. U. F, MAVJIEW). 



Suffolk Toby was placed first of the four dogs. A good 

 stamp of terrier with grand expression, nice size, plenty of 

 bone, falls away behind. Suffolk Settler lacks character 

 and coat. Billet, short head and legs, soft coat. Cots wold 

 Jocko was sent out for being undershot. Capsicum, first in 

 bitches, is weak-faced and light in Joone. Suffolk Vixen is 

 good in shape and legs, but short in head and soft in coat. 

 Latchet is too small. First was withheld iu puppies and 

 second given to Locker who is not and never can be a good 

 one. 



IRISH TEUJJIKKS — (Mi;. U. I'. MAYHEW). 



The two Irish terrier classes were well handled. With one 

 exception the prize list may be left to speak for itself, there 

 being so many of last year's winners in it. This exception is 

 Breda Florence, the latest importation from Mr. Graham's 

 kennels. Without hesitation we say this is the best of the 

 breed ever shown here. Just the size, grand expression 

 color good, coat of excellent texture and good legs and feet. 

 She is in whelp, and Mr. Comstock should get some good 

 ones from her. • 



WELSH TERKIEKS— (MR. MAYHEW). 

 Which and T'Other occupied their usual positions; both 

 were looking well. Rough, the only other entry, is a de- 

 scendant of theirs, but is not quite good enough and the 

 third prize was withheld. 



SCOTCH TERRIERS — (M R. IIAYIIEW). 



There were four entries in this class with oue absentee 

 First went to Meadowthorpe Donald, of good type and with 

 a good head, except that the skull is a trifle thick and one 

 ear is carried badiy. He has good length of body and a good 

 coat; would do better if shown natural. Our old friend 

 Rosie, looking well except that she shows age, was placed 

 second. Third went to Glencoe, Jr., a nice dog, spoiled for 

 the show bench by a tail that had been docked. 



DANDIE PINMONT TERRIERS— (MR. MAYHEW). 



Border Wang in the dog class was placed over Meadow- 

 thorpe Reiver. The latter is better in head and fully the 

 equal of Wang in other respects. In the bitch class Border 

 Wonder had an easy win, beating the. well-known Pansy at. 

 nearly every point except in mouth. There were live Bed- 

 lingfcons shown, Sir George being the only absentee. They 

 were a fair looking lot iu the ring and we thought the 

 awards properly placed. 



SKYE TERRIER3— (MR. MAYHEW). 



The judge made a mistake iu the dog class in placing the 

 two big dogs Sir Stafford and Sir Roger over the typical 

 and good Lovefc and Drollie. The latter two should have 

 been first aud second, both are good specimens. Sir Stafford 

 is of good type, but much too large, while Sir Roger is not 

 only too large, but all wrong iu head and ears. The bitches 

 were properly placed. There were no dogs and but one 

 bitch, a tali -specimen, iu the drop-eared division. 



In the Clydesdales Loris was placed over Lady. The lat- 

 ter is better in ea?s and shows i he most quality and terrier 

 character. 



BLACK AN!) TAN TKRill KKH — ( M R. MAYHEW). 



The black and tan terriers were the best collection that 

 has yet beeu seen. In the challenge class, RocheUe Bass was 

 placed over Buffalo General. The latter is growing coarse 



equal first. Dude did not show at all well , as the ring was class Rye Lilly was reserve. In the Gordon set ter challenge bitch 

 very dirty, and he appeared to be afraid to move, while Kash flass Beaumont Kennels' 

 showed up well. Bessie was alone in the bitch class and 

 added anot her win to her long list. In the open dog class 

 last year's winner, Bob Ivy, had to make room for a bet ter 



do 



Tina, a very nice littl 

 is not quite large enough ; 

 aside from these faults he, i 

 much trouble iu securing u , 

 breed. Saxon aud Climax" had a el 

 t he former winning. The remainder 

 specimens and all received mention 

 good, and every one received a card 

 first, but it was a clo: 

 we imagine that ha< 



with few faults. His sit all 

 his muzzle is pinched, but 

 ry nearly perfect and hail not 

 ial for the best of his 

 i6 race for third place, 

 if the class were all fair 

 Tie- bitches were also 

 . Bo Peep II. was placed 

 thing between her and Myrtle, and 

 tlie latter shown well the decision 



would have been reversed. The puppies were just a fail 

 lot. Cashier, the winner, is a very well made dog, with 

 many good points, aud is especially good in wrinkle and 

 tail, but he is much too large and coarse, aud is somewhat 

 smutty in color. 



TOY SPANIELS— (Mi;. MAY1IKW). 



In the challenge class for toys, Roscius and King's Victor 

 were placed in the order uamed, both looking very well. 

 Romeo, placed first in the class for Kiug Charles, was the 

 best ol a poor lot. Rex was absent in the Blenheim class, 

 and Grenoble, the only other entry, was given first, i le was 

 very lucky in having a lenient judge, as second would have 

 been an ample testimonial to his merit. Sweet Violet, look- 

 ing very sweet, was at the head of the Prince Charles and 

 Ruby division, wit h Bell, a moderate one, second. Prince 

 placed third, we did not. see. Three very fair Japanese Span- 

 iels were shown. The winner is quite good except in face. 

 In Italian greyhounds the well known Cupid had a very 

 easy win. In the class for Mexican hairless, the judge, who 

 is as well up on the breed as any one, selected Pippo for first 

 place. He is built on fairly good terrier lines, and we are 

 glao to learn that this is the orthodox formation.

The Yorkshires were well represented, and the exhibit 

 was much the best that has yet been seen in this oountrv 

 Brad&rd Harry. Ionising well, was alone in the challenge 

 class. In the open dog cflaJ?s, Mr. Hymenals'.-: receni im-

 dog with good coat, and color, eveept that he is somewhat 

 deficient in tan on head. Second v. out to Tooff's Royal that 

 was third at Boston last year. Prince A 1, placed ! hird is a 

 nice little dog off iu color. Little Swell II, reserve is also 

 a well made one a trifle dark in color, but with a good coat 

 We thought the last two rather uncomfortably pressed by 

 the nicely formed Lancashire Ben with his beautiful coat 

 The bitches were just a fair lot and not up to the dogs in 

 coat or color. In the toy terrier class first and second went 

 to two rather moderate specimens of the black and tan.

rHK regular annual meeting of the American Kennel

Mr. Anthony was appointed chairman in the abseuce of 

 the president and vice-president. 



'I'm: CHAIRMAN— The question is now whether, with the 

 limited number of delegates present, we shall proceed with 

 the meeting or adjourn. As I understand, the American 

 Kennel Club is composed of forty-five clubs, located in all 

 parts of the United States, and. of course, it is impossible 

 to have a majority Of those forty-five clubs present at an 

 annual meeting. It has been ruled by the chairman of a 

 former meeting, under the same circumstances, that a 

 majority of those present constituted a quorum. If there is 

 no objection, in order to bring the question before the meet- 

 ing, I will rule that there is a sufficient number of delegates 

 present to proceed with the business for which this nieeting 

 was called. The chair will entertain any appeal (Vona that 

 ruling if it is the desire of anyjof the members to so appeal. 



Mi;. Pi; i. mi;— I move, that the former ruling of the chair be 

 accepted for this meeting. 



Tut; Chairman— That was my intention. I believe I stated 

 in the first part of my remarks that the chair would sustain 

 that ruling, and would make it the ruling for the meeting 

 tc-day, unless there is objection. I don't'think it is neces- 

 sary to offer a resolution. If the question does not Coma up 

 the chair will not even make a ruling. The secretary will 

 proceed with the business before the house. 



The minutes of the last aunual meeting were read and ap- 

 proved: on motion of Mr. Watson the reading of the treas- 

 urer's report was dispensed with, owing to its publication 

 m the Gazette. The report of the Stud Book committee 

 was adopted as follows: 



To the American Kennel Club— Gentlbmen: Your committee 

 begs to iciiori thai during I lie year LS-SO it acted upon the most im- 

 pnrianUnniters referred to B, by the American Kennel Club, and 

 reported its action at the regular meetings of the executive com- 

 mittee ot said c ub, and by them approve* Several unimportant 

 mailers are still in abeyance, and your committee in such easfs 

 reports progress. The Stud Book received during tin? vear tflfi 

 voluntary, registrations made up from the following sources- 

 Cash entries, less thirty-live returned as not eligible, 3,912: associ- 

 ate entries, 2!h; A. K. Ii. entries (under the rule), 6; total 4 21'< 



The rule allowing A. K. R. entries to be accepted (without 

 charge) upon appUca lion of owners, was rescinded bv I be advisory 

 committee April la 1SS!), and said action was ratified bvthe 

 American Kennel Club, May 23. 1889. The copy for Vol. VI. of 

 the Stud Bjok was delivered to the printers Feb. 1, and the book 

 will tie ready for sale and distribution the first part of March 

 next. The delay in publishing Vol. VI. was caused by the great 

 number ot entries received during the month of December 

 amounting to l,k>3, the examination and compilation of which 

 together with the cither business of the office, consumed the entire 

 month of January, notwithstanding the employment Of additional 

 clerical lorce. llie compos.-, turn, proof reading, examination bv 

 the committees ot the specialty clubs, and finally the binding of 

 i he volumes, will consume from four to six weeks, and as eTirlv 

 m March as possible ihe secretary will forward the book to each 

 .-r-sueiaie and subscriber. Respectfully subuiilted.-TuojiAS H. 

 Terry, A. D. Lewis, Committee.

 monishing the associate members to be more active advance 

 suggestions and improvements, and thus create a livelier interest 

 in kennel matters. He further stated thai, as ffel'eekta fcb+hri

 vious meeting accepted as read. 



I >r. Perry stated I hat as the ele.-;ion of officers and delegates of 

 the a-.-ociate members was not in strict conformity with the con- 

 stitution, and was therefore illegal.be had refused to open aud
