 stricken from the roll, provided, however, that upon remitting 

 the live dollars dues with an application of membership he shall

 presidents as hereinbefore provided. 



Mil. Watsou— I move that the American Kennel Club 

 consider the recommendations of the associate members 

 made in the report. Seconded and carried. The recom- 

 mendations contained in said report were then taken up, 

 read, and severally adopted. 



Article IV., with proposed amendments, was then read, 

 and on moLiou the secretary was instructed to publish them 

 for thirty days in the ordinary form, to la' acted upon at the 

 next tegular meeting of the American Kennel Club. 



Mlt. VVATSOS— Referring now to the treasurer's report 

 publishedin the Gazette-, I desire to ask one or two ques- 

 tions, I desire to say first I am uot asking these questions 

 in a fault-finding way. A number of people have come to 

 me and pointed out certain things, and one point, which they 

 have brought forward is one that should be cleared up. I 

 have been informed that between Jan. I and .Ian. tl. there is 

 something thai is not to be published, I don't think there 

 is ever anything done in the American Kennel Club that it 

 would hesitate to have published, and the question is, what 

 happened bet ween Jan. 1 and Jan. 11, if anything, that is to 

 be concealed? 



THE CHAIRM an -I will call on the secretary-treasurer to 

 make that clear. 



MR. VREDENBUBGTI— I am very glad that Mr. Watson has 

 brought this ma tter up. 1 1 gives tire an opportunity t 

 contradict rumors that have beeu put forward, and 

 are being circulated. The closing of Vo 

 Book was really the first day of Januar 

 a number of registrations that had com 

 accompanied with fees, and were otherw 

 not really close until Jan. 11, and then transferred the 

 account into the new cash book. That is the reason it was 

 Jan. 11 instead of Jan. 1. When the auditing committee, 

 Major Taylor and Mr. Wilmcrding, met, it was ascertained 

 that Mr,. Fay, who was on the auditing committee, could 

 not be present that day. They were appointed to audit the 

 ■accounts of 1839 only, but I showed them the books for 1888. 

 They went over those books and they saw exactly the source 

 from whence every dollar came to make the balance on hand 

 that I carried over to the new book on Jan. 11. That com- 

 mittee had a perfect right and opportunity to question any- 

 thing, if they saw any irregularity or apparent crookedness 

 in the account. If there had been anything of the kind they 

 certainly would have mentioned it in their report, but, as 

 you see. they found that the sources of income were the 

 sources mentioned.in the report. They have satisfied them- 

 selves that the balance of .^l, 228.28 was the legitimate amount 

 on hand when we closed our old books for 1888. They satis- 

 ' fied themselves of that before they touched the accounts for 

 1889. On the 18th of January, having a special meeting here, 

 Mr Fay telegraphed that he could uot get here, and asked 

 the president to appoint some one in his place. Mr. La Rue, 

 of the Pointer Club, was present, and I, knowing that he 

 "was a good book-keeper and a strong personal friend of the 

 gentlemau who is circulating these reports, requested Mr. 

 Belmont to appoint him in Mr, Fay's place. He accepted 

 the appointment and spent the balance of the afternoon 

 going over my accounts. » He said he was very glad to sign 

 the report of the other two members of the auditing com- 

 mittee. 



Mr. Watson - — What was the balance that was named that 

 was presented last year? 



Mu. VREQEN~BUR.fr tt — 81,624-. 09, That was the balance on 

 the 20th of February. 



Mr. Watson— You published a statement at one time 

 somewhere that you had a balance on hand of $1,228. Can 

 you tell me where that was? 



Mr, Vredenburgh— That was in the February Gazette of 

 moneys received by the American Kennel Club from all 

 .sources and of expenses of every description to Feb. 16. Re- 

 ceipts to Jan. 11, 1889, as by balance carried over per. new 

 book, ftl .228 28, and then the different sources from which 

 we received money from Jan. It to Feb. 16 made $2,875. 



Mi;,. Watson— I want to know how you bring it up to that 

 point. 



Mr. Vredenp.[:rgh— Because, we had no meeting from 

 Dec. 6, and in the meantime when I closed my books for 

 1888 and carried over my balance for Jau. 11, the balance, 

 happened to be si, 228.28. Then the following meeting is 

 where I made my report of a balance of f 1,62409. 



The chairman stated that the. advisory committee had in- 

 structed the secretary to show the hooks to any person 

 properly authorized, to see them, or, in other words, any 

 delegate, it not being necessary for the club even to instruct 

 their delegate, but he wanted it distinctly understood that 

 the books were not open for investigation by the general 

 public or those who have no personal interest in the affairs 

 of t he club.

lub was elected to active membership in tl 

 Club Sept. I'J, 1889, two days after the awai 



while, it has been staled in some of the weekly journals that the 

 Klmira awards should have been published in the list of "recog- 

 uized shows," I beg to submit that I had no authority so to do, 

 and would quote from my report, read at the September meeting, 

 as follows: 



"Your secretary begs to call your attention to the fact that 

 some of the clubs whoee application for membership are now 

 before you, have held 1 heir shows since filing such applications, 

 and, if said clubs are admitted, he would respectfully recommend 

 that some action should be taken at this meeting as to whether 

 t his association will or will not recognize the awards made at such 

 show." There was no action taken on my request, and the wins 

 at Elmira have not been recognized hy the American Kennel Club. 



At, the meeting of the advisory committee of this club, held 

 Sept. 19, 1889, it ordered the suspension of the Albany Kennel 

 Club for the non-payment of its prizes at its show held March 5, 

 6, 7 <md 8, 18811, and passed a resolution that if said prizes were 

 not paid within thirty days, that the penaltv Under Bale 28 

 would be enforced. The thirty days.expired on Dec. Ill, 1889, and 

 as no Official notification of the payment of arrears of prizes has 

 ever reached this, office. President Belmont, Jr. suspended ail the 

 officers of said cluh under Rule 28, referring to the application of 

 Kulc :.'o. 1 duly mailed notices to that effect to Mr. W. C. Hut 

 son. President; B. Gallup, Secretary; and Gen. AmasaJ.Parke 

 Jr. and Robert C. Pruyu, members of the bench show committei 

 'Phis matter is now before you, and in accordance with (In- rulei , 

 "the executive committee of the American Keuncl Club must, in 

 every pase of suspension, at their first meeting thereafte, either 

 remove i he same, or impose a penalty of disijiialilieat ion for such 

 per iod as they may decide upon." 



At our last meeting Mr. Lorenzo Daniels preferred charges 

 against Mr. Wm. Graham, of Belfast, Ireland, hut the same were 

 ordered laid upon the table, on the ground that, said Daniels had 

 not obeyed the orders of this club, and could not have his case 

 considered until he had complied with the decision of the club 

 rendered in July, 1889. Under date of Jan. la, 189(1, Mr. Daniels 

 iuclosed to your secretary a check drawn to the order of the 

 American Kennel Club for SS0.10, being the amount awarded by 

 the advisory committee to Mr. Graham, and requested that, his 

 charges against said Graham bo taken up by this club and acted 

 upon. Your secretary promptly referred this matter to President 

 Belmont, Jr., for instructions, and under date of Jan. 20,1899, for- 

 warded me the following commuieation: "I beg herewith to 

 notify you that, in view of the payment to you by Mr. Lorenzo 

 Daniels of SHO. 10, being the amount due Mr. Wm. Graham under 

 the decision of the American Kenuel Club of July, 1889, the sus- 

 pension imposed upon Mr. Daniels by the American Kennel Cluh 

 on Dec. 19, 1889, is removed pending final action by the American 

 Kennel Club at its next quarterly meeting. You will be kind 

 enough to hdld the amount before paying the same to Mr. Gra- 

 ham until such action as referred to above is taken." A copy of 

 the above notice from President Belmont was duly mailed to both 

 Mr. Daniels and Mr. Graham, and the cbeck was deposited in the 

 bank pending such directions regarding it that you may deem 

 proper to give at this meeting. Respectfully submitted, 



A. P. Vredenburgh, Sec'y. 



The treasurer's report was read and adopted, and is as 

 follows: 



Feu. 12. 1893.— To the Delegates ' of the American Kennel Cluh: 

 Gentlemen— In accordance with the resolution adopted at the 

 last meeting, I published my annual report in detail in the Gazette 

 of January, which fully sets forth the financial condition of this 

 club, and I leave it in your hands without comment for your 

 action in the premises. Since Jan, 1, 1SS0, 1 beg to submit the fol- 

 lowing: 



Received from all sources to date $3,974.72 



Expenses for same period 294.33 



I showed them the books, had a perfect right to correct anything, 

 and if I hey saw anything incorrect in the accounts they certainly 

 would have mentioned it, but you see it is published I hat the 

 source of income was only from the sources mentioned in the re- 

 port. They satisfied themselves that the .?1. 228.28 was the legit i- 

 mnie amount on band when we closed our old books for 1888. 

 They satisfied themselves that, we had them attached to the ac- 

 counts for 1889. On the 18th of January, having a special meeting 

 here, Mr. Fay was accepted, lie telegraphed that he could not 

 uel here and asked the president to appoint, some one in his place. 

 Mr. LaRue was present, and I knowing that, Mr. LaRue was a 

 pretty good book-keeper, and was a si rung personal friend of The 

 gentleman who has circulated these reports, 1 requested Mr. Bel- 

 nmut to appoint Mr. La.Rue to take his place. He accepted, and 

 ■ ■•'inie up and spent the balance of the afternoon going over the 

 accounts. He said he was very glad to sign the report of ihe.

Ma. Watson— I want yon to connect that. $1,228.: 

 annual report— why do you bring it up to that '< 



The Secretary— We had not met from Dec. 0 to February, and 

 in t he meant inie when I closed my books for 1SS8 we carried over 

 ihe. balance on Jan. 11. The baln.net; happened to be SI, 228 .2s, 

 Then the following meeting is where I made mv report of balance 

 of SI,H2t.0I). 



Mr. Watson— That was the report presented to the executive 

 Committee, it seems to me this §1,228.28 ought to be (he balance 

 presented al the annual meeting. 



The Secretary— It was. If the annual meeting was next July 

 you would have the total amount that would be received from 

 Jan. 1 or whenever I closed my hooks up. A t. the same meeting 

 when 1 reported I may have had $200 or $300. 



The Chairman— This has all come about in this way. Mr. 

 IVshall severed his connection with this club because certain 

 things were not done that he wanted. He came here with blot) I in 

 his eye and was going to have some of us put in Ludlow Street 

 Jail. Neither Mr. Peshall nor any one else can come in here a - rj 

 intimidate mc or Mr. Belmont or any one else, and we told him 

 virtually to go to the devil. 1 said to him if the New Jersey Ciu b 

 will appoint some one from his club to look at the books he could 

 do so. The advisory committee hold themselves responsible (o 

 show the books to any member, but we decline to have every Tom, 

 Dick and Harry who may come from the gutter to como here 

 and examine 1 he books. "Now, Mr. Peshall. there is the door and 

 you can go out." I think you will decide that the secretary and 

 advisory committe and officers were right not to open our hooks 

 and accounts to everybody to pick them to pieces and have the 

 papers filled with trash and nonsense. The commit tee has given 

 you the report. If there is anything more Mr. Wilmerdimr or 

 any other delegate wants to know, the secrelary ot the committee 

 will be instructed to open the accouuts or the books to tiny pet- 

 son who is entitled to that information. 



Mr. Leslie— I think the chair is out of place. Mr. Peshall is 

 not here to defend himself. I think such remarks out of place. 



The Chairman— The chair will assume the responsibility for 

 his remarks. 



Mr. Leslie— I think the remarks entirely out of place. 

 The Chairman— The chair in answer will say that he has 

 always been perfectly courteous in every way, but this question 

 has become one that should be met, and the statement should be 

 met as I met it in my notion. If the members do not agree with 

 me, I accept t he personal responsibility for my remarks. I regret 

 that Mr. Leslie should think anything personal as to the neeesgi fey 

 of saying how this thing occurred. The chair will assume the re- 

 sponsibility for the verification of those facts. 



The Chairman— The officers of the American Kennel Club 

 have sought to keep the amount of money received for the Stud 

 Book by itself. They have also sought to keep the amount of 

 money received for the Kennel Gazette by itself. They have 

 thought associate members of the club and the clubs themselves 

 were really a component part of the American Kennel Club, and 

 their object in keeping the accounts as they have is reallvto show 

 exactly what has been received for the Stud Rook and what, has 

 been disbursed for the Stud Book, the same for the Gazette be- 

 lieving that the American Kennel Club account, which was a 

 general account, should be taken from that account to make good. 

 But there has been no deficit. This association has been managed' 

 upon the same principle that a very large dry goods store or arc- 

 store, has been. We have tried to make it self-supporting. We 

 give the sources of revenue and disbursements. That is the 

 reason they have been kept iu that shape. 



The Secretary— Mr. Belmont is perfectly satisfied to stand by 

 his guarantee in this manner of keeping accounts. 



Mr. Leslie — 1 would like to ask when did Mr. Belmont become 

 guarantee V 



The Secretary— For five years from the 1st of January, 1S80, 

 to the extent of 85,000 per year. 



As I have been much amused at reading the speech made 

 by the chairman, I suppose that it will be of interest to your 

 readers. Some of your readers, upon reading Mr. Anthony's 

 speech, and especially those who have not the honor of his 

 personal acquaintance, might form the idea that he was a 

 blackguard, but I can assure them that such is not the case 

 Mr. Anthony is a gentleman, and while I do not submit his 

 speech as evidence to prove my assertion, I will submit the 

 fact that he has heretofore, often in his letters, mentioned 

 that he was a gentleman, aud as we are, one and all, in 

 honor bound to believe any statement that he may or might 

 make, and as we have no right to differ with any opinion or 

 statement that he has made or may make, consequently it 

 must be a conceded fact that he is a gentleman. 



As to his conclusion or ruling that nine delegates repre- 

 senting nine clubs out of the forty-five clubs which consti- 

 tutes the membership of the A. K. C, make a quorum 

 for the transaction of business, after what I have above 

 said, I do not feel like expressing an opinion in opposition 

 to his rating, yet I submit to your readers the unfortunate 

 position in which his ruling places the law as we find it laid 

 down in ''Cushing's Manual," which is the recognized 

 authority governing all clubs, not only in this country, but 

 in England. "Cushing's Manual" should now be revised 

 so as to conform to the ruling made by the president of the 

 A. K. C, and the ruling made by Mr. Anthony as chairman 

 of the A. K. 0. at the last meeting. 



Mr. Watson evidently tried to get the treasurer to explain 

 to his (Mr. Watson's) satisfaction the item of $1,228.28, and 

 he perhaps would have been successful if the chairman had 

 permitted him to have further interrogated the treasurer 

 upon this subject. This balance of $1,228.23 I have hereto- 

 fore claimed and do now claim was never earned by the 

 cluh, it is there simply through a system of book-keeping; 

 and the answers made by the treasurer in explanation to 

 Mr. Watson are as trashy and as full of jugglery as the re- 

 port made by the treasurer and published in the official 

 organ. It does not require a book-keeper to see at a glance, 

 that this account is juggled. 



The treasm-er upon the same day, at the same time makes 

 one report and two statements, as appears in the February 

 (1880) number of the official organ as follows:
