DISINFECTION OF DOG SHOW BENCHES. 



AT the annual meeting of the English Kennel Club in 

 January, Mr. Everett Millais moved the following 

 resolution which was unanimously carried: "That the com- 

 mittee be requested to see that no benching be accepted by 

 the Kennel Club which, if previously used, shall not have 

 been efficients disinfected under the management ot a 

 competent authority." In moving the resolution Mr. Mil- 

 lais said: . . . 



Mk. Chairman and Gentlemen— The question which it 

 is my dutv now to bring before you is one of the deepest 

 importance that can possibly be deliberated upon— not only 

 to the Kennel Club, but to every owner of a dog who supports 

 the club shows by exhibiting at them. I therefore ask you 

 to give me your full attention, and to come to a decision 

 whether the' rule I ask you to place upon your statutes is a 

 necessary one Or a troublesome innovation. 



I have been an exhibitor at the Kennel Club shows since 

 1ST5, and, like many others, I have been a severe loser from 

 supporting them. I trust that this statement will justify 

 the consideration or. the question, and the necessity of such 

 a rule as I am about to propose. 



As I take it, the great fundamental object of the Kennel 

 Club is to promote the breeding of a high class of dog, and 

 to further this object it holds two yearly shows. Before a 

 man can exhibit a dog he has not only to register it, but he 

 has to pay a somewhat heavy entrance fee. For this expen- 

 diture he has the chance of winning, his animal is received 

 by careful attendants, fed, comfortably benched, and re- 

 turned at the close of the show. 



I have never heard a single complaint against the Kennel 

 Club on this account, and I have had considerable experience. 

 But there is a complaint, and one which not only members 

 of the Kennel Club but all exhibiters without exception do 

 make, and that is the risk of contracting disease at the 

 shows. • 



Only one of these diseases will I mention, as precautions 

 against distemper— properly undertaken— would obviate the 

 possibility of the others. 



The primary object the Kennel Club has in view is the 

 production of good stock. I ask in all fairness what is the 

 ration ale of breeding good stock, incurring heavy expenses 

 in stud fees, and raising that stock if it is to bp ruthlessly 

 destroyed after being exhibited once!'' A few survive, and 

 the varieties of the dog benefit in consequence, but nothing 

 like to the extent that they would if there was no distemper. 

 The few that do come to the front become the sires of future 

 generations, but, being the few, inbreeding takes place to 

 an enormous extent, which could be avoided if a larger 

 proportion of good animals were raised; and inbreeding; 

 tends to make animals, as well as human beings, more diffi- 

 cult to rear. 



In other words, if they do get distemper they have it worse 

 than those not so inbred, and among inbred dogs the mor- 

 tality is large compared with those bred on more diverse 

 lines. Not only does distemper keep back all classes on this 

 account, but, I say it advisedly, it stops many a would-be 

 exhibitor from showing at all. 



Having referred briefly to the proposal to abolish puppy 

 classes, which he thought would make no material difference 

 to the mortality from distemper, Mr. Millais said that the 

 idea that every dog must have distemper is quite a mistake, 

 although the risk was, of course, largely increased by a 

 system which fostered the disease, as he proposed to show. 

 He then said: 



I need scarcely point out to you that if a dog suffering 

 from the disease is allowed to come into the presence of 

 those non-suffering they will all become affected. You 

 know this just as well as I do, consequently I need not 

 enlarge upon such an example, but if you require an 

 illustration I will give it. In 1887 I showed two puppies at 

 the Crystal Palace Show. In the same class a puppy was 

 exhibited that either developed the disease at that show — 

 and by this I mean that the symptoms appeared there, 

 though the puppy must have contracted it several days 

 previous to the show, or else it had lately had distemper 

 and had a relapse. At any rate there was a puppy with 

 distemper. As a result I lost 23. It is rare nowadays where 

 a competent veterinary surgeon is present that a dog with 

 distemper is allowed to be benched, or if symptoms appear 

 the dog is almost always removed. At the same time there 

 is just as much distemper after a kennel club sbuw as if 

 dogs suffering from distemper were allowed to be present, 

 and this is a point to which I am desirous of drawing your 

 careful attention. 



At the commencement of this year — having very carefully 

 studied the question— I made certain that the actual cause 

 of distemper was the state of the benches, and to prove my 

 theory I passed spills of wood up the nose of a puppy that 

 had the disease, and a considerable time afterward placed 

 these in a puppy kennel. 



Now, gentlemen, every puppy in that kennel developed 

 distemper. 



Mouths afterward, when I had succeeded in determining 

 the actual cause of distemper from a bacteriological point 

 of view, I spilt a flask of the virus on wood, and succeeded 

 without any trouble whatever in growing it again from the 

 wood on which it had been spilt, after many days had 

 elapsed. 



Proof such as this will, I think, suffice to satisfy the most 

 ignorant man that distemper can be contracted by the dog 

 from an infected bench just as easily as from an infected 

 dog. 



I remember the time when I could show puppies without 

 running any risk at all. Those werp the days when com- 

 mittees made their own benches and ^broke them up after- 

 ward. Nowadays it is different, and' the same benches are 

 used for one show after another. At many shows what are 

 termed hon. veterinary surgeons have appointments, men 

 who do not recMve the entries as they come, and in some 

 cases do not even enter the show. 



What is the result? You get the virus of disease on the 

 benches, and when they are erected at a kennel club show, 

 or elsewhere, although Mr. Sewell rigidly excludes even a 

 suspicion of distemper, our dogs are down with that disease 

 immediately after. 



Mr. Millais then referred to a correspondence which had 

 been published in the Fancier & Gazette on the subject of 

 disinfecting the benches after a show, adding: I am not 

 here to argue which of the disinfectants used is the best, 

 whether it be Sanitas, J eyes' Fluid, or any other, but I will 

 say this, that it is absolutely impossible to disinfect such 

 an enormous mass of woodwork as is needed for a kennel 

 club show with the very small amount of disinfectant used, 

 let alone the benches that are sent all over the country. 



I allow that almost up to this year very little was known 

 of the germ that causes distemper, but that microbe is 

 known to a few of us now just as well as I know many of 

 your faces, and so pure have we now grown it, that I have 

 never yet inoculated a dog that I have not given that dog 

 distemper within a week, and I say considering the size of 

 that lite form, less than the 5,000bh part of an inch in length, 

 that whatever disinfectant you use, unless applied in the 

 most careful manner and many times there is ample space 

 in the cracks and crannies of a show bench to escape the 

 sanitary action of such disinfectants. 



as organizers of these shows, to demand a guarantee that 

 the disinfecting shall be done thoroughly. 



A number of you here present may differ from me and 

 point to the fact that at every Kennel Club show as also at 

 shows held under Kennel Club rules, large placards are to 

 be seen everywhere, "This show is disinfected by so and 

 so." 



I ask you— what do you understand by such an advertise- 

 ment? I certainly was under the impression, at least it 

 conveyed, to my mind, that the Arm undertook the dis- 

 infecting of the benches before they were put up. 



On inquiry, however, I find that they have nothing to do 

 with the benches, and that the whole disinfection that they 

 do is to deodorize the show while it lasts, with a watering 

 pot or some such utensil. In other words, all the disinfection 

 they do is to keep away disagreeable smells during the show. 

 I most emphatically state that this is not disinfection, and 

 it in high time that some proper understanding should be 

 come to. That the work is efficiently carried out no man 

 who has any knowledge of these questions can believe. 

 Disinfectants are all very well for use in kennels, and are 

 most useful adjuncts to kennel hygiene, but to disinfect 

 benches in the manner they should be we require a dis- 

 infection of a more thorough character, and if contractors 

 want to know how this could be done I shall be pleased to 

 inform them, 



In the meautimeT consider that the question of disinfection 

 is one on which the Kennel Club should decide. 



COURSING GOSSIP. 



Editor Forest and Stream: 



I have to thank "J. W." for directing my attention to the 

 article on "The Waterloo Cup," by Hugh Dalziel, and pub- 

 lished in the current number of Outing, Laws-a-massy J but 

 thi E. C. A. would have enjoyed a judge with "an eye like a 

 hawk, as deaf as a post, and who rode like the devil." This 

 judge did fill the end of the bill, though, didn't he? 



The article is fairly right, though the author should have 

 said that a "cote" was an alternative, venerable though 

 somewhat disused, for the "go-by," and explain that "on 

 the outer circle" the dog that scores made the point before 

 and is both outfooting and outworking the other one. 

 Again, he gives no standard of demerits for faults. 



But, out of nine pictures, three are portraits of dogs, the 

 fourth one dogs and hare, one represents a "Webster" mak- 

 ing tracks, and another a man with a bag being "knocked 

 out" into a drain by a man with field glasses slung to his 

 side. In another picture you can see men with "Jerry Haw- 

 thorn" beavers, homeguard helmets and extra-up-in the-air 

 hats, these being the distinctive marks of various book- 

 makers, to which I heretofore made reference in your col- 

 umns. The picture showing the slipper gripping the dogs 

 is perfectly correct, and I have kicked in air when the pole 

 stuck in the mud my own self. ■ 



The best of it all is that this article puts into words what 

 was in the air. Col. North, who has made a lot of money 

 out of nitrate manures, is spending it right, left and center 

 in England, and goes in for sport. There was a report that 

 he was going to put in a yacht for the America cup, and 

 it is quite likely. Now the Waterloo cup ranks with the 

 Derby, and Col. North bought Fullerton to win it. He paid 

 £850, thatis $4,550, for him, and the dog was winner from 

 the time the sale was announced. His owner went off to 

 South America, but if ever a field was pulled so that the 

 favorite should win, it was done at Altcar, when Troughend 

 and Fullerton divided. There was no kennel money on the 

 dog, and though coursing is the most uncertain of sports, it 

 was Lombard street to a china orange on the Colonel's entry. 

 Mind you, Fullerton is a good dog, and so is Troughend, but 

 do you read over Mr. Dalzlel's story, how "Dear Belle was 

 drawn by arrangement, thus saving Fullerton a course," 

 and how Hershill met him "at a great disadvantage" in the 

 course before the final, and draw your own conclusions. As 

 Mr. Dalziel says, "there have been once and again objection- 

 able men creep into coursing circles." Seems to me some- 

 body suggested something to that effect apropos of box- 

 coursing down on Long Island, and the consequences of 

 perseverance thereof. 



My regards to J. W. 1 asked for him when I was at the 

 dog show, and hope to meet him some day. By the way, 

 what a splendid dog that was that arrived too late— Con- 

 spirator, I think, was bis name. He was a dog and in proper 

 shape. What depth and width of chest, and what shapely 

 wealth of hard muscle. There was not a grue within sight 

 of him, and if ever there is a fair open meeting, and that 

 dog is in, I'll back him at even money against the field.

BEAGLES CATCHING RABBITS. 



Editor Forest and Stream: 



Some time back one of your correspondents expressed an 

 opinion that few if any beagle dogs could catch a rabbit in 

 a fair race. Perhaps this may be true, but I know of a pack 

 in Frederick county, Md., which I saw run down and catch 

 two full-grown rabbits in possession of all their faculties, 

 run another to a standstill, and one other took to a hollow 

 log, leaving its tail between the teeth of the lead dog, all 

 this during a morning's hunt and being the only ones 

 started. It was in this way, I wanted to buy a dog, some 

 officious or offensive individual having poisoned four of my 

 old dogs. I visited Mr. Pottinger Dorsey, a breeder of bea- 

 gles, and was taken out to have an exhibition of their abili- 

 ties in the field. 



The first rabbit started was in a stubble field; it ran out 

 into a woods, through into a wheat field where it doubled, 

 but the dogs were so close that it headed for the woods 

 again and ran into a hollow log just in time to save its life, 

 Lee II. grabbing at it twice, the third time just catching its 

 tail. Leaving this one until an ax could be procured, the 

 dogs were put into a grassfield, where Wanderer struck a 

 trail and in a short time routed the rabbit out of a brier 

 patch, whence it scudded for a large swamp, about 40yds. in 

 front of it, the dogs close to it and running by sight. The 

 wily rabbit knew the paths among a dense mass of green 

 briers all over the swamp through which no dog could go, 

 but unfortunately for him went right through and out 

 across a grassfield leading for a hay barrick. In the mean- 

 time Wanderer, finding it impossible to get through, went 

 around and sighted the rabbit, gave one cry which brought 

 the pack around to him, and before the rabbit could gain 

 the haven which would preserve its life the little dog's jaws 

 snapped it up, with Lee II. and Chimerclosebehindhim. It 

 was the prettiest race I ever saw, in full cry from start to 

 finish, the gallant little dogs displaying not only the garne- 

 ness of their race but true dog sense. We now crossed an- 

 other wheat field with little groups of scrub oak all over it; 

 from one of these I started a rabbit which was unseen by 

 the dogs. Calling Chimer he took the trail, the others 

 packing with him at his voice, and in full cry they took the 

 rabbit across a chestnut grove and a county road into a 

 garden, out of this through a grassfield, where it doubled 

 back into the garden, and from there through the grove 

 again and back to the scrub oak field, and from there passed 

 back over the same ground, and back in the grove again and 

 squatted. The pack soon coming up in full cry, poor Mollie 

 started again in full sight of the dogs, and after a sight race 



had started a rabbit a mile or so back, and had flagged the 

 place. We took the dogs back, and instantly they picked 

 up the trail leading toward a swamp, and entered it a few 

 yards from its head hot on trail. For a few minutes they 

 were at fault, but presently they all went off together down 

 the east side of the swamp, the rabbit coming out two hun- 

 dred yards below where it went in, and hardly a minute 

 afterward Boston appeared followed by the pack, and away 

 they went in full cry across the field to a pike road. Here 

 again they were at fault for a short time, but Boston found 

 the trail, which went down the pike for five hundred yards, 

 and following it crossed the road into a wide grass field, 

 where they struck the rabbit by sight. Then for a race, side 

 by side like horses at the start they swept over the field, 

 gradually tapering out into a diagonal line, until Wanderer 

 let out a link and went to the front, picking up the rabbit 

 and turning a somersault in the air as he did so, coming up 

 on his legs again with the others all around him. The dogs 

 taking part in these races were Boston, imported Chimer, 

 Lee II., Wanderer. Fancy, Annie Bell, Music, Fairy, Wee- 

 naunau and Blue Dick. I purchased Blue Dick, and re- 

 turned home fully convinced that beagles could catch full- 

 grown rabbits. J. Randolph Groves.
