IBefore her return she will he hred to the hest dog that can 

 pe found. In the open dog class the order was Rochelle 

 Knickerbocker first, Dick second, Buffalo Albert vhc. and 

 wiper he. All are well known. The bitches are also well 

 known. The winners were Rochelle Nadjy first, Gipsey 

 fcjueen second and Buffalo Girl vhc. Desdeniona and Nanon 

 mere absent. 



OTHER TERRIERS. 

 ] Our old friend Rosie was the only Scottish terrier shown. 

 •Dan McGinty, entered in this class, was out of his element; 

 ibe should join his namesake. Pansy was alone in the class 

 for Dandies, and Hornet and Blue Gown represented the 

 IBedlingtons. The latter, placed second, was heavy in whelp 

 fend not in show condition; had she been in good form this 

 I&ecision would probably have been reversed. Only two 

 •Irish terriers faced the judge. Kathleen, placed first, is 

 fevell known, Mars, second, we preferred for first place. 

 •Kathleen, although more racily built, lacks substance and 

 ffipe and her expression is not quite right. Mars is a bit 

 lcobby, has too full an eye, is not clean cut under the eyes 

 land is also lacking in expression, but aside from this he 

 Ktnothers the bitch. He has plenty of bone and substance, 

 Jgood skull and body with capital legs and feet, and a proper 

 •coat, except perhaps that there is a trifle too much of it. 

 ♦The well-knowu Sir Stafford easily captured the blue in the 

 for Skyes. Chip, the only other entry, is not a show 

 •dog In the challenge class for Yorkshires, Bradford Harry 

 |bad a walkover, Dolly, the only other entry, beiag absent. 

 Ilo the open dog class the New York decision was reversed, 

 fToons Royal winning first over Fish pool Gem. Both were 

 jin capital condition. The former is three years older than 

 I Gem, and is still good in color, while the younger dog has 

 ■faded considerably. Lancashire Ben obtained the vhc, card. 

 ■He was Dot at his best. The winning bitches are both well 

 I known. They were in good condition. The Clydesdales are 

 I also well known. They occupied their usual positions. 

 PUGS. 



I Bob Ivy and Bessie had the challenge classes to them- 

 Ifielves. 'the open dog class was not a. large one. Little 

 I Jewell, winner of first, was second at Rochester. Puck, 

 placed second, is too big, long in face and smutty in color to 

 ■ win in good company. In skull, wrinkle and trace he is 

 I fairly good. In bitches first went to Beauty III. She is 

 I good in head, muzzle and eyes. She is young yet and will 

 I undoubtedly improve. At present she is too loose in body. 

 I Midget, placed second, is better in body than the winner, 

 hut is not her equal in head; she also lacks trace. Myrtle, 

 heavy in whelp, could only obtain a vhc. card. The two 

 I puppies were each giveu an he. card, which about filled the 



TOY SPANIELS. 



' Three King Charles were shown in this class, none of 

 them being first-class. Uoronto Charles, the winner, is just 

 a, fair specimen, good in skull, ears and color, but too full 

 before the eyes. The two sehipperkes, Midnight and Dark- 

 ness, were taken from the miscellaneous class and given a 

 class all to themselves, leaving the bob-tailed sheepdog 

 alone in his glory in the miscellaneous class. The club were 

 very li beral in their classification, and in addition to the 

 change noted above, they made a class for Sussex spaniels, 

 in which Newton Abbot Skipper was first and second went 

 to bis kennel companion and only competitor Bridford 

 Lady. Following is a complete list of the

DETROIT DOG SHOW.— Detroit, Mich., April 14.— 

 Editor Forest and Stream: Please announce through your 

 columns that the Michigan Kennel Club will give a bench 

 show in connection with the Detroit International Exposi- 

 tion, at Detroit, Mich., on Sept. 2, 3, 4 and 5, 1890. The Ex- 

 position Association will erect a permanent building ex- 

 pressly for the dogs, with a benching capacity of 650 dogs, 

 and eur club will offer such a liberal prize list that we 

 expect to have every bench filled. The building erected for 

 the dogs will have every modern convenience and comfort. 

 Perfect ventilation, very broad aisles, free from direct 

 draughts on the dogs, large judging rings and ample exer- 

 cising yards, both inside and outside the building, so that 

 in fair w r eather the dogs can have the advantage or a large 

 grass run outside, and if the weather should be inclement 

 they can be exercised inside. All the express companies 

 will have branch offices on the grounds, and deliver dogs 

 right at the bench show building. As our show will be held 

 the week preceding the Toledo show, dogs can be shipped 

 direct from the exposition grounds either by train or boat 

 to Toledo, and as our grounds and buildings will both be 

 ample, exhibitors can, if they desire, keep their dogs at the 

 exposition grounds until the following Monday, when they 

 can be sent to Toledo in time for the show opening there on 

 Tuesday. Our premium list will be ready to mail in due 

 time, and we respectfully call the attention of exhibitors 

 to the liberal provision for every class. — M. V. B. Saunders, 

 Sec'y Michigan Kennel Club.

THE BULLDOG CLUB OF AMERICA. -At a meeting 

 of the bulldog men present at the Boston bench show it was 

 unanimously resolved that a club to be known as the "Bull- 

 dog Club of America" should be formed. Organization 

 was effected by the election of Mr. H. D. Kendall as secre- 

 tary and treasurer, Mr. E. Sheffield Porter being elected 

 president pro tern., pending the final organization of the 

 club. Messrs. T. L. Park, R. B. Sawyer and the secretary- 

 treasurer were elected as a committee to draw up a consti- 

 tution and by-laws and count ballots for permanent organ- 

 ization. The secretary-treasurer was instructed to have 

 snch constitution and by-laws printed and as soon as prac- 

 ticable sent to all exhibitors of bulldogs at the American 

 Kennel Club shows during the past five years, with a blank 

 form of application for membership. As soon as the club 

 shall have obtained twenty-five members blank ballots will 

 be sent to the members to elect members of the ^executive 

 committee of the permanent organization, it being the 

 opinion of the meeting that the secretary-treasurer should 

 be one of the seven members of this committee in order to 

 carry out the full organization of the club. Such ballots to 

 be filled out and returned to the secretary-treasurer and the 

 result to be made known through the papers as soon after 

 the returns as practicable. Offers of cups unsurpassed by 

 any specialty club in America were made by members pres- 

 ent, assuring the success of the club beyond all doubt. All 

 interested are cordially requested to communicate with H. 

 D. Kendall, Sec'y-Treas. (Lowell, Mass.).

 adapted to the purpose. Entries close May 20. 



ST. LOUIS' KENNEL CLUB.-St. Louis, Mo.. April IS.— 

 Dr. E. H. Kessler is working hard to orgamze a kennel club 

 in this city. His idea is to place the initiation fee at the 

 low figure of .$5 and make the annual dues oulythe same 

 amount. In this way he hopes to secure a membership of 

 200, which would enable the club to give annual bench 

 shows on a large scale without calling on members to make 

 good a shortage. The Doctor is endeavoring to get the Fair 

 Association to give a show this coming fair, the "kennel club 

 to guarantee them at least 300 entries. Dr. Kessler has 

 already succeeded in interesting about fifty men in this 

 scheme.— Unser Fritz.

J. S. C. G., Toronto.— I have three Irish setter pups, sis months 

 old, that don't seem to thrive, although they feed well and are in 

 good spirits. They are terribly thin, and one of them drags his
