CINCINNATI DOG SHOW. 



I Special Report.'] 



C CINCINNATI, June 9.— Editor Forest and Stream: The 

 J fourth show of the Cincinnati Sportsmen's Club, held 

 here last week, was a capital show of dogs, notwithstanding 

 the very hot weather. I am informed that the association 

 will hold a show each year in future, and select an earlier 

 date. The management was under the care of Mr. G. H. 

 Hill, of Madeira, who performed his duties in a satisfactory 

 manner. The judges were Messrs. J. M. Taylor and James 

 Mortimer. The former judged the pointers, setters, fox- 

 hounds and beagles, and Mr. Mortimer the other classes. 

 The judging was finished the first day andl heard hut little 

 grumbling at the awards. 



There were nearly 300 dogs entered, many of them being 

 well known prize winners. The quality in some of the 

 classes was very good indeed, the mastiffs, greyhounds, 

 setters and fox-terriers taking the lead. The show of spaniels 

 and collies was very small, as was also the case in some of 

 the terrier classes. The attendance was not what it should 

 have been, although I presume that the club has come out 

 all right, as there was a fair crowd present during a portion 

 of the time. 



MASTIFFS. 



The mastiffs were not large classes, but the quality was 

 better than I expected to see. Moses was the only one in the 

 challenge class. He is a big one and was well shown. "With 

 better head properties he would be a hard one to beat. The 

 bitch class had no entry. Ormande, the winning dog, is well 

 put together and has a good head except that he is weak in 

 muzzle. He is under size and small in bone. Pluto, winner 

 of second, is a bigger dog and has better bone. He has a 

 yellow eye and moves awkwardly. Victor and Duke, both 

 commended, are a long way behind the others. Mengladen, 

 the winning bitch, is well known. Duchess of York, sec- 

 ond, has the best head of the lot, and when matured she 

 will make it interesting for some of the good ones. Ilford 

 Czarina, vhc, is a big bitch, but too houndy in head and 

 weak in muzzle to win in a good class. Only one puppy 

 was shown, a poor specimen. 



ST. BERNARDS. 

 There were no entries in the challenge classes. Peter, the 

 winning dog, is quite a nice one, but is too houndy in head. 

 Golddust, winner of second, has a good head, but is too 

 small, and is lacking in markings. Vulcan, vhc, was the 

 best in the class, and I should have placed him first, not- 

 withstanding his lack of condition. He is of good size, has 

 a good head, is of nice color and is properly marked. The 

 bitches I did not fancy, and do not think that they will ever 

 get in the challenge class. The two dog puppies are promis- 

 ing. First was withheld in smooth-coated dogs, and second 

 might as well have been, as the winner is not a good one. 

 Nora, in the bitch class, is well known. 



NEWFOUNDLANDS. 



Bruno, the wiuner, is a dog of more thaa average merit. 

 Flora, winner of second, is of good size, but lacks character, 

 GREAT DANES. 



The well known Brock was the only entry in the challenge 

 class. He was looking well for his years. Melac, the win- 

 ner in the dog class, won in the puppy class at Chicago last 

 spring. He bids fair to make a very good one. Aside from 

 these two there was nothing up to show form. 



DEERHOUNDS. 



Only two deerhounds were shown. Both have been often 

 described. 



GREYHOUNDS. 



Dr, Van Hummel made nearly a clean sweep in the grey- 

 hound classes, winning every prize except second in the 

 open dog class. His dogs were shown in excellent condition. 



FOXHOUNDS. 



The foxhouuds were a good-looking lot, but why a class 

 was made for so-called shaggy foxhouuds I am at a los3 to 

 determine, as none of the variety were shown, the class con- 

 taining only the kind commonly known as the American 

 hound, and no good ones of those. 



POINTERS. 



The entires in the challenge class were absent. Chief, the 

 winning dog in the 551bs. and over class, is just about an 

 average specimen, with a head that is much too short and 

 thick. He ha3 a capital set of legs and feet. All the others 

 in this class are well known. Tempest, unnoticed, I thought 

 just about erood enough in this company for a vhc. card. 

 Phantom, the winning bitch, I do not like, she is bad in 

 head and chest, and is too light in limbs to stand hard work. 

 Both Nell and Lady Jane are better bitches. In the under 

 551bs. class, Trinket's Coin won in the dog class. He is 

 coarse in head and lacking in character. Tribulation, the 

 winner of second, is well known. He is a better dog than 

 Coin. Molton Baron, vhc, was the best in the class, except 

 in condition. He shows more true pointer character than 

 all the others in the class combined. Trinket, winner in 

 the bitch class, also shows character and is quite a nice ani- 

 mal, although she is a bit weedy. There was nothing else 

 in the class that will ever dq any winning in decent "com- 

 pany. 



ENGLISH SETTERS. 



There was only one entry in the challenge class, Dad Wil- 

 son. He has filled out since I saw him last, and is a much 

 better specimen than I imagined he would ever be. Ben 

 Hur of Riverside, won iu the open dog class. He is a bit- 

 lathy and light, but shows lots of character, and is a very 

 taking-looking animal with a capital set of legs and feet. 

 Dad Wilson's Boy, placed second, is fully up to the winner 

 except in quality. There was nothing else in the class 

 that came near the winner. Bohemian Girl had an easy 

 win in the class for bitches. She was in good form. Letty, 

 placed second, is a very pretty bitch, but a bit weedy. Flor- 

 ence, vhc. and reserve, shows considerable character, but is 

 lacking in substance and was not in good condition. Dixie, 

 vhc, is a better bitch than Florence, as she has plenty of 

 substance and has no serious faults except that she is get- 

 ting along in years. None of the puppies give promise of 

 future greatness. 



IRISH SETTERS. 



The challenge class brought out three good ones in Mack 

 N., the winner, Dick Swiveller and Blarney. Dick had the 

 call in my estimation until I compared the two, when the 

 better hindquarters of Mack showed him to be the better 

 dog. Aside from the three mentioned and Winnie II., the 

 winning bitch, there was nothing else in the classes that, 

 was up to show form. 



GORDON SETTERS. 



Little Boy won in the challenge clas3 very easily from 

 Leo^and Dixon, and Rose was the only entry in the bitch 

 class. Rob Roy, the winner in the open dog class, is a nicely 

 made dog with a fairly good head and a capital set of leg's 

 and feet. His coat is bad and he is off in color. Reginald, 

 placed second, is not a show dog, being coarse and lacking 

 in character. Meadowthorpe Blossom, winner in the bitch 

 class, is well known, as is Lady Pilot, placed second. 



COLLIES. 



I do not profess to be up in collies, but I know enough of 

 the breed to know that they were the worst lot that I ever 

 saw at a dog show. 



IRISH WATER SPANIELS. 



The well-known Patsy O'Connor had the challenge class 

 to himself. King Slash's Boy, first in the open dog class, is 

 a fine upstanding dog, a bit off in skull and lacking in coat. 

 The bitches have often been described, 



FIELD SPANIELS. 

 Black Diamond, the winning dog, is much too heavy in 

 head and short in neck to beat Samson, placed second. The 

 latter has much the best of it in head and neck, and is 

 equally good at other points except in coat. 



COCKER SPANIELS. 

 Brantford Red Jacket was placed over Black Duke in the 

 dog class, a decision that I cannot indorse. Both are well 

 known and have oftenbeeu described. Sensation was lucky 

 to catch Marguerite out of show form. 



POODLES. 



Hans, the winning poodle, is quite a good specimen of the 

 corded variety. Prince is also of the same strain, and but 

 little inferior to the winner. 



BULLDOGS. 



Rabagas was absent, and Joker, the only one shown, was 

 given first, which he could not win in decent company. 

 BULL-TERRIERS. 

 Sir Jack, the only entry, is rather a nice dog, a bit slack 

 behind the shoulders and weak in jaw. 



BASSET HOUNDS. 

 Babette, the only one shown, is well known. 



DACHSHUNDE. 



The winners, Skelett and Schenke, were the only ones 

 that were worthy of notice. Both are fairly good specimens. 

 The latter is a bit snipy and too tight in skin. 



BEAGLES. 



With the exception of Little Duke in the challenge and 

 Ross W. in the open class, there was nothing worth notice. 

 Ross is rather too large and coarse for good company. 

 TERRIERS. 



As I am not up in terriers I shall not attempt a criticism; 

 were I to attempt it, I might put my foot in it. The fox- 

 terriers were not numerous, but looked a very good collec- 

 tion. None of the other terriers were well represented, at 

 least in numbers. 



PUGS. 



The pugs were one of the features of the show; at leasit 

 this appeared to be the sentiment of the pug fancy, but as I 

 know less of them than I do of terriers I will pass them 

 without comment. The classes were well filled, and the 

 little beggars were the center of attraction, and so far as I 

 was able to see they were properly placed. 



KING CHARLES SPANIELS. 

 Rena, the winner, is much above the average in head 

 properties, and with better eyes and tan would be a very 

 hard one to beat. Jerry, placed second, is better in color 

 but is behind in head. 



ITALIAN GREYHOUNDS. 

 The winning dog and bitch are very good specimens. The 

 latter is about good enough for any company. Behind these 

 there was nothing worthy notice. 



MISCELLANEOUS. 

 The winner in the over 251bs. class is a nondescript, and 

 under the rules cannot win a prize. The winner in the class 

 for small dogs is quite a good Japanese spaniel, a little off 

 in coat and eyes. Following is a list of the

TO FORM AN ENGLISH SETTER CLUB. 



r PRERE will be a meeting of those whose names are asso- 

 JL ciated in the call below at the rooms of the American 

 Kennel Cluh, No. M Broadway. New York city, Tuesday, 

 June 24, at 1 P. M., to form an English setter club, for the 

 electiou of officers and transaction of sucb business as may 

 come tip at the meeting. 



NEW Yop.k, Jan. 33.— We, the undersigned, desire to in- 

 voke concerted action by persons interested in the English 

 setter, for the organization of an English setter club. Such 

 a club is urgently needed in the common interest to under- 

 take the regulation and better management of those matters 

 affecting this particular breed of dogs, which require the 

 authoritative direction of a central body. Among the prin- 

 cipal objects to be observed is a revision of the standard of 

 bench show form to conform to the improved English setter 

 of to-day, as demonstrated by the results of our" numerous 

 field trials; to select and suggest the names of men com- 

 petent to judge the breed at bench shows, to offer prizes at 

 such shows as shall recognize the standard of the. club, and 

 the judges selected by it, and to extend its influence to the 

 promotion and improvement of field trials, aud to the selec- 

 tion of judges at such trials in such manner as the club may 

 deem most efficient and desirable. It might also be expedi- 

 ent to secure necessary legislation for the better protection 

 of the right of property in dogs, and for kindred purposes 

 which only concerted action can adequately influence. To 

 this end duplicate lists for signatures will be mailed to sev- 

 eral sections of our country, where a strong followim? is 

 assured. When the lists are all returned, a call in the 

 proper papers, with the signatures obtained, will be made 

 for a meeting for the organization aud transaction of such 

 business as ruay come before it. To this we, the under- 

 signed, agree:

New York, June 16.— Editor Forest and Strearn: In Feb- 

 ruary and March last the signatures of these owners and 

 breeders of English setters were obtained, and they should 

 have been sent in long since; but a rush of business in prepa- 

 ration for and giving a seri°s of tournaments taking my 

 entire time, prevented my attention to the matter. I am 

 alone responsible for the delay. J. M, Taylor. 



CENTRAL FIELD TRTAL CLUB DERBY. — New York, 

 June 12.— Editor Forest and Stream: In checking over the 

 entries to our second annual Derby, we find that the sub- 

 joined entry was omitted from the list sent you last week: 

 F. Richards, agent, setter Rudge Gladstone (Paul Glad- 

 stone — Bohemian Girl). This makes total number of entries 

 116.— C. H. Odell, Sec'y Central Field Trial Club. 



CHAMPION FLORA II.— This well known St. Bernard 

 bitch strayed or was stolen last week from her kennel at 

 Moutclair, N. J. Information regarding her will be thank- 

 fully received by Mr. L. Daniels, 3Q1 Produce Exchange 

 Building, New York.
