FOREST AND STREAM. 



(Sept. 18, 1890. 



Bailey bred both, but sold the younger at 6 months of age. 



Mr. T. King bred Bavard and the pedigree should read: 



' Bosco -I Bruno, 2,419. 



Champion Bayard, J - 1 Silverhorn. 



8,447. 1 Kirk's Tnnr, * Wonder. 



giving s Juno. - ( Bailey , s Juna 



Mi'. Bailey showed us a sou of old cb amnion Bayard— But- 

 tercup, out of Chitterbob (champion 'Hector— Duchess). 

 Although 10 years old he is as lively as a, kitten, he could 

 jump a five-barred gate, straight and strong and is appa- 

 rently good for another 10 years. He also showed us some 

 well-raarkeci young stock of considerable quality. But he 

 has long since given up showing, more's the pity, for there 

 are not many men in England that have done more for the 

 breed. 



The Fanciers' Gazette states that Bena II., the dam of Sir 

 Bedivere, is en route for the States. I fancy tb ere is some mis- 

 take about that. Bena If. is a litter sister to Sir Bedivere, 

 not the dam. The dam of Sir Bedivere is Bena And as 

 Bena should be heavy in whelp to Keeper at this time, I 

 fancy it is Bena II. that has been shipped. Namquoit. 



DOGS OF THE DAY. 



T AM still as fully convinced as I ever was that the A.K.C. 

 X should so beyond members' shows and recognize in some 

 way winuers at sbows held under their rules. Tbis is one 

 plan followed by the English Kennel Club, which we might 

 copy with advantage. It uives control of the dog shows in 

 a very p&sy manner, without clogging the membership 

 of the Kennel Club with a lot of societies which take no 

 interest whatever in the club beyond having its protection. 



Mr. Crowell writes from England that he is bringing with 

 him quite a number of dogs, maioly St. Bernards, and in 

 the published list he included Donna Silva. It may be that 

 Mr. Crowell is bringing her over, but a day subsequent to 

 that of his published letter an offer was made of Donna 

 Silva to an American breeder and an acceptance of the offer 

 was at once cabled. So, whether Mr. Crowell brings her on 

 or not, she will undoubtedly come to America. 



Another St. Bernard purchase for this country is the bitch 

 Dart, a winner of several prizes and very favorably spoken 

 of in the English reports. She was purchased on tiehalf of 

 the Swiss Mountain Kennpls, of Germantown, and has beeu 

 bred to Lord Bute, whose claim to be the best St. Bernard in 

 the world is not being disputed by any English exhibitor. I 

 notice that Lord Bute seems to be the sire of quite a number 

 of promising puppies, both for size and quality, and I think 

 this importation should turn out well for the benefit of 

 American breeders. 



Still another St. Bernard importation is Lady Garnet, by 

 champion Pouf out of Lady Aruslow, which Mr. William 

 Dodd, of Savauna.b, has purchased from Mr. George Long, 

 of Carlis'e, Eng. She is a young bitch, and has only been 

 shown in the novice and puppy classes, getting third at Glas- 

 gow and second at Hartlepool. 



Mr. J. S. Bacon, of New York, has made one or two collie 

 gureb'asps while in England this summer. They include 

 Clwyd Fan, winner of nine firsts, and in whelp to Edebaston 

 Fnx. With her come two of her puppies by Metchley 

 Wonder. 



Mr. T. A. Howard, of Columbus, Ohio, advises me that he 

 has just received a pug. Penrice, from England. He is now 

 two y^ars old and has won first at Brighton, Colchester and 

 Chelmsford, and second Crystal Palace. He is a well-bred 

 dog and only 131bs. in weight. Ohio seems to be quite a pug 

 country. 



I had the pleasure to meet Dr. M. H. Cryer the other day, 

 immediately upon his return from a six weeks' tour out 

 West and back t hrough Canada and the Eastern States. I 

 asked him how the dogs were, and he said he had not had 

 time to see them since he got home. 



Quite a nice little premium list has been got up for a show 

 in connection with tbe Cumberland County Fair, to be held 

 at Carlisle, Sept. 30 to Oct. 3. There is a classification for 

 twenty six breeds, with one to three classes for each breed. 

 Entry fee 50 cents, and the prizes run to $3 for first and $2 

 for second prize. Mr. John E. Steel, of Carlisle, is the Supt. 



I notice that Mr. Vredenburgh has called attention to the 

 fact that the Danbury show could not be recognized by the 

 A. K. C. Tbis I sa ; d in Forest AND Stream two weeks 

 ago, when I drew attention to the show. Last year's show 

 was held under the auspices of the now defunct Con- 

 necticut State Kennel Club, but Danbury has always got 

 along very well without the A. K. C, and I suppose it 

 doesn't see any important necessity for becoming a member. 

 The fact is, I don't think these small fair shows ought to be 

 recognized. Take Wilmington for instance, a very nice 

 show of its class, but surelv some distinction ought to be 

 drawn between a win at Wilmington and one at Boston or 

 New York. 



I can congratulate the Ottawa dog show managers upon 

 having secured the services of Mr. H. W. Lacy to judge 

 there on Sept. 23. It was with a great deal of regret that I 

 had to cancel my engagement, to go there, and I quite envy 

 Mr. Lacy the pleasure in store for him. 



Dr. Glass, of Philadelphia, has bought from Messrs. Tay- 

 lor & Brown the well known English setter Bob H. The 

 probability is that the Doctor will enter him at the Phila- 

 delphia field trial meeting. 



Mr. J. H. Wiuslow tells me he has lost two very nice 

 pointer puppies by distemper, one out of Naso of Kippen 

 and the other by Graphic.' 'But, will you believe it, the best 

 one is still alive," 



Mr. Marshall, the Newfoundland breeder of Troy, N. Y., 

 has purchased from Joe Lewis, of Pittsburgh, two young 

 pointers, Forest King II., son of Forest King, and Graph, 

 by Graphic. To ro>ke up for their departure Mr. Lewis has 

 purchased the dachshund Feldmann K. and Lina L. and 

 one of their puppies. Their former owner was Mr. Carl 

 Klocke, of Pittsburgh, who won quite a number of prizes 

 with them. 



The men who run beagles down in Jersey and about Phila- 

 delphia are quietly smiling over the National Beagle Club 

 field trials. They don't say that the field trials will be a 

 failure, but they want to know how in the world they are 

 going to be a success. 



"Uncle Dick" made quite a success of his judging at 

 Kingston, Ont. , so I am told by a well-known fancier who was 

 there. I see they have had dreadful floods at Hornellsville, 

 and I somehow tear that our friend will have suffered in the 

 washout. If so, we will all have to give him a helping hand. 



Dr. Foote has had something to say about the influence of 

 a sea voyage on the return of the season in a bitch. I had 

 no theory on the. subject, but was simply stating my obser- 

 vations and groping for information. What Dr. Foote states 

 does not change what I said at all.^I started the subject by 

 saying that a voyage to England set|a bitch back about three 



T 



months, and very soon I came across cases of bitches coming 

 from England which were not affected at all. Now Dr. 

 Foote has two cases on hand which exactly coincide with 

 that, and he accounts for the difference b*y saying that 

 Meersbrook Maiden that went to Englaud was a very 

 sensitive bitch, and tbe one that came here was the reverse. 

 I don't controvert what he says about his own dogs, but i am 

 sure that in the case of my own bitches, Nesta and Mavis, 

 they were both plain, stay-at-home, worry-about-nothing 

 animals, and yet they were set back. Dr. Foote's theory 

 does not hit my cases. 



Mavis went to England twice, with the same result each 

 time. The first time she was kept and bred to Sefton, sire 

 of Metchley Wonder. The second time she was sent to 

 Christopher, developed steamer surfeit, and Mr. Stretch, 

 being a little doubtful about her trouble, took her to a man 

 who should put A double S after his name in place cf V. S., 

 and he advised Mr. Stretch to send her away at once. She 

 was sent back without my hearing of it till she had almost 

 arrived, and did not suffer a double relapse, but came in 

 about the time she would probably have done had she 

 remained in England. I hope Dr. Foote will look tbe sub- 

 ject up a little more, it is his profession, not mine, and I am 

 curious to know why a voyage to England has apparently a 

 different effect from one to America. 



Has any one observed any diminution in the size of litters, 

 numerically, within the past few weeks? I have knowledge 

 of five bitches, all bred within a few days of one another. 

 Four of these were known good breeders, yet the result has 

 been that two of these missed, one had three puppies and 

 the other six, while the fifth— her first litter— had but two. 

 The weather at the time they were bred was excessively 

 warm and enervating. I was attending to the four cases 

 specially mentioned, "and in order to effect my purpose I had 

 to take the dogs into a cool stable where they would not 

 suffer from the heat. The two that missed Were the first 

 bred to the respective dogs, and the other two were services 

 a day or two later 



I have sold to the Rev. Chas. F. Kelly, D.D., of Towanda, 

 Pa., the black, white and tan dog Prince Charlie, by Sefton 

 out of Mavis. Now tint he no longer belongs to me. I would 

 like permission to state that he is a dog that should not be 

 overlooked by breeders. His pedigree is of the very best, 

 individually he is good, and I have seen good puppies from 

 him. J. W. 



TORONTO DOG SHOW. 



HE dog show at this busy fair opened tbis afternoon, 

 and by 2:30 P. M. Mr. Davidson commenced his work 

 in the pointer ring, Mr. Oldham getting to the spaniels 

 shortly afterward. As there are but two rings Mr. Mason 

 is reserved as an attraction for Wednesday, and at that time 

 he will judge all the non-sporting division. One would 

 almost imagine himself in an American show, so many are 

 the well-known faces I see around the ring. Among those 

 I noticed were Geo. H. Bush, A. W. Smith, Frank Dole, Dr. 

 Nelles, T. G. Davey, J. F. Kirk, Dr. Mills, W. A. Powers, 

 Geo. Bell, J. G. Mitchener, J. Luckwell. Andrew Laidlaw, 

 H. G. Charlesworth, C. S. Wixom, H. Jarrett, Ben Lewis, 

 Jos Lewis, Geo. Thomas, C. A. Stone, up to his ears in 

 work as superintendent, J. Massey, W. S. Jackson, Capt. C. 

 Greville tiarston and many other well-known dog men. 



Enough praise cannot be given to the committee for the 

 admirable building they have had erected by the Fair Asso- 

 ciation. Perfect ventilation, combined with ample room to 

 bench seven or eight hundred dons, and the several offices 

 connected combining to make it one of the most attractive 

 and well designed buildings I have ever seen for the purpose. 

 The stalls are divided by wire partitions in gilt and black, 

 and a noticeable feature is the ample space for each dog. 

 The building has been built from a rough design evolved 

 from the mighty brains of friends Davidson and Mason last 

 year, when the unfortunate exhibitors waded round the 

 show ankle deep in mud and other wretchedness. The fea- 

 ture of the show is the spaniel classes and a showing of 

 cocker bitches I have never seen excelled. The greyhounds 

 are a fine show, and the setters are not far behind. St. Ber- 

 nard classes are also pretty well filled, and the absence of 

 the Hempstead Kennel seems to have brought all the other 

 fox-terrier kennels to the front.

THE ENGLISH SETTER CLUB 



Editor Forest and Stream: 



At the meeting of the executive committee of the English 

 Setter Club, Sept. 9, the following important action was 

 taken: 



Moved. That inasmuch as the qualified members of the 

 English Setter Club of America were accepted as members 

 of this Club on payment of the memhersbip fee of $5, and 

 without payment of annual dues for 1890, we consider it but 

 just that tbe dues for this year be remitted to all other mem- 

 bers of the English Setter Club. Therefore be it 



Resolved, That existing members be entitled to tbe remis- 

 sion of their annual dues for the year ending Dec. 31, 1890, 

 and that all persons joining hetween this date and Jan. 1, 

 1891 be chargeable up to that date only, with the niemher- 

 shipfpe of $5, the intent of this action beioer to place all the 

 membership in tbis respect on an equal basis to the close of 

 the year, Dec. 31, 1890. Pekct P. DHL, Sec'y. 



MR. A. CROWELL sailed from England Sent. 10 on the 

 Canada with quite a string of dogs. Among the list is the 

 schipperke bitch Cople Sophia, purchased last year for 

 Mrs, J. W. Connelly, Dorchester, Mass.; she was bred Aug. 

 8 to Mr. G. R. Krehl's Drieska. Also the St. Bernard hitch 

 Pleiad (Plinlimmon — Mascotte), purchased for Mr. W. S. 

 Diffenderffer, Baltimore, Md. Mr. Crowell will brine; lor 

 his own kennel the rough St. Bernard dog Victory ( I jysan- 

 der— Lady Pauline), r.he hitch La Purcelle (champion Save 

 —Faultless), the bitch Prudence (Helvellyn — Zephyr), the 

 hitch Republican Belle (Plinli mmon— Florentius) and the 

 bitch Donna Silva (Duke of Wellington— Calypso). The 

 last three are well known winners. He will also bring the 

 smooth dog Belisarius (Bom l> astus — Topsy) and the bitch 

 Nun Nicer (Austin Friar— Muri). Both "have done some 

 winning in England, and Mr. Crowell thinks that some of 

 them at least will get into the money here. 



BEAGLE FIELD TRIALS SPECIALS. — Editor Forest 

 and Stream: Please publish the following donations i or 

 the National Beagle Club's field trta's: Mr. W. Stewart 

 Diffenderffer, Baltimore, Md., offers a suitable piece of silver 

 valued at $20 for the dog or bitch, bred by a member of the 

 National Beagle Club and owned by breeder, winning the 

 greatest number of heats. Mr. F. W. Chapman, Melrose, 

 Mass., offers a beautiful silver water set, valued at $25, for 

 the dog or bitch having the best vob'e; donor not to compete. 

 Mr. E, C. Barrett, Boston, Mass., offers a powerful pair of 

 field glasses, valued at $20, for the dog or bitch doing the 

 best trailing throughout the trials. More specials will be 

 announced later.— F.W. Chapjian, Secretary (Boston, Mass., 

 Sept. 13). 



SALE OP MT. WASHINGTON KENNEL. — Editor 

 Forest and Stream: Will you please state in your valued 

 paper that I have disposed of all my interest in the Mt. 

 Washington Kennel to Mr. Joseph Lewis, of Canons-burg, 

 Pa., including champion Paul Gladstone and several other 

 English setters. The kennel will be carried on under the 

 old name by Mr. Lewis at Canonsburg, Pa., and I wish to 

 state to the public that it gives me much pleasure to recom- 

 mend Mr, Lewis to them, as my six years' experience with 

 him was of the most pleasant nature, and I would not have 

 severed my connection with him had I remained in the 

 Eastern countryr— S. L. Boggs,- Salt Lake City, Utah.
