 cup. 



Lord McPherson is a good greyhound, white and brindle, 

 upstanding and well muscled, showing much the quality of 

 his sire, last year's champion, Trales. Lady in Black is 

 simply a freak, and not even her owner would claim she 

 shows greyhound points or quality. She is cat-hammed, 

 thin-legged, narrow on the loins and flat-sided, and as she 

 stands, looks scarcely larger than a big terrier. She is 

 black, with white front. Where she finds material to run 

 upon is hard to say, but has showed her ability to run kill- 

 ing courses in the same day, and her speed in a long course 

 is one of the queer things in greyhound theory and practice. 

 She is, however, well bred, by Trales out of the old bitch 

 Dick's Darling, though she shows the type of neither. 



Lady Barton, which divided the Derby Stakes last year 

 with Lady in Black, is by Trales out of Dick's Darling, and 

 is another small one, yet wonderfully compact and muscu- 

 lar. There are few closer or prettier workers than she. Her 

 color is red fawn. She can hardly stay a long course with 

 Lady in Black, but is quicker from the slips and a closer 

 worker. 



Yonder He Goes is a useful-looking red fawn, showing 

 nothing of his sire's form, or marking. He is out of Arthur's 

 Gypsy, by Trales, the service of Trales being stolen. He 

 • shows the quality of most natural sons, and is fast, staying 



and gritty to a degree. All four of the above dogs were run 

 in perfect condition, few fitters being better qualified than 

 Mr. Luse. The latter gentleman is coming to be called 

 "Lucky Luse." He won first in the All-Age two years ago, 

 took all the Derby stakes last year, and this year takes the 

 whole of the All-Age. 



The Great Bend Derby, Puppy Stakes. 

 For 16 or more greyhounds, 18 months old or younger. 

 Entrance fee $5; the winner to receive 50 per cent, of en- 

 trance money and $50 cash, donated by the Morrison House, 

 Great Bend; the runner up 50 per cent, of remaining money; 

 third and fourth 25 per cent, each of money remaining after 

 second division. Affidavit of age must be made by owner.

Fourth Series. 

 Denmark beat Bartender and won first prize, $75. 

 Bartender won second, $12.50. 

 Lanaradzo won third, $3. 

 Girl's Favorite won fourth, 13. 



Denmark is a light brindle dog of good speed, limbs and 



Sluck. Bartender is a black, with a little white in front, a 

 kely one of some dasb. Lanaradzo is a light fawn of good 

 promise-, a speedy courser. Girl's Favorite is a smallish 

 bitch, black, with a little white about her, a gamy, merry 

 little worker. 



At the regular business meeting, held Friday evening, the 

 following: officers were elected for the ensuing year: Presi- 

 dent, D. N. Heizer. of Great Bend; Vice-President, J. Her- 

 bert Watson, of New York: Secretary, Ira D. Brougher. of 

 Great Bend; Treasurer, J. V. Brin&tn'an, of Great Bend; Ex- 

 ecutive Committee, C. G. Page, Aurora, 111.; H. C.Lowe, 

 Lawrence. Kas.; Dr. S. J. Shaw, of Great Bend; Committee 

 on Grounds, W. W. Carney. G. N. Moses and A. C. Schermer- 

 horn, all of Great Bend. Votes of thanks were extended to 

 Messrs, Uhl & Carney for the use of their ranch as 

 running ground; to Dr. N. Rowe, for his donation to 

 the stakes; to the press at large for its efforts; to the 

 National Greyhound Club for its interest and its offer of 

 the trophy cup. The treasurer's report showed a neat 

 balance, on hand after the paying of all bills. Mr. M. 

 Phister. of Cincinnati, was elected a member of the club, 

 Mr. Holloway has this year filled the unenviable task of 

 judging in an able and apparently very satisfactory manner. 

 The meet may very well be called a successful one. The 

 American Coursing Club can report progress. E. HotlGH. 



[In last week's despatch, sent at the opening of the meet, 

 the palpable error was made of announcing only 16 entries 

 in the All-Age Stake instead of 32.] 



DOG CHAT. 



THE proposed meeting of the English Setter Club, which 

 was to have been held last Thursday, did not take 

 place, there not being sufficient members present to make 

 up a quorum, which is a majority of the members. The 

 meeting was therefore adjourned to Thursday, Oct. 30, at 

 3:30 P.M. 



Dr. James E. Hair writes us that the Juno mentioned in 

 our report of the pointer bitches at Danbury as taking 

 Reserve, is not his dog. The Juno we had in mind is a 

 large^ coarse, black bitch, which was brought in after the 

 regular awards were made; but as we made the award list 

 from the secretary's list of entries, which was the only book 

 from which we could get the names of dogs and owners, we 

 supposed the entry was correct. Dr. Hair's bitch Juno, 

 though entered, was not at the show, and we can quite 

 believe his assertion that the mother of his promising puppy, 

 Juno A., is a bitch of much better quality than the one 

 taking Reserve. 



We understand from Mr. Hart, the secretary, that the 

 Elmira Poultry and Pet Stock Association will hold a 

 dog show in connection with their poultry exhibition at 

 Elmira, N. Y., Jan. 21-26, 1891. Though not under the wing 

 of the A. K. C. ; a show held in this section of the country 

 will no doubt stimulate the canine interest in that part of 

 New York State. 



In a letter from Mr. Washington A. Coster, he tells us that 

 he has received a letter of acceptance from Mr. Thomas 

 J ohnson, of Winnipeg, Manitoba, to judge at the coming 

 Eastern Field Trials, in place of Mr. T. I. Stone, who was 

 obliged to decline on account of business engagements. The 

 judges will therefore be Col. Arthur Merriman, Thos. John- 

 son and H. B. Duryea. Mr. Coster also writes that all par- 

 ties desiring any information as regards reduced rates and 

 transportation of dogs to and from the Eastern Field Trials, 

 to be held at Otterburn Springs, Amelia Court House, Va.,' 

 from western New York or Canada, should apply to B. P 

 Fraser, Trav. Pass. Agt., 19 Exchange street. Buffalo, N. Y.: 

 and from New York, New Jersey and the Eastern States, to 

 William Fleming, Sec'y Trunk Line Asso., 345 Broadway, 

 New York city; and from points South, to M. Slaughter, 

 Assist. Comm., Atlanta, Ga. 



We hear from Mr. Goldsmith, that the mastiff bitch Lady 

 Cobrey, consigned to his care by Mr. W. K. Taunton, Eng- 

 land, arrived on the S. S. France* consigned to Mr. Cbas. E. 

 Bunn, of Peoria, 111. Mr. Goldsmith speaks of her as being 

 a very large and fine specimen, and one not to be dwarfed 

 even by the six lions which came over on the same vessel. 



Speaking of these lions reminds us of the great Dane 



which performs with them. In one act Nero, as he is 

 called, serves as the pinnacle of a pyramid, formed by the 

 lions. He is perched on the top of a couple of tables, against 

 which, reared on their hindlegs, their muzzles touching the 

 dog, stand two of the lions, these in turn standing on the 

 backs of the other two lions. The total absence of fear on 

 the part of the great Dane is almost as remarkable as the 

 docility of the lions; yet we know not what a day may bring 

 forth, and Mr. Nero may find himself serving as a piece de 

 resistance to the lords of the jungle. By the way, though 

 lions are not exactly in the doggy line, we may remark that 

 their trainer, a German, completely explodes the idea which 

 generally prevails, that to control wild beasts and savage 

 dogs, one must keep his eye continually on the focus; for 

 be walks about as unconcernedly as possible, and, often as 

 not, turns his back upon the beasts. Another idea he has, is 

 never to touch them with the whip, the crack of the lash 

 being in his mind quite sufficient to cow them; as he says, 

 with some truth no doubt, that once they knew how little it 

 hurts, they would lose all respect for it. 



We call special attention to the notice at the head of this 

 department as to time when copy should reach us, 



We have received a pleasant letter from Mrs. Lee, owner 

 of the Alta Kennels, in which she informs us of the pur- 

 chase of thenoted St. -Bernard bitch Jael (E.K.C.S.B 20,821). 

 Jael is by champion Plinlimmon out of Deborah, who is by 

 champion Beauchief. In color she is a rich orange and 

 white with dense shadings. Height 3034m., and weighs 

 160lbs. She is quite a winner on the other side and at first 

 class shows too, as her record includes first and cup, Kennel 

 Club show at the Aquarium; first Brighton, two seconds 

 at St. Bernard Club shows, and equal third with Prudence 

 at the last Leeds show. Stock-Keeper speaks of her as a 

 rare stamp of brood bitch, and with justice, as she is the 

 dam of the noted Lady Sneerwell, winner of twelve prizes 

 and cups this year, and Proselyte, who won first at War- 

 wick, first Richmond, and two seconds at St. Bernard Club 

 shows, among other winners. 



Mrs. Lee also tells us she has a pair of Lord Bute— Ellen 

 Terry pups that are simply huge, and promises the 

 weights later on. She concludes with a paragraph of in- 

 terest to all St. Bernard breeders. Ellen Terry rested for 

 one year and then was bred again to the same dog, Lord 

 Bute, and if these dogs are not as large as those of her first 

 litter, she will begin to think there is something in our 

 climate against raising "big 'uns." Perhaps there is, but 

 may we not also find a reason in the way they are raised. 

 We believe that as a general rule more attention is paid to 

 the feeding and proper rearing of doers on the other side than 

 here. There is a class of men over there who are able to de- 

 vote almost their entire time to their kennels, and when the 

 cry is all for size there is little likelihood of their neglecting 

 any point whereby they can get ahead of their rivals. We 

 know of one instance on this side, in the case of the mastiff 

 Presto, whereby a system of feeding and exercise this dog 

 attained a growth and weight far in advance of the others 

 in the litter, and is now one of, if not the, largest mastiff in 

 the country. Breeders, if you do get a promising puppy, 

 leave no stone unturned to further its development even if 

 it does cost a little more, feed it on beefsteaks if necessary, 

 and don't forget the bone meal and gentle exercise. 



Our Hamilton correspondent writes us that at a meeting 

 of the Hamilton Kennel Club, held on the 21st inst., the fol- 

 lowing resolutions were adopted: Moved by Mr; Murdoch, 

 seconded by Mr. Hendrie, Resolved, That in the opinion of 

 this meeting, it is advisable that at ail bench shows given 

 in Canada and America under the rules of the C. K. C. or 

 A. K. C, the colors of the prize cards and ribbons should 

 be uniform, and that a copy of this resolution be sent to the 

 secretaries of the C. K. C. and A. K. C. with a rpquest that 

 the colors of all prize cards and ribbons be made uniform, 

 and distinctly specified in the rules governing bench shows. 

 Carried. Moved by Mr. Tinsley, seconded by Mr. Hore, That 

 whereas the date of some of the fall bench shows held in 

 Canada conflict with one another, thus not only interrupt- 

 ing what would otherwise be a complete circuit, and pre- 

 venting exhibitors from showing at all shows, but actually 

 affording an opportunity for inferior dogs to win prizes in 

 the absence of good animals; Resolved, That the executive 

 committee of the Canadian Kennel Club be corresponded 

 with and asked to endeavor so to arrange the dates of the 

 Canadian bench shows as to render them non-conflicting. 

 Carried. Moved by Mr. Davis, seconded by Mr. Tuckett. 

 Resolved, That in the opinion of this meeting the practice of 

 giving prizes for puppy classes at bench shows should.be 

 discontinued, and a copy of this resohition be sent to the 

 secretaries of the C. K. C. and A. K. C, and the various 

 kennel clubs in Canada. Carripd. Moved by Mr. Close, 

 seconded by Mr. Ricketts, Resolved, That in the opinion of 

 this meeting pure-bred dogs and bitches, imported for breed- 

 ing purposes, with the object of improving the breed of dogs 

 in Canada, should headmitted to the country free of customs 

 duty, and that a copy of this resolution be sent to the secre- 

 taries of the C. K. C. and A. K. C, and the various kennel 

 clubs in Canada, with a view of securing their co-operation 

 in securing the legislation necessary to this end. 



In a recent issue we gave the new law regarding the im- 

 portation of dogs into the States. We are not aware of the 

 workings of the Canadian laws with regard to importations 

 from Europe, but the agitation of such a resolution as the 

 above may result in abolishing the existing duty between 

 this country and Canada, and would no doubt be a great 

 benefit to breeders. At any rate our Hamilton friends seem 

 to be an active lot of new brooms, and we wish them every 

 success in their efforts. 



It is said that Dr. Dixon, having heard of Mr. Cruser's 

 method of training, proposes sending his champion Gordon, 

 Little Boy, to him. and if he can be cured of his infirmity 

 he will run Little Boy next year in the field trials for that 

 breed. 



It is not often that writers on the dailv papers tell the 

 truth when speaking of dogs; as a rule they are given to 

 picturing them as monsters of iniquity, especially the larger 

 ones. The World is the authority for the statement that 

 the New York dogpar-exceUeneeriow. is the great Dane, and 

 with truth says that "the huge animals are as gentle and in- 

 offensive as kittens, and their temper is so equable that 

 nothing short of the most serious kind of an imposition will 

 drive them to resentment." This has been our experience 

 with the breed, and they are also intelligent to a degree. 

 This paper also adds this tribute to human nature the world 

 over: "The possession of a big dog in New York is more 

 than a matter of fancy. It indicates that the owner does not 

 live in a boarding house or flat, and that he has sufficient 

 leisure to lead his dog up and down the highways for the 

 sake of exercising the animal." Indications of this sort 

 imply well. 



A little bird whispers that a cablegram left Melrose, Mass., 

 last Saturday for England, for another crack rough-coated 

 St. Bernard bitch. Mr. Moore, did you say ? Well , we won 't 

 tell any tales this time. 



We learn that San Antonio, Tex., is to have a field trial 

 this winter. Several gentlemen have pledged themselves to 

 run their dogs. We believe there are a number of good dogs 

 jn that section of the country, and the venture could be
