BRUNSWICK FUR CLUB'S MEET. 



Ei'litor Forest and Stream.'. 



The .secontl :snuttal meet of the Brunswick Fur Club took 

 place at East \Vakefiel(l, N. H., during the second week in 

 February. The club met on Monday, the 9th, and adjourned 

 the following Saturday. The meetiog was a fair-sized one, 

 ;ibout twenty good lovers of the chase being present. The 

 locality was'all that could be desired for fox-hunting, but 

 utifort'unately an icy crust covered the snow, letting the 

 hounds slump at every step, wbile the fox ran over it with 

 ease. Althotigh the conditiotis wei-e very unfavorable for 

 brilliant sport, good runs were obtained each day of the 

 meet. On Friday, the wind haviug gone down, a grand 

 race was bad, the" hounds finding at 7 A. M. and itushing 

 reyoard closely till ti P. M". This run, on such a crust, was 

 pbenomenal, and repaid every one for the trip. 



No further meets of the clttb will be held till the field 

 trials next Novetnber. Please allow me to state in your 

 valuable paper that the third annual field trials of the 

 Brunswick Fur Chib will be held in November without fail, 

 and will be arranged as perfectly as those the club has 

 already held. The owners of crack packs in the South and 

 West were invited to attend the last trials, and though 

 some accepted, they failed to materialize. This year we re- 

 new the invitation and earnestly hope they will come. 



On the first night of the Last meet, Feb, 9, the annual 

 election of officers Avas held and other lunsiness transacted. 

 The following nfiicers were elected, viz.: President, L, O. 

 Dennison, Waltham, Mass,: First Vice-President, A. C. 

 Heft'enger, Portsmouth, N. H.: Second Vice-President, C. 

 G Greenleaf. Bath, Me.; Third Vice-President, F. H. Wil- 

 .son, Brunswick, Me.; Secretary. J. H, Baird, Auburndale, 

 Mass ; Treasurer, H. A. Stetson, Brunswick, Me.; Master of 

 Hounds, R. D. Perry, Braintree, Mass. Executive Commit- 

 tee; L. O. Dennison, Waltham, Mass.: A. McDonald, Rock- 

 land, Me.; Samuel Knight, .Jr., Brunswick, Me.: W. B. 

 Stone, AValtham, Mass.; and L. E. Conant, Waltham, Mass. 



Mr. Baird declined to serve another term as secretary, and 

 pending the election of a new one. President Dennison and 

 Vice-Pre.sident HeflEenger will attend to the correspondence 

 of the cltib. 



It was voted to oflier tbe following special prizes at the 

 coming bench show of the New England Kennel Club, viz : 

 SIO for the best American-bred foxhound dog, $10 for the 

 best American-bred foxhound bitch, S5 for the best Ameri- 

 can-bred foxhound puppy, dog or bitch, under IS months. 

 Hounds owned or controlled by members of the club are 

 ineligible for competition for these prizes. It was further 

 voted that, as the club had done so much for the advance- 

 ment of the foxhound, the New England Kennel Club be 

 requested to .select one of its members to judge tbe foxhound 

 class at its eoming bench show. 



As the club is anxiims to own its own hunting grounds 

 and club house, it was voted that the admittance fee be $5 

 and the annual dues for the current year §3, but that at tbe 

 next field trials a motion would be made to increase the 

 annual dues, that a sufficient sum may be realized in a few 

 years wherewith to make the desired purchases. 



The roll of membership, which was one hundred, being 

 full, and many desirable men having sent in applications, it 

 was voted to increase th e membership to two hundred men. 

 The club is in a thriving condition, and its future was never 

 more brilliant. In a few years it will own the best bunting 

 ground, club house and kennels in the couotry, and fox 

 lutitters who have not joined it will have missed a rare 

 opportunity. A. C. Hewexcieb, Vice-Pres. B. F. C.

SALISBURY AND CARDINAL, 



Editor Forest and Stream: 



Mr. Vero Shaw has allowed a misstatement in regard to 

 myself to get into one of his interesting articles to the 

 Stocli-Keepcr. He states (Feb. 6) that at tbe Edinburgh 

 show eleven years ago, he "got into dire disgrace with Mr. 

 Mason for placing Mr. W. K. Taunton's brindled Cardinal 

 over tbe former gentleman's Salisbury, which, in my 

 opinion, was a pointer-bodied and always over-rated dog." 



Now for facts. Salisbury and Cardinal were shown at 

 Dundee some time before the Edinburgb show, and Mr. 

 Shaw on that occasion tried his level best to put the brindle 

 first. Mr. Dalziel, who judged with Mr. Shaw, said he 

 would hold out for a month or longer rather than be a party 

 to such a decision, and as neither would give way Mr. Raw"- 

 don B. Lee, now kennel editor of the Field, was appointed 

 referee. Mr. Lee's- verdict was ciuickly given in favor of 

 Salisbury, and he said he really didn't know what all the 

 fuss was about, because Salisbury was much the better 

 specimen, Mr. Shaw, instead of telling us why he preferred 

 Cardinal, wrote out the following very unsatisfactory report 

 in tbe Live Stock Jmirnal: 



"Mastifiis came next and were a grand lot; in fact tbe 

 judges officially marked their books 'a very grand class.' 

 Uufortunately,"^Messrs. Dalziel and Shaw conld not agree 

 about the winner, one going for the brindle Cardinal, and 

 the other for Salisbury, who was very unwell. After con- 

 siderable delay, Mr. R. B. Lee kindly consented to decide 

 the ciuestion, and his verdict was for the fawn." 



This critici.sm, or lack of criticism, was sevei'ely con- 

 demned at the time and went to strengthen the general 

 belief that Mr, Shaw could not give any satisfactory reason 

 for holding out for Cardinal. Mr. Dalziel's report in the 

 Stoc^c-JTccper set forth that gentleman's views in his usual 

 frank way, and Mr, Shaw's report contrasts very unfavor- 

 ably with it: "The renowned Salisbury, although sulfering 

 from temporary illness, is possessed of such undeniable 

 mastilf properties, .such grand proportions and so good 

 throughout, and especially in his loins and hindquarters, 

 where so many otherwise good dogs fail, that despite his in- 

 valid look, we thought he far surpassed even Cardinal, 

 whose really magnificent bead and front will always com- 

 mand admirers; Tjut he falls ofi: a good deal in loin and 

 hindquarters. The judges cotild not agree as to which of 

 these two should he first, and they were put aside until the 

 afternoon, when Mr. Rawdon B. Lee kindly consented to 

 »ict as umpire, and after a very careful examination of tbe 

 competitors gave his fiat in favor of Mr, C, H. Mason's great 

 mastiff Salisbury," 



Eleven years later Mr, Shaw comes out in tbe StocTt- 

 Keepcr and teUs us what he ought to have told at the time. 

 LTnfortunately this eleven-year-old opinion is even worse 

 than none at all, for it gives but one fault in Salisbury and 

 not any in Cardinal. Admitting Mr. Shaw is right, and that 

 Salisbury bad a pointer body, why should he not, with a 

 pointer body, beat a dog that was shelly in body, light in 

 loin, flat and unmitscular in quarters, lacking in size and 

 symmetry, and ring-tailed in the bargain? As Mr, Shaw did 

 not see these defects in Cardinal, the inference is, that he is 

 either a very poor judge or that he did not want to .see them, 



AH this might influence a man's opinion, but it did not 

 change mine about Mr. Shaw, As to the decision at Edin- 

 burgh, that is out of the qttestion. Mr. Shaw tried to put 

 Cardinal over Salisbury at Dundee, and I knew he would do 

 the same thing at Edinbtirgh. Consequently, as I was aware 

 what his decision would be before the dogs were taken into 

 the ring, Mr. Shaw could not possibly have "got into dire 

 disgrace" with me for placing Cardinal over Salisbury at 

 Edinbiu-gh, Mr. Shaw need not look very far to find why 

 begot into "dire disgrace," However, I do not wish to raise 

 the dead, and if he has changed his methods he may hence- 

 forth, if he feels like it, count me among his friend.s in this 

 country. Charles H. Masom. 



DOG CHAT. 



IT is some time since Washington held a recognized dog 

 ■ show, and it would seem as if they are ju.st ready for 

 another, judging from the way the merchants of the city and

 National Beagle Clttb oflers a suitable piece of silverware,

 made a challenge class for great Danes, dogs and bitches, 

 with prizes of ^1510 and $5. A challenge class for pug bitches 

 with prizes of t*;10 and 85, also a kennel prize of -JIO for the 

 be.st four or more ptigs entered and owned by one exhibitor. 

 A kennel prize of SIO has also been added for bulldogs, under 

 the usual condition,*. Great Danes have a special of $5 for 

 best dog or bitch. There is also a special of ¥5 for the best 

 collie entered and owned in the D. C. Other .specials are ex- 

 pected which will bring the amount to something like S750, 

 making with the premiums a sum of nearly |3,000. 



The Maryland Kennel Club, notwithstanding its troubles, 

 have secitred an entry for their coming show of which they 

 may well feel proud. The list of entries is as follows; Mastiffs 

 19, St. Bernards 61, bloodhounds 1, NTewfoundlands 3, Great 

 Danes 8, Russian wolfhounds 1, foxhounds 8, deerhounds 6, 

 greyhounds 4, ijointer.s 48, English setters 21, Irish setters 47, 

 Gordon setters 23, Chesapeake Bay dogs 13, .spaniels 24, col- 

 lies 33, poodles 2. bulldogs '28, bull-terriers 11, Bassett hounds 



1, dachsbunde 10, beagles 47, fox-terriers 45, Irish terriers 5, 

 Skye terriers 3, Clydesdale terriers 2, black and tan terriers 



2, pugs 16, King Charles spaniels 1, Blenheim spaniels 1, 

 Italian greyhounds 3, Mexican hairless 1, miscellaneous 5; 

 total 503. As we .stated, in reviewing the prize list, there is 

 little doubt had the prizes been larger for the toys and small 

 terriers, a much larger entry would have been secured, the 

 black and tan men complaining somewhat on this score. 

 'The bench show committee has secured, for the convenience 

 of exhibitors who show at New York this week, tbe first 

 floor of the largest .storage warehouse in Baltimore, situated 

 within two blocks of the Fifth Regiment armory, where do^s 

 will be made perfectly comfortable until the opening of their 

 show. Attached to the warehouse is a large yard for exer- 

 cising the dogs. The committee will also provide anight 

 watchman who will remain on the premi.sesfrom 10 P. M. to 

 8 A. M. Dogs will be received after 10 A. M., Saturday, 2,8th 

 inst. 



The Mascoutah Kennel Club has issued its premium list' 

 for its third annual dog show at Chicago, III., April 8 to 11. 

 The show will be held in Battery D and Seventh Regiment 

 armory, and Spratts Co. will, as usual, bench and feed, and 

 Little's Soluble Phenyle will be used as a disinfectant. The 

 list of premiums, as might be expected, is a liberal one. In 

 the challenge classes for the most important breeds $20 and

As mentioned exclusively in FOREST AND SteeAsi laat 

 week, Mr. Diffenderffer has'ptirehased, according to reports, 

 one of the best bitches in England, Hepsey. She has cost 

 more than any St. Bernard bitch yet imported by something 

 like a thousand dollars. Mr. Diffenderffer sent his kennel- 

 man, Alfred Mash, over to England last Saturday on the 

 Etruria to bring the prize back with him. There is little 

 doubt but that this good bitch will materially add to the 

 strength of this Baltimorean's already good kennel of St, 

 Bernard bitches. She is by Rhoderick Dhu, who was 

 exported to Australia some time since. In the Derby show 

 (where Hepsey won) report, Stoc?c-Jtet'2Jcr, speaking of this 

 bitch, says: "Open bitches saw a new face of Mr. Smith's; 

 that is, a new old face, with the best head we have yet seen 

 in a bitch; she is really good in type and quality, and fair in 

 size for her sex, another 'lucky racket' for Mr. Smith." She 

 is to be served by Scottish Prince, who is spoken of in the 

 same report as the St. Bernard which will now assume Sir 

 Bedivere's mantle in England. Hepsey also won first and 

 two cups at Liverpool, the week after Derby. She will, we 

 are informed, go straight to Baltimore, Mr, Diffenderffer 

 is pursuing a good plan in filling his kennel with good 

 bitches and leaving the .stud dogs .severely alone. He thus 

 can take his pick of dogs and will therefore not be apt to 

 fall into the error of using one dog for any and all sorts of 

 bitches.
