THINGS AND MASTIFFS AT NEW YORK. 



Editor Forest and Stream: 



Toe hoivlsoE disapproval and the supererogatory rebuke 

 by the American Mastiff Club (which I hold to havn been lu 

 very bad taste) estop further comments on the most unfor- 

 tunate judging of mastiffs at New York show, but a few 

 cotutnenrs may be in order. Tnat ten munths puppy Ingle- 

 side Maximilian is both a parody and a wonder; we"hear of 

 mastiffs being "'too bully," but he is more "Dully" than any 

 bulldoja: in the show. A muzzle 3>/in. long, a skitll G^in. 

 long and SS^in. in girth, is enoueh to distance any bulldog 

 in America, dS fyr as ''bullyness" is concerned. His dewlap 

 is monstrous, equal to that of a cow, his body and forelegs 

 are very good, bar show a bit of shortness, while his hind- 

 legs do not figure as any dehnite quantity. By Ilford Chan- 

 cellor out of a Mintlus oitch. It is hard to see where he gets 

 such abnormal prou-rties from. 



While his preposterous exag iterations of mastiff type and 

 miserable hindquarters should keep him "out of it" as a 

 specimen, his real faults of headshoald make him a most 

 valuable stud dog, promising great results, bred to bitcnes 

 long in bead, lackiog volume of skull or snipy in muzzle, 

 but 1 should fear the results if bred to l)itches of the llfurd 

 Caution blood, or even those deep in Crown Prince blood. 

 The only well bred bitches 1 can think of likely to nick 

 "vvith bim are those of the Clement or Hero II. blood, or 

 from Dr. Perry's Juno. 



Iq this connection It may be well to point out that nearly 



all Ilford Caution's successes in the stud were with poor 

 itches, as I can now recall only the bitch Caution's Own 



bi 



Daughter (what a name!), exhibited at this same show. 

 This bitch suffers a trifle from ginaer face and some lack of 

 size, but for trtte tormntioa of head, excellence of body and 

 legs, beautiful movement and general symmetry, I have 

 never seen her superior. Cambrian Princess beats her in 

 volume of skull and size, hut loses to her iu formation of 

 head and general symmetry. It was only his greater size 

 and advantages from sex that put Beaufort much ahead of 

 her. 



Beaufort still stands unequalled, and I cannot see how he 

 is to be surpassed. How in the world was be ever said to 

 be extreme in shortness of face)' He is certainly very, very 

 far from long-faced, but is as certainly not extreme ini short- 

 ness. For elegance, length, hocks and general symmetry, 

 how is he to be improved oq ? Some say that Minting was'a 

 better dog; but Beaufort is decidedly the better in hocks, 

 his being broad and flat, while Min ting's were too round, 

 and Beaufort has better length. The only dog that I can 

 recall as being Beaufort's equal in properties of body and 

 legs was Mr, Mason's Salisbury, the latter being the larger 

 dog, but not as good in second tuighs. 1 see it stated that 

 Beaufort is ' weak behind," but this is utterly wrong. He 

 is not hog fat, with hams like those of bacon; nor should he 

 be, considering bis value in the stud: but his muscles of 

 loins and thighs are full and as hard as dried beef. That he 

 is as active as a cat without a trace of weakness 1 know 

 most positively, having the best of opportunities of seeing 

 this. 



While it should be very flattering to Mr. Winchell that a 

 dog of his breeding sbotild beat Beaufort, I looked in vain 

 for any sign of satisfaction in his looks and conversation. 

 We all owe thanks to Mr. Mortimer for the excellent qual- 

 ity of the helpers he lu'ovided. A neater, cleaner, more at- 

 tentive bony of men I have never seen in a dog show, and 

 following the suggestion of ottr old mutual friend Wash 

 Moore by uniforming the men resulted most satisfactorilj^. 

 I suggest that in future all judges of ladies' pet dogs at 

 New York show refuse 10 judge them unless their names 

 arewitbheld and their personality disguised. This is the 

 third ye^r in stxccession tnat judges of this class have been 

 insulted by irate women whose dogs did not win. Two 

 years since a feminine said to Mr, Fay, a gentleman in every 

 line, and who possesses more dollars than this person prob- 

 ably did cents, "We have decided you were paid for your 

 decisions and wish to know your prict!" Last year one told 

 Mr, Mayhew that Lfter exbibiting under an English judge 

 she hated the name of England or Englishman! And this 

 year some circulated a petition round the show, praying the 

 W, K, Go to forbid Mr. Maj'hew's ever jttdging again!!! 

 _How' ase women to get their dogs judged? Xttejp^ ii>|?<? 



nudge m their own sex, and where are they to find the man 

 who will accept a position that insures his receiving insults 

 from parties whose position protects them from proper and 

 ]ust rebuke? Do not women know that to be cowardly is 

 not to be womanly, and that nothing is "ladylike" that is 

 not "womanly?" w. Wade 



DOG CHAT. 



'It IS of no possible benefit either to the dog or the public! 

 The mad dog scare, which has been so long agitated, is a 

 rnyth and one calculated to do much injury by the produc- 

 tion of a false hydrophobia induced by fear. ' During my 

 long experience in canine practice I have never seen bu"t one 

 case of authenticated rabies. I have been called to see hun- 

 dreds of so-called mad dogs and found they were merely in 

 convulsions, afflicted by epilepsy, or suffering from an attack 

 of indigestion or from over excitement, all of which yield to 

 proper treatment. ' ' 



Toronto, Canada, is a veritable hotbed of the fancy, and it 

 has often been a subject for comment why this go-ahead 

 town has not, so far, indulged in a kennel club, especially 

 as they give the best show in Canada. Feeling the want of 

 an organization, several members of the fraternity called a 

 meeting for Thursday night, at the Rossin House, when a 

 club will be organized. Following the cottrse taken by the 

 Hamilton Club, they intend to inaugurate monthly mem- 

 bers' shows, where the owners of dogs can pick up points 

 from those calculated to instruct them on the subject. 



The English papers not yet having come to hand contain- 

 ing the particulars of the Waterloo Cup Meeting, we take the 

 following gossip from the Toronto Olohc: "The winners of 

 cup, purse and plate, Fullerton, Simonian and Rhymes, 

 were all by R. F. Gladstone's dog Greentick, and the owner 

 had the old dog on hand to witness tbe triumphs of his pro- 

 geny. The Northumbrian kennel of Col. North is now far 

 ahead of all compeers with its Waterloo record. It was first 

 and second with Miss Glendyne and Bit of Fashion in 1883, 

 then won with Miss Glendyne in 1886. It was again first and 

 second with Fullerton and Troughend in 1889, first with 

 Fullerton in 1890, and now again in 1891. A remarkable 

 circumstance in connection with this year's Waterloo is tbe 

 fact that all the final cjuartette in the cup, as well as the 

 winner of the purse, claim the Northumbrian bitch, Gallant 

 Foe, as their grand-dam or great-grand-dam. Bit of Fashion, 

 the dam of Fullerton and Smionian, was by Paris (daughter 

 of Gallant Foe). Faster and Faster is by Northern Express 

 (son of Prenez Garde, own sister to Parisi, and while But- 

 ton Park is by Jester, (Gallant Foe's son), Bovril is from 

 Jester's daughter, Eady -Jester. Ou the night of the draw 

 for tbe Waterloo cup. a well-known supporter of coursing 

 from Ireland took a double-event waser of £300 to £8 that 

 Fullerton and Simonian would not win both cup and purse. 

 This nice bet was ccmfortably landed," On perusing tbe 

 above, one is led naturally to the question as to whether 

 the National Greyhotind Club should be allowed to have a 

 stud bonk of its own and sti U retain its membership in the A. 

 K. (J. Greyhounds being used now so extensively in coursing 

 in this country and with every indication that the sport will 

 increase ni popularity, it is incumbent upon those having 

 the best interests of the sport at heart to in.sttre, by every 

 means in its power, the accuracy of the pedigrees, for upon 

 the correct interpretation of these blood lines rests, in a great 

 measure, the successful courser. As the A. K. C. cannot be 

 expected to give tbe subject more than general supervision, 

 we think that in this case an exception should be made with 

 the distinct understanding that it should not form a jirece- 

 dent for other specialty clubs. We do not think, and those 

 with whom we have conversed on the matter are of the same 

 opinion, that the A, K. C. stud book will lose any regis- 

 tration on account of the separate book, but keeping the 

 good will of the greyhound men will tend to increase 

 rather than diminish the registrations. 



The new Pennbrook hunt, from the Chestnut Hill Ken- 

 nels, seemed to be quite popular, the third meet of the 

 hounds last Saturday at Mr. Fell's residence having a 

 greater turnout of members than on the previous one. 



The Mayor of Newark, N. J., in view of the recent cases 

 of children having been bitten by worthless curs on the 

 streets, is advocating the establishment of a dorf pound and 

 the destiTtction of a few hundred of these roaming canines. 

 Several children are now under treatment by Dr. Gibier, 

 whose price, -SSO per patient, being too high for most of the 

 subjects to pay, t,he balance of the hydrophobia fund of 

 1887 has been turned over to the institution on condition that 

 he treat free for the next five years all indigent Newark 

 patients. 



We are sorry to hear that the Cincinnati Kennel Club is 

 not in the most flotirishing condition imaginable. It is .said 

 that out of fourteen letters opened by the secretary one day 

 last week, only two contained substantial evidence as to the 

 annual dues, while the other twelve were resignations of dis- 

 gruntled members. 



We are pleased to see that some one has some appreciation 

 of the merits of one of the gamiest and most companionable 

 terriers one can have— the Dandie Dinmont. The splendid 

 special offered by a friend of the breed at the coming Boston 

 show should bring together all the dogs of the breed in the 

 country. There is one good man in the breed already, Mr. 

 Carnochan, and we trust that others will follow suit. 



In coming to the Baltimore show last week, the Somerset 

 Kennels' challenge beagle bitch Cloud was so severely hurt 

 in her box that she could not be shown. 



When Plinlimmon was undergoing treatment for tumor 

 recently, Mr. Emmett was at a loss for a dog to take his 

 place. While in this quandary Mrs. H. C. Miner loaned him 

 her own St. Bernard, Pop. In appreciation of the courtesy, 

 Mr. Emmett presented Mrs. Miner the other day with a 

 superb whip mounted with a massive gold handle and 

 whistle, studded with jewels. 



A letter from one of the committee of the Maryland Ken- 

 nel Club informs us that the club came out a little on the 

 wrong side, btxt that they werp still in the running. In- 

 creased expenses and the wretched weather of the first day 

 is mainly accountable for any loss they may have incm-red, 

 During the last day of the show there was a'bit of a rumpus 

 on account of Mr. W. H. Child's attachment of the English 

 setter Sir Tatton and the Irish setter Desmond II. for a bill 

 of $150 on some dog deal with Mr. Weiss. Fred Klrby, who 

 had the dogs in charge, melodramatically proclaimed to the 

 sheriff, that if he took the dogs it would have to be over his 

 dead body. Mr, Weiss has his dogs, Mr. Child got his 

 money and Kirby is still alive, so everything is serene again. 



We regret to hear that the black and tan terrier The Sena- 

 tor is dead. He caught cold the first day at the Baltimore 

 show. The diagnosis was hardly correct, and our -suggestion 

 that it looked like a case of pneumonia and a mustard plas- 

 ter was not far wong after all. Dr. Foote is, indeed, most 

 unfortunate, and if he bad not the true fancier grit in him, 

 be would Qn<\ hia loses hard tn bear. He Ijas wr sincere 

 sympathy^ 



The Cleveland Kennel Club is making every effort to in- 

 sure the success of their coming show. Mr, H. W, Lacy has 

 been engaged to judge those classes not already annotinced 

 in the sporting papers. Proper arrangements with express 

 companies and railroads centering in Cleveland have been 

 made. The building will hold 600 dogs, so that following 

 Chicago, as it does, there is likely to he an excellent entry. 

 The premium list is now out and is quite a good one. Chal- 

 lenge prizes $10 for each sex are made for most breeds, and 

 in the important classes $1.5 and mO are the prizes given, the 

 others getting -SIO and .So. Spaniels have classiCcation No. 2 

 and the small breeds are well taken care of. Entriesclo.se 

 April 1, with Mr, C. M. Munhall, 111 Superior street, Cleve- 

 land, O. 



A rather amusing incident happened the third day of the 

 show at Baltimore. A fashionably dressed young lady ap- 

 peared before the doo keeper with a ribbon bedecked "sort 

 of" a Yorkshire in her arms On being told that dogs not 

 regularly entered could not be allowed in the building, she 

 made quite a scene, and Will Farber coming up at the time 

 politely told her he would have the dog put in a box till she 

 made the round of the show. This did not appease her, and 

 turning with tears in her eyes which friend Farber found 

 bard to withstand, said, "I did so want Dick to see the 

 dogs!" 



A new venture is on the tapis at Philadelphia. Folldwibg 



the style of Aldridge's in London, the Philadelphia Tatter- 

 sails intend holding periodical sales of dogs, the first of 

 which will take place Mairch 27, and entries for which will 

 close March 16. The sale is limited to thoroughbred dogs 

 only, and tbe number put up is not to exceed 200. Several 

 dogs which have been winning at late shows are already 

 entered. The dogs will be on exhibition March 24 till day 

 of sule, and the sale will take place in the afternoon and 

 evening of March 27 and 28, and catalogues will be ready ten 

 days before the sale. This is a venture which no doubt 

 many fanciers will avail themselves of, tboitgh we hardly 

 think there will be enough money in it for the sales to 

 become regular. 



Friend Jarrett, the genial manager of the Chestnut HUl 

 Kennels, seeks a relief from the lengthy heads he is so ac- 

 customed to see around him, and intends branching out a^ a 

 pug breeder. He has already purchased several bitches, 

 among them Cassina, quite a winner, from Dr. Cryer's 

 kennel. 



Tbe protest against the bull-terrier Ruby at New York, 

 for deafness, has been sttstained. 



At New York we were shown a medal which at a casual 

 glance one would take to be gold. It is jiresumed to repre- 

 sent the gold medal of the Ma.stiff Club, but it won't wash, 

 or rather it has been washed, and in a very careless manner. 

 It seems Lidy Co'eus became entitled to the gold medal of 

 the club, and after repeated application this medal was sent 

 to Mr. Moore. In the language of the Gordon men, it is rich 

 in tan, imt it goes no further than the surface, for on tbe 

 edge is the silver stamp mark and "sterling" in the custom- 

 ary form. Glancing sideways at the letteriug on the face of 

 the medal the "silver threads among the gold" are as plain 

 as the noonday sun. The question is, what are you going to 

 do about it The A. K. C. rule states that medals and so 

 forth shall be made of the materials called for. Some action 

 should certainly be taken in the matter, and the affair not 

 be smoothed over with hush! 



The Chestnut Hill Kennels want to swim with the tide of 

 popularity which St. Bernards are now enjoying, and reap 

 some of the "kudos" an investment in that breed is pretty 

 nearly sure to bring. Mr. Harrison, in other words, is buy- 

 ing a few St. Bernard bitches for breeding purposes. 



There was one happy woman at New York, Mrs. Nichol- 

 son, of Alb.tny, who brought seven St. Bernard puppies to 

 tbe show and sold every one of them at good prices. Now, 

 if Mr. NichoLsou had come down with them, very likely he 

 would have had to take them home again. 



Mr. W. Stewart Diffienderffer has sold his big St. Bernard 

 Lord Baltimore, by Burns out of Lady Valentine, to May 

 Howard, the v .riety actress. We hear his Lord.ship was to 

 make his debut on the b iards last Saturday evening in his 

 native town. What is that saying about a prophet in his 

 own country? However, we expect he will need an able 

 manager, for as a star he will necessarily feel the importance 

 of his position. 



Query— When is a foxhound said to have leather at throat? 



The registrations for January and February of this year in 

 the A. K. C. Stud Book number 735, against 354 for the cor- 

 responding months in 1890. Speaking of the stud book re- 

 minds us that the secretary has started on his two months' 

 furlough. He holds himself bound, however, not to go out- 

 side of reach of the telegraoh, as it is very likely that his 

 friend Peshall will demand his presence very shortly iU 

 Oyer and Terminer when the noted case comes off, 



During his visit to Baltimore Dr. "Beaumont" Meyer 

 gave two lectures on dentistry at the Baltimore College, and 

 though he had an innings at the Gordon Club specials at 

 the show, the faculty, to show their appreciation of bim, 

 presented him with a handsome silver cup as a token of the 

 esteem in which they hold him. Dr. Meyer, therefore, can- 

 not complain of the attentions he received at the hands of 

 the Baltimoreans, though they were a little mixed. 



We were pleased to see that our suggestion that when 

 charges are made against individuals before the Kennel 

 Club, they shall be accompanied by a fee of $10 as a guaran- 

 tee of good faith, has been adopted. This will, we trust, 

 have a salutary effect. 



We were exceedingly pleased to have a lady remark dur- 

 ing the Baltimore show that there was nothing in the pages 

 of the Forest and Stream but what a lady could read, and 

 that from reading it every week sbe felt just as much inter- 

 est in the dogs as her husband. This is praise indeed, and 

 repays us doubly for all our efforts to give to dogmen and 

 every one a clean paper. 



We welcome another young fancier into the fox-terrier 

 ranks. This is Mr. Harry Granger, owner of the Regent 

 Kennels. That he is getting hold of good material is proved 

 by his purchase last week of the well-known winner Dusky 

 Trap and Blemton Wrangle. We wish him every success, 



Frank Dole received a very good bull-terrier from Mr. 

 Fred Hinks of Birmingham, England, on Tuesday last. His 

 name is Top Sparkle, by Gully the Great. As the dog is 

 said to be a certain winner, the name is peculiarly appro- 

 Xiriate, 



The Maryland Kennel Club held its annual meeting at 

 the Fifth Regiment armory on Wednesday, March 4, at 8:30 

 P. M. In the absence of tbe vice president (the president, 

 Mr. Harry Malcolm, being under suspension at present) Dr. 

 B. Holly Smith was called to the chair, and Mr. Jas. E, 

 Wilkinson was requested to act as secretary. The roll call 

 was answered by a large majority of the members of the 

 club. J'ou? aew ia6mi>er8, Mes^, G-tte§b, Williams, Slyaj»
