FOREST AND STREAM. 



237 



a very poor lot came forward, and the jndc;e rightly with- 

 held the first and second prizes, giving thii'd to DuKe, who 

 has a head of the old type, too long, nicely formed ear, ex- 

 cellent eye, is coase in cnat and pasterns Vea1^. This dog 

 created additional interest in himself from the fact that 

 over his stall was a notice that he was kept free from fli'as 

 by the use of "Knock 'Km Stilf" soap. Numa Pompilius, 

 reserve, a great name but a poor mastiff. He has a poor 

 expression, a long mu7zle and light eye, carries bis ears 

 badly, his feet turn out a bit, and he is inclined to be 

 reached backed. Nicholas, he, has also a ''long head," ears 

 set on too high, has a fairly good front, is light in body and 

 a hit straight behind. The bitch class was^just as good as 

 the other was bad, and certainly no finer class of bitches 

 could be brought together just now. Cambrian Princess 

 was out of shape, heavy in whelp and thin. It was a qires- 

 tion of putting her down the list, as the .iudge could not 

 give her first, or sending her out without a roentinri; this the 

 judge had the kindness to do. The fair owner, however, 

 thought otherwise, and was unwise enough to create a scene. 

 Such practices are reprehensible in a man and much more 

 so in a woman, as the judge has no defense. For the win- 

 ner Mr. Moore picked out Caution's Own Daiighter, indors- 

 ing the Baltimore decision; Miss Caution coming next, 

 owned by the same kennel, third going to Madge Minting, 

 who has'a fairly well shaped head, ears faulty, is full in eye, 

 feet too long .and open, nice body, and is" good behind, 

 though a bit light in bone. Lady Beatiiee, vhc, is small, 

 knuckles over in front, not enough breadth of skull, is well- 

 ribbed, but is in poor condition: just off a little, we were 

 told. Ingleside Cambrian Princess, faulty in muzzle, ears 

 not right and hiudlegs could be better. In puppies, Mon- 

 adnock, a bit dish-faced and round in skull, too round in 

 barrel and not depth enough, faulty in quarters and tail, 

 came in for first, with Beaufort, Jr., second, This dog we 

 did not see. Ingleside Princess took the reserve card, and 

 Dake II., faulty in head and front, vhc. 



ST. BERKARDS— (H. W. LACY). 



Grim death had been busy in the St, Bernard ranks and of 

 all the bright array of these dogs seen at New York, six 

 weeks since, very few were on hand. Two of the best, Ben 

 Lomond and Alton, have passed over and Sir Bedivere and 

 Hesper were on the sick list. On the other hand, it was a 

 pleasure to see the frisky condition in which the Lady Liv- 

 ingston and Sneefweil was in, also Miranda, who, though 

 losing flesh, stands it well. The challenge dogs were absent, 

 one dead the other sick. lu the bitch division Lad.y Liv- 

 ingston beat Manon nicely in size, bone and length, Miranda 

 getting the reserve, Lady Wellington absent. In open dogs, 

 Alton having died left Lord Melrose to do the honors of the 

 kennel, this he did well, for he was looking much bptter 

 than at New York. Scotch Bouivard, se<'ond, has a nice ex- 

 prc'ssion and markings, muzzle would do with more depth, 

 eyes be darker, chest wider, rather poor in flesh, nice coat 

 and good bone. White Chief, third, is a well-boned active 

 dog, coat needs attention, has good volume of skuH, a 

 rather blunt plain muzzle but good depth, his light bulgv 

 eyes and too much hair spoil his expression altogether, ears 

 could also be carried better. Bruce, reserve, has a curly 

 ccmt, is a bit houndy in head but of good depth, has ex- 

 cenent bone but is inclined to be straight in stifles. Hesper, 

 Jr. is a bit plain-faced, muzzle snipy, nice skull, not enough 

 blaze, a bit stout in body but a good mover. In bitches 

 Lady Livingston's promotion to thechallegne class let Lady 

 Sneerwell in for first, followed by the nice quality bitch 

 Melrose Plinella, whose only fault "is a hardly deep enough 

 muzzle and a badly carried tail, carried on the back like a 

 watch spring. Ellen Terry, third, though faulty in head- 

 long and not enough stop — still her good legs, bone, body 

 and coat served to put her over Moore's Lady Melrose, re"- 

 serve, who though better considerably in shape of head 

 loses in front, hindlegs and body. Princess Saffron, vhc, is 

 small, lacks bone, is a bit we~ak in pasterns, not enough 

 skull, is a trifle dish- faced, but has a nice look of quality, 

 being nicely marked. Gundred, he, who has a fair head, 

 though a bit long-faced and flat, was shown lame or would 

 have got another letter. In puppies first went to the li<rht- 

 colored Mount Zion Guy, the second winner at New York 

 and improving, he was an easy first, followed by Countess 

 Bedivere, whothouah plain and long-faced has an excellent 

 body and bone, is almost white in body color. Rex Boni- 

 var," third, has a fine head but loses in bone and straight- 

 ness of front. Prince Draco, vhc, has a light shelly body as 

 yet, feet turn out, pasterns being weak, muzzle long "and 

 light and big in ear. Noble, vhc.,' is not ribbed up enough, 

 dips behind the shoulder, coat is a bit curly, has a fair head, 

 is straight behind but possesses good bone. 



In smooths, some very fine stock was shown. The well 

 known Beauchamp was the only entry in his challengeclass. 

 So was Cleoparra in hers. Both looked well. In open dogs 

 a good one in Belisarius was shown. He has an excellent 

 head, splendid front, well boned, but is hardly ribbed enough 

 but depth of body good, excellent action; his color, his 

 worst fault, a light brindle, but well marked. Duke of 

 Snarta, he of the honndy h^ad but excellent body ajid leg?, 

 came next, with Viscou'nt Ebrington, very nice in front but 

 a trifle cowhocked and weak behind, second. Patrol, third 

 in novice class at New York, vhc He lacks markings and 

 is faulty behind. la bitches, that sweet-headed and full-of- 

 quality bitch Empress oi Contoocf^ok was a good winner 

 over Burton Belle, as at New York, where both were 

 described. Mr. Green was so pleased with this bitch that he 

 did himself the pleasure to take her in the ring when shown 

 against Cleopatr.i for the special. Nora, third, was the 

 puppy and novice class winner at New York. She is long 

 in muzzlp, shows a little too much coat, h.ns excellent limbs, 

 but is a bit flat ribbed. Nun Nicer, vhc, is small. In pup- 

 pies. Viscount Ebrington won nicely over Nora. Fannv. 

 vhc. is narrow in head, muzzle not deep enough and bone 

 too light, ears too large, tail faultily canned, but has nice 

 body and limbs. Belmont III., he, I did not find in his 

 stall. An excellent dog on the bench was Keeper of Contoo- 

 cook, seemingly a very good specimen of the smooth order, 

 one that would give the best some fun. Why he was not 

 shown is a mystery. 



GREAT DAKES— (H. W. LACY). 



These classes were poorly filled, the New York winners, 

 Pascha and Nero, being the best in dogs, vhc. going to 

 Roland If., a harlequin, light in bone and snipy-muzzled. 

 In bitches Flora Florida won again over Flora;" these two 

 have been repeatedly described, and Fitz, vhc, is too 

 cloddy and short-headed. 



DEERHOUI^DS— fH. W. LACY). 



Qrute a nice display. In the bitch challenge class I 

 thought Rainona beat Wanda in head, coat, front, bone and 

 hind parts. Ol.ga loses behind. In open dogs a rattling 

 class showed up and first went to the despised dog at Lynn, 

 which I found to be one of the best legged ones yet seen, ex- 

 cellent head, shoulders and quarters, might be a bit better 

 in ribs and depth of body. Douglas loses in hocks. Allen 

 Breek, reserve, has been described: beats Warrior iu head 

 and front. Duncan, he, loses in bone and head. In bitches 

 Hiked the light-colored one, Sylvia, better than her kennel 

 mate, Ruth; has a better front, head, quarters and hindlegs. 

 Loma Secunda, vhc, is well known, loses in bone and head 

 to the others. A promising pup. Hillside Robber, built 

 much after the style of Hillside Harold, was alone in the 

 puppy class. 



GREYHOITNDS— (H. W. LACY). 

 Gem of the Season and Maud Torrington met iu the chal- 

 lenge class, the dog's better hind parts and ribs placed him 

 in front. In open dogs Charles Davis scored his first win of 



the circuit, his old antagonist being out of the way, the 

 ruther plain, soft-looking Scudding Cloud, handled by an 

 old exhibitor, Mr. H. W. Smith, whom we were pleased to 

 see still knew how to "set" them, came next, he has a nice 

 head and i-ibs, might be better in loin but boasts a good set 

 of legs. Glaucus, vhc, loses in bone, head, ribs and hind 

 muscling to him. Demon, he, is too coarse and loosely put 

 together, and long in couplings. Imperator by some mis- 

 take was either not iu the ring or was sent out by mistake 

 by the steward, as when I came round to take notes I found 

 a" fine hound but no mention card up, though too short in 

 body his fine front-, nice head, neck, ribs, quarters and 

 general look of quality entitled him to he, at least, though 

 he was shown otit of shape. In bitches Lady Clare, a 

 stronger built bitch than Spinaway, who loses in'ribs, quar- 

 ters and head to the former, was placed first and the latter 

 a good second, she is hardly in .good shape yet. Spice, vhc, 

 loses in ribs and body and is not let down enough iu stifles, 

 nice head and ears. A nice lot of quality was apparent in 

 these classes. 



BEAGLES— (W. STE"5VAPvT DIFFENDEKFFER). 

 As predicted, the show of beagles in this hotbed of the 

 fancy was excellent, for like their ancestors of old in their 

 fight for independence, they were bound to show that they 

 were justified in having some say in loersonal matters. The 

 judge had no easy task, and all things considered, got 

 through his work very creditably. A word may here be 

 said about measuring." That an injustice was don'e one dog, 

 Clyde, I am pretty sure, a.s the cross bar was used upside 

 down, which made a difference of nearly half an inch, and 

 as the dog was only just over the twelve inch, the half inch 

 was an important item, and when the mistake was found 

 out the class should have been rejudged, but the judge had 

 gone home. Frank Forest again succeeded in downing 

 Little Duke, it's a mere matter of opinion. Fitzhugh Lee 

 was shown too fat. In open dogs a pretty sight was formed 

 in the ring, and a new aspirant came forward in Brittle, a 

 nicely formed little fellow, cobby, good coat and front, eye 

 a bit prominent, and hardlv clean enough in throat, excel- 

 lent movement. Tony Weller, well-known, came next; 

 loses in front and head to the other. The Rambler, winner 

 at Lynn, took third; he is not so good in front, and skull 

 and muzzle are both faulty, but he is a nice shaped little 

 dog of true beagle type. Don, vhc. , was the winner at Pitts- 

 burgh, and described then. About twenty bitches dashed 

 into the ring in the next class and gave the gentleman from 

 Baltimore sompthing to think about, and in placing the 

 winner he was not far wrong, though I must deprecate the 

 practice of giving every dog in the class a mention however 

 good they may be as a whole, as it detracts from the merit 

 and honor such letters should convey. Mr. Dift'enderffer 

 evidently has a kind heart, so we will do our best to foi'give 

 him this time, but I am afraid other reporters will not as it 

 incre.ises their labors more than double. Topsy S. was again 

 picKed out the winner; she was spoken of in Lynn report, 

 where she won; her coat is soft, but hor understandings are 

 good. Second went to Countess .Juno, who carries a little 

 too much bone, but legs and feet are of the best: muzzle is a 

 bit lon.g, is not clean enou,gh in shoulder and neck, nice skull, 

 ear and action, a rather coarse little bitch but ot good type. 

 Reserve went to Twint wo, who.se excellent legs" and body 

 can hardly offset her lengthy head and longish model when 

 alongside' those of better type. Among the vhc. division, 

 which numbered six. Lonesome is a fairish bitch, faulty in 

 head and front; Glenrose Topsy has been described; Dixie I. 

 is a little on the large size, too straight-faced, a bit coarse, 

 and is wide in front, good action and carriage of stern; 

 Fanny is a bit coai-se in head, stands wide in front, ears not 

 right, excellent hone and action; Oakview Juliet is a bit 

 pinched in muzzle, coarse in ear and hardly true in front, a 

 nicely-put-together bitch with good expression andcaiTiage. 

 In the he lot came Gypsey Forest, too prominent in eye and 

 brow, not depth of chest, fair coat; Mollie, out at elbow, too 

 foxhoundy a head, good loin and coat; June Rose, faulty in 

 face, fair front, soft in coat; Forest Queen, long in head, ears 

 too oloodhoTudy, poor feet, is nicely ribbed, soft in coat and 

 a bit too straight behind; while a beagle should not be let 

 down like a grevhound, still there is a happy medium; Bess 

 K. is large, weak in pasterns, has a good coat, is too long in 

 head, but gets along in good style. In under 13in., first 

 went to Btssie, a moreeobbily built one than Bannerqueeu, 

 but loses in bone, coat, muzzle, and type of head to the 

 latter. Cappie. vhc., and Dixie II. are just apologies for 

 beagles, there is nothing to them, and though they may 

 make excellent carriage pets I like a beagle that take's some 

 following. These sort would do for Hyanuis, wher? the 

 going is necessarily slow. In dog puppies, Forest Prince 

 proved the winner over King Kel. who we rather thought 

 the better, his feet turn out a bit, muzzle could be better, 

 has a good co.it and f ^ir ribs, good bone, but not so good in 

 head as the winner. Little Rock is poor, light-boned and 

 sharp-faced. In bitches, Daisy IL, first. I could not find, 

 and Fannv Lee is a bit long-faced, has a nice front, coat soft 

 yet, ears nicely formed. Altogether this was the finest dis- 

 play of beagles ever seen together in this country, and shows 

 conclusively that the N. B. C. is now a club that can make 

 its voice heard in any premium list, for their list of specials 

 overtopped those of any other breed. 



FOXHOUNDS— (JOHN DAVIDSON). 

 These dogs showed up well too, but type was very diversi- 

 fied. Before another season comes round it would pay 

 some one to impoi^t say two couples of English houna.s — 

 good ones, something that will give people an id^a of the 

 type, and when showing for a kennel prize make a good sort 

 of appearance, in open dogs the winner was Waltham 

 Jevvel, a bit long cast, nice legs and feet, but not depth 

 enough of chest, dog more on the American type. Deacon 

 was at Lynn last week, and Andy S., vhc, "bad the best 

 head in the class, coat too S'jft, though fair legs and feet. 

 Prince, he, good body, legs and feet, and should have been 

 higher up; head a bit coarse but of good shape. Hunter B. 

 is loaded in shoulders and very throaty, is weak in pasterns 

 and coat too soft, but has a good body. In bitches Bess has 

 a good front, a soft coat; in fact many of tuese hounds lack 

 the hard, wet-resisting coats that these dogs should have; 

 the texture of a hound or beagle coat is distinct from any 

 other. Nell, set'ond. is faulty in front, but has a nicely 

 formed body. Dixie is pinched in muzzle and none too true 

 in front. 



POODLES— (H. W. LACY). 



In the absence of Dexter, Bsx-ri had a look iu for first 

 which he won hands down, followed by Nell, who though 

 small is of good type; they are both old winners: both of the 

 coats could be improved in texture. Mont?, reserve, is of 

 nice form but faulty in skull and coat too woolly. Aida, 

 vhc, loses iu loin an"d coat. 



BULLDOGS— (,JOHN E. THAYER). 

 After the enterprise shown by the Bulldog Club at New 

 York and Baltimore I think it was very bad taste to sa}'' the 

 least, to boycott this show on account of a breed which, 

 while it may usurp some of the rights of the bulldog, is not 

 likely to make much progress outside of Massachusetts; 

 and the W. K. C. have just as much right to make a class 

 for this breed as any other club has to give specials to the 

 best liver dog with yellow eyes, owned in such and such a 

 town. Mr. Tluiyer, as the pi"oneer of good bulldogs showing 

 in this country and a prominent member of the club, cer- 

 tainly deserved better treatment, and theiraction is u blotch 

 on the bright escutcheon of thi-s club. Iu the challenge 

 class Harper was the winner and alone. Iu open dogs the 

 plain-faced, but good-skulled Carisbrooke was returned the 

 winner over Ziz, who, while he has a nice head and wrinkle. 



is not out enough at shoulder, fair body. Jack Horner, 

 third, is only a fair one, not out enough in front. In bitches 

 The Graven Image scored an easy win over Psyche, who 

 losses to her in jowls, skull and front. Puppies were ab- 

 sent. 



BULL- TERRIERS— (R. F. MAYHEW). 



An excellent gathering. That good bitch Attraction had 

 little difficulty in disposing of Jubilee, whom she beat in 

 head and front. In dogs, Prince Bendigo. a bit out in front 

 and inclined to be cheeky, was the winner, with Dick Whit- 

 tingtoh, whom I prefer in head, second; Dufferin, a short 

 faced dog and none too good in front, getting reserve. King 

 of Hearts, faulty in head and not true in front, vhc. Top- 

 sparkle, a bit spiky in muzzle but truer in front and body 

 than either of the last two, he Greenhill General is a bit 

 cheeky and open in feet, but his excellent limbs, body and 

 ciuality .should put him higher. In bitches. My Queen had 

 to give way to that good bitch White Violet, who, though 

 undershot a trifle, beats the other in muzzle aud body, 

 shorter. Countess Nell must have been put back on sccount 

 of being undershot, The smart Little Donovan beat Stan- 

 ley Bill again in puppies, with Stanley Belle reserve. These 

 were all described at Lynn. An excellent show of round 

 heads was on hand, and now that a club has been formed 

 and a standard is to be formulated, they will very likely re- 

 ceive recognition and become a recognized breed, though I 

 think their encouragement is more likely to hurt the bull- 

 terrier fancy than the bulldog. 



DANDIE DINMONT.S— (H. W. LACY). 



First went to Laddie, who is better in head, length of jaw 

 and body than Solway Queen, both are wroug in front, too 

 dachshundy, and Gypp V. is snipy muzzled, weak in loin 

 aud wretched behind, hocks fairly knuckle in. The owner 

 of these do,gs, Mr. Brooks, has commissioned Frank Dole to 

 get him a pair of good ones in England, so this hreed may- 

 look up yet. 



IRISH TERRIERS— (H. AV. LACY). 

 Breda Bill had the challenge class to himself and Mars 

 had little difficulty in accounting for Shaun Boy, who is a 

 bit coarse, too wide in front, has a fair coat. 'In bitches 

 Dunraurrey beats Nora S. in head, Nora's coat has still that 

 very wiry feel about it, but I could And no evidence of arti- 

 ficial hardness so let it go again; if I had the touch of a 

 Helen Keller I might know more. Nancy II., large, falls 

 away in muzzle, head thick and short, coat good, a little 

 cloddy throughoiit. In puppies Breda Choice, a bit too big 

 but of fair type, won over Mickey Free, who loses in head 

 and front. 



Black and tans will be reported by Mr. Mason at my re- 

 quest. In looking them over again on a clean board 'floor 

 and in good li.ght f preferred Prince Regent to Salisbury, 

 though as they were shown in the ring Salisbury was tnier 

 in front. 



Sir Stafford was the only Skye and looked himself, as 

 usual. 



YORKSHIRES— (H. W. LACY). 



Toon's Royal, looking in good coat, was alone in the dog 

 class, and Wad ford Leah, with her better tan, only just 

 beats Venus, whose cloudy head coloring was against her, 

 though she is more even in head color than the other, 

 though too dark. This decision of course may be reversed, 

 but there is room for difference of opinion, but as the rich, 

 clear tan on the head is, I think, more difficult of attain- 

 ment than the body color I gave more importance to it in 

 this case. Fish pool Gem won in the small class. 



PUGS— (H. W. LACY). 



These were poorly represented, Vesta being the onl}^ good 

 one, and she easily accounted for Nellie Bly, who is shown 

 now in better shape. In dogs Prince II., wretchedly longin 

 muzzle, but so much better in ear, front, body and curl than 

 the next, Fritz Emmett, that he got the ribbon. Budge, 

 better in type of head than the others, but too fat and large, 

 took vhc in bitches Cassina had little difSculty in dispos- 

 ing of Nellie M., whom she be its in skull, muzzle, ear and 

 general carriage, though she has a black face. 



TOY SPANIELS— (H. W. LACY). 



In the challenge class Nanki Poo, a well known Jap, was 

 the only contestant, Exeter Beauty being absent. Iu King 

 Charles spaniels the prizes were withheld, Don Pedro, who 

 had a fair skull, bat a muzzle one could lean upon, was 

 given c. In a mixed class Chiug II, , a nice little Jap. a bit 

 long-faced, scored easily over the Ruby, Victoria, who beats 

 Rebie in skull, muzzle and body. Several schipperkes were 

 shown and I placed them as near to the standard as I eotdd, 

 never having seen an acknotvl dged good one. In the mis- 

 cellaneous cla-ss for heavy weights I tried for the Airedale, 

 but as Mr. Watson pulled him to pieces till there was little 

 left of him, I concluded I knew uothmg about them, and so 

 looked round for a familiar race, aud spying old Bertrand, 

 the basset, plumped for him aud gave what i pre.sumed was 

 a Mexican hairless second prize, but I was afterward in- 



I formed that it was a Japanese hairless, the distinction in 

 favor of the Jap being nine hairs on his forehead. I was 



, very pleased to hear that, especially as the weather looked 

 threatening. Vhc went to the Airedale Ajax. wno is not 

 good iutront and muzzle too weak and is short-faced. In 

 small ones Topsey, a nice M:dtese, won, a poorish Bedlrng- 

 ton took second and the Boston show was again counted 

 among the events of the oast. 



[Mr. Mason's criticism of the collie and black aud tan ter- 

 rier classes will appear next week ]

A GOOD BEAGLE.— Barton, Yt.— Editor Forest and 

 Stream: I wish to ask the boys through the Forest and 



I SxREAyi who owns a better beagle bitch than my old Skip 

 (A.K.R. 1067)? Skip is eight years old, has had 73 pups and 

 raised 61 of them, and has just whelped six. Skip stands 

 13>.^in., chest measure 24J'^in., weighs 27lbs , and can ran to- 



'■ day as many hours as the best of them, Skip is the dam of 

 Frank Forrest, Chapman's Tone, Proctor's Skippy and lots 

 of other good ones we have up here, Skip has never been 

 shown, but was pronounced by a good judge a prize winner 

 sure.— Geo. F. Reed.
