A general exhibition will be held by the Toronto Kennel 

 Club, Feb. 5, in Richmond Hall, Toronto. The judges will 

 be Messrs. C. A. Stone, J. S. Williams and R, W. Boyle. At 

 the meeting of the club held last week two interesting 

 papers were read to the members, one on the St. Bernard by 

 Mi*. J. S. Williams aud another on Diseases of Dogs and 

 their Treatment, by Dr. F. A. Campbell. 



It is not generally known how seriously ill Mr. John A. 

 Logan, Jr., owner of the Oriole Kennels, has been. It 

 seems an ab-cess formed on his neck behind the ear, and at 

 one time the side of his face was paralyzed and he was not 

 expected to pull through. Now, we are glad to say, he is 

 convalescent. This reminds us that his dogs which have been 

 on sale privatelv for some time will be fiually disposed of at 

 the American Horse Exchange during the New lork show. 

 Fox-terrier men will be sorry to hear of Mr. Logan forsak- 

 ing the fancy and trust ifc will be only temporary, as these are 

 the men we want to keep in the ranks as long as possible. 



Next Monday, Feb. S, is the last day for making entries 

 for the W. K. C. show. Entries are coming in steadily all 

 the time, and this week will of course as usual be reserved 

 for the general influx. Those who wish to enter dogs from 

 up town can do so by procuring entry fnrms from Dr. 

 Glover, 1,293 Broadway, and W. Tallman, 109 West Thirty- 

 fourth street, New York city. The club has made the fol- 

 lowing additional classes: Challenge class for Bedlington 

 terriers and the same for Skye terriers. The challenge 

 black and tan terrier class has been divided by sex, and a 

 class made for Irish terrier puppies. The W.K. C. offers S25 

 cash for the best greyhound that has won a course at any 

 public meeting in America or Great Britain. Entries to be 

 made with and verified by Mr. H. W. Huntington, secretary 

 National Greyhound Club, on or before Feb- 8. No entry 

 fee will be charged. The Sportiru/ Times, New York, offers 

 $10 cash for the best black and white pointer dog, also $10 

 cash for the best black and white pointer bitch in the open 

 classes. 



When the Philadelphia Kennel Club resigned from the 

 A. K. C. a new kennel club was organized in that city to be 

 called the Keystone Kennel Club, with the ostensible pur- 

 pose of holding a dog show. It was to secure membership 

 in the A. K. C. aud then hold a show on the dates claimed 

 by the Philadelphia Kennel Club. Before arrangements 

 could be made, however, the Chesapeake Bay Dog Club 

 claimed the dates, and nothing further was* done, Now 

 that the Chesapeake Bay Dog Club have abandoned their 

 show, a meeting of the executive committee of the Key- 

 stone Club was called last Monday, with a view to author- 

 ize the officers to go on at once with their preparations 

 for a show, and it was decided to hold a show on March 

 1 to 4, We understand that the Philadelphia Tattersall s 

 building will be the place where the show will be held, 

 aud as there is ample room to hold a very large show 

 a first-class gathering of dogs may be expected. The idea 

 at present is to ask Mr. George Raper to be one of the 

 judges. If the club intends applying to the A. K. C. for 

 admission they must do so on or before Feb. 15, as after that 

 date their application cannot be passed upon till the May 

 meeting. The new club is in no way antagonistic to the 

 older club, but simply wishes to encourage kennel interests 

 by holding a show. Mr. James Watson, we believe, is one 

 of the promoters of the club. 



Mr. A. H. Moore is not backward in putting down his 

 money when he wants a good thing, and his purchase of 

 Worth, the brother to Sunol, the trotting record mare, is a 

 matter of interest to dogmen, Mr. Moore paid $14,500 for 

 the yearling colt. No man's name was more prominent in 

 kennel circles than Mi'. A. H. Moore's in the very early 80's, 

 when Berkeley and Thunder with Ben Lewis in tow did our 

 shows. 



After our return from Charleston, S. C, where champion 

 Laura B., the noted Irish setter, was shown by the Fountain 

 City Kennels, the proprietor of the Seminole Kennels wrote 

 us regarding her appearance. He now sends word he has 

 purchased her, and also champion Tim from Mr. Wenzel, 

 quite as noted a dog as Laura B. is among the opposite sex! 

 Cherokee, a litter brother to Duke Elcho, is another good 

 one just purchased to take care of the open class, and 

 Lenore, a daughter of champion Elcho, Jr., completes the 

 list which, as Dr. Sauvoeur modestly writes, "makes a ken- 

 nel with which we are in hopes of winning a few second 

 prizes at least," 



Competition in the Irish setter classes promises to be 

 keener than ever before, and a prominent Irish setter breeder 

 told us the other day that never before has he known the 

 Irishmen to be in such demand, and that he could sell forty 

 uups if be had them. The Irish setter trials are bearing 

 fruit from the first year's growth. 



Now that retrieving has been done away with in some of 

 the trials, there will perhaps before long be an opening for 

 the English retrievers, Mr. Davey, in a chatty letter such as 

 we like to receive from our fancier friends, tells us he is 

 importing a brace, of retrievers from England, together with 

 a brace of pointers. A year or two since Canada was of no 

 account in "pointerdom," but now, thanks to Mr. Davey, 



setters and pointers at Chicago and New York. 



The pointer Lad of Kent is by ch. Bracket out of Heine, 

 so we fail to see how his future winnings can rebound to the 

 credit of the W. K. C.'s King of Kent, as one of our "authori- 

 ties" would make it appear. 



Kennel stud cards are showered upon us just now, and 

 some are quite artistic, notably one from the Seminole Ken- 

 nels, which is very tastefully arranged round an almanac, 

 and another almanac from the Wyoming Kennels with 

 pretty pictures of Sir Bedivere, Plinlimmon, Jr., and Lady 

 Wellington. The Swiss Mountain Kennels has also a very 

 pretty one with pictures of King Regent and Ben Ormonde 

 on the covers. 



The following quotation is from a letter received from Mr. 

 Hagaus, presideut of the Mascoutah Kennel Club "Iain 

 pleased to acknowledge your favor of the 22d, together with 

 its inclosure and clippings from FOREST AND STREAM and 

 Fanciers' Journal. The suggestion therein is capital, and 

 I think you will be gratified to know that we have decided 

 to make a special ring for toy dogs. This ring will be 

 elevated and carpeted." Amove in the right direction and 

 one tllat will please the gentler sex, 



A notable sale has just been made in beagle circles. The 

 noted dog Frank Forest, that won the championship at the 

 beagle trials in 1890, has just been sold by the Forest Beagle 

 Kennels to Mr. W S. Gates, Chagrin Falls, Ohio, for the 

 unprecedented sum of $1,000. No doubt Frank Forest is a 

 valuable dog and a good one, but this price for a beagle has 

 never, to our knowledge, been approached, and both parties 

 must be congratulated. The National Beagle Club can stick 

 another well-earned feather in its cap. 



Mr. Kreuder has purchased a number of Belgiau hares 

 and, when in the natural order of events they have multi- 

 plied, they will in June next be turned down round Nauuet, 

 N. Y., in anticipation of the trials next fall. 



The annual meeting of the A. K. C. will be held in the 

 Madison Square Garden on Thursday, Feb. 25, at 2:30 P.M. 

 The regular quartevly meeting will be held immediately 

 after. 



The annual meeting of the Associate Members will be 

 held at the same place Weduesday, Feb. 24, at 8 P.M. 



The report of the Elmira dog show must go by the board 

 this week. Not arriving in time it is late news now, and 

 space is at a premium. 



Mr. T. M. Aldrich is located at Jamestown, N. C, in charge 

 of Mr. Durkee's dogs. He reports the worst winter he ever 

 experienced in that State, but at the time of writing the 

 thermometer stood at 70deg. in the shade. Birds are plenti- 

 ful, but wild, and turkeys are seen very often, though he has 

 not potted one as yet. 



We have received from Mr. Mercer a capital photograph 

 of two crack Clumbers, Lady Bromine and Lady Snow. 



Mr. E. B. Bishop seems to be comfortably settled out in 

 Kansas. He writes us he has all the shooting he wants, 

 within twenty miles, and "not a kick in the Territory if one 

 is social with the farmers. A cigar or a 'big horn' go a long 

 way." 



Mr. R. W. Isenthal, secretary of the Continental Kennel 

 Club, Denver, Col., informs us that they intend holding 

 their third annual dog show April 13 to 16, and are hard at 

 work on premium lists, etc. They expect this to be the 

 show west of Chicago, 



The pointer Sally Brass II.. that Mr. Chas. Heath sold to 

 Mr. Henry Huber, of San Francisco, some months since, 

 seems to have rendered a good account of herself in the new 

 country, winning second in the All- Aged Stake at the 

 Pacific coast trials. Lady Trippo, another Eastern dog, from 

 Canada, winning first money. 



At a meeting of the Pacific Coast Field Trials Club, on 

 Jan. 21, a proposition was received from the citzens of 

 Bakersfield to add .$250 next year to the purses and was ac- 

 cepted with thanks. The citizens will also trap 2,500 quail 

 and place them upon grounds near the city, on which trials 

 may be run, in order to avoid the long'journey of fifteen 

 miles to the grounds, as is now necessary in order to find 

 birds in sufficient numbers. This and the extra purse money 

 will have a beneficial effect on next year's trials. Alto- 

 gether they seem to take a great deal of en joyment out of 

 their trials there and look upon them as a diversion and not 

 the matter of fact business enterprises that our trials in the 

 East have become. The only interest that the tovvufolk of 

 High Point, or Lexington, N. C, take in the trials is that 

 evinced by the "floaters" of the town on a lookout for a 

 stray drink; the livery stable men and hotel keepers, who 

 make hay while the sun shines, and the constable on the 

 lookout for trespassers on the alleged sidewalks and the 

 half of the jj£3 fine which is imposed on the luckless rider. 

 These are trials with a vengeance. 



In anticipation of the published account of the Advisory 

 Committee meeting held at 44 Broadway, Jan. 18, we were 

 able to give exclusively several items of the business trans- 

 acted. Messrs. John S\ Wise, James L. Anthony and Thos. 

 H. Terry were present. Rc Eberhart's Cashier heing en- 

 tered in the challenge class at Lexington, Ky., before he 

 was entitled to the four wins, the committee orders the dog 

 not entitled to the challenge win at that show and it is can- 

 celled. Mr. Eberhart's action is reprehensible and not 

 cured by the fact that the dog afterward won the Drize at 

 another show his owner had claimed in advance. " As we 

 have before stated, Mr. Hawkes's disqualification was re- 

 moved, the action of the Rockford show people being re- 

 versed and annulled. Re sale of cocker spaniels. — Mr. Chas. 

 M. Nelles was disqualified for failing to deliver the dog to 

 Mr. E. A. Wilson after the purchase price had been paid or 

 to return said purchase money. As the judge gave no re- 

 serve number in the Irish setter award which was protested 

 at the Washington City Kennel Club's show, in March last, 

 the special cannot be awarded to any other kennel when the 

 original award was successfully protested. As no specific 

 date was given when the new amendments to the A. K. C- 

 rnles should go into effect it was decided that they should 

 begin with the New York dog show, Feb. 23. Appeal for 



support of Dr. Gibier's Pasteur Institute to be discussed at 

 the next meeting of the A. K. C. The request of the Cana- 

 dian Kennel Club that the World's Fair show rules be 

 changed to place the C. K. C. on the same footing as the A. 

 K. C. is considered a fair one and the committee recom- 

 mends the granting of the same. The committee is also of 

 opiuion that the rules of the A. K. C. should be the rules 

 to govern the World's Fair bench show. Dr. Perrv's letter 

 of declination has already been published, and the'commit- 

 tee regretted Dr. Perry's action. The question of establish- 

 ing dividing lines for different show circuits in the IT. S. 

 was held over for lurther consideration. 



A writer in a Louisville paper says: " There are a great- 

 many admirers of hunting dogs in Kentucky who would 

 like to see field trials given in this State. The Kentucky 

 sportsmen now have a chance of gaining that desired end*, 

 not by starting a new field trial club, but by merely secur- 

 ing suitable grounds and placing them at the disposal of an 

 established, and one of the largest field trial clubs in the 

 country. A sportsman of this town has received a com- 

 munication from the United States Field Trial Club, asking 

 if suitable grounds can be found and secured in this State 

 for holding its annual events, as it has about been decided 

 to give up the present grounds near Bicknell, Ind,, and 

 locate in some new place that is easy of access, has plenty 

 of birds, is comparatively level, with good cover and opjeu 

 so far as woodland is concerned. If good grounds can be 

 secured in Kentucky, the chances of getting the United 

 States Club to locate here are very favorable. An effort in 

 this direction will be made." 



We have received a letter from Mr. Frank F. Dole which 

 rather upsets the prevalent opinion as to who was respnosible 

 for the poor feeding, etc., at the late Albany dog show. 

 From Mr. Roekenstyre's letter to Mr. Dole, which by the 

 way should have been sent to us after our criticism appeared, 

 it seems Mr. Farley was paid to bench, feed and water the 

 dogs, and they were to be fed on Austin's dog biscuits and 

 meat, and as he remarks, "you can see for yourself how- 

 well he fulfilled his contract, and if you doubt my word I 

 can show you proof." Our only object in giving this pub 

 Itcity is to right a wrong, as we were led to believe that Mr. 

 Rockenstyre was to blame for it all; but this gentleman 

 should have written at once, and explained his position, as 

 he was the ostensible superintendent and manager. 



The secoud annual dinner of the American Spaniel Club 

 will be held at Morello's No. 4 West Twenty-uinth street, on 

 the evening of the second day of the dog show, Feb. 24, at S 

 o'clock. Tickets may be procured of A. Clinton Wilmerding 

 at S3 each. It is requested that applications for tickets he. 

 made at once so that proper arrangements may be made. 

 All friends of the spaniel are invited and a pleasant reunion 

 of breeders and exhibitors is anticipated. 



A new order has been issued by the Treasury Department 

 iu regard to importations of animals for breeding purposes. 

 On and after April 1, 1892, no animal which is brought into 

 the Lnited States from foreign countries for breeding pur- 

 poses shall be admitted free of duty unless the importer fur- 

 nishes a certificate which shall contain a pedigree show- 

 ing that all the ancestors have Men recorded in a, book of 

 record* established, for that breed for live generations on 

 the side of the sire and four on the side of the dam, to- 

 gether with the affidavit of the owner, agent or importer 

 that such animal is the identical animal described, etc. 

 Should the necessary papers not be at hand when the an i 

 mal arrives, but satisfactory evidence be produced that they 

 are entitled to free entry, a bond may be accepted for dWbiti 

 the value for the production of the proper certificates. This 

 will create consternation among dog importers if the letfe i 

 of the law is cari-ied out. At present it is simply necessity 

 that the dog itself should be registered.

 attendance is requested.

 home in Mr, James W, Whitney's kennels before long, as 

 we understand negotations are being carried on. This dog 

 won another first at Derby, England, a couple of weeks since. 



THAT IRONCLAD COURSING RULE. 



Editor Forest and Stream: 



Iu your issue of Jan. 14 the letter by Mr. L. I. Fowler 

 under the above caption about hits the nail on the head. 



Mr. Wade, in Forest and Stream of to-day, says "that 

 there is no shadow of authority in coursing rules for visit- 

 ing any penalty on the owner of a bound on account of the 

 contesting hound running into him." 



I would like to ask the Forest and Stream did not the 

 owner of Chicopee Lass ride over Pearl of Pekin when they 

 collidedl' Did not Pearl go lame:- 1 Are riders allowed to 

 ride ahead of the hounds by the rules of the American 

 Coursing Club? Is it not the custom in older clubs to give 

 the course to the hound so run into or ridden over?

I Prom a St«#' Correspondent.] 



/ 1 11 ICAGO. 111. , Jan 30— It is gratifying to learn from ad- 

 \J vices from Southern correspondents that the weather in 

 the South has become settled and pleasant, so that there is a 

 prospect that the weather conditions will be most favorable 

 for the Southern Field Trials Club's trials, which take place 

 at New Albany next Monday. 



The Mascoutah Kennel Club's entries closed on Jan. 23 

 with W53 entries, 128 more than those of last year. 



There are rumors iu the air that the Associate Members 

 will hold a most interesting meeting at the New York show 

 and bring forward some points of great interest to the body 

 to which they are appended. B. Waters. 



All communications must reach us by Tuesday 

 of the week they are to be published; and should 

 be sent as much earlier as may be convenient.
