FOREST AND STREAM. 



[Feb. 18, 1892, 



Hibernia, hardly looking so well as at Albany, took three 

 letters. Mascot Floss is common in head, lacks markings— 

 a very lucky bitch. Merchant Princess was in bad shape 

 and is too long in head. Others call for no particular 

 mention. In rotigb pups Lord of Richmond was counted 

 the best, but I failed to see him. Mike Norkett I liked: 

 good head, coat and bone. Fern wood Victor loses in head. 

 Saladio, reserve, is dish-faced and light-eyed. Melrose 

 Pinto, vhc., is long-beaded, but has good size. The winner 

 in bitches was Thebau, a daughter of champion Gemma; 

 she had beeu taken out under the rules. Erne of Lemont, 

 second, has a bad, dotny skull, but is good otherwise: 

 Christmas Eve has a much better head. Lady Burghley is 

 faulty in head and forelegs. Cloven, he. is young but 

 promising. Beausire won well in novices with something 

 to spare. The others followed open wins chiefly. 



There was an excellent show of smooths, and they kept 

 truer to type than the roughs. Lord Hector felt happv that 

 champion Victor Joseph, his kennel mate now, was absent, 

 and thus be won his first challenge prize. Tfce grand bitch 

 Empress of Contoocook curled her apology for a tail when 

 she walked out with the order of merit over poor old Thisbe. 

 who still welcomes her old friends with a look of pleasure 

 which her intense quality adds so much to. That, good dog 

 Mascot Royal in open dogs won well over Ben L., who has 

 not enough stop, rather too much coat, but good elsewhere. 

 Ibo II. has a bad head; St. Michael, fourth, has a sour head, 

 but good bone: Max Piccolomiui has a plain, long head; Vic- 

 toris weak-faced. Fernwood Goldy was gone when I reached 

 her stall: Mascot Nellie, second, "is houndy-headed: Lady 

 Gladstone has no shadings, therefore plain; Dell, fourth, 

 was invisible; Wabash Myrtle has a poor bead. The best in 

 puppies was Rex Watch, a son of the old dog out of Sun- 

 rise, and is an undeveloped likeness of him, barring his 

 bead, which is altogether much poorer, too long and not 

 deep enough in muzzle; but will no doubt improve yet. 

 Lord Milton, an Alton pup, took second: nice expression, 

 faulty in body. Sir Michael II. carries his ears too high. 

 Mony. Jarvis is a dog of Dice type and might have done 

 better. Globe, fourth, has a long, narrow head, and shows 

 already too much haw. Bellegarde, from the Duchess Ken- 

 nels, won in bitch pup = ; she has a bloodhoundy head, bad 

 ringtail, and Mascot Nellie is also faulty in head, but not 

 so bad as the other though. The novice awards followed 

 the open classes. Rex Watch, Lord Milton aDd Ibo II. being 

 the order. St. Bernard breeders should be pleased to see the 

 good showing of smooths out at the show; keep the smooths 

 intact and breeders will never lose sight of type. 



Bloodhounds were represented by two good ones', the 

 well-known Jack Shepherd, excellent in head, peak and 

 wrinkle, won in dogs, Burniston being withdrawn. In 

 bitches Pembroke Star, hardly straight in front, nice 

 wrinkle, peak a.nd leather, was alone. 



Neweoundlanps.— The only two deserving of proper 

 recognition were Prince Hal and New York Lass; the dog 

 won but was not in good shape; had a nasty sore on his 

 back. Lass's head has filled out a little, still her coat and 

 body is the best part of her. Rock, third, is curly-coated. 



Russian Wolfhounds, as named in the catalogue, turned 

 up in greater force than heretofore, and the show was not- 

 able for the appearance of a hitherto dark horse, the Sea- 

 croft Kennels' Leekhoi. It will be remembered that Forest 

 and Stream gave exclusively the news that Mr. Hanks was 

 in Russia on a visit to relatives, and bad succumbed to the 

 ''Borzie' 7 fever. Leekhoi was an easy winner, and is cer- 

 tainly the grandest specimen I have yet seen; on accepted 

 principles little fault can be found with him, his head must 

 be nearly perfect, according to the standard, of immense 

 length, is beautifully fronted, none of that extreme heavi- 

 ness at shoulder, and his forelegs are as true and straight 

 as a greyhound's, with feet compact and well formed, im- 

 mense depth of chest and ribs sufficiently sprung, nice arch 

 of loin, quarters droop considerably, and hindlegs of that 

 peculiar formation known to this breed. He was shown 

 thin and will be much improved with more flesh. The 

 second prize winner, Osmaday, loses in head, depth of loin 

 and in ribs, and his pasterns are not so good. Oridaff, in 

 the catalogue, was really the well-known Zloeem shown in 

 his stead, but quite openly and above board, but wrongly 

 all the same, being out at elbows and his indifferent feet 

 put him out. Flodeyka, first in bitches, is flat-ribbed, and 

 her head is not so good, following Leekhoi's type. Svodka 

 has a better head, but is not so good in feet or front and 

 depth of chest. Zanoza is weak in muzzle, and loses to the 

 others in front. Viola runs her close. 



Deerbodnds, — A good show of these grand dogs, Eastern 

 men being well represented. Robber Chieftain and Clans- 

 man fought their battle again and fell in the order named, 

 in dog challenge class. In bitches, Wanda was placed over 

 Theodora. Olga, not in as good shape as I have seen her, 

 got reserve. Thora II. is too small. In open dogs, Hillside 

 Warrior, better in head, won over a good stamp in Alan 

 Breck, both well known, and Duncan, another familiar one, 

 came in third. Alpin. reserve, losesiu head and loin Clay- 

 more, out of coat, loses in loins and ribs. In bitches, Romola 

 and Ruth were properly placed and were the only two entries 

 Greyhounds. — A good lot of dogs met Mr. Williams on 



muzzle, expression faulty, only fair front; Amazement 

 should have changed places, better in head and front; Wood- 

 land Susie is a bit straight-faced: Eve took only vhc. tbis 

 time, and Lady Fidget is too wide in front. Any other 

 color, dogs— Red Rowland has a dachshund front, but. a 

 rather good head; Little Ben IE. is rather long, too much 

 cut out before eye, and feet turn out. Jessie C. won in 

 bitches, but class was poor. These dogs were very much 

 mixed m benching, many being allowed to bench in kennels, 

 and their positions were changed several times. 



Collies.— An excellent gathering and Mr. Long had con- 

 siderable difficulty in picking the winners in such small 

 space. Roslyn Wilkes in his present good shape and coat 

 had no difficulty in beating Maney Trefoil, whose coat was 

 better than I have seen it for some time, but he loses to the 

 other in body and head. Roslyn Wilkes afterward beat 

 Christopher for the special. Id challenge bitches Roslyn 

 came well to the front over Metcbley Surprise for her new 

 owner, beating in head and coat and general build, though 

 lucky for both Flurry III. onlv competed for specials. Cora 

 II. was out of this company. Sir Walter Scott this time 

 beat Metcbley Wonder II. and certainly be is an improving 

 dog. but his lively tail spoils his looks somewhat. Moray is 

 a little too strong in head and stands out a bit at times. 

 Roslyn Conway and Tory are well known, the former getting 

 hiscoatagain. Metcbley Wonder, Jr., is coarse in head. Dub- 

 lin Scotilla is short faced. The winner in bitches, Daylight, 

 has a good shaped head marred by washy tan markings, 

 dense in coat, making her look a bit cloddy. Heather Twig- 

 shows more quality, is a little full in skull, nice coat but 

 soft in texture. Jakyr Dean is well known. Bernice, re- 

 serve, has a common head, no undercoat and shelly in body. 

 Some nice puppies were shown, Strathern winning in dogs, 

 good coat, good length of head though a little doniy"~in 

 skull yet. Mistletoe, the winner in bitches, I could not find, 

 but she was termed a nicely made one with good coat and 

 length of head, ears well up aud good on legs. Novice wins 

 followed the puppy wins chiefly, but space forbids going 

 over every entry. 



Poodles.— Dexter alone in challenge, getting his coat 

 everyday. In dogs Sidi beats Parisian iu coat, head and 

 loin. The bitches w T ere poor. 



Bulldogs.— The West can now make Eastern exhibitors 

 pull themselves together, and it is likely many future prizes 

 and cups will find their way Chicago wards. 'Bo'swain bad 

 the challenge dog class to himself, and Graven Image's better 

 head and shoulders beat Duchess of Parma. In dogs, the 

 new one, King Lud, beats African Monarch in skull, lay back 

 and cushion, has nice body and bulldog action. Little 

 Monarch not in it. Peckham'Lass, the new bitch, beat Lady 

 Nan in front, otherwise the latter is nicely made. Nobby 

 Twist's head, in puppies, is spoilt by big aud falling ears, 

 otherwise he is promising, and an American bred one too. 

 The Woodward and Mariner Kennels should have won the 

 special for the best kennel of non-sporting dogs; they have 

 got together a grand collection for tbis country. 



B u ll-Tere i hps.— A capital lot and Mr.Goodmau had some 

 puzzling questions to decide. Dufi'erin alone upheld the 

 challenge dogs, Attraction being absent. Then Streatham 

 Monarch and Carney had their tussle, and great was the in- 

 terest manifested around the railing and inside the riDg. A 

 long examination and then they were weighed: Carney ioibs., 

 Streatham Monarch 52lbs., and Joe Lewis gave a yell as he 

 saw the judge mark Streatham Monarch first, but the smile 

 died in its infancy when the judge put another point opposite 

 Carney's number— equal first. The owners wanted it one way 

 or the other, but the spectators smiled and thought the 

 judge had done a very wise thing. Carney has the advan- 

 tage in better size, and will keep himself longer, while Mon- 

 arch is growing beefier with age. Carney 'has the better 

 bead, cleaner and not so cheeky, and is much better in front 

 where Monarch needs showing properly as he is apt to stand 

 out there, bodies are about equal, but hind legs are in Mon 

 arch's favor and tail must be credited to Carney— roil a (out 

 messieurs— take your choice. Sir Jack should have given 

 place to Sir Monty II., though heavy in shoulders and faulty 

 in feet, while Sir Jack is weak in muzzle and elbows 

 are out: Keno, vhc. is short faced and too light in body 

 Grove Baroness won in bitches, short in head and falls away 

 in quarters and is not a good one by any means. Rose is 

 light in eye, cheeky and weak in pasterns; Queen Bendigo 

 third, is well known, Edgewood Fancy could just about 

 win here, better fronted than any, and nice head. Winning 

 Wagtail was in bad shape. Under 301bs, Tom Beverly won 

 is on the English type,long narrow head fine body and limbs, 

 looks a 'Taster. " Mister Dick is short necked and thick in 

 head; Watchful Wagtail is good barring his bad front; Mis- 

 ter Dick Bendigo won under the judge, but was disqualified 

 as over weight. Luce cannot beat Lady Vesuvius, latter 

 better in head, legs and body. Mister Dick Bendigo won 

 in puppies and Tom Beverly should have been second over 

 Lady Vesuvius. 



Dachshunds. — Windrush Rioter won nicely in dog chal- 

 lenge class over Hundesport Bergman in head, muzzle es- 

 pecially, chest, crook and ear. Girl added another lucky 

 win to her score in her class. Open dogs was a good class", 

 and Wallen stein, better in head and crook thau'Superbus, 



mixed in blue, was first in dogs over Damfiuo, described 

 before. Dick beat Toon's Royal for the special, but should 

 not have done so. Minnie Yorke was alone in bitches. 



Black and Tan Terriers.— Matchless beat Buffalo Lass 

 in eye, head aud body in challenge class. Prince Regent 

 was alone in open dogs, and Meersbrook Empress had a 

 near touch in beating the other in her class. 



The toys were poor as usual. Whippets— The Detroit 

 dogs were the only two entries. 



Pugs —These pet dogs were judged on an elevated car- 

 peted platform, but I was unable to get notes on these dogs 

 owing to the crowd. The winners, however, are all well 

 known. Something should be done about benching these 

 dogs. For convenience sake they were put by their owners 

 two and three in a coop, when it is almost impossible to dis- 

 tinguish which is which, unless the owner happens to be at 

 hand. The awards will be found in the list, many of them 

 will be shown aaain so they can be left over. 



Tot Spaniels — A nice show of quality, and our breeders 

 are getting the skull and short faces more frequently rmw- 

 adays. Royal Duke beat Young Milwaukee in dog class in 

 breadth aud height of skull, coat and forelegs; Ben D'Or 



his first appearance. "Gem of the Season was the only chaT [ ™ on - Hundesport Zanker is too short-faced. Prince 

 lenge entry for competition. Master Rich and Miss Rare fphnapps^ reserve^ has bad feet, nice head and body; the 



were on exhibition, being the property of the judge. In 

 open dogs, Ornatus bad to give place to Lord Neverstill, 

 better in ribs, Join and quarters, though the black dog is 

 better in pasterns. Neverstill was the winner last year. 

 Surplus, third, is rather weak in loin compared to the other 

 two. Pious Pembroke, well-known, came reserve. Yonder 

 He Goes, a strongly built dog, is heavy in shoulders, not 

 straight in front aud falls away too much in quarters. Ken- 

 tucky Bine is thick in skull and light in loin among other 

 faults. Bitches, Little Climber, last year's winner, won. she 

 b&if' 'ng Bestwood Daisy in bone and substance, rib develop- 

 ment and thickness of loin, but Daisy is truer behind, in 

 hocks; Lilly of Gainsboro, third, hardly looked herself; she 

 loses to the others in fiont and shoulders; Sunol, reserve, 

 is not let down enough behind and had a swelling on the 

 side of her jaw; Lady of Fashion, vhc, is rather heavily 

 built and could be better in ribs and loin. Liberty was 

 shown last year-; is heavy in shoulders, has faulty pasterns, 

 and neck too short. 



Clumbers.— Boss III. and Lady Bromine were the only 

 Clumbers shown, and were in fair condition. 



Field Spaniels. — Many of the winners need no descrip- 

 tion. Samson and champion Bridford Gladys furnished the 

 challenge winners. In open dogs, Rideau Bob, first, was 

 shown in Canada, Wonder loses to him in head, too houndy 

 and wide in front, fair body and good coat. Arko, third, is 

 too high in skull and muzzle snipy. Bob, reserve, won at 

 Toronto laso year. In bitche?, Whatnot, first, won nicely 

 over Woodland Sallie, well known in Canadian shows. 

 Baby Flirt, third, is leggy and not square enough in muz- 

 zle. Bird, vbc, was in whelp. Madge, reserve, has not 

 stop enough and is faulty in front. In liver class the well- 

 known Napoleon won, only entry. In any other color, dogs, 

 Newton Abbot Farmer, abit broad in skull and wide fronted, 

 gave way to Newton Abbot Torso, coarse, but excels in front 

 and bone, body light; decision might be reversed. 



Black Dufferin, shown in fine shape, easily beat Rabbi in 

 present condition in cocker challenge dogs. In the next 

 class the well-known I Say beat Bessie N. in front, body and 

 condition. Open black dogs, Willey's Jersey Obo won nicely 

 over Amusement, who is more of field type or a mixture; 

 muzzle too long. Jersey Boy is thick in skull and feet turn 

 out. Adam, reserve, has been lately criticised. Bitches 

 were a warm lot, Black Duchess proving the winner; a little 



f^i! \n miwQ typ&monehowt GIpoII, is> plain in 



others need no particular mention. In bitches Janet smoth- 

 ered Lina K., and Tatzy has too much white. Dachshunde 

 are evidently making a move to the front. 



Fox-Terriers.— Classes were well filled and the judge 

 did his work creditably in such a small ring. Raby Mixer 

 had no trouble in downing Stnrden's Jack in challenge 

 dogs, who loses in head, neck and shoulders very much, and 

 Dona was alone in the corresponding class. Then came a 

 class, when Dobbin's better head and front put bim over 

 Glendon Spark, who loses in skull. Brockenhurst Tyke 

 loses in head and loin and front to the others. Painter, re- 

 serve, is well known and should have changed places with 

 Bourbon, who beat in head and shoulders, the others need 

 no particular mention. The bitch class was a large one. 

 but Miss Dollar had no difficulty in beating Woodale Re- 

 gina in head, carriage of ear, front and coat. Rowton Safety 

 is improving somewhat, but still her skull and body are 

 not so good as Refusal, shown at Albany, or Damson's; a 

 lot of these dogs were given vhc; in fact nearly everyone 

 was highly mentioned, which makes the awarding of these 

 cards a farce. Many of them will be seen out again, so it is 

 no use particularizing them at present. Harvard, first in 

 dog pups, is weak in jaw, but, nicely fronted. Seacroft 

 Bourbon won second. Bitch puppy awards followed the 

 open bitch class mentions. In wire dogs Eskdale Broom's 

 better coat and front put him nicely over Phasa, and Boston 

 Sting, shown in Canada, ran the latter close. In bitches 

 Capsicum went under to a goodish terrier in Brittany, a 

 son of Brittle. 



Irish Tebeiers. — Breda Bill was alone in dogs and 

 Duomurry and Breda Tioey was the order in challenge 

 bitches. Jack Briggs beat Boxer IV. in head, coat and front 

 very slightly. Gultis, third, loses in head to both. The 

 bitch entries were absent. 



Rough-Haired Terriers.— In Scotch, Kilston again beat 

 Kilbar, and Grey, in bitches, was some distance behind 

 these two. Meph'isto Dick was the only entry in Welsh 

 terriers, and Sentinel II. represented the Bedlingtons. 

 King o' the Heather had a challenge class in Dandies, but 

 Heather Madge is better type despite her want of coat than 

 Onrab, and she is better iu the leg, the other being too 

 light, but has a nice coat and body. Skye terriers had Sir 

 Stafford far the best, 



Yorkshire Terrtfh?. Toon's Royal and Venus repre- 

 pseptefl tf»e ffUSWf in tf»«a lwarl. THok. (short of coat ana" 



Nell Gwynne II, is smutty m tan and loses to the others in 

 head, but is a better mover than either. In puppies. Young 

 Milwaukee beat Mollie Darling in skull and shortness of 

 muzzle. Blenheims showed up well, Y T oung Duke beating- 

 Bob W. hands down. Little Girl was alone in bitches nice 

 bead and body, coat fair. 



Italian Greyhounds.— fjewis Spring, well known, beats 

 Prince in head and front. Bitches had seven entries, Lewis 

 Star has the most correct head, carries ears well and is good 

 in front; Victoria, faulty in ear and eyes, ser-ond; Psyche 

 ears not carried right, third; Sprite sbotild have been higher 

 up, better head, front aud body than either. H. W. Lauy 



Boston Terriers. — Seventeen dogs, owned by members 

 of the Boston Terrier Club, were shown at Chicago. As 

 might have been expected, the number and quality did not 

 quite equal those seen at shows in Boston. The most of 

 these dogs of the best type are owned by wealthy Boston! 

 ans, who could not be induced to send their pets so far from 

 home. In open dogs, 20 to JS lbs., the best type was Ben , fol 

 lowed closely in order by Ross, Pawnbroker and Max- of 

 the other two dogs Noble is faulty in head and tail, while 

 lowser is faulty in ears, muzzle, cheeks and general bull 

 dog make-up. Open bitches, 20 to 351 bs., ban only two en- 

 tries. Topsey, first, is a handsome briudle bitch, but very 

 faulty iu muzzle. Nell, the other entry, is only a' fair speci- 

 men, but second prize was withheld on account of docked 

 tail. Open dogs, 10 to 201bs., had four entries. Smasher, 

 first, a finely-marked brindlc and white dog, won easily, his 

 only fault being a tail carried too high. Toby, second, and 

 King of Trumps, third, were only fair specimens, and Lit 

 tleone, a toy, was outclassed. Open bitches had three en- 

 tries. Mollie, first, won in a close contest with Bessie, 

 second, who beats her in muzzle, but loses iu coat, color 

 and body. Tillie, third, is a nice little bitch, but a brine 

 light ail over. In puppies Rags, first, is an extra eood speci- 

 men of the breed, his only fault is that he is too thick in 

 neck. Hector, second, is a nice small brindle dog, but 

 faulty in muzzle.— J. W. Newman. 



Foxhounds— The entry was light in numbers. The chal- 

 lenge classes had no entry. Ball, the winner of first, is 

 short and plain in head and lackingin foxhound expression 

 He is chunky in build, showing a modified type nf English 

 foxhound. His legs and feet are onlv moderately good ami 

 his eyes are badly colored. Colonel, winner of second, is a 

 better hound, he being more symmetrical, better in body, 

 legs, feet, head and leather, ami shows better foxhound 

 character. His body is well ribbed and he is compactly 

 built. Cull, third, is throaty, has a fairly good head, and 

 his legs and feet are better than those of the first-prize win- 

 ner. There were but two more dogs in tbis class, Barney 

 the reserve, and Sport, vhc, both about average in merit! 

 Six competitors faced the judge in the bitch class. Dart, 

 first, was heavy in whelp, which detracted somewhat from 

 her appearance. She is a modification of the English type. 

 Her legs and feet are good. Beauty, second, is a trifle too 

 heavily built, plain in head and good legs and feet: she was 

 a warm competitor for first. Third went to Kitsy, straight 

 in stifle aud only ordinary in form. Shaggy foxhounds had 

 but one entry, a dog, King B., in the open class, to which 

 only a second was awarded, first being withheld. 



Pointers.— The pointer classes were well represented in 

 point of numbers, and some were shown which were of ex- 

 cellent quality, notably the kennel of Mr. T. G. Davey, Of 

 London. Out. Heavy-weight, challenge dogs had three 

 entries, of which Robert le Diable was "absent, leaving the 

 competition between Trinket's Chief and Pontiac, both of 

 which were shown in good condition, the former winning. 

 Heavy-weight bitches had no entry, The class lor dogs, 

 551 bs. and over, had fifteen entries, two of which were absent 

 and one transferred to the light-weight class. Count 

 Graphic, winner of first, is a symmetrical, well-built dog, a 

 bit high on legs and too heavy in neck, which is of good length 

 and well set on good shoulders. He stands on good legs ami 

 feet, has a well-made body and was shown in excellent con- 

 dition. Second went to Westminster Drake, a dog showing 

 some coarseness. He is too heavy in the shoulders, plain in 

 head, yet, he shows good pointer character and fait sym- 

 metry. Priuce Graphic, third, has a coarse head, is throaty 

 and heavy in neck; otherwise he is a well-made large dog. 

 Dude N., fourth, stands on good legs and feet, body well- 

 made: he is somewhat coarsely put together: he is straight 

 in stifles and heavy in head and neck. Two dogs, Ned W. 

 aud Chief Ammo, received vhc, the former is somewhat 

 coarsely built, is throaty and too heavy iu flew. His legs 

 and feet are well made. The latter is short iu neck, is a bit 

 cheeky, he has a good body and stands on good legs and 

 feet, with a fairly good head. He could have changed, places 

 with the winner of fourth, he being much the better dog of 

 the two. Pluto, Grand Duke and John S., all he, are dogs 

 of ordinary merit. The heavy-weight bitch class had nine 

 entries. Revelation wou first easily, although she was 

 shown entirely too high in flesh, which marred her sym- 

 metry. Second went to Ightfield Madge, also too fleshy: she 

 is short in neck, and her head would be in better proportion 

 if heavier; her shoulders are a trifle too heavy. She could 

 have changed places with Pickwick, winner of third, good 

 in body, legs and feet; neck good and well set: head not quite 

 cleau cut enough for good form. Fourth went to Princess 

 Marguerita, having a coarse, wedge-shaped head; otherwise 

 she was fairly well built. There were four which received 

 vhc, of which, Lady Trinket, was wide in chest and short, in 

 head, Lord Graphic Gem was throaty and somewhat cheeky, 

 Daisy B. was light in muzzle, poor in head, stands too high 

 and shows throatiness, and Cricket C. was only average. 



Launcelot shown in good condition, had a walkover in 

 the challenge class for dog* under 551 bs. Duke of Hessen.the 

 only other entry being absent. The corresponding bitch class 

 had no entry. The open dog class had eight competitors. 

 Ridueview Wagg wou first. He was transferred from the 

 heavy dogs to the light, be being one of the dogs which are 

 so near the limit of weight that they are light weights be- 

 fore dinner and heavy weights after. He is symmetrical, 

 but somewhat stockily built. His shoulders have some 

 heaviness, but his legs, feet, body, stern and symmetry are 

 superior. Inspiration won second. He was in tine condition. 

 Graphic's Tonic is heavy iu skull and leggy, yet his legR and 

 teet are good, and he has fair symmetry. Osborne Ale 11, 

 has a neck too short, but otherwise he is fairly good. Tim 

 esi of the class was hot m wage lot. Eleven were in
