FOREST AND STREAM EXTRA. 



From the Forest akd Stream Dog Show Extra, publish al on the 

 last day of the show. 



WE are confident that readers will be pleased with the 

 Forest and Stream Dog Show Extra. For the first 

 time in the history of bench shows in this country there is 



Mr. A. C. Wilmerdtng. 

 Spaniel?. 



given, while the show is still in progress, a complete account 

 of the work done hy the judges, with intelligent comments 

 on the exhibits and the awards. For the first time it is thus 

 made possible to study a judge's awards in the light of his 

 explanation of Iris reasons for making them. 



How difficult has been the undertaking, and what its suc- 

 cessful accomplishment means, only one who is at once a 

 dogman and a journalist can begin to comprehend. 



For the labor involved we shall be amply repaid if the 

 Extra shall serve the purpose intended and prove to be of 

 practical service to its readers. 



The Extra is to be accepted as an earnest on the part of the 

 kennel management of Forest and Stream to make the paper 

 more valuable and more useful in the immediate future than 

 ever before. The Extra is only one of many enterprises un- 

 dertaken in the interest of fanciers, and possible only because 

 of the energy and resources of this journal. Already con- 

 ceded to be the kennel journal of America, the Forest and 

 Stream will not be contented with mere pre-eminence, but 

 will originate and execute new enterprises in the interest tjj 

 dogs and fanciers. 



The Westminster Kennel Club has given a grand show and 

 it is only fitting that the event should be thus appropriately 

 recognized by Forest and Stream. In the Extra theexhibir- 

 ors have a novel souvenir of the event. 



THE NEW YORK DOG SHOW. 



In years to come there may be a greater gatkeimg of 

 blooded canines in New York city, but it is quite safe to say 

 that in nearly everything that pertains to the management oi 

 the Westminster Kennel Club's dog show, little orno improve- 

 ment can be suggested. The old barn-like structure that did 

 duty for so many years with its unsightly walls and draughty 

 aisles would have spoiled the effect of the best arrangement's 

 that could have been planned. Now it is different. With a 

 building that is quite up to modern taste in decoration and 

 architecture, the tout. en. tern ble of the show is both pleasing 

 and effective. 



All the dogs are benched on the main floor, so that there is 

 no cause for dissatisfaction in that respect this year. The 

 Spi atts Company have arranged the benching most artistic- 

 ally, and the four good rings in the center- of the building 

 seemed quite sufficient for the purpose, as when six rings are 

 placed there is considerable confusion in serving them. This 

 reminds us that we never a'tteuded a show where the dogs 

 were brought before the judge so expeditiously and with so 

 little confusion. The writer can testify personally to this, for 

 in many cases it was impossible to get the k awaras ffrom the 



judge's book before it was required for the checking off of the 

 next ' lass. The rings, as usual at New York, were well 

 looked after by the "scavenger," so that at all times they 

 were sweet and clean. 



With management so perfect it must have been intentional 

 to deprive the public of the chance to identify the dogs by 



Miss Anna H. Whitney. 

 St. Bernards and Newfoundlands. 



the large lettered cards in vogue last year. There was con- 

 siderable grumbling at this, round the ring sides. At every 

 public gathering of this description, whether it be a horse 

 show or a cattle show, cards that will enable the public to 

 identify the animal under judgment are and should invari- 

 ably be attached to the animal. Then it was thought the 

 building was kept at too high a temperature in the evenings, 

 but this may in great part have been caused by the immense 

 crowds. 



New York seemed to just tumble itself into the coffers of 

 the W. K. C. The pretty women — the toilets — the brave men 

 — it would take an abler pen than mine to do them justice. 

 To sit in one of the balconies and look down upon the swarm- 

 ing scene of beauty and fashion all come to do homage to 

 man's best friend makes the lover of a dog, indeed, feel proud 

 that the day has come when an intelligent and discerning 

 public has determined that the dog should stand on an 

 equality with the horse. Dog show week is one of the pivotal 

 points in the world of society, and where society goes the rest 

 of New York is willing to follow. 



We never remember a show where the aisles were so filled 

 with representative dogmen. It seemed as if every man who 

 during the past teu years had been even remotely connected 

 with dogs had come "just to have a look round, you know." 



J. L. Winchell had mastiff matters pretty much to himself, 

 and F. T. Underbill was also an interested spectator. The St. 

 Bernard owners were out in force; Messrs. Reick, Ruppert, 

 E. B. Sears, E. H. Moore, and with him Blackwood Fay. in

 have dampened his spirits and Harry L. Goodman, with Melao 

 in charge.

 and John Whelan are all interested in the bull-terriers, and 

 Mr. Manice, M, J. Asche, and Sidney Dillon Ripley were well 

 pleased to see such a good lot of dachshunde. E. 0. Brook- 

 ing, F. W. Chapman, H. L. Kreuder, and H. V. Jamieson
