FOREST AND STREAM, 



07 



Tyke, vlic,, is weak in face, rather coarse in neck and quite 

 thick enough in shoulder, a stairdy terrier notwithstanding, 

 showing considerable style and quality. 



In birches Dusky II., who was looking exceedingly well, 

 just landed the premier prize for Messrs. Rutherfurd. She 

 scored well in bone, coat, loin aud thighs over Miss Dollar, 

 who was shown in very soft condition, and her coat at pres- 

 ent is awfully long, "open and woolly, hence her defeat. 

 Spinster, a vei y shapely level made bitch, was third, rather 

 short in head no doubt, still a useful sort, who beat Resume 

 well, the latter, showing badly, is not, quite true in front or 

 perfect on her legs. Vixen, vhc, is weak in jaw and light in 

 bone, a smart bitch otherwise. The reserve ticket was 

 handed to Tuxedo Beauty; shown in grand form, she is 

 slightly heavy in ears and shoulders. 



Warren Days-man scored well in puppies, beating Vandal, 

 a youngster of promise, nice head, eye and expression grand 

 fn mt and fair body, of course he is young, lacking muscular 

 development. Suffolk Surprise, weak in jaw and rather 

 round in skull, is otherwise a very smart dog, true in front, 

 with rare depth of ribs, strong loin and sound hindquarters. 

 Beverwyck Punster, res., is in some respects a very good dog, 

 his coat is not hard enough and his elbows are rather loose, 

 hence at times he stands rather wide in the front. Sparkler's 

 plain head is somewhat compensated for by his good body 

 and Straight legs and feet. 



In bitch puppies, Beverwyck Moonray had no difficulty in 

 winning, for the competition was only weak. She is overdone 

 with leather, otherwise a neat, level-made bitch. Bonaly 

 Belle, weak in and quite long enough in body, was second 

 Best, no third prize being awarded. 



In wire-haired dogs, Suffolk Teazel, the best terrier in the 

 class, and a good one, spoiled somewhat by being a size or so 

 too large, could not be denied Erst, for the competition was 

 not at a very keen character, though Ebor Snowberry is by 

 no means a bad stamp. However, he is not so clean now in 

 shoulders as he used to be, neither are his ears small enough. 

 Of the rest, Suffolk Grip was by far the best; his light eye an 

 low-placed ears somewhat detract from his character. In 

 bitches, Brittany was far away the best. She beat Suffolk 

 Tassel well in character and style. The latter showed badly, 

 aud could not at all times be induced to cany her ears in the 

 orthodox fashion. 



The awards in the novice class were almost a repetition, 

 Blemton Rasper winning, with Warren Daysman second and 

 Blemton Voia third. In bitches, Beverwyck Moonray scored 

 again. VVoodale Refusal, a very neat made smooth, beat 

 Brittany for second money. 



The Blemton Kennels' had quite a successful day, winning 

 both the team prize and also that for the best brace. 



Irish Terriers. 



• Judge— Mr. George Rajn-r. 



In the challeuge class Breda Bill, shorter in face aud thicker 

 in skull, was well beaten by Dunmurry, a very nice bitch, 

 who also took the special for the best Irish terrier in the show. 

 Open dogs found Boxer II, to the fore, the best-headed terrier 

 in the class, and also truer in shoulders and front than Han- 

 over Boy, who has the best coat and hone. Jack Briggs 

 promises to develop into a good terrier, he is but young and 

 now a litt le long and loose in body, but his sound color, typ 

 ical head and expression and good bone secured for him the 

 third money. Trie reserve place being held by Bruce, a game 

 looking customer, but heavy in shoulders. Paraell, vhc, is 

 coarse in muzzle and thin in 'feet, while Rags is too light in 

 bone and full in eyes. Only two prizes were awarded in the 

 hitch class, first honors going to Red Rag, a very nice hitch, 

 who beat Erin easily, for the latter- at present is' entirely out 

 of coat. The special offered for the best brace was taken by 

 Mr. Comstock's representatives. 



JHaek and Tan Terriers. 



Judge— Mr. George Raper. 



These classes brought out nothing new. Broomfleld Sultan, 

 looking well, was ah alone in the challenge class for dogs, 

 while in bitches Matchless secured a walkover, owing to the 

 absence of Buffalo Lass. Merry Monarch also failed to meet 

 his opponents, hence, only three dogs competed in the open 

 class. Here a severe contest took place between Prince 

 Regent and Salisbury, between whom there is little to choose. 

 The latter's stern is faulty and probatuY this accounted in a 



Irish Water Spain 



Harp.' 1 



great measure for the former's win. In bitches Louie, shown 

 m grand fettle, won with consummate ease from Broomfleld 

 Madge, a nice-headed bitch, gone a little wide in front, and 

 Rochelle Carmen cita, a beautiful-shaped terrier, nice in color 

 and markings, but too round in skull and slightly full in eyes. 

 Rosette, plain in head and unshapely in build, was the only 

 other competitor. Rochelle Majestic, better in bodv than 

 head, won easily in puppies from Mispah and Madgelein. 

 Both the brace and team specials were awarded the Rochelle 

 Kennete. 



Only one. Welsh terrier was forward, namely Mephisto 

 Dick; only a moderate representative, hence the first prize 

 was withheld. 



I>andie Oinniont Terriers. 



Judge — Mr. George Raper. 



Another poor collection. Sir Robert, better in head and 

 length of body, easily disposed of King of.the Heather in dogs 



and Heather Madge was a long way ahead in bitches. Meg of 

 the Mill shows age and is very stilty in action; she was given 

 second on sufferance, for both Heather and Jane are under- 

 shot, but. for this fault they would have been in the money. 

 Mr. Ed Brooks's pair secured the special. 



BcdliDgton Terriers. 



Judge— Mr. George Raper. 



Here Tick Tack, shown in nice condition, was all alone in 

 the challenge class. Christmas Carol was. entered, but failed 

 to meet her engagement. In the Open class for dogs Qui Vive 

 could not be denied, for he excelled both in head and body 

 properties. Chemist, placed second ou the list, being not so 

 good in eye, ears or coat, while Editor is weedy and light. In 

 bitches the fii st prize was withheld. Polly Warkworth, the 



Mr. John E. Thayer's "Raby Mixer." 



only representative worthy of notice, was given second. The 

 special for the best brace was awarded Mr. Russell's repre- 

 sentatives. 



Skye Terriers. 



Judge— Mr. George Raper. 



The challenge class found Sir Stafford opposed by Lovet, 

 who was well beaten by the former dog, who ha,s by far the. 

 most characteristic head in additiou to possessing much more 

 bone; in middle piece he also scores, and in coat, both 

 texture, length and denseness, he gains a number of points. 



Open Dogs. Here Sir Roger won easily, by far the best 

 type and better shown than Bruce or Pedro/ Bitches were 

 not a very attractive lot. Bessie, who won here last year, 

 again scored, but she had only Heather, who is short in body 

 and longer on the leg, opposed to her. 



Scotch Hot and Kilscor were a long way ahead in Scottish 

 terriers; both possess fair heads, good expression and ears, and 

 the first named is a well built terrier with hard coat. 



Yorkshire Terriers. 



Judge— Mr. George Raper. 



Yorkshires were a very poor lot. Royal, alone in the chal- 

 lenge dog class, has faded in color, and Venus is a bit light 

 also. She. was alone in challenge bitches. This couple won 

 the brace prize eastiy. Flash was the best coated dog in the 

 open competition. His color is not correct, still he could not 

 be denied, for all the rest were more or less very faulty and 

 not up to show form. Duchess, the winning bitch, carries a 

 fan' amount of coat, hut it is too wavy and silvery; Darling, 

 second best in the class, being too dark in color. 



Toys were also below par, all those on view being apple or 

 round-headed and poorly marked. 



Pugs. 



Judge— Mr. George Raper. 



Pugs -were better. In the challenge class for dogs, Sprakp, 

 a good-colored, nice-bodied dog with fair skull and ears, but a 

 little weak before the eyes, easily disposed of Bob Ivy, shown 

 fat and very weak in muzzle. In bitches, Beaty ill , although 

 a little defective before the eyes, has a go...d skull, shortish 

 face and good wrinkle, wdiile in body she compared very 

 favorably with Bo Peep II., who only beat the former in 

 color of eyes. Bonsor, a nice little dog very shapely in build, 

 with nice skull and foreface, won in the open class, "and after- 

 ward the special for the best dog in the show; that for the 

 best bitch was carried off by Beaty ITT. Toadie, a nice-colored 

 one. was well ahead of the bitches, she wants depth and 

 squareness in face, and was shown rather fat. Sura Bern • 

 hart is lighter in body and not so typical; while Mabel, who 

 took third prize, was not shown in good condition, and her 

 face is too lohg, 



Toy Spaniels, etc. 



Judge— Mr. George Raper. 



In the challenge class the King Charles Milwaukee Charlie, 

 owing to his moderate condition of coat, was beaten by the 

 Japanese, pug Nank-i-Poo, but the former was good enough to 

 win the special offered for the best toy spaniels. Open dogs 

 found Romeo to the fore, he being shorter in face and larger 

 in skull than Prince, who at present is not in good coat, while 

 Bend 'Or, Jr., is altogether too dark in color, otherwise a nice 

 dog, Lady Hillary was well ahead in Per class; she has a 

 short, square muzzle, high and big skidl and fair body. 

 Wings is rather leggy, but in Topsy she had not a very high- 

 class specimen to beat. 



Prince Charles or Rubys — The latter variety was repre- 

 sented by Marguerite, moderate in color, otherwise a nice 

 spaniel, she won, beating Bell, who is out of coat. 



Japanese pugs were a very meritorious collection. In dog's, 

 Kioto, shown in grand coat and condition, won well from 

 Punch, a nice-headed dog, with excellent texture of coat. So 

 has Che-si, the recipient of third; the latter is rather long in 

 back, Tokio is very small — a nice one very, not now in full 

 coat. Otello and Yoko deserved then- cards, both being rep- 

 resentative specimens. Chequo, the winning bitch, is a real 

 gem. She is very short indeed in face, big in skull, and car- 

 ries an excellent coat. Tamah, also very typical, is a shade 

 longer in face. Ki-Ku, small in body, is just a trifle weak in 

 muzzle. She got third, with Mona reserve. „ Among the. rest 



1 much admired Maimee, Ootah, Judy and Ha,ma, all of whom 

 received complimentary cards. 



Star was by far away the best Italian greyhound: and of 

 the brace of Schipperkes that entered the ring Sophia was a 

 long way the best. 



The miscellaneous class was divided. In one division 

 Beauty, a good smooth sheep bitch, won, beating the poodle 

 Sheffield Lad. In the other competition a Mexican hairless 

 dog won easily, beating the Maltese, Beauty.
