AMERICAN KENNEL CLUB MEETING. 



THE American Kennel Club held its annual meeting in 

 Madison Square Garden on Thursday, Feb. 25. The roll 

 call showed a quorum present. Mr. August Belmont pre- 

 sided. The minutes of the last meeting were read and ac- 

 cepted. The treasurer then producedhis report, but as it had 

 been published in the Gazette the reading of it was dispensed 

 with. Mr. Belmont then took the floor and made some re- 

 marks concerning newspaper reports which intimated that he 

 was tired of his office. He explained at some length tha t he 

 was not tired of the office, but that in future he could not, 

 perhaps, devote so much time to the business of the A. K. C. 

 as in the past, if he were elected president, and that if there 

 was anyone, available who could do better, lie would willingly 

 retire in his favor. Furthermore, he said he had in no way 

 authorized the statements concerning his being tired of his 

 office. 



Mr. Anthony took the chair as temporary chairman. Mr. 

 Belmont was unanimously elected president. Mr. Thomas H. 

 Terry was elected vice-president. Messi's. James Watson, 

 Wilson Fiske and Dr. M. H, Cryer were elected a Stud Book 

 Committee for the ensuing yea.v. Messrs. John S. Wise and 

 James L. Anthony were re-elected au Advisory Committee. 

 There was no unfinished business. The report of the Stud 

 Book Committee was accepted and placed on file. It showed 

 a constant growth in the support of the stud book. The re- 

 commendation that the book be issued on April 1 was 

 adopted. The meeting then adjourned. The Executive Com- 

 mittee then went into session. The report of the last meet- 

 ing was read and accepted. The resignation of the Northern 

 Illinois Poultry and Pet Stock Association was accepted. 

 The Youngstown Kennel Club has ceased to exist, so it was 

 stricken from the list. 



The Seattle Kennel Club, Seattle, Wash.; Androscoggin 

 Kennel Club, Lewiston, Me. ; Tri-City Kennel Club, Daven- 

 port, la. ; Keystone Kennel Club, Philadelphia, Pa. ; Hermi- 

 tage Kennel Club, Elmira, N. Y,, were favorably considered 

 and elected to membership. Dr. Perry's letter of withdrawal 

 was read. The application of Chas, M. Nelles for reinstate- 

 ment was considered and was acted upon adversely. The 

 secretary's report was read and accepted. The treasurer's 

 report showed a good financial condition and a good cash 

 balance. The clubs in arrears are to have sixty days in which 

 to pay their dues or be dropped from the list. The report of 

 the committee on bringing held trial wins under the juris- 

 diction of the A. K. C. was adopted and recommended. 



Mr. A. P. Vredenburgh was elected secretary -treasurer for 

 the ensuing year. The name of the Continental Kennel Club, 

 on its request, was changed on the list to conform to the charter 

 name of the club, w T hich is the Continental Kennel Club Com- 

 pany. The Committee on Pedigrees asked for more time. The 

 matter of moving the office of the A. K. C. up town near 

 Madison Square Garden was considered, and a committee 

 was appointed to select suitable rooms for the purpose, and 

 also in addition a room or rooms for visitors was to be con- 

 sidered. The matter of having medals made for special 



Erizes, one to be given to the best of each breed at all shows 

 eld under the auspices of the A. K. C. was referred to the 

 committee which had charge of the selection of new offices. 

 Several protests were referred to the Advisory Committee. 



A committee was appointed to see if better arrangements 

 could not be made with express companies for the transpor- 

 tation of dogs to and from shows. A committee of three was 

 arranged for, to be appointed by the Chair, with a view to the 

 making of better arrangements' regarding the importation on 

 dogs, the restrictions now in force being almost prohibitory. 

 A resolution was passed, the purport of which is that no 

 claims for dates shall be allowed till the September meeting 

 of the club. If necessary, the club will arrange the circuit 

 and give such dates as will be most conducive to the success 

 of the circuit A standing committee of five is to be v ap- 

 pointed on rules, to revise the rules and submit any amend- 

 ments to the club. 



THE INS AND OUTS OF SPECTRE. 



New York, Feb, 25.— Editor Forest and Stream: The asser- 

 tion contained in a paragraph of your last issue that I sent 

 the setter bitch Spectre out of the ring is absolutely false. 



John M. Tracy. 



[Our authority for the statement that Spectre was ordered 

 out of the ring is Mr. Fiske himself, corroborated by Mr. John 

 Brett, of Spratts Patent. It was Mr. Fiske, however, who 

 subsequent^ took the bitch back into the ring.] 



A Successful Control- 



The W. K. C. is unique in one sense, other clubs' officers 

 seem to change almost yearly, but the names always con- 

 nected with the W, K. C. see'm to go on forever. Messrs. T. 

 H. Terry, H. B. Cromwell, F. R. Hitchcock, the Rutherfurd 

 brothers, R. C. Cornell, F. O. De Luze, G. De F. Grant, 

 Elliot Smith, G. S. Floyd Jones are names familiar to us at 

 W. K. C. shows for ten years past; and when the show is on, 

 they each do their best for it as stewards in the rings or in 

 other ways. 



It seems that a race has been concluded between Mr. 

 Hacke's Barzois and some of the better greyhounds of the 

 West. Here is a good chance for the "West to accumulate 

 gome Eastern capital at a low rate of interest 



MEETING OF THE POINTER CLUB. 



THE Pointer Club of America met at 4 P. M. in Madison 

 Square Garden. Mr, John S. Wise in the chair. About 

 a dozen members were present. Owing to the absence of the 

 secretary, Mr. Geo. La Rue, the greater part of 'he order of 

 business could not be followed. The protest of Dr. J. R. 

 Daniels, against the decision of the judges of the Central Field 

 Trial Club in awarding the club's special prize of 3100 to Duke 

 of Hessen, he claiming it should be awarded to Promotion, was 

 rejected, the club declining to pass upon the protest, as in the 

 club's opinion the matter was out of its jurisdiction, and it 

 was so resolved. It was resolved that the secretary send a 

 check of $100 to the Central Field Trial Club, and to notify 

 said club of Dr. Daniels's protest, and to request said club to 

 await a protest from him if he has one to make, us he pro- 

 tested to the Pointer Club by mistake. A copy of the resolu- 

 tion was ordered to be sent to the Central Field Trial Club and 

 Dr. Daniels. 



There was a balance of $175, above all indebtedness, in the 

 treasury. It was decided to give a $30 special at the Boston 

 show to be divided, $20 to go to the breeder and $10 to the 

 owner of best American bred pointer dog in show, and owned 

 by a member of the Pointer Club. Also at the Washington 

 and Pittsburgh shows, $10 each for the best dog and bitch. 

 The list of officers elected is as follows; President, Chas. 

 Heath; Vice-President, John S.Wise; Secretary-Treasurer, 

 Geo. La Rue. Delegate to A. K. C, G. Muss-Arnolt. Execu- 

 tive committee, Messrs. Terry. Tracy, Arnolt, Anthouy and 

 the officers of the club. Messrs. J. L. Anthony and B. 'f haver 

 were elected to membership. 



ENGLISH SETTER CLUB MEETING. 



KyHE annual meeting of the English Setter Club was held at 

 JL Madison Square Garden, Tuesday, the 23d. It was pre- 

 ceded by a meeting of the executive committee, which at- 

 tended to some routine business, and which elected the fol- 

 lowing to membership in the club: Richard Merrill and G. G. 

 Pabst, Milwaukee, Wis.; C, M. Rounds, San Antonio, Texas; 

 Bayard Thayer, Boston; Wm. Bryce, Jr., and Howard Cook, 

 Bergen Point, N. J. ; Mr. Robertson and Mr. Stent, K Y. At 

 the annual meeting Mr. Pierre Lorillard, Jr., was re-elected 

 president; F. W. Whitloek. 1st vice-president; J. M. Tracy, 

 2d vice-president; Wilson Fiske, secretary and treasurer. An 

 executive committee of nine additional persons to the above 

 officers was elected, viz.: J. T. Richards, J. M. Taylor, Wm. 



Mr. J ames Mortimer, 

 Superintendent W. K. C. Show. 



Bryce, Jr., Wm. Tallman, J. M.' A vent, P. H. O'Bannon, Dr. 

 W. A. Power, G. E. Osborn. A motion was made to abolish 

 the list of judges. An amendment was offered providing 

 for a new election of judges, and a provision was made 

 that all ballots should be sent in in sealed envelopes to be 

 openedlu April by the executive committee. 



A committee was appointed to revise tbe constitution and 

 by-laws. Another of five to arrange for occasional meetings, 

 when a dinner will be served. It was voted that the first one 

 be held in Boston on the second day of the show — time and 

 place to be decided by the committee. A resolution was 

 passed urging the membership to do what they could to in- 

 crease the membership of the club, and that each member be 

 requested to send in, at once, at least one new name. Mr. T. 

 G. Davey, of Canada, promised ten, and was heartily ap- 

 plauded. Among those present were: Dr. N. Rovve. Bayard 

 Thayer, P. H. O'Bannon, G. G. Pabst, J. M. Tracy, Win. Tall- 

 man. Geo. Jarvis, J. T. Richards, J. M. Taylor, A. Huide- 

 koper, Wilson Fiske. G. E. Osborn, Dr. H. Clav Glover, T. G.

THERE were fifteen members present. The Secretary re- 

 ported that ten new members had ''been elected. Some 

 unimportant changes were made in the by-laws and constitu- 

 tion. The treasurer's report showed a balance of 8100 and a 

 clean debit account, Executive committee appointed for 

 next year: A. C. Wilmerding, Jas. Watson, E. M. Oldham, 

 E. H. Morris and Rowland P. Keasbey. An Executive com-

PHILADELPHIA DOG SHOW. 



PHILADELPHIA, Pa.— {Special to Forest and Stream). 

 — Wind, rain, snow and everything that tends to make 

 one feel uncomfortable in the open air was the state of the 

 weather in which the Keystone Kennel Club's first show 

 opened this morning. When 1 arrived everything was in 

 order, and judging commenced promptly at' 10 A. M., con- 

 tinuing without intermission in oue or other of the two 

 rinas during the dav, and the 422 entries were all judged 

 and specials awarded by 6:30 P. M., a record for a show of 

 this size, that I believe has not before been accomplished. 



Tattersall's, where the show is held, is a light, airy huild- 

 ing— horsy, but very clean. The benches are on two floors, 

 but the stairs arc wide and dogs are easilv handled. The 

 rings were well served, so that there was little delay. Mr. 

 Watson, who is t he prime mover and organizer of the show, 

 had everything in good order, and the catalogue has very 

 few, if any, mistakes, so well is it gotten up. 



The dogs on exhibition are a good lot, as the prize list 

 shows, and tbe show i» just a reflex, on a smaller scale, of 

 the. gathering at New York last. week. AifO"? th ose present 

 I noticed Dr. Hartman. C. T. Thompson. F. G. Taylor, John 

 Lewis, Col. Rupnerr, W. C Reick. Mrs. Ruck bey, \. C.

 standing the weather) has been fair. A marked catalogue 

 will be issued to-morrow, and with eood weather thpreis 

 nothing to prevent the show being a success. The complete
