AMERICAN FOX-TERRIER CLUB. 



NEW YORK, March I.— Editor Forest and Stream; The 

 American Fox-Uerrier Club offers the following spe- 

 cials at the show of the New England Club: $10 for the best 

 fox-terrier (dog or bitch J in the show, $10 for the best fox- 

 terrier (dog or bitch) in the open class, and 825 for the best 

 exhibit of lour fox-terriers. Also the Apollo and Home- 

 Bred Puppy Stakes will be decided at that show, and the 

 Yankee Stakes of 18a0; that is, for puppies born between 

 March 1, 1889, and March 1, 1890. 



At the Washington dog show the club offers $10 for best 

 fox-terrier in the show (dog or bitch), $10 for trie best fox- 

 terrier (dog or bitch) in me open class, and $5 for the best 

 fox-terrier in the novice class (clog or bitch). Also the Tom- 

 boy Stakes of 1892 will be decided in Washington. 



The annual meeting of the club was held on Feb. 24, 1892, 

 at the Madison Square Garden, and the old board of officers 

 was re-elected. Tne club also decided to recommend as a 

 judge of fox-terriers Mr. T. S. Bellin, of Aloany, N. Y.. in 

 the place of A. L. Weston, of Denver, Col. Messrs. Bel- 

 mont, Rutherfurd and Vanderpoel were appointed a com- 

 mittee to arrange for a fox-terrier show during the coming 

 year, and also to communicate with the Mascoutah Kennel 

 Cluo, of Chicago, in regard to the dog show to be held dur- 

 ing the World's Fair in 1893. 1 will notify you further in 

 regard to what has been decided as to the two latter mat- 

 ters. Aug. H. Vanderpoel,

FOX-TERRIER CLUB MEETING. 



rpHE Fox-Terrier Club met on Wednesday afternoon, when 

 A last year's officers were re-elected. A committee was 

 also appointed to confer with the National Greyhound Club 

 with respect to holding a joint show some time during the 

 summer, and Messrs. Vanderpool, Belmont and Rutherlurd 

 were chosen to confer with the World's Fair regarding the 

 exhibition next year. 



Business. 



Laxrobe. Pa.— Editor Forest and Stream: In reply to my ad- 

 vertisement in Forest and Stream the large number of answers 

 I received and pressure ot business prevented me from answering 

 all; but I will have a printed Jiet of my does made up soon, and 

 ytil] send to any one on application,— Dr. John A. Harsman,, 



DOG CHAT. 



THE great Fullerton has once more demonstrated his supe- 

 riority over other greyhounds by finally defeating, after 

 three most severe trials, Fitz Fife, the runner up, and thus 

 winning outright for the third time the Waterloo Cup. 

 The meeting at Altcar was postponed from the previous 

 wpek and commenced Feb. 22. The conditions of the stake 

 are: The Waterloo Cup, for sixty-four subscribers, £25 

 each. Winner, £500; second. £200: two dogs, £50 each; four 

 dogs, £30 each: eieht dogs, £20 each; sixteen dogs, £10 each; 

 the Waterloo Purse and Plate, £3(50. Total, £1,600. Mr. 

 Hedley was the judge and T. Bootmau slipper. We cannot 

 name the 32 winners in the first round, but those left in the 

 third round were Happy Augury, Race Course, Youna Ful- 

 lerton, Ivan the Great, Fullerton, Rhymes, Pleasant Nancy, 

 Patrick Blue, Fitz Fife, Silver City, Jim of the Hill, Tex- 

 ture, Roman Oak, Annihilator, Full of Mischiet and Neston. 

 Afterward Race Course, Fullerton, Fitz Fife and Roman 

 Oak were left in. Fullerton was a great favorite at odds of 

 14 to 1 on. In the final heat Fitz Fife and Fullerton ran an 

 undecided and then another course was run, but this did not 

 settle matters, and still another course had to be gone 

 through before Fullerton was returned the winner. Fuller- 

 ton bounded away with a lead in the final course of four 

 lengths, and though Fitz Fife drew up, the crack was never 

 headed. Fullerton is by Green tick out of Bit of Fashion, 

 and is owned by Col. North, while Fitz Fife, that must be a 

 wonderfully good greyhound, is by Royalty II out of Bude- 

 light, and is owned by Mr. G. F. Fawcett. The history of 

 the cup shows that the first cup was established in 1836, and 

 it was then a small affair, being an eight-dog stake. It was 

 first won by Lord Molyneux's Milanie. It was increased to 

 sixteen dogs the following year, and to thirty-two dogs in 

 1838, at which number it remained until 1857, when it be- 

 came a sixty-four-dog stake, and it has remained so from 

 that time. 



The excitement and the prevailing topic of conversation 

 along "pet dog row" at the Garden was the claiming of the 

 King Charles spaniel Daffodil by a young lady from Brook- 

 lyn. The young lady was positive she was 'right and the 

 matter was taken to court, where it was eventually proved 

 that the dog belonged to Miss Willetts, the claimant, it 

 having been picked up by a boy who sold it to the Roth- 

 schilds, the defendants, who claimed $50 for expenses and 

 the sum they had paid for it. Judge Duffy finally gave one 

 of his characteristically Solomonic decisions— that before 

 Miss Willetts could get her dog she must pay the defend- 

 ants $30 After a long struggle with principle and a love 

 for the dog, the claimant eventually compromised on a basis 

 of $25. Miss Willetts gets her dog and the defendants 

 everything else. Such a decision seems to put a premium 

 on dog catching. 



A number of sales were concluded during the show. Mr. 

 G. W. Glazier sold the mastiff Ingleside Maximilian to Dr. 

 C. A. Lonquest, of Boston, Mass., for $100. Mr Scaulan 

 sold the Irish setter bitch Avondale, by Inchiquin out of 

 Jess, for $250. Mr. John H. Mathews sold a bulldog pup by 

 Quiberon out of Derby Hebe, for $125. Mrs. Nicholson sold to 

 Clinton J. Edgerley the St. Bernard Mount Zion Sylvia for 

 8100. Mr. A. W. Pear3all, of the Redstone Kennels, L. 1., 

 sold the Irish setter Cherrystone to Mr. John D. Crirnmins. 



At the auction sale of Mr. John A. Logan, Jr.'s fox-ter- 

 riers, held on Thursday afternoon at Tattersall's, fair prices 

 were realized. Dominica went cheap, fetching only $350. 

 Verdict, that has come more into notoriety now as tie dam 

 of Victor II., that won everything before him at. the show, 

 brought $175, Oriole Sullivan $14o. Brilliant $70, Verona $35, 

 Rapture 825, Baccarat $21,Vice$20 and Sparkle and Triumph 

 $14 each. 



At the Rutherfurd sale the next day prices, as usual, were 

 good. About forty dogs were sold and these brought an 

 average of $30. The highest bid was $80 and the lowest $11. 



Mr. E. C. Whiton was so elated over the good showing 

 made by his greyhound Spinaway at New York, where she 

 won the special for best bitch in the show, that visions of 

 winning the Waterloo Cup coursed through his mind, and 

 a cable was soon on its way to find out the lowest that a 

 service of the great Fullerton could be secured for. Back 

 came the answer $200. It was pretty stiff, but then the flag 

 bad just gone up for the fourth time over Fullerton, and it 

 was now or never. Spinaway therefore sailed on the Etruria 

 Saturday morning, and will be in charge of Mr. John 

 Douglas, we believe. She will be kept in England till it is' 

 knowd whether she is in whelp, and if not will remain in 

 Mr. Raper's kennels and be tminedforsomecoursingevents. 



Thanks to the vigorous exertions of Mr. G. W. Glazier, 

 the stupid statute of Massachusetts making outlaws of 

 "bloodhounds" has been repealed. All dog men are under 

 an obligation to Mr. Glazier for this, as ignorant legislation 

 concerning dogs is apt to work mischief to all. 



We have received the first proofs of the Boston show's 

 premium list. In challenge classes the prizes are the club's 

 silver medal. In open, for the more important breeds, $15, 

 $10 and $5 is the order; other breeds have $10, $5 and $3 and 

 $10 and $5. The specialty clubs are quite liberal, and some 

 valuable trophies can be picked up, while the club's kennel 

 specials of $15 and $10 are worth winning. The judges, as 

 far as we know, are Mr. James Mortimer for nearly all the 

 non sporting breeds, Mr. James Bellin fox-terriers, and Mr. 

 Davidson sporting dogs. Spaniels hpve classification No. 3. 

 Entries close March 19, and the fep is $3 all round. We sin- 

 cerely trust that exhibitors will do their best to give Boston 

 a record entry, for while new shows are springing up all 

 over we must not forget the old ones, or those which stood 

 the brunt when dog shows were not so popular as at present. 



We have been unable before to allude to the death of Mr. 

 Nichols, editor of the English Stock-Keeper. The loss of 

 such a widely known and popular journalist and fancier 

 must be well nigh irreparable, and our esteemed contempo- 

 rary has the sincere sympathy of Forest and Stream. 



Owing to lack of financial support Dr. Gibier says he 

 must soon close his Pasteur Institute on West Tenth street. 



Mr. S. C. Bradley, the expert field trial handler and 

 trainer, requests us to mention that there is no Fort Wayne 

 Kennel, that having ceased to exist when the Greenfield 

 Hill Kennel was formed. He desires this to be known, as 

 letters are sometimes sent to the Fort Wayne Kennel instead 

 of to his kennel at Greenfield Hill, Conn. 



The average newspaper por rait would afford reasonable 

 ground for a libel suit. Thp portraits of Westminster show 

 judges and others given by Forest and Stream to-day are 

 noteworthy as excellent likenesses. 



Among the new offers for sale this week are the following: 

 English setters, E. I. Bunidge, L. A. Pearle; beagles. Rock- 

 land Kennels, Andrew Laidlaw; pugs, W. M. Stuckey; St. 

 Bernards, Andrew Laidlaw, L. Daniels; Irish setters, O, M. 

 Acklen; pointers, Will Allen. The Seminole Kennels offer 

 collies, pugs and Irish setters at stud; J. Hellen offers St. 

 Bernards. A. H. Moore wants a man to take charge of St. 

 Bernards. The New England Kennel Club announces its 

 eigatfc annual bench enow. 



After the Albany show Mr. Frank Dole sold the bull- 

 terrier Carney to Mr. W. H. Keeler, to be delivered after the 

 New York show. Mr. Keeler has in turn sold this noted 

 bull-terrier, along with Edgewood Fancy, to Mr, E. D. 

 Hayes, owner of the Tubby Hook Kennels, of New York 

 city. 



Those who were not able to attend the New York sbow 

 should send to this office for a copy of the Dog Show Extra. 

 It is a fitting souvenir of the best dog show yet held in 

 America. 



Mr. A. M. Hughes, who was so long and favorably known 

 in St. Bernard circles and who handled old Apollo in his 

 exciting competitions with champion Hector, his son, has 

 been buried in Chicago for some time past, but now, we are 

 pleased to say, will be seen among us again. Mr. James W. 

 Whitney, owner of the Flour City Kennels, has secured his 

 services as manager, and it is more than probable, under 

 Mr. Hughes's experienced care, this kennel will soon be 

 able to show some young mastiffs of its own breeding. 



Col. Ruppert, not satisfied with the location of his kennel 

 at far-away Poughkeepsie, will remove them to his brewery 

 gardens on Third avenue, New York, where he will have a 

 chance to see them every day and so become better acquainted 

 with his own dogs. He will sail on April 2 for England 

 and, perhaps, bring a good bitch or two back with him. Mr. 

 W. C. Reick sails for Spain in the course of a week or two 

 and will return with Col. Ruppert in May. 



The judging of Mr. George Raper was a revelation to our 

 sbowgoers and a revelation that some of them did not like. 

 We have been admittedly weak in our smaller breeds of dogs, 

 and because some mediocre animals from a want of some- 

 thing better have gained a "home-made" record, owners 

 have run away with the idea that they are good specimens 

 of the breed. It seems foolisb, therefore, for them to ques- 

 tion the judgment of a man who thoroughly up to date 

 comes from the very hotbed of keen competition in these 

 classes, and from his vast experience must surely know what 

 he is doing. Further than this, Mr. Raper. through the 

 Forest and Stream, told our readers in the Extra his rea- 

 sons for his action while the echo of the decision was still in 

 the ring. Mr. Raper is much pleased with his reception in 

 this country. When asked what he thought of the country, 

 he answered, "Why, man, they haven't given metimeto see 

 it 3 7 et!" Further on he remarked that the management of 

 the New York show could not be improved. Mr. Raper sails 

 for England in time for the Preston show, April 7, where he 

 judges. 



Mr. Mortimer will pay a visit to the old country in June 

 and will be away for some time. This well-known ju due 

 and manager was much put out at the statement in a West- 

 ern paper that he was leaving the W. K. C. to accept the 

 management of the Hempstead Farm Kennels. While he 

 will have the management of the Farm he will also have a 

 pecuniary interest in the business, which will include buy- 

 ing and selling of all sorts of stock, their importation, etc., 

 in fact there is no limit to the scope of their transactions, so 

 that Mr. Mortimer will have every opportunity to exercise 

 that executive ability he is so noted for. 



There were rumors of an earthquake at the show, and it 

 did seem as if the sturdy building was trembling in some 

 seismic throws, but it was only friend Bradley showing off 

 the "liberty" of Rowdy Rod for the field trial special, 



Professor Hampton and his circus pleased every one im- 

 mensely, and the two cats in their mimic ring were very 

 amusing. The professional air with which John L knocked 

 Kilrain through the ropes and out was an achievement in 

 training that surprised the knowing ones. 



The enterprise of the Forest and Stream in issuing 

 an extra the last day of the sbow with a full account of the 

 show elicited many expressions of astonishment and con- 

 gratulations. The pictures alone were considered unap- 

 proachable. This is only a forerunner of other surprises 

 which the Forest and Stream has in store for "our dog- 

 men." Our friend "Hunky Dory" has an opportunity now 

 to make a graceful retraction and "bury" the past. There 

 are interesting features connected with the New York show 

 that must necessarily lie over another week, or the fishing 

 ma^, the shooting man and the yachting man will cut us 

 dead. 



The enterprise of the Forest And Stream in reporting 

 the Irish Setter Club meeting that did not take place, will, 

 we are sure, be duly appreciated. 



The Fox-Terrier Club's show at Oxford, England, was a 

 great success as far as the quality of dogs is concerned. The 

 open bitch class is said to have been the best ever brought 

 together in a dog show, and a number of promising young- 

 sters made their debut. 



At Craft's sbow, the Duchess of Newcastle purchased the 

 Psovie Borzie (this is the latest name) Oudar for $1,000 from 

 the Imperial Kennels, It seems very much as if these dogs 

 will soon vie with the St. Bernards in lofty prices. 



We are very much gratified by the success of the engravers 

 in providing such excellent portraits of the Westminster 

 judges. They are capital likenesses, the excellence of which 

 will at once be recognized. 



NOTES AND NOTIONS. 



HPHE prominence of the "field trial" ideal in the setter 

 judging at the recent New York show again illustrates 

 the silliness of attempting to base show awards on field trial 

 performance. It is very strange that men of ordinary in- 

 telligence should so constantly flounder on this subject. 

 Take a certain noted stud pointer as an illustration: a flashy 

 catchy looking dog, he is deficient in many of the most im- 

 portant features of a workman, yet he undeniably is a good 

 performer in the field, but is so in spite of his conformation, 

 not by reason of it. As a postulation, it might be said that, 

 it is his resolution, his "grit," that carries him through, and 

 that he must finish a day's work much more wearied than a 

 dog of such conformation as Graphic for instance. The 

 Graphic type of dog being better constructed for endurance, 

 does his work with a lesser draft on his "grit," yet this in- 

 sensate folly of departing from sound, fundamental princi- 

 ples to follow will-o-the-wisp exceptions has already given 

 us a lot of very weedy pointers because, in one exceptional 

 instance, a bad pointer turned out a good performer.
