FOREST AND STREAM. 



[March 17, 1892. 



will be seen in the kennel that Breeze Gladstone has so ably- 

 represented abroad. 



Mr. George Raper, now that the Preston (Eng.) show will 

 not take place till May, proposes to stay over for the Boston 

 show and to make his visit more interesting, he has cabled 

 to England for his noble fox-terrier Baby Palissy. This dog 

 was whelped March 1890, and is by Raby Poker out of Maize, 

 by Raby Mixture out of Lonely II; Raby Poker by Pitcher 

 out of Baby Myrtle. Baby Palissy has won first prizes, the 

 last being at New Castle where he won the special for best 

 fox-terrier and terrier of any variety, in the show. 



Among the new announcements in our business columns 

 are the following offers for sale: Greykouuds, A. E. Smith; 

 setters, B. Rowland and W. K. Purington; bulldogs, John 

 Bos? ; bull-terriers, Jas. Black; fox-terriers, Morey Kennels. 

 C. E. Burr offers Ormonde at stud. 



We are greatly surprised at the announcement, which Mr. 

 Sears wires to Forest and Stream, that he has determined 

 to dispose of his entire kennel of St. Bernards, including Sir 

 Bedivere and Hepsey. This decision, to which Mr. Sears has 

 been forced by the pressure of business, will be received with 

 regret by the world of fanciers; and a hope will be entertained 

 that ib may be reconsidered. 



A dog show will be held at St. Louis, under management 

 of W. G. Ingram, March 31 to 24-. The entries received 

 promise a successful exhibition. 



The intelligence of the dog is being put to base uses. 

 First he is taught to smuggle, then to steal chickens, now 

 we see that an enterprising youngster has taught his dog 

 some tricks that bid fair to land his owner in durance vile. 

 The other day, in Philadelphia, this young thief, in com- 

 pany with another, was driving a wagon, when they stopped 

 on the bridge that spans the Aramingo Canal. At this 

 point is a small pond, on the frozen surface of which over 

 twenty school children were skating and sledding. The dog, 

 a large black curly animal, was liberated and dashed 

 among the children. He. siezed a bright-painted sled and 

 was making off with it, when the boys beat him until he 

 let go. Wagging his tail, he danced arouud among them 

 until he suddenly siezed a bag containing a new pair of 

 skates belonging to a little boy. Slinging the bag over his 

 shaggy back the dog ran to the wagon and, leaping in, de- 

 posited his prize, and, after securing a few caresses from his 

 owner, again ran among the children, and seizing a bag 

 containing a pair of overshoes from another little chap took 

 them to his master, and again leaping in the wagon de- 

 posited them at his feet. Blaney, his owner, affectionately 

 patted the thieving dog, which again sprang among the 

 now terror-stricken children, who had stopped their amuse- 

 ment and were holding on to their earthly possessions. The 

 dog next seized a pair of skates and could not be induced to 

 let go until a policeman, who, noticing something unusual, 

 bad gone over tn the spot, forced him to release them. He 

 promptly took Blaney into custody after restoring their 

 proper! y to the badly scared boys. 



PITTSBURGH DOG SHOW. 



[Spec kil to Forest and Stream.'] 



PITTSBUBGH, Pa,, March 15,6 P. M. — This show opened 

 this morning in rather stormy weather, but toward 

 noon it cleared up and the sun came out. Crowds of people 

 have filled the building since noon. 



The show is held in the old Auditorium, but the building 

 has been renovated, and the benching, as it is now set out, 

 affords more room and has a better effect. The gallery has 

 been thrown open and the pet dogs put up there. This re- 

 lieves the main hall considerably. There are two large 

 rings on the stage, but the light is rather poor. Judging 

 began promptly, and before the show closes to-night most of 

 the awards will have been made. Several prominent dog- 

 men are present and the show has every indication of being 

 a great success. Messrs. Boggs. the well-known president, 

 J. H. Lyle, W. E. Littel, J. O'H. Denny, John Moorehead, 

 Jr. and F. H. Denny are working like Trojans, and all the 

 arrangements under Mr. Bead's supervision are very good, 

 considering the lack of accommodations. The awards made 

 up to 6 P. M. are as follows, and, as will be seen, the quality 

 is on a par with any seen this year. There are in all 547 en- 

 tries catalogued.

OUR DOG SHOW. 



Editor Forest and Stream: 



After the lapse of many years there is going to be another 

 dog show in St. Louis. At about the time wheu brief notices 

 began to appear in the sporting columns of the daily papers 

 au unusual state of affairs began to manifest itself. Dogs 

 picked up. Dog men picked up. Niggers picked up. Niggers 

 picked up dogs. Indeed, I am perfectly sincere when I state 

 that, while I have not seen more colored men or more, dogs, 

 I have, nevertheless, seen more colored men aud dogs since 

 the show was announced than were noticeable theretofore. 

 The darkies have a self-conscious air about them, and so have 

 the dogs, and I believe they are going to be at the show. 

 Some of the quadrupeds are coon dogs and some are white 

 folks' dogs, although I understand that by special arrange- 

 ment with the management, nearly all the white folks 

 caught their dogs and tied them up the day before the show 

 was'formally announced. All I have to say is that the white 

 folks will have to get a move on them if they wish to hold 

 their own with the colored troops, for if my surmises are 

 correct and these modest and earnestrlooking dogs I have 

 seen them with are to be entered in the show, they will take 

 nearly all the money. I saw a middle-aged darky yesterday 

 on 15th and Chestnut with a dog that had become much 

 attached to him, by reason of its affectionate disposition and 

 a piece cf tar rope. You could see that he was an entry for 

 "best dog of any known breed" as plainly as though" you 

 were reading the words on a card tacked over his stall in 'the 

 show. He was the best representative of any known breed I 

 ever saw. A while before that I was interested by a darky 

 and a dog who came out of an alley that I was passing. 

 That is, I was interested by the dog. After the dog had got 

 out from between my legs I noticed in him a peculiar species 

 of dog that I thought had become extinct. I also fancied 

 for a moment that I recognized in this apparent canine a 

 very dear friend, for he had hair so strikingly similar to my 

 friend's that really my friend is on all fours with him. ft 

 was hair of that ignus fatuous kind that his wife cannot 

 grasp nor his friends perceive, so that to aU intents he is 

 bald headed, at the same time a vigorous — a vigorous grove, 

 we will say, of grayish hairs adorns him. You can see 

 among them, and if one of them had the effrontery to stand 

 slantendicular j'ou could see its shadow on his polished 

 pate. I say I thought as dogs they had all become extinct, 

 because I only saw the phenomena in individuals of about 

 forty who have led dissolute careers. But here was a bald 

 dog; and if they don't allow any side shows he will probably 

 be in the main hall, with no extra, charge to see him. Up 

 to 5 o'clock this evening the best exhibit had not been 

 secured. I caught a glimpse of him as I crossed an alley at 

 18th and Carr. I also heard his voice, which is a high 

 soprano. Of course the colored contingent were after him , 

 horse, foot and dragoon, and if they can they will bring him 

 in — the only dog ou four legs that can balance a tomato can 

 in the air and sing "Annie Rooney" at one and the same 

 time. The show takes place on the 23d.
