Cock.ee Spaniels.— King of Obos had no competition in 

 the challenge class. He was weighed before being judged, 

 and turned the scales at thirty-three pounds. As he had no 

 competition nobody protested", and he was neither disquali- 

 fied nor transferred to the field spaniel class. The import- 

 ance of the omission was not discovered till the competition 

 for cocker kennel prize began, when a nice question arose. 

 The weight having been known before the judging, tbe 

 managers having allowed the dog to compete thereafter, 

 none of the exhibitors protesting, the question arose 

 whether a protest could be made, and whether the club 

 could make a dog suffer a hardship by an act of negligence: 

 for, King of Obos being overweight, he could have been 

 transferred to the field spaniel class before the judging, 

 whereas, after the judging, he could not have won anything 

 if disqualified. As it was, the Ancient and Modern Ken- 

 nels won the kennel prize, which was an injustice to Mr. 

 Kellie Cookson, whose kennel should have won. He made 

 no protest, although he knew that he was entitled to the 

 award, and desired very much to have the win as a matter 

 of record. In consideration of the whole matter being the 

 result of what was intended as a kindness to King of Obos, 

 with no intention to harm others, Mr. Cookson made no 

 protest. In open dogs, Bob Obo, Jr., good in bone; legs and 

 feet well made, good head, but a bit full under the eye, won 

 first over Amusement, a good spaniel; his head, however, is 

 more of field spaniel than cocker type, llideau Romulus, 

 the reserve, has a head of field type; light body; good coat. 

 In bitches, Queen of Spades, too high in flesh, won first 

 over Tiney Obo, plain in head, shown too fat, but of good 

 spaniel character. The rest of the class was about an 

 average lot. In puppies, Bob Obo, Jr., won, Amusement 

 second, the same positions as in the open classes. 



Collies.— In the challenge class, Maney Trefoil, the only 

 entry, has greatly improved in coat, has an excellent frill 

 and mane, has thickened some in skull, eyes a bit full, ears 

 could be better carried, coat ample and dense. In open dogs 

 a puppy six months old won first. He is of fair size, coat 

 somewhat soft, is not yet furnished, fairly good expression, 

 ears large, thick and set on high. Oscar, second, is a poor 

 specimen of a collie; he has no collie character, ears large 

 and badly carried, hard but scant coat, heavy head. In open 

 bitches first was won by Louie Long, a sweet little bitch, a 

 little undersized; good, plentiful coat, good expression, ears

good size, but not always well carried, frill a bit short and 

 bone not quite heavy enough, bod y well shaped and well 

 ribbed. Heatherwig, second, would have been a better first; 

 she is better in bone, ear and expression, the best of feet, 

 bail well carried, a trifle short of frill and cheeky. The re- 

 serve, Spoiled Miss, shows age, but is still a good one. 

 Mermaid, vhc, is not a bad bitch, but has several faults; 

 head short and thick, coat scarce and soft. Denver Jack 

 took first in puppies. Princess Sheila, a litter sister to the 

 winner, is light in boue, large ears badly carried, coat soft. 



Bulldogs.— The bulldogs on exhibition numbered four. 

 Bo'swain, well known, had a walkover in the challenge 

 class, Duchess of Palma being entered to compete for special 

 only. African Monarch had no competitor in the open class. 

 His head lacks bulldog characteristics. Peckham Lass was 

 shown at Chicago and New York this year. She had no 

 competition in her class. 



Bull-Terriers.— Sir Monty II., showing cheekiness, and 

 though a fair dog, is lacking in symmetry, won without 

 competition in dogs. Chautauqua Lottie, a weedy, small 

 bitch, without any merit, won without competition in 

 bitches. The prizes should have been withheld from her. 



Beagles.— One beagle only was shown, Dottie R , a fairly 

 good all-round beagle. 



Fox-TERRIERS.— In open dogs Dixie Tartar won first. He 

 shows middling character, head fairly good, ears small and 

 well carried, feet a bit flat and open, elbows turn out a 

 little, good coat, condition bad, legs a bit long. Second was 

 won by Bleinton Match, too full in eye, lacks expression, 

 cheeky, slack in body, legs and feet good, good ears, soft 

 and scant coat. Little Tot, vhc, is a poor specimen. A 

 fairly good wire-haired was first easily in bitches; she is 

 good type, a trifle large in ear, coat hard, good bone, a little 

 wide in front, out a little at elbows. Tuggy, second, hardly 

 merited the place. Susie, vhc, is a wire-haired, is long 

 cast, being high on legs and long in body; she is lacking in 

 quality. 



Skye Terriers. — But one, a poor specimen, was shown. 



Tor Terriers, other than Yorkshire.— Two apple- 

 headed small black and tans were shown, neither of which 

 had much merit. 



Pugs.— There was a good lot shown. Sateen had a walk- 

 over in the challenge class, the ottier entries being for 

 specials only or absent. In clogs, Little Duke, a nice dog in 

 every respect, and shown in good condition, won first. Jay 

 Bacon, second, had some throat trouble, which marred his 

 appearance. His color looks a little faded; his head rc- 

 so'uibles that of his celebrated sire, Sprake. Punch, vhc, is 

 ( roaxse. too large, and his color is smutty. Toadie. a bitch of 



excellent merit, won first over Nobody's Baby, a bitch of 

 nice size and a winner this year at recent shows. Lady 

 Talent, the reserve, is long in face, high on legs and long in 

 body. Bonita, vhc, is an unfurnished puppy, very fine for 

 her age and undoubtedly will greatly improve. Penrice Boy 

 had a walkover in puppy class. 



Italian Greyhounds.— But one was shown, Dude V., too 

 large in size, straight in back, full in eye. 



Miscellaneous.— Fritz, a good Pomeranian, was the only 

 entry in this class. B. Waters.

FLAPS FROM THE BEAVER'S TAIL. 



rpORONTO, Can.— The Ottowa bench show committee 

 X met on the first inst. for the revision of the prize list etc. 

 The fair association in connection with which the bench 

 show is held, would grant no increase for prizes, so the com- 

 mittee can make little or no improvement on last year's 

 schedule. The show dates will be Sept. 27-30. 



A prominent Canadian bieeder writes me that he hopes 

 Toronto this year will add classes for stud dogs in a few 

 prominent breeds and also selling classes. To use his own 

 words, "I would like to see a stud dog prize in a few of the 

 important breeds, such as cockers for instance. This would 

 help to increase the entry as the owner of a good dog would 

 do his best to have as many of his get entered as possible. 

 Another class that would fill well would be the 'selling 

 class' if a reasonable maximum price were fixed. These 

 classes have filled well in England and are worthy of being 

 tried here." There seems a good deal of sense in my corres- 

 pondent's arguments, and there is no reason why such classes 

 should not be made a drawing card. I commend the idea to 

 other committees as well as that of Toronto. 



Mr. W. S. MeCullagh, Kingston, is about to cross the line 

 to reside in Jackson, Mich. He takes his kennel of spaniels 

 with him, including Vic, first Toronto 1889; Gipsey Queen, 

 first Kingston (field spaniel) 1890; a red puppy, Lally Selden; 

 King Roy, by Ch. Red Jacket out of Brantford Dora, and 

 Black Prince, by King Roy out of Gipsey Queen. 



Mr. W. Barclay, Georgetown, has lost through poisouiug 

 the black cocker bitch Daisy, dam of Mr. Bell's phenomenal 

 I Say, I Guess, Obadiah etc. He is fortunate, however, in
