FOREST AND STREAM. 



[April 31, 1893. 



having left a litter sister of I Say's which he purposes breed- 

 ing to the Rideau Kennels' (Ottawa) Bob Obo. 



Canada so far has led in spaniels of all kinds and it now 

 looks, from the number of terriers being imported, that we 

 are going to have a look in in these sections also. Dr. W*. 

 H. Drumruond, Montreal, informs me that he has pur- 

 chased through the medium of his cousin, Mr. A. Morris, 

 Belfast, Ireland, a brace of Irish terriers. The dog, Com- 

 misariat, is by Apprentice Boy (champion Playboy— Judy) 

 out of Belmont (Playboy— Alpina), was whelped Dec. 22, 

 1890, and was bred by Mr. Geo. L. Jameson, Belfast. Bel- 

 mont is the dam of Hanover Jack, who at time of writing 

 had won two firsts and a special at the Crystal Palace. The 

 bitch, Cora, was bred by Mr. Sales, Belfast, was whelped 

 Aug. B, 1890, out of Nettle by Stanley (Argus— Benedict). 

 They will be shipped as soon as navigation opens in the St. 

 Lawrence, the bitch being bred to a suitable dog before 

 being despatched. 



Mr. T. J. Fitzsimmous, Toronto, has an "Irishman" on 

 the string, also from Belfast. Particulars later. 



Mr. T. A. Wilgress, who recently sold Edgewood Fancy 

 back to Prank Dole, tells me he has a great brace out of 

 this bitch, which he hopes to show next fall. 



The list of dates for the Canadian fall circuit now reads: 

 Hamilton, Sept. 6 to 9; Toronto, 12 to Hi; London, 19 to 22; 

 Ottawa. 21 to 30, with Kingston and Montreal yet to hear 

 from. 



Major J. C. Guillot, Royal St. Bernard Kennels, Windsor, 

 has purchased a half interest in the Dudley Kennels, 

 Detroit. This includes an interest 5n Earl Douglas, a son of 

 Lord Bute, and bitches on either side of the line can now be 

 sent to him. 



Mr. H. W. Tools, Toronto, has purchased the fox-terrier 

 brood bitch Kismuth from Mr. T. G. Davey. London. She 

 is by New Forest out of Elora Nettle, and is in whelp to Suf- 

 folk Coronet. She was shown but once, some two or three 

 years ago, at London, when she was placed first in ptippy 

 class. 



The path of the St. Bernard breeder is beset with briers 

 and thistles. Mr. Frank Glass, of the Pottersberg Kennels, 

 London, tells me that from the union of Glenisla (first puppy 

 class Toronto and London 1890, and Toronto 1891) and 

 Refuge II., he had nine grand puppies, but. alas! all but 

 three have succumbed to the trials of babyhood. He had a 

 man with them night and clay, but unavailably. As the 

 three he has left are now four weeks old, he is in hopes of 

 pulling them through. The union of Phyllis and Kingston 

 Regent proved non-productive. 



Dr. Wesley Mills's new book "The Dog in Health and in 

 Disease" is having a big sale in Canada. I hear 150 copies 

 have, been sold in Montreal alone. 



A meeting of the Executive Committee of the Cauadiao 

 Kennel Club will be held in Toronto on May 7. 



The show committee of the Toronto Kennel Club met 

 April 9 and decided that classes for all breeds will be offered 

 for- the coming club show to be held May 7. One hundred 

 and fifty to two hundred dogs are expected to be benched, 

 and valuable special prizes will be offered for competition. 

 It will be purely a club show, confined to Toronto and sub- 

 urbs, Messrs, I, S. Darby and J« Kirk have been invited 

 to judge. 



Mr. A. T. Wilgress, Clarksburg. Out., has sent a brace of 

 bull-terrier puppies by Gully the Great out of Edgewood 

 Fancy to Supt. W. D. Breed, of Regina, Northwest Territory. 

 They stood the long journey well. 



Aline from Mr. F. H. F-. Mercer, Ottawa, tells me that he 

 is going South for his health, and on his return to Canada 

 will bring back with him the Psovoi bitch Lois, presented to 

 him by Mr. Wade. Lois is by Vladimir out of Princess 

 Irma and will be bred to Mr. Huntington's Argoss. 



Mr. C. A. Elliott, Ottawa, has bought, the mastiff bitch 

 Wacouta Rose, a frequent winner in the Western States, 

 i ndeed, I understand is in the challenge class if not already 

 ;i. champion, She is to be bred to Mr, Mercer's Eaufrid 

 (Baldur— Elgiva) H. B, Donotas\ 



DOG CHAT. 



THE executive committee of the American Coursing Club 

 in the Pearl of Pekin vs. Chicopee Lass matter, b as 

 sustained Mr. T. W. Bartels in his protest and have awarded 

 first money to Pearl of Pekin, thus reversing the decision of* 

 Judge Grace. The report is signed by Messrs. H. C. Lowe 

 and C. B. Page, and thus conveys the title of champion of 

 America. It will be remembered that in the final course at 

 the Great Bend meeting in October between the above- 

 mentioned dogs, Mr. Edwards, the owner of Chicopee Lass, 

 rode over Pearl of Pekin. Judge Grace, not seeing who it 

 was, gave the course to Chicopee Lass, whereupon Mr. Bar- 

 tels, the owner of Pearl, filed a protest with the Executive 

 committee which has finally been sustained. This ends a 

 controversy over a time-honored rule that admits of no ques- 

 tion, and should have been upheld from the first. Mr. H. C. 

 Lowe had the whole matter, he being a member of the ex- 

 ecutive committee, but withheld it, we are told, from all 

 other papers excepting the American Field, a piece of favor- 

 itism which, as an officer of the club, he had no right to 

 show. 



Mr. Joe Lewis writes us that "Any person who has been 

 writing to me in regard to dogs can still address me at same 

 place. I am no longer manager of the Mount Washington 

 Kennels, neither have I charge'of any of their- dogs; but the 

 kennels will still be run in charge of Harry and Mark Lewis, 

 who will have charge of all my dogs, such as setters, point 

 ers, beagles and Italian greyhounds." 



Messrs. Toon & Symonds write us that, their Kilstor and 

 Scotch Hot. won the special for best brace of Scotch terriers, 

 and not Mr. Brooks's brace, as stated in our last issue and 

 also so marked in the official catalogue. 



The Androscoggin Kennel Club, of Lewiston, Me., have 

 decided to have Mr. James Mortimer to judge all classes at 

 their show, May 17 to 19. Mr. Cartland is the secretary. 



The pointer bitch Nadjy of Naso, owned by Mr. Geo. H. 

 Holtham, Bangor, Me., is a prolific brood bitch, for in the 

 last three litters she has thrown 32 pups, 16 dogs and 10 

 bitches. She has just whelped at Mr. Robert Leslie's ken- 

 nels a litter of 11, 8 dogs, and Mr. Holtham has given Mr. 

 Leslie full control of the litter. 



Mr. Herbert G. Nichols's great Dane Melac was stolen 

 from Harry L. Goodman's kennel, at Auburn Park, 111., on 

 Friday afternoon last. Melac is one of the most interesting 

 great Danes in the country, and considered by many to lie 

 the best, though his only rival, Imperator, has more than 

 once, been put above him in the ring. Melac will be five 

 years old next October. He was brought to this country by 

 \lr. Flrieh, and exhibited at Chicago in 1889, where Mr. 



Nichol3 bought him as a pup. Melac, as well as his owner, 

 was very popular and well-known in the Windy City. That 

 there must have been some concerted plan to steal or make 

 away with the dog is obvious. At the time he was stolen 

 Mr. Goodman was at the Denver dog show. It is thought, 

 that, he has been taken to some other city as he is too well 

 known in Chicago to be hidden away for very long. The 

 police have been notified. Melac is a dark tiger brindle. 

 and because of his great height and size a very noticeable 

 animal, We sympathize with Mr. Nichols and trust that 

 he will soon hear something of his favorite. Melac was 

 recently illustrated in "Portraits of Dogs of the Day." 



There are several new advertisements this week; among 

 them we notice that Walter Tozier offers greyhound pups 

 for sale: J. Hellen, St. Bernard pup; No. 60, English setter 

 bitch: W. H. Martin, greyhound bitch: R. Carey, collie 

 bitch; 8. L. P., black and tan bitch. Woodhaven Kennels 

 want a greyhound bitch in whelD. We also draw attention 

 to the advertisement of the Eastern Field Trials Derby, full 

 particulars of which can be obtained from Mr. W. A. Coster. 

 Saratoga, N. Y. 



We publish this week an ill ustratioti of Mr. Geo. Bell's 

 noted cocker spaniel bitch champion I Say. This bitch was 

 whelped September, 1891, and is by Ch. Brant out of Daisy. 

 Her winnings include challenge' prizes at Rock ford, Free- 

 port, New York, Pittsburg and Boston. She will probably 

 be sent to England this summer to compete at the Kennel 

 Club and other shows. We also give an illustration of the 

 winning Boston terrier, at Boston, in 1891-92. Tumbler is 

 what is called a heavyweight, being over 20 lbs. He is by 

 Sport out of Daisy, but, the particulars regarding his birth 

 are wrapped in mystery. He is owned by Mr. John I. 

 Taylor, of the Boston Globe, Boston, Mass. 



Mr. N. Wallace, so well known to field trial men, has 

 been having a glorious time in Georgia and South Carolina 

 this past winter among the deer, turkeys, woodcock, quail 

 and snipe. Last week he returned to Connecticut, where at 

 his place at Farmington he will enjoy some trout fishing. 



Mr. Geo. Bell purchased Blemtou Edelweis when on a 

 visit to Hempstead. She is the dam ofthree first prize win- 

 ners at New York. Mr. Bell had her bred to Mr. Thaver's 

 Starden's King. 



The Omaha (Neb.) Kennel Club seems to have been or- 

 ganized on a solid foundation, judging by the list of officers 

 and members contained in a copy of the constitution and 

 bye-laws which we have received. They iutend to hold a 

 dog show soon, and if only a few more cities in thje west will 

 join, in time a, series of shows commencing at St. Louis could 

 take place that£would end with the California shows, and^so 

 make a paying trip for some of our best handlers. The 

 Omaha Club is incorporated with a capital stock of §2,500, 

 consisting of 100 shares of £25 each. The delegate to the A. 

 K. C. is Mr. W. F. Cadogan, tha secretary. 



Mr. A. H. Moore, of Philadelphia, although he has dab- 

 bled lately in setters and St. Bernards, has not given this 

 portion of his stock t he attention and money that he is de- 

 voting to horseflesh. He has made numerous high priced 

 purchases in trotters lately giving $"5,000 for Director not 

 long ago, and 810,000 and $14,000 for other horses; now he 

 has just purchased Can't Tell, a full sister to Axtell for a 

 big figure. 



They say some people are feeling nretty sore about that 

 Washington ride. 



If the idea that the A. K. C. officials have in view in regard 

 to a sort, of social club can be carried out, it is bound to fur- 

 ther the. interest of kennel affairs in both New York city 

 and its suburbs. The committee expects to secure a house 

 on Madison avenue, allowing the necessary rooms on the 

 ground floor for A. K. C. offices, and the remaining rooms 

 throughout the house to be arranged as a club, with buffet, 

 billiard room and parlors, and also have several rooms which 

 will be set apart as bedrooms for visiting dogrnen. Such a 

 club would tend to draw the dogmen together, and would 

 be a very acceptable arrangement for the kennel reporter in 

 quest of news. Another good point about it would be that 

 dogmen seeing more of each other than they do at present, 

 perhaps the cry of cliquism would not be heard so often. 

 The club is intended to be kept separate entirely from the 

 Associate membership; being run 3imply as a club with an- 

 nual dues of not more than -S25 per annum for resident 

 members, and half these dues for non-resident members, 

 The club will support itself, or is intended to do, and be in 

 no way dependent on the A. K. C. 



The out-door horse show to be held in New York city by 

 the United States Horse and Cattle Show Society will have 

 classes for packs of hounds with the whole equipment of 

 huntsmen and whips. This will be an interesting exhibi- 

 tion. Now that the Greyhound Club cannot get the hall in 

 Brooklyn for their intended show during Thanksgiving 

 week, would it not be a good idea for them to hold an open 

 air show after the manner of the English ones-' The pres- 

 ent idea of the Greyhound Club is to have their show in 

 Brooklyn during Christmas week. This will however bring 

 it dangerously near the W. K. C. show in the following 

 February. 



The Pet Dog Club at a meeting held April 13, decided to 

 hold a show duriDg Thanksgiving week in a hall in the 

 Madison Square Gardens. As far as we can learn it will be 

 for pet dogs only. 



The Newport Drag Harriers held a successful opening 

 meet last Wednesday. The hounds were imported by Mr. 

 Harry Astor Carey. There will be two meets a week until 

 May 20, when the hounds will be given rest preparatory to 

 the opening of the summer hunting season. One of the 

 meets will take place on Conanicut Island. Mr. Carey will 

 be the huntsman and Mr. F. M. Ware will be his assistant. 

 The kennels will be at Bryer's farm, which Mr. Carey has 

 leased for a term of years. 



We understand that Mr. Pybus-Sellou, the noted judge 

 and breeder of bulldogs in England, sailed from England 

 on steamship Etruria, which arrived April 16, for a short 

 visit to this country 



The Advisory Committee of the A. K. C. held a meeting 

 Wednesday morning, April 20, at Mr. August Belmont's 

 office. The matter of club rooms was the chieffsubject dis- 

 cussed, but as the house selected on Madison avenue could 

 not be rented for a club, the plans of the committee will 

 now be referred to the Executive committee that meets Mr y 

 19. No other business of importance was transacted, if we 

 except the discussion as to whether TurJ, Field and. Form 

 should be given a copy of the Stud Book for 1891 gratis. It 

 was decided they could have one by paying for it. 



Mr. Bartels having gained the verdict in the "Pearl of 

 Pekin Incident," probably feels somewhat elated, Mr. H. 

 C. Lowe attending the Denver show heard of this and issued 

 the following challenge: 



"From information derived from the local papers I under- 

 stand that the Bartels Brothers claim to possess in Pearl of 

 Pekin the champion coursing dog of America and a better 



bench show bitch than my Little Climber. At any coursing 

 I am willing to match against her on neutral grounds either 

 one or two dogs I own for any reasonable amount over $250." 



He also desires to match her in like amount as a bench 

 show dog. 



On Thursday night of the Denver show the gray wolf 

 Greeley was exercising in the ring when Mr. W.L. Washing- 

 ton, who had charge of the Hacke's dogs at the show, led 

 ZIoeem into the ring on chain. The wolf looked at the dog 

 and the dog looked at the wolf, and there was no "spasm." 

 They just looked. 



From an interesting story in Briti.sk Fancier we find that 

 Mr. W. J . Comstock's new purchase, the Irish terrier Merle 

 Grady, was hawked round Sunderland, Durham, one day, 

 when five and one-half months old, at a soverign ($5). A Mr. 

 Gurnett saw him under the seat in a sporting "pub," aDd 

 offering $10 for him secured a gigantic bargain, ehanged his 

 name, and the record of his subsequent winnings we have 

 already told. At the same time Merle Grady is a well-bred 

 one. 



Some one on this side has offered Mr. T, Stretch a price on 

 his crack collies Ormskirk Ormonde and Ormskirk Hilda, 

 but it is not known whether a deal has been consummated. 



Ottawa is to hold another show this year, Sept. 27 to 29, 

 the week following the London show. The committee are 

 Messrs. P. G. Keyes (chairman), Alfred Geddes, W. H. Mid- 

 dleton, H. Kirby, C E. Living, F. P. Rob3on, J. W. Wirtels, 

 L.N. Bate and F. H. Cunningham. Honorary members, 

 Dr. S. Wesley Mills, Montreal; T. G. Davey, London; A. D. 

 Stewart, Hamilton, and C. A. Stone and H. P. Donovan, 

 Toronto. Mr. Alfred Geddes has been appointed superin- 

 tendent, and with the experience gained at previous shows 

 he expects to improve considerably on the past. 



GLOVERSVILLE DOG SHO W.— Gloversville, N. Y.-AL
