DOG CHAT. 



IS the National Field Trials, which took place near 

 Shrewsbury, England, commencing April 36, there was 

 a gr^it scarcity of game, and with only an entry of eleven in 

 the first stake, it took all day to run it off. In the Pointer 

 Puppy Stake, Mr. Mawson's Blanch of Bromfield won first, 

 Messrs. Droy's Master of Meirelbeke. second, and Mr. Lowe's 

 Sir Thomas and Mr. Heywood-Lonsdale's Dice equal third. 

 In setter puppies the result was, Colonel Cote's Dash first, 

 Capt. Miller's Airnie second, and Mr. Wace's Ben thirds. 

 For the Acton Reynald Stakes, for aged pointers and setters, 

 fresh ground was tried at Moreton Corbet, and fortunately 

 game was a little more plentiful. We cannot fiud space for 

 more than tbe bare results. Dr. "Wood's setter Fred was de- 

 clared the winner of the setter prize, and was also the abso- 

 lute winner of the stake. Mr. Elias Bishop's Seno Don 

 Pedro being the winning pointer, with Mr. Heywood-Lons- 

 dale's Crab getting reserve for second best of either breed. 

 The other awards are not yet given in the English papers. 

 Tbe first day's meet of the Pointer Club Field Trials was 

 held at Llauypwl. Wales, and in the Pointer Puppy Stake 

 R G. Mawson's Blanch of Bromfield won first, A. P. Hey- 

 wood-Lonsdale's Mura second, W. Arkwright's Tapp third, 

 and F. C. Lowe's Sir Thomas of Kippen fourth. Judges 

 were Messrs. R. L. Purcell- Llewellyn and C. H. Beck. 



Messrs. Spratt have shipped for Mr. Lowrie, of Newcastle- 

 on-Tyne, a bull-terrier for Mr. Dever, of Peoria, 111. 



The "railroad dog" affords unlimited scope nowadays for 

 the newspaper writer. These dogs seem to crop up periodi- 

 cally, just like that fearful plant in South America we are 

 told" of that feeds on human beings, dogs, etc., the story 

 about which has been going the rounds for the past ten 

 years and not long since found its way into kennel papers on 

 both sides of the water, t he pi<-ce <lc reaistqrlCp "in this in- 

 stance of course being a dog. 



Mr. Geo. Paper, the English judge who was with us so 

 recently, does not have much time for rest. He writes a 

 Mend over here: "I am going to Amsterdam (Holland) 

 show next week. After that I shall be busy here, but at the 

 end of May I go to Berlin, Germany, to judge fox-terriers, 

 pointers, setters, spaniels and some other English breeds." 



Mr. Harry Twyford, who was so well and favorably known 

 as tbe manager of the Oriole Kennels of fox-terriers', has de- 

 cided to use the kennels that housed Mr. Logan's nogs, for 

 a boarding kennel. Mr. Twyford has the secret of keeping 

 dogs in good shape and he should soon be able to show a 

 full house. 



From all accounts Col. Rupperts recent purchases will do 

 the kennel some good. The name of one is Lady Ainia, by 

 Watch out of Countess of Grafenried, by Ch. Angelo. She 

 is well marked and stands about 29in. at the shoulder, with 

 good bone and is very active. She is not in very good shape 

 just now. as she weaned a litter before sailing and was sea- 

 sick coming over. She was whelped March 11, 1890, and was 

 bred by Mr. Harvey, of Lincolnshire. The others, Countess 

 Madge, a litter sister to Marvel, by Cb. Pouf out of Mossy, 

 stands 30in. at shoulder and is exceptionally well built, and 

 Mr. Booth writes us that "next to Princess Florence tbe 

 most massively built bitch he ever saw," with a capital 

 head but lacks markings. She was whelped Feb. 10, 1889. 

 Though Dounybrook Fan, that Col. Ruppert had au eye on. 

 has a capital head, his legs are not at all as they should 

 be; that gentleman was perhaps wise in leaving him on the 

 other side. 



Mr. A. W. Purbeek has been very ill but is now on a rail- 

 way to recovery, and perhaps the knowledge that his favorite 

 greyhound Bestwood Daisy, that won so many prizes during 

 the spring circuit, whelped nine pups by his unfortunate 

 dog Ornatus. may hasten bis convalescence. Ornatus, with 

 whose serious accident we acquainted our readers some time 

 since, though coming into a strong condition, will never 

 appear again on the bench or run another race, though as a 

 sire he no doubt will be able to prove his worth. Seventeen 

 entries from the Anglo-American tribe will journey under 

 George's care to Lewiston show this week. 



Mr. W. L. Washington, of Pittsburgh, Pa., of Irish setter 

 and recent wolf coursing fame, traveled over the Rockies and 

 was a visitor at the San Francisco dog show. The Pacific 

 Field Sports issued a very neat supplement containing half 

 toned pictures of several of the prize winners at the San 

 Francisco show. 



The reason a dog can look so knowing is because he cau't 

 say anything to spoil the effect. — Springfield (Ohio) Farmer. 



From all reports kennel club affairs in San Francisco are 

 not as rosy as they might be. The Pacific Kennel Club has 

 been overshadowed for some years by the California Ken- 

 nel Club, but there seems to be widespread dissatisfaction 

 with the way things are run in that club and a number of 

 members have resigned and gone over to the "enemy." 

 Sixty-four new members will join the Pacific Kennel Club; 

 seventeen of this sixty-four joined on Friday last; among 

 them were such men as Mr. Fred Webster, president of tbe 

 Country Club: J. M. Kilgariff, secretary of the Pacific Coast 

 Field Trials Club, and, as our correspondent writes, "a 

 number of other wealthy men who will just make things 

 hum." 



Mr. Hobbie, who has forsaken his old love and is de- 

 voting his attention to its more handsome (?) cousin the bull- 

 dog, will be sorry to hear that his old winner, the bull-ter- 

 rier Spotless Prince, died in California last week. His death 

 was caused by a beating he received at the hands of a man 

 who was exercising him. 



The following gentlemen, Messrs. J, M. Tracy, of Hemp- 

 stead, L. I.; N. Wallace, of Farmington, Conn., and W. S. 

 Bell, of Pittsburgh, Pa., have consented to judge the various 

 stakes to be run in the Central Field Trial Club's trials at 

 Lexington next fall. 



In our business columns this week will be found particu- 

 lars of the Central Field Trial Derby. As usual, it is 

 divided, and the Pointer and Setter Stakes have each 8100, 

 ?250 and §150 as prizes, with §100 additional to the absolute 

 winner. Entries close June 1 with Mr. C. H. Odell, 44 Wall 

 street, New York city. A forfeit of *10 accompanies the 

 nomination, £10 is payable Aug. 15, and then £10 to fill. 

 Other stakes will be announced later. 



A little girl, in order to prove that it is wrong to cut off the 

 tails of hor-es and dogs, quoted the Scriptural injunction, 

 "What God hath joined together let no man put asunder." 

 — H ousekceper''s WecM 1 1 . 



Mr. George La Rue, secretary of the Pointer Club, writes: 

 "My duties as general manager of the Crocker- Wheeler 

 Electric Company, of New York, necessitate my being "on 

 the wing" nearly all of the season, and the demands upon 

 niy time are so heavy that I have deemed it advisable to 

 resign the offices of secretary-treasurer of the Pointer Club 

 of America. All books, papers and cash have been delivered 

 to Hon. John S. Wise, the able vice-president, who will at- 

 tend to club correspondence, etc.. pending the election of 

 ray successor." 



Mr. Mortimer arrived in New York from the West on 

 Sunday night and came straight on to Lewiston. He left 

 San Francisco last Friday week, but was delayed by wash- 

 outs. 



Every one has heard of the celebrated calf case that cost 

 so many thousands of dollars before it was settled, and a 

 recent suit in which a dog was the principal bone of con- 

 tention has cost far more money to contestants than the 

 merits of the case demanded. The case was dismissed last 

 month, and the court assessed one-half of the costs against 

 each litigant. Tbe costs in the case, outside of the attor- 

 ney's fees, amounted to 8500, The dog was worth $1.50. 



Tbe following "exemplar" appeared in the Herald last 

 Sunday: "An exceptionally bushy exemplar of young 

 full-bred English setter, very valuable, for sale, cheap, etc." 



Mr. Washington A. Coster will judge at the Philadelphia 

 field trials. 



Tbe Canadians seem to have mad Q a great commotion over 

 a very small matter in the CHse of Mr. Mercer's disqualifica- 

 tion. In the first place it was ill advised on "Mount 

 Royal's" part to write to tbe Canadian Kennel Gazette a 

 letter which simply prejudged the case. There was no fraud 

 committed by Mr. Mercer, and after his ample apologies and 

 taking all the circumstances of the case into consideration, 

 though we do not defend his action, a reprimand or censure 

 such as the Spaniel Club indulged in, or at the very outside 

 a short period of suspension should have satisfied justice in 

 the case. 



The Menthon Kennels' St. Bernard Lord Bute died of 

 pneumonia last Friday.

ANSWERS TO CORRESPONDENTS. 



C. E. C, Elizabeth,* W. Va.— We do not keep foxhounds: consult 

 our advertising columns. 



N. S. E., Middlesborough, Ky.— Give two grains of santonine 

 three times a day for two days, afterwards ."give a dose of castor 

 oil. The hiccoughs arise probably from stomachic derangement, 

 feed on soft food and give exercise. 



H. R.. Saginaw, Mich.— Please prescribe for my four. year-old 

 getter dog which is troubled as follows: After a day's hunt be 

 coughs the next morning and continues it for two or three davs. 

 and then the cough disappears. For the past two months his left 

 eye discharges more or less. He eats well and appears to be per- 

 fectly healthy. Ans. Rub the throat with camphorated oil two or 

 three times a day, and see that he is kept out of draughts. Drop 

 morning and night a solution of one part nitrate of silver to 

 thirty of water in the eye till the running stops. 



C. E. C. Pullman. III.— 1. Is the mastiff dog McCormick. owned 

 by E. M. Paulson, Mavville, N. D., registered in the A.K.R , and 

 if so, what is his number? 2 L" not registered is he eligible to 

 registration in the A.K C.S.B ">, 3. W-uld his get from a regist- 

 ered bitch (registered. in the A.K.C.S.B.) be eligible to regif tvation f 

 Ans. L No. 2. Not unless he can show a pedigree of three gener- 

 ations back or is from registered parents. 3. Not unless he him- 

 self was registered or eligible for registry. 



Setter, Chatham, N. S.— I have a setter dog about 11 months 

 old, that frequently passes bloody matter with his stools. He has 

 been quite thm, but is coming up quite fast although the trouble 

 does not decrease apy. He seems to fee 1 perfectly well and shows 

 no signs of sickness, although I think he is easily tired. Kindly 

 inform me what is the cb use of the trouble. Ans. Piles probably: 

 feed relaxing food, oatmeal and milk, boiled liver, plenty of 

 vegetables, etc. Sulphur as a laxative is also advised, given in 

 the food. Give only gentle exercise till all signs of blood disap- 

 pear. 



Nimrod, Milwaukee, Wis.— 1. Can you give the name of a book 

 treating about beagles and their training, one which treats ex- 

 haustively on the subject? 2. How are dog shows run and what 

 rules prevail? 3. Where can we get the rules prevailing at dog 

 showf? 4. Can ynu give us some information as to the best 

 beagleF, names and owners. 5. Are the Associated Fanciers a re- 

 liable firm? You will greatly oblige us by answering these ques- 

 tions. An?. 1. Vero Shaw's "Book of the Dog" and also ''The 

 American Book of the Dog." The former treats the subject very 

 exhaustively. 2. A bench show committee is first formed, whose 

 duty it is or should be to apply to the American Kennel Club for 

 admission, claiming dates for the show, inclosing $10 with the 

 application, which in your case could not be acted up n bv the 

 club till the next quarterly meeting in September. The bench 

 show committee arranges t h e premium list, which can easily be 

 done by referring to a premium list published by some other club. 

 A date for closing entries is then setuled upon. A superintendent 

 who has had experience with bench Bhows should be engagf d and 

 a competent judge or judges secured, whose names should, if 

 possible, be published in the premium list. A suitable building 

 should be secured, and for a moderate sum per day Spratts 

 Patent will bench and feed the dogs, or this can be done by tbe 

 club itself. These are the principal points to be arranged before- 

 hand, the rest the superintendent will attend to. aided as he ought 

 to be in every poss'bie manner by the bench show committee till 

 the show is over and the last dog has been shipped home. These 

 are the main essentials, though a perusal of the premium list 

 of the Westminster Kennel Club will give you more poin's ihan 

 our limited space will allow us to do. 3. From A. P. Yredenburgh, 

 14 Broadway, New York. 4. Consult our advertising columns. 5.

Mr. Norris, of Iceboro, while working near the river, last 

 winter, heard the baying of a hound in the camp-meeting 

 woods, and supposed that a fox-hunting party was abroad. 

 A minute later the fox appeared; he crossed the railroad 

 track and ran on to the ice at the top of his speed, heading 

 directly for the hole in the ice. Mr. Norris thought he 

 would run into the hole and be drowned. But such a finale 

 was not down on reynard's programme. On arriviog at the 

 hole in the ice he turned back, and. doubling his track till 

 he reached the railroad, and turning down that, which runs 

 at right angles with his own track, he ran several rods, then 

 sat down to wait and watch. He had but a few moments to 

 wait before the hound appeared in hot pursuit of the scent. 

 The dog, with his nose to the snow, kept on across the rail- 

 road track on to the ice, and straight for the hole where rey 

 nard bad turned back. As is well known, hounds trust to 

 their keen scent rather than to their sight, and when the dog 

 arrived at the end of the trail his momentum was too great 

 to stop short of the hole in the ice, and with a fareAvell yelp 

 he disappeared into the swift current of she Kennebec, never 

 to re-appear. Whether reynard smiled is he trotted leisurely 

 off is not known, but can be imagine!. — Augusta (foe.)
