FOREST AND STREAM. 



57 T 



of May 19, in which he says of all the large acquaintance he 

 has among those interested in beagles he knew of only two 

 (Mr. Phoebus is one) that favor a 16in. limit. I am afraid 

 Mr. Phoebus will not get Dr. L. H. Twaddell to agree to 

 have 3in. difference in the two sizes if the smaller class is 

 now made at 13in., as I met Dr. Twaddell a day after he 

 had received his Forest and Stream of May 19, and we 

 had a long talk upon the subject of the change. He said 

 he was glad to see the stand I had taken, and all who have 

 written upon the subject agree it was for the interest of the 

 breed to not change. He also admires Mr. Krueger's article. 

 Mr. Phoebus need not try to enlighten me on beagle mat- 

 ters; I got my information from those who are entirely dis- 

 interested. He asked how I acted when the change was 

 made from 12 to 13in.: I wish to inform him I was not a 

 member of the club at the time and took no action what- 

 ever. 



The article I wrote and with which he finds fault was 

 written in reply to a request for my opinion on the letter he 

 wrote, and I am still of that opinion.

FLAPS FROM THE BEAVER'S TAIL. 



Toronto, Can.— Mr. W. H. Middleton, Mr. Mercer's part- 

 ner in the Clumber Kennel, has felt compelled to tender his 

 resignation to the Ottawa committee, which body has re- 

 ferred the matter to the C. K. C. Mr. Middleton acted 

 under Rule XXV, which reads, ;i The partners in the ken- 

 nel will be deemed equally culpable in the case of fraud 

 perpetrated in the kennel name." Mr. Middleton had no 

 personal knowledge of the transaction. 



Mr Wrn. McDonald, Hamilton, has lost by death the red 

 cocker dog Red Jacket. As he refused 3L50 for him a month 

 ago he is just that amount out, and now wishes he had ac- 

 cepted the offer. 



Mr. H. P. Breay, also of the 'AAmbitious City," who owns 

 a kennel of St. Bernards, has bought a Great Dane bitch 

 from Dr. Nicolai, of Detroit, as the nucleus of a kennel of 

 this breed. She will be bred to Favor. 



My abominable fist has caught me tripping again. In the 

 paragraph in last week's "Flaps" relating to the Oatario 

 Collie Club, last line, the word the should be ten, "there 

 were fifty bench show entries and ten entries for the trials." 



H. B. Donovan, 



There are several new notices of dogs for sale in our bus- 

 iness columns this week. Shabbona Kennels offer broken 

 pointers and setters; Edward Booth several valuable St. 

 Bernard bitches: C. E. Stanley, English setter; L. M. 

 Wooden, foxhound pups; H. G. Arnold, cocker spaniels; 

 Dr. H. C. Deane, fox-terriers: F. H. Perry, broken Irish set : 

 ters: A. and M. Spaniel kennels, prize cocker and field span- 

 iels; A Laidlaw, fine cocker spaniels; Oak Grove Kennels, 

 Irish setter pups and have also their noted dogs in the stud. 



DOG CHAT. 



At a meeting of the New Jersey Kennel League held at 

 the Continental Hotel, Newark, N. J., on Friday evening, 

 last, the following officers were elected: President, Edward 

 H. Radel; Vice-President, Dr. Edwin Field; Treasurer, Ed- 

 ward R. Christopher; Secretary, E. H. Johnson, and an . 

 Executive Committee composed of the president, secretary, 

 treasurer, W. O. Kuebler, Edwin H. Moms, T. Farrar Rack- 

 ham, E. A. Dillhoff and Frank Link, with power to increase 

 to fifteen and elect two more vice-presidents, representing r 

 different sections of the State or kennel interests, in order 

 that the League may be thoroughly representative. There- 

 were upwards of forty members elected at this meeting, in- 

 cluding Mr. Kuser, one of Governor Abbett's staff; G. H 

 Muirhead, secretary of the Inter-State Fair; Rowland P". 

 Keasbey. secretary of the American Spaniel Club: ex- Alder- 

 man M. A. Hanckett and many other well known dog met 

 and representative citizens, and as there is also a young am- 

 bitious element forming a desirable combination, besides 

 the whippet racing interests, there seems to be a great career, 

 of usefulness for the League. The secretary and treasurer 

 were appointed to get the constitution and by-laws in print, 

 and to circulate them among the sporting and kennel 

 devotees throughout the State, and Mr. Christopher was • 

 also instructed respecting the incorporation. The League is 

 already in communication with the different fair associa- 

 tions for bench shows, sheepdog trials, whippet racing and 

 other events, and as it proposes taking in hand the laws and 

 regulations upon dogs in force throughout the State and" 

 different cities, to, insure that they shall be not only equita- 

 ble, but humanej there is plenty of work in view for the- 

 executive officers. This committee has been invited to hold - 

 their first meeting at the residence of the president, who is 

 known in connection with a very typical St. Bernard which 

 he exhibited at the spring shows and whose wealth enables 

 him to take up his duties in an open-hearted, enthusiastic, 

 as well as a liberal manner. The names of those wishing 

 to become charter members may be sent to any member of 

 the executive committee. 



In the Constitution and By-Laws of this League we find?' 

 that the initiation fee for charter members is $2 until a cer- 

 tain date to be decided upon later, when $5 will be charged,- 

 this amount to be paid within thirty days from date of elec- 

 tion. The annual dues are now $3 to charter members. 

 Charter members can become life members on payment of 

 $20 or become such after twelve years membership. For 

 other than charter members the fee will be $25. 



Among the St. Bernards offered by Mr. Booth in our 

 business columns is Lady St. Gothard, by Gothard. III., that 

 was in this country a few years ago, ex Saffron. Lady St. 

 Gothard was recently imported and is described as a very 

 handsome typical bitch. Mr. Booth has sold his recent 

 purchase, Kinglimmon, to the Gody Pub. Co., of New York, 

 to be delivered at the end of July, when||Mr. Con-Auuis, the 

 advertising agent of the company, will make use of the dog 

 in a rather novel manner to draw the attention of the 

 public throughout the country to the merits of the maga- 

 zine. 



Empress of Contoocock was due to whelp last Sunday. 1 

 She was bred to Aristocrat and the result, we learn later, • 

 was only one pup. Baroness Cardiff was also bred to Aris- 

 tocrat, and Lady Gladys will also shortly visit the lord of '■ 

 the harem. 



The Kingston (Out.) Kennel Club have after all fallen into 

 line and will hold their show Sept. 19 to 22. The circuit 

 this fall now reads: Hamilton and Rochester, same week. 

 Toronto; Kingston and Grand Rapids; finishing at Ottawa. 

 If the Hamilton and Rochester clubs do not adjust their 

 difficulties both shows will surely suffer, for neither is so 

 firmly established as to defy competition. 



The Mount Holly (N. J.) Fair Association will add a dog . 

 show to the many attractive features of their popular 

 gathering. Mr. John E. Diehl will superintend. The show ' 

 will be held Sept. 12 to 16. The prizes will be, champion 

 class, $10 gold medal, and a $10 silver medal, and diplomas 

 m open classes. Entries close Sept. 1, with an entry fee of 



It strikes us that the N. B. C. committee is going ahead' 

 a little too fast in the matter of laurels for Frank Forest. 

 Good dog as the latter is, and probable as it was that he 

 could, in the 1890 trials, have beaten anything on the 

 ground at the time, the title of "absolute winner," that the 

 K. B. C. committee would confer on him. was not won by 

 him, as no such title was in vogue at that time. That he 

 won the special for best in all classes by default of others is 

 admitted. Belle Ross, winner of under 13in. class, her 

 owner not thinking her good enough, was withdrawn and 

 Tone, winner of the bitch class under loin., being in heat 

 was also withdrawn, thus leaving a clear field lor Frank: 

 Forest. The only honors, through actual contest, that 

 Frank Forest won were first prize in the class A for dog* 

 loin, or under and special for best dog or bitch of all classes, 

 for which he had a walkover; and as far as we can find hi* 

 owners, the Forest Beagle Kennels, never claimed anything 

 more for him in their advertisements. ' r -£f 



A good many people have a dread of physicking dogs and - 

 sooner than bother with the different remedies that maybe : 

 prescribed by a doctor, often allow the dog to get well or die 

 as best he may. These people should therefore hail with 

 delight a remedy that is at once easy to administer and 

 efficacious. Sergeant's Condition Pills are too well known 

 to need any praise from us, but those who would like to 

 know in what estimation they are held by dog owners should : 

 read their advertisement in our business columns. 



The mastiff bitch Lady Caution is dead. She was owned - 

 by David Woodson, Philadelphia, Pa., and was one of the- 

 best of the breed in that city. She had won several prizes 

 including a first at the late Keystone Kennel Club show. 



The Seminole Kennels have purchased from the Kildare 

 Kennels the young Irish setter dog Troubadour, winner of 

 third in the open and first in the novice classes at the Pitts- 

 burgh show this spring. He is by Murdo ex Mirtie, and ii- 

 qmte a promising young dog, and will, together with the 

 Seminole Kennels' already strong team, make comp etition 

 in the fall shows very interesting for the others in this 

 breed. Champion Tim and Laura B. are said to be in excel- 

 lent condition and just about as active as ever. Troubadour 

 has been renamed Merry Monarch. — 



Mr. Frank Seabury, master of the Myopia Hunt , Boston" 

 Mass., makes, through our columns, a very sportsmanlike 

 offer in the interests of sport and breeding. His h ounds are 

 from some of the best packs in England, the Warwickshire 

 and Lord Egglestone's (Scotland). They are bred for the 



drag." for which he requires exceptionally fast, strong 

 large hounds, and many of those he breeds do not come up 

 to his standard, but are just as good for hunting foxes, and 

 in fact better than the headstrong ones. As there are 

 probably no better bred hounds in the world th an these 

 Mr. Seabury thinks that perhaps there are some breeder* 

 who would like to get the blood, though the specimens are 

 not of the best though sometimes he has very fine ones 

 which will not run a drag. He will, therefore, be pleased to 

 box such hounds and send one or two to any reputa ble mac 

 who will give them a good home, and when finish ed with.
