SOME NOTED DOGS CHANGE HANDS. 



Editor Forest and Stream: 



I have disposed of fche greater part o£ my kennel of 

 Irish setters to Mr. E. B. Bishop, of Cincinnati, the owner 

 of the Glenmore Kennels and who is well-known as the owner 

 of a racing stable in which are some of Kentucky's finest 

 mnninfi horses, and I am happy in the knowledge of the 

 fact that my dogs have fallen into the hands of so thorough a 

 sportsman and appreciative a fancier as Mr. Bishop is known 

 o be. 



Owing to ill henlth and pressure of more important bus- 

 iness it was impossible for me to give my dogs proper atten- 

 tion, and unless one gives such matters close personal super- 

 vision, .as I have found it impossibleto do of lute, it is difficult 

 to attain satisfactory results. 



In this deal Mr. Bishop has auqnii'edthe celebrated setters 

 champion Ruby Glenmore, champion Molly Bawu, cham- 

 pion Winnie II., Sarsfield, Bess P., Dan Mylrea, etc., and I 

 have retained only the challenge dog Kildare and North 

 Blyth for my own private shooHng. It will be remembered 

 that Mr. Bis'hop purchased from me a short time since the 

 well-known challenge dog Beau Brummell, a son of cham- 

 pion Elcbo Jr. and a litter brother to Kildare, together with 

 Belle Anrea, and in this connection it maybe mentioned 

 that Belle Auvea has just whelped fourteen beautiful pup- 

 pies sired by Beau Brummell. With tbi.s string of dogs Mr. 

 Bishop no doubt owns the grandest collection of Irish setters 

 that have ever been brought together in this country, and bis 

 claim to now owning the "Champion Irish Setter Kennel of 

 America" is based on fact and not on bombast, for the Kil- 

 dare Kennels which wefe formerly composed of these dogs 

 have for the past two years reigned supreme on the American 

 show bench, having never suffered a defeat as a kennel and 

 met in competition all kennels of Msh setters under any and 

 all judges. They have never been defeated in the challenge 

 bitch class, in the puppy class, or for the brace prize, and 

 theyhavewon overthree-fonrtha of the open class flr.st prizes 

 for which they have competed, they have won the challenge, 

 open, brace and kennel priites at JTew York 1890 and 1891, and 

 it may be further added that the field merit of these dogs 

 will compare favorably with .any Irish setters in America. 



Mr. Bishop will, as soon as he has recovered from a recent 

 accident, remove to his farm near Los Angeles. California, 

 where he will locate the Glenmore Kennels, but he will send 

 his string through the Eastern circuit the coming .season in 

 charge of Joe Lewis, and I am confident that they will lose 

 none of their well-earned prestige. 



I will also mention that I am assisting Mr. Bishop in 

 further strengthening his kennels, and you may look out for 

 a big surprise in the neai- future. The Glenmore Kennels, 

 as have the Kildare Kennels, stand now at the top, and they 

 will maintain that position at any cost. Arrangements will 

 be made with one of our leading field trial handlers and 

 kennel men to take entire charge of the Glenmore Kennels' 

 Irish setters at I^os Angeles, which country I am informed 

 is full of quail, and they will be regularly represented at 

 the leading field trials as well as on l^he bench. It will also 

 be arranged for dratights of the young stock to be sent East 

 each season for disposal. In a word Mr. Bishop will leave 

 nothiug undone to further the true interests of the breed 

 and to maintain his position as the owner of such a good 

 kennel. 



As for myself, I shall not lose any of the interest I have 

 always had in the Irish setter and shall never be without a 

 few good specimens, and as soon as my health and business 

 will permit, shall again take a prominent part inbreeding 

 them. W. L. Washington.

ECZEMA. 



ICuntinued from page ASS.] 



IN some cases the disease is more or le-ss all over the body. 

 One part of the skin may be dry and scaly, another part 

 moist and discharging, due to the breaking of the vesicles or 

 pustules, while, perhaps, all along the back the skin is red, 

 inflamed and covered with pimples. 



In such cases a d og would have to be kept in a bath of lotion 

 for it to be of much service, for lotions are not of much use 

 without th ey are frequently applied and the skin kept damped 

 with it. Therefore, it is my practice, when the disorder is 

 spread over a large surface to dress the patient all over every 

 other nay during the first week, and then twice during the 

 following week witli some such mixture as the following: 

 1. Ca.stor oil. 1 



I STOWhelVpaVsiffin)::;: f^" equal proportions. 



4. (Jocoanut oil J 



This dressing should be mixed as foUosv;-!' One, two, and 

 three should be well mixed together; No. 4 should be melted, 

 and then added and well shaken up with the others. If there 

 is a difficulty ill getting the vegetable oil, olive oil maybe 

 substituted, but the former oil is much cheaper. W'hen 

 applying this dressing it is not necessary to rub it hard into 

 the skin, for by so doing the irritation is often increased, 

 but it should be gently smeared over the pai-ts. At the end 

 of the second week the dressing maybe removed by washing, 

 using a plain non-irritating soap, as curd soap, and plenty of 

 warm water. It is not often necessary to repeat this dressing 

 after a fortnight, but, in cases where there is much loss of 

 hair, it is a good plan to apply it all over the dog once or 

 twice a week for another fortnight or so, as it is a capital 

 preparation for stimulating the growth of coat. The above 

 mixture is also a very good and clean remedy for mange; 

 therefore, for amateurs, who are unable to decide between a 

 case of the latter disease and eczema, it is very useful. 



It is not necessary to give aperient medicines while these 

 oils are being used, as the dog is sure to lick himself, and 

 therefore will be sufficiently purged, but the arsenic, as re- 

 commended in my previous article, may be given, and if the 

 dog seems weakly from, three to ten drops of dialyzed iron 

 may be added to each dose. 



Chronic eczema generally assumes the dry or squamous 

 form of the disease, and the parts most frequently afl'eeted 

 in these cases is the skin around the eyes, the outside of the 

 flaps of the ears, the elbows, outside of the hock joints, and 

 the lower jjart of the back. The skin is very irritable and 

 the scratching pretty constant. 



Treatment: The four oils in most instances is a specific in 

 these cases, and it should be applied as previously recom- 

 mended for general eczema, but it is not always necessary to 

 use it all over the body, though when this form of the dis- 

 ease extends over a large surface it is a good plan to do so. 

 Sometimes, especially for house dogs, this dressing is ob- 

 jected to. In such cases the fixed oi 1 of petroleum maybe 

 used. This preparation has not quite .such an unpleasant 

 .smell as the four oils; at the same time, it is not so effectual 

 in its action. 



Another useful remedy in chronic dry eczema is the balsam 

 of Peru. It should be applied once a day to all the afl'ected 

 parts. This is a mce, clean, pleasant-smelling dressing, and 

 is particularly suitable for toy dogs, but the principal obstacle 

 to its general use is its cost. Chemhsts generally charge one 

 shilling an ounce for it. 



In some cases of a very chronic nature a mercurial dressing 

 is absolutely necessaty. 1 n such I have found the following 

 ointment useful: 



Red oxide of mercury ointment .,.ldr. 



Oil of tar ' . ....lOmns. 



Vaseline 6drs. 



"Well mixed. To be applieil twice a day. In all cases of 

 chronic eczema J arsenic .should be given for a lengthened 



period, but if in the course of a month or so the patient does 

 not make good progress under this treatment, phosphorus 

 should be tried. I have found the following prescription 

 for pills answer well: 



Phosphorated suet Sgrs. 



Reduced iron Idr. 



Compound tragacanth powder figrs. 



Powdered nux vomica lOgr-s^. 



Chloroform 8mns. 



Well mix, and add sufficient mucilage of gum acacia, and 

 divide into thirty pills. Cover with sandarach solution. 



Doses: Fox-terriers, etc., one x)ill twice a day: collies, etc., 

 one pill in the morning, two at niglrt; St. Bernards, etc., two 

 pills twice a day. Always given after feeding. 



The pills are also very "useful for simple irritation of the 

 skin when a dog keeps constantly scratching and where there 

 is pothing to be found on the skin to account for the irrit- 

 ation — a common complaint among dogs.

Mr. A. P. Vredenburgh we hear took a jaunt to Chicago 

 in the interests of the club in regard to its action toward 

 the World's Fair dog show. At the same time, to kill two 

 birds with one stone, he is doing detective work in Little 

 Rock. Ark., where the A.K.C. liete noir, Mr. Peshall, lived 

 along in the sixties. Such means to au end are, however, 

 hardly calculated to inspire one with au exalted idea of the 

 way in which the present campaign is being conducted. 



Mr. John A. Logan, Jr., sailed on the l§th for New York 

 from Liverpool, bringing one fox-terrier with him. 



The field trials of the Manitoba Field Trials Glnb will be 



held at Morris, Sept. ^3 and following days. Mr. J. M. 

 A vent, of Hickory Valley, Tenn., has been chosen as judge. 

 The entries for the Derby closed July 21, the All-Aged clos- 

 ing Sept. 10. 



At the meeting of the National Greyhound Club held at 

 Mr, Page's office, July 15, it was decided, after much dis- 

 citssion, to abolish the list of judges and work for the good 

 of the greyhound in general at shows, irrespective of who is 

 down to judge. It is, we hear, about decided that the A. 

 K. C. shall publish a greyhound stitd book, which will be 

 issued as a supplement to the regular stud book, but in 

 separate form. The National Greyhound Club to have full 

 control of the publication in regard to verifying and admit- 

 ting pedigrees. The fee proposed is, or rather the N. G. C. 

 be, fifty cents. This ai 



all ijoiuts and relieve the club of the bother and risk of pub- 

 lishing the book. We also hear that it is the intention of 

 several members of the cktb to go out to the coursing meet- 

 ing at Great Bend this fall, and to that end it is proposed to 

 charter a speciai car, for which arrangements are now being 

 made, so that the fares will come much cheaper than by the 

 ordinary way, the car being provisionad and used as a hotel 

 during the meeting as well. This is a good idea, and will 

 no doubt be well patronized by those who would like to see 

 some real coursing and enjoy a pleasant trip as well. Mr. 

 Watson has sent his Dryti me on to England to be mated 

 with a good coursing dog. She will have to wait there some 

 time, as she unfortunately arrived too late, her season hav- 

 ing iDassed. 



A movement is on foot to arrange for a substantial trophy 

 to be competed for at shows by American-bred St. Bernards, 

 The number of good dogs of this breed of both sexes now ia 

 the country makes such a trophy more than necessary, as it 

 will lead to competition that must result in improvement to 

 the native stock. Mr. Rieck is active in promoting it and 

 already has secured the promise of about $350; Col. Ruppert, 

 the Westminster Kennel Club and himself promising $100 

 each, and other lovers of the breed will no doubt soon chip in 

 the rest. The St. Bernard Club has already gone to consid- 

 eralfle expense iu the matter of medals, so this proposed 

 trophy will be raised by individual subscription. It is pro- 

 posed to have it rompeled for by St. Bernards whelped after 

 tlanuary, 1S9D. This will afford a good start for everybody. 



To put a dog to death expeditiously, a Mr. Esquilant 

 advises using chloroform on a piece of cotton wool applied 

 to the nostrils and mouth. Let the wool remain, covering 

 the head over with a heavy cloth to exclude fresh air, and 

 the animal at once dropping insensible, does not recover. 



The pack of hounds which has been used for drag hunts 

 at Newport, R. l,,in past seasons, has, we hear, been at- 

 tached for debt. There were some good hounds in this 

 pack, several of them having won prizes at different dog 

 shows, Roseville Rover, Major Warlock and Clonmel Rak- 

 i.sh being the best known of the pack. 



Mr. Gustave G. Pabst, of the noted brewing company of 

 that name in Milwaukee, has, wo are told, purchased a 

 third interest iu the Blue Ridge Kennels, of which Gath's 

 Mark is the head, and Mcssr.s. Herman Hallman, Jr., and 

 P. T. O'Bannon are also owners. 



A little I'i i-'i \vh ihfiers that puppy classes are bo be abolished 

 dt t;ho ne: i ' uster Kennel Club show, not, we believe, 



from any J . : ' uusideration for the puppies, but that 



their rijoijt i- Jiiore vrtluable than their company. This is a 

 wise move aud one that will .set a much-wished for example 

 to other clubs. At the same time, American kennel clubs 

 cannot claim the hoiioi- of abolisliing imppy cl.asses, for to 

 C.!anadiaus, and the Ottawa .sliovv ooinnntitoe in particular^ 

 is the honor due. In the case of t he W. K. C. the increased 

 number of cutrics uud the decreased aci:ouimodation at the 

 Gai'den makes such an arrangement imperative in view of 

 the dissatisfaction expre.sseti by those uuluoky enough to be 

 quartered in the "cellar" last February. Whatever the 

 cause, true lovers of dogs will hail with delight the con- 

 firmation of the report. Puppy classes are "of no benefit 

 anyhow, and but for them we should have had many more 

 good ones of every breed to show than we have now, for it 

 is not too much to say that fiO per cent, of puppies shown 

 during the circuit go home to die and drag down others in 

 thei)' -wake. 



,\t t1]c Kilkenny (Ireland) show, .after winning fir.st iu her 

 cla.ss, Mr. Geo. II. Knhl's Irish terrier latch Blue Stocking 

 was claimed at lier catalogue, ju-icu, ^^ih. by the Earl of Shan- 

 non. The Earl also pnrthased Glen Boy. giving $300 for him. 

 Tht'sc purchases make this gentleman's kennel about the 

 best ill 1 he -wor';.!. Thrre was ijuite a scene over the claiming 

 of 151 ue Stocking, sevei-al gentlemen claiming priority, but 

 the nobleman got the verdict. 



Vero Shawn's allusion in Sfoc7<-I)L'ce2?e?' to Satan, Mr. Ad- 

 cock's great Dane, reminds us of times when our knee joints 

 were not (]uite so stiff and a day on foot after the hounds 

 was an ordinary experience. We well remember Satan at 

 Hull show of 1876, for we were particularly fascinated with 

 the dog. Great Danes were scarce then in England, and es- 

 pecially such a "whopper" as he was. He w^as certainly a 

 most savage bnite, as Mr. Shaw remarks, though .somehow 

 Ave struck up a great friendship during the show, which led 

 a .stranger to ask us if we had anything to do with training 

 wild beasts. 



We regret to hear of the death of the good smooth-coated 

 St. Bernard Duke of Sparta, owned by Mr Thos. Burke, of 

 Bridgeport, Conn. This dog was one of champion Hector's 

 best get, was out of Spiranza and was whelped in 1888. He 

 had won ntimerous prizes, although not in any sen.se a 

 circuit trotter. His dam, Spiranza, died in parturition, and 

 Duke was the only pup saved out of a litter of seventeen. 

 Mr. Burke feels his loss very keenly, and everj'thing was 

 done for him that Dr. Hair, of Bridgeport, could advi.se. 

 Gastric fever, from a chronic derangement of the liver, was 

 the immediate cau.se of death. 



The premium list of the Ottawa show, to be held Sept. 39 

 to Oct, 1, is out with 68 classes provided. In the challenge 

 classes a prize of $5 is given for most of the priucijjal breeds. 

 In open classes the prizes are ^"t and $'d, with a certificate for 

 third prize. It is expected that numerous special prizes will 

 be given which will add considerably to the value of the 

 regular wins. I'lie judges have already been announced. 

 The entries close Sept. 2:1, the first day of the Montreal 

 show, which will take place the week before. We find a 

 handy reference after the list of premiums, in the list of 

 shows to occur, following out Mr. Stewart's happy sugges- 

 tion. Mr. Alfred Geddes, the superintendent, 29 Spark's 

 street, Ottawa, Canada, is prepared to answer all questions 

 regarding the show. 



Mr. Harrison has arranged for exhibitions of the new 

 pack of harriers he has brought over for the Pennbrook 

 E ant, oa the evenings of July 35 and 28, and the friends of 

 i He |j luit can arrange for the hounds to meet on their lawns 

 dunng the month of August. The opening meet for the 

 fall soason's hunting, au appropriate term by the way, will 

 be aljOLit .St'pt. l-j i:' the wea ther is cool enough. Drag hunts 

 will be held rhrnnuliont the Whil-e Marsh Valley, and those 

 who are fond of thi.s mimic fox hunting oxpeet to have fine 

 times before sucw Hies.
