FOREST AND STREAM. 



lis 



It is the generally accepted idea among tlmse who are 

 ignorant of the breed, that the ownership of a bulldog car- 

 ries with it something derogatory to one^s character. It is 

 simply a toiagh relic of old associations, for the btiUdog of 

 to-day is as much an animal worthy to he man's companion 

 as a St. Bernard or a mastiff. This is the way many estim- 

 able people think in England, and only kist week the 

 Majchioness of Staft'ord tried to bny the crack dog Forceps 

 from Dr, Benison, after it had won first prize at Newport, 

 Monmouthshire. 



In speaking of the death of Prince Regent and Scottish 

 Prince Fanciers' Gazette says: "Twenty years ago St. Ber- 

 nards were shown in condition: now they are exhibited like 

 fat prize piss, often unable to stand up during the process of 

 judging. Common sense dictates that this cannot be right, 

 and we have often referred to the matter before. The putti ng 

 on the fat, and the means that ai-e had recoiu-se to, to do so, 

 must lead to an unhealthy state of existence, and renders 

 dogs so treated susceptible to all sorts of diseases. Change 

 of climate and feeding soon show their effect, and iind out 

 the weak spot when the constitution is impaired." This 

 only bears us otit in what we have lately written on 

 this subject, which is one that will have to receive proper at- 

 tention "at the hands of Sfc. Bernard and other large dog 

 breeders. 



Mr. John Le\vis has sold the noted pointer Nick of Naso 

 to Mr. Homer B. Aldin for $350. This dog is well known on the 

 bench and in the field, and when we saw him the other even- 

 ing he looked fit to go in the ring any time. Nick remains 

 in Mr. Lewis's hands for the present. 



Before another issue of this paper the Canadian shows 

 will have commenced with Kingston. A word of waruiua 

 to exhibitors may not be out of place in view of the heat 

 we shall probably experience. Baggagemasters nowadays 

 have had more or less experience in taking care of 

 dogs in their cars, but it is better to be on the safe 

 side and make it impossible for a heartless baggage- 

 master to .so cover the crate that the dogs will be smoth- 

 ered. There is nothing better than a hamper or basket to 

 ship a dog in, but when these are not available have boxes 

 made in such a manner that it is impossible for trunks and 

 other boxes to be set so close that fresh air is excluded. 

 Allow the roof to lap over the sides and leave plenty of ven- 

 tilation space under the eaves and your dog will be safe. 

 Avoid overcrowding; better leave your dog home than lose 

 him for the sake of sa'S'lng a few dollars on expressage. Fa- 

 cilities for watering and feeding ,will of course suggest 

 themselves to every careful and humane owner of dogs. 

 The above notes are'suggested from reading the account of 

 the death from suffocation of one of England's best Bassets, 

 Mr. H. Jones's Fresco, on the way to Spa, Belgium show. 



Last week we noted exclusively that a crack bull-teriier 

 would shortly come to this country. Now we see by CanUic 

 World that champion Streatham Monarch has been pur 

 chased from Mr. Thompson by Mr. Toon, who sends him to 

 this country; in fact, he sailed Aug. 15. This dog made his 

 dehat at Manchester in 1890 when eight months old. and 

 just a year after at the same show he gained his champion- 

 ship. "Another bull-terrier, weighing 30lbs., called Cherub, 

 will also sail shortly to add strength to Frank Dole's crack 

 kennel. 



The same paper informs us that Mr. T. S. Belliu, a noted 

 fox-terrier breeder and occasional judge, was to come over 

 on the Teutonic with theiutention of settling in this country. 

 Mr. Bellm has bred many noted dogs, among them Rustic 

 Result. Rustic Rcystou, Merry Queen Rustic, and the novice 

 winner at Blackburn, Tin Foiler. The fox-terrier ranks 

 will be further strengthened by this gentleman's cliange of 

 country. 



We draw attention to our suggestion in another column 

 i-egarding the present state of things in the A. K. C. It is 

 time that thedog men came to their senses and reflected on 

 the harm that is being done to kennel interests by allowing 

 these suits to go on. The A. K. C. is laying itself open to 

 further trouble every day by allowing the sale of copies of 

 the Kmnel Gazette containing the alleged libels in the 

 printed list of disqualified members. In view of the inter- 

 locutory judgment rendered by Judge Maygan the other 

 day, it would seem the part of wisdom to hold these numbers 

 in abeyance until these suits have been decided. Every 

 copy sold constitutes a separate cause for a suit, and agents 

 are being senC to the A. K. C. rooms to buy the Gazette for 

 that purpose. But the club is either blind or will not see it 

 in the serious light that it strikes other men. ^Yhy cannot 

 a committee of representative men — breeders such as Messrs. 

 Thayer, Childs, Terry, Fay, Sears, Whiton, Dr. Perry, there 

 are lots of them — men in whom we all have confidence, be 

 agreed upon as a committee by the two parties, and let them 

 investigate both sides of the case and effect some com- 

 promise. If men are compelled, through fear of these suits 

 and the damages they may entail, to sell dogs and prop- 

 erty, how long is the associate membership going to last? 



Mr. J. H. Winslow, the popular pointer judge, in a friend ly 

 letter tolls us he has some good pointer pups coming on, and 

 that his little setter bitch Nellie Belton Is going to be a good 

 one. She is sister to Albert's Duchess, winner of P. K, G. 

 Derby last year, and Albert's Nellie that did so well at the 

 spring sliows. He has been spending a couple of weeks at 

 Rosemont, Pa., and havinga delightful time and surrounded 

 by lots of (iogs. He says: "I was killing a few bear, moose, 

 etc., in Maine for a while, but as nobody will believe it I 

 simply ignore their requests to furnish affidavits." 



Dr. Wesley Mills, of Montreal, Canada, is bringing out a 

 little book on "How to Keep a Uog in the City." The work 

 no doubt will be acceptable, as Dr. Mills will speak from 

 experience. 



A movement is on foot in Canada with the object of re- 

 moving the existing duty on thoroughbred dogs. At pres- 

 ent, since a law made in November, 18SS, all dogs imported, 

 except from Newfoundland, are dutiable. A letter from 

 Mr. Bowell, Minister of Customs, to Mr. S. F. Glass, secre- 

 tary of the Canadian Kennel Club, who is circulating the 

 petttion, states that nothing can be done this year, but if 

 tariff changes are made next year the subject will receive 

 attention. 



One of the regulations at Toronto mil be that only prize 

 cards of the Industrial Exhibition Association will be 

 allowed to be tacked up over the dogs in the stall, though 

 exhibitors may post a list of winnings if they wish. This is 

 a good move, for otherwise it misleads the public to a cer- 

 tain extent. 



Mr. Geo. Thomas will sail on. the Bostonian for Boston, 

 and among the new ones added to his team is the grey- 

 hound Bestwood Daisy, a brindle and white, and which won 

 at the Boston (Eng.) show over Lily of Gainsboro. As both 

 of these bitches will very likely belong to Mr. Purbeck, it 

 will be seen he will have a strong kennel of lougtails. Mr. 

 Toon has also purchased the bull-terriers Queeu of the Dale 

 and Common. The St. Bernard we spoke of as coming over 

 is Young Alton, and thoueh only fifteen months old he has 

 alreiidy done some winning, we believe, and is expected to 

 do well over here. Two new black and tau terriers are 

 Prince Raglan and Rosette, the labter being in whelp to 



champion Beaconsfleld. A wire-haired fox-terrier, Barton 

 Sting, is also in the string, and Mr. Mercer's Lady Belle, 

 the Clumber, will come over in Mr. Thomas'.s care, in whelp 

 to the noted Hot Pot, and we trust Mr. Mercer will have 

 better luck than usual. We were right after all in tlie sur- 

 mise that Jack Briggs, the Irish terrier, late the Western 

 Ambassador, would eventually find a home in the Salem 

 Kennels, He has beaten his noted sire and other Ambassa- 

 dors of note. We gave his winnings last week. Another 

 dog, Valley Boxei% is also in the list of coming ones, as 

 well as a smooth fox-terrier. To make room for all these 

 dogs the Anglo-American Kennels are enlarging their ac- 

 commodations. Some of the dogs that are owned by this 

 kennel will be left behind to win fresh laurels. As the 

 Canadian shows have not catered very well to the Irish 

 terrier breed, the bitches of this kennel will also be left in 

 England till ready for the New York show, when the ex- 

 hibit of Irish terriers will, we hear, be very large and of 

 great merit. 



At the Spa, Belgium, show Mr. Comatock's purchase, the 

 Irish terrier bitch Crate, had an easy win. Mr. Dole's bull- 

 terrier Hannah should have been there, but for some reason 

 did not turn up. 



An executive meeting of the National Beagle Club was 

 held Aug. 3'3. The meeting was called to order by Dr. W. A. 

 Power at 9 P. M. Minutes of last meeting were read and 

 accepted. Messrs. Brooking, Berry, Turpin and Rutter ab- 

 sent. Mr. W. S. Clark was selected as one of judges at the 

 N. B. C. trials this fall. It was then voted to lay the question 

 of another judge on the table. The date of the closing of 

 entries will be Nov. 1, and it was voted to get entry 

 blanks, etc., printed. A show of dogs entered will be held 

 before the dogs are run in the trials, and first, second and 

 third prizes in all classes will be given, the same jttdges to 

 jads!e both show and trials. Everything points to a success- 

 fitl meeting, judging from the communications received so 

 far. 



In the li^el case of Gallup vs. Belmont and others, for 

 publishing plaintiff's name in the disqualified list in the 

 American Kennel Gazette, the defendants have appealed 

 from the decision of the Special Term to the General Term. 

 Sept. 8 proximo has been set as the date on which their de- 

 murrer will be argued in the Towu Hall at Saratoga 

 Springs, N, Y., and it is expected a decision will be rendered 

 within a month afterwai-d. 



Through inadvertence the challenge Glasses for field 

 spauielsVere omitted from the premium list of the Mon- 

 treal bench .show. They have therefore decided to make 

 the classification for this breed the same as for Clumber 

 •spaniel.s, i. e., they will have class 54A, challenge dogs, with 

 $7 and diploma; :54B, challenge class for bitches, with the 

 same prizes.

TAYLOR'S CLEO FALSELY REGISTERED.-North 

 Tarrytown, N. Y. — Editor Fora<t and Stream: I wish to in- 

 form the party who purchased a pointer I)itch named Tay- 

 lor's Cleo from M. T. Mason, Northampton, Ma,ss., that they 

 have been badly imposed upon in regard to same bitch's 

 breeding. Mr. Mason claimed her to be by Pommery Sec— 

 Larnock Elsa, whelped May, 1889; breeder, F. E. Atkins, and 

 so registered in the A. K. C. Stud Book. As the bitch is not 

 by Pommery Sec— Larnock Elsa, and was not bred by F. E. 

 Atkins, I notified Mr, A. P. Vredenbuigh, secretary A. K. 

 0.,that the breeding claimed for Taylor's Cleo was false, 

 .and he has cancelled the registration. Larnock Elsa had no 

 puppies by Pommery Sec in 1889. Mr. F. E. Atkins, Water- 

 bury, Vt., now owns Larknock Elsa, having purchased her 

 froni me in January last, and I am in receipt of a letter 

 from him stating that be knows nothing of M. T. Mason or 

 of the hitch Taylor's Cleo, and adds that Larnock Elsa 

 whelped a splendid litter by Pommery Sec on the Sfch Inst.

ROCHESTER NOTES.— A late acquisition to the canine 

 community in this city is Jocko, a black and white setter, 

 by Kent, he by champion Count Howard out of Geno, she 

 by Sportsman, he by champion Gladstone. Jocko came 

 from the kennels of W^m. Blair, of Pontiac, Mich., and is 

 the property of Mr, Krug. W. H. Case, of Lockport, was 

 in towu to-day, and we met at the Flour City Kennels; he 

 is interested in pointers and English setters, and expects to 

 exhibit some of his dogs at the Canadian shows. Mr. 

 Krneger, of beagle fame, and Mr. Lee, of the Forest and 

 Stream, called at the Flour City Kennels last Saturday, 

 and complimented Mr. Pritchard on the form of the dogs 

 he will star with this season. Cardinal Beaufort continues 

 to improve and gives promise of great success on the bench,

RANGE AND GALLERY. 



AMERICA'S SCHUETZSNFEST. 



REPRESE^'TATt^TES fromall the Gfrman Schuetzen Bundsof New 

 York and Brooklyn mot Ans. hi the Nen-York Saengfrbunde 

 Hall, No. 12 St. Marks Place, to ronsider the arranaiements for the 

 great interuatioual shooting fostiv.ai wjiich it has been decided by 

 the German societies to hold ia i bis vicinity in 1S03, The meeting, 

 which numbered (!lose upon one hmidred delegates, was presided 

 over by Adolph Ludwig,' the President of the TTeited Association of 

 Schueizea Bunds. 



The committee of fluance reported that assurances had already 

 been received of substantial support which rendered it iiltogetber cer- 

 tain that the sum of $150,000, which it, was estimated would be reqmred 

 as aguarantee lund, would beforthcoming when it « as needed. M^ilb 

 this assurance as a basis, tha association deterrajued that the inter- 

 national festival should be held in the monib of July, 1S93, aud cover 

 as many weeks as might be necessary in order to give opportunity 

 tor the conlesting of the numerous bhooiing events which it is pro- 

 posed to put ou the programme. 



As this will be the first great festival of the kind projected by the 

 originators of the uuhertaking ever held in this country, it was decided 

 to defer flnai action as to the details of the afternoon for another 

 week. The scheme, so far as it has been outlined, contemplates a pro- 

 gramme of events which shall combine not only all the prominent 

 features of ihe national shooting festivals of the Fatherland but also 

 those of the famous Tir National festivals of Switzerland, together 

 with features of a distinctively American charaetei-. 



Champion shots from every part o( Europe will compete in these 

 contests with the experts of this country, and for cash prizes and 

 trophies aggi-egating not le^s than $60,000 in value. To accommodate 

 the great throng of entranls in the events, it is calculated tnat no 

 fewer than seventy shooting booths will be required and as many 

 ranges, all of which, in compUance with the conditions under which 

 the matches willbe shot, will have to be substantial covered buildings. 



A committee on site was appointed, with power to decide upon the 

 location of the festival grounds, consi.-^ting of Pi-esident Ludwig and 

 Messrs. G. Kuhlman, N. Beujimin, Louis Stich, I. Lurch, W. Weller, 

 B. Schirmer, Charles Harth, and the permanent oQieera of the asso- 

 ciation. This committee is to report at the nest meeting a programme 

 of events, together with a plan of the rules and regulations for the 

 governmeni of the festival. 



It was also decided to publish a paper durius: the period covered by 

 the festival, which shall give a daily record of the progress of the 

 shooting, the names of the prize winners, and such other information 

 as may be of int erest to the general public. This paper will be prmted 

 in German and Enirlish. 



Aug. JS — The Ke'.\ Tork Schuetzen Gilde, one of the oldest German 

 societies in this ciiy, held its annual festival and prize shooimg at 

 Washington Park lo duy. 



The officers are: E. Holtz, Captain: J. D. Piekescbied, First Lieu- 

 tenant; 11. Henke, Second l.ieutennnt: B. AS'imenuyer, Treasurer; H, 

 Weyh, Secretary, H. Storch, Orderly Sergeant, and J. Lurch, Target 

 Master. 



Winners at the king tai-get were; H, Storch, R. Henke, 0. Iba, B. 

 Wincermj^er and A. Stolzeuberg.
