FOREST AND STREAM. 



LSept. 10, 1891» 



GOEDOW SETTERS. 

 In challenge dogs the Doctor rather put the cart before the 

 horse, as iTanhoe is a better Gordon all around than his 

 liennel mate, LieoB., in head and coloring. A cla-sa was 

 made for Duchess of Wavevly: she is well known. In the 

 open dogs first was with held and .second given to a black and 

 tan dog with little pretensions to type. In bitches, a young 

 daughter of champion Tvittle Boy. Lady Waverlj% was given 

 the only prize and that fir.st. She is throaty, lias a poor 

 muzzle and will hardly come up to the mark generally. 

 Com. was given to Bloom, why one can hardly teU, as she 

 had a front as wide mid of the shape of a barrel, with no 

 redeeming point. This gathering of Gordons is not by any 

 means as good as we shall rery likely see later on. 



POINTEHS. 



Several well-known animals were seen on the benches in 

 this breed, and until the judge divided the dogs into their 

 respective classes, according to weight, it was hard to separ- 

 ate them. In heavy challenge class the well known Belle 

 Randolph had things to herself; she was looking in nice 

 condition. In light weights Pommery Sec took^the dog 

 prize, and his new kennel companion that for bitches. As 

 only diploma cards were given in the challenge class this 

 liberal division did not affect the club financially. A sim- 

 ilar division was made in the open dogs, where the struggle 

 in heavy-weight dogs proved to be between Tempest and 

 King Bow's Bow, and the .iudee, being imable to decide, 

 placed them equal, whereas Tempest can, barring headj, 

 give away a few points and win. Ossining and Dash fought, 

 it out in the light weight dogs, and the well-known Ossin- 

 ing's defeat of the others was never in doubt, as Dash, 

 given second, is lathy, poor in pasterns and feet. The sweet- 

 headed Lady Graphic won easily in bitches over Moss, the 

 former has many prizes to her credit; Floss shoiild not have 

 had a cai'd, as her mi.serable hindlegs, like clothes props, 

 .should have put her out, not to mention her poor feet. With 

 the exception, therefore, of several well-known American 

 dogs, and Mr. Corbett's dogs, the pointer classes were a 

 failure. 



(iKEAT DANES. 



Thei'e was only one shown, and it created considerable 

 local interest, as the Kingstonians are not accustomed to 

 the breed. Minerva's Fawn is nicely made in body and legs 

 but her head has not strength or character enough, and is 

 snipy in mi\zz\e, but she is a pretty animal withal, and is a 

 daughter of Don Caesar, the cream-colored dog that won so 

 many prizes some few yeav.s since. 



CLTJMBEE SPANIKLb— (A. ttEDDES). 



There were seven Clumbers entered, and Mr. Geddes had 

 not much trouble in placing them. In challenge class Boss 

 III. was alone. In open dogs a nice typical dog, Darby, won 

 somewhat easily from Johnny, Jr., that will be remembered 

 as winning so often in the spring circuit, he is beaten in 

 head, front and body by the winner. La Grippe was absent. 

 In bitches Lucy 11. was properly placed at the head of 

 affairs: is better in head and body than \nc, second, who 

 might have given way to Lady Joan, as she is long in head, 

 weak in pastern, and body .should be deeper. 



FIELD AS'D COCKEE SPANIELS— (DE. MILLS.) 



Saybrook Dolly, the only entry, was absent. In open dogs 

 first was withheld and second given to a bad fronted dog 

 called Jack, faulty in muzzle and eyes, but possessing a fair 

 body; the others were just ordinary long-legged .specimens. 

 The' field spaniels in Canada are not by anj^ means on a par 

 with the cockers in regard to merit. In cocker spaniel 

 challenge class, Ch. Rabbi was placed over KingofObos. 

 Both are well known and the decision was right. In open 

 dogs Oban should have given way to Obadiah, as he is very 

 bad in front, and loses to the other in loin and quarters. 

 Rex Obo, third, is too long in body, knuckles OA^er, 

 turns her feet out, and is too long in muzzzle, nice coat. 

 TimObo, vhc, has a too domy skull, a dachshund front, 

 and is iindershot, body, quarters and coat good. Major is 

 too big; will be a field spaniel very shortly, is wavy coated 

 and muzzle is not square enough. In the bitch class, I Say, 

 though out of coat and light in body, shows a great deal of 

 cocker type. She is a trifle long in head, good straight 

 front; just recovering from a bad attack of distemper. She 

 is hardly fit to show yet. Dot Srairle, second, turns her 

 feet out "a bit, has a nice head, although a trifle long; is 

 faulty in loin and quarters. Vic, thirdTis a bit on the leg, 

 nai-row fronted, aiui too large sized. Corinue, reserve, has 

 light eyes, is flat sided, but fairly good otherwise. Busy, 

 vhc, ought to have run Dot Smirle close for second 

 money, as she is more of a cocker, her skull is a bit domy, 

 but she has a nice front and body. Floss Obo, he, is a bit 

 .sharp muzzled, nice body, legs and feet; might have been 

 placed higher up. In otlier than black dogs, Rufus, the red 

 one, had an easy win over Jacco, who was given vhc, 

 a miserable specimen, undershot an eighth of an inch, with 

 little type about it. In bitches, Lady of Learning was 

 transferred to challenge class, and we are told, not "being 

 counted good enough, was given only second. This 

 bitch is a typical little cocker, and beats the others all to 

 pieces. Tottie, first in the regular class, has a poor head, 

 but is well off on the leg, and is a good specimen of the 

 rough and ready working type. Lou R, is young yet, 6 

 months, long in head, needs time in body. In the novice 

 class, I Say took another ribbon, Tottie coming next. 

 Ma.jor, third, has a field spaniel head, and is leggy. 

 Wanda, he, is a bit undershot, has not depth of body 

 enough, and has a film on one eye. The cocker spaniels 

 made a good .showing considering the distance from the 

 headquarters of the breed in Canada. 



COLLIES. 



Ooe cannot feel complimented on the class of collies shown, 

 and but for the Seminole Kennels, which had a sort of third 

 string here, there would have been little quality. In chal- 

 lenge dogs Rcslyn Dandy, looking in good coat,' was alone, 

 and Rowdy, from the same kennels, despite his lack of coat 

 and indifferent body and relying on his long clean head, was 

 nicely ahead of the local dog, Bob, who is a bit coarse in 

 head, lacks undercoat, but is fair otherwise: Ross has a 

 better head than the second prize winner but ears are carried 

 flat to skull, a la fox-terrier, he also lacks undercoat, and 

 coat is very open. In bitches Cora II. had an ensy win, 

 though she herself is not a good one; second was withheld 

 and one or two very bad ones turned out; Sadie took third, 

 she is a blue merl,' carries her ears well, though they are 

 too big, head is a little coarse, but she has a nice coat and 

 looks a worker all over; Fan and Rita, two puppies, too 

 short-faced but boasting nice limbs and coat, were given two 

 cards. 



BULLDOGS. 



Mr, Woodward's Bo'swain was the only entry, and of 

 course tripped out with the blue ribbon; he was shown in 

 excellent condition. 



BULL-TEEEIEES. 



There were seven entries in the bull-terrier class and con- 

 siderable weeding was i-equired, some of them might have 

 been mentioned in the bulldog class. Eventually the prize 

 fell to Watchful Wagtail, of the three left in, his nice head 

 and well-turned body is marred somewhat by his indift'erent 

 front; a pupioy, Duke of Wellington, ran the winner close, 

 and is by Bendigo out of a bitch that Mr. Dole lost in Toronto 

 last year, so we hear, anyhow he is a good puppy, excellent 

 Ijone and head, and only needs time; Baron II. turns his feet 

 out, is cheeky and coul'd be improved in body. 



EOX-TEEKIEES. 



These were the best filled classes in the show, and though 

 there were no flyers presentj they gave one considerable work 



to weigh all points. A class of moderate dogs is notoriously 

 a difficult one to judge unless one withholds all the prizes 

 and sends them all out. In open dogs the struggle was be- 

 tween Blemton Trump and the new dog Painter. Neither 

 is very good in head; Trump carried his ears truer and I like 

 his front better; he also gains a trifle in coat and body; 

 Painter's brindle m.^sTkings are objectionable. Nobody's 

 Child, third, had the best head in the cla.s.s, but loses in 

 front; loin and quarters seem a bib weak; needs a little 

 kitchen pliysic when he will show up much better. 1 take 

 this opportunity to refer to a letter I received before the 

 Kingston show, 'calling my attention to this dog, that it had 

 been under treatment and to look out for a weakness in loin, 

 etc., which peerhaps might not be noticeable in the ring'. 

 The letter was .signed C. J. R., and postmarked Toronto. 

 Those are the petty acts of n;nTow-minded individuals, who 

 are the very people who bring dogs and dog dealing into dis- 

 repute. Whether the dog had been bought for SI or ^1.000 

 mattered nothing to me when in the ring. Tupper, he, has 

 a fairish head to recommend it, too light and lathy in body 

 though. Punch, c, has grown far too big and coarse; Zig 

 Z-ig, Jr. carries his ears poorly, legs and feet fair, and .John 

 Peel, with a commended card over it when I took my uotts, 

 gave me quite a cold shiver, evidently had not its company 

 manners on, for it showed him a bad one. Our advice to the 

 Ai'den Kennels is to clear out their stock and get something 

 with more bone, substance and terrier character. Winning 

 specials with such stock is a parody on dog shows. The 

 Intch class was a better one, the struggle lying between 

 Fussie and Dudley Slave. The former is a well-made bitch, 

 nice long head, well carried ears, good neck and straight 

 front, feet might be a little more compact though they .are 

 not open, nicely turned body and jaunty action, coat could 

 be improved, is soft at present: she is, I believe, a grand- 

 daughter of old Fennel's. Dudley Slave was heavy in whelp, 

 which made her look slack in back; her front is not good, 

 and ears are not carried close enough to head; she beats in 

 coat and terrier character. Fly came next, She is coai'sish 

 in head and carries her ears too high. Judy, vhc, ears 

 wrong, front not a terrier's front, nice body, fair head. Dot, 

 vhc, IS bad in front, ears poorly carried. LadyZig Zag. he, 

 is light and weedy. Most of the commended cards should 

 have been withheld. In novice cla.ss Fus,sie beat Nobody's 

 Child, and Jacko, third, is a rare terrier from the head back, 

 but head and neck entirely too coarse and thick. 



DANDIE IJINMOKTS, ETC. 

 In the challenge class the Skye terrier Sir Staiiord, in nice 

 condition, added another prize to his string. We are rather 

 uncertain about the Dandy open class, the winner beats the 

 other in head, coat .and bod.y, the yellow one being too 

 woolly-coated and cloddy. In iJedlingtons, first was with- 

 held and second given to" Nettle, out of shape and faulty in 

 head and front. 



BLACK AND TAN TEEEIEKS. 

 First went to Grace, a nice little-bodied bitch, cleaner in 

 head and markings than Rochelle Scot, second, who is a bit 

 coarse. 



TOY SPANIELS. 



The noted winner Calumet Alice, in the absence of her 

 kennel mate, Cromwell, in the challenge class, was alone. 

 She has been described before. In open class. Calumet's 

 Ben d'Or, the only entry, was absent. 



PUGS. 



In challenge class Bob Ivy had little trouble in beating 

 old Treasure, who shows too many signs of age to hold his 

 own as in days of yore. Pretty little Bessie, in tiptop shape, 

 was alone in her class. In open dogs, Curtis, the novice 

 winner at New York this spring, though very dark in head, 

 beat Kash, Jr., in head and coat. Fritz Emmett, big in 

 ears and a bit coarse all over, came close up, third. Brad- 

 ford Rowdy, reserve, loses in head and curl. Nigger showed 

 too much white on chest, but is a well-form"eil pug. In 

 bitches, Lady Victoria and Cribbage Avere placed in the 

 order named'; they have been described before. Pearl de 

 Jardin, third, is a puppy that needs time to let down in 

 body, nicish head and ears. Peggie is too fat and skull flat, 

 nice body. 



FOXHOUNDS, ETC. 

 A good show of these hounds, the well-known Dan taking 

 first over BpII, who loses in head and front. Tuner, third, 

 is too bloodhoundy but is a strongl.y-made hound. Bell, 

 vhc, was is whelp but is a nice-headed hound, with good 

 coat. Grailer, vhc, is good in body, legs and coat, but head 

 is faulty. 'V'aldemir, the Russian wolfhound, looking well, 

 was the only entry in his breed. Newfoundlands had two 

 entries; one had the foundations of a Newfoundland, fair 

 head, coat straight on back but gone curly at sides, though 

 it is just the right texture; he took first and the other curly, 

 wooly-coated specimen had to be content with very barren 

 honors. 



MISCELLANEOUS CLASS. 

 This class should have been divided in weights. Not 

 being able to do so [ gave .lack Shepard, the bloodhound, 

 first, Gill, the Avell-known dachshund, second, and Frank 

 Dole's poodle Friday third, a shaved Esquimau dog vhc. and 

 the toy terrier Kathleen he; a veiy good dachshund with a 

 bu-shy tail got some letters too. This brought the judging 

 t(^ a close. H. W. L.

THE HAMILTON SHOW. 



rSpec/<(! to FoVRSl and Stream.^ 



HAMILTON, Ont., Sept. .S.— The Ilanjilton .show opened 

 this morning with as fine .'t class of dogs present as one 

 could wish. There are very few poor ones. The building 

 is excellently adapted for show, and Ppr;itts uew benching 

 is very effective. The tirrangements and the nnmagement 

 of the show excel anything I ever .saw. Ivverything goes 

 like clockwork, to the minute dial. There is a ver> repre- 

 sentative lot of fanciers present, among them Messrs' Wells, 

 Laidlaw, Nelles, Bell, Boggs, the two Lewises. Pritchaa d,

 Haldenian, W^aters and many others.
