FOREST AND STREAM. 



[Sept. 17, 1891« 



BEDLINGTON TEREIERS— (It. Vf. LACT). 

 Sentinel 11. won easily in this class o£ three, beating; Net- 

 tle in head and coat, though heaten in arch of loin. Phoebe, 

 too short- faced and not straight in front, was third. 



YORKSHIRE TEBEIERS— (H. W. LACT). 

 Champion Toon's Royal had an easy win over "Venns from 

 the same kennel in the challenge class. Toon's Royal (ieorge 

 was given the only prize in the open dogs, and a silver. Tot, 

 from the same kenneLs, took the prize in the ladies' division. 

 PUGS— (MISS AWSA H, WHITNEY). 



Miss Whitney was honored with quite a good string of 

 entries in this breed, the challenge class mustering four. 

 Bessie had to lower her colors to Bob Tvy. Cassina, the black- 

 headed one, coming third. Eberhart's "Cashier had a clever 

 win in open dogs. "This dog, though he might be shorter in 

 muzzle, improves with age, and his curl is a byword. Cur- 

 tis, showing too much black, was second, and described last 

 week, Fritz, third, has a nice head and body. Barney is 

 leggy and ears carried too high, bat has a nice head. Kash, 

 Jr., thoxigh his coat is too thick, might have done a bit bet- 

 ter. Fritz Emmett, h.c, was here outclassed. Sateen won 

 again in bitches, beating Mabel E. in head and body. Fanny 

 K., third, is a bit tucked up and her ears are not well car- 

 ried. Peggy Pride, reserve, we did not see, but will de- 

 scribe her at Toronto. Lady Victoria and Cribbage had to 

 be content with vhe, each; this time they are well known. 

 Fanny, also vhc, is a nice stamp and will improve in head. 



TOYS ANB PETS— (MISS AN^^a h. WHITXEY). 



Minnie, with fawn-colored ears, a sort of Maltese terrier, 

 won, with Daisy, a Mexican poodle, second. Beauty, a toy 

 black and tan, should have won easily, for she was quite a 

 fair toy as they go. 



MISCELLANEOUS— (MISS ANNA H. WHITNEY). 



Miss Whitney very kindly relieved Mr. Lacy of the toys 

 and this class after the dachshunde had had a separate class 

 made for them. The bloodhound Jack Shepherd had a close 

 win over the King Charles spaniel Calumet Alice, third go- 

 ing to FI0.SS, a Barbet (?). Daisy, a supposed King Charles, 

 should have been left out, for she is too long in head, like a 

 snipy cocker. Worry, Mr. Rickett's clever-looking Aire- 

 dale^ short in head and body, stands on excellent legs and 

 feet, and has a good feel of coat. Two sort of heavy harriers, 

 misnamed Bassets, were Judged sepai'ately: they were of no 

 account as show dogs, but ai-e no doubt excellent deer trail- 

 ers, as the owner informed us. 



DACHSHUNPE— (H. W. LACY). 



Windrush Rioter, faulty in hind action, but of excellent 

 type, won over Lena L.. well known, better in length, 

 nearer to the ground, and better in crook and textirre of 

 coat. Fehnark should have been second, though he is not 

 so long iu liody, but is stconger in front. With the judging 

 of thesiiecials for Hamilton dogs and the kennel prizes, this 

 brought the judging to a close.

DOG CHAT. 



THE following railroads have agreed to sell round trip 

 tickets to the Blue Gcslss Kennel Cltib's bench .show at 

 Lexington for one and one-third fare and pas.s all dogs free 

 in baggage cars when accompanied by owners: Cincinnati, 

 New Orleans and Texas Pacific, Louisville and Nashville, 

 Kentucky Central, Newport News & Miss. Valley, and Ken- 

 tucky Union and Chesapeake & Ohio. Entries close Sept. 13. 



Mr. W. T, Irwin has resigned his management of the Moore- 

 field Kennels to accept a similar position with th^^. Grlen- 

 more Kennels. Pie. reports all the dogs doing well upon 

 chickens, the whole kennel of reds now in Kansas being 

 worked upon game dailj\ 



A word of praise must be given to Messrs. Tuckett, Mole, 

 McDonald, Becay and several others whose names we did 

 not catch, for their untiring labor, which contributed no 

 little to the Hamilton show's succes.*. 



The black and tan Prince Regent was missing for some 

 time during the show. Having broke loose from an attend- 

 ant, he ran round the streets for some hours. He was 

 eventually found and brought back to the building. The 

 cocker Black Duke also gave the show people a scare by 

 slipping his collar and hiding himself behind a collie in the 

 latter's stall. Half the keepers were running round the 

 streets and building after it, and it was giveit up as lost, 

 when his black coat was just seen from under the collie's 

 mane. 



"No," said the young lady competently, "I don't like 

 them coolies, and the bugle dogs is horrid: but them cookie 

 spaniels is too sweet for anything."— iia?niWon {Out.) Spec- 

 tfitor. 



The largest emigrant in the way of dog flesh arrived in 

 New York Sept. 10 on the White Star liner Normandie. 

 This is Lord Bute, of whose purchase by the Menthon Ken- 

 nels we spoke some time since. The' price paid to Mr. 

 Shillcock, we understand, was about .7-3,T50. That Lord 

 Btite is a large dog there is little doubt, but we question 

 whether he can overtop Lord Melrose, which we measured 

 at 17mos. old as 35Kin. Lord Bute has an enviable record 

 as a getter of good stock, and we trust that the enterprise of 

 Menthon Kennels will receive its due reward and that be- 

 fore long some of the prototypes of the cracks on the other 

 .side of the water by this sire may be produced and raised 

 from him. 



Dr. Foote's black and tans were protested for late arrival 

 at the Hamilton show. The dogs, however, were shown 

 under protest aud Avon. It was theti found that the train 

 they came on from New York was three hour:-i late in arriv- 

 ing at Hamilton Tuesday morning, aud the protest was 

 overruled. Broomfield Sultan was catalogued at ^=30, and 



several made tracks to the secretary to lay claim to hira, 

 Ben Lewis getting it first paid ten dollars" to bind it. Of 

 course it was a mistake, as Dr. Foote had placed no price at 

 all on his entry form. It is a noticeable feature of our shows 

 that so few dogs are claimed throtigh the secretary, for we 

 scarcely ever hear of a case. The cause may be found in the 

 fact that there are few good dogs running around loose, and 

 again that owners of dogs they think fit to show have an in- 

 ordinate idea of their dog's value, and fill in the price ac- 

 cordingly. 



This reminds us that at Hamilton we dropped across a 

 capital fox-terrier pup, by Mr. Mortimer's old dog Suffolk 

 Coronet, that he sold to Mr. J. W. Morden, of Hamilton, out 

 of Bacchante, by Bacchanal— Yen atrix; Suffolk Coronet by 

 champion Result— Diadem. This is excellent breeding, and 

 if Suffolk Coronet is going to breed such pups as this one 

 he will do a lot of good for Canadian fox-terrier breeders. 

 A tempting offer of the coin of the realm persuaded Mr. 

 Morden to part with the pup, aud FoEEST AND SiEEAii now 

 has an office dog. 



It is a.stonishing to see the number of H. K. C. members' 

 badges in walking along the streets of Hamilton during the 

 dog show. Nearly every other man seemed to be a member, 

 and this is not astonishing when one finds that this club 

 counts 298 names on its roll, making it, without doubt, the 

 largest kennel club in the world. Some 82,400 was placed 

 in bank as a guarantee fund, and before the doors of the 

 show were opened they were quite able to pay off every in- 

 debtedness that might be incurred. As an instance, the very 

 first morning of the show Spratts' agent was paid their bill 

 of over 8400. There was no lack of attendants, aud they were 

 made to do their work, too. The atalogues were printed 

 and ready for sale on the Saturday before the show, nearly 

 three days ahead, very few mistakes could be found in it, 

 and those only of a typoKrapbical nattire. The catalogue 

 was well arranged \N'ith breed index and list of exhibitors' 

 addresses. We mention these little things to show that all 

 these items go to make a svell-managedshuw and that others 

 can take a wrinkle from the H. K. C. 



On the evening of the closing day Mr. Stewart, the super- 

 intendent cf the Hamilton dog show, was the recipient of a 

 handsoiue testimonial from the exhibitors and handlers, in 

 the shape of gold locket, as a token of their appreci'ition of 

 his tiniform cotxrtesy aud kindness to tbeiu. On the face 

 was engraved his monogram "A. D. S.," andou the reverse, 

 "Presented to A. D. Stewart b.y the exhibitors and hitndlers 

 at the H. K. C. show, 1891." Mr. S. L. Boggs, president of 

 the Mascoutah Kenuel Club, juade the presentation, and in 

 the course of a ueat speech said: "It is my plea.sing duty to 

 present yon with this small token of our esteem and good 

 will, and inay you live long to wear it in remembrance of 

 the happy and enjoyable time we have spent here in Ham- 

 ilton. I have been appointed by the exhibitors and jirinci- 

 pal handlers to show that they appreciate the efforts that 

 you have made in their behalf. jMost of tis had no idea that 

 there was stich a glorious place as Hamilton, and no such 

 ) reception has ever been offered us ;is l:)y the coMimittee of the 

 Hamilton bench show. I feel satisfied that we shall all 

 return with twice the number of dogs next year. That is, I 

 am sure, the sentiment that acttiates all of the men." Mr. 

 A. D. Stewart, in his happiest style, thanked the whole of 

 the exhibitors for the very hearty ma.nuer in which they had 

 contributed to. the snccess of t he first Haniiitou beiicli sliow, 

 and he felt great pleasttre in accepting the very hand;ionic 

 locket, not for its intrinsic value, but as a menn?ido ol the 

 first attempt to hold a dog show in thccity. He would wear 

 the locket on his watch chain and ever remember the sur- 

 prise. He required no thanks. The sati.sfactiou that he had 

 in the work whicti is now over, was the greatest reward that 

 he could receive. The locket he should treasure as a pleas- 

 ing reminder from all of those present of their esteem and 

 good will, and for that, and that alone, he would wear it for 

 the rest of his life. 



"Captain" Murphy, Spratts' well-known and energetic 

 bench erector and biscuit caterer, will receive a gold medal 

 from the Hamilton Cltib. As usual he gave entire satisfac- 

 tion by the [nanner in which he attended to the feeding aud 

 disinfecting. The caretaker of the rink in which the show 

 was held was not forgotten, the exhibitors and handlers 

 presenting him with a handsome purse which had been 

 subscribed for the purpose. 



We learn that there are less than 300 entries at the Montreal 

 show. It seems strange that the liberal prize list given 

 there should not have induced a larger number of exhibitors 

 to enter. We think the early date of closing must be in a 

 great measure to blame. 



These is likely to be an excitine and interesting meeting 

 of the Canadian Kennel Clubon Wedne.sday during Toronto 

 show. The important office of secretary-treasurer will be 

 contested by Messrs. A. D. Stewart, of Hamilton, and H. B. 

 Donovan, of Toronto. Since witnessing the former gentle- 

 man's executive ability and energy we -are inclined, without 

 any prejudice to Mr. Donovan, to think no better t)ian could 

 be found for the position. As we intimated recentl.y it is 

 proposed to make the office a salaried one for the futtire, so 

 that a clerk may be employed to do the heavy work. We 

 also learn that Mr. F. H. F. Mercer proposes to offer to 

 publish the stud book for the club annually free of charge, 

 and to supply every member with a copy gratis. As a large 

 number of dogs are already registered and there is no pub- 

 lication in which they appear, the benefit of this step to the 

 Canadian canine interests will readily be perceived. 



We understand, on no less authority than a letter from. 

 Mr. Mortimer, that puppy classes will still be offered at 

 New York. It is needless to express our regrets at this 

 intelligence, as we fully expected that the abolitiofi of this 

 useless, not to say cruel, adjunct of dog shows would re- 

 ceive its death blow when dbscountenanced by the powerful 

 W. K. C. What club in the United States \vill have the 

 pluck to follow the lead of otir Northern friends? 



It is more than probable that a magazine of the highest 

 class will shortly be published in Canada, which is to be 

 entirely devoted to dogs. 



They say that judging dogs is not quite so easy in practice 

 as it seems to be to the uninitiated. 



At length it M'ould seem that Airedale terriers are to re- 

 ceive some attention. Mr. Ricketts, an Englishman resident 

 in Canada, has become infected with the fever, and intends 

 visiting England shortly with a view to founding a 

 kennel of the breed. We have often said that this breed 

 deserves attention, as there is co terrier Ijfttcr snited to a 

 rough country than the native i!og of the Vale of the Aire. 

 Sioce boyhood we ha\'e known these dogs intimately, and 

 certainly no more game and hardier dog exists than this 

 I'Oitgh and ttimble type. No one can call them handsome 

 animals, still many breeds even more destitute of beatify 

 have their thick and thin supporters, and no breed better 

 befits the saying, "handsome is as handsome does," than 

 this giant of the terrier tribe. 



There is a most remarkable dog iu Ilanulton, Canada. 

 He is a rough-haired tnougrcl terrier and rejoiee.s in the 

 name of "Jack, the ijollcenuiu's dog." Fifteen years ago 

 his master, a night .watchman, was shot while on duty.
