AMERICAN KENNEL CLUB MEETING. 



THE regular quarterly meeting of the American Kennel Club 

 wns held at its rooms, No. ii Broadway. New Y'ork city, on 

 Thursday, Sept. 24, President August Belmont presiding. There 

 were present: Associate members, James L, Anthonv; California 

 Kennel Club, J. Tredwell Richards; Collie Club of America. J. D. 

 Shot well; English Setter Cluh, Wilson Fiske; Mascouiah Kennel 

 Club, James Mortimer; National Beasle Club. H. F. Sebcllhass; 

 Rochester Kennel Club, W. Whitney; Southern California Kennel 

 Club, James Watson; Toledo Kennel Club, Dr. H. T. Foott; Great 

 Dane Club, G. Muss-Arnoll; American Spaniel Club, E. M. Old- 

 ham; New York and New England Potdtry and Kennel Club. W. 

 E.ehurchJll. 



Minut.es of the lust meeting read. Mr. Anthony: I move the 

 adoption of the minutes as read, with the exception of the portion 

 referring to the report concerning the pointer special prize, and I 

 ask that that be laid over for further consideration, for the rea- 

 son that at the last meeting it was impossible to have the entry 

 blank produced which wag made at tbe Washington show. I ex- 

 pect Mr. WebstPr, if he shall be present at this meeting, will have 

 it in bis possession, and will produce it. I have been informed 

 that it bears, upon its face, the signature of the CharlottevUle 

 Field Trial Kennel Club, Mr. Dexter, owner, and signed by him 

 If so, that disposes of the question. The whole matter rests upon 

 the q'lestion whether, at tne time of the entry by the Charlotte- 

 ville Field Trial Kennel, it was the property of Mr. Dexter, and 

 wli&ther he signed that entry as the owner of the kenr.eL In that 

 event, the dog could not compete because the special statyd that 

 it must be fur dogs owned and shown south of the Ohio River. 

 Mr. Dexter lives at Buzzard's Baj-, Massachusetts, and as he w'as 

 the sole owner of the kennel his dog was not entitled to entry. 

 On that ground I ask that that portion @f the minutes go over, in 

 order that when it comes up again we may have the original 

 entry produced. 



The Chair called upon the secretary to state what had trans- 

 pired ,-incB the last meeting in regard to the matter. 



Mr. Vredenburgh stated that the secretary of the Washington 

 City Kennel Club bad called upon him and stated that he would 

 bo glad to furnish him with the entry blank. Mr. Richards moved 

 that the minutes be confirmed. Motion seconded and carried. 



The secretary's report was re«d and approved. It was in part as 

 follows; 



Siiiee our last meeting I have received applications for admis- 

 sion to merribership from the tMlowing clubs: Mohawk Vallev 

 Poultry and Kennel Club, of Gloveri^vllle. N. Y.; the Omaha K'^n- 

 nel Club, of Omaha, Neb.; the Blu-^ Grass Kennel Club, of Lextng- 

 ton, Ky. These clubs have complied with all the requirements of 

 the Amerl^-an Kennel Club, nnd aro elicihle to admission at this 

 meeting. In the case of the Blue Grass Kennel Club, I would re- 

 port that its inaugural bsnoh ah6w began on tbe 33d inst.. and it 

 respectfully petitions this club to recognize its awards. I would 

 recommend such action at this meeting, noon the condition that 

 it complies with all the requirements demanded from active 

 memb^tB. The following credentials have been filed at this office: 



From the Duquesne Kennel Club, apoointing Mr. James O'Hara 

 Denny as its delegat'^, and from the New York and New England 

 Poultry and Kennel Club, appointing Mr. W. E. Churchill as its 

 dflegite. I submit herewith reslgnatious as actire membprs 

 from the following clubs: Buffalo Kt'unel Ol'ib, of Buffalo, N.Y,, 

 Sonth Carolina Kennel Association, of Greenville, S. O. 



Aug. 14, 1891. Mr. C, M. Munhall. secretary Cleveland Kennel 

 Club, filed at this office a notice of the suspension by said club of 

 Mr. Jas. V. R. Frost, for a violation of its bench show rules, 



Aug, 17, 1S91, complaint was made with me that tho Louisiana 

 Poultry and Pet Stock Association, of New Orleans, La„ had 

 failed to pqy the prize awarded at its last show to Mr. Roger T. 

 Harris'>n, New York. Mr. Harrison has made demands for said 

 prize, and, under sam*" date, 1 ofHcially notifled by mail the ser- 

 retary of S"id club of the complaint, and requested a prompt liqui- 

 dation of the amount due tne exhibitor. No replies have been 

 received by either Mr. Harrison or mysfdf, and I would iherefm'e 

 reconnnend the enforcement of hench show rules Nos. XXV. and 

 XXVIII, 



At the annual meeting of this elub, held Feb. 21, 1889, the fol- 

 lowing rpfiolution was adopted: "That the Canadian Kennol 

 Club, and all a wards under its rules, its disqualifioations and sus- 

 pensions, shall be recognized bv the American Kennel Club." The 

 purpose of this action was to bring aiiout a closer connection with 

 the bench show clubs and exhibitors across the border and thus 

 give substantial aid aud assistance to the Canadian Kennel Club, 

 then about org.aniziue. and to prnciically bring together all fac- 

 tions and kennel interests in the United Stated and Cauiida. We 

 are now completing the third year of this agreement, and it would 

 appear that the American Kennel Club receives very little return 

 for the benefits its confers. It is true that we exchange a recog- 

 nition of each other's registrations, yet we give the Canadian 

 clnbs the same benefits and advantages as are given to our own 

 memberfl, who have to pay annually dues therefor. The Canadian 

 clubs do not contribute one dollar toward the support of this club, 

 and our Canodian list of associate members and subscribers to the 

 Gazette, combined, only reaches a total of nine individuals. I 

 therefore report tbe practical result of this contract, deeming it 

 my duty to keep you informed upon all matters pertaining to the 

 interests of the American Kennel Club, and now leave the matter 

 in your hands for consideration, and for such action as you may 

 deem desirable. 



In closing my report, I beg to bring to yotir attention tbe follow- 

 ing editorial, published in Forest and Stheam, Auet. 27, 1891, en- 

 titled, "Is It Not Worth Considerine?" and the ofHcial reply there- 

 to, which will clearly and fully inform you and our associate 

 members of the true state of affairs regarding the litigation now 

 pending against this club and a few oC its associates: [Here fol- 

 lowed the Forest and Stream article of Aug, 27, and the letter 

 ot Pres, BFlmont published in our columns last week.] 



The treasurer's report was also read, and on morion approved 

 as follows: I herewith submit my report of moneys received and 

 disbursed by me daring the year 1891 to date: 



Receipts from all sources from Jan. 1, 1891, to date Sg.ftW.ei 



Expenses for same period 6,069.13 



Balance on hand • • • ■ $3,99(3.48 



Respectfully submitted, A. P. Vredenburgh, Treus, 



Mr. Watson, secretary of the stud book committee as follows' 

 and report was adopted: The number of paid registrations up to 

 date is 3 6.53 To show the great advance made this year it may 

 be stated that up to the "end of August the number was 2,444, 

 while last ye.ir lor the same period the total was 1,430. 



Tne following cases have been passed upon by j^our crmmittee: 

 Pedigrpe of Bran. 15,7(K). This dog was registered as by Nulla- 

 more (4,T01) ex Dot (9 tififi). and the Chestnut Hill Kennels state 

 that it should have been by Strephnn ex Dot. This error also 

 affects Lassie Dorf, 16,210, and Bran's Jessie, 16,630. As the error 

 was not made tiy the American Kennel Club cfQcials vour com- 

 mittee decided that tbe entries be cancelled, and that any new 

 registrations must he at the expense of the owner. 



Pedigree of Hebe K. The bveeder of the collie bitch Hebe K. 

 and her owner make coniradictoi y statements reearding the ped- 

 ifirree given, but as the breeder is the one who lodged the informa- 

 tion that the pedigree is incorrect it has been ordered cancelled. 



Ped'gree of Ice Palace Queen, 16,775. there is no dispute that 

 the pedigree as registered cf Ice Palace Queen, 16,775, is incorrect, 

 and it has been ordered cancelled. 



The attention of the executive committee is, however, drawn to 

 tbe acknowledgment of J. T. Pinches, who, under date of April 

 13. says that he was told that the pedigree he gave was correct. 

 Two requests for information as to who misled him have failed 

 to elicit any response, alchongh he was duly advised that bis re- 

 fusal w< nlo necessitate the case being piaced before the club for 

 further action. Y'^our committee recommends that J. T. Pinches 

 be suspended until such informat'on is furnished, 



Rpd'gree of Taylor's Cleo, 22 397. The owner of Lnrnocit Elsa, 

 8,019, durin? the > ear 1889, when she state-l to have whelped Taj- 

 lor's Cleo, denies itiat she had any puppies in 1889. The registra- 

 tion has been cancelled. 



As 00 response can 'be had from M. T. Mason, of Northampton. 

 Massachusetts, as to bis reasons for making such an entry, it is 

 recommended that action he also taken on his refusal. Tbe pen- 

 alty of snspension against James G. Burns, of Buffalo, has been 

 removed in accoreance with thf resolution passed by the execu- 

 tiye committee.— James Watson, Secretary. 



Reports from special committees being in order, the secretary 

 read the following, on fit Id trials and coursirg meetings, sub- 

 mitted by Chairman Child, and laid on the table: 



Tnis committee recommends t^e rconstderation and repeal of 

 the resolution passed by the executive committee of the A. K. C., 

 May 33, 1890. relative to the definition of fle^d trial lecord, so far 

 as it relates to tht- same. Respectfully recommends the adoption 

 of the following resolutions by the executive committee of the 

 A. K. C. 



1. Resolved, That only such field trial and coursing winnings be 

 recosnized at the American Kennel Club bench shows, as are 

 made at a meeting held under tne auspices of a club, a member of 

 tbe A. K. C, or if, as held under the auspices of a club not such a 

 member, a1 a competition open to all. 3. Resolved, That a dog 

 winning two first prizes in stakes open to all at field trial, or 

 coursine meetings, held under the auspices of a club a member of 

 the A. K. C. shall have won the title of field trial champion. 



President Belmont: I have not banded in any report with 

 reference to anv arrangement tei be made with the Coursing Club, 

 because Mr. Whiton aiid myself have not actually reached a con- 

 clusion concerning it. I beg to report proi^ress in the direction of 

 an amic»ble arrangement, and such as would work p^ rfectly well, 

 hut the feature which I fear will be liable to wreck any arrange- 

 ment which we can make is that the Coursing Club desires the 

 American Kennel Club to publish practically a coursing calendar 

 and the estimates of the printer upon the publication of such a 

 volume are so expensive that I am afraid, unless the Coursing 

 Club is willing to guarantee it, it would entail a considerable luss, 

 besides occupying much of the time of our secretary and his as- 

 sistant. Unless some change is made in that respect, I desire that 

 some other arrangf ment should be perfected. 



Dr. H. T. Foote, of ' he committee appointed to investigate the 

 breed of dogs of the Boston Terri-r Club, reoorted as follows; 



The committee has had very little opportunity to investigate 

 The matter, and have been unable to learn anything of conse- 

 quence \mtil an hour b fore this meeting was called to order, 

 when Mr. Power, of tbe Boston Terrier Cluij. presented the stud 

 book of tbe specialt y club, containing some '62 pedigrees, carried 

 to the third generation, and some of them to the fourth and fifth 

 generation. As I understand trum him, these dogs, in pedigree, 

 were all dogs of this type, and he has the names ot eight others 

 that are eligible for registration in the stud book. He also ex- 

 hibited a number of photographs which show similarity in type, 

 and assured us that good Fppcimens of this type cannot be bred 

 from the first cross, or the second or the third cross— that is to 

 say, breeding a dog from the third generation would insure a 

 good specimen. One of the members of the committee, Dr. 

 Glover, is not able to be here, and Mr. Watson and myself, while 

 Wfc feel confident of the existence of such a breed of dogs in Bos- 

 ton, do not feel satisfied to recommend their recognition. That 

 tbe committee is not strictly called upon to do, for, as I under- 

 stand, the committee was appointed to establish the existence of 

 the breed. We feel that if the matter was laid over until the May 

 meeting, and the Bnsron Club would show the dogs, manv of ns 

 could become more famUiar with the type and perhaps many of 

 us would go to the Bf^ston show, where there is alwai s a number 

 of them exhibited. The club undoubtedly has been very actively 

 at work and appear very anxious to establif-h the breed. I feel 

 that we should encourage them, hut neither Mr. Watson nor my- 

 self feel satisfied to warrant a report that siroh a breed does 

 actually exist to any considerable degree. That thev have a 

 number of very eood specimens, perhaps » few hundred, as Mr. 

 Power states, there is no reason to doubt. I have had no time to 

 hand in a written report. 



Mr. Watson said he thought they had made all the InvestigatioQ 

 of the matter possible, and that they felt that there was not suffi- 

 cient tangible ground to warrant all the Boston club desired. He 

 thought it wrong to come to the Anaerioan Kennel Olub to enforce 

 the dog upon the public; the public ought to enforce the dog upon 

 the club, 'I 



Mr. Power being granted the privilege of the floor, said: 



I would like to say that tbe Boston Terrier Club has proved the 

 existence of this breed, and I have here photogrdphs taken at ran- 

 dom that show the similarity of the type of dogs, and they do not 

 represent our first prize winner, or second or third. I think by 

 this means we have proved the existence of the dog, ard tbe ex- 

 istence of the club. The ciub now numbers fifty mpm>iers, and it 

 is in active operation. It is very difficult to get clubs throughout 

 the country to provide a class for dogs unless t ey are recognized 

 by the American Kennel Club, and i' would be almost useless for 

 the members to show their dotrs. as the winnings would not count, 

 and it would simply be throwing money away. The club means 

 business and are very anxious to have recognition for these dogs. 

 We can show thirt.\ -two guirant^eed pedierees of three genera- 

 tions or over. Every pedigree has been adopted, name by name, 

 after investigation of the stud bools committee, and has been pre- 

 sented to the club and urged before the club for their action, and 

 every one has been accepi ed. it is Impossible to breed a dog from 

 a bulldog terrier and make a Bo ton terrier in the first cioss or 

 second cross. If a dog was brouerht up. as the chairman of your 

 committee suggests, before a judge, and was not a Boston terrier, 

 he would be thrown out of tbe class immediately. We claim this 

 dog has been bred for twenty-flve years in purity, and the club is 

 ready to stand behind the dog and push it. We would like your 

 favorable consideration at this meeling. The club is acting in 

 good faith, and is just as anxious to have a good dog as you are. 



The report was lilt- d, and the chair was empowered to appoint » 

 committee to su«Kest safeguards under which the Boston Terrier 

 Club may be admitted as a member of the American Kennel Club. 



Mr. Shotwell offered the following resoluiion; 



WJiereas, The New Jersey Kennel Club, having elected Charles 

 J. Peshall president, « nd appointed him its delegate to this club, 

 and by such action indorsing the course purs us^d by said Charles 

 J. Peshall toward the American Kennel Club, and in effect being 

 varticcps criminis in pioceedings prejudicial to the interests of 

 this club; 



ifc-sofi'cd, Thaf. Article 9, Section 1, of the constitution he en- 

 forced, and that the New Jersey Kennel Club be. and hereby is, 

 expelled from this association. 



Mr. Richards moved as an amendment to that resolution the 

 following: 



U'/i*j-ea«, The New Jersey Kennel Club has elee'ed Charles J. 

 Peshall president, after his disqualification by the American 

 Kennel Club: 



Resolvef], That Article 9. Section 1, of the constitution be en- 

 forci^d, and that the New Jersey Kennel Cinb be, and hereby is, 

 expelled from this association. 



Mr. May Wenzel thought tbe New Jersey Kennel Club should 

 not be made to suffer on account of any action of its president, 

 and should not be expelled without the opportunity to be heard. 



Mr. Richards offered this substitute amendment, which was 

 adopted: 



Whereas, This club is informed that tbe New Jersey Kenne 

 CluD has elected Charles J. Peshall president, and has appointed 

 him its delegate to this club bince his disqualification by the 

 American Kennel Club; 



Eesolvcd, That this club considers such action prejudicial to the 

 welfrtre of the American Kennel Club under Article 9, Section 1 of 

 the Constitution. 



Be^o/i'ed. That charges be preferred against the New Jersey 

 Kenn id Club, based upon their election c-f Mr Peshall as presi- 

 dent and as its delegate to this club, after his disqualification, for 

 conduct prejudicia' to the welf tre of the American Kennel Olub, 

 a.nd that it be referred to tbe advisory committee and to offer the 

 New Jersey Kennel Club an opportunity to be heard upon the 

 charges 



President Belmont asked for a motion giving associate mem- 

 bers and members of kennel clubs the privilege of being in the 

 room at any of 'he meetings, stating that at the last meeting 

 there was some misunderstanding on t he part of one or two asso- 

 ciate members who wore pre ent concerning a ruling made by 

 the chair, ostensibly to gfet rid of ascertain stehograpber, and who 

 considered themselves included in the mnion that outsiders 

 should leave the room. He further stated that it had caused one 

 re'ignation and led to the writing of a sharp letter on the part of 

 another. It was decided that at any public meeting.of the Amer- 

 ican Kennel Club any merLber of a club a member of tbe Ameri- 

 can Kennel Club and all associate members may be permitted to 

 be present. 



Mr. Shotwell; I want to call attention to the furnishing by tbe 

 secretary of official reports of the proceedings of the club to dif- 

 ferent sporting papp.rs. It is a very unusual proceeding. They 

 have an opportunity of sending their own reporters here ard 

 writing up their own reports. These reports are furnished at 

 some considerable expense, which I think should he avoided. 



The chair stated that the reason that course was adopted was 

 because formerly the papers did se' d their own leporters and it 

 was very difficult to tell wh'ch report was correct, 



Mr. Shotwell moved that the secretary be instructed to discon- 

 tinue the practice of furnishing rf ports to the papejs after this 

 meeting. Motion earned, Mr. Watson voting in the neerative. 



The Mohawk Valley Poultry aod Kennel Club, of Gloversville, 

 N. Y.;the Omaha Kennel Club, of Omaha, Neb., and tbe Blue 

 Grass Kennel Club, of Lexington, Ky., were elected members. 



Mr. <^hnrchill moved that the recommendation of the secre- 

 tary, that their wins be reccgnized, be adopted. Carried, five to 

 four. 



The resignations of the Buffalo Kennel Club and of the South 

 Carolina Kennel AssociHtum were accepred. The charges pre- 

 ferred against tbe New Orleans Club for default in payment of 

 their prizes in January was referred to the advisory committee 

 with power. 



Regarding the communication from Mr. W. L. Wa'-hington. re 

 questing this club to define tbe breeder of the Irish setter bilch 

 Ruby Glenmore, Mr. W^atson moved that the breeder of Ruby 

 Glenmore was the Gem Kennels The owner of the kennel at the 

 lime of her being exhibited at Washington did not own the dam 

 at the time she was bred and was therefore not tlie breeder. There 

 is no suggestion of fraud on the part of Mr. Washington in any 

 of nis entries. Motion lost by four to two and matter referred to 

 the stud book committee. 



Resolution recognizing the Canadian Kennel Club and its 

 awards, adopted at the A K. C. meeting, Feb. 21, 1889, was laid 

 over until tbe next meeting. 



Mr. Wa'son moved that the spcretary be instructed to notify 

 Mr. J. T. Pinches that, in default of a satisfactory explapation 

 from him in regard to the pedigrep of Ice Palace Queen within 15 

 days, he will be suspended and subject lo disqualification by the 

 club. 



The same motion was passed in regard to the pedigree of Tay- 

 lor's Cleo, referred to in the report of the stud book committee. 



The report of the special committee on field trials and coursing 

 meetings was, on motion, laid over. 



The secretary was instructed to ask tbe Washington City Ken- 

 nel Club for tbe entry blauk of the Charlotteville Field Trial 

 Kennel at its late show. 



Dr. H.T. Foote gavf notice that jie would offer the following 

 amendments to the rules: Rule XII. A dog suft>ring from eczema, 

 mange or any contagious or objectionable diseases, etc.. as now 

 stau'is. Rule XVII. Bsnch show committees may provide such 

 clasFes for dogs of pure breeds as they choose, but in the following 

 classes: 1. Omit "pure breeds of," 2. As it stands. 8. Omit 

 "rr/cognized" after prize in third line. In-ert "in a.n --pen class"; 

 after "won" in the lonrth line insert "such." Rule XVIL, Art. 4. 

 The pnppv class shall be for doss over six months and under 

 eighteen months in age. Art, 6 After "class" in third line insert

WHITE yiOJjET.— Editor Forest and Stream: A friend 

 of mine recently called my attention to an advertisement in 

 F0B£ST AND SxEEAil offering: the "celebrated bull-terrier 

 bitch White Violet for sale." Now, the celebrated White 

 Violet— the one winning six firsts and four specials in Eng- 

 land, first aud special at Lynn (beating ch. Starlight), and 

 first at Boston, 1891 — is now in my kennel with five beauti- 

 ful little puppies. I bought her 'from Mr. Harris, of North 

 Wilmington, and have his letters to prove it. If any one 



furchased the bitch advertised he has been greatly cheated, 

 shoxild have written you about it before, but the confusion 

 of moving with my family from Brooklyn to this place baa 



Erevented. The advertisement occurred in an August num- 

 er, but which I cannot say, as tbe copy containing it is 

 pacjied away among my books, etc, 1 think it due your 

 readers that this should be exposed.— W. 0. SWEDEN. M. D,.
