PHILADELPHIA WITHDRAWS. 



Editor Forest and Stream: 



As a delegate to the American Kennel Club I feel obliged 

 to make some reply to the untruthful and impertinent 

 squeal that the disgruntled president of the Philadelphia 

 Kennel Club makes in the last issues of the sporting papers. 

 In the first place he suggests pulling down a structure 

 which he claims is run in^the interets of a few men living 

 in New York city and that has injured the cause of dog 

 breeding. Certainly no organization could be founded on 

 broader or more liberal principles than is the A. K. C. It 

 remains with the kennel clubs .spread throughout the land 

 to correct any mismanagement, and the Philadelphia Club, 

 if they gee anything wrong, as they claim, .should retain 

 theii' representation and endeavor to correct it. 



Compare the status of dog breeding now and before the 

 organization of the A. K. C, and will any one posted breeder 

 say we have gone backward? 



Will the president of the Philadelphia K. C. explain in 

 what way the New York city men have gained any more 

 through the A. K, C. than have those living outside TJn- 

 fortunately many of us residing within easy traveling die- 

 tance to New Yo'rk are serving as delegates for distant clubs 

 through their urgent requests, but so far as I am concerned 

 I accepted the position with reluctance, and only on condi- 

 tion that the club I represent would advise my action on 

 important questions. I was not advised how to vote in the 

 matter of the Philadelphia club's field trials, and no clique 

 or other delegate in any way influenced my vote. To me the 

 question was too ridiculous to be worthy of serious con.sider- 

 ation. The Philadelphia club might with equal reason have 

 asked recognition for wins at a family bench show arranged 

 for the dogs owned by members of their club. 



It seems to me in this instance that the "clique .shoe" is 

 on the other foot, and that the Philadelphia club were try- 

 ing to take advantage of the representative body of all other 

 clubs to gain a point which I very much question if they 

 would have been willing to extend to the other clubs had 

 similar recjuests followed. 



I would gladly resign my appointment as delegate to see 

 an active member of the club I represent take my place, but 

 I am told such is not practicable. If the Philadelphia club 

 sees a remedy for the present method of representation, by 

 all means return to the fold and present ib. As to the "cut 

 and dried" proceedings of the A. K. C. and the inability of 

 their delegate to get a hearing, that is absolutely untrue. I 

 have seen none of it, and having attended all of the meet- 

 ings for more than a year, I have always had my say when I 

 wanted it, and if the representative of the Philadelphia 

 club has not found a hearing he must have sadly lacked 

 gumption. 



The Philadelphia Club may have been one of the parents 

 of the A. K. C, but their action in this matter, together 

 with the letters of their pre.sident. savors strongly of their 

 having reached their second childhood. "The Peshall busi- 

 ness has been simply disgusting." So say we all of us, but 

 why, oh why, didn't their delegate stiggest some practical 

 and diguined plan of terminating this very "humiliating" 

 affair, "instead of joining issues with this other disgruntled 

 boy in the conception of a clique bugaboo, the membership 

 of which they assert are furthering their' own "ambitions 

 and passions." The field trial ambitions of the Philadelphia 

 Club fortunately were a mouthful a bit too large for the 

 majority of the delegates to the A. K. C. to chew, and for- 

 tunately again, with all due respect to the Philadelphia 

 Club's delegate, he could not be heard sufficiently to poke 

 this down our throats in spite of our better senses. The 

 officers of the A. K. C. are active in its interests. Had they 

 not been they would not have received their present dis- 

 tinction. 



In every organization that I have been a member of I have 

 found that the real work, usually unpleasant and thankless, 

 has fallen upon a few, but lam sure that those now bearing 

 the brunt of the dissatisfied minority, who lose no oppor- 

 tunity to publicly vent their abuse, will gladly step down 

 and out whenever the satisfied majority are desirous to have 

 them do so. 



I am sorry the A.K.C. has lost the co-operation of the 

 Philadelphia Club, but if their feelings are truly represented 

 in the letter of their president, they have outgrown their 

 usefulness, and we can better spare them than not. In spite 

 of all dissatisfaction the kennel club grows. Never was it 

 .stronger in membership and finances than it is to-day. It 

 cannot be easily destroyed. Its improvement is but a 

 ciuestion of unselfish co-operation which is extended to all. 



H. T. FOOTE. 



DISPOSITION OF BLOODHOUNDS. 



BdMor Forest and Stream: 



In your "Dog Chat" you refer to the act of the Massachu- 

 setts Legislature in passing the act of 1886, Chap. 340, in 

 reference to keeping a bloodhound and also ask my opinion 

 of the bloodhound, as to his general disposition. That 

 such a law as this could have been passed seems strange to 

 me or any one who has ever seen or been familiar with a 

 pure bred bloodhound. 



Certainly the laugh is on the learned Legislature of 1886 

 then, for there was not an English bloodhound in America 

 at that time. The first kennel that was ever shown in this 

 country was in 1888 at the Westminster Kennel Club's 

 show by Mr. Edwin Brough, of Scarborough, England. But 

 the makers of the Massachu,setts law are the same as ninety- 

 nine in a hundred that visit my kennels to see the blood- 

 hounds. Their first remark would be, "Aj-e those blood- 

 hounds? They don't look as I thought they would. Why, 

 they cannot be a cross dog." The bloodhounds would be so 

 pleasing and plead to be petted that before they were aware 

 the children and ladies were caressing and petting them. 

 How can it be otherwise, his breeding association and the 

 care he has received from association with the oldest fami- 

 lies is stamped iilainly on his deeply- wrinkled solemn face 

 and deep-set eyes. They speak a majesty and pathos which 

 at times is startling. 



The breeding of certain strains of the old English blood- 

 hound has been kept as pure and extends as far back as the 

 time of William the Conqueor, and breeders boast of it as 

 they do of their own. 



The general appearance, disposition and intelligence of 

 the bloodhound are the strongest proofs of this assertion. 

 Their appearance at the INew York dog show was a revela- 

 tion to the American public. 



He probably got his name by his use in the past in track- 

 ing wounded game, and h j. unerring scent. When once 

 laid on any trail he know f that one trail and no other, no 

 matter how many time i J *i,rail is crossed and recrossed. 

 In 1888, when Mr. Btcu| i exh bited his kennel at New York 

 I was fortunate enou I > < oecome associated with him and 

 to retain all but one of h isteam. Since then they have been 

 shown at most of the principal shows from New York to 

 San Francisco, and at all of these shows there has not been 

 a hound shown or imported, with one single exception, that 

 did not come from or traces back to us. In quality and 

 number of dogs I can say 1 have stood second only to Mr. 

 Brough in England, usually having thirty or more on hand. 

 During the summer months it keeps one man occupied most 

 of the time to show the dogs to visitors. They will all bear 

 me out in my assertions that they never saw a cross blood- 

 hound at my kennels, and that they and their children 

 handled them with the greatest freedom. Further, 1 will 

 say of all I have bred I never had one but that any child or 

 lady could pet and handle at all tinaes, even when eating, or 

 that it was not perfectly safe for them to go into the kennel 

 yyheris. tifeey iim puppif«i if ' V?^? Wit]* t^eai: That J cour 



sider the greatest test of any dog's disposition that can be 

 made. I should make one exception to the above. I did 

 have a very fine blooded .stud imported whose disposition had 

 previously been spoiled by confinement and his keeper. I 

 soon disposed of him to a party in Dakota, where he ran 

 with a pack of hounds and had the greatest liberty; here he 

 became one of the best natured dogs. 



Another point for the bloodhound. Where have most of 

 the dogs gone that I have sold ? Not surely to people who 

 want a savage, dangerous dog. They have mostly been 

 bought by the same class of people who own them in Eng- 

 land; have been taken into the families of the wealthy as 

 companions, and by ladie.s as house pets. Mr. Glazier prob- 

 ably can get letters from some of these parties which would 

 have .some weight. I would like nothing better than to 

 have the honorable body visit my kennel with their good 

 ladies and children, and 1 would assert that before they had 

 been there long the ladies and children would be petting and 

 caressing them the same as other people. 



About the time I commenced breeding bloodhounds I was 

 at the kennels of Mr. E. H. Moore, of Melrose, Mass. He 

 laughingly gave me his experience in court the year before. 

 It seems some one was bitten by a dog. The owner was 

 sued for keeping a bloodhound. DJir. Moore and other ex- 

 perts testified the dog was not a bloodhound, nor had the 

 slightest resemblance to one in anyway, and more than that 

 they did not know of one in America. 



Another instance will show what they know of blood- 

 hounds in the South. I sold the very fine specimen Jack 

 the Rapper to a lady in Jackson, Miss. This is a terrible 

 name for one of the most gentle and affectionate dogs I ever 

 bred. She entered him at the New Orleans dog show la.st 

 winter as a bloodhound, but on his arrival they denied that 

 he was a bloodhound, and put him in the miscellaneous 

 class. Poor .Jack! Imagine bis feelings in being called a 

 mongrel and put among them; but his revenge came when 

 he was brought before the judges, who, not content with 

 giving him the first prize and pronouncing him the best one 

 in America, but in addition awarded him the much-coveted 

 special prize for the best dog or bitch of any breed in the 

 show. Afterward Jack made the rounds of the shows, and 

 still remains unbeaten. 1 am pleased to say he has passed 

 into the hands of Mr. Geo. W. Glazier, of Salem, Mass.', wi th 

 several other fine ones. Among them is Belhus, one of the 

 mo.st famous man trailers of England. I have alsoimported 

 for him from Mr. Brough's kennel the fine bith*" Benison, 

 which he secured on the 15th inst. Besides her, he has a 

 very promising young one, sister to Victor. 



One of the most powerful arguments that could be used 

 for the repeal of the section relating to bloodhounds would 

 be to have a committee visit Mr. Glazier's kennels with their 

 wives and children, and if then they do not find them the 

 most affectionate, gentle and pleasing dog. they have ever 

 seen, I will then agree with them that the law is right as it 

 stands. J. L. WlNCHELL.

LORD CLOVER'S PEDIGREE. 



Editor Forest and Stream: 



1 am sorry that t he owner of a pug dog named Lord Clover 

 should be thrown into such a state of excitement by reading 

 anythingin the "Prize Pugs of America and England." My 

 first impulse was to send him a prescription for a sedative; 

 but as time often works more wonders than drugs, I hope 

 he has returned to his normal state of mind. 



I have four different pedigrees of this pug. One published 

 by Messrs. Hudson and Gillivan, the form'er owners, one in 

 the A. K. C. Stud Book, one written by the present owner, 

 and one compiled by me from the best information I could 

 obtain at the time. " I find no two of these pedigrees agree- 

 ing, and am still inclined to think the one compiled by ray- 

 self is correct, and if I should publish another edition of the 

 book I would nob change or extend it unless I had more 

 proof than has been furnished me. 



The present owner claims that the dog's grand dam on 

 the maternal .side is champion Little Dorret. Will he kindly 

 fui'nish me, through your journal, with her English Kennel 

 Club Stud Book number? Also the E. K. C. S. B. number 

 of Nelly, if she has one? I have examined the English Stud 

 Book on several occasions to find these two bitches, but have 

 so far failed, except Nelly as the dam of Lord Clover; their 

 numbers would assist me. M. H. Ckyek.

BARZOIS-PSOVOI. 



Editor Forest and Stream: 



Up to date I have refrained from emitting any judgment 

 on the subject of the controversy re the Barzoi. I did nob by 

 any means want to be styled an "authority," and to have my 

 name indi.scriminately used for the support of this or that 

 "sharp" business purpose. At present 1 am ready to answer, 

 as far as I am able, any questions your readers may ask me 

 through the medium of your esteemed organ. 



I protest against the use of the terms "Russian wolfhound" 

 and "Barzoi," by which the variety introduced in England 

 and America is generally designated. The first name has no 

 meaning whatever, and the second is a generic name, used 

 throughout Rus.sia to designate any breed of coiu'sing bound. 

 I venture to propose the use of the term "Psovoi," literally, 

 "thick-coated," used in Russia to designate the breed which 

 has lately appeared in the show ring.s of England and 

 America. LrErx. G. TAESOVSKi.

THE HOSPICE OF ST. BERNARD FUND. 



WE sincerely trust that, for the reputation of American 

 generosity, our breeders and lovers of St. Bernards 

 will respond to the call for funds published in our last issue. 

 This benevolent institution is in danger of cea.sing to exist, 

 and it should be the care of every St. Bernard fancier to con- 

 tribute whatever he can afford to keep alive such a time- 

 honored institution. Mr. Croskey has started the ball, let 

 it roll up a goodly sum. 



Editor ForeH and Stream: I see by your valuable paper 

 that the monks ot St. Bernard are in need of funds. In- 

 closed you will please find ten dollars, which please forward 

 in the name of Lord Bute of the Menthon Kennels. Every 

 lover of the St. Bernard should open his heart and give 

 .something, if it is only SI.— Knowles Croskey.
