NOTES AND NOTIONS. 



IT seems a pity that the articles by Mr. Geo. R. Krehl, 

 beaded "Fancy Free," now appeadag in the Stock- 

 Keeper, should not have ornamented some journal of wider 

 Ijretensions. True, some lover of dogs with a soul above 

 the pettinesses of the usual round of doggy matters, may 

 draw in a breath of satisfaction with the reading of such 

 charming descriptions, wherein humor is ever present and 

 buffoonery always absent; but .still, the bits of qnamt 

 moralizing and the sound views of life deserve a ^ider 

 and more permanent medium. Certainly I cannot remem- 

 ber anything in any of our leading magazines— J^Q /'per's, 

 Century^ etc. — as charming as these fresh bits of life. 



Are you not somewhat mistaken in your inference that 

 doggy interests are advancing, as demonstrated by the high 

 prices paid for St. Bernards ? Any moderately prudent 

 business man dreads a "boom" as a great evil, and^his course 

 is to make as much money out of it while it lasts, and to 

 lose a^T little in the revulsion as is possible. A very wise 

 mainifaetmer once said to me, "I hope (his manufac- 

 ture) will never get to $50." "Why?" I asked, "Why, be- 

 cause when it gets to S30 I will be so over-sold that when it 

 gets to §50 I will hf b;:;ij i-:rupted." Is not the present absurd 

 price of Lhtsiidoga oti Lhe nature of the very worst .sort 

 of baom You may say that business principles do not 

 apply to questions of "fancy. " Well, so much the wor.>ie, 

 Jftucy tiherj becojvies fashiou, J^ud im.'igiae, if you can, hoQp. 



skirts or microscopic bonnets being counted as assets. That 

 there will be a turn in this maniacal boom is as certain as 

 fate. Either purchasers will grow weary of paying prepos- 

 terous prices, or owners will become tired of such expensive 

 fads, Jn either event the bottom will drop out of the 

 "boom," aud not a few of the boomers will fall through the 

 hole.

It would be totally foreign to the spirit and purpo.se in 

 which "Notes and Notions" have always been written to 

 take any part in any disputes, acrimonious or personal i7i 

 their character, and therefore "The Onlooker" does not in- 

 tend to discuss the invited quarrel as to the withdrawal of 

 the Philadelphia Kennel Club from the American Kennel 

 Club, But doggy interests are paramount to any question 

 that can ever arise as between any doggy organizations, 

 and it is well to point out the courses in which such a dhs- 

 pute should run to do the least mischief, or, perhaps, even 

 the greater good. In addition to si)ecific ground in the rejec- 

 tion of certain proposals atlectiug field trials, the Philadel- 

 phia club arraigns the American Kennel Clubon theground 

 of cli qui .sm, incompetent and discreditable management of 

 publicaffiairs. Now the charge of "cliqnism" is one very easily 

 made, and its proof generally difficult, the difficulty lyiugin 

 the fact that if there is a clique existing, the members of 

 it take excellent care that no definite proof of their collusion 

 is permitted to escape. Therefore, the charge can only be 

 sustained by general evidences, in fereuues and indications 

 in the vast inkjorttv of cases, aud, therefore, it i.s incumijeut 

 on the A_m(?rican Kennel Club that in any defense they may 

 make to the charge of cliquisra, they do not sheltm- under 

 the mere letter, avoiding the spirit. Thi.s very difnculty in 

 proving a charge cf collusion or conspiracy is one of the rea- 

 sons why .such a charge is so often accepted, when another 

 charge, capable of definite disproof, is dhsregarded. The 

 American Kennel Club can well afford to disregard such 

 charges coming from jn-ivate individuals, either privately or 

 through the press; but they cannot afford to pass them by 

 as insignificant when brought by so weighty a body, practi- 

 cally the entire dog lovers of Philadelphia.

DOG CHAT. 



OWNERS of ti'ld dogs which they de.sire to run in the 

 Free-for-All Stake in the coming Central Field Trials, 

 must remember that the entries close Nov. 1. The stake is 

 open to all pointers and setters regardless of previous win- 

 nings, aud those sportsmen who piide themselves in the 

 po.sscy.sioo of dogs noted for endura.nce as well as speed 

 .should not let this opjiorbunity pass of winning -SI, 001) and 

 lots of glory. Entry fee is ^50, with goO additional to fill. 



Col, C, H. Odell, .secretary of the Central Field Trials 

 Club, informs us that at a special meeting of the club, held 

 Oct. 17, the following gentlemen were elected members: H. 

 B. Hollins, C. O. Iselin and Wm. L, Davis, all of New Yovk 

 city: John K. Garnett, Savannah, Ga.; Dr. S. W. Battle 

 and J. S. Churchill, of Asheville, N. C, and N. Wallace, 

 Farraington, Conn. 



SuflOicient entries and subscriptions have not been made to 

 enable the Gordon Setter Club to hold the Gordon .setter 

 field trials this year. If owners of Gordons generally had 

 shown an interest equal to the Irish setter men, and come 

 forward with their dogs and money, the trials could have 

 been held: but it cannot be expected that a few will again 

 bear the expense and trouble as was the case last year. 



As a result of the Hamilton show and a feeling that he 

 must own a good dog, Mr. Andrew Murdoch, the vice-presi- 

 dent of the H. K. C has recently purchased the Irish ter- 

 rier bitch Rugby Norah from Mrs. N. Carthew, of Hartford, 

 Eng., a well-known exhibitor on the other side. Stock- 

 Keeper (Eng ) says: "Through her parents, Rugby Mike 

 and Rue:by Sligo,^ she combines the blood of champions 

 Pagan II. and Bachelor. Nor.ah is a stylish terrier of a nice 

 size, with a good coat of the ort'nodox color, quite free from 

 whil:.e. Her toe nails are black, small ears perfectly carried, 

 a good front, straight legs and a well-formed body. Norah 

 is'game and an admirable companion. She was a winner in 

 the open and second in the novice class at Chelmsford, 

 second puppy and three specials Manchester, second Glou- 

 cester, third Darlington-" Norah has been bred to Ben IV. 

 and will be brought out to her new home next February. 



Mr. Chas. H. Mason's address is now 810 West 116bh 

 street, New York. 



Thei'e .seems to be no end to the virtues and accomplish- 

 ments of the Mexican hairless dog. Besides having the 

 power to hypnotize the panther, as gravely related in these 

 columns some time since, we now hear that he is facile 

 princepH as a cure for rheumatism. Let him lie against the 

 affected part, and the heat from his body will draw the pain 

 so cxuickly that the hottest mustard plaster will burn itself 

 out with envy. 



Dog shows ax-e increasing the interest taken in dogs in 

 Canada, and besides the notable ones recently held, shows 

 have taken place at Barrie, Ont.; Winnipeg, Man.; Halifax, 

 N. S.; Victoria, B. C; St, John, N. B., and other places. 



Those who fancy the coming breed of Barzois or Psovoi, 

 a,s Lieut. G. Tarnovski calls them, will be interested in this 

 Russian gentleman's letter explaining the true meaning of 

 the misnomer Barzoi, The breed has not become so general 

 in this country but that the name Barzoi can be dropped and 

 Psovoi substituted. Lieut. Tarnovski is an authority on the 

 l)reed and a Russian, aud should therefore be able to put us 

 on the right track in this matter. When we have seen a 

 letter written by this gentleman on the breed we shall most 

 likely have some further interesting communications to 

 make. 



Mr. J. C. Crugom, of Milwaukee, Wis., has had the mis- 

 fortune to lose by death, through pneumonia, his valuable 

 pointer bitch Dolly C. This bitch, with only six weeks' 

 pi-eparation , won second in the All-Aged Stake at Bicknell, 

 lud., when she was 1,5 months old. On the bench she won 

 first at Chicago last spring in heavy weight bitches, and we 

 remember speaking favorably of her in our report Mr. 

 Crugom is not disheartened, for he has two Duke of Hessen 

 pups and a sister of Dolly C. that are very promising, and is 

 enthusiastic over a brace of English setter dogs by Gath's 

 Mark out of Paxie Maid, which ,are two of the "finest," aud 

 of course are not for sale. 



The Elmira (N. Y.) Poultry and Pet Stock Association 

 will hold their second annual dog show Jan. 21 to 35, 1892. 

 Mr. C. A. Bowman is the secretary. After the next meeting 

 full particulars will be given out, but it is expected that the 

 prize list will be on a basis of 87 and $3, and a large number 

 of cash specials will also be given. 



Sheepdog trials seem to have become quite popular on the 

 other side, several having been held during the past month. 

 The one at Rhayada, Wales, was a most successful gather- 

 ine-, although the time allotted (ten minute,s) to pen the 

 sheep was too short, considering the difficult grounds to be 

 traversed. One dog, a cross between a collie rmd a bobtail, 

 did some very good syork in his exhibition after tne trials, 

 having lost] the prize through having one bad sheep. He was 

 the best trained dx'g ori the .ground, yi^orkiug entirely by 



whistle, and his creeping and the way he answered every 

 sound of the whistle is said by the Stock-Keeper to be extra- 

 ordinary. The specials were puppies given by Mr. C. H. 

 Wheeler, the noted collie breeder, and a very good plan, too, 

 to disseminate collies of pure breeding among the farmers 

 and shepherds. Some trials were also held at Rhyl, Wales. 

 The entries were very large, 40 being entered in the Tidal 

 Stakes. The sheep used were a wether, a ewe and lamb, a 

 contrary enough trio in all conscience. The time allotted to 

 pen wa.s ten minutes. One performance in the Local Stake 

 was especially noteworthy. Gett, an old-fashioned silver-, 

 gray, had a trio that was very wild, one fell, another broke 

 right away, and they all took to water, but still he penned 

 this difficult lot iu nine and a half minutes. Taking three 

 sheep like this across a bridge to pen is no easy matter, as 

 those who have been accustomed to the contrary ways of 

 of these "lamb-like" animals will testify. The trials which 

 our Collie Club intend to hold next year vrill, we trust, re- 

 sult in a new interest iu breeding for work. At present, as 

 might be expected, the eutries iu these trials on the other 

 side are chiefly either cross breeds or dogs of indifferent 

 lineage, very few dogs known to fame on the bench taking 

 part. 



Mr. W. C. Reick, who purchased Princess Florence during 

 his short stay iu Europe, returned on S. S. Gascogne Mon- 

 day last. Meeting him on the dock we found him loud in 

 the praise of the Princess. He says she is just as "pretty as 

 a picture," and that unlike the first sight of many animals 

 with a big reputation, his expectations were more than 

 realized when he saw her. The price paid must have been a 

 stiff one, as Mr. Chapman, it is said, had iDeen ofEered $.5,000 

 for her. Mr. Reick was not impressed by any of the does 

 over there now, with the exception of Salvator Rosa and 

 Young Bute, The former cannot be purchased, and Young 

 Bute is held at too high a figure. How^ Alta Bella came to 

 beat Princess Florence is an" enigma, explained perhaps by 

 the fact of the latter's poor condition at the time, for Alta 

 Bella is described as very faulty in hindlegs. Princess Flor- 

 ence weighed lO'i'lbs. when Mr. Reick purchased her. She 

 will arrive with young Keeper, a pup, on the Aurania next 

 Sunday or Monday. 



The intelligence of the collie has once more been brought 

 to notice through the brave work of a dog of this breed at a 

 fire in Covington, Ky., the other day. The fire broke out at 

 5 o'clock in the morning, in a one-story house occupied by 

 a widow and her four children. The animal was permitted 

 to sleep iu the kitchen, and sometime after the fire had 

 broken out he managed to reach the bedroom adjoining, 

 and jumping on the bed. barked and scratched at the face 

 of his mistress until he aroused her. Both the rooms were 

 now in flames, and another moment's delay would have 

 been fatal to the entire family. The mother managed to 

 reach the front door, aud her screams aroused the neighbors 

 and then she fell to the floor, overcome by the dense smoke. 

 In the meantime the faithful dog had dragged the two 

 yotmg children from the bed iu which they were lying half 

 dead from the smoke and had pulled them to the door, 

 where they lay when the neighbors arrived and found the 

 dog, half smothered with smoke, barking at the other two 

 children. The dog was badly scorched, but would not leave 

 the house until the family were all safely outside. The 

 house and two others adjoining were destroyed. But the 

 crowds attracted to the scene were more anxious to see the 

 dog than the ruins. And yet some people will say a dog is 

 a nuisance in the house. 



Our readers will find that in another column our Hospice 

 Fund has commenced in earnest. It does not happen very 

 often that dog lovers particularly, are called upon to sub- 

 scribe to any charity so nearly allied to a certain breed as 

 this of the jJospice of the St. "Bernard. We are sure that 

 every owner of a St. Bernard, or at-least he who makes of 

 his dog a companion, will, in imagination, when patting its 

 head, discern a mute appeal in the eyes of his favorite, and 

 we trust that few will be able to withstand it but send on 

 their dollars to this office, where they will be acknowledged 

 and forwarded to the English Stock-Keeper, which started 

 the fund. W^inter is close upon us and when the weather is 

 cold and bleak the knowledge th.at your mite may have con- 

 tributed to the saving of one poor life in the snowy passes of 

 the Mount St. Bernard will be a comforting reflection in- 

 deed. 



The following is a copy of the notice sent to the secretary 

 of the New Jersey Kennel Club to appear before the Advisory 

 committee: 



[Copy] Neav York, Oct. 22.— Mr. George L. Wilms, Sec'y N. J. 

 K. C, Jersey City, N. J.— Dear Sir: You are hereby invited to 

 at tend the meeting of the Advisory committee, to be held Wednes- 

 day, Oct. 8, at 3 P. M, at the office of the American Kennel Club, 

 where an opportunity will be afforded you to show cause why thts 

 New Jersey Kennel Club should not be prooFeded against, under 

 Article IX. See. 1 of the constitutior. of the A. K. C, as per notice 

 sent vou per registered letter Sept. 18, 1891. You are also reguested 

 to produce the books of Che New Jersey Kennel Olnb at said meet- 

 ing. Yours truly, A. P. Vredenbubgh, Sec'y. (Per registered 

 letter.) 



We :tre informed that no specific charges have been form- 

 ally preferred against the N. J. K, C, and it is doubtful if 

 they will be represented at the meeting. 



The noted bulldog Forceps, after many rumors, has at last 

 definitely changed hands, Dr. Benison having sold this good 

 bulldog to a Mr. Weston Bell. 



Talking of bulldogs reminds us of a visit we had from Mr, 

 Frank F Dole last week. He is having the usual experience 

 of those who breed these "hangers on." His bitch Queen 

 Adelaide, recently imported, afteriWhelping iu good shape, 

 lost the whole litter with the exception of one. As these 

 were by the celebrated dog King Lord, the loss is a severe 

 one. This dog is one of the best in England, his record ait 

 Edinburgh show (Scottish Kennel Club) being first iu under 

 451bs. class, special for best in open classes and the Berrie 

 cup. Friend Dole tells us, however, that he plucks up cour- 

 age by taking a look at the splendid litter ot seven that the 

 noted dachshund bitch Janet, which Mr. Mannice imported 

 through- Mr. Dole, has whelped, and which are doing well 

 iu his care. The pups are by the great Pterodactyl, the 

 crack dachshund now iu England. Mr. Dole has just pur- 

 chased from Mr, Wright the bull-terrier Ben Battle, that 

 won third at Toronto show last month. Ben may find his 

 home in California before long. Mr. Dole has "also sold 

 Edgewood Fancy to Mr. Wright. 



The New Jersey Kennel Club, at a meeting held last Tues- 

 day evening, decided to hold a dog show, and claimed the 

 dates Feb. 16 to 19, 1892. 



The trials of the New England Field Trial Club will be 

 held at Assonet, Mass., instead of Wareham, as first pro- 

 posed. Assonet is 43 miles from Boston on the Old Colony 

 Poad, and 8 miles from Pall River, Mass. 



Our advertising list is increasing weekly, showing that 

 advertisers with dogs for sale appreciate a good medium. 

 Among the new ones this week we find that C. H. Geugen- 

 bach has pointers for sale; Box 179, pair pointers; Fairmead 

 Kennels, Great Dana pups; O. H. Randall, pointer pups; 

 E. H. Bragg, beagles; C. E Glass, English setter pups; Dr. 

 Lordly, Gordon setter pups; D. H. Lockwood, Irish setters; 

 C. T. Brownell, Gordon setter pups; C. F. Kent, trained 

 foxhounds, etc.; f, W< Proefcqr, TPisU setter; J9.S,, Cs'fii^oinjj
