FOREST AND STREAM. 



87 



193 clflsses in all, 53 challenge classes, $25 to the party mak- 

 ing the largest number of entries, and *lo to second lara;est 

 number, 34 kennel prizes and sweepstake prizes. In the 

 majority of the large breeds fonr n-oney prizps of 815, $10, 

 $5 and f3 in the open classes, and $15 and diploma in chal- 

 lenge classes, sexes divided, are oftVrt-d, whilp in the follow- 

 ing classes, pointers, English, Irish and Gordon sftters, 

 collies, field spaniels, cockers, three moneys: $15. $7, $3 and 

 diploma in open classes, and SIO and diploma in challenge 

 classes, are ottered. The remaining classes have two, of 

 m, and $3 and diploma for third. There is also a rule 

 that in classes made for dogs and bitches, should there 

 be six or more entries, two classes will be made. We 

 would draw the attention of our readers to the railway and 

 express arrangements which are printed in the list, thus en- 

 abling intending exhibitors to have before their eyes the 

 rates of the different roads. There are still, we learn, .sev- 

 eral roads to hear from which will be published through the 

 press. Entries close Sept. 1. All communications should 

 be addressed to C. A Stone, secretary and superintendent 

 of Bench Show, 83 King street, East, Toronto, Ontario. 



Pearl of Pekln Protest. 



The news now comes from Mr. Brougher, secretary of the 

 American Coursing Club, that this case having been re- 

 ferred back to the club, will not he acted upon until the 

 annual meeting in October, 1893. Mr. Brongher's words 

 are: '"The executive committee have reserved their decision 

 until the October meeting of the club. They did not give 

 any reason for so doing." The protest was tntered in 

 October, 1S91, and it is a sad commentary on the way cour.s- 

 ing troubles are evidently adjusted in this country, that it 

 will take one year to decirie a question that, according to 

 the rules, should require one hour to decide, especially as 

 the evidence that Mr. Edmunds was iu the wrong seems to 

 be overwhelming. In the lace of this it. is hardly in good 

 taste for any officer of that club to ask the N. G. C. or any 

 one else to get up a sixteen dog stake and give a handsome 

 cup. We have a letter from one of the principal members 

 of the present executive committee, in which he says: "It 

 matters not to me personally, which way it goes, as each 

 party are personal friends of mine. I promise you this, if it 

 should be referred back to the club and come up before the 

 present executive committee, it will not lay on the table 

 long — let it hurt who it may." This has the right ring 

 about it, and with this coursing men and those directly 

 interested in the alfair must rest content till the meeting at 

 Great Bend. It is not at all probable thnt the N. G. C, will 

 get up a .sixteen dog state nor give the cup. 



Cat Nursing Puppies. 



.lANiTOE Enoch Edwards is having a little milleuium, 

 when we are told that the lion will lie down with the lamb, 

 ail to himself. At present in his flat is the unusual spec- 

 tacle of a cat nursmg lour Skye terrier puppies. How 

 Edwards happened to become possessed of this singular 

 combination is not without interest. Up to last week he 

 owned a Skye tei-rier bitch, but she was .stricken with 

 apoplexy or something, and died just before whelping. Her 

 owner was much moved, and in the interest of science, and 

 incidentally his own finances, he decided that the pups 

 must be saved at all co.sts. The mystery of the Caesarian 

 operation was to him a blank, but he tried it, and success- 

 fully. He tried to feed the puos by sticking their noses in a 

 saucerful of milk, but naturally this resulted in nearly suf- 

 focating them. He was about to reconcile himself to the 

 inevitable, when he bethought himself of the cat, which 

 was suckling her kitteas, and the Skyes were quickly iu- 

 stalled in the kittens' quarters during the mother's absence. 

 The cat naturally acted a little queer at first, but being a 

 sen.sible and a feline mother, she went to work and has 

 since suckled them as if they were her own flesh and blood. 

 The puppies are of ordinary size and perfectly healthy. 



Greyhounds. 



Greyhound men are continually adding new blood to 

 their kennels, and what is particularly noticeable and to be 

 commended, is the fact that gr^at attention is paid to run- 

 ning blood. Mr. James Black, of Sheepshead Bay, L. I., 

 has imported a good young greyhound dog called Flash, by 

 Col. North's Huic Holloa, out of Phoebe Mayflower. Huic 

 Holloa is a well known coursing dog, having won $8,87.5 in 

 .stakes. Col. North gave Mr. Dent, his trainer, 500 guineas 

 /or him. Mr. Black's new dog has every appearance of 

 being fast, having plenty of length and depth m the right 

 places. Mr. Black's Dolly Dollar, that won at New York, 

 whelped nine puppies recently by Prince Albert, but she 

 killed all but three. This is hard luck, as there was a good 

 market for them. Mr. Black has sold one and retains a dog 

 and bitch. He is thinking of running Dolly Dollar and the 

 new dog at the Great Bend meeting, and we trust he will do 

 so, for we should like to see the Eastern kennels well repre- 

 sented this fall. If this is done our grej hound men must 

 remember the leading cause for past defeats and send out 

 their dogs in good time to become acclimated and in fit con- 

 dition to run. 



Psovois. 



It is well to throw a light on some of the smart gentry 

 who think a dog an excellent medium whereby they can 

 turn an honest (?) penny. Stock-Keeper (Eng ) gives an 

 extract from a Russian journal called in English lire 

 Sportsman'^ Diary. The part we quote will especially 

 interest American buyers of these Busslan dogs: "* * * At 

 the last auction, which took place in the riding school of 

 the St, Nicholas Palace, St. Petersbiirg, dogs did not sell 

 easily, although the prices ran as low as three roubles, the 

 highest fetching 300 roubles. It is true that the three rouble 

 specimen was not worth that price even, being cross-bred. 

 Count Sheremeteff bought a number of dogs at this sale, 

 among them Zavlaidai, for 200 roubles; he is not a bad dog. 

 Mr. J. J. Rousseau bought several Borzois— not expensive 

 ones— for instance, one cost him six and another seven 

 roubles. All taese dogs will be sent to America, of course, 

 which country Mr. Rousseau has flooded with Borzois that 

 are not free from faults." To properly explain the pith of 

 this we may remark that a rouble is worth about sixty cents 

 in our money. 



Another St. Bernard Importation, 



The Mount Sion Kennels, Albany, N. Y., have just pur- 

 chased from Mr. Wm. Marshall, of Scotland, brother of John 

 Marshall, of Troy, the Newfoundland breeder, a rough- 

 coated St. Bernard bitch, litter sister to the late Scottish 

 Prince, and is expected by steamer Circassia next week. 

 She is described as "standing: 3lin. at shoulder, with im- 

 mense bone, a beautiful orange m color, with perfect mark- 

 ings, great depth of muzzle, best of legs and feet and per- 

 fectin disposition." Mr. Marshall was the breeder of Scottish 

 Prince, also Sunray, Harmony and Scottish Leader, owned by 

 the Swiss Mountain Kennels, and several others of note It 

 is from Mr Marshall's kennel Mr. Sidney Smith has picked 

 up so many youngsters that have afterward made their 

 mark in the" St. Bernard world. 



Cuffing Elcho at Kingston. 



On this subject Dr. Mills writes: "After Mr. Wade's 

 fiasco regarding the charge of cruelty to a hound I showed 

 at Kingston, it is plain to me, as I think it must be to 

 others, that hii object is simply to annoy me. I shall, 

 therefore, take no further notice of anything that Mr. Wade 

 may write affecting my character or reputation. If any of 

 the 'gentlemen of txndoubted veracity' he refers to wil 



make the same charge as Mr. Wade over his own signature 

 in any Canadian paner, I will however make him prove it in 

 a court of law or suffer the conseciuences— if he is worth that 

 much attention." 



As an afterthought Mr. Wade sends us the following: 

 "While I have no wish to trespass on your stand against 

 prolonging the wrangle between Dr. Mills and myself, may 

 I not point out that I have never quoted the iiTcident as to 

 cuffing ears as hointi, in itsiif, wrong. I simply pointed it 

 out as an illustration of where ultra refinements of dog 

 show moralities would land us." 



Coursing at Merced, Cal. 



The people of Merced, Cal., will give a purse of $1,000 for 

 a coursing ineeting next year, open to the world, but with 

 this proviso, that Mr. John Grace will guarantee to sports- 

 men of Merced that he will be on hand to judge the meetiL'g. 

 The Calif orni an s are afraid to hold a large meeting unless 

 they are certain of having a judge that can be relied upon 

 to give fair decisions. The experience at Madera last year 

 taught them a lesson. Dr. Irwin Royce is making strenuous 

 efforts to have a coursing meeting at Topeka, Kan., this 

 year; he savs in a letter to Judge Grace that it is a grand 

 location, with eleven miles square of open country and jack- 

 rabbits ad iiliiiiuih. 



A Hunt Club For Albany. 



The following gentlemen, Messrs. Henry A. Peckham, 

 William M. Whitney, .Tr., C. L. A, Whitney, I-ewis Balch 

 and George D. Miller, have formed a society to be known as 

 the Albany County Hunt. The particuldr object or purpose 

 of the society shall be the keeping and owning of foxhounds 

 for the purpose of bunting and for other lawful sporting 

 purposes. 



Marc Anthony Dead. 



The well known St. Bernard Marc Anthony died last week 

 of apoplexy. Last year he won first in the puppy class at 

 New York show, and at the time of his death was owned by 

 Mr. White, of Staten Island, Marc Anthony was a son of 

 Courage III. out of champion Cleopatra and bred by Mr. 

 Daniel Mann. He was only two and a half years old when 

 he died. 



Beagle Stormy. 



Mr. George Laick, of Tarrytowo, N. Y., has sold the 

 beagle field trial winner Stormy (10,785) to Mr. F. B. 

 Zimmer, Glover.sville, N, Y"., secretary of the dog show that 

 is held in that town. 



Now that the grouse season is near at hapd, the principal 

 pointer and setter breeders for the field in England are 

 .sending drafts from their kennels to Aldridge's auction sales 

 in London. We notice that Mr, Heywood Lonsdale had 

 some up the other day, ten setters realized $835; a lemon and 

 white bitch, Alpha, bringing $l30. Beacon, a pointer, 

 brought $157. The prices do not seem large considering their 

 breeding and field qualities. 



The best Chtmber spaniel imported to this country so far-, 

 at least of those seen in public, is dying and may by this 

 time have passed to the other side. This is Mr. Mercer's 

 Lady Snow. Unfortunately she has never been iu really 

 good health since she was imported, as she ari'ived in 

 wretched condition. 



Dog shows and field trials are working the good in Cali- 

 fornia that they have already done in the East, and the 

 sportsmen of the Pacific Slope are making constant drafts 

 on the best blood that can be procured in Kastero kennels. 

 Mr. R. L. Gnrduer, of Oakland, Cal., received July 7, from 

 the Blue Ridge Kennels, two young English setters, a 

 dog by Gatb's Hope ex Tempest, she by Count Noble ex Lit. 

 and a bitcli by Galh's Mark ex Princess .loy. They arrived 

 alter the long journey in good condition. Mr. L. S. Camp- 

 bell, of the Bay View Kennels, will have them in charge. 



Mr. H. H. Hunnewell, Jr., of Wellesley, Mass., is a new 

 fancier in the fox tei-rier field, and will also go in for brown 

 poodles. At present he has a fox-terrier bitch, Meg, a 

 daughter of the wire-hair Tyke imported by G. E I, Grain- 

 ger, and two puppies. He has ordered two good bitches and 

 a dog from England. In poodles he nas a good brown one, a 

 prize winner at Paris, France, shows, and has left a com- 

 mission in that city for a first-class dog and bitch. His 

 kennels are called Hill Hurst, and are now in process of 

 erection. 



Mr. Frank F. Dole, the well known bull-terrier man, and 

 his brother have organized an athletic and sporting goods 

 company in New Haven, Conn., to be called the Dole 

 Brothers Co. 



Mr. C. F. R. Drake, treasurer of the National Greyhound 

 Club and part owner of the Tubby Hook Kennels, has not 

 been well for some time and has taken a trip to Houghton, 

 Mich., for his health, and will not return till September. 

 He has just had presented to him a fine foxhound by ch. 

 Bravo (9,291) out of Frances (15,409). He tells us that he 

 has seen outthere somevery good deerhounds of Mr. Thayer's 

 stock, and one, a puppy, he speaks very high'y of, remark- 

 ing that "it would make some of the New York cracks 

 hump themselves"— and why not? 



The Seminole Kennels have ^purchased from Mr. F. H. 

 Perry of DesMoines, Iowa, his Irish setter Pride of Patsy. 

 The bitch Nino, formerly owned by Mr. Perry and now bv 

 Gail W. Hamilton, and a well-known prize winner, was bred 

 to Claremont Patsy, and on June 23 whelped a litter of ten, 

 five of which were dogs. 



A poor old toper, who was in the habit of getting lost on 

 his way home, was asked how he could afford to keep the 

 dog that was always with him. "That dog," he said, "not 

 only boards himself, but finds me."— Boston Post. 



Among the records of the Superior Court there is a quaint 

 little volume containing interesting reminders of the early 

 days of Baltimore. The book has 564 small-size pages, 

 on which are recorded indiscriminately everything legal 

 thought worthy to be preserved. It embraces the time from 

 June 2, 1741, to Aug. 3, 1750. Among other curious entries 

 is the following, recorded by J. Bierewood, clerk: "This 

 day John Bell, planter, on My Lady's Manor, in Baltimore 

 county, with his son, Frederick Bell, about 12 years old, 

 who had unfortunately lost his left ear by the bite of a 

 dogg about a year agone, to the truth of which he attested, 

 and rf quested me to record the same, and recorded accord- 

 ingly 30bh June, 1746."— BaZtimo re Sun. 



Af-cording to Stock-Keeper Mr. T. Duerdin Dutton,the 

 well-known St. Bernard breeder, has lost his celebrated St. 

 Bernard, Tiger HI., through fatty degeneration of the heart, 

 the dog being found dead in his kennel. The dog was by 

 Pliny out of champion Grace, and , up to 1S90, had won thirty- 

 four prizes. 



Bulldogs must be a popular breed in England to be able 



to support two specialty clubs. A new one has been formed 

 in England called the British Bulldog Club, with head- 

 quarters at Manchester, the first meeting has been held and 

 the first specials Will be given at the coming Gloucester 



show. Mr. Cyril F. W. Jackson is the secretary of the new 

 organization. 



Mr. Mortimer has for some time had a sneaking liking 

 for a dachshund, and it seems that the missing dachshund 

 that we read about in the English papers after the Shtffipld 

 show was one that this gentleminn had claimed at that 

 show and the secretary had omitted to advise the previous 

 owner of the transaction. The dog's name is Tack and 

 with it Mr. Mortimer won his first prize on Eoglish soil at 

 Belper show the other day. Mr. Mortimer also takes one 

 of the Feldman K —Bessie K. litter, that Mr. Klocke, of 

 Pittsburgh, tells us are now weaned, Mr. Frank Dole, we 

 believe, taking nearly all the rest of them. 



The kennel of English setters and pointers belonging to 

 Mes,srs, .los. H. and J. A. Hunter has been moved to Rloom- 

 ingtou, Monroe count\', Ind. This reminds us that "Joe" 

 Hunter has lately been devoting his .spare time to trap 

 shootintr, and though we can scarcely term him a "Black 

 Wonder," .still he has surprised his many fi-iends by hisskill 

 with the shooting iron. At the Washington Trap Shoot he 

 tied with such a noted shot as Miller, and carried off .several 

 prizes; then he ran down to the big shoot at Knoxville. 

 Tenn., where he won several sweeps and a lot of specials. He 

 is one of the prime movers of the Washington Gun Cluband 

 very popular among his fellow members. 



Mr. Sidney Smith seems to have a faculty for getting hold 

 of real good things in St. Bernards, for now we learn that 

 he has a pup by the late Scottish Prince out of a sister to 

 Mr. Moore'slat'e Alton, that will, it is promised, "bang Bana- 

 gher," and we all know what he did. Our informant says 

 "it is the largest and finest specimen ever bred." This can 

 be no other than the dark star we alluded to a week or two 

 since. 



Mr. Manice's two dachshund bitches that he purchased 

 from the English dachshund breeder. Mr. Harry Jones, 

 have arrived, and he is well pleased with them. 



The secretary of the A. K. C. is all ready for business 

 now, as far as the World's Fair is concerned, having pro- 

 cured a ponderous volume containing 1,600 duplicate certifi- 

 cates of registry, which owners of dogs that »re intended to 

 be entered in the World's Fair show must supply themselves 

 with at a fee of 50 cents each. This, with $1 for registration 

 in the A. K. C, and the $1.-50 for entry fee to the show, 

 makes the amount f((ual to an ordinary $3 entry fee; $1.50 

 of this will be returned providing the dog is absent Irom 

 the show. The .50 cents extra that the A. K. C. charges for 

 the certificate ol reeistry may seem rather exorbitant, but 

 it is the intention of the club to devote this money to the 

 purchase of silver medals, which will be donated by the A. 

 K. C. at difi^erent shows. 



Last Thursday we took a run up to the northern part of 

 New York city and in the wilds of Morrisania we snent a 

 pleasant hour or two looking over Mr. J. B. Blossom's Gor- 

 dons and Mr. George Jarvis's pointers. First wetook a look 

 at Lad of Kent, who seemed as vigorous and full of health 

 as ever: Lass of Kent, his kennel companion, is heavy in 

 whelp to King of Kent, and the 23d is the date that "George" 

 expects the advent of .=ome future champions The setter 

 Rock Belton and a promising pup by Lad of Kent completed 

 the kennel. Then we took a stroll over to Mr. Blossom's 

 delightful place, but sorry we were that the ro.se garden's 

 glory had almost dfparted. Old Beaumont, Heather Bee 

 and York, well known to fame, seemed fit to show any 

 moment, and champion Kelso, the Irish setter, was another 

 interesting pet that has the freedom of the place. We were 

 just about returning when Mr. Blossom came up from the 

 city, and this was the .signal for an adjournment to the cool 

 of the dining room, where Mr. Blossom dispensed his hospi- 

 tality with a true knowledge of the average dogman's weak- 

 nesses. 



Mr. M. H. Thiman has sold the noted Irish setter Geh. 

 Husted to Miss N. Frances H. Cole, who in turn presented 

 it to Mr. T. Chevalier of New York city. This dog is look- 

 iner very well now, having filled out very nicely since the 

 early spring, when he won several prizes. Mr. Thiman also 

 sold Duke, an English setter, to Mr. Louis Contoit, the 

 well-known Irish setter breeder. 



The well-known prize winner Irish setter Noma whelped 

 July 11 nine puppies (six dogs), by the no less noted Duke 

 Elcho. Edna H., who is also well known as a big winner 

 from the same kennel, was bred July 8 to the same dog. 



There are several new kennel advertisements this week. 

 Among them we find Gladerigo Kennels have seven English 

 setter pups for sale; New York St. Bernard Kennels, several 

 litters of ptippies by their noted dogs; W. G. Kingsley, 

 brok n liver and white setter; Handsome Brook Kennels 

 cocker spaniels; John Fox, pointer bitch; Frank Forest 

 Kennels, beagles; C. T. Brownell, five Gordon pups; Dr. 

 Leo, Great Danes; Geo. Betts, cocker and field spaniels. 

 Wants.— T. R. Burns, Irish spaniel; J. H. Lindsay, bulldog.
