MT. HOLLY DOC SHOW. 



[Special Report.'] 



The first annual bench show held in connection with the 

 itith annual Burlington County Agricultural Society's fair, 

 at Mount Holly, N. J., Sept. 12 to 16, brought together many 

 well known prize winners, and several new do.gs of more 

 than average loerit, making an exhibition equal to those 

 of many kennel clubs, and though it maj'^ not call for the 

 usual technical report, the fact of the show being recognized 

 by the American Kennel Club, and the singular manner in 

 which awards were made, where the records of dogs of 

 renown suffered, some serious as well as critical remarks 

 should be made. 



Mr. J. Holmes Longstreet, who had the show under Ms 

 charge, left Mr. Frank Smith to superintend, which he did 

 in a praiseworthy mannei". 



Mr. John Diehl, who accepted the position of .I'udge, must 

 have imagined that little progress had been made since the 

 time of the pointer Sensation, and that retrogression was 

 the rule in other classes in this degenerate age, consequently 

 his singular awards aud his equally bad explanations, 

 brought down a shower of uncomplimentary remarks, .some 

 being made to his face in the ring. 



The building was well suited for the show. Spratts 

 biscuits and Burlington county beef were used to meet the 

 calls of the inner dog, and as to disinfectants, cleanliness , 

 and pure air seemed to meet all demands. 



"Have you seen the dogs;--" was whispered around, and 

 great was the crowd that swarmed through the building 

 devoted to them, and strange indeed were the remarks and 

 inquiries which they called forth. After looking at the 

 •¥10,000 dog, worth more than a farm and a spanking tean, 

 of trotters, and admiring the "animated hearth rug"— the 

 poodle champion Dexter— and one or two others, very often 

 inquiries came for the "coolies or shepherd dogs" and alook 

 of wonder then succeeded the look of curiosity, for there 

 were none on exhibition. 



It was but natural that at a country fair such dogs should 

 be on exhibition, and though the country folks may be in- 

 terested in all things curious, they are also interested in 

 everything useful to them. 



Of the larger breeds Mr. Chas Porter's Brother was a 

 good representative of the English mastiff, and their Ger- 

 man brothers the Great Danes or German mastiffs had 

 Messrs. Wei.sbrod and Hess's Bismark and Flora IL, two 

 styli.sh dark brindles with symmetry, character and agility. 

 Mr. Magnus Schulls was unlucky in having to bring his 

 harlueqiu Tyras into the ring against such, and though he 

 had the ptippy class to himself with a son and daughter of 

 this dog the second prize was withheld. 



The St. Bernard entries were chiefly well known, but when 

 such a dog as Refuge IL (winner of forty-one firsts in Eng- 

 land) is defeated there is usually some "curiosity to learn 

 something of the new aspirant. *Mr. Fred Schmidt has in 

 Otosa dog that must stand nearly 84in. aud could be made 

 to weigh SOOlbs. He has a good coat, dark orange, with 

 white collar, legs, tail tip, blaze, aud having besides dark 

 face shadings, he is about right in those respects. In head 

 he follows his .sire, Ben Lomond, and has the angular 

 rather thau the rounded outline, and though he has a 

 large, well-made head, with muz/.le, depth of lip aud col- 

 ors in hia favor, his soraewh.at light eye, showing huw, de- 

 tracts, and there is a lack of character. His limbs are good, 

 and in this he gained over Refuge IL, for he is going in 

 pasterns a.s well as stifles,whereas Otos was agile, showed the 



FOREST AND STREAM. 



sweet disposition of his dam, Corette, the beautiful daughter 

 of champion Save and champion Queen Jura, and were it 

 not for his having less flesh than is generally expected for 

 show bench condition, a want of substance and spring of 

 ribs might not have beeen noticed except by the most criti- 

 cal. A dog of such height, breeding and general excellence 

 deserves the attention of all interested in the breed, and his 

 having been bred in America, together with this, his first 

 achievement, must add to the interest. 



Mr. W. C. Reick's Lady Bountiful was only given second 

 in the bitch class, though a tall, active orange and white of 

 much merit and sired by Lord Bute, and certainly deserved 

 the blue ribbon. 



The New York St. Bernard Kennels' exhibit was a feature 

 of the show, and the dogs were in excellent form. Mr. Dan 

 -Fo.ster's Leicester won the special for the best St. Bernard in 

 the show, and was in good trim. His wife's pet, Jolly Com- 

 modore, is a pup of good color, shadings and action, and 

 competes in the rough division. 



In English setters the dogs are well known and the com- 

 petition was not strong. 



In the Irish there were two distinct types— Carrie S. and 

 Planet Chief of the cobby build, and Molly's Be.st, one of the 

 long, narrow-headed style, which the .iudge failed to appre- 

 ciate. 



The Gordon exhibit was a feature of the show. Heather 

 York met and defeated his brother, Rexmont, in the chal- 

 lenge class, reversing a decision of a better known .judge 

 made at the last Washington show, and as Mr. Diehl could 

 only find a better distribution of tan in favor of the winner, 

 the award ."may be taken for what it is worth. Comus, a 

 matured dog, met a pup in Brillmont in the open class. 

 Salmont, first in bitches, is a sister of the two challenge 

 class dogs, and the dam of Brillmont and Raymont. first in 

 puppy class- Maternal duties have prevented her exhibition 

 since her puppy wins at Chicago and Boston. 



In the pointer cla.ss Lad of Kent met Inspiration, much to 

 the sorrow of Mr. Geo. Jarvis, the proud owner of Lad. 

 When the judge exiplained that his ideal was old Sensation, 

 and Inspiration was the same color and sort of dog, the value 

 of the decision may be easily estimated, and though there 

 may be rejoicing at Philadelphia there .should not be sorrow 

 at New York. 



In greyhounds, Sir Launcelot (Gem of the Season— Lady 

 Clare) followed up his successes as a puppy at Washington 

 and Pittsburgh, by an open-class win over Mr, Leiber's Flora 

 and the Woodhaven Kennels' Spider. 



The next class where there was competition was the fox- 

 terriers, and after reference to his books, and whispered con- 

 sultations, decisions were made by the judge which do him 

 credit; for in a class where there was a chance to make an 

 error of judgment, the awards went to the right dogs. 



In bull-terriers there was a .Tim Corbett, but he got de- 

 feated, and rightly, too, for Lady Velmar first, and Re«al 

 second, were good specimens, the latter having the better 

 head and expression, and being as good in other respects, 

 deserved the blue. A nice promi.sing youngster, by Gully 

 the Great ex Wild Rose, was presented in Castle Bride, 

 the winner in the puppy class. 



There were many good dogs in the other classes, but as 

 there was little possibility for wrong decisions, it is need- 

 less to do more than refer to the list of awards below. We 

 understand that the committee see the justice of a demand 

 for a competent judge, and that at the show ne.Kt year those 

 who are "up to date" will be asked to judge, which will be 

 absolutely necessary to secure the entry of such do.gs as 

 were present this year. Edwin H. Moeris.

CENTRAL FIELD TRIAL FREE FOR ALL. 



In view of the probability of a much increased number of 

 starters in the Free for All Stake, the Central Field Trial 

 Club will change the running as follows: There will be a 

 preliminary round of four hour heats, as heretofore, but 

 the judges may slightly extend the time of any brace, if 

 necessary to make the endurance te.st clear. 



The dogs kept in for the remaining series will be run for 

 such time as is deemed necessary to a decision by the 

 judges, and the whole stake will be run under the spotting 

 .system. 



The handlers will have the privilege of handling their 

 dogs from horseback during this stake. 



Up to the pre.sent time all dogs who have shown them- 

 selves fit for a four hour heat have been perfectly able to 

 repeat the same; while the quitters fell down on their first 

 heat. It therefore appears unneces.sary to run a continued 

 four hour race, and with an increased number of starters 

 would be quite impossible 



In the opinion of all competent authorities whose expres- 

 sion we have been able to get, this is the most useful and 

 instructive stake in the whole field trial round. The club 

 desires to perfect it and make it the leading feature of the 

 season. It is believed that the above changes and the giving 

 of second and third prizes will meet the views of sportsmen 

 and considerably increase entries. 



C. H. Odell, Sec'y and Treas.
