THE WESTERN MICHIGAN SHOW. 



Editor Forest and Sti-eam: 



1 cannot help noticing, with j'our permission, the letter of 

 Mr. Bates, secretary of the Kingston show, published in 

 your issue of the 8th inst. It was bad enough for Kingston 

 to come along long after we had claimed ottr dates and pub- 

 lish the same dates for their show, but when any club re- 

 .soi'ts to such direct slurs as he makes use of regarding our 

 entry fee and "novice" management of our show, as he 

 terms it, I feel that this "patent medicine" style of trying 

 to draw from our entry is very unbecoming. Do you "sup- 

 pose there is another man in the same official capacity In 

 this country or Canada that would write such an article 

 with the direct purpose of injuring another show. No, sir; 

 and perhaps the "novice" management of the Grand Eapids 

 show may have as strong prestige among his American 

 cousins as he has, which may affect his entry more next 

 year than this. We certainly appreciate the "two years" 

 experience of the Kingston Club in the "novice class," and 

 if they took two "flr.- ts" we are glad to welcome themiti 

 the class that "know it alL" Perhaps Mr. Bates, if he was 

 a little better acq^uaiuted with the "novice" management of 

 our show, woitld have saved his remarks for a more suitable 

 occasion. We wish Kingston a success, and if our "baby" 

 is a failure we will publish it. 



Chas. K. Faemee, Vice-President W. Mich. K, Club. 



Whippet Racing. 



On Wednesday afternoon of Toronto show, there was a 

 race between George Thomas's Boston Model and Campbell 

 <fc Blake'.s Maggie. Though beaten on the bench, the latter 

 fully revenged her defeat by beating Model twenty yards in 

 200 in 13 secoud.s. Af terward.«, with Tip as pacemaker, 

 Maggie did the distance iu 12% seconds on a somewhat 

 roughcour.se. "Tom" Blake gave exhibition every day in 

 front of the big grand stand, and the racing created a lot of 

 interest. His dogs will run at Grand liapids this week, 

 when probably a big match will be brought off. 



DOG CHAT. 



Toronto Dog- Show. 



As the show progressed the management settled dovvn to 

 something resembling order, and aisles were swept up, and 

 by Thursday morning the show smelled pretty sweet. We 

 should advise Mr. Stone to lay in next year's supp'y of saw- 

 dust for rings, etc., at once, so tliat no contretemps can 

 happen in 1893, It is not particularly nice for judges and 

 exhibitors to indulge in a species of hurdle racing about the 

 ring to keep measurably clean. The catalogue, when it fin- 

 ally issued in its entirety, was quite an ambitious alfair. 

 Each breed had a standard or description drawn up at the 

 head by some well known breeder. This is a useful feature, 

 especially for the "recruits." The catalogue was, however, 

 lamentably full of errors; we hate to find so much fault, but 

 in future it would be well for the secretary, if he has not 

 time to do the work himself, to employ some good clerk and 

 give him full charge of the whole clerical business, and let 

 him have say a W. K. C. catalogue to go by. The entries 

 closed in ample time to do the work properly, and it should 

 be done, as nothing galls a man more than to find his own 

 or his dog's name only a resemblance to the truth. We are 

 told the feeding was good and the food well cooked and en- 

 joyed by the dogs; some local firm supplying the biscuits we 

 believe. The disinfeeting— well, the less said about that the 

 better. 



There is another point in connection with this show that 

 should l^e corrected next year. The rules under which the 

 show is held state that puppies shall not be shown under 

 six months old, or to that effect. There were puppies 

 shown then at Toronto that were little over so many weeks 

 old, and their pens were kept in a shocking state. There 

 was even a great Dane bitch with a big litter, and 

 the puppies, to get out of the reeking mess, climbed on the 

 mother's back. This sort of thing frustrates every good 

 that the aforesaid rule was intended to do. 



The visitors at the show from all parts were numerous, 

 and the Canadian Kennel Club meeting was attended by 

 some 40 fanciers. It was a delight to see the manner in 

 which they all seemed to join in the discussions, contrary to 

 the custom of our A. K. C. meetings, where two or three 

 delegates do the talking and the others throwup their hands 

 when "held up" by the leaders. The Canadians seem to 

 enter into their discu.ssions most heartily and con amore. 

 In conclusion, we must not forget to mention that among 

 the hard-working stewards were Capt. Greville Harston, 

 who really worked like a Trojan in Mr. Davidson's ring, and 

 Mr, W. F. Fraser stuck to his duties well iu Mr, Mason's 

 behalf. Mr. H, B. Donovan spared suf3Eicient time from his 

 multifarious work for Mr. F. C, Wheeler's i^enefit, and Mr. 

 A. W. Smith was also an active volunteer. The fair, as 

 usual, was a great attraction, and the people crowded into 

 the town to the tune of about 80,000 during the week. The 

 judging gave almost general satisfaction. In only a few in- 

 stances was grumbling indulged in, and results were taken 

 philosophically. 



A New Kennel. 



We always like to hear from those who are just starting 

 in and of the dogs they commence with. Some time since 

 we spoke of Mr. H. H. Hunnewell, Jr., having contracted the 

 fever, and are now able to give some interesting particulars 

 of his "nucleus," In wire-haired fox-terriers he has im- 

 ported three bitches: Petition; breeder, Mr. Spennly, Eng- 

 land; by Ebor Nick out of Keldgate Bell; whelped March, 

 1889. She has won second at Cruft's show in 1891, and other 

 prizes. Oakleigh Flirt, breeder Mr. Lindsay llogg, is by 

 Oakleigh Hymen out of Nettle, and was whelped June, 1890. 

 Meg II. is by Tyke out of Vixen. His dog is Oakleigh 

 Bruiser, by Dudley Rarity out of Burrett, a fine, promising 

 all white dog, whelped June, 1891. In brown poodles he has 

 Pooh-Bah, breeder J. Coulin, Paris, whelped November, 

 1888. This dog won third prize at the Paris show of 1890. 

 He was purchased from Miss Post in Paris, France. Ida is 

 a very fine brown poodle, which he has only just received 

 from Paris. She won second at the doe show in that city 

 this summer. She was whelped May, 1891. Mr. Himnewell 

 is building extensive kennels, and expects several more 

 wire-hairs yet; so we suppose he will have to be reckoned 

 with when the shows come round next year. 



Death of Champion Foreman. 



The death of this well known and justly celebrated Eng- 

 lish setter last week, from old age, removes from the at- 

 mosphere of the show ring a dog around whom was at- 

 tached a general interest at one time. This was in the days 

 of Plautagenet, etc, and the early 80s, and when our friend 

 "Billy" Tallman was right in it, both on bench and field, 

 for Foreman was a corker among the quail as well as on the 

 bench. This dog probably won more prizes than any other 

 during the twelve years of his life. He was whelped Feb. 

 26, 1880, and was by Dashing Monarch otit of Fairy II., and 

 therefore truly bred in the purple. His first winning bracket 

 was hung up at Bo.ston in 1883. The name of Foreman 

 was always associated with those of "Billy" Tallman and 

 Fred Crawford, of Pawtucket, R. T. At one time Fore- 

 man, we are told, was sold for $2,.500. His best win iu the 

 field was in 1881, when he won the All-Aged Stake at the 

 Eastern Field Trials, and he also won the Members' Stake 

 in 1885, at High Point, N. C. He was bred by Mr. J. C. 

 Higgins and owned at one time in Canada. One by one the 

 old landmarks pa.ss away, but there does not seem to be 

 that romance and keen interest surrounding those that take 

 their places; is it that the dogs are not so good or is the 

 change in the owners ? 



The Flour City Kennel Sale. 



We cannot say that Mr. Whitney's resolve to give up try- 

 ing to breed ma.stiffs surprises tis very much, for if any one 

 has had hard luck enough to break any man's fancier heart, 

 this gentleman has experienced it. A little ray of .sunshine 

 now and then, in the way of a living litter, tends to keep a 

 man on the lookout for a turn in the tide of ill luck, but Mr. 

 Whitney has not even had this. After expending some |i9,000 

 he finds him.self with one puppy of his own breeding. What 

 he has seen during his 1 at visit to England convinces bim 

 they are' not much better olf over there. His dogs are all for 

 sale and to the highest bidder, bids to be sent to Mr. W. 

 Wade, Hulton, Pa., and the top one gets his choice. This is 

 an opportunity for mastiff breeders of limited means to 

 secture some of the cream of the fancy at pretty nearly their 

 own prices. We know Mr. Whitney willnot give up thefancy 

 altogether, and probably with a smaller kennel and a new 

 deal he may have better luck. We hope so. 



Inhuman Treatment of Dogs. 



One of the most inhuman and dastardly actions that any 

 man, dogman or otherwise, has been guilty of was exposed 

 at Toronto show on the arrival of a "box of dogs" consigned 

 to the show and owned by Mr. F. W. Wilson, of Chatham, 

 Canada. Every one knows what a caroenter's chest is like, 

 this was the shipping crate and measured 3ft. by 2it 6in., 

 and in this a supposed fancier of dogs had the brutality to 

 force seventeen great Dane puppies and two fox-terriers. On 

 the box being opened nine puppies and a fox-terrier were 

 found to be dead. The affair has disgusted every one here, 

 and sorry we are that we shoidd have to include a man who 

 could do such a thing among the members of dogdom. Mr. 

 Wilson is no novice, for he has exhibited dogs here for two 

 or three years. 



Notes from New Eng-land. 



Mr. "Bob" Leslie, of Lynn, Ma.ss., was in New York city 

 last Monday a,nd dropped into our sanctum. He brought a 

 few bits of New England gossip; but the worst that we 

 heard was of the accident that happened to Mr. E B. Sears. 

 It seems he so wrenched his ankle that two ligatjjents were 

 broken. We are happy to hear, however, that the owner of 

 Sir Bedivere can get about again, though progress is pain- 

 ful. Mr. Sears wished to resign the presidency of the Lynn 

 Club, but better counsel prevailed, and he will retain office 

 till next May. The other day Mr, Sears received word that 

 Sir Bedivere had sired a litter of seventeen pnps. This in 

 itself should be sufficient to make Mr. Sears reconsider his 

 idea of giving up the dogs. We hear that liiiOO was offered 

 and refused for his Wyoming Prince, a son of the late cham- 

 pion Hesper. 



Canada's Fox-Terrier Club. 



A meeting of fox-terrier men was held a,t the Walker 

 House, Toronto, Sept. 12. Alderman A. D. Stewart, of Ham- 

 ilton, was in the chair. H. B. Donovan acted as .secretary. 

 It was decided to form the Canadian Fox-Terrier Club, and 

 officers were elected as follows: Patron, William Hendrie, 

 Sr., Hamilton; President, R. Gibson, Delaware; Secretary- 

 Treasurer, H. P. Thomp.son; Committee, F. S. Wetherall, 

 Compton, Quebec; G. Bell, Toronto; J. W. Morden, Hamil- 

 ton; James Lindsay. Montreal; F. R. Close, Hamilton; S. 

 Monro, London; G. S. Oldrieve, Kingston; J. V. Bennett, 

 Toronto; P. Smyth, Toronto. The fox-terrier fancy iu 

 Canada is increasing .so rapidly that it will not be long be- 

 fore the spaniel men will have to share the honors of popu- 

 larity. 



Lawsuit About a Dog. 



It will be remembered that Mr. A. W. Smith's celebrated 

 black and tan terrier bitch Buffalo Lass was smothered in 

 transit to the New York show last spring. Mr Smith, se- 

 curing certificates from Drs. Glover and' Foote as to the 

 cause of death, has now brought stiit against the American 

 Express Co. for |200 damages, and the trial comes off this 

 week in the Supreme Court, Buffalo, N. Y. The outcome 

 will have an important bearing on the legality, etc, of the 

 release clause that dogmen have to sign, and how far ex- 

 press companies are liable for death and injuries to dogs 

 traveling in their care. 



Mr. Jarrett's Purchases, 



Mr. W. Brodie did not hold his Irish terrier bitch Can- 

 dour very long after his arrival in Canada. Mr. Jarrett, who 

 likes a daredevil almost as well as the milder collie, gave, it 

 is said, . 1500 for her. With her ears cropped she will act a 

 leading part in future shows, and Mr. -Jarrett must be con- 

 gratulated on his plucky purchase. Mr. Jarrett also picked 

 up a good collie in Toronto Wonder, and a dog that, under 

 Mr. Jarrett's skillful manipulation may be expected to take 

 much higher honors than he did at the Toronto show last 

 week. 



More Importations. 



The steamer Cuflc, of the White Star Line, arrived from 

 England Sept. 13 with two collie dogs, Nellie and Wallace, 

 froin Mr. Geo. F. Bowden, consigned to Mr E. H, Morris. 

 These are the sheep dogs that have been imported especially 

 with regard to their working capabilities, and will compete 

 at the sheep dog trials at the Trenton (N. J.) fair. A wire- 

 haired terrier was also received consigned to Mr. T. S. Bel- 

 lin, 31 Park .street, Albany, N. Y. 



Death of a Valuable Terrier. 



Mr. Henry Brooks, of West Medford, Mass., has the sym- 

 pathy of all sportsmen and lovers of the dog, at his cruel 

 ill-luck in losing his grand Scotch terrier bitch Gerda, which 

 died the first morning of the Toronto show from mpture of 

 the stomach. Gerda was lately imported from England and . 

 was own sister to his crack little dog Kilroy, champion Kil- 

 dee — Bitterweed, 



At Toronto last week we saw a rather unique style of eva- 

 sion of the cruelty laws. A scissor grinder coming into 

 town had a dog, looked something of the Chesapeake order, 

 chained to his machine by two chains which centered on the 

 dog's collar at the back. The dog apparently trotted along 

 at the side of the big wheel, but in reality he lugged the 

 whole concern, the man simply guiding the wheel. It was 

 real downright hard work for the dog, and if the owner 

 values his pocket or liberty he had better keep on the north- 

 ern side of the line. 



We regret to hear from Mr. W. C. Reick that his young 

 stud dog Prince Clifford w9jS killed last week by an engine 

 on the rails at Seabright, N. -J. These second'strings are 

 useful in a large kennel and it is too bad to lose such dogs 

 in so shocking a manner. 



Mr. L. C. Whiton's greyhound Spinaway is now in Eng- 

 land iu Mr. Geo. Raper's care, and will remain some time 

 and be bred to Y'"oung Pullerton. Mr. Whiton will run 

 jointly with Mr. Lowe the greyhound Lord Neverstill at 

 Great Bend next month. The Brooklyn catalogue will 

 have pictures of typical specimens of each breed at the head 

 of the classes, and a special effort will be made to make the 

 catalogue a work of art as well as reference. 



LTnder a misinterpretation of the rules, Mr. Jarrett en- 

 tered his crack collie Wellesbourne Charlie in the novice 

 class at Toronto and won. Mr. McEwen protested the 

 award and entry, and a committee meeting being held, the 

 dog was disqualified and, we believe, the entry fee re- 

 turned. It does not seem just to the novices that a dog like 

 Wellesbourne Charlie, who has won prizss at shows in 

 England and some under C. K. C. rules, should be allowed 

 to compete in our novice classes. This subject was dis- 

 cussed some time since, and the Canadian rule bearing on 

 novice classes was changed to bar prize-winning dogs from 

 England from competing in these classes. Mr. Jarrett, 

 however, complained that, though the C. K. C. rule said 

 "recognized shows in Canada, the United States or Eng- 

 land," the list of recognized shows in Eagland was not 

 given in the premium list, as was the case with the other 

 two countries. 



We have heard capital accounts of the dog biscuits 

 made by Messrs. Austin & Graves. During our visits to 

 the New England kennels, we notice that this brand of bis- 

 cuit is to be found in almost every kennel, and we all know 

 that the average New Englander is not given, as a rule, to 

 waste money on worthless articles. 



Mr. M. Flynn, Jr., we see in the business column, is offer- 

 ing some choice Irish setter pups ridiculously cheap, out of 

 Sedan by Glen Jarvis. The progeny of such animals should 

 soon be snapped up, for we all know what a capital field 

 bitch Sedan is, for did she not win the All-Age Stake at 

 High Point last year at the Irish setter field trials? 



Dr. O. Stewart Bamber, secretary of the Rochester Kennel 

 Club, writes: "Considering the small money offered we are 

 very well satisfied with an entry of over 100 dogs. St. 

 Bernards are strongest with 14 entries, mastiffs second with 

 13, all breeds represented contain representative dogs." 



Any one not receiving preminm lists for bench show 

 and trials of National Beagle Club should address: Field 

 Trial Committee, N, B. C, Box 230, Boston, Mass.
