FOREST AND STREAM, 



[Sept. 29, 1893. 



THE GRAND RAPIDS DOG SHOW. 



The first annual bench show of the Western Michigan 

 Kennel Clnb was held at Grand Rapids, Mich., beginning 

 Sept. 20, and ending on the 33d, lander the anspice.s of the 

 Western Michigan Agricultural and Industrial Society. 

 The officers of the kennel club labored under many disad- 

 Tantages in arranging for the show and in conducting it, as 

 the officers of the Agricultural and Industrial Society had 

 little faith in it as a whole, while some were actively opposed 

 to it. They did not consider it an attraction or a benefit to 

 the fair. How incapable good business men sometimes are 

 in estimating the value of matters out.side their own every- 

 day experience was never better demonstrated than at the 

 Society's fair. Among all the attractions x'l'esented, the 

 horse racing included, none compared with the dogs in 

 drawing a crowd. Ou Wednesday and Thur.sday, the aisles 

 were literally packed with a throng eagerly curious, from 

 early morning till the show closed at night, and so constant 

 was the dense ci-owd that the reporters gave up all attempts 

 to look the dogs over on those days. There was no addi- 

 tional charge made to see the dogs. 



So great was the success that there was already under 

 cou,sideration a plan for doubling the space allotted to the 

 dogs, and making the dog show a permanent feature, run- 

 ning it on broader lines in every way, and charging a small 

 additional fee to those who desire to see the dogs. 



The Gi'eat Danes were constantly inquired for, and were 

 unifornaly called Russian bloodhounds by the inquirers. 

 The §5,000 dog also excited great inquiry, that dog being the 

 celebrated pointer Ossian. 



The quality of the dogs was quite good, better by far than 

 the average first attempt of clubs. 



The officers were most attentive and painstaking, and con- 

 sidering that it was a first attempt it was well managed. 

 The show was kept throughly disinfected, but might have 

 been tidier. There were not enough attendants to do the 

 work properly, but this again bad an easy explanation 

 in the caution of the society io expending too much on the 

 show. The building was distressingly close and warm when 

 so crowded, but arrangements will be made for the free.st 

 ventilation of the next show. The dogs were fed on Austin's 

 dog bread. 



The president, Mr. Eugene Gla.ss. the vice-president, Mr. 

 Ghas. K. Turner, the secretary, Mr. Geo. B. Thomas, Mr. H. 

 Dale Adams and other officers worked diligently in con- 

 ducting all the details. 



There were 179 entries catalogued, but a nuuiber were 

 absent, and some were present but not catalogued. 



Mr. John Davidson judged the sporting classes and Great 

 Danes: Mr. Roger Williams judged greyhounds and fox- 

 hounds, and Mr Frank C. Wheeler judged the non-sporting 

 classes. AH gave good satisfaction, yefc one judge could 

 have easily handled all the classes and saved the club the 

 additional expen.se. 



The weather was close and sultry on the first three days. 

 A heavy rain fell on Friday afternoon. 



The club held a meeting on Wednesday eveniue and ti-ans- 

 acted business of a routine character. The judges of the 

 show were elected to honorary membership, and' about 20 

 ajjplications for membership were received. In the matter 

 of field trials, a new committee was appointed, with full 

 power to act in making all arrangements for the club's trials 

 next No\'emher. 



It was .said tjjHt the club received entries up to the open- 

 ing of the show, thus receiving them after the published 

 date of closing, and some complications with the A. K. C. 

 were hinted at in consequence. 



Mastiffs.— But one mascifE was shown, and he was ordi- 

 nary, taking second in the dog class, first being withheld. 



St. BeknAuds.- They were inferior specimens. Leo, light 

 in bone, narrow skull and poor hind legs, had a walk over 

 in open dogs. Two bitches competed, Princess .Josephine 

 won first easily, though her hind legs are faulty. Queen 

 Agnes, second, has a light, weak head, poor hind legs, and 

 hardly de.served the second prize. There were no smooth- 

 coats on exhibition. 



Great Danes.— A remarkably good exhibit of this breed 

 wasmade, although Melac and Pedro, the challenge entries, 

 were absent. In dogs Favor, a superior dog, having a grand 

 head and excellent legs and feet, on which he stood squarely, 

 an upstanding, spirited-looking fellow, took first easily. 

 Brutus, straight hindlegs and light body, an average speci- 

 men, took second. Open bitches had five competitors, of 

 which Lenta proved the winner; she is a good bitch, but 

 was .shown too thin in flesh and is light in barrel. Kelpie 

 second, is flat in ribs, legs straight and strong, and feet 

 good. Young Pearl took the reserve; quite a good puppy 

 Charmion, vhc, w on the coarse side. Young Pearl was 

 easily first in puppies, but was afterward protested and dis- 

 qualified for being over age. E hoebe, second, is liaht is bar- 

 rel and ordinary. The disqualification of Young Pearl gave 

 Rhoebe fi -St place. 



Geethound.s.— Master Rich, well known as a winner had 

 no conapetition in the challenge class. He was looking 

 well. King Dick, a strong, well-built dog, with a slight 

 tendency to coarseness, was an easy winner of fir.st in the 

 dog class. He has good bone and muscular development 

 showing tbe mature form of an aged dog, though but little 

 over a year old. Montezuma, second, is flat-ribbed with a 

 tendency to weediness. He had a walkover in the puppv 

 class. Jumper, the only remaining en;-,ry, had goitre, which 

 destroyed his chance.s of winning anything. In bitches. 

 Lady Olivia won over Leonie, the latter having remarkable 

 control ot her ears, one of which she carripd erect at times 

 She was far better than the winner, with the exception of 

 the fault mentioned. Lady is light in bone and sprung too 

 much in nbs, and is lacking in symmetry. Prim vh^ is 

 pig-] awed. ' , 



Psovois.— There was but one, and that one was for exhi- 

 bition only. He is owned by Mr. Roger Williams, who had 



H0XH0UND,s.— Five dogs competed. Roger II, won first 

 He IS throatiy, is deficient somewhat in symmetry, yet is a 

 fairly good hound. Toot, second, is coarse. Willie H re 

 serve was out of condition, being too thin in flesh; but' for

 Class, Bell G. being first, andHattie L., plain in head, fore- 



feet a little open, was second. There was a class for black 

 pointers, iii which Don Fish-el won first without compe- 

 tition. 



BmCtLish Setters. — A very good .showiug was made in 

 these classes. Max Noble, who took first iu open dogs, was 

 closely pressed by Tony Gl.qdstone, the latter being better 

 ribbed, better iu back, loin, quarters and hindlegs, but gives 

 way-to the winner in shoulders and neck. Both have heads 

 which could be improved upon. Tony has not a good car- 

 riage of stern- Third went to Paul Hill: ho does not stand 

 square in front and is only fair in front. Two dogs. Diamond 

 and Dash S., entered not for competition, were .shown inthis 

 class. Both are by Druid, and are said to be the only living 

 representatives sired by that famous dog. In bitches. Miss 

 Frost took the honors. She was mentioned last week. 

 Daisy of Riverview. second, was not in her stall when I 

 looked for her. Flirt, third, was. not in good condition. 

 She is a good bitch, long cast and head on the co,irse order. 

 The rest of the class was about average. In puppies, Bob 

 Carroll won over Ben Mark, both being only fair in merit. 

 In bitch puppies, two competed. Belle and Sweetness, win- 

 ning iu the order named, and were subsequently protested 

 and disqualified for beiog under age. 



Irish SliTTFrjK,— This exhibit avis remarkably good, the 

 Oak Grove Kennels being particularly noticeable for the 

 superiority of its dogs" and their excellent condition. Duke 

 Elcho was without competition in the challenge class. In 

 bitches, Norna won over Edna H., both well known. In open 

 dogs, Kildare Glenmore was first. He also i^ well known. 

 Tom Owen, second, is plain in head, but has a well-i-ibbed 

 good body, stands on good legs aud ftet, and has fair svm- 

 metry. Mike, third, is a coarse dog. In bitches, No. 200 is 

 the winner, but, as there was no such number in the cata- 

 logue, I fail to identify her. Rock Elcho won over Nixon in 

 puppies, and both were ordinarv. Wannetta, a common 

 one, had no competition in the bitch class of puppies. 



Gordon Setters,— These dogs were much better than an 

 average lot. First went to Trade, short aud blocky in head; 

 shoulders a bit lumbery. excellent body, legs and feet; color 

 a good black and tan. 'Louie S., second, has bad knees and 

 is about an average one otherwise. Don, third, is long cast. 

 Fly M. easily took fir.st in bitches. She is well made and 

 symmetrical. Belle R , third, has a pale tan, is sprung too 

 much in ribs, but carries her nine year.^ well. Third went 

 to Princess Bess, too wide in ribs. Louie S took first in 

 puppies over Leo's Boy. the latter large in knee, narrow in 

 head and showing weediuess. Bitch puppies numbered three 

 and were about average, 



CoLLiES.--SirWalter Scott IT., well known, took first in 



Nellie, quite a fair bitch, won in her class. Highland Ruth 

 had nn coiJiiietition in the puppy class. 



B(iLL-'L'i;i:ErERa.— The well-known Diifi'erin had a walk- 

 over in the challenge clas.s. Two competed in the open class. 

 Crisp taking first. He is cheeky, is light iu body and does 

 not stand .straight on his letr.s. Roval II. i.s only a fair 

 specimen. In bitches, Countess of Dufferin, first, is light in 

 body, but is young and undeveloped. She won fir.st m the 

 puppy class over Cri=p. 



Field Spam rls.— Toledo Snap had no competition. He 

 is light iu bone iu forelegs and stands a trifle high. 



CocuiiR Spaniels. — Beudigo won eisily over Brownie, the 

 latter light and pinched in muzzle, widciu frontandtoo fat. 

 The remaining two, Black Prince and Brocli's Boy, were 

 ordinary. In bitches, Woodstock Dot f uok flr.st over Kate 

 W., Prittou Brevity, the reserve, and Gypsey Queen, vhc, 

 an ordinary lot. 



Dachsuunds.— Lina L., a well known winner, won with- 

 out competition in the challenge claSfi, One entry was 

 shown in the open dog class, but it was so poor a specimen 

 the prize was withheld. 



CiiESAPEAKEH.— Two very poor specimens of Chesapeake 

 Bay dogs were shown, Shot and Dell, each winning in its 

 class. 



C'LUiMBER Spaniels.— With the exception of Our Joan, 

 the exhibit was poor, the remaining two. Punk and Our 

 Judy, being ordinary, and all were out of condition. 



Beagles.— June M. had a walk over in challenge class. 

 Growner, first in open dogs, was thin and in poor condition. 

 He is a fairly good beagle, a bit ligh.ly made. Pomp, 

 second, is light in bone and was shown too fat, Bitches 

 were a mixed lot, but fair in quality. Snow was easily the 

 bestiu the class; she has a plain bead. Little Spottie and 

 Runa, second and third, were about the average. 



Fox-Terkiers.— London Risk, first over Stormy, is a bit 

 cheeky. Rosa Canina, a well-known bitch, had no com- 

 petition in her class. 



Irish Terriers.— But one was shown, Nora, out of coat, 

 and light ^n bone and body. 



Puos.— Eberhart's Cashier won iu the challenge class 

 without competition. Open dogs had three, the well-known 

 Patsy Bolivar taking the honors. Babe S., carrying a little 

 too much flesh, was a good second. He is quite 'a good pug, 

 but is deficient in markings. Sara Bernhardt won first iu 

 bitches. She is well known. Pansy's Judy, a fair bitch, 

 took second. Sir Douglass and Virginia won in the dog and 

 punpy classes. 



Whippets.— Three were shown, Maggie, Ben and Nancy 

 Hanks. 



Miscellaneous.— A Bedlingtou won first, and Jano sec- 

 ond, and Midge, third, were of a niiscellan.eous order

THE IRISH SETTER FIELD TRIALS. 



Editor Forest and Stream.: 



Tbe closing of the Irish setter Derby with twenty-two 

 entries practically assures the success of that stake unlesa 

 through misfortune or lack of pluck many of them fail to 

 run. Last year, however, out of the thirteen puppies entered 

 eleven ran, so the staying powers of the Irish setter meu as 

 well as their dogs seems to be pretty good, and we live iu 

 hopes of having the stake fill .satisfactorily. We are now 

 ready to receive entries for the All-Aged Stake, which close 

 Nov. 1. The prizes in this stake have not yet been officially 

 announced, but our success with the Derby has been so 

 marked that 1 have no doubt but that at least the same 

 amount of prizes will be oiTered in the All-Aged as were 

 given in the Derby, viz., $200 to first, $100 to second and S.50 

 to third. The executive committee were waititit; to see the 

 result of the Derby entries before making promises for the 

 All-Aged Stake. We don't want to bite off more than we 

 can chew, and the club wants to pay everything it promises. 

 The O'Callaghan prize of 815, which Mr. Harry Anderson 

 won last year with Nugget, has been generously donated 

 for the winner of this year's Derby. The prospects for a 

 good All-Aaed entry are excellent. Most of those who ran 

 their dogs in the trials last year have also promised to run 

 some this year and besides we have several new recruits. 

 There are a good many Irish setter men throughout the 

 country that could run a dog if they tried, and I hope they 

 will let me hear from them before Nov. 1. The executive 

 committee were desirous thi.« ye.-ir of conducting the trials 

 without having to solicit contributions, and it now looks as 

 if they would be able to do so. The club has done all in its 

 power to make things satisfactory to the Irish setter men 

 and they ought to come forward with their dogs. The mod- 

 erate entry fee, the acknowledged ability and reputation rf 

 the judges and the liberality of the prizes ought to be suffi- 

 cient to secure a good All-Aged entry.
