of quality, and nicely put together, unmeasiu'ably better in I 

 legs, and beat the winner, who should have been be. instead. ' 

 "Winner was picked up by Mr. Bradbm-y in the .streets of ! 

 Rochester dnring the show. 



In Newfoundlands I don't know what Mr. Watson was 

 doing to give that big, fat, curly pig— it is nothing more— ' 

 Carlo, equal first with Marshall's Prince Hal, a dog well | 

 known as having a good many preten.sioDS to good New- 

 foundland form; the other has not the sliehtest. ' Last year 

 I wrote the following on this class: "In Newfoundlands no 

 self-respecting judge could give any prizes to the brutes 

 shown (meaning Carlo, etc.), although urgently requested 

 and told 'it was only Danbury,' etc." Carlo is owned by a 

 Danlinry man, and Mr. Sears shows it, and because I failed 

 to see things in the same light he did, 1 was slated. In open 

 bitches comes the fun, for here the judge withheld the prize 

 fi'oni Albany Lass, a previous winner at good shows, but at 

 present out of coat, still it is a correct one" and not a curl in 

 it, besides having other attributes that make it far above the 

 dog winner, Carlo. The puppy first prize was also withheld 

 from Mr. Marshall's Macgregoi- aud Niger, the former getting 

 second. I can hardly believe that Mr. Watson, in view of 

 withholding these pri!^es, gave Carlo equal first with Prince 

 Hai, the difference as the two dogs lay side by side was too 

 ridiculous. 



Pointers showed up well and many old faces took the 

 prizes. I liked Mr. Hyland's Bert quite as well as Rock II. 

 for the prize in open doas, better bead and better in front 

 and body. English setters, barring Edgemark, were moder- 

 ate aud not so good as last year; Kent's Rex is a little out 

 at elbow, nice head and body. The challenge bitch Tona 

 was in poor shape but has a nicely formed head. Albert's 

 BeaTi is not straight in front, light eye, but is redeemed by 

 good shaped head and body. The numbers in these classes 

 were so mixed up and the dogs being strangers to me I let 

 them go. They were only moderate as a whole. 



lu Irish setters there was nothing outside of Senjinole 

 Kennel dogs to speak of. Rose Mentor has a cleaner, longer 

 head than Claremont Heather, but it is very narrow, I like 

 Che latter better all round, in color and body; Rose beats the 

 other in front. 



The same old crowd in Gordons from Dr. Dixon's kennel. 

 Duke of Wellington, a coarse-headed, dark tanned dog, was 

 the winner in dogs, but there were others behind him that 

 had better tan and head, but lost to him in body, legs and 

 feet. The open dogs are all very ordinary. Wonder won 

 rightly over Jeff in field .spaniels ; better head and legs; the 

 others did not amoimt to much, good workers, probably, but 

 not according to standard. There were no cocker dogs, but 

 in bitches, although Woodstock Dora is short of coat, she is 

 much better than Edgewood Beauty, placed over her, in 

 quality, style of head, though her muzzle could be shorter, 

 and in body, the other is too long and field spanielly in head. 

 The foxhound display is always a fair one here, of good ser- 

 viceable-looking dogs, but not at all sorty, and as they had 

 no numbers on I can say nothing about them. 



Beagles had something better. Trifle, the dog, is much 

 like old Bannerman, all white, only larger; he stands out a 

 trifle, or legs are straight though, and he boasts a capital 

 coat and nice action. Pearl is wide in front, good body and 

 coat; is a bit pinched in muzzle. Minnie is also a little wide 

 in front, and teet open, has a sweet head, though ears are not 

 carried close enough; nice correct coat. Smith Bros, showed 

 quite a decent pup in Rocket, nice skull but muzzle too 

 long. 



Fox terriers had nothing outside of Clrouse IF. and End- 

 clift'e Spin to boast of, and they are well known. Polo has 

 not a bad shaped head, ears too large, nice legs and feet, but 

 too large sized altogether. Don isnot correctly marked; has 

 briudle and fawn on head. The puppies were coarse and 

 large. The collies are nearly all well known, having been 

 on the circuit. Bertha II. won well in bitches, better head, 

 ears, body and coat than Lothian Maid. Crissy has better 

 front than the others; not so very narrow. 



Bulldogs, with Carisbrooke and Addiscombe Gypsey, to say 

 nothing of the pnp Yale Pluck, quite a promising son of 

 Rustic Swell, were well represented for a small shovv. 



Ball-terriers, always good here, were not one whit behind 

 former years. Frank Dole generally makes a raid at Dan- 

 bury, but this time he met some opposition from Mr. Howe's 

 Kennel which came fresh from Canadian victories. Sir 

 Rudolph, the winner in dogs, has a good head, rather heavy 

 chest and shoulders and not as straight in leg as some 

 turned out from the New Haven Kennel, a well made body 

 and good stern makes up a smart medium sized dog. 

 Comet II. ran him close, especially in front. Woodcote Bill 

 strikes me as having a nice long clear head, good eye but is 

 not furnished yet. Grove Duchess beats Woodcote Lillie, 

 in front, feet out a bit and skull is round yet and body 

 wants letting down— time will do it probably. The others 

 were of the old stamp. The different breeds of rough terriers 

 were represented as probably never before in this old town. 

 Skyes had Sir Stafford, of course, for Ben was there. Islay 

 and Scotch Rose, are both celebrated more or less at present, 

 but EndcliffeMaggie,one of the best, was left out in the cold. 

 In the puppy class Scotch Rose is given as the winner when 

 in Toronto catalogue she is put down as whelped November, 

 1889. 



Black and tan terriers are often good here, for as last year 

 the Rochelle Kennels took a run up with Sultan, English 

 Lady, etc. I was glad to see that smart bitch F. P. Dole's 

 Queen III., out again and she looked as lively as ever, she is 

 a capitally well made terrier, but is more of a dog than a 

 bitch in appearance and has hardly so finely shaped a head 

 as her kennel mate Louie. Salisbury easily disposed of 

 Merry Monarch as before, and Topsy and Rosette both have 

 to take bacK seats when good ones are around. The toy 

 teirier was the usual apple-headed "shiverer." 



Some funny toy bull-terriers were shown; they should do 

 for Boston. When you say that Venus, the challenge York- 

 shire, was the only good one there, you will be about right, 

 others are short of coat, and what they had was deficient in 

 tan, too light or smutty. 



Pugs made a brave show, but it was impossible to tell one 

 from the other, except those that have been on the circuit. 

 Seminole Kennels with their little team about scooped the 

 prizes. Two very promising great Danes were shown by 

 Mrs. Knox, out of a bitch that won la.st yeai ; they show 

 fair heads, good bone and size. 



Central Kennels showed the circuit trotter Royal Roy in 

 King Charles spaniels, and E. H. Morris had a nice short- 

 faced one with good color in LTnion Jill. 



Dexter, looking the ghost of his former self, with youth- 

 ful looking "curlets" a very few inches long. Biglow we have 

 seen a good deal of lately, and Black Beauty is a fair good 

 bitch, light in loin and head not long enough. Dot is a pup 

 yet. When one says that Fritz K. was the best dachshund, we 

 can imagine what the rest were, for Fritz is but so-so him- 

 self. 



Somehow we always have a lot of Irish terriers at this 

 show, and there were some good ones again this time. Jack 

 Briggs is a challenge winner now. Some new ones shown 

 by a Mr. Wise, won in open dogs; the winner, Shaughran 

 Rue, has a fair head, but knuckles over in forelegs and feet 

 could be better; coat of good texture. Crib, second, loses to 

 the other in muzzle, but has much the Dest forelegs aud 

 feet. I could not find Barney's Boy, but I thought Gatlies 

 hardly treated mth only he, as he has done better than that 

 the past mouth in better company. Ballymoney, won 

 nicely in the next class, her head is not perfect, bit broad in 

 skull, is open in coat, and light in bone, but has a good 

 body. Gypsy is short-faced and snipy. Spuds, a pup, is 

 spiky (if there is no patent- on this term) and legs want 

 Straightening, 



The Salem Kennel came down prepared for anything in 

 Scotch terriers, with Kilstorj Scotch Hot, Scotch Cold in the 

 male division. Scotch Cold is a pup yet, legs crooked and 

 head too wedgy. Norwich Mouse is a new one in bitches; 

 she also is not strong enough in muzzle and should be 

 straighter in forelegs, and quarters fall away too sharp, coat 

 good and so is body. The Japanese hairless was a funny- 

 lookjng little brown hairless toy terrier. He could pass for 

 a Japanese hairle.^s for anything I know, but the prize was 

 withheld. 



Whippets were represented by Boston Model and Perfec- 

 tion, the latter a very pretty bitch. Sheffield Lad, the 

 "Pom," and Philos, Mr. Purbeck's Psovoi, completed the 

 show. H. W. L.

BULL-TERRIERS AGAIN. 



Editor Forest anrj. Stream: 



1 am just in receipt of the communication of "Didymus" 

 on the subject of bull-terriers, wherein he says of me: "Stir 

 him up." I thought on first reading that "his idea was to 

 make use of the dog for that purpose. If such is the idea I 

 beg to decline the mode and manner of such stirring. I 

 have had some expeiience with that class of dog, dating 

 back to the days when farmers were wont to turn the ani- 

 mal loose in their orchards — as an auti-small-boy apple-ap- 

 propriating society. 



After losing the most exposed part of several pairs of 

 trousers in the pursuit of apples under difficulties—the dog 

 being the difficulty- 1 entered into a contract with a harness- 

 maker in our village whereby for one day's services helping 

 him hoe his corn patch, he was to "reinforce" the aforesaid 

 exposed part of my trousers with leather. The .scheme 

 worked well— 1 bore no more honorable .scars, and there was 

 a decided advantage over the other boys at school when 

 the old maid school mistress laid me over her knee and ad- 

 ministered the usual reward of merit with a flat ruler. So 

 I may claim an anti-dated prejudice against "bulls" and 

 cordially indorse the views of "Didymus" on the merits of 

 that breed of animal. My antipathy bears more strongly, 

 however, on the bulldog, not so heavily on the bull-terrier, 

 which is one or two degrees removed from the bulldog in 

 point of decency and qualities. He is a great improvement, 

 and 1 am inclined to think "Didymus" should draw a dis- 

 tinctive line. 



I have been acquainted with several very well-behaved 

 bull-terriers aud on one occasion up in Kent, Conn., was on 

 very friendly terms with a dog of this persuasion named 

 Bob. I established intimate relations with Bob by throw- 

 ing a ball for him to chase. A year later 1 chanced that 

 way, and as I entered the hotel Bob sat on the porch 

 ruminating on the cussedness of the invention of flies. \ 

 said, "Bob, how are you?" He gave me a long search- 

 ing glance and rushed through the house and out into the 

 back yard, returning with the ball in his mouth, evidently 

 remembering our former acquaintance and the ball prac- 

 tice. So I may claim a slight concession to bull-terriers on 

 account of Bob's intelligence: moreover, Bob was very gen- 

 tlemanly and good-natured and never bit anybody; but if 

 "Didymus" will amend his complaint to i-ead bulldogs I 

 am with him. His quotation of the instance where General 

 Coombs came near getting thrashed by the owner of the 

 dog in the case is rather an argument in favor of the theory 

 of like dog like man, inasmuch as the ovyner illustrated the 

 tendency of such to fight on slight provocation, catching 

 the i nf ection from the dog, probably. 



What a pity men owning a better" breed of dogs are not 

 amenable to their influence. Take for instance my favorite 

 — the Gordon setter. If the general average of men were 

 half as gentlemanly and possessed half the noble qualities 

 of that breed what an improvement there would be in the 

 world. PODGKR.S.

Collie Sweepstakes. 



The annual collie sweepstakes, for collies born in the 

 United States or Canada, on or after -July 1, 1891, will be 

 decided at the bench show of the Westminster Kennel Club, 

 to be held Feb, '31 to 24, 1893. A subscription of $5, for each 

 collie entered, to be paid to the secretary of the collie club 

 at the time of entry. The stake to be divided as follows: 50 

 per cent, to the best dog or bitch, 35 per cent, to the second, 

 15 per cent, to the third and 10 per cent, to the fourth. Dog« 

 to compete for this sweepstake must be entered in the 

 regular classes of the bench show. Entries will close Nov. 1, 

 1892. Blank forms can be obtained by addressing J. D. 

 Shotwell, Sec'y, 82 Hillside avenue, Orange, N. J. 



If you were shouting- through a telephone, 



of which the wires ramified to the 

 ears of every clog man in the land, 

 you could not tell them of your 

 bargains in dogs more speedily, 

 certainly, effectively, cheaply, profit- 

 ably and satisfactorily, than you may 

 do by putting a short-term, low-rate 

 advertisement in the Forest and Streams 



business Kennel special Column.
