The numlser of dogs entered shows an advance over 1893 in 

 nearly every breed. Pointers have -55 more and EiiRlish set- 

 ters aWit 8"3, while Irish setters fall off 10, but UonTous sain 

 18. Bulldogs take a jump of 16; greyhonnds fall ofl" a few, 

 but Russian wolfhounds advance a dozen; beagles also jump 

 fi'om 39 to 59. Fox-terriers also gain 20, Scottish terrieis take 

 a big jump from 4 to 1 5 and the Irishmen gai a 1 3. T<jy span- 

 iels, fiowever, fall off 9 pomts. St. Bernards gain 19 and 

 mastiffs 17. Mr. Raper and Mr. Tallman will ha\'e a sorry 

 time of it and the nunrbers of important classes they haxa to 

 judge is almost too much a task for one man, especially at a 

 show like New York. Mr, Eaper will haA'^e over 500 dogs, 

 while Mr. Tallman will have 370 where competition is sure to 

 be keen. We hope that the W. K. C. committee will again 

 provide large lettered cards for those liandling dogs in the 

 ring so that the public can f orui some idea of who is who and 

 tell which dogs win without trouble. 



arid are now^on their way over iu the Bostonian. They are of 

 the C4uide blood; Survivor is of the famous Sans Peur litter. 

 Dinorah Suisse is the dam of the crack St. Augustine and 

 Ajosa. Such an importation will be iuvakiable to the breed 

 over here. 



Washington Dog Show. 



The Washington Kennel Club's premium list is in the 

 mail. The show will be held in North Liberty Hall, and as 

 the hall is 37.5x125 long there is ample room for any amount 

 of dogs, is heated by steam and lighted by 1,000 electric 

 lights, roof of glass and well ventilated. The judges are: 

 Major J. M. Taylor. New York, for pointers, setters, fox- 

 hounds, beagles and Chesapeake Bay dogs; Henry Jarrett, 

 Esq., Philadelphia, Pa., for collies; James Mortimer, Hemp- 

 stead, L. I., all otlier classes. This is a good list. Mr. Jar- 

 rett's debu t in the ring as a judge should meet with every 

 approbation from his fellow collie breeders and signified by 

 giving him a record entry. Mastiffs, St. Bernards, pointers 

 setters, collies and smooth fox-terriers are given $13 and $8 in 

 challenge classes, and S12 and 88 in open, while puppies and 

 novices get $8 and $3. The other breeds get a basis of SIO 

 and $5 in challenge classes, and $10, §5 and $3 in open, the 

 terriers getting $8 and $3. Where puppy classes are given 

 & and $3 will be the prizes. Entries close Marcli G, wnh the 

 secretary, 1237 Penn.sylyania avenne, Nortliwest, Washing- 

 ton, D. C. The fee is S3. 



Philadelphia Show. 



This is the last opportunity we shall have to remind ex- 

 hibitors that the last day for entering at the Keystone 

 Kennel Club show of Philadelphia is Friday of this week. 

 Wc are requested to amiorince the following additions to the 

 premium list: Another challenge class for Gordon setters 

 and a kennel prize of $15 for the best four; a kennel prize 

 of S15 for the best four, deerhounds, greyhounds or Russian 

 wolfhounds; two classes for Italian greyhounds and one for 

 poodles. Attention is also called to the show regulation pro- 

 viding for division by sex where but one class is.provided, 

 when there are seven entries. 



Chicago Show. 



Ttiere was much surmise among exhibitors present as to 

 whether wins would count and the club be admitted to the 

 A. K. (J. The men who seem to compose the C. K. C. appear 

 to be the workers of the older club, and from what we hear 

 the business methods of the Mascoutah Club are not very 

 commendable. Tlie cliib seems so rich that members pay no 

 dues and no one seems to know how they stand, except that 

 bills are all paid. The new club will conduct things differ- 

 ently. The C. K. C. had little time to organize and less to 

 get i-eady for a show . Their premium list Avas hardly so 

 weE arranged as it might have been. The money should 

 have been more equally divided and more challenge classes 

 made in the smaller breeds. This will be reinedied another 

 year. The club wdll claim the date Feb. 6 for their 1894 show, 



Scottish Terriers. 



Mr. W. P. jf'raser has purchased for Mr. H. J, Ludlo^v the 

 Scottish terrier bitch Ijy Kildee out of Nettlewood Nettle. 

 She is said to be a;ood, and will probably be seen at New 

 York. Sir. Fraser has also a good young dog coming, by 

 Kilroy ont of Grey, by Ashley P.oger ^oiat of Fury. Grey he 

 lias sold to E. H. Is^ew^comb, of New York.

New Skye. 



Mr. C. Smith, of St. Stephen, N. B., will show his newim- 

 Ijortation, the Skye terrier Barnaby Rudge, at New York. 

 Many have had a. shot at Sir Stafford; perhaps it will re- 

 main for Barnaby to lower his colors. Who can say? 



Associate IVIembers' Officers. 



The votes of the associate members for officers for 1893 

 were opened at the A. K. C. office Feb. 6, and resulted as fol- 

 lows: President, James L. Anthony; Vice-President, W. J. 

 Brysou, of Chicago; Secretary, A. C. Wilmerding; Delegate, 

 Dr. H. T. Foote. 



lllindio K. C. 



At a meeting of the II lindia Kennel Clnb, Feb. 9, it was 

 decided to hold a show and claim dates March 38 to 31. 

 This cLuli sb(3uld Ije admitted without hesitation, as it opens 

 np a new counri-y. Chas. K. Farmer, Indianapolis, Ind., is 

 the secretary. 



New Collies. 



As reported by wire last week Dr. Sauvetlr's new purchase 

 is Ormslvirk Gold Dust and the price paid was $3,500. He is 

 by Edgbaston Marvel, out of Torryfam Belle, and at Liver- 

 pool won four firsts .and four .specials, including the 50- 

 guinea challenge trophy, Aloug with him will come an un- 

 tried bitch, Ormsldrk Princess, by Ormskirk Chieftain. 



Cincinnati K. C. 



The Cincinnati Kennel Club has paid up all its indebted- 

 ness and has been reorganized \vith the following officers: 

 President, Groesbeck; Vic'-IVi-sirlent, P. J. Heister; Secre- 

 tary, Al Eberhart; Treas;', Uiler. Directors: Geo, 

 W.'Hill, J, W, Hurd, Joliu t ■. ;;.u«kc.-*. It is the intention 

 of the club to give a sliow iu the near future. 



With over 1,300 dogs to pass on and examine. Dr. Glover's 

 task -will be no sinecure at the New York sho^^■. Dr. Glover 

 is one of the few "veLs" who really does attend to his duties 

 at a dog show, in every sense, and New "I'ork show is about 

 the only show where the ari'angements for examining dogs 

 are, as we remarked last week, what ti^ey should all be. Our 

 remarks on cliis subject have been indorsed by several, and it 

 is high timetliat the A. K. C. brought its attention to bear 

 on this subject, and investigate this matter at shows for it- 

 self, and discipline where necessary. 



Messrs. Justus Goebel and John C. Hawkes. of Cincinnati, 

 have joined forces and named their kennel, "'I'he Westjuin- 

 ,ster kennels," but as this m.-iy conflict with the W. K. C. 

 the prefix may not be allow-ed by A, K, C, Collies will be 

 the specialty, and in .addition to Sir Walter Scott aud(Tra.nge 

 Nell others "will be imported, 



Mr. Pybus Sellonis to report bulldogs for Britisli Fancier 

 at the World's Fair show. 



Lieutenant Peary's Eskimo dogs at the Central Park are 

 objects of great attraction. 



The Continental Kennel Club will hold its annual bench 

 show April 11 to 14. 



The Mai-yland Keunel Club have added the following 

 classes, which were left ottt of their premium list by mistake: 

 Welsh terriers, class 82,io', open class, dogs or bitches, prizes 

 •"^lO or .^5, Bedlington terriers, class 833^, open class, dogs or 

 bitches, prizes -SlO and #5. Scottish terriers, class 85 1.,, open 

 class, dogs or bitches, prizes $10 and $5. The St. Bernard 

 Club medals are to be competed for by members only and 

 are offered, one each, to the best American bred smooth dog, 

 .smooth bitch, rough dog and rough bitch. The American 

 English Mastifi Club have offered two additional SlOO silver 

 cups, one for best mastiff" dog and one for best bitch, the 

 property of a member of the Mastiil Club. Mr. P. Henry 

 O'Bannon, of the Blue Ridge English Setter Kennel, has 

 offered a handsome special prize, the particulars of which 

 will be siven next week. 



At a meeting of the bench .show- committee, held Feb. 13," 

 it was decided'to offer a kennel prize of $10 for the best keu- 

 nel of frair Russian wolfhounds (Rorzois) entered and owned 

 iiy one exhibitor or kennel; also to add the following classes, 

 viz. : Cocker spaniels (any color, not over 281bs. ), Class 51 ' .j, 

 challenge class, bitches, prize .*l6. Cocker spaniels (a ay other 

 color, not over 281 l)s.). Class ~A^.^, open class, bitches, prizes 

 $10 and $5. 



The setter bitch Znla M., lately portrayed iu Forest and 

 Stkeam, is owned by Mr. Whyte Bedford, Lake Coi-morant, 

 Miss., and not by Mr. Adams, as stated. 



Messrs. L. & W. Rutherford will hold their atmual sale of 

 fox-terriers at the Horse Exchauge, Friday, Feb. 2i, at 3 

 P. M. About 63 dogs are on the catalogue. 



It is rumored that Mr. W. S. Clark will judge beagles at 

 Boston. If this is true this judge should have a great entry, 

 especially from the New England contingent. 



Mr. Jamieson's beagle Lady Lee has been bred to Mr. Kreu- 

 der's Frank Forest, Feb. 5, and as this bitch is the dam ot 

 Butterfly, Forest Hunter. Maud, etc., who was .sired by a full 

 brother to Frank Forest, tliis nick should perhaps do better 

 still. 



The Baltimore show- people say that all signs pt)iut to a 

 larger local entry than ever before, .and many of the larger 

 kennels have promised support. 



Marvel has proved himself as sure a sire iu this country as 

 he did in England. Last Saturday Princess Florence whelped 

 two splendid puppies which he sired. Unfortunately both 

 died on the same day. Princess Wang, owned by Jacob 

 Lutz, of New York, whelped seven Mar\ el puppies, live dogs, 

 all healthy and stronu. Mr. Lutz has anotliei- L>itch, Princess 

 Helene, iii whelp to Marvel, due Feti. 2(i, Col, Jacob Rup- 

 pert's Baroness Cardiff', dam of Sir Hereward and A'oung 

 Bute, shows unmistakable signs of her visits to Marvel, and 

 some little cracks are expected on the 22d, The owner of 

 Marvel has wdsely limited his dog's services, but still there 

 is every likelihood of his doing the breed goi id ser\-ice over 

 here. Vi'e are sorry to hear of Princess Florence's puppies 

 dying, her stock is valuable. 



Anent the Mud Slinking Trust: Stephen A. Douglass, the 

 "Little Giant," put it just pat, wht-n in response to an inde- 

 cent assault on his character, he said: "What no gentlemau 

 would say no gentleman ueed answer." 



Mr. W. E. Hagauswill represent the Mascontah Club at 

 the annual A. K. C. meeting, and also the interests of the 

 new C. K, C. He will also show- his great Dane Imperator. 



The A. K. C. advisory committee at a meeting held Feb. 7 

 decided to reopen the case of EUiott vs. Twyford, and the 

 secretary was instructed to notify both parties. 



Mr. G. W. Price, of Philadelphia, Pa., has spared no ex- 

 pense or pains in getting up a very pretty scarf pin , two of 

 which will be given as specials at the Philadelphia show. A 

 very neat pictm'c of Belgrave Joe, the famous fox-terrier, is 

 set ttuder thick glass in a gold setting. Such little articles 

 are very acceptalDle as specials, and we are pleased to see the 

 divergence from the beaten track of medals, cups, etc. 



There were altogether too many litters of puppies shown 

 at Chicago. Puppies 3mos. old are bad enough, but when 

 bitches with litters a few weeks and days old are exhibited 

 there is no earthly excuse for the cruelty and abomination. 

 There were lots of St. Bernard pups exliibited that should 

 have been at houie. There were also a lot of fox-terrier, 

 cocker and pttg litters that would have been better elsewhere. 



More St. Bernards Coming. Mr. J. B. Lewis >yas all wrapped up iu his St. Bernard lo. 



The wellknow St, Bernard bitches Dinorah Suisse, Survivor tU'ter she won over the cracks, so the boys put up a little fun 

 and Belliue IF have been purchased by an American breeder, | at his expeusea A telegram purporting to coiue from New 



York was handed to him, Avhich read: "I claim lo at cata- 

 logue price; New York draft follows." We believe, but are 

 not certain, that Mr, lieick's name was attached. Cata- 

 logue price was -12,500 and Mr, Lewis w^as iu a fever heatiof 

 anxiety that he would lose the bitch. After considerable 

 chaffing and suggestions of putting the bitch up at auction 

 the jokers took compassion on liim and relieved him of his 

 suspense. 



The name of the St, Bernard bitch that Mr. Symonds 

 cabled to England for is Lady Tavlor. She has been served 

 by Young Bute, and is for a Western gentleman. George 

 Thomas sailed Feb. 5 and is due about the 15th. 



Mr. C. B. Buun, the mastiff man, had not a very pleasant 

 journey to the show. At Bureau Junction, 140 miles from 

 Chicago, he found that the train he was to connect with w-as 

 snow^ed fast 250 miles -west and he would have to wait for it 

 ten hours on a wayside sort of a depot. This did not suit at 

 all, with the thermometer playing dangerously near the 

 teens below zero, so through influence on the road hesecttred 

 au engine and caljoose and managed to get to Chicago in good 

 time for the opening of the show. It takes a good deal to 

 stop some of our hustling exhibitors. 



There were a number of sales at Cliicago, Mr. Richard 

 Gibson sold his winning fox-terrier Belvoir Van to Mr. Sid- 

 dous. who seemed almost prouder of it than the collies he 

 had in charge. 



Mr. Jarrett will need a book-keeper to straighten out his 

 accounts. First of all, Mr, Long, the collie judge, claimed his 

 Charleroill,, not alto2,ether to the owner's pleasure, as this 

 leaves him with littlelo s;et away from his Christopher and 

 Wellesbourne Charlie blood, and he intended breeding three 

 of his bitches to him, Mr, Jarrett has an idea that he will 

 start a race of black and whites, and to that end bought Mrs. 

 Rand's Topsv, bv Manev Trefoil out of Smoky, and she will 

 be bred to Hempstead Zubi of the same color. His debutante 

 Donna, by Wellesbourne Charlie out of Roslyn Dolly, was 

 also disposed of to advantage, but the Chestnut Hill man 

 has two more up his sleeve that are better, still she is a good 

 one. He also sold the reserve puppy Doctor. 



Dr. Sauveur presented the pug Little Kate to Mr. Good- 

 rich, and she is all the more valuable, being iu whelp to 

 Seminole Dixie. Mr. Davey, who was in great form, and 

 did really as Mr. Hough said, came to town with a dog under 

 each arm, presented a fox-terrier to Mr. J. W. Munson. Mr. 

 Davey will show at New York, and is further intent oji ruu 

 ning some dogs next year at the English spring trials. 



Leander Tichenor was busy selling dogs too, liis St. Ber- 

 nard American Ca?sar, by Casper, was disposed of at a good 

 price to a Chicago gentleman, lie also sold two puppies. 

 Mr. Starr was also busy a7nong the dogs as a visitor and 

 purchased Victor Jack, by Victor Joseph, from Maple Leaf 

 Kennels as a companion to his children. Mr. Starr owned 

 champion Mac, the deerhouud. that was poisoned last win- 

 ter. Personally, his fancy runs to the rough terrier division 

 and he is on the lookout for a good Dandle. 



In conversation with Mr. R. Gibson, the well-knowui part- 

 ner of Mr: McEweu, we learned he had a birthday dttring the 

 show, and we fancy that Mr. Gibson can discount any living 

 fancier in the length of time he has owned a fox-terrier. 

 This well-known fox-terrier man was born under the shadow 

 of Beaver Castle, the Dtike of Rutland's seat, in Leicester- 

 shire, and 53 years ago last Friday "Old Goosey,'' the hunts- 

 man of the Duke of Rutland's houuds, came to his father's 

 farm and presented "the boy" with one of his cherished 

 strain of Belvoir fox-terriers, Lill by name, a w^hite bitch 

 that our C?anadian friend says could win on the bench to- 

 day; well-carried ears and beautiful front. This first gave 

 Mr. Gibson the fox-terrier fever and he has alw'ays had it in 

 different degrees to the present date. 



We draw .special attention to the notices of the Maryland 

 and Washington Kennel Club shows in our business col- 

 umns. Among the new ads. are the Chestmrt Hill collies, 

 and Mr. Smith's wire-hairs at stud. 



United States Field Trials. 



New Albant, Miss.. Feb. 13. — Special to Forest and 

 S1>re(im: The Setter Derby began this morning. Judges— 

 Col. A. G. Sloo, P. H. Brysou and C. M. Stephenson. The 

 weather was cloudy, but most favorable for good work. As 

 a wliole the competition was good, some of the work excel- 

 lent. There were thirteeu starters, fourteen less than were 

 entered to start last Novemkier, the postponement thus made 

 a serious falling off. The starters were Gleam's Pink. Cecil 

 H,, Nancy Foreman, Hope's Mint, Direct, Lillian Russel, 

 Rex, Kingston, Dixie's Rod, Lochiuva.r, Sport, Dan Burgess 

 and Dick Fox, a bye, .Seven were kept in the second series; 

 Cecil H, and Hope's Mint were held in reser\-e, Lillian out- 

 worked Gleam's Pink on birds and showed better judgment 

 iu ranging, although Pink was industrious and made a good 

 .showing."' Kingston showed better point work and skill in 

 fludiug birds than Dixie's Rod, which had falleu off greatly 

 from the form shoAvn in his first heat. Sport and Dick Fox 

 ran a good heat, the former better in judgment and clean 

 point work. Lochinvar made a stronger competition than 

 Cecil H., the latter falling oft" in range in the la'ter part of 

 the heat. Six were kept in the third series, Lillian found 

 and pointed birds better than Kingston, Dixie's Rod nar- 

 rowed his I'ange in the heat with Dick Fox and was out- 

 worl\;ed on birds. Birds were found in plentiful numbers. 

 The trials are progressing finely. B. W aters. 



Ni:w Albany, Miss., Feb. li.~Speeial to Forest uoid 

 Stream: The weather to-day was dark and cloudy with in- 

 dications of a heavy rainstorm, but a ligiit drizzling rain 

 was all that fell, and that for but a short time. Lochinvar 

 and Sport made a good showing, the former finding and 

 pointing the most Ijircls. In the afternoon the final heat was 

 run between Lillian and Lochinvar, the former thoroughly 

 outworking the latter. The jxrdges awarded first to Lillian, 

 second to "Lochinvar and the third to Sport. The All- Age
