The following delegates whose credentials were read were

 Kennel Club, J. Frank Perry; Omaha Kenuel Cltxb, M. IL 

 Cryer; New Jersey League, E. H. IMorris. 



The secretary read his annual report as follows: 



To the Ogicers and Del&iat.cs of the American Kennel Club: 



Gentlemex— I herewith beg to submit my annual report for the year 

 which closes to-day, and it gives me much pleasure in congi-atulating 

 you upon the continued prosperity of the club. So far as I know we 

 are at peace with all; we have no internal differences. We have, 

 through the Court of Appeals in this State, established our right to 

 govern our members and enforce rules, and to establish that fact and 

 as a matter of principle, we have, after an extensive litigation of over 

 two years, won a victory of vital importance not only to this club, but 

 to the whole sporting fraternity. 



Our finances are in good condition, showing a satisfactory cash 

 balance on hand. The club has held its four stated meetings with an 

 average attendance of fourteen delegates. Tlie Advisory Committee 

 has held five sessions, investigating nineteen cases referred to it. Our 

 list of active members consists of fifty-nine clubs with applications 

 from nine now pending. 



Buring the year three clubs resigned, one was droiiped and twelve 

 were admitted! Oui- hst of Associate members con.sists of 294 with 

 applications from 7 now pending. We have lost by death, 3: resigna,- 

 tione, 13; dropped for non-payment of dues, 63, while were admitted. 



Matters pertaining to the bench show to be held at the Cohimbian 

 Exposition at Chicago in June next are progressing favorably to all 

 interested. At an informal meeting of a.bout a dozen delegates with 

 Mr. W. L Buchanan (the Chief of Agriculture and in charge of Live 

 Stock exhibit) in November last, matters of general importance were 

 brought up, discussed and considered. BIr. Buchanan was much 

 pleased to grant e\'ery thing we asked, and then stated that the Board 

 of Control had consulted and deferred to the wishes of the American 

 Kennel Club more than to any other organization with yyhich it has 

 dealings. This courtesy, in my opinion, is due to our well iilauued 

 and sound business organization, which is certainly very gratifjdng. 

 The outgoing Board of Officers have given freely of their tmie with- 

 out any more reward than the satisfaction of yvorking for the best 

 interests of the cause in which they are so heartily mlerested, and 

 turn over to their successors the A. K. C. with a clean bill of health. 



The club has had a number of volumes added to its Ubrary through 



fifts and by purchase, all of which are valuable, and our thanks are 

 ue to the gentlemen who so kindly made the donations to us. The 

 folio wing comparisons will doubtless be of mterest: During 1893 there 

 were 20 shows held in the L^nited States by the members of the A. K. C. 

 against 23 held in 1891. Enti-ies at these shows amounted to 6,3.W m 

 1893, against 7,315 in 1891. Absentees, 500 in 1892, against 699 in 1891. 

 The shows held in Ca.nada under C. K. C. rules, the awards at which 

 were recognized by this club, were 8 in 1892, against 5 in 1891. Entries 

 at these shows amounted to 1,1:34 in 189.3, against 1,677 in 1891. The 

 total number of judges employed at A. K. 0. shows were 55; at the 

 C. K. C. shows, 10. Respectfully submitted, 



A. P. Veedenbctigh, Secretary. 



The report was -received and placed on file. On motion of 

 Mr. Watson the treasurer's annual report, as published in the 

 Gazette, was accepted and placed on file. 



A copy of certificate now on tile with the American Kennel 

 Club ■\yas read aud received, as follows: 



New York. Feb. 6, 1893.— To the American Kennel Cluh: This is to

 Terry Vice-President. Mr. Wm. C. Reick and Dr. J. Frank 

 Perry were elected members of the Advisory Committee in

Mk. Watson— On behalf of the standing Committee on

 have presentetl until the May meeting, as there are a large 

 number of gentlemen present to-day who have not the time 

 to go through with the rules at this meeting. 



Carried and the meeting ad.journed. 



The executive committee then convened. 



Mr. Thomas H. Terry presided. There were present, be- 

 sides the list of members given at the beginning, the Gordon 

 Setter Club and American Spaniel Club, and the New 

 England Kennel Club was absent. Messrs. A. C. Wilmer- 

 diuu, Anthony and Dr. Foote represented the associate mem- 

 ber.s. 



The minutes of the last meeting of the executive com- 

 mittee were read and approved. 



Mk. Vkedexburgh— 1 have just received the credentials 

 of Harry L. Goodman to represent the Great Dane Club of 

 America. Mr. A. H. Heppner represented this club at the 

 close of the annual meeting. According to the constitution 

 credentials uitist be signed by the secretary of the clnb. 

 These are not signed in that way. They are signed by the 

 president. 



Mr. Heppnep— As secretary of that club I am at a loss to 

 understand this. 



On motion of Mr. Anthony the credentials were rejected 

 as irregular. 



The secretary read his tiuarterly rejiort as follows: 



New York-, Feb. aO, 1893. To the Execntiue Cnm}ii itter of the A. K. C: 

 Gknteemen— I have the honor to report the reception of the following 

 applications for membership in the A. K. C since our December 

 meeting: 



Dec. 3, '92, Des Moines Poultry and Pet Stock .Association, of Des 

 Moines, la.; Dec. 3, '9a, St. Louis Keunel Club, of St. Louis. Mo.; 

 Dec. 5, '92, City of tlie Straits Kennel Club, of Detroit, Miuh. ; Dec. 9, 



'93, Northern Ohio Poultry, Pet Stock and Kennel Association, of 

 Akron O.; Jan. 16. '93, Chicago Kennel Club, of Chicago, nL; Ja"- 30, 

 ^3 OMo Field Trial Club, of Canton, O. ; Feb. 7, '93, Great Dane Club 

 of lmerica, of Brooklyn, N.Y.; Feb. 13, '93, lUindio Kennel Club,** 



These'appiications were all received in regular form, and, according; 

 to the several constitutions, are ehgible for admission as provided tor 

 in our constitution. I woidd. however, direct your attention m par- 

 ticular to the applications from the City of the Straits Kennel Club 

 the Cliicago Kennel Club and the Great Dane Club of America. The 

 first two hiil from cities already occupied by clubs that are members 

 of the K. K. C. and in good standing. The latter is organized for the 

 protection of a breed of dogs, for which a similar club is now a mem- 

 ber of this organization. In Detroit we have an old member in the 

 Michigan Kennel Club, a club that has ''l^^ays been loyal, but it^^^^ 

 stated that this club has been gradually wasting away until its mem- 

 p oulv consists of some half dozen, while the new applicant 

 from this city has a membership of seventy-fiye. In Chicago the 

 Mascoutah Kennel Club still exists and has .given large and important 

 slfows each vear since its organization untU this spring wMch has 

 been omitted on account of the forthcoming World's Fau- show The 

 new applicant has just given its initial show. 



The German Mastiff or Great Dane Club in Chicago has been a mem- 

 ber since its organization, but it is claimed that it is purely a local chib, 

 and has no national character about it, while the new club claims to 

 be entirely national. Under these circumstances it behooves you to 

 carefully "consider the claims the older clubs have upon your protec- 

 tion. ■^Vhether new .wd sti-ouger organizations should supplant the 

 older ones, or admission refused them for the benefit of clubs ah-eady 



™The ^application of the Boston Terrier Club has been in abeyance 

 since Al.ay 4, 1S91 . At our last meeting it was directed_ that this mat- 

 ter must be definitely settled at this meeting, and it is therefore T>©- 

 fore you for final action. ■ t 



The following credentials have been filed with me smce our last. 



°^Nov° 28 New Jersey Kennel League, appointing as its delegate Mr, 

 Edwin II " -\Ioi ris. Jan. 17, National Beagle Club of America, appoint- 

 ing as its deleeate Mr. Herman F. Schellhass. Jan. 30. the Duquesne 

 Kennel Club, appomting as its delegate Mr. "Wm. E. Littell. Feb. 11, 

 Massachusetts Kennel Club, Lynn, Mass., appomting as its delegate 

 Mr. Robert Leshe. . , ^ . • « ^v. 



An appeal by Dr. "SVm. Kenney against the decision of the^execntive 

 committee of' the Rhode Island Poultry Associa.tion has been filed. 

 The ease briefly is as foUows: Dr. Kenney states that he was in- 

 formed that certaui Rish terriers, the property of W alter J. Coni- 

 stock were not entered at said show at the time the entries closed, 

 and said dogs were allowed to compete; that he made a formal pro- 

 test according to A. K. C. rules, said protest being disallowed. The 

 secretary certifies that the protest was received, placed before the 

 executive committee, and as no evidence was submitted showing that 

 the rule of the A. K. C. relating to entries had been violated that it 

 was voted "that the protest be not sustained, and the awards made 

 by the judge in Irish terrier classes be confirmed." Dr. Kenney ap- 

 peals from this decision. , , ^, ■, , i 



Iilr Charles Stedman Hanks petitions to have the awards made to a 

 Russian wolfhound which he has repeatedly exhP.ited under a wrong 

 name through ignorance, officially rectified, he havmg but lately dis- 

 covered the error. The facts are: He imported several of these dogs 

 which duly arrived at his kennels; later the pedigrees arrived at on© 

 time, and he misnamed two of the dogs, showing one a number of 

 times and wdnning with it. He has lately le.arned that the wmning dog 

 has been shown under the name of the dog that has never been exhib- 

 ited. He now asks that this club will officially afford him relief in the 



"^Tlie^ National Greyhound Club duly suspended an exhibitor named 

 P Heckleman for removing his dog from its late show without per- 

 mission, by forcing his way through the gate against the protest of the 

 gatekeeper. The action of the club was duly reported m accordance 

 with Rule XXV., and Vice-President Thos. H. Terry, in the absence of 

 the president, confirmed said suspension pending your further pleas- 

 ure in the matter. By the rules this suspension must either be re- 

 moved at this meeting or the i>enalty of disqualification be imposed Jn 



The Mascoutah Kennel Club has forwarded a number of amendments 

 to the proiwsed new bench show rules, and requests that the rules, 

 when adopted, be copyrighted to prevent parties from usmg them 

 without legal right to them. . . . -r ^ 



I hereby report that m comphance with your instructions I returned 

 the moneV held by me in trust to the several parties from whom I had 

 received subscriptions to the proposed social department of this club. 

 In closing my report I beg to submit for j-our consideration the fol- 

 lowing recommendations: . 



First, that the secretary be directed to refuse the privileges of the 

 stud book to all persons under the penalties of suspension or dis- 

 qualification. , , ^ . , , , 



Second, that after the charges now penchng before this club have 

 been disposed of that the A. K. C. will refuse to arbitrate in any per- 

 sonal or monetary dispute, and will only discipline persons guilty of 

 an infringement of the rules in connection with bench shows or field 

 trials held by active members in good standing. 



Since closing my report I have received amendments to the rules 

 from the Coutineiital Kennel Club and the Elmira Kennel Club. I 

 have also received the resignation of the "Wilmington Agricultural and 

 Industrial i^ssociation. Respectfully submitted, 



A. P. Vredexbubgh, Sec'y.

J. Frank Perry vs. A. G. Eberhart, re misconduct in connection with 

 dogs. Tbe eominittee find from the evidence that the charges brought 

 against Eltei-hai't are substantiated. Ordered, that A. G. Eberbar 

 and the EbeiLart Pug Kennels be disqualified for the period of six

T. A. Howard vs. A. G. Eberhart, re misconduct in connection with 

 dogs. Charge I. Kesolved. that the committee cannot too strongly 

 condemn the practice of using a cut of one dog to represent another 

 whether in a circular or othenvise, espcciall.y so where attentiou is 

 called in said cu'cular to good points in the picture of anotlier dog and 

 sa.id picture not being one of the dog so criticised. Eberhart is guilty 

 of said charge, but in consideration of the penalty imposed in the 

 Perry case, the committee will not hnpose an additional penalty in thi$ 

 case. 



Charge II. the committee finds is not proved, and is therefore dls- 

 niissed. The conimitree is of the opinion that in a sirnilai' case to 

 avoid doulit as to breeding, the puppies should bave been registered 

 as by Bi-adford Ruby II. or Boycott.

 dogs. The committee finds Pitts guilty as charged, bin in \' ie-.'. of the 

 fact that he acknowledged the charge, and as he owned botb d<jgs and 

 could derive no advantage from the transposition of cut, said Pitts is 

 hereby censured for his conduct.
