little high, behind, but nice type. The owner of Fannie Read 

 was delighted with his sudden success, aw his Doctor won at 

 Detroit same week. GlenTose Beagle Kennels' June Bud, 

 reserve, is faulty in pasterns and feet and bone not straight; 

 nice head and ears; needs more rib. Homell-Harmony Ken- 

 nells'" Flora K., vhc. is a )nt cloddy and faulty in hocks. 

 Same kennels' Yelda has a plain head, red nose; should be 

 strai^hter in front; good body and coat. Barnes Bros.' 

 Hazed Weller, he, and Hillside Pointer Kennels' Top.sy are 

 rather weedy. In novices Homell-Harmony Kennells' Velda 

 beat Barnes Bros.' Dot B., so we cannot speak very highly 

 of Dot B. 



Fox-Teetjiers (J. Otis Felloivn, JwtZye).— These classes were 

 also well filled and very satisfactorily judged. The Rnther- 

 furd Kennels ijrought out some new stuff. Cambridge Ken- 

 nels' Dusky Trap, almost forgotten and a wreck of his former 

 self, especially in loin and quarters, but keeping well in fore- 

 pa.rr,, was alone in challenge dogs, while the same must be 

 said of C. S. Hanks's Grouse II.' In dogs the order Avas 

 C. E,athbone's Beverwyck Punster and L. & W. Rutherfurd's 

 Warren Daysman. Both have been out before. Hennyett 

 Kennels' Mark Twain, reserve, is not true enough in forelegs, 

 fair head, little pinched in muzzle perhaps. F. C. Weeks's 

 Springhill Pirate, vhc, would have found a c. too much for 

 his merits. The other entries were absent. In bitches the 

 order was L. & W. Rutherfurd's Warren Duty and Warren 

 Tongs, the former beating in front, head, and only needs a 

 little more rib to do well yet. C. S. Hanks's Damson, reserve, 

 and Seacroft Zaruia, vhc, deserved their letters. The latter 

 is short and weak in muzzle. Wires were drawn blank. In 

 novice dogs, L. & W. Rutherfurd won with another new one. 

 He beats F. W. A¥ee]fs's Springhill Pirate al over. In bitches 

 Warren Duty was again to the fore, a.nd Seacroft Myrtle 

 beating Zarina iu bone and head. F. J. Byrne's Raby Nettle, 

 vhc, is by no means a credit to her .sire, Dominie. 



Dandie'Dirnnonts v^ eve drawn blank. 



Scotch Terrieijs ( J. Otis Fdlovjs, Judge) — The Toon _& 

 Symonds syndicate furuished both entries, Scotch Hot in 

 dogs and Gypsey Jet in bitches; the latter was out of coat and 

 weak in hocks. 



Irish Terriers (J. Otis Fdloivs, Judge).— Several entries 

 in these classes. In challenge class W. J. Comstock's ch. 

 Boxer IV. Open dogs, first quite wrongly to W. J. Com- 

 stock's Hanover Boy, who loses considerably in iront and 

 cleaness of shoulder, neck and head, especially skull and eye 

 and expression, to the younger dog, W. Brodie's Canadian 

 Ambassador; Toon & Symonds' Paddy Doolan, reserve, is 

 very leggy and coarse iir skull and not straight in forelegs. 

 There were no entries in. bitches, and no\dce class saw Cana-

dian Ambassador put again over Paddy Doolan. I. Bald- 

 win's Patsey is a vreed. 



Black a^d Tax Terriers {J. Otis Fellows, Judcje).— Only 

 two of them, as well known as their owner, Frank Dole; 

 Salisbury in open <logs and Queen III. in the tender sex. 



Bkdlii?gtons (J. OUa FeUoiDn. Judge).— Onlj one, and this 

 soft in coat, I. Chalmer's Tallyho, good top-knot, could be 

 better in forelegs and has not arch of loin enough. 



Woodbury Kennels' Lovet won in Skye dogs, and H. D. 

 Garner's ]';ndclilf e Maggie in bitches. 



Yorkshire terriers had an entry in each sex, Barnes Bros.' 

 Brownie, short of coat, but fairly good in tan and body 

 color; then Mischief, a silver, took the prize in bitches. 



The toy terrier Shannon's Tip won, but may be pa.ssed 

 over. 



Puos (J. Otis Felloioft, Judge).— With the excption of Sem- 

 inole Dixie and J, Brombach's Bradford Rowdy in challenge 

 dogs, and Seminole Kennels' Midget in challenge bitches, 

 there was no merit if I except Brombach's Frisk in open 

 bitches. In dogs J. Christen's Beauty is on the way to be a 

 mastiff. In bitches, first, J. Brombach's Frisk winning 

 easily, the others too large and coarse; second, reserve and 

 vhc, J. Christen's Mabel, Tootsy and Lulu. 



King Charles Spaniels.— J. Brombach's Duke of Wel- 

 lington was alone; he had well formed head. 



Italian Grethodnds.— Xo dogs, but open bitches had J. 

 Brornbach s well known Golden Rocd, who is big. 



ScHlPPERKE. (?)— A very fair make up in Barnes Bros.' 

 Jack was given first. Its only pretension to form was the 

 loss of its tail, ears down, soft coat, no frills and none of the 

 chic of the real ar ticle. 



In miscellaneous a fair Mexican hairless was shown. This 

 completed the awards. H. W. L,

The Fancy in Noses. 



Uditor Forest and Stream: 



Fox the last two years I have been watchiug the size of 

 the nose of every dog fancier. In meeting some prominent 

 breeders and seeing photograiilis of many others I have about 

 made up my mind that without a single exception, a good 

 true dog fancier must liave a large, generous uose. The'snb- 

 ject is too delicate a one for me to be too |)ei'sonal, but for 

 those who would like to look it up I refer them to the last 

 few numbers of the Forest anl Stream, which show cuts 

 of many breeders and judges. ' Dago. 



During Y'ashiugtou show Mr. H. L. Goodman bought the 

 so-cal leri"\Velsh lerri er Mephisto Dick from Hornell-Harmony 

 Kennels and also a couple of fox-teiTiers for ratting pur- 

 poses at his Tennessee home. 



POINTS AND FLUSHES. 



[By a Staff Correspondent.] 

 Manitoba Field Trials. 



Chicago, March 25. — I have received the following? clipping 

 from the able secretary of the Manitoba Field Trials Club, 

 Mr. E. D. Adams: 



"A meeting of the Manitoba Field Trials Club was held on 

 Saturday evening, March IS, at the Clarendon, the object 

 being to adopt suitable running rules for this fall's trials, 

 and to revise by-laws. The meeting was largely attended, 

 and great interest manifested in this year's work. Running 

 rules similar to those of the United States Field Trial Club 



SAM. W. STEINMETZ, 



President Washington City Kennel Club. 



revised for 1893, Avere adopted. These rules are known as the 

 'spotting system,' and leave matters in the hands of the 

 judge, to select the best dogs in each State. A new entry 

 blank was also adopted, which is a great improvement on 

 those used in the past. This closed the club's arrangement 

 for the 1893 trials, and the following is a synopsis of what 

 will take place: 



"The trials will be run at Souris, begiiming Sept. 13, and 

 will consist of three events. 



First— Derby Stake, for setters and pointers whelped after 

 Jan. 1, 1892, with a purse of *350; 1st prize $160, 2d $115, 3d .175. 

 Entries for this stake close June 1, 



"Second— All- Age Stake, for setters and pointers whohave 

 not; won first place at any recognized field trial in anv prev- 

 ious year. Purse $450; 1st prize $225, 2d $125, 3d 1100, En- 

 tiles for this stake close Aug. 21. 



"Third — Amateur Stake, for setters and pointers. Dogs to 

 be eligible must be the property of members residing in 

 Manitoba and the N. W. T. and handled by owmer, or other 

 amateur member. Prizes suitable for this stake are being 

 arranged. Entries close Aug. 21. ^ 



"iMr. Wm. Tallman, New York, has consented to come 

 and judge. A number of entries have already been guaran- 

 teed, both from the United States atrd Canada, and the club 

 intend to leave nothing undone to make this event one of en- 

 joj rnent to those who attend." 



in addition to the foregoing, Mr. Adams informed me that 

 I have been elected an honorary member of the club, and I 

 beg to acknowledge the honor conferred on me. 



The entry blank referred to is neatly gotten up, gives all 

 the conditions of each stake, time and place of holding the 

 trials, blank spaces for the name, color, breed, sex, pedigree, 

 name and address of the breeder, and the stake in which the 

 dog is to run. The rules governing the running are men- 

 tioned and there is the printed contract at the bottom, and 

 all other necessary information. In sh^rt, it is a model entry 

 blank. 



Sales at Detroit. 



Quite a number of sales were made at the Detroit show. 

 Mr. F. E. Fisher, Ypsilanti, sold Washtenaw Grouse, winner 

 of first in the English setter class, to Mr. John Mandt. Mr. 

 T. G. Davey, London, Out., bought two setter bitches, Cor- 

 nelia G. (Gladstone— Cornelia) of Mr. J. E. Dager and Monk 

 of Furness Lill (Monk of Fui-ness — .Sue of Hatchie) of Mr. 

 Tim Donohue. Mr. F. G. Boesger, Cleveland, Ohio, sold the 

 King Charles spaniel Royal Duke to Mr. Marvin Preston, 

 Detroit, price $100. Brant Cocker Kennels sold Brantford 



nCE-PiUiS. J. H. miNTJSH, MAJ. J. M. TAVLOR, 



Washington City Kennel Club. Judge Washington City K. C. 



Redstone to Mr. Geo. M. Hendrie, the president of the club, 

 price $50. Jersey Cocker Kennels sold the cocker Brownie 

 B. to Brown Bro.s., Detroit, price $75. There was great 

 interest manifested in dogs and there will be a boom in 

 canine matters in that section which will be permanent. 

 Mr. Chas. W. Sarvis sold his greyhound King Dick, winner 

 of first in open dogs. 



Mr. John Davidson, the well known judge, had a remark- 

 ably good English setter at Detroit, named Donald Dane 

 (Dick Bondhu — AA^estern Belle), not, of course, entered at 

 the shoA\-. He is a muscular dog, symmetrical withal and 

 graceful in carriage. He will do some winning, I predict, if 

 shown. By the way, when the exhibitors learned that the 

 veteran juge had been ignored by the Ijench show department 

 of the World's Fair manaa:ement, expressions of indignation 

 were common, and they were not boirnded by any factional 

 lines. 



A peculiar and possibly serious accident occrrrred at the 

 Detroit show to Mr. J. B. Way's mastiff dog Grip. 1^^lile 

 exercising tu the ring he slipped and fell. He appeared 

 completely paralyzed from the shock for several minutes, he 

 being perfectly helpless. Dr. NicoM said it was temporary ' 



aralysis from shock. I did not learn whether or not the 

 og recovered. 



Mr. J. J. Spracklin will settle in the near future at 

 Chatham, Ont., and will break setters and pointers for field 

 work and prepare and handle dogs at shows, as in the past. 



The following protest was circulated at Detroit: 



To Mr. W. I. Buchanan, Chief of the Department of Agriculture, 

 Chicago, III.: 



We, the undersigned owners, exhibitors and handlers, do hereby 

 protest against the manner in which the judges for the World's Fair 

 bench show were appointed. We also protest against the selection 

 of some of the judges, in that they are not personally, as judges, ac- 

 ceptable to us; iu that they were appointed by a clique centering in 

 the American Kennel Club, and in that more popular and more com- 

 petent judges were ignored. 



In this connection we, the undersigned, as emphatically assert that 

 the advisors of Mr. Buchanan iji the matter of judges of the bench 

 show -were not representative of the exhibitors' interests, nor were 

 they in any manner deputed to represent them. Neither have the 

 owners, exhibitor and handlers been consulted directl}^ or indirectly 

 as to their wishes or preferences by the World's Fan- management of 

 the bench show. 



We respectfully ask for a reconsideration of the appointment of the 

 judges in which we at least may have an expression of our preference 

 for judges and the selection of ones more suitable. (Signed; Harry

It is said that the protest will have more names at Indian- 

 apolis. B. Waters. 



The World's Fair Show. 



We do not know what the World's Fair dog show is going 

 to amount to, but unless some action is taken more practical 

 and better calculated to meet the views of dogmen, the show 

 will not have the importance and eclat attached to it which 

 such an affair should have. Mr. Mortimer has been ap- 

 pointed superintendent o-. cr a numerous list of applicants 

 for the position, and provided he is allowed to handle the af- 

 fairs in his own practical manner, and than whom, owing to 

 his experience wuth the Westminster Kennel Club show no 

 man is better fitted for the task, exhibitors would have con

fidence in the undertaking. Mr. Mortimer, however, is told 

 that they, the W^oi-ld's Fair people, will attend to the clerical 

 work, and he can arrive in time to take hold of the rest of 

 the business. A pretty mess there w^ould be, to be sure, if 

 this happened. The proper arrangement of the catalogue 

 and the knowledge of the dogs, their owners and names con- 

 stitutes one of the most important feat tires of a thoroughly 

 experienced manager. Put this work into the hands of ordi- 

 nary inexperienced, from the dogly view, clerical help, and 

 where will a show of such magnitude find itself? The run- 

 ning of a show after the dogs arrive constitutes but a part, 

 and in our mind a secondary one to the preliminary work. 



Then take the premium list, it is an impracticable arrange- 

 ment anyhow. Mr. Mortimer, we tmderstand, wrote Mr. 

 Buchanan to that effect, and suggesting another one, but up 

 to a week since had received no answer. The specials and 

 their proper distribution and classification alone will form 

 no small item of preparatory work. 



We are drifting measurably near the time of the show and 

 no general and authentic list of the judges has been sent out, 

 and until we see it on the official premium list, which we 

 have never received, we shall simply give the list for what it 

 is worth, Mr. Mortimer not having acciuainted this office 

 with the particulars. Miss Whitney, St. Bernards and New- 

 foundlands; Major Taylor, English setters; Jas, L. Anthony, 

 pointers; Dr. Jarvis, Irish setters; Dr. H. C. Glover, Gordons; 

 T. S. Bellin, fox-terriers and bull-terriers; -John E. Thayer, 

 bulldogs; R. F. Mayhew, bloodhounds and some terriers; 

 Pottinger Dorsey, bassets, foxhounds and beagles. Exhib- 

 itors and handlers who coutrol important entries are not im- 

 pressed with the medal and sweepstake arrangements. Most 

 of the valuable dogs are in the East, and it costs money even 

 to go to a World's Fair .show, and they seem to think that 

 there should be some tangible, specified money prize in view. 

 The next few weeks should develop important results. We 

 shall see. 



That Sheepdog Picture. 



Editor Forest and Stream: 



The inclosed letter from Mr. Bowden effectualy clears 

 your kennel editor and myself of all blame in regard to the 

 sheepdog picture, and I therefore send it without other com-' 

 ment than that it is presumed, those writers and the publica- 

 tion making insinnaiious concerning it, will now have the 

 sense of justice to Avithdraw them. Edwin H. Morris. 



Hackensaok, N. J., March 23. 



Editor Forest and Stream: 



My attention has been called to remarks made in an Ameri- 

 can paper regarding the picture of sheepdogs at work which 

 appeared in the Forest and Stream some time ago. I would 

 say that the photograph was lent to Edwin H. Morris in 

 answer to a request for a picture of the dogs Wallace and Nell 

 he purchased from me, and I therefore consider any attack 

 made upon the publishers of this picture most unjustifiable. 



At the time Mr. Morris wrote for the photograph of thft 

 two dogs, Nell was away in Wales and I could not have her 

 photographed, but I had a photograph by me which had 

 been done some time, of the dogs Wallace and Fly, which I 

 sent, biit I must have forgotten to say they were the last 

 named dogs, and Mr. Morris took the photo as that of 

 Wallace and Nell; I may say Fly and Nell are much alike 

 and more so in a picture. , George F. Bowden.
