[u liifht-weight challenge dogs Launcelot scored once 

 more, Ossiniug being his competitor; he is beaten in sub- 

 stance behind shoulders; neither have good hpads nor true 

 forelegs. Champion Fan N. was absent in bitches. In light- 

 ■weight dogs last year's winner, Arthur, properly repeated 

 his Tictory, his nearest competitor being Ridgeview Faust, 

 well known now, and the Pawtucket winner Dash A. came 

 next. Skip, fourth, is a black with a mean expression and 

 none too well taailt in body; loin Hat. Ridgeview Donald, 

 reserve, is a much better animal; he is faulty before the eye 

 and could be better in front. Sike, vhc. , is light in body and 

 dish-faced. Ned of Beaufort, vhc, has a coarse skull and is 

 not deep enough in muzzle; he also should have more sub- 

 stance thronghout, especially in body. Duke's Joe, he, 

 should not have such a wide front, and at the .same time his 

 body is shallow and light in loin. Tunjing to light-weight 

 bitches Ave find Wild Lily, the winner last yea.-, in the same 

 position; .she is rather light in mnzzle but is a .stylish, well- 

 formed light-weight. Bioom, second, is a moretyiaical bitch, 

 I think, and has a lietter head and more substance. Devon 

 Pearl, another uew one, a daughter of Devon Fan, loses to 

 the other in head and front. Queen Nell, fourth, inbeautifirl 

 form, would do with more stop; head rather plain and ears 

 carried wide, i ).ssining's Flush, reserve, is not deep enough 

 iu chest and has a flat, plain head. Dolly is a lso rather flat- 

 faced. Merrjr f^ad I could not find, Westminster Blanche, 

 he, has a snipy, weak muzzle and ears are badly carried; 

 her legs are the best part. A likely looking puppy is Duke 

 of Pontiac, who won in dog pnps; he has a little too much 

 stop, but. good legs, feet and body and should make a pretty 

 good one. In hitches another of Geo. Ijovell's breeding took 

 the "'Spralts;" she is of the same litter as the dog pup, but 

 not so good in muzzle as the dog, but is equally well built 

 behind that. Strebor Augusta, -second, has a dished, light 

 muzzle, and is not very good in front. We were pleased to 

 see Mr, Ijovell win the kennel prize, but we fail to see where 

 Duke of Dexter beats either Arthur or Duke of Kent, losing 

 to both in several points, 



Engllsh SETTER.S {John Davidson, Judge). — Although the 

 quality was not as good as in some former years, the classes 

 were splendidly filled by a lot of very useful .setters. In this 

 breed the New England Field Trial Club came out strong, 

 and benching their dogs together made a very imposing 

 array. The handsome Kent li. was alone in challenge class. 

 Old champion Patil Gladstone put in an appearance, bitt not 

 to take part in the fun. The old dog really looked well, and 

 though he goes a bit dicky behind now, he'still looks as if he 

 could raise a good gallop. He is nearly 11 years old, and his 

 has been an active life. Our old favorite. Blue Nell, beat 

 Donna Juanita in challenge bitches; better in head. The 

 dog-class was a scorcher. No less than 33 trailed round the 

 ring. A judge would need be infallible to judge this lot 

 without making a slip or two. First went to the New York 

 winner, Sheldon, followed by the Earl, who droops in quar- 

 ters; is otherwise well shaped; brow perhaps a little too 

 prominent. Handsome Prince L., a frequent winner lately, 

 took third from Count Noble's Boy, fourth. He is a slackly 

 made dog behind the shoulder, is a bit out at elbows and 

 coarse iu skull. Nornnan, reserve, has quite a nice head, but 

 is not sprung enough in ribs; nicely made dog otherwise. 

 Domingo could do no better than vhc. his time. He is faulty 

 before the eye and has a narrow muzzle. His feet and stifles 

 are not above suspicion. Don Alonzo, from the same keimel, 

 was also vhc. , and another well known dog, Glendon, was 

 also iu the same class, and so was the well known Reverdy, 

 who is a little too coarse and big for oniinary usage. Bow 

 Bondhu gets her tail too far up; a strongly made bitch, 

 though she is back on her pasterns. Tennessee \andal, he, 

 is fairly well formed; faulty front and muzzle. Kent 

 III., also he, should fill out into a nice one, as he possesses a 

 sweet exjjression and well formed head. Sam of Darlington 

 is coarse in skull and back on pasterns. Real English, the 

 winner of first, New York, was left out of it completely; he 

 does not walk quite strongly behind, still his cure was a 

 wonderful one, and John Brett deserves every praise for his 

 patience, the dog is of excellent type and what we require 

 and should certainly have been well up. In bitches (23) the 

 winner proved to be Victress Lewellyn again. Maid Marion, 

 a pup we saw last summer, took second, lots of quality, only 

 needs time in body, head excellent and of correct type,good legs 

 and feet. Blue Jennie, third, is small, plain muzzle, faulty 

 action, is a sort of orange tan, bkie belton. Alice Gray, 

 fourth, a capitally made bitch, rather fiat faced, needs more 

 stop, is a very pretty bitch. Jes.sie Noble 11., reserve, was a 

 winner at Pawtucket show. A lot of vhc. dogs followed, 

 neither of which would do for warm company. Queen Kent 

 has a heavy skull, Star has a flat, plain face and quarters 

 droop; Our Pet is a nicely made bitch all round, shown fat, 

 she could be improved in muzzle a little and hind action. 

 Doretta, he, is narrow in body and has a plain, weak mtiz- 

 zle. Fanny Gladstone is a nicely formed bitch, barring want 

 of a little more stop and bend of stifle. Prima Donna, one 

 of our best bitches on the bench to-day, was entirely over- 

 looked, getting nothing. Some good puppies were shown. 

 Dash Kent woii in dogs, and partaices a good deal of his 

 sire's charactori;^Lics, especially in head. In bitches Maid 

 Marion won. Rosecrott Kennels took the kennel prize. 



IKISH Setters [Jtilui Davidmn, Judge).— These classes 

 were well filled, too, and many of the well-known faces seen at 

 the shows this sjjriug were on hand to greet us again. The 

 benching of these dogs was enough to exasperate a saint, 

 never name a kennel editor. The Oak Grove Kennels were 

 in one part of the building, Seminole Kennels in another, 

 and then down another row altogether went the rest of the 

 parade. This should all be stopped. Champion Tim 

 scored another blue ribbon and a medal in challenge dogs, 

 and Kildare follow^ed, beating Seminole this time. The 

 week previous the positions were reversed. There were 

 seven dogs out for this medal. In challenge bitches old 

 Laura B. scored again, downing her hitherto successful 

 rival, Noma. In open dogs ^"ourig Tim scored over Mon- 

 tauk, Jr., from the same k'jnnel. This is a bit of a reversal. 

 I like Mout auk's head better, especially skull. Kildare 

 Eieho, third, is faulty iu loin and quai-ters and muzzle not 

 square enough, Pemberton, fourth, is a good mover, feet 

 turn out, eye light, but head well formed; rich color. 

 Mack D., reserve, has a coarse head and is too leggy and 

 rather flat-sided. Glen Jarvds, vhc, is w^ell knowii, leggy 

 and large size. Henraore Shamrock was absent. In open 

 bitches (11) a number of well-known animals took part. 

 The Marchioness, a frequent winner lately, took premier 

 honors, Maid of Borstal coming next; a nicely-formed bitch, 

 faulty in muzzle. Shaudon Belie, third, has a Avell-.shaped 

 head, feet turn out a little, body good, excellent behind; a 

 very pretty bitch that might well have been higher irp. 

 Rose Morton, fourth, N\-e h-ave commented on frequently. 

 She ueod.s more stop, Delphiune, reserve, is also an old 

 acquaintance ami deserved her position; and so did another 

 well-known bii eh, Alice ivcnt; faulty in muzzle and would 

 be improved with more spring of rib." Claremont Heather, 

 he, and Molly Gleudyne il., e, brought up the rear. Qtute 

 a good cla.ss and A-ery even. Quincy" the Avinning dog pup, 

 is a bit domy in skull yet, King Sure, second, is too fine iu 

 muzzle aud ears flap high. A neat little bitch in Jessequin 

 secured the bitch prize. She stands very narrow in front, is 

 light throughout yet, ISIiss Inchiquin, second, is not quite 

 straight in front. Oak Grove Kennels, by force of number, 

 Avrcsted the kennel piize. 



GOKDON Setters { John Davidson, Judge).— It struck one 

 very forcibly that there was something Avrong in this breed 

 when Ave did not see the familiar faces of Ben and Ivanhoe, 

 Leo and the Duchess; the mUk ia the cocoauut floAved when 



I saw that medals, not coin, were the attractions in the chal- 

 lenge classes. Tni'^ let Rexmont and Becky Sharp in for 

 challenge wins. In open dogs that Avell-made one Ranger B. 

 was again placed over Cotrrit Noble; Dixej^, third, having a 

 rather plain head and stary eye, and isdark in tan; otherwise 

 well made. Archibald, fourth, is well knoAvn now. Gordon 

 Grouse, reserA^e, is too full in skull, nice muzzle and ta-n; 

 coat should be flatter. In bitches. Fan, the Avinner at Paw- 

 tucket, beats Lady Maud in sktiil and muzzle. Minnie T. 

 has smutty tan; should have more stop; is well marked on 

 legs and feet. Queen Noble, fourth, is light in tan, .stands 

 on good legs, but should have more rib. Ven, reserve, is 

 slack in back, and if she had more stop would have a good 

 head. Juliette, vhc, is plain in muzzle, heavy in front and 

 wavy-coated. Fairmont, spoken of before, AA'as the Avinning 

 dog pup, but the jud^e thought second quite good enough 

 for the bitch pup Fairmount C. T. Brownell, Ave were 

 pleased to see, won the kennel prize This breeder sticks to 

 his Gordons year in and year out and is one of our oldest ex- 

 hibitors and breeders. 



Beagles {.John. JJavidson, Judge).— We believe that the 

 entry here is a record one, or at any rate equals Mr. Ditf en- 

 derffer's large entry a couple of years ago. We Avish we 

 could say more for the quality, hoAvo'er; it was A^ery mixed, 

 and there seems to be no true conception of type, especially 

 in body, so many of them run long, and as sure as they do 

 you generally get the head coarse and loug. Bassets and 

 beagles, though both commence Avith a B, are as Avide apart 

 in type as dogs can well be. Breeders should get rid of tlieir 

 straight-legged bassets; this is nearly Avhat some of them are. 

 In challenge dogs, Frank Forest, looking very Avell, scored 

 over Racer, Jr., especially behind. Roy K. absent. In 

 bitches, old Lou, getting A'ery cranky, just won on her shape, 

 and should now be retired. Etneline, good bitch that she is, 

 though she loses a little in head, can beat the old bitch iu 

 other parts, and especially in action. 



In the open dogs (9) the standard was used freely and 

 many dogs bad to walk the plank and out. Among others' 

 Pulboro Crafty, AA^ho Avon under the same .judge last year, 

 had to forego competition, on account of his height, his ken- 

 nel mate Thunderer, however, pulled (literally) throtrgh and 

 eventually won; he is a plain sort. Diamond Forest, 

 .second, is too long cast, not rib enough, good bone and 

 front. Puzzle, third, is big and coarse, fair shaped head, is 

 too big. Jerry, reserA-e, is also coar.se in head and is not 

 very typical. Rambler II., vhc, well deserA-ed letters, as his 

 head is fairly good, but his feet turn out, howeA^er. In 

 bitches (10) the competition Avas keener. Oracle, the win- 

 ner, is a little slack in back, but excellent in front and shape 

 of body and coat, skull is a trifle broad and heavy. Lufra, 

 from the same kennel, second, should be deeper in muzzle, 

 is long in body, nice skull and forepart. Gypsy A. is Avell 

 knowm, big, long body. Prudence, reserve, another of the 

 same sort that Ave don't Avant in the breed, they are not 

 right type and should not be shown. Chesterford Beauty, 

 formerly Minnehaha, was thought no better of than at Bal- 

 timore. We cannot see Avhere any one can put this bitch 

 alongside of Lonely for instance, her body is long enough 

 and her legs are bad and action Avorse; she has a good type 

 of head and that is all. 



In the smaller dogs Joe H. proA'ed the winner. He beats 

 Paderewski, second, in front. Clyde, third, is wrong at both 

 ends as a shoAv dog, but he takes no dust in the field. Laddie, 

 A'hc, is pinched in muzzle, bad front, narrow, long body; is 

 just one of that weedy type that the CoA^ert Kennels want to 

 eradicate from their stock. They are not right and are doing 

 harm. In bitches Lonely could not be denied. She has kept 

 herself wonderfully well and is an object lesson for breeders 

 to pattern after. Maida, second, has a nice head and expres- 

 sion, light loin and quarters, but a very pretty bitch, with 

 lots of quality. Topsy S,, third, is well knoAvn. She has 

 gone off a little from earlier form. Spot Reed, reserve, is a 

 nice stamp, and were she straighter in front and shorter in 

 muzzle, would dust the best of them. Fanny Reed, well 

 known, took vhc. here. It was a little warm for her in this 

 company. Norah K., vhc. is a bit otit in front and long in 

 body; head should be shorter, too. Queen Racer deserved 

 her two letters. The puppies showed nothing A^ery startling. 

 Start, the Avinning dog, is not straight in front and rather 

 long, and his skull needs toning doAvn. Rockland Kennels 

 took the kennel prizes. 



Dachshukds (C. If. Mason, Judge). — Zulu II. and Janet 

 furnished the challenge winners. Janet looked much better 

 than at jSTew York. In open class, two capital young dogs 

 with outrageous names, Plethyosamus and Icthyosamus, 

 AA'Cre shoAvn by Mr. Manice. They are young yet, but give 

 promise of being more than good; they are sons of Pterodac- 

 tyl. In bitches. Princess beats Linda in length of head, 

 body, skin and intense type. The puppies were the same as 

 in open classes, the pup Avhose name begins with P Avinning 

 the §2,50 challenge cup for best American-bred. 



Bassets (C H. Mason, Judge).— A nice lot ot these. Roaa^- 

 ton Wag, the winner, beats in depth and length of head, 

 better in muzzle than second, Minetta, and better body. 

 Primrose Juggler showed more type and quality and better 

 head and leather than the lot; he is deeper iu chest and better 

 ribbed too. Folly is fine in muzzle, narrow-chested, and is 

 faulty behind. 



Foxhounds {John Davidson, Jit d(/e).— Most of them were 

 half American and English in type and Avere of all sorts. 

 Prince proved the winner in dogs, beating Tom, second, 

 especially behind and in straightness of pasterns and in ribs. 

 Brave's Boy has not depth enough of chest; was very 

 throaty. The others need no comment. Waltham JeAvel 

 and Elite I could not find. If .shoAvn they can beat many of 

 those mentioned. In bitches Judy is a nice-headed bitch, 

 good length, ribs and neck and legs and feet. Fanny, second, 

 is a litlle heavy in shoulders, stands back on pasterns and 

 has a plain, roman-nosed head. 



Collies (C. H. Mason, Judge). — The turn out was a good 

 one, and our best were to be seen. Competition Avas keen, 

 and hearts Avere sore thereover. In challenge dogs Roslyn 

 Wilkes, getting cheeky, won OA'er The Squire, Avho loses in 

 .skull, but I think has an advantage in .substance, coat and 

 body. In the absence of Flurry II. old Cora II. picked up 

 another blue ribbon, this bitch is a most lucky one. The 

 dog class (18) was a warm lot. After the sorting the issue 

 for first place lay between Wellesbourne Charlie and Gold- 

 dust, the former Avon. While Golddust has the cleaner, 

 longer head, he must giA^e AA'ay to Charlie in expression and 

 eye, then in front he is not so straight, and comparing bodies 

 Charlie has a good deal of advantage in depth and substance, 

 behind he is better, being more bent in hocks, and in car- 

 riage of stern there is no comparison. With this iu his favor, 

 the judge had no choice in the matter, Golddust needs 

 showing in good coat and flesh, as Ave are informed he was 

 when shoAvn at Liverpool, where he scored so heavily. 



Renown, third, is outclassed Avith these two, and had Ches- 

 terford Hero and Marvel been in better shape they should 

 have had his place, either of them, they haAdng Avonderful 

 coats, longest and densest in the ghoAV or that Ave have seen 

 for some time, heads good, showing lots of quality, shy 

 showers, but when mtitured will have to be reckoned Avith. 

 I like Marvel the better of the tvA'o. Scotson, vhc, thick in 

 head, hut a Dublin Scot coat and appearance. The others 

 need no particular mention. In bitches first Avent to Gypsey 

 Maid, who is too short from ear to eye. Ormsliirk Susie, 

 second, is full in skull aud not good on' pasterns. Highland 

 Floss has a betxer head than either and were she iu better 

 coat could beat them Avell. Chrissey, vhc. , is well-known and 

 Bertha II., vhc, is a little round and full in skull, short of 

 coat. Reserve Avent to Donna, of idee quality, .skull a little 

 wide, but excellent front and dense coat. Mother Shipton 



Avas the best of the he. division and I thought hardly treated, 

 as her expression is very pleasing, she has a good coat, nice 

 texture, good ears, but is going a bit in pasterns. Gypsey 

 Maid was the best piippy shown. Seminole Kennels took 

 the ke nnel prize and Wellesbourne Chailie the "president's 

 cup," 



Poodles (C. H. Mason J^tdgfe).— Strongest show of these 

 smart customers seen out for some time. There is a grow- 

 ing interest in them and the breed is quite worthy of 

 more attention than it has had heretofore. In open French 

 dogs Milo won from Poo-Bah, who is a little mixed in coat, 

 good loin, beaten in head by the other. Sambo, third, has a 

 nice coat, a little out of condition, just over, good head. Ia 

 bitches Chloe, first, is well known, and .so is Dinah, second. 

 Bellone, third, was in whelp; she is a little deficient in muz- 

 zle. Frou Frou, reserve, is wooly coated and not rib enough. 

 In Russian poodles the well knoAvn Lion and Dexter com- 

 peted, the latter entered wrongly, but transferred. They 

 have been commented on and Avere placed as before. Mr, 

 Trevor won the kennel prize and Mr. Htmnewell the brace 

 prize for browns, a color that seemed to take Avell. 



Bulldogs (C. H. Mason, Judge).— The entry here was 

 memorable for the first appearance of the crack. His Lord- 

 ship, and he did not disappoint the admirers of the bulldog. 

 Leonidas and Saleni furnished the challenge winners. Leo- 

 nidas has gone ofi" someAA'hat. In the dog class His Lordship 

 had only Wal Hampton to beat, AA-hich he does in depth of 

 muzzle, .stop, skull and body and wonderfully good front, 

 but the competition was made the occasion for a little fun, 

 the judge stringing Frank Dole, Avho handled His Lordship, 

 and James Mortimer, wfio held the rein over Hampton. It 

 seemed to be a very tight go between them, and Dole turned 

 A'Cry pale when the red ribbon was handed him, but the iu- 

 stant correction of the error brought the well known smile 

 to Frank's face; still the shock was so great that he forgot to 

 wink his alter ego. Rustic Sovereign, third, was well out of 

 this little joke. Billy, vhc, has a fairly good head, straight 

 at shoulder. Dr. Rush, vhc, big, coarse head and ear, not out 

 enough in front, flat-sided. White A^enn, a capitally made 

 bitch, was alone in her class. Her ears are large and fall over 

 too much; capital forelegs and just enough out at .shoulder; 

 good layback, wrinkle, .stop not deep enough, Avell broken 

 up and plenty of loose skin. Puppies were not promising. 

 WoodlaAvn Park Kennels Avon the kennel prize. 



Bo,STOS Teekieks (Dr. N. A. KnapiJ, Judge).— It is use- 

 less for us to go into this breed , the types of winners them- 

 selves were all mixed and the rest of the entries were of all 

 shapes, sizes and noses. The "bully" type seemed to preA^ail 

 and an unanswerable argument against the breed's ad- 

 mission to the A, K. C. , for Avhich that club is very much to 

 blame, may be advanced from the fact that one of the B. T. 

 judges pitts a so called Boston terrier. Countess, which is a 

 A'ery good imitation of a bulldog, first, and Ave find that she 

 comes honestly by her "mug," for her dam is a full blood 

 bull bitch, sire a Boston terrier, grand sire a bulldog and 

 grandam a bull bitch, and if the truth were knoAvn there are 

 a lot of the so-called Boston terriers masquerading under 

 the same false colors. Groton Tiger, first, in light weights, 

 is as near the type they seem to want to get than anything 

 else. Duke, a puppy Avinner, is an excellent imitation of a 

 bull and was evidently in the wrong class, being better than 

 the real bull pups shown. 



Pugs (G. H. Mason, Judge).— Yety poor entries. Seminole 

 Dixie, poor fellow, was passed over, and Midget beat Nellie 

 Bly in head, ear and body. Ivy Boy, first in dogs, beats Tip 

 Top in front, bone, muzzle and body, though second winner 

 has best skull, wu-inkle and ear. The bitch and puppy classes 

 were drawn blank. 



Tot Spaniels {C. H. Mason, .Didge)— The King Charles 

 spaniels were not conspicuous in quality. Romeo, the win- 

 ner, beats Laurietta in muzzle, good coat, tan and action; 

 the bitch is a nice headed little thing in excellent coat and 

 condition. Cockney Charlie, third, won here last year, he is 

 not high enough in skull, but has a good short deep muzzle. 

 Little Lady was the only Blenheim shown; she is a trifle high 

 on leg, but is well formed and had she a deeper stop would 

 have a capital head. Tavo infei-ior Japanese spaniels were 

 shown. In miscellaneous heavy-Aveights a nice typical New- 

 foundland in body and coat, won; he is rather long and 

 light in head. Arum-looking ChoAV Chow .got second; some- 

 body called it a buff Cochin. The selling class contained a 

 little of everything aud four flr.sts were giA'en. H. W. L. 



^Special Beporf). 



SPA^riELS (C. U. Mason, Judge). — ^Field Spaniels — ^Newtoni 

 Abbot Laddie was the only entry in challenge dogs and Brid- 

 f ord Ruby the same in corresponding bitch class. Both were 

 in bad condition. In open dogs. Brush AA^as first, Avith Otto 

 Obo, transferred from the open cocker dog class, second. 

 The last-named has a better head than the Avinner, cleaner 

 before the eye, but loses in body, coat aud field spaniel char- 

 acter. Both have fairly good' legs and feet and move well. 

 In open bitches, Rosedale Bess Avon easily from Dainty. The 

 former is Avell known, the latter does not Avant to be. In 

 field spaniels, liA^ers, Mount Vernon Prince, a A^ery moderate 

 specimen, Avas alone and took the ribbon. In any other 

 color, Jock Avas the only enti-y, and the prize was rightly 

 withheld. 



Cocker spaniels, challenge dogs, two entries. Fascination 

 and Middy. The former Avon. If the latter keeps on im- 

 proving it Avill be a close thing should they meet at the fall 

 shows. Challenge bitches, three entries. Black Duchess Avin- 

 ning. She shoAA' ed more type and quality than Amazement 

 or 1 Say. If shown in first-rate condition, Avith her nice head 

 and good body, it Avill take a good one to beat her. In open 

 dogs, first went to Duke Grant, AA'ith second to Donovan, 

 transferred from the any other color class, and Rex T, third. 

 The Avinner, although not a good one, shows quite some qual- 

 ity; his fault being a general coarseness. He stands on good 

 legs and feet, and beats Donovan in head and body. The 

 latter Avon handily over Rex T., whose good condition no 

 doubt put him over Duke Oban, reserve. I liked Brantford 

 Jet for the vhc. Although a wreck of his former self, he 

 beat Smike, vhc. , in head and body. Both are not quite right 

 on legs and feet. In open bitch class. Miss Chip won Avell in 

 hand from Ladj'^ Pete, second, with Carleton Cleo third, 

 Woodstock Dora reserve. The Avinner is well knoAvn and is 

 improving. She beat Lady Pete in head, body and coat. 

 Both haA^e very fair legs and feet. Carleton Cleo, third, Avas 

 closely pressed by Woodstock Dora, whose condition, how- 

 CA'er, was not of the best, and no doubt told against her. 



In any other color dogs Bim won, Avith Othello second and 

 Cherry Punch third. It was a close thing between these- 

 three, "and looking at them on their benches I liked Cherry 

 Punch best, Othello second and Bim third. In coiTCspond- 

 ing bitch class Mary Queen of Scots was alone. She wins; 

 easiest Avhen there is no competition, lu puppies Te.ss won.. 

 She seems to be going oS a little in head and in front, andi 

 Avill require some nursing to keep her right. She avou 

 with plenty to spare from Mona, who lost to her in body andi 

 coat. Neither are right in frout. -Juanita, reserve, seemed 

 to me to have been badly treated when looking at them on 

 the bench, but on taking her down I fully agree with the. 

 Avay Mr. Mason jplaced the class. Jack pf Clubs, unnoticed, 

 might have had a card. 



Clumber Spaniels. — Piince Karl, the only entry, did not 

 shoAv enough Clumber to satisfy the judge, and he withheld 

 the blue and awarded the red. I do not blame him. 



In field spaniel specials Mr. Keasbey won the Oldham cup 

 Avith Rosedale Bess. This Avas no doubt OAving to his other 

 entry, Bridford Ruby, having a sore foot. She could not 

 walk round the ring. George Bell won the kennel and brace 

 prizes for cockers. Mr. Mason handled the spaniel classes in
