FOREST AND STREAM.

and considered a stylish, high-class dog in the field, though 

 in many ways an unlucky dog. He had his oS days, which 

 sometimes came at a critical moment when records were to 

 be made. Mr. S. C. Bradley, his late owner, writes: "Harry 

 C. with his kennel mate Rowdy Rod was as a brace the 

 best I ever expect to shoot over; and to mount a good saddle 

 horse and follow them in their work through the fields of 

 North Carolina would bring a sportsman's heart near 

 paradise, As companions they would win the love and 

 affection of the hardest heart. To lose Harry C. when just 

 in the prime of life is A'ery discouraging and a great loss." 

 Harry C. was sired by Roderigo out of Countess House; 

 whelped June, 1888. He was well known as a field trial per- 

 former, having won third Eastern field trials Derby in 1889; 

 second Central field trials Derby in 1889; divided third Cen- 

 tral field trials All-Age in 1891; third Eastern field trials 

 All-Age in 1893; first Philadelphia Club's All-Age in 1893. 



Ch. Spinaway. 



One cannot but admire Mr. L. C.Whiton's persistent efforts 

 fo secure a litter from his greyhound champion Spinaway, 

 that he hopes will do justice to the bitch and her breeding. 

 After paying the largest stud fee demanded for any dog, $300, 

 and incurring the additional expense of a voyage to England 

 and return, his efforts proved of no avail owing to Fullerton's 

 impotence. He returned the bitch to the Short Plats Kennel, 

 and mating her -svith Young Pullerton, a brother of the cele- 

 brated courser, this time he has been more fortunate and the 

 result is ten puppies, five of which are dogs. They are all 

 brindle in color and were whelped at the Marlboro Kennels, 

 Lawrence, L. I., and .should the puppies be well raised Mr. 

 Whiton will have the nucleus of both a good show and 

 field kennel. Young Fullerton is said to be the fastest dog in 

 England, and we all know how good the Neversettle and 

 Partera blood, from which Spiuaway springs, is in the field. 

 We trust Mr. Whiton wiU have the success with them that 

 he deserves. 



An English Visitor. 



We are sorry to have missed Mr. W. H. Rothwell, of Roch- 

 dale, Lancashire. England, who called at this office the day 

 he sailed for England. Mr. Rothwell has been on a visit to 

 Chicago and is a well known fox-terrier fancier on the other 

 side, being the owner of no less a dog than Milnrow Process, 

 Last Sunday Mr. Rothwell saw Mr. Belmont's kennels and 

 also the Grove Kennels, owned by Messrs. Purroy and Ger- 

 man Hopkins. Mr. Rothwell thinks well of both kennels, 

 some of the bitches being good, but the dogs are too strong 

 iu head— skull properties. He left us a capital photo of Miln- 

 row Process, which presents a very smart-looking terrier. 

 Mr. Rothwell sailed on the Servia on Tuesday. 



Must Not Be Hurried. 



The foirowing dispatch appears in the Evening Telegram, 

 N. Y.: "Chicago, May 9.— Perhaps there will be no dog show 

 at the World's Fail- after all. The American Kennel Club 

 wants the judges of dogs appointed at once, and Chief 

 Buchanan, of the Department of Agriculture, has made such 

 want known to the Live Stock Committee of the National 

 Commission. This matter was considered by the Live Stock 

 Committee last evening, and it was decided not to recom- 

 mend that the club's requ&st be granted." We asked Mr. 

 Vredenburgh about this, and he stated emphatically that 

 the American Kennel Club had sent no_such notice, nor had 

 there been any meeting authorizing hini to do so. 



Pointer Club Meeting. 



A special meeting of the Pointer Club was held at 40 

 Broad street, New Y ork. last Monday at 3 P. M. Present: 

 Messrs. John S. Wise, G. Muss-Arnolt, George Jarvis, G. F. 

 Webster and C. F. Lewis. Resignation of president, Mr. J. L. 

 Anthony, was received and accepted. Mr. Adrian C. Pick- 

 hardt was elected a member and also elected one of the execu- 

 tive committee iu place of Mr. Anthony. A resolution was 

 adopted that members in arrears for dues 90 days should not 

 be allowed to compete for club specials. Mr. George La 

 Rue's resignation was also accepted. Another meeting will 

 be held June 8 and a president elected. The club has 43 

 members. 



Fox-Terriers. 



A writer in Scottish Fancier, over the pseudonym of 

 "Utility" says, "Any one vdth a knowledge of fox-terriers 

 for the last fifteen or twenty years should know how the 

 type of the fox-terriers has swung backward and forward 

 like a pendulum. The original rough-and-tumble hunts- 

 man's terrier w&s refined uutil it was openly hinted that an 

 Italian greyhound cross had been introduced, when the 

 revulsion of feeling brought in a hardv-looking. cobby stamp, 

 like old Raby Tyrant. Since then we have gradually drifted 

 back, until perfection is a dog that should weigh 241bs. , but 

 only weighs 181bs., as he has neither bone nor brisket." 



Dog Law in Pennsyivania. 



The act of 1889 has proved very unsatisfactory to the sheep 

 growers of Pennsylvania, and it looks now as if a new bill 

 will be passed by the present legislature. It has already 

 passed the House, and is now in the Senate. It proAades that 

 the county commissioners shall annually levy a tax upon 

 each dog of not more than two dollars and of not less than 

 fifty cents. This money shall then be paid into the county 

 treasury as a dog fund, to be applied to payments of losses of 

 sheep. If more than $200 t)f the fund remains over at the ex- 

 piration of the year, the money reverts to the county treasuiy 

 for county purposes. LTnder the act dogs are made personal 

 property. 



Mascoutah Kennel Club. 



The Mascoutah Kennel Club held its annual meeting May 

 1 in room 314 Monadnock Building, Chicago, at which the 

 following officers and directors were elected for the ensuing 

 year: Pres., W. J. Bryson; First Vice-Pres., W. Borden; 

 Second Vice-Pres., E. W. Bangs; Treas., Clifford S. Payson; 

 Sec'y, John L. Lincoln. Directors, to serve three years— W. 

 J. Bryson, Arthur Meeker, Charles Schwartz, G. A. Schwartz, 

 Frank Floyd, W. A. Daniels, W. B. Linn. 



AINew Gordon in the Field. 



Mr. Edwin H. Morris has just received per steamship Exe- 

 ter City the second prize Gordon setter bitch at the last Cruf t's 

 show. She was then out of coat, having just had a litter of 

 pups, or would probably have been first. He also had on this 

 same ship a Sussex spaniel of the most celebrated strain, 

 being sired by the dog Mr. Jacabs used to the last and said 

 was the best sire in England. Mi-. Morris does not want to 

 tell any more about this dog, as it is a dark one for World's 

 Fair honors. 



The systematic way in which Mr. A. D. Stewart is arrang- 

 ing for the Canadian exhibit at the World's Fair show 

 strikes us as worthy of emulation. Preparations seem to 

 go on irrespective of the dilatory work of the W. F. show 

 people in respect to the coming show. There is, and we .sup- 

 pose where there are so many men and interests it is un- 

 avoidable, so much red tape about the whole of the prepara- 

 tory work. At 5 P, M. on Wednesday, May 3, we received 

 from Mr. Waters, otir Western staff correspondent, the fol- 

 lowing telegram: "The list of AYorld's Fair bench show 

 judges is being considered by the National Commission to- 



day and they will probably be apj)ointed to-day. The re- 

 vised programme will be issued immediately thereafter. 

 There is a probability that the closing of entries will ]pe 

 po.stponed till June 1." Later adATices from Mr. Waters 

 state that the judges' list has not yet been decided upon. 

 With entries closing on June 1 there would still be ample 

 time before June 13 to get the catalogue ready. As the 

 promised i-evised premium list is no-t yet forthcoming it may 

 be well to again suggest that the rule regarding returned 

 entry fees for absent dogs be rescinded, and while the entry 

 fee might still be kept at the same amount the fee be a for- 

 feit, in the usual way, whether the dogs show up or not. 

 This will do p-way with a lot of clerical work and keep the 

 catalogue within reasonable bounds. 



Dr. Hoyt, of Sharon, Pa., sends us a capital cabinet photo 

 card containing fifteen acrobatic scenes, m which his little 

 Italian greyhounds are taking part. Any one who knows 

 how difficult it is to obtain good photographs of these shiv- 

 ering little "dudelets" of dogdom, will appreciate the 

 cleverness with which these pictures have been secured, and 

 the high state of training to which the dogs have been 

 brought. 



We have received photographs of the Cumberland Kennels' 

 great Danes champion Melac, Minerva, Charmion, Jennie, 

 Zellar, Norman a,nd Theseus, names which have become 

 familiar during the past show season, Some of the pictures 

 are good, while otherSj such as Melac'saud Minerva's, do not 

 by any means do justice to these dogs. The pictures, how- 

 ever, are a welcome addition to our collection of canine 

 celebrities. 



We understand from Mr. W. J. Johnson, an Englishman, 

 who came to this country last September, that his brother 

 will bring over some of Lord Aylesford's fox-terriers for the 

 World's Fair show. He will arrive about the end of this 

 month. 



There is no more enthusiastic mastiff man in this country, 

 if weexcei)t Mr. Wade, than Mr. C. E. Bunn, and it is pecu- 

 liarly gratifying to find he has succeeded in breeding a litter 

 of five pups, all dogs, from his celebrated bitch Caution's 

 Own Daughter. The pups are now nine days old. 



Dog poisoners are rampant in Hamilton, Canada. Several 

 good ones have already been poisoned. Among them Harry 

 Breay's beagle bitch Juno, which won first in the Hamilton 

 show in 1891, beating some well known and good ones. She 

 created a good deal of attention then but was never shown 

 afterward. 



The Cragstone Kennels, owned by Mr. Pierpont Morgan, 

 and of which R. K. Armstrong is the manager, one would 

 think would be content to rest on their oars this year at 

 least. Not so, however. They are after a greater yet than 

 Sefton Hero, but the price set, §7,500, is thought too high, 

 further news than this we cannot as yet disclose The new 

 kennels will be completed in a fortnight. Besides the collies 

 bought at the Collie Club show, Mr. Armstrong tells us there 

 are some more on the 'ocean, particulars of which will be 

 given later. With this new active blood in the collie world, 

 this breed, neglected somewhat lately, except by two kennels, 

 Avill take on a new lease of life we hope. 



Mr. D. P. Robertson, of Brooklyn, who has been spending 

 the winter in South Carolina, had his valuable pointer dog 

 eaten by an enormous alligator. But Mr. Robertson killed 

 the alligator, which weighed nearly 7001bs. The pointer was 

 well known in Brooklyn and was a pet of "Boss" Mc- 

 Laughlin.— IJxc/icmge. 



A good many people have asked us where the Lenox 

 Lyceum is, the venue of the Pet Dog show to be held the end 

 of this month. It is situated at Fifty-ninth street and Madi- 

 son avenue. New York. 



Mr. R. G. Stewart, of Washington, D. C, has just imported 

 the smooth fox-terrier Holster. He is by Kermincham Lancer 

 out of Qui Vive and was whelped July, 1891. Bred by 

 Rlr. F. L. Evelyn, England. The Field, England, said of 

 Holster in a March last issue: "He has a hard close coat, 

 good legs and feet, nice terrier expression, and withal quite 

 a useful sort." Although only shown four times he has 

 beaten some of England's best, including Dane Forester, 

 Milnrow Process, Hunter Honeymoon, etc., and won second 

 to Vice Regal at Manchester, first and second at Leominster 

 and second Kennel Club show, Islington. Mr. Stewart will 

 shortly plaxje him at stud. 



Refuge II. was opened by Dr. Sherwood after death and a 

 large ball of hair was found in his intestiaes, and this was 

 the cause of death. 



A correspondent in one of the suburbs of New York re- 

 quests us to state that he has recently purchased a setter dog 

 which subsequent investigation leads him to believe has 

 strayed away from his former owner. The dog in question 

 is well bred and broken, but perhaps a little gun-shy. Any 

 one who will accurately describe the dog, give correct date 

 as to time of disappearance and produce undoubted proofs 

 of former ownership, can communicate through this office 

 with the present owner by addressing "W.," care of Forest 

 AND Steeam, 318 Broadway, N. Y. 



Mr. "Al" Eberhart, while enjoying his A. K. C. vacation, 

 still has an eye to future business. Going to Lima, O. , he 

 bought out the Shawnee Pug Kennels, owned by Mr. O. P. 

 Kinnie, who has been breeding pugs for some time, but did 

 not show but once, when his Sir Douglas took first at Grand 

 Rapids in the puppy class. There were 13 pugs in the Shaw- 

 nee Kennels. Also in the kennel were three belonging to Mr. 

 W, F. Harn, of Oklahoma City, O. Territory, and these were 

 also purchased, making 16 in all, a large pug purchase. These 

 pugs will all be new faces, and most of them come out at the 

 Blue Grass K. G. show at Lexington, Ky. 



Mr. Ed. Brooks is extending his kennels at Hyde Park, 

 Mass., and they will soon be finished. The other day he 

 bought the Irish terrier bitch Biddy Mahone from Frank 

 Dale. His Nora II. is due to whelp this week to Valley 

 Boxer. The Dandle Sarah has brought him four good 

 bitches by Amphion and to-morrow Ainsty Daisy is due to 

 whelp to King o' the Heather. Mr. Brooks wUl' soon have 

 a kennel of workers that will, no doubt, afford him lots of 

 pleasure, as the owner of the Heather Kennels is a sports- 

 man and does not believe in biic-a-brac dogs. 



Mr. .lames Mortimer tells us that he knoAvs absolutely 

 nothing about the arrangements for the World's Fair show. 

 Mr. Mortimer has been generally credited in different papers, 

 both daily and class journals, with getting up that "fake 

 list," but he assured us, very emphaticallv, that he has had 

 nothing to do with it. Further as a little item regarding 

 the way things are managed in Jackson Park, Mr. George 

 Gall, who went out to attend to preliminaries, etc., has to 

 pay admission every time he enters the grounds. This em- 

 phasizes the important information Mi-. Waters sends in this 

 week regarding passes. 



We recently published particulars of the new dog tax law 

 in Maine, and now we find that there is much kicking in the 

 country towns against the payment of the tax. It seems 



that notices were not posted as required, because the law did 

 not take effect until too late, and this has caused the difficulty. 

 An eminent Maine jurist has given it as his emphatic opinion 

 that notice or no notice, the tax can be legally collected. The 

 dog owners are trying to shirk the tax because of the defect 

 in the law mentioned above. 



A dispatch from Minneapolis, Minn., states that a meeting 

 was to be held on the 10th (yesterday) to organize a kennel 

 club. As a result of the organization a dog show will 

 probably be given in connection with the summer carnival. 



The Lincoln Park commissioners have purchased recently 

 a St. Bernard from ISLv. Harry L. Goodman, to be put in 

 company of the baby lions with a A-iew to fraternizing them. 

 This opens up a new sphere for the "holy breed," and a not 

 altogether delightful one for the St. Bernard, unless it be of 

 the proportions of a Lord Melrose, or Lord Bute. 



The Homing Instinct in Dogs. 



Editor ForeM and Stream : 



In connection with the homing instinct of dogs, I send you 

 a,n instance that outranks anything of the kind that I h.ave 

 ever read or heard of. A family moving from the township 

 of Plympton, Lambton county, Canada, to the Northwest, 

 via Chicago and St. Paul, took with them a liver-colored 

 spaniel dog. This animal disappeared at St. Paul, and in 

 two weeks from that time was back at his old home in 

 Canada. Among other difliculties to be overcome would 

 be the crossing of the St. Clair river. Now, as it seems 

 improliable that he could travel that great distance in two 

 weeks, the question is: how did he make the journey ?

Not Against the Greyhound Judge. 



Editor Forest and Stream: 



During the time of the Continental Kennel Club show I 

 signed the "protest" against the judges appointed for the 

 World's Fair show. Being a greyhound fancier many no 

 doubt take it that I signed said "protest" because 1 wished to 

 oppose Roger Williams. Such is not the case. 1 signed it be- 

 cause I did not approve of the method pursued in appointing 

 the judges. Also, because, like many others, I thought John 

 Davidson should have bee a recognized. In justice to Roger 

 Williams I would state that the Western men appreciate his 

 appointment because he is a Western naan and because he is 

 competent. L. F. Bartels.

Separate Rings for Toys. 



Editor Forest and Stream: 



Your article in last issue as to bench shows providing a 

 separate exercising: ring for toy dogs, is just exactly correct. 

 It should be done at all shows, and can be at a very slight 

 expense. I've had several narrow escapes at several shows 

 when big dogs tackled my toys. Being in the ring with 

 the dogs and jumping between them in time was all that 

 prevented disaster. Al. G. Eberhart. 



William Rabbitts, Jr. 



We have not heard much of Mr. William Rabbitts, Jr. , 

 since his man-iage, he not having devoted much time to busi- 

 ness. J\Ir. Rabbitts is, however, again on the warpath, and 

 is at liberty to communicate with high-class manufacturers 

 with a view to bringing meritorious goods to the front. 

 There is no man better known on the road, for he has frater- 

 nal acquaintances over territory from Atlantic to Pacific and 

 Canada to Mexico. He will soon begin his trip through the 

 United States, calling on druggists, grocers, sporting goods 

 dealers, seed merchants, etc. His permanent address is Post 

 Office Lock Box 306, Philadelphia, Pa..—A-d/D.
