Ho-tr the Tail Wagged the Dog. 



"This liere tMng of the tail waggra' tlie dog is founded on 

 fact," said the mau vrith the ginger beard. "Leastwise, I've 

 seen it did." The shoe drummer from "town" opened his 

 mouth to utter a mild protest, but the grocer gave him so 

 violent a nudge in the short ribs that he failed to make an 

 articulate sound, and the man with the ginger beard con- 

 tinued: "It haijpened like this: You see, dovvn in Mexico 

 they is a wasp with a stinger that is fuUtwo inches long and 

 chuck up with pizen from i)'int to root. One day one of 'em 

 socked his old prod right into the tip eend of the tail of a 



Eointer dog I had with me down there. Mebbe you won't 

 elieve it, but in less'n two minutes that ther tail had swelled 

 up so that it was anyhow four pounds heavier than the dog. 

 He was layin' there moanin,' and I commenced sayin' pore 

 feller and all that sort of thing, an' he tried to wag his tail. 

 NateraJ result: The tail bein' so much heavier, it jist bodily 

 wagged the dog off of his feet. I don't think I never saw a 

 patheticker .sight in all my life." — Brooklyn Eaqlc. 



We have forwarded the above to the StocJi-tyeoper, Eng., 

 "vyhich has a column reserved for such tales. 



SAN FRANCISCO DOG SHOW. 



especial Report.') 



The bench show which closed to night is by far the most 

 successful event ever held west of Chicago. The entry, 362, 

 is .just 102 more than were ever before brought together on 

 this coast. There doubtless was never a more surprised man 

 than Mr. Kaper was at the size and quality of the show. 

 The success of the show is due to the untiring labors of the 

 bench show committee, Messrs. G-. J, Watson, C. A. Haight, 

 J. B. Martin, Thos. Higgs and E. P. SchelL Mr. J. D. Sin- 

 clair proved an efficient assistant secretary, Mr. B. H. Wil- 

 liams kept the show in the neatest possible condition and 

 gave very general satisfaction. Dr. P. W. Skaife proved an 

 efficient veterinary. 



The fanciers here are very much pleased with Mr. Raper 

 as a judge. There are always a few disgruntled exhibitors 

 at every show, but on the whole he ga.ve very good satisfac- 

 tion. We find cause to differ with him in only one decision, 

 and think that that one must have been an oversight. He is 

 thorough in his work, quick, but yet careful. The show was 

 held in the spacious Mechanics' Pavilion, a building tliat 

 could accommodate on the ground floor at least 2,000 dogs. 

 The weather was delightful, as it always is in this city in 

 May, and the gate receipts were very good. The club will 

 clear from S750 to $1,000. But two accidents occurred to mar 

 the perfect success of the show. Mrs. G-racie's little toy 

 Yorkshire bolted from its attendant's lap, ran out of the 

 open door after its mistress and was run over by tlje electric 

 car that passas the door, killing it instantly. As the dog was 

 not provided with collar and chain the club are not respon- 

 sible, and Mrs. Gracie has only herself to blame. Mr. J. B. 

 Martin's fox-terrier Blemton Reefer had a large piece of his 

 ear bitten off by the terrier benched next to him. Prof. 

 Norris entertained a large audience every evening with his 

 excellent troup of 30 performing dogs. Prof. Parker will 

 find in this young debutant a rival of no mean merit. 



The classes numbered as follows (absentees 7): Mastiffs 15, 

 great Danes 12, St. Bernards 3~, IN ewfoundlands 10, grey- 

 hounds 17, deerhounds 6, American foxhounds 13, English 

 foxhounds 2, bloodhounds 1, pointers 51, English setters 29, 

 Gordons 6, Irish setters 14, Irish water spaniels 5, retrievers 

 2, Chesapeake Bay dogs 3, collies 13, cocker spaniels 27, 

 dachshunds 5, beagles—, Dalmatians 2, bulldogs 4, bull- 

 terriers 8, fox-terriers 49, black and tan terriers 1, Skyes 3, 

 Yorkshires 2, Scotch 2, toy terriers 5, Boston terriers 4' 

 Japanese .spaniels 3, English pugs 5, poodles 4, spitz 4, Es- 

 kimo 1, miscellaneous 7. 



The judging commenced shortly after 1 o'clock and pro- 

 ceeded very rapidly. The ring was as well served as we have 

 ever seen in the East. 



Mastiffs. — The mastiff dog class would not be excelled 

 in the smaller Eastern shows. The bitches, however, are a 

 weedy lot. Ingleside Crown Prince won again in open dog 

 class, not shown in the best condition, but his vastly superior 

 head aud excellent bone and body made him an easy win- 

 ner. He shows too much throatiness and wrinkle, but his 

 skull and width, length and depth of muzzle leave but little 

 to be desired. He moves very well for so heavy a dog. Lion, 

 second, occupied the same position last year. His coat was 

 in very bad condition; he, too, is much too throaty and his 

 ears are poorly carried. He was rightly placed. He is better 

 than Chinco, third, whom he beats in head, muzzle and 

 hind legs. Chinco has a very fair head but his ears hans; 

 poorly and he is not a good mover. He was shown in good 

 condition and has good bone. Bishop, vhc, has a fair .skull, 

 well hung ears and is a good mover, but he is too long in 

 muzzle and too leggy. Rex and Leon, given c. cards, are 

 only fair. Lomita Minting, first in open bitch class, is an ex- 

 cellent puppy, shown in the pink of condition. She is at 

 present too light in head and stands too high behind but is 

 grand in body aud limbs. Venus, second, is too long in 

 muzzle and too short in skull. Lomita Caution won in dog 

 puppies. He is pinched in nostrils and light in skull and 

 muzzle, but good in body and limbs. Lewis, second, is fair 

 in skull and muzzle, but has a very bad coarse coat. Lomita 

 Minting won again in bitch puppies. Queen, vhc, might 

 well have been unnoticed. She is much too light in head 

 has poor expression and badly carried ears. ' 



Great Danes.— Titan, first in open dogs, is a dog of the 

 proper type. We have stated for the past two years that the 

 class of great Danes bred on the coast were too heavy in 

 build, too much on the English mastiff order, and we are 

 pleased to see some of the proper type at last. Titan has the 

 best head in the class and is of the proper type and carriage 

 all over. He is a good mover but is slightly 'handicapped by 

 wretchedly cut ears. Riband, second, is of the proper type, 

 with grand character and carriage, good head and neck, 

 good shoulders and front, but straight in stifles. Lop, third' 

 is of the right type of head but is a bit too thick in skull and 

 carries his ears badly. Myers's Hector, vhc. , is the most ac- 

 tive, best-moving dog in the class, and about the soundest, 

 but is of the wrong type, being heavy in head and shoulders. 

 Cifisar, c. , we thought worthy of better mention. Though 

 straight in stifles, he has a very fair head and front. Marjel, 

 first in bitches, is of splendid head and type, and shown in 

 elegant condition; would not have won so easily had the 

 Harlequin bitch Mirtha, winner of second, been shown thin- 

 ner in flesh. Her obesity made her appear 'wide in front and 

 short in neck. Her head is of the right type and she moves 

 well. Hagar, third, is a well put up bitch of right type but 

 fairly beaten. Belle, vhc, is too short and sqatt^, otherwise 

 good. Dog puppies had only one entry, Ko-Ko, given third. 

 He is short and thick in head, with no character and a very 

 bad coat. 



St. Bernards (Rough-Coats).— The open dog class had 14 

 entries, two of them not for competition. California Ber- 

 nardo again beat California Alton and we think rightly so. 

 Alton beats Bernardo in girth of skull by at least an inch or 

 two, in muzzle both in width and depth, in bone, markings 

 and carriage of ears. Bernardo beats Alton in length of body 

 and height at shoulder. He is the more svmmetiical of the 

 two, and is by far the best mover. Alton moved his hind 

 legs very badly in the ring, and we think Mr. Raper fully 

 justified in putting him back on that account. Bernardo is 

 too dark in face, short in blaze and nose band, has fair bone 

 in front but a little light behind. Alton has the best blaze 

 and best shadings, but is a little short in couplings and nofc 

 quite right in ankles. Reglov, third, is an excellent puppy, 

 constantly improving. He is of good size, good body, good 

 bone and good type of head. Given age he will prove hard 

 to beat. He only lacks in the massiveness of skull and muz- 

 zle, which time alone can give him. Duke of Wellington, 

 reserve, has improved wonderfully during the past year. His 

 coat is about the best in the show. His body is very good, 

 skuU fair, muzzle hardly in proportion to his size, and less 

 all wrong. Given sbadings and straight limbs, he would 

 have been very near the top. Grand Chancellor, vhc, is tall 

 but a little too long in back aud fiat in ribs. He has good 

 skull but is too long in back muzzle. Columbus, vhc, is a 

 very promising seven months' puppy with nice skull and 

 muzzle, nice shadings and good markings, good coat and 

 good bone. Don M., unnoticed, is a magnificent dog with 

 good bone and size, but is a light fawn in color without white 

 markings, and looks too much lite a Leonberg. The open 

 bitch class did nob equal the dogs in qualitv, Fernwood Inez, 

 the winner, completely outclassed the balance. She is a 

 bitch that the best Eastern ones would find it hard to beat. 

 She is built on very massive lines, with good white markings, 

 light shadings, well hung ears, good skull, fair muzzle, good 

 coat, very good bone. She afterward won the special for best 

 St. Bernard in the show. Lady Delight, second, is prettily 

 marked and shaded, has good coat and shows good character, 

 hut is light in head. As she ia oJily H months old she may I 



be expected to develop a great deal yet in head and body. 

 Victoria, third, was shown too fat and with litter. She has 

 good skull and good bone, but is rather light in muzzle. She 

 is proving herself a .splendid brood bitch, however. Lady 

 Sylvia, reserve, is too small, and light in head; otherwise she 

 is good. Reglov won in dog puppies with Columbus second; 

 both previously mentioned. Jumbo, he, has fair head and 

 good bone; a wooly puppy coat. He is a very good sized 

 puppy, but faii'ly beaten. Monk, he, has just recovered 

 from a severe illness, but he will never equal his brother, 

 Columbus. Lady Grace, first in bitch puppies, is a wonder. 

 Eor a seven months' puppy her size, bone, body, skull and 

 muzzle are away above the ordinary. We sha,ll expect to 

 hear good reports of her in the open class in another year. 



Newfoundlands were a nondescript lot and not" worthy 

 of mention. 



Greyhounds. — Peter Jackson, the winner in open dogs, 

 had no difficulty in disposing of the rest of the class. He is 

 better in neck, back, loin and front, well let down in hocks 

 and well in stifles. Donard, second, has good head, neck 

 and front, but might be better in stifles and second thighs. 

 John W. , third, is a good free mover with good length of 

 neck, good shoulders, well arched loin and good length of 

 back. Examiner, reserve, might well have exchanged places 

 with .John W, He is a splendid muscled dog, good all 

 round, but not as good a mover. Flea, vhc, is too light in 

 muzzle, well arched, but light in loin, good length of neck, 

 but too straight in stifles. Open bitches brought out several 

 good ones. It was a close thing btween Lady H. (Jlendyne, 

 the winner, and Valley Queen, second. Both are grand 

 bitches. Lady is a very clean-headed bitch, with beautiful 

 neck, good shoulders, well arched loin, but not wide enough 

 in same, she is better let down in hocks and shown in better 

 coat. Valley Queen is much the best in depth of chest, ribs 

 and thighs, but showed very poorly and carries her legs too 

 much under her. She is very hard to beat in head, neck, 

 shoulders, front and body. Cleverness, third, is a beautiful 

 headed bitch, with good loin and back, w^ell bent and good 

 in hocks. A very neat bitch. Lady Olga, reserve, is a good 

 all round bitch, beaten but slightly by Cleverness. Maid of 

 the Valley, vhc, is good, but short in couplings. Lillie W., 

 vhc, is a fair bitch, but suckling puppies and out of form. 

 Stamboul, flr.st in dog puppies, beat Extra Pale, second, in 

 stifles and shoulders, but has a broken toe on one of his 

 hindfeet, which certainly will not improve his running 

 Eureka, first in bitch puppies, is a very promising bitch, she 

 has good length of head, fair skull and promising jaw, car- 

 ries her ears poorly, but is good in legs, feet, shoulders, ribs, 

 loin and back. Stamboul Queen, second, is a nice brindle, a 

 bit weak in jaw, overshot, but otherwise good. Yreka, third, 

 has a good head and neck, but not as good as Eureka in 

 muzzle and flat in loin. 



Deerhounds,— Stag, first in open dog class, is of good 

 type, but is a wretchedly bad mover and should have been 

 placed lower on that account. A deerhound that cann ot run 

 is of but little value. Leo, second, is of good type, has a 

 very promising jaw, good shoulders and moves well, but is 

 slightly oft" in one knee. Scott, third, we preferred more for 

 premier honors; he is good in skull, muzzle, neck, shoulders, 

 body, limbs and coat, and a good, free mover. Lance, 

 reserve, is weak in jaw, small and straight in stifles. Las- 

 sie, first in open bitches, is the best deerhound in the show, 

 a very good type. Lufra, vhc, is only fair. Other prizes 

 withheld. 



Foxhounds.— Paddy, flr.st in open dogs, has now won his 

 third first in San Francisco; his excellent ears and charac- 

 ter, combined with general all-round excellence, placed him 

 in the front rank His best competitor, C&vlo, given second 

 place, is equal to the winner in muzzle and body, but is not 

 as good in feet, pasterns and skull. Jack, third, it short in 

 ears and light in thighs, otherwise good. Rover, reserve, is 

 in poor condition, a little straight behind and too long 

 coupled. Commander, vhc, is a good type of hound, but 

 too prominent just over the eyes and slightly wrong in pas- 

 terns. Prince, vhc, is light in muzzle. Julie, first in 

 bitches, is a good all-round bitch, rightly placed. 



Landlord aud Laundress, first in English foxhound dog 

 class and first in bitches are two quite typical hounds. 

 Laundress afterward won the special for best foxhound in 

 the show. 



Bloodhounds. — Premier IV., the only entry in blood- 

 hounds is a fair hound, but too long and leggy, lacking in 

 wrinkle and dome of skull. 



Criticism of the remaining cla,sse3 received too late for this 

 issue. 



Flaps from the Beaver's Tail. 



Toronto, Can.— Mr. W. M. Andrews, transportation agent 

 for the Dominion Government, is about to send out circulars 

 to exhibitors of dogs at the World's Fair, and a compliance 

 with the regulations expressed therein is imperative. Mr. 

 Stewart has mailed a circular in connection with this, urging 

 exhibitors to attend to all the regulations necessary for 

 proper shij-iment. 



Mr. T. Mackay Robertson, Kingston, has, I hear, just re- 

 ceived from Wales a paii- of cockers which have done some 

 winning. No further particulars have reached me other 

 than they are "long and low," the dog a black and the bitch 

 a liver. 



Mr T. A. Carson, also of Kingston, has written Mr. Farrow 

 giving him a commission to buy a brace of Irish water span- 

 iels to add to his kennel of this breed. 



A meeting of the Canadian Fox-Terrier Club was held in 

 the rooms of the Granite Club on Saturday afternoon. Presi- 

 dent A. D. Stewart in the chair. The specials of the club 

 will be oft'ered this year at Toronto. It is expected that the 

 association will offer as much money as is put up for the 

 larger breeds, and that sexes will be divided in all classes, 

 including puppy and novice, and the smooth and wire-hair 

 divisions separate in all cases. The club will also submit the 

 names of three club judges for the con.sideration of the com- 

 mittee. Since last meeting the following specials have been 

 offered: Silver cup by Mr. J. E. Thayer, souvenir breastpin 

 by Mr. G. W. Price and §10 cash by Mr. Robert Davies, 

 Toronto. 



The BowmanvUle St. Bernard kennels have closed with a 

 breeder in England for a good rough-coated stud dog, which 

 is to be shipped at once. He was bred by Mr. Norris-Elye, is 

 three years old and the sire of several winners. 



Messrs. Saunders & Mighton, Harriston, who imported a 

 feAv good collies last year, are getting over another, the rich 

 sable and white bitch Invercauld Beauty, by Langley (cham- 

 pion Wolf— Hazel), out of Invercauld Sable Queen (dladdie— 

 Bazaar Lassie). He was placed third at Dundee last year is 

 two years old and was bred by Mr. Thow, Jr., Craithie 

 Scotland. ' 



Mr. William Brodie has formed a partnership with Mr 

 Charles Wyndon of this city. 



I had a long business meeting to-day with Mr. Stewart in 

 connection with World's Fair business. Canadian entries 

 are now all quite ready to send in, but we are in a fog as ta 

 the classification. Correspondence as to this, even wuth Mr 

 Buchanan, is quite contradictory. All the hard work— and 

 it has been hard work— expended here in getting the Cana- 

 dian entry in shape in good time seems to have been expended 

 to no good purpose owing to the undecided state of things in 

 Chicago. For heaven's sake stick a pia in somebody.
