FOREST AND STREAM. 



[May 35, 1898. 



fougM tooth and nail by this present mana£;ement, as you call it, and 

 when I say the management, I do not mean the officers, but the 

 persons who have been governing the club — they have foiight over 

 every one of these questions; they have fought oU sorts of questions 

 with regard to the stud book; they have fought over questions con- 

 cerning these different shows; they have even fought over the ques- 

 tion of controlling the small shows. They have constantly tried to 

 cut the small shows loose from them because they were not worth at- 

 tending to, and the result of this system is that the single clubs are 

 more firmly in the grip of the Amei-ican Keimel Club and do not dare 

 to move out of it, and you mav say, if you please, that if anybody at- 

 tempted in Chicago to start a'new club to-day, that this club would 

 make it ridiculous in a year, no matter how much money they had. 

 They have not got the tustorv, they have not got the stud book and 

 they have nothing, and if you break this down you break down your 

 own club, and you w-iU never be able to bring it up again. It is not I, 

 it is not Mr. Vredenburgh, it is not Mr. Terry, but it is the principle, 

 and you can take every single man and wipe him out of this room and 

 the club is there, and you cannot remove it, and this new move is 

 nothing— and I am going to be personal— but the starting of a move- 

 ment by a gentleman who has never been satisfied with anything in 

 the club. He has never been satisfied, and the reason that this club is 

 a success is because we have refused constantly to shift and to 

 change. There have been all sorts of thiugs said against the person- 

 nel of this club and against its management, and the management 

 have had no defense because they have not gone around to make it, 

 nor are they aware of what defense they should make. They have 

 done notliing that 1 can see, exceptmg you might say they have acted 

 as a clique, and have not called so and so from the West, or so and so 

 from the South, or .so and so from the East. What great activity 

 has the West or the East taken in this matter from the very start? 

 They have done nothing, and a great deal of this so-called movement 

 is sectional jealousy. A gi'eat deal of it arises from the success of one 

 show as compared with another. When you begin to pull a structure 

 down you are doing a very dangerous thing. If you want to change 

 the management or the delegates you are not doing a dangerous thing 

 at all You can do that every day, you can do it twice a week, and it 

 won't make any difference. It it "would do any good to the American 

 Kennel Club for me to resign, I would be delighted to do so, if in doing 

 so I should not expose it to the danger of being pulled down as a 

 structure. I am not serving you, gentlemen, for any personal rea- 

 sons; lam serving you because I thought you wanted me to serve 

 you, and when I wanted to resign and I was asked not to, and in my 

 absence was unanimously elected, T supposed the dog men wanted me, 

 and if they do not want me they can say so. 



I am very much obhged to you, gentlemen, for your kind indulgence. 



Mb. Hbppner— I have been authorized hy these credentials to repre- 

 sent my club, and I understand, as a representative of that club, I am 

 to have the right to vote and express my opinion upon all questions 

 pending, and I believe that is what my club intends me to do in sending 

 me here. If I am here only to elect thirteen men to represent my club 

 for me, in other ,words, if I am only sent here to shoulder the resiJons- 

 ibiUty of selecting the parties to express the wishes of my club, or 

 represent its interests, then I would not want to be a representative of 

 the club, because no one knows what these thu'teen men may do. I 

 am re.spouFible for what I do for my club or anybody, but if I am 011I3' 

 here as a tool to bring about an organization whose ruUngs are final, 

 against which there are no appeals, I do not want to become such a 

 tool, and if this proposed amendment of the committee on rules is 

 adopted I shaU refuse to represent any club in the American Kennel 

 Club. 



Mr. Watson— In order to bring the matter before the club I will 

 move the adoption of the first section of Article V. 



Mr. Watson, ia answer to some of the statements that had been 

 made, said that the proposed amendments were gotten up in perfect 

 good faith, after consultation with members of the club who had its 

 best interests at heart. 



Mr. Cromwell moved that the vote be taken by roll-call. Seconded 

 and carried. 



Section 1, of Article V, was then read, as follows: "The management 

 of this association shall be intrusted to an executive committee con- 

 sisting of thirteen member, one of whom shall be the president of the 

 associate members; the remaining twelve members serving for thi-ee 

 yeai's, except that of the first committee elected ; four shall be chosen 

 by lot to go out at the end of the first j'ear and four at the end of the 

 second year (but to continue in office until their successors arc 

 elected), in order that four members of this committee shall be elected 

 at each annual meeting of the association. They shall, from among 

 their number, elect a president and vice-president, who shall serve for 

 a term of one year, and perform the duties as prescribed in the by- 

 laws and generally such duties as pertain to theu- office."' 



The motion being for the adoption of the resolution, the ayes are for, 

 and nays against. The vote resulted as follows: 



Ayes: Dr. Perry. Mi-. W. A. Power and Mr. Watson. 



Nays: Messrs. Wilmerding, Shotwell, Blossom, Schellhass, Brooks, 

 Morris, Cryer, Mortimer. Arnolt, Glover, Webster, Cromwell, Van 

 HumraeU, Heppner, Williams, Barnard, Bobbins, Loveland, Cornwall 

 and Greene. 



The motion was declared lost. 



Mr. Heppner— I move to reject ah the proposed amendments 

 to our constitution as published in the American Kennel Gazette. 



The President— If we reject the amendments as published in the 

 Gazette, that leaves the constitution as it was originally. 



Mr. Mortimer— I second the motion. 



The proposed new rules and regulations were adopted as published 

 in the Amen'ican Kennel Gazette with certain amendments. 



It was voted that the new rules shall go into effect on the first day 

 of July, 1893, but that the change shall not apply to any clubs whose 

 premium lists have been made out prior to that date.

The minutes of the last meeting were read and. on montion, ap-

 as follows: ' 



I have the honor to report the reception of the following appli- 

 cations for membership in this club since our last meeting- 

 March 27, 1893, Rhode Island State Fair Association of Cranston R 

 AprU (7, 1893, Saratoga Poultry and Kennel Club, of Saratoga Sprmgs" 

 N. Y. ; AprU 19, 1893, Danbury Agricultural Society, of Danbury Conn 

 These apphcations were all received in regular form and are eligible 

 for admission as members, as provided for in our constitution It is 

 but proper, however, that you should be advised that the appheation 

 of the Portland Kennel Club is protested by the Oregon Kennel Club 

 of Portland, Ore. Said protest will be submitted for your considera- 

 tion before action is takeu in the vote for admission for said club 



The application from the City of the Straits Kennel Club, wbich was 

 laid on the table at our last meeting, pending a report by a special 

 committee consisting ot Mossi s. Ricliards, Anthony and Watson, is 

 now before you. In the absence of a i-e]:)ort, from this committee your 

 secretary would say tliat Mr. Anthony entered into correspondence 

 with said club, also the Mielugai, Kennel Club, and Mr. John E, Long, 



i^^- ^'^'^ correspondence now on file in this office 



establishes the fact that the Mchigan Kennel Club has disbanded and 

 Mr. Long, who acted for the A. K. C in this matter, recommends the 

 aduussion of the City of the Straits Kennel Club. The Montana Ken- 

 nel Club, through its delegate, Mr. .Joseph P. Reed, asks to be dropped 

 from the roll of membership. 



Credentials have been filed from the following clubs ■ American 

 MastiiT, Duquesne Kennel Club, Mascoutah Kennel Club. St. Louis 

 Kennel Club, Seattle Kennel Club. The credentials of the Massachu- 

 setts Kennel Club appointing Mr. Robert Leslie as its delegate was re- 

 ferred at oiir last meeting to a special committee consisting of Messrs 

 Anthony, Richards and A\atson. audi beg to say that up to the writ- 

 sulfect ''^ '^'^"'^'^'^ committee upon the 



'^'""'I l-"'?fi2:es liave been filed and are referred to 

 you as per a late resolution tor your sanetioa before same can be

The Chicago Kennel Club, whose appheation was reiected at our 

 last meetmg, sent a communication on the subject of its rejection to 

 which I replied in very positive tej-ms. and T « onlci like to rpa?l thi« 

 correspondence and ask for your hidorsement of my vl% 



Mr. H. W. Huntmgton asks for a riilme- as to what Vonstitutes an 

 American-bred puppy, and states his eas> as foUows ftTA^A^de inf ° 

 chased a wolfhound bitch in England, and whfle his p ro. ertr shl v as 

 bred with orders to ship the bitch to New York as soon as l-ood 

 vice was assured, but not proving in whelp, she was held fot- am.t^mr 

 service and whelped before being'shipped to this country Mr Htm t 

 mgton wants to taiow it the puppies are American-bred I would 

 Sril'lf ^2«T^':.';l'°/>?'^ h ^-S- this subject at itlmeettog of 

 May 28, 1889. "A bitch owned in this country and sent to any fOTfign 



country to be bred and returned to this country to whelp, the progeny 

 shall be considered as American-bred." 



Mr. E. Bardoe Elhott appealed from the decision of the advisory 

 committee in his case against H. E. Twiford, under date of May 13. 

 1893, to whiohl repUed that the case had been reopened and reviewed 

 by said committee upon its own responsibility and decided that as 

 "redress at law is possible and no fraud was evident, this committee 

 dismisses the case." 



Your secretary regrets that Mr. Anthony has decided that it wUl be 

 impossible for him to continue to take any active part in the A. K. 0. 

 affairs, and has tendered his resignation as president of the associate 

 members, also as a delegate to this club and consequently his mem- 

 bersliip in the advisory committee. In the resignation of Mr. Anthony 

 as one of this body the club loses one of its most ardent and most 

 conscientious workers, and whose place it wiU indeed be hard to fill, 

 and your secretary behoves that this club wUl join with him in this 

 feeling, and that a proper vote of regret will be passed, thanking him 

 for past loyalty and efforts in its behalf. Upon the acceptance or Mr. 

 Anthony's resignation, the constitution (Art. XL, Sec. 6j provides 

 for the manner of electing his successor. Your secretary again urges 

 upon you the advisability of rescinding the agreement now in force 

 with the Canadian Kennel Club, there being no possible advantage to 

 this club in its continuance. A. P. Vredenbubgh, Secretary. 



The treasurer's report was read and jidopted as f oUows: I herewith 

 beg to submit my quarterly report of ah moneys received and dis- 

 bursed by me during the year 1893: 



Balance on hand Jan. 1, 1893 $5,004.20 



Receipts from all sources to date 3,568.25 



8,572.45 



Disbursements for same period 5,675.36 



Balance on hand $3,897.09 



I also report the following clubs in arrears, final bills having been 

 mailed to them: Western Michigan Agricultural and Industrial Asso- 

 ciation, Hermitage Kennel Club, Tri-City Kennel Club, American Fox- 

 Terrier Club, Wisconsin Kennel Club, South Carolina Kennel Club, 

 Montana Kennel Club, California Kennel Club, Delaware and Susque- 

 hanna Association, New York and New England Poultry and Kennel 

 Club, Freeport Poultry and Pet Stock Association. "A resolution 

 passed at the last meeting orders these clubs dropped from the roll at 

 tliis meeting if the dues have not been paid at that time. 



A. P. Vredenbubgh, Treasurer. 



Mr. Watson, of the stud book committee, reported that they had 

 only one matter before it, which was held in abeyance awaiting the 

 receipt of correspondence in regard to the matter. 



The secretary read the report of the advisory committee as follows: 



Meeting of the advisory committee held Monday, March 27, 1893. 

 Present, Messrs. August Belmont, Thomas H. Terry, W. C. Eeick and 

 Dr. J. Frank Pei-ry. The following matters were referred to the com- 

 mittee and acted upon as follows: 



Cleveland Kennel Club vs. English Setter Club.— Be non-payment 

 of specials at the Cleveland show of 1891. Besolved, That the English 

 Setter Club be and is hei-eby granted thirty days to forward the med- 

 als offered as special prizes at the Cleveland bench show of '91 to said 

 club for distribution to the winners of same. 



Dr. Wm. F. Kenney vs. R. I, Poultry Association.— fle .appeal. Or- 

 dered that the Rhode Island Poultry Association be mstructed to fur- 

 nish sworn affidavits from T. H. Adams, R. G. Davis, and H. S. Bab- 

 cock, president of the association, as to their conduct in the matter 

 and of the question at issue, also that Wm. F. Kennev be directed to 

 verify his statements with sworn affidavits of witnesses as to the al- 

 leged conversation with the president of the association. 



Mrs. 51. V. Eberhart.— i?e appeal from the tUsqualffication of Eber- 

 hart Pug Kennels. Resolved, That the committee cannot find grounds 

 for removing the disquaUfl cation of the Eberhart Pug Kennels, audit 

 is the sense of this committee that the kennel and its owner is respon- 

 sible for all acts of its agents, and it is admitted by said Mrs. Eberhart 

 that A. G. Eberhart was and is the agent of said Eberhart Pug Ken- 

 nels. The appeal is therefore dismissed. 



E. Bardoe Elliott vs. H. E. Twiford,— fle misconduct in connection 

 with dogs. Permission having been given to the principals in this ac- 

 tion for the reopening of the case, the committee finds as follows: 

 Whereas, redress at law is possible, and no fraud was evident, this 

 committee dismisses the case. 



The communication from the American Spaniel Club was referred 

 back to the Spaniel Club with the recommendation that said club 

 should lay the matter before the Canadian Kennel dub for its action 

 in the case. A request of the Soeifite Canine Frangaise for an ex- 

 change of stud books was submitted and the secretarj' was directed to 

 make the exchange. 



The following prefixes are hereby allowed: Pytchlej', to H W 

 Fores. Alameda. Cal. ; Belle Isle, to Ann M. Griffin, Detroit, Mich ; 

 Avendale, to T. W. Clelland, McAlhster, Indian Territory. Adjourned. 



A. P. Vredenbubgh, Secretary. 



On motion the report was adopted. 



On motion the regular order of business was suspended in order to 

 enable Dr. J. Frank Perry to offer the foUowing resolution: 



Resolved, That one meeting of the American Kennel Club executive 

 committee be hereafter held each year in Chicago, 111. 



Dr.. Pbrrt— The purpose of this is very easy to see. It is one of the 

 means that I should suggest to quiet any feeling that might exist. Of 

 course it is rather a difficult thmg to do. The office is here but I 

 thinlv it worth while to make the effort. The Western people are 

 somewhat different from the Easterners. They are more sectional 

 and provincial, and if you pass this I'esolution it will give them a 

 sense of representation that the^ do not have nnvr. I hnuestly believe 

 that there is nothing the American Kennel Club can do which will 

 tend more to aUay that feeling than this. Let us arrange in some 

 wa.y to have one meeting there if possible. I cannot urge you too 

 strongly t-o accept tliis resolution. 



Mr. Brooks— I second the resolution. 



The President— It would be necessarj' to have some presiding 

 officer there. Mr. Terry is not here, and we do not know whether he 

 could go. Mr. Vredenburgh has stated that he could not attend there, 

 and I do not know whether I could go or not. This matter has not 

 been discussed very much. It might be better to resolve that the 

 September meetmg will be held there. That will prove the experi- 

 ment, and it being the time of the World's Fair, perhaps the members 

 would go there for that purpose. 



Dr. Van Hummel spoke in favor of the resolution, stating that it 

 woidd do no harm to ti-y it, and that the effort was well worth mak 

 ing. The resolution was put to vote and resulted in being passed by a 

 vote of 10 to 7. 



The following clubs were elected members of the American Kennel 

 Club: Rhode Island State Fair Association, Saratoga Poultry and 

 Kennel Association, Danbury Agricultural Society, City of the Straits 

 Kenuel Club. 



The appheation of the Portland Kennel Club was met by a protest 

 from the Oregon Kennel Club, which latter club also made applica- 

 tion for admission into the A. K. C, but at a subsequent date to that 

 of the Portland Kennel Club. 



Mr. Morris— I move that the application of the Portland Kennel 

 Club be laid on the table and the secretary directed to ascertain the 

 facts of the case. Seconded and carried. 



The prefix "Rochdale" apphed for by Mr. Andrew B. Cobb was on 

 motion granted; also the prefix claimed by 3Ir. James D. Shotwell 

 "Orange." ' 



The resignation of Mr. J. L. Anthony as president of the associate 

 members and as a delegate of the club was read. 



Mr. Schellhass— I move that Mr. Anthony's resignation be ac- 

 cepted with regret, and that he be informed that his resignation has 

 been so accepted. Motion seconded and carried. 



The President- It would seem propei- for a membei- who has served 

 so long in official capacity that suitable resolutions be prepared by a 

 committee, which can be appointed and that a copy may be sent' to 

 him. 



Mr. Schellhass— I move that the president appoint such a commit- 

 tee to draw the resolutions. Motion seconded and carried. 



Dr. Perry ofi'ered the following resolution: Resolved, that the com- 

 pact between this club and the Canadian Kennel Club is hereby cUs- 

 continued. '' 



It was moved and seconded that all disquahflcations of members of 

 the Canadian Kennel Club be now removed so far as this club is con- 

 cerned. Carried. 



Tee secretary reported that President..Belmont had sent in a c'om- 

 inunieation asking tLie Amerlean Kennel Club to adjudicate on a point 

 at issue between the New England Kennel Club on the one hand and 

 himself as an exhibitor on the other. Mr. Brooks, of the New England 

 Kennel Club, handed ra a statement of the matter from the standrjomt 

 of his club. ' 



Mr. Belmont resigned the chair to Mr. Vredenburgh. The facts, as 

 cJamied by Mr. Belmont, were as follows: Desiring to enter some of 

 his dogs m certain classes at the show given by the New England Ken- 

 nel (Jhib not bejng m possession of a copy of their premium list, he 

 sent his kennel man to the Hempstead post office to mail a letter cou- 

 tainmg his entries on Saturday evening, March 18. to the Xpn\- England 

 Kennel Club, the letter also containing his check for the aniouut 

 ot the entrance fee. Subsequently, on the next dar. Sunday the 19th 

 tor certain reasons desiring to withdi-aw those entries, and knowing 

 that his letter containing the euti-ies could not arrive at its destination 

 betore Monday, he telegraphed to the New England Club, withdraw- 

 mg his entries, and asking that they be returned to him, his telegram 

 reaching there on bunday before the receipt of the letter containinfr 

 the entries, clamimg that he had a perfect right to withdraw them be- 

 fore they were received by the club. That no contract was made, as 

 the mmds ot the parties had not met and no harm cotild come to the 



club giving the show, as they had not received his entries before the 

 receipt of his telegram. 



The position taken by the New England Kennel Club was that their 

 entries closed on Saturday, the 18th of March. That the letter con- 

 taining the entries had beeii directed to the club, had been delivered to 

 the United States for Jehvery, and that the letter and its contents be- 

 longed to the club addressed and refused to return the entries or the 

 check, claiming that Mr. Belmont had no right to withdi-aw the en- 

 tries after having deposited them in the post office in good faith. 



Considerable discussion followed concerning theresi)ective positions 

 and claims taken by both sides, and resulted in the following being 

 offered by Mr. Schellhass: 



Tliai whereas, The entries were illegal according to the rules of the 

 .■American Kennel Club, the claim of the New England Kennel Club be 

 not allowed, and the check for said entries be returned toHr. Belmont. 

 Seconded and carried. 



Adjom-ned. 



Eastern Field Trial Club Derby Entries. 



The entries for the Derby closed May 1. The total number 

 of entries received is 45— English setters 36, pointers 8, Irish 

 setter 1. All whelped in 1893:
