alone in bitches. In lorkshires the entries werepoor, Dixie, 

 light in tan and body color, beating a lighter one in Jacko. 

 Fanny, in bitches, is a little runt, no coat, etc., and very 

 light colored, Black and tan terriers had Broom field Sultan 

 in the challenge class, and Gypsey Girl won over Queen Ill.in 

 bitches, the la,rter being thrown out for skin disease; she was 

 out of coat, that Avas all, and was shown the week previously 

 at Kcw York. Boston Model represented the whippets again. 

 The well knowu Skipper and Mieke, getting thick, were the 

 Schipperke winners. In Italian greyhounds Tiunie had no 

 difBculty in beating Golden Rod and Lady Lee, one too big, 

 the other Lady, second, is faulty in head, nice size, smutty 

 color. 



Pu.GS (C. H. Mason, Judge).— Boh Ivy was again the chal- 

 lenge winner in dogs, and Midget took the bitch prize. In 

 open dogs, Medlar, a well-known winner, beat Tip Top, who 

 showed much better in the open. Little Jewel, reserve, has 

 gone off, wide front and weak behind: the others were poor. 

 A very poor lot came forward in bitches and prizes should 

 have been withht'ld. A nice little pup in Little Ruth won 

 well from Prince 111., long and coarse in head 



In King Charles .spaniels the well-known Duke of Welling- 

 ton, light in tan and curly ia coat, had to succumb to Dandy, 

 who 1.S only beaten in hind action, has better coat, better 

 stop and shorter face. The bitch was a very poor one, long- 

 faced and light throughout. Blenheim prizes withheld. 

 Two nondescript-looking bob-tails, one a "bob," the other 

 with a tail that would do credit to a mountain sheep, were 

 given equal first in heavy miscellaneous. These were a \ ery 

 poor sort, coats as soft as putty. The "Pom" Sheffield Lad 

 and Maurice Barrjmore's Clydesdale took equal first in the 

 bght-weight class. A Pekin poodle, so Pred Kirby said it 

 was, and her interesting family came next; Pekin spaniel 

 would be more the mark in nomenclature. She partakes 

 somewhat of a long-faced Jap in looks, long tail, ears, and 

 hair brindle in color. ;^H. W L.

New England Beagle Trials. 



Mb. W. S. Clarke writes us: "ISTo doubt your many 

 readers think the New England Beagle Club 'out of exist- 

 ence,' as they have heard nothing from it since the Boston 

 show, when the election of oflicers took place, but the club 

 is still alive. The officers are considerably scattered, and 

 therefore can't get together very often, still when they do 

 meet they dispose of considerable business." He then goes 

 on to say that a meeting of the executive committee was 

 held June 9, at 1 P. M., at 266 Washington street, Boston, 

 Mass., the following members being present; F. W. Chap- 

 man, H. S. Joslin, Henry Hanson and T\' . S. Clarke. Presi- 

 dent Chapman in the chair. Minutes of last meeting read 

 and approved. One new member was taken into the club, 

 namely, Mr. Thomas Shallcross, Providence, R. I. In re- 

 gard to the coming field trials it was voted to offer the fol- 

 lowing prize money in the various classes. In the All-Age 

 class, dogs and bitches, 15 to 13in., first prize, §75; second 

 prize, $.50; third prize, $25. In the All-Age class, dogs and 

 bitches, 13iu. and under, same money will be given. Entry 

 fee to the above cltisses ^'0 to nominate and s"7 ' .additional to 

 start. The nomination fee to be paid at the time of closing 

 of entries, the balance to be paid at the trials before starting 

 Entries close to the above classes Oct. 15. 



$3 to nominate and ^1 additional to start. Entries to the 

 above class close Sept. 1. Should this class have 20 or more 

 starters, it will be divided according to height same as the 

 All-Age class. In the champion class, dogs and bitches 15 

 to 13in. the entry fee is .¥15 and 80$g of the entry fee goes to 

 the winner. Entries close for this class after the All-4.o-e 

 class has been run. Dogs and bitches are eligible to this 

 class that win first at these trials in the All- Age stake or 

 that have won first at any recognized beagle field trials', in 

 the All-Age class. Champion class 13in. and under con- 

 ditions same as above. A class was provided for Bassett 

 hounds. Entry fee to be S3 to nominate and -S? additional to 

 start; 50^ of entry fee to go to winner of first. 35'"^ to go to 

 winner of second, and 15fi to winner of third. Entries close 

 in this class Oct. L5. It was voted to hold the trials Nov G 

 and every day after till completed. In case there are I'e.ss 

 than 10 starters in the open classes the prize money will be 

 given on the percentage plan, namely; 50'^ of entry fee to 

 winner of first, 25j? of entry fee to winner of second,"and 15<>^ 

 of entry fee to winner of third. ' 



The place for the trials has not yet been fully decided on 

 but the committee have several first-class places in view' 

 and wish to hold them where 117 will be the easiest of access 

 to all concerned, and where good accommodations can be 

 had at reasonable terms. The place will without doubt be 

 decided on at the next meeting. The secretary was author- 

 ized to correspond with the different judges in regard to 

 terms, these to be .selected at the next meeting, if possible 

 Also to make mquiries through the sporting press if any one 

 can give information in regard to a suitable place (in the 

 New England States) where the trials could be held The

The Open Air Show. 



That open air shows at this time of year will become popu- 

 lar is rather doubtful. Any one who saw the state of the 

 poor dogs owing to the heat the flr.st day at Wissabickon 

 would veto stich a show at once. In a tent such a show 

 would certainly have meant death to a number of the dogs. 

 Another important matter to be considered is the fact that 

 at an open air show the ground where the show is held will 

 more than probably be some distance from a center of popti- 

 lation— a suburb or some ,such, for the majority of people, 

 out of the way place. This was the case ab Wissa,liickoii. 

 Held in connection with the horse show, as it probably will 

 be another time, .succe.ss would be assured at once. This is 

 the way most of the successful outdoor shows are held in 

 England— in connection yvith agricultural meetings. That 

 the Wissabickon show was not better attended is much bo be 

 regretted. Another disturbing element in summer shows is 

 the question of safe traveling. Geo. Bell's accident might 

 perhaps have been avoided had he not pnt thirteen dog.s in a 

 crate, though it was amply v^entilated. The box was locked 

 up from Saturday afternoon till Monday afternoon through 

 some misunderstanding, the Pet Dog people shipping the 

 dogs to Philadelphia vidthout orders. The wonder is that 

 more were not suffocated. If . dogs are shipped this weather 

 the crates should be left open so that the expressmen can 

 water the dogs whenever they choose. 



Those who were enabled to attend the Wissabickon show 

 will not readily forget Dr. Sattveur's kindness and attention. 

 On judging day every one adjourned for Itmch to the Inn, 

 and here the Doctor dispensed hospitality in his usual open 

 manner. On Thursday yvhen judging was over the boys 

 were "kind of hanging around," when a large 'bus with a 

 four-in-hand was driven up, and on the Doctor's invitation 

 those present to the number of about twenty enjoyed a most 

 pleasant drive round Chestnut Hill, through the Wissa- 

 bickon Valley, alongside the river rendered famous by Feni- 

 more Cooper, to Indian Rock, where the last of the Mohi- 

 can's took his final plunge into eternity, then through Fair- 

 mount Park to the Ridge and back again. This drive is one 

 of the most beautiful that can be imagined and was fully 

 appreciated by those lucky enough to take part. Kirby 

 handled the horn, and though the latter reminded one rather 

 of Christmas times, still for a makeshift it served its pntpose 

 well and effectually drowned all competing chords. 



Dr. Sauveur, who lost Sir Frederick last week by death, 

 also had to bear the loss of a promising young collie he had 

 imported, Glenmarlin, by Border Sniff' out of Villi, an 

 almost white bitch. This dog succumbed to the heat on the 

 way to the show from his kennels. 



The judging of the Ashmont trophy was delayed till Fri- 

 day afternoon at the Wissabickon show. This prize is given 

 for the best in Mr. Mason's classes. The trophy is a rambler, 

 and though Tiree, the Scotch terrier, who has only one more 

 to score before winning it outright, was present, the report 

 got about early that his condition was not tiptop. To the 

 naked eye he appeared about as grand as ever and a little 

 better. It was not Tiree's day, and despite "Andy's" efforts, 

 which rattled the judge, and the clever way in which George 

 Thomas showed him, the collie champion The Squire walked 

 in a winner. That the latter should win the trophy this 

 time is peculiarly appropriate, as he lives within a block or 

 two, and no one will begrudge the honor, as he is a collie all 

 through, and we never saw him looking better. Welles- 

 bourne Charlie, who was a favorite in the betting, must be 

 content with his Boston win. Other specials awarded during 

 the show were the studded collar to Scottish Leader, of the 

 Swiss Mountain Kennels, as best St. Bernard of the show; 

 the cup for the best deerhound to S. F. Houston's Ellen 

 Douglas; cup for best beagle pup to Phil F. Bolay's Lady 

 Y^ernon, and the cup for best uncropped bull-terrier to L. S. 

 Green's Nitchie, Jr. 



Mr. Muss-Arnolt sends us a copv of a letter addressed by 

 him to Acting President John S. Wise, of the Pointer Club, 

 in ^v'hich letter he resigns from the executive committee of 

 the Pointer Club and from office of Pointer Club delegate to 

 the A. K. C. The reason given, he states to President Wise, 

 "is my inability to serve in harmony and self-respect with 

 you, its present presiding officer, on account of your refusal 

 to substantiate or apologize for the preposterous insult to all 

 delegates of every club, members of the A. K. C, i. e , 'that 

 every one had to do in the A. K. C. what its president 

 wanted, or had to get out.'" Mr. Muss-Aruolt goes on to 

 question the taste displayed by Mr. Wise in making such 

 a charge, while himself remaining a delegate. 



Death of Bull-Terrier Surefoot. 



We regret to hear that this well-known terrier was killed 

 by the electric cars in Albany, N. Y., June 7. He was a 

 well-known winner, bis principal wins being two firsts and 

 special at Crystal Palace, also prizes at Birmingham, Liver- 

 pool, 1----^- - > ^. , . ... _ 



We learn that Mr. Malloy won the .spaniel Glen with 

 chance ^*o. i) m the raffle at the Pet Dog show. 



cotmtry f _ ^ ..„.,^ 



mgton during the last circuit. " Surefoot was imported"by 

 Mr. T. S. Bellin and sold to Mr. Keeler. Last month at th& 

 New Brighton (Eng.) show the second and third prize win- 

 ners in puppy class are by Surefoot and are expected to do 

 a lot of winning in the light-weight classes. 



The committee of the N. E. Beagle Club would be pleased 

 to hear from any one that can give them any information in 

 regard to suitable grounds to hold their fiVst field trial on 

 Nov. 6 next. The grounds must be in New England and 

 .should be ha;ndy to good hotel accommodations; rabbits 

 should be fairly plenty, and grounds so situated that the 

 dogs can be seen by the judges the greater part of the time 

 Any information will be gladly received by W. S. Clark 

 Secretary-Treasurer, Linden, Mass. ' 



The Clifton Kennels are coming bo the front again. Mr. 

 J. H. Phelan's son Alfred C. has started in very well for a 

 beginner, he has sold a fox-terrier pup by Checho out of 

 Nellie, to Dr. Miller, Red Star Line, to go to England, and has 

 bred his Graphic bitch on June 8 to Mr. Chas Heath's 

 Arthur. If he will show his dogs in as good condition as 

 did his well known Pater he will no doubt win prizes. 



Death of Champion Twinkle. 



We are indeed sorry to hear of the death of one of the 

 most typical beagles we had. champion Twinkle (5,4M) died 

 June (j. She whelped Saturday, .June 3, six puppies, the 

 finest litter siace Mr. Zirnmer owned her, by his Rans'ack 

 The puppies all appear healthy and strong, and as he had a 

 bitch whelp Jtme 1, he gave her three of them. He is feeding 

 the others by hand. Myrtle the Mouse was due on June T 

 and he depended on her to help with the orphans. Mr Zirn- 

 mer writes: "Although Twinkle was getting old still it 

 made us feel .sick at heart to bury the grand old bitch. " 



Connecticut Dog Law. 



The following law will go into effect on July 1 1893-
