FOREST AND STREAM. 



[July 32, 1893. 



hold the show the week before Toronto, and they are there- 

 fore pretty snre of a good entry. This, however, will avail 

 them nothing if their fellow-townspeople do not evince a 

 little livelier interest in their efforts than hitherto. At » 

 meeting held July 10, the officers elected were: C. H. Corbett, 

 President; W. C. Darby, First Vice-President; T. A. Carson, 

 Second Vice-President; H. C. Bates, Secretary-Treasurer. 

 The dog show committee was formed with the above officers 

 and J. B. Walkem, Dr. Clark, Carl T. Ford, A. E, M. Los- 

 combe and John P. Oram, 



Canadian Kennel Club Meeting. 



An executive meeting of the Canadian Kennel Club was 

 held on Thursday last at the Queen's Hotel, Toronto. Dr. 

 Wesley Mills, the president, was in the chair; others present 

 were J. G. Michener, H, Bedlington, Dr. Niven and H. B. 

 Donovan, secretary. Several important questions came up 

 for discussion. One was the recent action of the A. K. C. in 

 abrogating the reciprocal relations hitherto existing between 

 the two clubs. The subject was earnestly considered and 

 resolutions finally drawn up and -the secretary instructed to 

 forward them to the A. K. C. These resolutions point out 

 the trouble which will ensue in discontinuing the old rela- 

 tions; extra expense and annoyance to exhibitors and the 

 necessity of registration with both clubs; the encouragement 

 it will give to dishonesty in dog show matters, owing to the 

 nullifying effect of disqualification by either club, etc. 



It was decided to reopen the entry list and again choose 200 

 dogs for the Canadian exhibit at the World's"^ Pair. Mr. A. 

 D. Stewart having resigned the position of superintendent, 

 another one will have to be elected, and two candidates are 

 now in the field— Mr. J. G. Michener, of Toronto, and Alfred 

 Geddes, of Ottawa. A mail vote of the members of the C. K. 

 C. will be taken to decide who shall be elected. It was set- 

 tled that Messrs. Michener, Stone and Donovan shall pass on 

 the new entries. A charge of $1 is now to be made for each 

 dog to cover the cost of certificate and other incidental ex- 

 penses. Entries to close Aug. 15. If the Government grant 

 of $300 still holds good, exhibitors will be be apt to kick at 

 this; or was the original grant expended in preparing for the 

 June date? The constitution and rules of the C. K. C. came 

 In for a good deal of attention, and the committee was hard 

 at work until a late hour. Among other matters it was 

 moved by Mr. Bedlington, seconded by Dr, Mven, that rule 

 8 in the proposed constitution be amended as follows: The 

 annual dues shall be $2, payable in advance and afterward 

 on Sept. 1 of each year, members shall be entitled to register 

 five dogs each year; for all over this number a fee of 50 cents 

 shall be charged. Non-members shall be charged $1 per dog 

 for registering and 50 cents for listing. A list of names of 

 members in good standing was ordered to be printed in 

 August Oazette. 



"No Plug Shooters These!" 



We give this week the portraits of four noted handlers at 

 our field trials. They are all known as "high class" men. 

 These are the men who by kindness and proper methods of 

 training do so much to make field trials popular; and while 

 we have such men in the business, owners of valuable dogs 

 need not be afraid that "McLinism" will become rampant. 

 Mx. Tucker is well known as the man who piloted Mr. Pierre 

 Lorillard, Jr.'s dogs to victory in so many important stakes 

 last fall, and is one of the oldest hands at the business. Mr. 

 Simon C. Bradley, the "dwarf," is as big in heart as he is in 

 stature, and is a general favorite. His name is identified 

 with Rowdy Rod, the late Harry C. and other good perform- 

 ers. Mr. J. M. Avent is known to every one, and has turned 

 out more high-class performers than probably any other man 

 in the business. He is now in partnership with that all- 

 round sportsman, Bayard Thayer. Mr. D. B. Rose is a typi- 

 cal Southerner, but that he does not indulge much in the 

 dolce far niente is proved by the way in which he prepares 

 his dogs. The Blue Ridge Kennels are fortunate in having 

 first call on his services. His victorious season in 1S91 with 

 Wun Lung, Hope's Mark and Bob Cooper will long be 

 remembered. His dogs like him, too. Thepicture was taken 

 at the Central Field Trials last year. 



The Show at Cranston, R. I. 



The building that has been made for the dog show on the 

 Rhode Lsland State Fair Grounds, by inclosing the cattle 

 sheds with a monitor roof, will accommodate 600 dogs, and 

 the benching will be made from cedar boards. There is an- 

 other building running parallel with it and the space be- 

 tween aflrords an alley-way 25ft. wide, in this the judging 

 and exercising rings will be placed and judging done thei*e, 

 weather permitting, if not, rings will be' set apart in the dog 

 building. Messrs. Morti mer and Davidson have both signi- 

 fied their intention of carrying out their promise to judge 

 there, the latter writing to the management, said: "I have 

 been asked to judge at the Rhode Island show in September 

 and I intend to do my part and with good health attending 

 me will be on hand bright and early" — as usual, we may 

 add. It is probable that Mr. A. H. Wakefield will be asked 

 to take the hounds and beagles, and those who remember 

 Mr. Wakefield in the palmy days of Little Duke and others 

 in this successful kennel should, if he judges, flatter him 

 with a bumper entry. Boston terriei-s will also probably 

 have a special judge. 



Dogs Poisoned. 



Mrs. A. Grinnell, of Greenpoint, L. I., who showed three 

 second prize winners at the late Pet Dog Club show, is in 

 ■sore trouble over the loss of four of her Mexican hairless 

 dogs; Pedro, also second, New York, 1887, Beauty and Dandy 

 are three that were shown. The death list also includes a 

 deerhound. On Sunday, July 9, Mrs. Grinnell took her dogs 

 out for a stroll, and passing a neighbor's house the dogs were 

 seen to pick up some meat. Shortly after they died", show- 

 ing every evidence of poisoning. Mrs. GrinneH returned to 

 the place where she saw the dogs feeding and picked up a 

 piece of meat, which, upon examination was found to be 

 covered with strychnine. Mrs. Giinnell had some trouble 

 with her neighbor and this person was heard to say that he 

 would poison the dogs. The matter will be brought to the 

 attention of the S. P. C. A. 



Otter Hounds for America. 



When we were at Mr. E. Brooks's place at Hyde Park, 

 Mass., last winter, he mentioned the fact that he intended 

 getting a brace of otter hounds over from England. Now 

 we hear that Spratts Company imported a brace for him per 

 S.S. Europe. In the country back of Mr. Brooks's place, 

 toward the Blue Mountains, otter have been seen in the 

 streams, and Mr. Brooks will doubtless enjoy a novel, to this 

 country, and very exciting sport this summer, as the Dandies 

 wHl probably be drafted in to make up a scratch pack. 



Important. 



Now that Forest and Stream comes out on Wednesday 

 instead of Thursday we ask our friends and readers to bear 

 this fact in mind and send ia all news of their kennels, ad- 

 vertisements, &c. by Monday at the latest, to insure inser- 

 tion in the current issue. We go to press on Tuesday after- 

 noon. 



Toronto Show. 



Among the specials oflrered at the coming Ttflifdiito show 

 we find that Mr. A. W. Smith helps the black and -tan cause 

 along by donating $5 each for best dog and bitch. The 



Pomter Club of America offers .$10 each for best dog and 

 bitch owned by a member of the club; also §10 each for best 

 dog and bitch in open classes. The Toronto Silver Plate Co. 

 give a trophy valued at $25 for the best cocker owned in To- 

 ronto. Mr. Geo. Bell gives $50 for the best spaniel sired by 

 one of his stud dogs. The Canadian Fox-Terrier Club's 

 specials, twelve in number, will also be competed for. 



Death of Champion Dryad. 



The celebrated bull bitch chatapion Dryad has followed 

 her whilom kennel mate British Monarch to the long rest. 

 Her dea+h is most unfortunate for Mr. Woodiwiss's kennel 

 interests, for besides being one of the most noted show 

 bitciies in England, having among other triumphs won the 

 Bulldog Club's fifty guinea challenge cup eight times, she 

 has proved herself an excellent matron. Among her progeny 

 that have won honors are Queen Rose, German Monarch and 

 Carrie, which we believe came over here. Dryad died in 

 whelping, British Pedro being the sire of the puppies. She 

 was by Don Pedro out of Ecrue. 



A Field Trial Club at Los Angeles, Cal. 



At a meeting recently held in Los Angeles, Cal., the 

 Southern California Field Trials Club was organized and 

 Jan. 1, 1894, was set as the date to hold the trials. The 

 officers are E. K. Benchley, Pres., and B. C. Hininan, Sec'y- 

 Treas. The judges are R. T. Vandevort, Pasadena; D. M. 

 Pyle, Bakersfield; J. C. Crenshaw, San Diego. The new 

 club starts with a membership of twenty-five and bids fair 

 to be a success. 



National Beagle Club. 



A quorum not being on hand at the proposed Beagle Club 

 quarterly meeting that was to have been held at M Broad- 

 way last Monday, Mr. Appleton moved the meeting adjourn, 

 and Mr. Schellhass, in the absence of the president, stated 

 that the meeting would be called for the same date on which 

 the field trial committee will be held, in about a fortnight. 

 Messrs. Schellhass, Appleton, Bateman, Tallman, Lewis and 

 Lacy were on hand. 



The Bulldog Walking Match. 

 The bulldog match between Dockleaf and King Orry, to 

 walk ten miles, has been made more interesting by the ad- 

 dition of Don Solano, owned by Mr. Ford, and Guido, belong- 

 ing to Jack Ellis. The match was to take place last Monday 

 night at 7 P. M., on a road in the suburbs of London. It 

 was expected that the distance would be covered in two 

 hours and a quarter, but this we should say is a rather san- 

 guine view of the work that may not be borne out by the 

 result. 



The Rhode Island Show. 



The premium list of the Rhode Island State Fair Associa- 

 tion's dog show was received too late to give it extended 

 notice this week. We find that St. Bernards, mastiffs, point- 

 ers and all setters get challenge classes with .S12 prizes, open 

 S12 and $6, puppies .$8 and $4. Other breeds SIO in challenge, 

 $10 and .$5 in open and .$6 and $3 in puppy classes. The clas- 

 sification seems liberal and the association offers .815 kennel 

 prizes in the important breeds. Entries close Sept. 4 Avith 

 the association at Cranston, R. I. Dr. F. G. Sherwood is the 

 "vet." 



Cribbage. 



It is definitely settled, Mr. H. W. Smith writes, that the 

 crack wire hair fox-terrier Cribbage is now his property, but 

 he will remain in England until a noted bitch, Surrey Janet, 

 that Mr. Smith has also purchased, is bred, and tliey will 

 come out together. 



An Appropriate Purchase. 



Lieut. Peary, before he left, secured one of E. H. Moore's 

 St. Bernards to be the special protector of Mrs. Peary, during 

 his expedition to solve the North Pole problem. ° 



Dog catchers in our large cities are more or less a necessary 

 pil, but when they exceed their authority, neither political 

 pulls not anything else should save them from just punish- 

 ment. We are pleased to see that the toughs who mal- 

 treated a woman in Williamsburg, N. Y., when she tried to 

 recover her dog after these fellows had stolen it from her 

 doorstep, got their deserts. One man will take a vacation 

 on the Island for ten days and another for twenty nine. 



One of the striking figures in the Russian palace at Gat- 

 schina is Peter, the large Danish hound, that stretches his 

 powerful form in the hall leading to the private apartments 

 of the Czar. This dog is said to be one of the largest of his 

 kind and was presented to the Czarioa some years ago by her 

 father, the King of Denmark. It is said that the Czar took 

 a liking to the animal from the first, and never goes any long 

 journey without him. 



One of our prominent dogmen when asked how he liked 

 Forest Akd Stream's change of publishing day, said: 

 "Good! but it upset my calculations altogether this week. 

 When the paper came before I knew it was Thursday and 

 always counted from that day, now I have another day's 

 work to put in before Sunday." 



Pterodactyl, the noted dachshund, that should have come 

 to this country and that Mr. Manice has been angling for 

 some time, is now an inmate of Mr. Sydney Woodiwiss's 

 kennels at Upminster, Essex. The price was $750. 



Mr. Pierpont Morgan's purchases in English colliedom 

 led to trouble over commission for sales that the Collie Club 

 claim as their due. The matter will shortly be settled by an 

 appeal to the courts. 



According to Sioorting Mirror, Mr. Hopton, who will have 

 charge of Mr. Gillmore's Kennels, will bring the bulldogs 

 Cameron and Reve from England. By-the-way, this reminds 

 us that several Englishmen have come over recently with 

 the idea of getting places as kennel managers. We might as 

 well say that the demand is not very brisk just now, there 

 are so few kennels that need the services of an expert. 



This j ournal also mentions a n ew habit among kenn el owners 

 of picking out a dog of a different variety for breeding pur- 

 poses and mentions an instance that has come under his 

 notice. The resulting litter of whatever breed, if fit for 

 show, may be registered and the keunel club has no means 

 of detecting the fraud, as they do not inquire into th^ ante- 

 cedents of sire and dam. He then goes on to say that a 

 certain kennel of St. Bernards had been greatly improved 

 by the introduction of mastiff blood, and for deepening and 

 shortening up the muzzle, securing the shadings, etc., the 

 excuse is evident and it would be interesting to know which 

 kennel had resorted to such means. We heard it said a year 

 or two ago whose mastiffs were used, but the St. Bernard 

 end of it has been well kept. 



The Pointer Club will meet at Mr. John S, Wise's office, 

 44 Broad street, New York, July 31, at 3 P. M. 



We learn that Mr. J. W. E. Clarke, the manager of 

 the Woodlawn Kennels, has resigned and that the kennel 

 will be dispersed. We sincerely hope this may not be the 

 case, especially in view of the important position the kennel 



now holds. The Hiltons, however, we understand, are pay- 

 ing more attention to the equine than to the canine part of 

 their establishment. 



Mr. Wixom has a pretty big farm at Covert, N. Y., but as 

 he cannot feed his beagles on fence rails and fresh air all the 

 time, he intends to clear out some of the 36 pups and 88 old 

 dogs that the Hornell-Harmonv Kennels now contain. 

 Among the recent additions to the kennel a litter of six 

 (three dogs) out of Velda (champion Royal Kraeger ex Baby 

 W.) by Sherry, is most welcome; the pups are laree and 

 strong, and. Mi-. Wixom says, the best marked ones he ever 

 bred. • 



We acknowledge the receipt of a very good photograph of 

 Mr. M. B. Draper's (Grand Rapids, Mich.) English setter Sir 

 Ranger on a point. 



The New York St. Bernard Kennels have not had very 

 notable good luck in their breeding operations hitherto, but 

 the lane has a turning at last. Miss Jerome, one of the 

 bitches Mr. Reick brought over with him from England a 

 month or two since, has whelped eight well-marked pups 

 (five dogs), by Duke of Maplecroft (Marvel— Princess Flor- 

 ence). The pups are doing well and are of good size. Mr. 

 Reick sailed for Europe again last Wednesday and will be 

 absent for a few weeks. It is not likely, however, that any 

 St. Bernard purchases will be made. 



Mr. William Alder, secretary of Spratts Patent in England, 

 IS dead. Mr. Alder has been identified with the company 

 since its inception about twenty-three years ago. 



Among the new "specials" this week we notice that G. O. 

 Smith offers some trained high class English setters; Joe 

 Lewis.trained English setter and pup, Thasmo Kennel, pointer 

 and other breeds; J. H. Lyke, St. Bernard pups, J. Feulner, 

 English setter pups, W. K. Purington, English setter pups 

 and pointer Kent; C. S. Wixom, some weirbred beagles; N. 

 Billings Gordon setter pups. In the stud, G. W. McNeil's 

 pointer Coronet.
