6'5 and diploma, except fox-terriers, which have a third prize 

 of -SS. Pointers, all setters and collies get ^10 and diploma in 

 challenge and $15, ^?7, $3 and diploma in open classes. 

 Spaniels, always a great feature of this show, are pro- 

 vided -with classification No. 1 of the A. S. C. Iield 

 spaniels have in challenge SIO and diploma, open classes §10, 

 $5, S.3 and di))loma. Cockers get the same in challenge but 

 SIO, S7, .■>3 and diploma in the open classes. Most of the re- 

 maining breeds get 85 challenge prizes and $7, .§3 and diploma 

 in the open. Kennel prizes are given by the association for best 

 Ivennels, ranging from.S20 to §10, and by a number of specialty 

 clubs, notably the Greyhound, Pointer, Spaniel and Fox- 

 lerrier cluVjs. The association also offers other inducements 

 such as -^30 to the agent or person having the largest number 

 >i{ entries in bis charge, and -§20 to the one having second 

 largest team. The largest Canadian entry in charge of one 

 exhibitor or agent gets SIO, and the association offers its 

 medal, val ue -SSO, to the owner or kennel showing the largest 

 number of dogs at the show. The rates and pri\'ileges on 

 the railroads we liave already drawn attention to. American 

 exhibitors sending dogs by express must fill out a certificate 

 that clears the customs, the dogs going in on bond of the 

 Association. All dogs from this side must now be listed in 

 the C. K. C, and this costs SOcts. a dog. The regular entry 

 fee is $2, and entries must be sent in by Aug. 31, to Mr. C. A. 

 Stone, 82 King st., Toronto. The judges are: C. H. Mason, 

 Philadelphia, Pa.: Mastiff's, St. Bernards, great Danes, 

 Newfoundlands, greyhounds, bulldogs, bull-terriers, fox- 

 terriers, collies, poodles, Scotch terriers, black and tan ter- 

 riers, pugs, King Charles, Blenheims, Prince Charles, ruby 

 and Japanese spaniels, and the miscellaneous and selling 

 classes. .John Davidson, Monroe, Mich.: Pointers, English, 

 Irish and Gordon setters, bloodhounds, Irish terriers, Dandie 

 Dinmont terriers, Bedlington terriers, Airedale terriers, Skve 

 terriers, Yorkshire terriers, toy terriers and Italian grey- 

 hounds. A. Clinton Wilmerding, New York city: Irish 

 water spaniels. Clumber spaniels, field and cocker spaniels, 

 retrievers. A. C. Krueger, Wrightsville, Pa.: Beagles, Eng- 

 lish and American foxhounds, harriei-s, Scotch staghounds, 

 wolfhotULds and dachshunds. 



Pacific Coursing Club. 



The Pacific Coursing Club is probably the largest coursing 

 club in the world, as it boasts upward of 7 00 active members, 

 which is expected to be materially increased this season. 

 They have sent a challenge to Australia to course 16 dogs 

 against those of the antipodes, and expect an answer every 

 mail. In the event of an acceptance arrangements have been 

 made, it is said, to distribute §3,000 in prizes. The club held 

 a meeting July 6 and elected the following officers: Presi- 

 dent, Henry Hull; Vice-President, P. D. Nolan; Second Yice- 

 1 'resident, J. Dean; Treasurer, M. W. Kerrigan: Secretary, 

 .lames W. Darragh; Executive Committee, P. E. Canavan, 

 O. W. Lewis, J. Cranston, P. Ryan, J. McCracken and Dan 

 Toland. 



Wolves and Coyotes in Montana. 



Mr, W. P. Turner, of lAicille, Mont., is doing good work 

 for the cattlemen in his district. He is a ranch owner him- 

 self and has a team of greyhounds and deerhounds, and with 

 them he is perceptibly diminishing the wolves and coyotes 

 that infest the Marias range. P^eceutly he had 22 wolf and 

 171 coyote skins punched, and iJiis represents the work of 

 his dogs so far this year. While there are hundi-eds of these 

 pests left yet, the cattlemen are gainers by Mr. Turner's 

 activity in this direction, and the effect will be apparent in 

 an increased calf crop hereafter. 



Death of Donald. 

 The well-known St. Bernard Donald, owned by Miss H, E. 

 Cushman, Franklin Park, near New Brunswick. N. J., has 

 joined the great majority. The cause of death is not known. 

 Donald was an immense dog, and was one of those dogs that 

 really did touch the beam at 35in. or a little more, and 

 weighed over SOOlbs. His last appearance was at New York 

 in 1S92, when he won second to Sir Bedivere, beating Lord 

 Melrose. His size was his chief attraction, for he was defi- 

 cient in St. Bernard type and character. He was imported 

 about 1890, and was over five years old. A dispatch states 

 that a funeral service will be held over the dog when he is 

 buried. 



Bull-Terriers Change Owners. 

 Mr, Chas. L. Symonds has purchased from Mr. H. A. 

 Harris, North Wilmington, Mass., the well-known bull- 

 terriers Prince Gully and Mermaid, and they will be in- 

 cluded in the coming sale of the Anglo-American Kennels. 

 Mermaid is now in whelp to White Wonder and the union 

 of these cwogcjod ones should prove exceptionally happv in 

 its result. Prince GuUy and Mermaid, it will "be remem- 

 bered, were brought over in the early spring, having been 

 purchased in England by Mr. Raper. 



Death of Honor Bright. 



We are sorry to hear of the death of such a good grey- 

 hound as Honor Bright, and so soon after his advent to this 

 country. He was run over on the railroad. Honor Bright 

 was imported by Messrs. Toon & Symonds before New York 

 show, this year, and won first and special for best in the show 

 under Mr. Raper. Then he was purchased at that show by 

 Mr. H. Nelson, owner of the Maybrook Kennels, who showed 

 him at Boston, winning first again. He was bred by Mr, 

 Skinner, whelped in August, 1890, and was by Stripes of 

 Honor otit of Beatrice. 



McLin Prosecution Fund. 



We trust that all field trial men, especially, although the 

 cause appeals to all (lofj; lo\ ei s, will help the Bicknell sports- 

 men, Messr.s. Mayuehl and I'reeman, in their efforts to put 

 McLin where he ju.si 1 y desoi N ks to be. Two hundred dollars 

 should be easily raised by those who wish to see such men 

 made deterreiu. examples of. Further pai-ticulars of this 

 Ijrutal affair are luuud in "Points and Flushes." 



Transfer of Pet Dogs. 



The King Charles spaniel Royal Roy, a winner of several 

 prizes in America, and who was imported from Mrs. Forder's 

 kennel, with his mate Twinkle, has been purchased fi-om 

 Mr. August Knoblauch by Mr. K. H. Morris, who has the 

 Union Pet Dog Kennel, at Hackensack, N. ,7. We understand 

 that Roy will in future be exhibited as Union Roy, taking 

 Mr. Morris's kennel prefix. 



N. E. F. T. Club's Trials Off. 



It is a most regrettable fact that the New England Field 

 Trial Club will not hold their trials i his fall. The abandon- 

 ment of the event will be a great disappointment to a large 

 number of New England sportsmen whose dogs have been 

 undergoing preparation. Mr. Lovering, the secretary, writes 

 tis that the club needs a little more tiine to turn itself and 

 then wiU put forth every effort for 1891:. The decision not to 

 have the trials this year is final. 



Apropos of some of the bobtails now being shown in this 

 country as such, Mr, Freeman Lloyd, a well known authority 

 on the breed, in spe^^king of the old English sheepdog savs: 

 "But I must say in many instances of late I have seen priies 

 given to dogs of very indifferent texture of coat, and in type 



far removed from what was originally intended. I do not 

 like to see these poodle-like dogs on the bench. Interested 

 in the breed as I have been for several years, I have always 

 been taught that the quality of coat was a considerable de- 

 sideratum. Some judges to-day entirely ignore this, and so 

 long as they have a frame with a lot of stuffy hair covering 

 it to look at they are pleased to make awards, and think they 

 are recognizing the qualities of true specimens of this breed. 

 I am aware that most of the bobtails of to-day have a poodle 

 appearance, but that does not alter the fact that it is the in- 

 correct type." We owned one of these dogs while living in 

 Monmouthshire, on the borders of Wales, and it was said to 

 be a capital specimen, though entirely different to those 

 shown at Wissahickon both in length of body and texture of 

 coat, and it was a real bobtail into the bargain. It resembled 

 in a great degree the picture of Sir Cavendish published in this 

 country some three years ago. A cleverer dog with cattle 

 and sheep a man could not wish to have, and he was smart 

 enough on his legs to keep his original owner's htunble larder 

 well supplied with ground game. 



World's Fair Show. 



One of Forest and Streaji's representatives in Chicago 

 called on Mr. Buchanan last week, and in his absence saw his 

 secretary. The latter stated, as his opinion, that the date for 

 the World's Fair show would not be changed. There had 

 been no action taken on the matter nor on judges to fill 

 vacancies. 



National Beagle Club of America. 



A field trial committee meeting will be held at A. K. C. 

 rooms, M Broadway, New York, Monday, July 31, at 3 P. M. 

 The classes, judges, prizes, etc., for the coming year will be 

 considered, and a full attendance is expected. 



American Coursing Club IVIeeting. 



It has been decided that this meeting will commence Oct. 

 24, at Great Bend, Kan. Mr. E, H. Mulcaster, who judged 

 last year, has again been invited to raise the flags. 



English Setter Importation. 



Mr. Geo. O. Smith, of Wheeling, V. Ya., has imported 

 through Spratts Co. the English setter Gambit. 



Spratts Co. have imported for Mr. E. K. Austin, Platbush, 

 L. L, a winning bull bitch. Also a hutch of rabbits for Mr. 

 J. Bernard, of Utica, N. Y. 



Mr. A. D. Stewart has arrived in England, and according 

 to British Fancier, is now inspecting kennels in "Bonnie 

 Scotland." 



We note that Mr. McNeil offers liis pointer Coronet for 

 sale this week. This dog was broken by Mr. S. C. Bradley 

 and is said to be a capital all round dog. Mr. McNeil's 

 reason for selling is that he thinks him entirely out of place 

 in the city. 



That is a queer case Mr. Donovan mentions in another 

 column in regard to Refuge Y., the St. Bernard. W^e have 

 often wondered that more cases of this sort do not occur, as 

 oppo7-tunities for such exchanges mtist be ample. It is to 

 be hoped this particular one will be thoroughly investigated. 



Mr. McMahon, of Far Rockaway, L. I., is another stifferer 

 by the poison fiend, losing his pointer Duchess and St. Ber- 

 nard Rex, July 20. Whether it was the work of spiteful 

 persons or burglars is not known. 



Another elephantine St. Bernard has been brought otit in 

 Scotland. Mr. W. S. Clarke is the Iticky owner. He showed 

 it at Carluke show and^calls him Gold Finder. "Segusian," 

 in Scottifsh Fancier, says he is just about the best in the 

 United Kingdom at present. Mr. Reick is in Etirope now, 

 btit perhaps he Avill rest on this and let Col. Ruppert have 

 another go. 



A rather shabby trick was played on a judge in Scotland 

 recently. A well-known man was asked to judge at a show 

 in place of the appointed judge, who was ill. He wired back 

 "Coming," and at considerable expense went to the show, 

 where he found he had been hoaxed. It seems certain people 

 had spotted him as the writer of a letter to the Scottisn 

 Fancier objecting to the appointed judge as incompetent, 

 and they wished to see if he would act himself if aslsed to 

 judge all classes. The matter has been placed in the hands 

 of the authorities and there is fttn ahead. 



In our busineas columns Mr. -Joe Lewis places his well- 

 known English setters, champion Paul Gladstone and Yis- 

 cotmt, and Italian greyhound Spring at stud. Breeders in 

 Connecticut should avail themselves of this opportunity to 

 secure some of the best blood in English setterdom. 



We have received the Constitution and By-Laws and Run- 

 ning Rules of the Nortwestern Beagle Club, lately formed. 

 They are practically the same as the National, and have 

 therefore been commented upon before. All beagle men will 

 be pleased to hear of the formation of this club and the pro- 

 gress it has already made. 



It Is probable that Mr. Symonds will continue the North- 

 field Kennels with George Thomas still as manager. Mr. 

 Toon is the defatilting member of the combine. His business 

 interests in England require too much of his time. 



We are again compelled to hold over the continuation of 

 "Type of Great Danes;" several letters on Dr. Perry's A. K. 

 C. resolutions must share the same fate. 



The pointer bitch Abington Juno sold by Mr. Fred Inglis, 

 of Abington, to Mr. C. T. P. Smith, of Bristol, is intended 

 for exportation to America, so Stock-Keeper (Eng.) says. 

 This pointer won firsts at Glasgo\v and Ayr, Scotland, sho\Vs. 



The Detroit dog Toledo Bee will run in the All-Age Stake 

 at the Manitoba trials. It wiU be remembered he won at the 

 International trials at Chatham. Ont., last year. Monk of 

 Fur n ess Sting will run in the Derby. It seems to be be- 

 coming fashionable to send dogs up to Manitoba to get 

 in shape for the later trials. The season begins earlier in 

 that region than elsewhere, and as the country is good the 

 dogs are able to get into nice shape and develop speed for the 

 trials later on. Mr. J. M. Avent has gone up there with a 

 goodly string of new ones. 



Mr, Albion L. Page's kennels at Stanley Park, N. J., look 

 almost deserted, he having sold off most of his kennel of 

 deerhounds. We saw, however, a capital-headed dog by 

 Bruar out of Lufra that will speak for himself when he is 

 shown. He is not quite two years old now. His name is 

 Lochiel. A bitch, Minna, was nursing a litter of five xi^oT- 

 ous pups by Lochiel, two days old. 



A rather peculiar case came before the English Kennel 

 Club recently, and as a result an exhibitor at the late Pet 

 Dog show, H. Hartell, is disqualified for two years. He sent 

 insuitiug letters to the secretary of the show demanding the 

 return of his entry fees because of a judge's partial conduct 

 iu the ring, as he claims. He insists that Mr. Tom Ashton 



awarded a prize to one of Mrs. Foster's dogs half an hour 

 before the class was judged. He sa,ys he saw Mr. Ashton 

 write something in his book when the dog was shown him in 

 the hamper, and then heard him say. "You are all right." 

 Unfortunately for this accitser he could not prove his charges, 

 having no witnesses, and for sending insulting letters and a 

 postal card he was disqualified^ In reading of this and other 

 cases passed tipon by the E. K. C, we are reminded that it 

 would be well if the letters, charges, etc., read and passed 

 upon by our advisory committee, should be made public in 

 the A. K. C. CrCiZ' ttc, so that thedogmenat large could judge 

 whether those whom they elect to office are doing their duty 

 properly. 



Mr. Winchell, of mastiff and bloodhound fame, has ar- 

 ranged all the photographs of his noted dogs in a large frame 

 and this in turn has been photographed, making a very in- 

 teresting sort of pocket edition of celebrities.

ANSWERS TO CORRESPONDENTS. 



'Uiere is no charge for ansioering questions under this he&d. All 

 questions relating to ailments of dugs will be answered by Dr. T. G. 

 Sherwood, a member of the Royal College of Veterinary Surgeons. 

 Cominunications referring to other matters co7inected with Kennel 

 Managem,ent and dogs will also receive careful attention. 



C. B. C— Write to W. W. Titus, Waverley, Clay coimty, Miss. 



R. B. D., South Bend, Wash.— Under the circumstances you could 

 not do better than feed the dog at noon. Evening is usually the best 

 time. 



A Reader, Lenox, Mass — I have a pointer bitch 14 years old, that 

 was bred four times when she was young. 1 bred her last spring to a 

 pup about a year old, but she did not prove in whelp. She is very 

 healthy and lively. Is it possible for her to have pups at her age, and 

 should I try another dog? Ans. We fear she is too old. However, 

 you can try again, and see that she has four or five services. 



T. B. G., Blacksburg. S. C— Will you kindly advise me what to do 

 for my Irish setter bitch. She has pups five weeks old, has been 

 doing well until the last ten days. She has no appetite, does not 

 seem to be sick, but wiU not eat. Ans. Give the following: 



R Pot. bicarb 3 i 



Tr. gent, co .' 3 ii 



Aq. ad 5 vi 



Mix. Give one tablespoonful three times a day. 



R. E. M., Belief ontaine, O.— My pointer bitch was due to whelp May 

 13, but missed. She made milk as though for large litter. Her teats 

 are yet very large and fuU of milk. About two weeks before her time 

 was up she began to get very fat, and is so still, although she gets but 

 one feed of table scraps each day. How can I reduce her in weight, 

 as she weighs over "Olbs., though only of small build r WiU the milk 

 hurt her in any way? Ans. Feed once a day on lean meat (i-aw in 

 preference to cooked), with a little bread. Give more exercise, also 

 give an occasional purgative. No. 



J. B., Jersey City.— I have a young cocker spaniel bitch, two years 

 old, which has, I believe, a slight attack of mange. The hair in the 

 neighborhood of the tail is coming out and a sort of scab has formed; 

 she is rolling and scratching all the time. Would you kindly pubUsh 

 in your next issue a remedy for this? Ans. Apply the following 

 dressing daily. Sulphur sublimed, 6oz.; oil of tar, 6oz; cottonseed 

 oil, 40oz. MLs together and apply. Also give this mixture: 



5 Mag. sulph , 51 



Ferri sulph , gi 



Acid sulph. dil 3 i 



Aq. ad fYiii 



Mix. Give one tablespoonful twice a day. 



T. E. D., New York City.— I have a fine Ii-ish setter dog, about two 

 and a half years old and very large, weighing 611bs., though very thin,
