DOG CHAT. 



New Jersey Sales. 



In transferring to Mr. G. Mead, of Maywood, N. J., the 

 Gordon setter Mr. Morris recently imported, he has secured 

 for the breed the interest of a gentleman who is devoted to 

 the gun, and in selling to Mr. Prasse, of Weehawken, a son 

 of champion Rexmont out of a daughter of old champion 

 Beaumont, Mr. Morris has enabled another to enter the 

 field with a team of four Gordons; aud this is highly de- 

 .■slrable, for of late the prizes have been going all one way. 

 Mr. Morris wishes us to state that he was unfortunate with 

 the litter of fourteen Gordons out of Salmont by Beaumont, 

 Jr. , and there are no more for sale. In pet dogs Mr, Morris, 

 in addition to importing a Blenheim spaniel, has sold Twinkle, 

 the King Chaiies spaniel bitch, to Mr. Jean Roberts Albert, 

 of Audubon, la., who has a fine dog of this variety in Max, 

 and now intends to go into breeding these very attractive lit- 

 tle pets. In poodles, a transfer of champion Dexter's mate 

 Dot (a winner of two firsts) has besn made to a New York 

 gentleman, who intends to exhibit, and we understand this 

 is preparatory to relinquishing the breed. 



American Fox-Terrier Club. 



The American Fox-Terrier Club have decided that the fol- 

 lowing stakes will be judged by Mr. Mortimer at the Provi- 

 dence show: The second division of the Seventh Grand 

 Produce Stake, which is for puppies whelped between May 

 31, 1892, and .Jan. 1, 1893. The Yankee Stakes of '92, which 

 was wrongly awarded at New York this spring. The Yankee 

 Stakes of '93, which is for puppies whelped between May 1, 

 1892, and March 1, 1893. The entries for each of these stakes 

 will close with the entries for the Rhode Island State Fair, 

 which is Sept. 4. The club's ledger, posted up to Aug. 25, 

 shows the club to be in a flourishing condition, the balance 

 in bank being $382.16. The example of this club in intro- 

 ducing so many special stakes at shows is worthy of imita- 

 tion by other specialty clubs. It is an incentive to breeding 

 that is not reached by the mere offering of club medals for 

 best of this or that, and with whose breeding, etc., the 

 exhibitor probably has had little, if anything, to do. 



Mount Holly Show. 



The Mount Holly show people, realizing that a healthy prize 

 list draws the entries, have materially increased the stakes. 

 Five-dollar specials will be given the best in nearly all the 

 breedSj and kennel prizes of .$10 for the most important. The 

 following additional classes have been made: Russian wolf- 

 hounds — Challenge dogs and bitches, S6 each; open dogs and 

 bitches, $6 and §3. Cocker spaniels — Challenge dogs and 

 bitches, ^6 each; open dogs and bitches, S6 and $3. Poodles- 

 Corded dogs and bitches and curly-coated dogs and bitches, 

 $6 and $3. Toy spaniels, except King Charles, S6 and S3. 



Puppies at Shows 



What did the A. K. C. make the rule for forbidding dogs 

 to be shown under six months of age? The improvement 

 there might be in the health of a show were this rule strictly 

 enforced cannot yet be discerned. It is quite as hazardous to 

 allow bitches with litters of eight or ten pups to occupy 

 stalls in a show; it matters not whether they compete or not, 

 the nuisance and odor is just as great. No puppies, and 

 especially nursing pups, should be allowed in a show. It is 

 exceptional when their stall is kept clean, and generally it is 

 one to hurry past and is an eyesore. 



Teat on a Dogr. 



We noticed a most peculiar growth on the second prize 

 winning mastifC dog at Lexington. On making a closer ex- 

 amination it was found to be a perfectly formed teat on the 

 outside edge of the flank. It was quite an inch and a half 

 long and correspondingly thick and was perfectly formed, 

 even to the hole in the end. Some people wUl expect us to 

 say that there was milk in it, but we are sorry to disappoint 

 them; there will be, possibly, when Wafe has whelps. How 

 about -the influence of previous dams? Here is a subject 

 quite as interesting and vague as the other. 



New Jersey Kennel League. 



The last meeting of the club was not of the importance ex- 

 pected because the premium list was not ready and judges 

 were not selected. The premium list was debated and re- 

 plies from judges read. Committee on guarantee fund 

 reported progress in collecting first instalment, and all are 

 enthusiastic. A regular meeting of the executive commit- 

 tee will be held at Molten Hotel, Newark, N. J., Wednesday, 

 Sept. 6, at 8:30 P. M. 



The Rutherfurd Kennels. 



Mr. Donald Monro sends us a capital picture of Tip-Top, 

 owned by the Messrs. Rutherfurd. He is proving a capital 

 stud dog, as Mr. Munro says they have about seventy pups, 

 most of them by this young dog and First Flight, and 1894 

 wiU see some winners from them. All fox-terrier men 

 should be pleased to hear this, for America contains no more 

 enthusiastic and consistent breeders of fox-terriers than the 

 owners of this kennel. 



Trotting Great Dane. 



There was shown at Lexington a rather good looking 

 great Dane, Jeff by name, who is quite a clever dog in his 

 way. He will lead and trot a horse anywhere, and accom- 

 panies his master, a " vet." in Cincinnati, on his rounds and 

 holds the horse for him. He is trained to sulky, and can do 

 his mile in 3.36. 



Beagle Club. 



It is proposed to form a beagle club in England. It is a 

 matter for surprise that such a club has not been started 

 long ago. In America we have three clubs devoted to the 

 interests of the merry little hound, and one for Canada is on 

 the tapis. 



We draw attention to the good things provided in our busi- 

 ness columns this week. George BeU offers a grand lot of 

 spaniels and champion Dusky Trap for sale; 6. P. Wiggin 

 offers pups, his Judith, the noted St. Bernard dam, has just 

 whelped to Altoneer; C. W. Tway, some trained English set- 

 ters aud pointers; P. M. Carman, trained rabbit hounds; B. 

 H. Rummele, Jr., beagle bitch; J. M. Kelly, English setters; 

 Toon & Symonds, well bred Irish terrier and bull-terrier 

 pups; W. DoAvning, foxhounds; William H. Hyland, young 

 pointers; J. T. Mayfield has room for several dogs to train at 

 Bicknell, Ind. 



The St. Bernard bitch Judith should be honored by the St. 

 Bernard Club. She has had four litters and produced 57 

 whelps, and the oldest is not two and a half years old, yet 

 several of them occupy foremost positions in the records. 

 She has just had another litter of 16, by Altoneer, and 10 are 

 alive. 



The premium list of about ?1,500 for the Minneapolis dog 

 show is guaranteed by the exposition authorities and the 

 show takes place Oct. 3 to 6. The show will be under A. K. C. 

 rules and application has been made for admission. The 

 entrance fee for St. Bernards, mastiffs, great Danes and New 

 foundlands is |3, toy terriers, pugs, toy spaniels, Italian 



greyhounds and whippets SI, and the others S3. Entries 

 close vSept. 23. There is a sulky, value S50, for best American 

 bred mastiff. The regular premiums are $10 and $.5. The 

 Minneapolis Kennel " Club gives the show and the officers of 

 the club are: S. P. Carpenter, President; F. W. Eastman, 

 Vice-President; H. Y. Van Dusen, Secretary; W. M. Brack- 

 ett. Superintendent, and H. E. Rowell, Veterinary Surgeon. 



Joe Lewis has just received a letter from George Langran, 

 Yonkers, N. Y., in which he states that his Irish setter bitch 

 Juno has whelped a litter of sixteen puppies, nine dogs and 

 seven bitches, by the celebrated champion Kildare, Oak 

 Grove Kennels, Moodus, Conn. 



We regret to hear that Mr. Fiske's noted English setter 

 brood bitch Donna died Aug. 26. She was chloroformed, 

 being afflicted with several tumors. 



One exhibitor, who really should know better, had a first 

 prize card over his terrier cage. On our wondering how this 

 could be when the space against its name in the judge's book 

 was a blank, he informed us that the dog had won first prize 

 in one of the winning kennels. We live and learn, but we 

 had to go a good way south for it. 



What's the matter with the Boston Terrier Club ? We do 

 not hear of so much enthusiasm lately. It is said internal 

 dissension has set in. It would be too hard on the little dog 

 to leave him alone among the bluebloods so early in his 

 career. 



An innovation that might be followed to advantage by 

 other shows was the reprinting of the premium list at the 

 end of the catalogue at Lexington show. Of course there is 

 no necessity for this when the prizes are given over every 

 class, but this is not always done, and exhibitors do not 

 always find a premium list to hand when wanted. Alto- 

 gether the Lexington catalogue was well gotten up, there 

 were a few typographical errors, but few transfers had to be 

 made. 



One of the chief items of interest to the public who visit a 

 dog show is'to see what dogs have won in a class. Therefore 

 the prize cards should be tacked up on the return of the 

 dogs to their benches. There was little to guide the public 

 in this respect at the Blue Grass show. 



The proprietor of the Seminole Kennels, Dr. Sauveur, shows 

 no signs of relea,sing his hold on "cani culture," rather is he 

 going deeper into it, in spite of puppy losses and other hard 

 luck. The Wissahickon show loss was something like S2,.500, 

 and the Doctor had to stand the best part of it. All this is 

 ancient history now, and finding his present quarters too 

 small he has purchased Commodore Kitson's stock farm, 

 near his present residence, and here vrill erect some very 

 handsome kennels. On this place he will have ample room, 

 there are a couple of trotting tracks and a large residence for 

 himself and another for Will Connors, whom we must con- 

 gratulate upon his joining the order of Benedicts. Seminole 

 Kennels have recently purchased the pug Ivy Boy from Mr. 

 James Bowden. The Doctor tried to buy Patsy Bolivar at 

 Lexington, but Al Eberhart wants to keep him. He is on 

 the lookout for a world-beating pug. 



Mr. R. S. Hatcher is a poodle enthusiast, owning a neat 

 little dog in Parisian who, if you lift the flap of his ear and 

 whisper ever so softly, will forthwith return and shut the 

 door after you. During the show another prize winning 

 poodle, Queen Zyp, was bred to Parisian. Mr. Hatcher fell 

 in love with one of the St. Bernard lo's pups and paid $100 

 for it. 



California Canine Matters. 



Mr. H. M. ToifKEE, of North Ontario, Cal., in a letter of 

 recent date, among other things, mentioned the following: 



"We are exerting ourselves to make this State in dogs 

 what it has been in horses— a perfect training ground. Our 

 dogs can have work the year round, for there is always a sur- 

 plus of cock quail which do not pair off, which afford excel- 

 lent sport (without a gun) for young dogs. They are rank 

 runners. A puppy which has a month on them knows how 

 to handle running birds. 



"I inclose you a few pedigrees, and I think that you will 

 agree with me that I have some good ones. As they are all 

 first-rate in the field, I expect to breed some puppies which 

 will render a good account of themselves. I sent to Mr. R. 

 R. Gardner, San Francisco, Cal., a brace of English setter 

 puppies, by Shelley out of Estella, and he says he wiU wait a 

 year to get another one." 



Mr. Tonner mentions the names of Amaryllis, Lilia Glad- 

 stone, Estrella, Sergeant and Shelley Hudson. The pedigrees 

 show the blood of Monk of Fumess, King Noble, Elsie Bel- 

 ton, Maximus, Count Gladsome, Don, Drab, King of Kent, 

 Babe Graphic, Gladstone and Dido II. With such blood, our 

 California brethren should be in the van before many years 

 roll by. 



This office was favored vvdth a pleasant visit on Sept. 1 by 

 the veteran judge, Mr. John Davidson, who was on his way 

 from Lexington to Morris, Man. , to act as a judge in the 

 N. W. P. T. C. trials. Thence he hies to Toronto, thence to 

 Rhode Island, to fill engagements. He was bronzed and 

 ruddy from outdoor exposure, and his health was as good as 

 his good looks would imply. He survives all the dangers of 

 the dog world with an ease which prompts the querj^ as to 

 whether there are any real dangers in existence in said 

 world. May his trip be pleasant. 



Dr. Otto Moebes, in a most pleasant, friendly letter, writes 

 recently, as follows: 



"I am working four youngsters for the IT. S. Derby at 

 Grand Junction, three pointers and one setter. One Osborne 

 Ale— Croxie pointer is remarkably fast, has a splendid nose, 

 and is a great ranger. The others are also promising young- 

 sters. I vslll have one or two pointers in the All-Age Stake. 

 I am indeed sorry that the field trials are going down hill. I 

 hope they will come out with new vigor next year." 



A gentleman asked me recently what had become of the 

 English Setter Club, had it been lost, strayed or stolen? I 

 told him I didn't know. I don't know. B. Waters. 



Madge Gladstone, Winfield Noble and Another. 



Chicago, Aug, 28.— Editor Forest and Stream: The three 

 dogs advertised by W. M. Wroten, Magnolia, Miss., do not 

 belong to him. The bitch Madge Gladstone is shy and a 

 blinker. Winfield Noble is both gunshy and birdshy. The 

 Gath's Hope bitch cannot be registered. No one outside of 

 myself can furnish a breeder's certificate for her. Wroten 

 or any one else cannot give a title to these dogs. I warn all 

 sportsmen from purchasing any of these dogs as I shall 

 replevin them at the first opportunity. J. E. IsGRia G. 



The Ohio Field Trials Club. 



Caitton, O., Aug. 29.— At a meeting of the board of direc- 

 tors of the Ohio Field Trials Club the time for Derby entries 

 has been extended to Oct. 1. Mr. John Bolus was appointed 

 judge of the trials. Information secured from owners of the 

 land on which our trials will be run state that we will have 

 plenty of birds, and they will protect the same until after the 

 trials. G, V. L. Meujugek, Sec'y. 



Manitoba Field Trial Club's Entries. 



EVERTTHliTG points to their having a successful and enjoy- 

 able meeting at Souris. The number of entries is greatly in 

 excess of last year's, and all good dogs, so that they should 

 have a superior trial. 



The following are the entries for All- Aged Stake to be run 

 at Souris, Sept. 18, 1893, W. Tallman, judge:

"Tasted a Crood Thing." 



Editor Forest and Stream: 



Will you please send me copy of last (Aug. 26) week's issue? 

 I received my paper, but two spaniel pups in their pursuit 

 after knowledge got hold of it and left me about half, which 

 I have read and now desire to finish the other half. There 

 were half a dozen other papers which the pups could have 

 had and welcome, but I think they displayed good taste, and 

 must be dogs of discernment in being so young and yet so 

 ready to appreciate a good thing. Send along another copy, 

 for which I inclose 10 cents. A. J. B.

 noon, Aug. 31. There were present Judge J. W. Perry, 

 Roger D. Williams, B. S. Coyle, Bourbon Kennels representa- 

 tives. Redd Bros., Woodson Royster, C. M. Carlin, of Lex- 

 ington; W. C. Goodwin^aris, Ky.; Strodes Valley Kennel

 S. King, N. C; A. B. Whitlock, Sekitan, Ohio; Walker 

 Bros., Point Lovell, Ky., and H. L. Means, Louisville, Ky. 

 Many who were prevented from attending sent letters of re- 

 gret and expressing good wishes for the association, and an 

 intention of becoming members. Of course this was only a 

 preliminary meeting to start the association, and nothing 

 was done in the way of constitution and bye-laws. The 

 members present elected the following officers : President, 

 Admiral James Jouette, Washington; Vice-Presidents, E. 

 F. Clay, R. D. Williams, Wm. Huffstetter and Francis J.
