FOREST AND STREAM. 



[Sept. 33, 1893. 



expression, should be better in feet and have more rib; Lord 

 Wilton is rather long faced, nice expression, good bone and 

 front, but was not in show condition either in coat or flesh. 

 Captain Worts, third, is a brindle headed one, light in body 

 and with little to commend but his coat. Dauntless, fourth, 

 turns his open toes out, a better skull than muzzle, good 

 bone, nice coat, though in body it is all white. Safety, re- 

 serve, has brindle markings, a nice all round little dog if 

 muzzle were deeper and stop not quite so pronunced, should 

 have been higher up. In bitches (2), the winner pi'oved to be 

 Maypole, whose front is a study, her body fair, but out of 

 coat and her head is long and snipy, ear and eye good; second 

 prize was withheld. The puppies were of no account. 



Smooths had no challenge representatives, but in open dogs 

 we were introdiiced to the new crack St. Augustine, whom 

 we were sorry to see make his debut in such light condition. 

 He should nothave been shown. A dog that has a reputation 

 should be more than careful to appear to the best advantage 

 when he makes his debut in a new country. H e is a capitally 

 colored dog with an excellent tjrpe of head, especially muzzle, 

 the skull being somewhat narrow proportionately; he has 

 great depth through the head and perfect marking; if he was 

 shaded a little more he would be vastly improved. His legs 

 are good but feet could be a little truer set, but he moves 

 well, his body is dark, but as he will carry 20Ibs. more flesh 

 little can be said in this connection at present, he will be 

 shown at New York and then he will probably be in good 

 shape. Second was withheld from Rosco and benator, two 

 poor ones; Rosco's coat may by some be said to be a little 

 long for a smooth , but we found little fault here. Glenwood 

 Goldy, first in bitches, has little type and is small. When I 

 say that Captain Worts won in novice dogs (8), the character 

 of the others may be inferred, and Maypole won in the cor- 

 responding class. Kennel prize did not hll. 



There were no bloodhounds. 



Neavfoukdlands {Mr. Mason, Judge).— Only two of these 

 turned up, and Rover was a cheap dog at catalogue price, 

 S7.5. He beat Carlo, that should have won at Lexington, 

 handily in size, bone and especially in massiveness of head; 

 coat good and right in texture, hocks and tail a bit faulty, 

 but a better sort than we generally see at shows. 



Great Dane.s {3Ir. Mason, Judge).— The Wolverton Ken- 

 nels deserved the credit in these classes. Minerva's Fawn, 

 Ottawa's heroine, was alone in challenge class; she looked in 

 tiptop shape. Open dogs saw Lord Wolverton, a nice up- 

 standing dog, an easy first; he should have more arch of loin 

 and toes should be closer, but he has a good head and neck, 

 ribs well formed, good behind and an active mover. Senta's 

 Brutus, from the .same kennel, is a very likely pup, with a 

 well-shaped head for his age. Royal Minor, third, is bowed 

 in front, straight behind, should be cleaner in neck, is nicely 

 ribbed, but muzzle should be deeper. Fourth went to Royal 

 Major, flat-faced and snipy, good bone, but not such good 

 type as the winner. 



The vrinning bitch, Senta, is a very good one, as her pic- 

 ture snows, excellent head, clean neck, good legs and feet, 

 capital body and an active mover; when shown in the East 

 she will be found a bard one to beat, as she is not at all of 

 the heavy sort, but a most- symmetrically built bitch: she 

 showed her bag badly, having just weaned a litter. Norim- 

 burga, second, we thought was the one shown under that 

 name at Lexington, Ky., but Mr. Davison, of the Bay City 

 Kennels, says she has not been out of his charge for three 

 weeks, and though entered at Lexington did not' go there 

 Then what bitch was shown in her stall at the Kentucky 

 •show.? Norimburga is cheeky, dips behind the shoulder a 

 little, but stands on good legs and feet. Ruth, third, is a 

 coarse, common bitch, not deserving of recognition. Melina 

 fourth, is a better sort, though snipy. Lenta's Brutus won 

 m dog pups, and a most promising bitch, Senta's Mascotte 

 did the same in her class; if all signs do not fail she will push 

 her dam Senta very hard when she matures. Senta's Rheda 

 second, loses to her in head and body. Wolverton Kennels 

 took the special for best kennel and Mount Royal Kennels 

 that for best Canadian kennel. 



Russian Wolfhounds {Mr. Mason, Judge).— Theve was 

 no representative of this breed, Mr. Hanks sending the only 

 entries, but they failed to put in an appearance. In deer- 

 hounds also there were no entries. 



Greyhounds (Mr. Mason, Jndge).~Gem of the Season 

 and Bestwood Daisy supplied the challenge winners, both 

 looked well, though Gem seems to be going off a bit Open 

 dogs (7) showed little quality when Cheeky, the Leamington 

 wmner, came out first over Misterton, who, like the winner 

 IS heavy in shoulders and a little long cast; Ranger third' 

 might, with no impropriety, have been placed first, as he beats 

 the wmner in shoulders, body and feer, though he also has 

 faults such as short neck and not bend enouglj of stifle- 

 Never Quit, reserve, is rather shelly, flat in loins, but good 

 behmd; Johnny Stringer, v.h.c., I would like better were he 

 longer in neck and not so thick, and his set on of stern and 

 quarters are not correct; Master Meranon is a narrow one 

 throughout, but shows some quality; I^ord Northcroft has 

 big drop ears and is an undeveloped youngster yet In 

 buches there was somewhat of an upset. Wild Ro.se 

 who Avas never considered more than pas.sably good, having 

 put on flesh, has covered some of her most serious defects 

 and shown in excellent shape, was placed over Southern 

 Beauty, who was drawn a little fine and was a bit bare on 

 quarters. Condition was said to be the cause of defeat but 

 if the judge allows this to throw a good dog out in one class 

 he should be consistent and carry the same idea out in all his 

 breeds. This was not done by any means, and gave rise to 

 much grumbling. AVild Rose lo.ses to Beauty in depth of 

 rib, neck, stifle and shoulders, skull, eye and muzzle, straight- 

 ne,ss of bone, but has better pasterns and feet. Bridget, third 

 is flat in loin, long cast and heavy in .shoulders, nice' head,' 

 Ermine should be closer in toes, is faulty in quarters but 

 loin good. Flyaway is a nicely modeled one; should be 

 stronger in pasterns and have more rib; nice loin and quar- 

 ters, too fine in muzzle, one that Dr. Van Hummel would 

 turn from m disgust. Lord Northcroft won in dog pups and 

 Neyersettlem bitches, a young one, but straighter in front 

 and better feet than second, Pee-dee-kee. good in every part 

 but there. Mr. Purbeck took the open kennel prize and To- 

 ronto Kennels that for Canadians. 



¥oxnoTJST>s {Mr. Krueger, Jttdge).— Thev have got these 

 dogs all mixed up here. The dogs .shown as English hounds 

 were, many of them, more like American hounds, and with 

 one exception the American hounds (?) are pure English and 

 bred from English stock, and they show it in their character 

 and heavy build. The winner in English dogs was Spartan, 

 whose weak hocks should throw him out for first, but his 

 Avell-shaped head, expression and fair front deserve recogni- 

 tion. Bounce is a nicish hound with fair front and so has 



Sportsman, Jr. Rush, the only and winning bitch, is not 

 true m front, hocks turn in a bit and stifle should be more 

 bent. In American class for dogs the Lexington winner 

 Commodore won; this was all right as far as it goes, but if 

 he was best the others should have been turned out Tvithout 

 anything, as they were purely English in type and build. 

 Commodore is not a good hound by any means, and his lack 

 of rib was plainer here. Clinker has an excellent front, a 

 much better body than winner, but net, so good in skull and 

 ear but better muzzle, the winner being dish-faced. Genius 

 II. has capital forelegs and is better behind than any of them 

 skull a little too broad and full. Ring wood was third at 

 Toronto last year. I liked the order. Clinker, Genius II. and 

 Rmgvvood considering hound qualities irrespective of what 

 the class called for, American hounds, and in this Commo- 

 dore was the only one. A capital bitch, Maud, was alone in 

 her class and won; she hns good running gear and body and 

 nice hound coat; little faulty in head, Fan, supposed to be 

 a harrier, was given second; she is a 16ia, beagle, »Me«srs. 

 boiith. & Clarke took the kennel prize, 



PoiNTEES (John Davidson, Judge)— Many of the winners 

 in this breed were shown last year, One of them was Count 

 Graphic, winner of challenge heavy dogs, he looked in good 

 shape, his hind parts are faulty. No challenge bitches. In 

 open heavy dogs the winner proved to be Molton Banner, 

 whose heavy shoulders and rather flat loin are his worst 

 faults. Boxer, second, was at Indianapolis; he has a plain 

 head, Donovan, third, has been commented on before, his 

 loin and muzzle are faulty and quarters could be improved. 

 Lord Graphic's Star, reserve, is a bit flat in back, cheeky and 

 not clean enough in neck, good on his legs, with nice bone. 

 Josie Brackett, Fanny Graphic and Spotted Girl was the 

 order in heavy bitches, the winner gets it in feet and head, 

 but gains little anywhere else. Girl loses in head and front 

 to the others, also in shoulders and ribs. Glamorgan and 

 Lady Gay Spanker were alone in the challenge light-weight

classes. Glamorgan is improving in condition, but I thought 

 the bitch a little above herself in flesh. Mr. Davey won in 

 open dogs with Ridgeview Comet, a son of Ridgeview Lass 

 and Lad of Kent, his light stary eye rnars his expression and 

 his skull should not be so broad, and were he cleaner in neck 

 and shoulders he would be better, he is good from there 

 back. Admiration has a better head and forepart. Beppo's 

 Boy has a plain face, not stop enough, turns feet out and 

 falls away a bit in quarters, body and ribs are his best parts. 

 Beppo Graphic, vhc, had a lartre lump under chin and should 

 not have been shown. Mi.ss Rumor, well known, then won 

 in bitches. Count Graphic's Baby, second, seemed in whelp, 

 ahttle plain in muzzle and feet .should be better, good in 

 hind parts, ear and skull. Chaira, third, is heavy in shoulders,

pasterns and feet could be improved, and is snipy in muzzle 

 Novice winners were a repetition of the open classes. No 

 puppies were shown, Mr. Davey won both the kennel 

 prizes. 



English Setters {John Dafotdson, Judge).— The only 

 challenge entry was Victress Lewellyn, who looked in fair 

 flesh but out of coat. Worsley Dude continued his winning 

 career by beating Forest Rex, whose heavy shoulders and 

 rather short neck hurt his chances; his ears are flat and 

 carried high. Baugham's London, third, isuot very straight 

 in front, fair head, but throaty, ears faulty. Roy of Cole- 

 hill, fourth or reserve, I think was overlooked somewhat, as 

 he shows more character and breeding than any in the class 

 excepting the winner, stands on good legs, is well boned 

 and ribbed up, has a well-shaped head, but perhaps a trifle 

 strong in .skull; in fact, he is a heax-y dog throughout and 

 will do better another time. Royal Dan. of the vhc. lot, is 

 rather a nice headed dog, dips behind shoulder a little and 

 is throaty. The Sultan, winner last year, seems to have 

 been lost in the shufBe this time; last year we said of him 

 "probably sees now his best days;" he was all out of shape. 

 Ponto has not stop enough . In bitches Lady Patch repeated 

 last year's victory; is a little straight faced. Nita Gitana 

 is not true in fi-ont, is plain in quarters and very light in 

 eye. Rose Rapid has a nice fi'ont, with a rather well-shaped 

 head, but not very pleasing eye. Starlight B. carries her 

 ears back and muzzle is not square enough, and should 

 have more bend of stifle. Lady Howard, vhc, I did not see 



commendable, stands back on pasterns and quarters are not 

 above reproach. Novice entries about followed the open 

 awards and but two pups were shown. Dr. Kime won the 

 kennel prizes 



Irish Setters {John Davidson, Judge).— The displav 

 this time was far behind that of last year. Ch. Tim repeated 

 his last year's victory, but over different material, his near- 

 est opponent being Pride of Patsey, That good bitch. Queen 

 Vic, .scored easily over the moderate-headed Elfreda in the 

 corresponding class. Open dogs, with only six entries, 

 proved a repetition of a week or two ago; Toronto Jim, re- 

 serve, has an English setter head; Toronto Little Phil is a 

 little broad in skull, excellent body, color, hind parts and 

 shoulders, might have been placed over the other. Toronto 

 Parnell has a plain head. In bitches honors fell to Toronto 

 Mollie and Nona, the latter from Mr. Bishop's kennel; the 

 winner is faulty in feet, plain head, shoulders rather straight, 

 faulty tail, too short; Nona is quite a nice quality bitch, ex- 

 cellent color, good type of head, though a little too much 

 out before the eye and might have been higher; Delphinne, 

 third, is well known; Madcap II. throws her elbows out a lit- 

 tle and should have more rib; Alannah has been described 

 before, and so have Mollie and Lady Cleveland, all in the 

 vhc. division. Nora has a light, plain head and no rib to 

 speak of, and was out of shape. The novices were chiefly 

 repeaters, Toronto Sport's head is noticeable, but faulty in 

 pastern and quarters. The puppies were small. Seminole 

 Kennels took the open kennel prize, and Chambers & Doug- 

 las that for Canadian. 



Gordon Setters {John Davidson, Jurtge).— Outside of Dr. 

 Dixon's tea .na and Heather Lad there was little to commend 

 here, and most of the winners have been repeatedly before 

 the public. In open dogs Homer S. loses much in head, tan 

 and legs to Heather Lad, and is fat and throaty. Moimt 

 Royal Rush should have beaten him, better body, head and 

 legs than coarse-headed Duke of Wellington, vhc. Princess 

 Ijouise had a narrow squeeze in bitches, Dimdee but for 

 smallness coming very near the top; better head than the 

 Princess, though both are plain. Dundee is good behind the 

 head. Wanda loses in head and tan, and so does Mount 

 Royal Floss. They have not enough type about them. 

 Novice a.s in open and no puppie,s shown. Dr. Dixon took one 

 kennel prize and Mount Royal the other. 



Collies {Mr. Mason, Judgp).—BY no means up to last 

 year's gathering. Seminole Kennels just formed the chal- 

 lenge classes wth The Squire, Roslvn Dandy and Metchley 

 Sm-prise. The open dogs saw Wellesboum'e Charlie add 

 another win that, had rules counted, would have placed him 

 in the challenge class. He was well shown and in excellent 

 coat, there is no doubt about that. Mr. Elliott here showed 

 his Chesterfield Marvel, a better one than his Hero which we 

 noted at Lexington show, better size, head and action. Fins- 

 bury Dude is coarse in head but excellent coat and a useful 

 sort all over. Hero was reserve; though Curzon, vhc, looked 

 very light and rusty coat, he can beat the other dog as it was 

 shown. Yardley Fox is short in body, faulty in loin, rather 

 nice head and front, faulty carriage of tail and no undercoat. 

 The winner in bitches proved to be Nora who shows a lot of 

 quality and a good coat, very dense for this time of ye.ar, a 

 little fine in muzzle and ears are carried wide. The well 

 known Bertha II. followed close up. Then came Dawn who, 

 had she a coat on, would best the winner; better head and 

 carriage of ears and size. Mattie, spoken of before, came in 

 reserve. Auch-in-Cairnie Judy, fourth, ha.s fair head, little 

 full in skull, nice coat; the name of this bitch is enough to 

 make it shed its coat. Bernier is faulty in skull, and eat' 

 heavy and carried down. Novices were about as in open. 

 Puppies were fair in dogsj bitches poor. Seminole Ken uels 

 took the open kennel prize and Saunders & Mightou the 

 local one. 



Bulldogs {Mr. Mason, Judge).— A mediocre exhibit, only 

 two, Romance, a new one, is a fair sort, not broken up 

 enough in face, and skull should be fuller; it is rather flat, 

 front not very good, well out, out legs crookad. Lady Win- 

 nie, a daughter of Don Solano, is plain faced, nice body and 

 well out at shoulders, good legs. Bulldogs do not seem to 

 go here. 



Bull-Terriers {Mr. Mason, Judge). —Qnite a fair lot of 

 home-bred ones. Entries were smaller and quality not so 

 good as last year. Crisp won in challenge dogs, looking 

 none the worse for his trip south. In open dogs Duke of 

 Rochester, a 9aios. pup, was wrongly placed first, he is prom- 

 ising, has a long, narrow, round, puppy head, is out at elbow 

 and down behind shoulders a bit. Chatham Bob, second, 

 has an almost yellow eye and is cheeky, a better front than 

 the winner, good bone and body. John L. Sullivan is faulty 

 in head and front. Billy Bulger, in excellent shape, was 

 hardly dealt with, a trifle thick iu skull, but his front, good 

 body and well carried stern might well have earned him pre- 

 mier honors. In bitches Edgewood Robin was placed over 

 Vesper Belle, who beats her m head, muzzle and especially 

 in front. Lady Velme, described at Lexington, third. In 

 light-weight dogs Principio won nicely from "Ted Pritchard, 

 whom he beat last year, a nice looking pup, Earl of Roche.ster 

 came next, promising head, in fact a good one, but his 

 chances are. spoiled by a tan patch on body. Pearl of 

 Rochester, a sweet little bitch, rather like a white English 

 terrier, was first, beating Kathleen Mavourueen in head and 

 front, but losing behind the shoulder, she is a pup and will 

 mature yet. Lady of Rochester is another nice pup, a little 

 straight behind, but good forepart. Mr. Higgmson just 

 swept up the puppy awards with those mentioned and took 

 the open kennel prize and Wentworth Kennels the Canadian 

 one. 



Irish Terriers and Airedales (Mr. Davidson, Judge).— 

 Only one Airedale showed up, a fine one, good coat, head 

 fair, a little broad in skull. Jack Briggs and Galtees fur- 

 nished challenge winner in order named, there is no com- 

 petition between these two. Open dogs (6), the winner was 

 that capitally made dog Brickbat Jr., who is, however a 

 little on the large .side. The Canadian Ambassador, de- 

 scribed Ijefore, came in for second; he is large in ear, and 

 muzzle should be squarer. Southborough Paddy, third, I 

 did not see. Jack, has black on head, good body and coat, 

 but is light in bone. Ben, c, has no ears at all, a most cruel 

 act on some one's part. Killarney Girl has poor ears and 

 her eye is too Usht and full for a terrier, and she should 

 have more rib. Judy I liked better iu head and body. Nora II. 

 is faulty in head and front. Rugby Tim, the winning pup, 

 is a leggy, shelly, snipy dog, and Mick was at Lexington. 



Dandt Dinmonts (Mr. Davidson, Judge).— Mx. Brooks 

 showed the only specimens that were at all meritorious with 

 the exception of Raglan Sandy. Amphion is head and 

 shoulders above Ragl an Sandy, better head, body and coat. 

 Inkoski is not so goodiu coat and body as Sandy, but is 

 better in quarters, but was not well shown, having .sores. 

 Anisty Daisy won nicely from Thirsty, better iu head and 

 coat, the others were only moderate. Heather Peggy II. 

 will never be as good as her mother. The Heather dogs were 

 shown in good coat. 



Bedlingtons (Mr. Davidson, Judge). — An ordinary show 

 of these dogs. Jack, the winning dog, -was just good enough 

 to beat Peter Jackson, as the latter excels in head and ear.-:, 

 but loses in texture of coat and .something in body, legs equal', 

 but second has advantage in bone and muscle. Tallv-ho is 

 snipy and woolly-coated. Tibbie, the winning bitch, was 

 second last year; her coat is linty and she has many other 

 faults. Mattie, second, has a snipy muzzle and is bowed in 

 front, coat soft. Jeuny, third, has the best body and coat, 

 correct texture, of the lot; should have won. Polly III. is a 

 weedy, shelly, flat-loined bitch, with little pretension to 

 form. 



Scotch Terriers (Mr. Mason, Judge).— This was an ex-
