 year and pointed out how already a great improvement had 

 been noticed in the fox-terrier breed in Canada, and urged the

 club, and the objects for which it was formed. At the con-

 to Mr. German Hopkins, of Hempstead, N. Y., for his kind- 

 ness in lending the club the model of the fox-terrier for the 

 purpose of obtaining a copy to place on the trophies. 



Canadian Kennel Club Meetings. 



At the executive meeting, Sept. 11, in Richmond Hall, 

 there were present. Dr. Wesley Mills in the chair. Dr. J. S. 

 Niven, and Messrs. A. D. Stewart, Jas. Lindslay, H. Gorman, 

 and H. B. Donovan, secretary. 



Minutes of last meeting read. New members. — The sec- 

 retary was instructed to cast one ballot for the reception of 

 the following names: H. A. Ekers, A. F. Dunlop, Geo. R. 

 Hooper, Jno. Atkin, C. R. Christie, Jno. Auld, Chas. Wallace, 

 Frank Burton, Jas. H. Smith, A. J. Ferguson, Dr. W. J. 

 Prendergast, A. E. Mussen, Thos. H. Moore, Bartholmew 

 Wall, W. S. Gumming, AValter Wardle, Jr., W. H. Apted, 

 R. W. Tuck, Shirley Stewart, Jno. Smith, R. Northcote, 

 Jarvis Thompson, Jr., R. S. McDonald and H. S. Stephen- 

 son. 



World's Fair Accounts.— Re siiperintendent's account. 

 Letter read from Mr. Bedlington. Voted "That Mr. Stewart 

 having agreed to accept what the other members of the ex- 

 ecutive committee had received, a proportionate share of his 

 claim for services and expenses in connection with the selec- 

 tion of dogs for the World's Fair dog show, it is resolved 

 that his account be paid on that basis, Mr. Stewart placing 

 the $200 received from Mr. Awrey, Ontario Commissioner, 

 at the disposal of the Canadian Kennel Club for that pur- 

 pose." 



The Annual Meeting was held Sept. 13, in Richmond Hall, 

 the president, Dr. W'esley Mills, in the chair, and a large 

 number of members present. 



Secretary's report showed that registrations have come in 

 freely and show an increase over last year of 106. The total 

 number of dogs now on the register is over 3,000. 



The following figures will show exactly how the roll of 

 membership stands up to Aug. 1, 1898: Total number of 

 names on roll, 312; members who have paid fees for 1893, 139; 

 members who have paid fees for 1894, 55. Besides these there 

 are about 25 now applying for membership. 



Mr. Donovan was unable to announce the publication of 

 Volume II. of the Stud Book. So little support has been 

 accorded for this work that it would be impossible to put it 

 out except at a considerable financial lo.ss. The deficit on 

 the fli'st volume was so large that he could not, as a private 

 enterprise, undertake the publication of a second volume. 

 The registrations, however, have been published in the Ga- 

 zette (C. K. C.) each month or so. 



The constitution and by-laws have been thoroughly revised 

 and put in shape at a large expense of time and trouble on 

 the part of the executive. 



The finances of the club are in a healthy state as the treas- 

 urer's report will show. Though the balance is not as large 

 as shown last year, it is to be remembered that §110 was ex- 

 pended for diplomas, most of which are yet available. In ad- 

 dition to cash balance he estimates the club has property 

 valued at about $125, consisting of diplomas, stud books, etc. 

 The time has now, it seemed to him, arrived when a larger in- 

 come will be necessary to carry on the greatly increased work 

 in connection with the club. It is for the club to say how this 

 shall be accomplished. The report was adopted. 



The treasurer's report was read and showed a balance of 

 $17.50. After this the president's address came up for adop- 

 tion and was voted to he filed. 



Voted that M.-. Bedlington's motion re registration take 

 the place of No. 8 in revised constitution. 



Wording re stud book committee to be cut out of rule 3 of 

 constitution, and in by-laws Art. IL, Sec. 2, to insert "stud 

 book committee to report at annual meeting." 



Article 9 to read, "these by-laws may be suspended by a 

 two-thirds vote at any meeting." Add to No. 5 of constitu- 

 tion "twelve to be a quorum at a general meeting." 



Moved in amendment by Mr Stewart, seconded by Mr. 

 Prescott, that Sec. 1 of Clause 3 shall be amended to read as 

 follows: "No show held under the rules of the C. K. C. shall 

 extend beyond four days, reckoning from the hour of 10 

 o'clock in the forenoon of the opening day of the show, and 

 until 10 P. M. of the fourth or closing day." 



Amendment lost, motion carried. 



The election of officers then took place, Messrs. Wetherall 

 and Pitt acting as scrutineers, and resulted as follows: Pat- 

 ron, Hon. Senator Sanford; President, Dr. J. S. Niven, Lon- 

 don; First Vice-President, Mr. J. S. Williams, Toronto; Vice- 

 Presidents, Messrs. H. Gorman, Sarnia; P. G. Keyes, Otta-

THE MANITOBA FIELD TRIALS. 



The All-Age Stake. 



THE RUNlSriNG.— CONCLUDED. 

 THURSDAY. 



The start was rather late, and there was much indecision 

 as to which grounds to start on. The weather was unfavor- 

 able for good work, there being a strong wind all day. The 

 cloudy morning cleared up for a short time in the middle of 

 the forenoon. Afterward the weather gradixally thickened 

 up. Soon after the afternoon's work was start.ed light rain 

 .set in, but was not sufficient to stop the work. Birds were 

 scarce. The heats, therefore, had to be decided on few oppor- 

 tunities on birds. There were not sufficient birds about 

 Souris to run a field trial in a satisfactory manner. Eight or 

 ten bevies could be found at Morris for one found at Souris, 

 under the same conditions. There are other places in Mani- 

 toba which are known to have abundance of birds. It would 

 add greatly to the success of the trials if the club would 

 select a place where an abundance of birds were certain to 

 be found. 



The judge selected Chevalier, Ranger, Lochinvar, Atalanta, 

 Kent Elgm, Dick Bondhu, Bettie S., Count Gladstone and 

 Ightfield Blossom to run again. 



Chevaliek and Ranger began at 8:05. Ranger pottered 

 for several minutes before going industriously at work. 

 Chevalier pointed and roaded, but found nothing. He d rew to 

 a good point on a bevy and was backed. The birds flushed 

 wild. Down 23m. Ranger did not show the good form of 

 the previous day. Chevalier was far the better ranger. 



LocHlNVAK AND Atalanta Were started at 8:33. Lochin- 

 var took a cast ahead and dropped to a point. He moved 

 on to a turn to the edge of stubble and pointed a large bevy, 

 and was steady to shot. He next pointed three or four birds 

 and flushed twice. Atalanta ranged well, but apparently 

 had no finding abilities. Lochinvar had a wide range and 

 fast pace Up at 8:46. 



Kent Elgin and Dick Bondhu started at 8:51. Both did 

 some ragged work on birds. Soon after starting, Dick 

 wheeled to a good point on two birds on stubble, then wil- 

 fully sprung in and flushed. Kent, on plowed ground, 

 flushed some birds excusably dosvn wind. He ran fast and 

 seemed a bit reckless as to whether his work on birds was 

 good or bad. A bevy was seen to flush on opposite side of a 

 ridge where the dogs were. Next, Kent flushed a bevy and 

 acted badly. Some remaining birds were flushed by Dick. 

 He next pointed one. Up at 9:14, after a poor heat. 



Bettie S. and Ightfield Blossom were cast ofE at 9:18. 

 Bettie roaded and pointing a bird well, and Blossom flu.shed 

 a bevy across wind by the edge of stubble. Both were friv- 

 olous in their work at the start, taut became more attentive 

 and diligent as the heat progressed. Up at 9:42. 



Count Glad.stone was run twenty-two minutes without 

 finding though he ranged wide and beat out his ground well. 



Six dogs were selected to remain in the running, as follows: 

 Chevalier, Atalanta, Lochinvar, Dick Bondhu, Bettie S. and 

 Count Gladstone. 



CHEVALtEK AND Atalanta ran from 10:35 to 11:15 without 

 finding. The former showed much the better range and 

 judgment in selecting his ground. 



Lochinvar and Dick Bondhu began at 11:19 and were 

 taken up at 11:2(3, put in the wagon and taken to a new sec- 

 tion where chickens were said to be more abundant. They 

 were cast oft" at 11:50 and ran 15m. The new grounds were in 

 a valley and seemed to promise well from appearances, but 

 birds were far too scarce for field trial work. Lochinvar 

 pointed and was backed by Dick; nothing found. Dick 

 pointed a bird and Lochinvar backed. Dick broke in to shot. 

 He saw the bevy on mowed ground, burst in and flashed it. 

 Both ranged well. 



Bettie S. and Count Gladstone started at 13:13. Count 

 pointed twice and the bird flushed wild eaeh time. Bettie 

 made two good points and Count a flush. Up at 12:18. Count 

 had better range and speed and was more skillful in point 

 work and finding. 



Count Gladstone and Chevalier ran a few minutes, be- 

 ginning at 12:34, when the running was suspended for lunch. 

 At 1:37 the dogs were again ordered on. Count did some 

 creditable work twice in locating and pointing wild birds. 

 His range was wider and his work on birds was better, 

 though on point he was inferior to his competitor in style. 



The judge announced Count Gladstone first, Chevalier sec- 

 ond, Bettie S. third. The purse was ^150, of which -S2:35 went 

 to first, $135 to second, and -SlOO to third. 



The Amateur Stake. 



The running in this stake was begun immediately after the 

 All- Age was decided. It was open only to members living 

 in Manitoba and Northwest Territory. Dogs which had won 

 in any previous event and professional handlers were barred 

 from this stake. There were seven starter.s. The quality of 

 the work was from poor to ordinary. There were eight start- 

 ers, namely: F. W. Scott's Spotted Belle, J. B. Roberts's 

 Joe, J. H. Rose's Ranger, J. B. Roberts's Zero, D. M. Tel- 

 ford's Nellie, W. F. Ellis's Zuleika, R. Adamsou's Virden 

 Prince and E. McKenney's Jingo. The prizes were, to first 

 a silver cup valued at §.50, donated by the Hudson Bay Co.; 

 to second, a double-barreled shotgun, donated by J. Ashdown; 

 to third, a pair of slips, donated by E. P. Hutchins. All the 

 donors live in Winnipeg. 



The winners were all ordinary performers. 



The Running. 



Spotted Belle and Joe started at 3:17. The former was 

 handled by Mr. R. J. Gallagher. Neither ranged wide nor 

 fa.st. Starting at 3:17, the heat lasted 35m. Joe made two 

 points. Belle made two flushes. The work was inferior. 



Ranger and Zero started at 2;.58 and ran 29m. The former 

 was handled by Mr. R. S. Gallaugher, and being strange to 

 him, refused to work for him. Zero had many opportunities 

 to point birds in stubble, but flushed more than he pointed. 

 The work was inferior in character. 



Nellie and Zeuleika started at 3:30. They showed the 

 best pace and range of any. They worked about 45 minutes 

 before finding. Nellie did some blundering work on birds. 

 Up at 4:18 to be put down again. 



virden Prince had an injured foot and could not run. 



Jingo with Dick Bondhu for a running mate started at 

 4:15. Jingo flushed some birds. Followed the birds, and 

 Jingo flushed twice, after svhich he secured a point on one. 

 Then he worked out of control. 



Nellie and Zeuleika were run about five minutes. 

 Zeuleika pointed a bird, Nellie refused to back, worked ahead 

 and flushed, broke shot and chased. 



Zeuleika, Joe and Zero ran together at 5:30. Joe flushed 

 a covey. Zeuleika flushed a single. Zero was the best ranger. 

 Zero pointed a bird. Zeuleika flushed a bird. -Joe dropped 

 to wing. They ought to have pointed. Zeuleika flushed a 

 single. They were ordered up after a while. 



Zero first, Joe second, Zeuleika third. B. Waters. 



Benison Dead. 



Dr. Glazier lias lost his bloodhound Benison, but we trust 

 that this will not entail his relinquishing the breed.

 oft'ered big moue.y to Mr. H. Brooks for her return. Mr. 

 Brooks thinks if she is good enough to cross she is quite good 

 enough to stay, and America is the gainer. Mr. Brooks tells 

 us of a, pup by Kilcree that can smother any of his young 

 stock shown this fall. It is reserved for Madison Square 

 Garden next February.
