FOREST AND STREAM.

A Day at Hempstead. 



Ant one who is fonrl of animals, whether horses, cows, dogs 

 or even chickens, may find many worse places to spend a day 

 than at the Hempstead Farm, over whose destinies Mr. Jas, 

 Mortimer presides. 



One Thursday a short time since we felt the need of a little 

 unofficial outing, and accepting an invitation "almost gray 

 with age," so long and often tendered, we found much to 

 interest one the day through. It is uot our purpose to go 

 into any description of the Hempstead Farm Kennels, as it 

 is an oft told tale by this time. A four-mile drive from the 

 station and we arrived at the farm, where Conrad II. and 

 Woodmansterne Trefoil and a very likely looking dachshund 

 puj) by Jay, rushed out to welcome us. The collies men- 

 tioned are well known on the bench, aud their victories have 

 earned them the freedom of the farm, seemingly. They were 

 not in full coat, but looked in good health. 



It would be needless to describe all the dogs we saw. The 

 kennels shelter a little of almost everything canine, though 

 pointers and collies are the mainstays. There are, besides a 

 number of Russian wolfhounds, among them some promising 

 pups by Groubian out of Zmeika and a few fox-terriers, Irish 

 terriers, poodles, etc. In a yard of pointers we picked out 

 Hempstead Blossom, second at Providence, as an improving 

 sort. Another good youngster is Hempstead Luck, espe- 

 cially from the head back. Then Mr. Mortimer took us to 

 what may be well termed the nursery, letting out a yelping, 

 tearing crowd of wolfhounds, collies and smooth and wire 

 fox-terrier puppies from two to four months old. Out of 

 the din we picked a couple of nice three-months-old collies, 

 by Conrad II., one e-ipecially being very promising. Of 

 course we saw the "pillars of the stud""Duke of Hessen, 

 Kobert le Diable and that good bitch Wooltou Game, whose 

 son, Hempstead Duke, was that day running well down at 

 Newton. K C. 



Jumping into the trap Mr. Mortimer winked his "alter 

 ego," intimating that he had a surprise in store very soon in 

 the shape of some puppies out at walk. A drive of a mile or 

 two and stopping at a farmhouse he whistled up some 

 pointer and collie puppies. The pointers are by Sandford 

 Druid out of Hempstead Kit, four months old and as hand- 

 some a lot as one need wish to see. Two of them are especi- 

 ally promising, and if they go on as they have commenced 

 they will prove winners. The two collies are by Woodman- 

 sterne Trefoil out of Green Mountain Lass, and are six months 

 old. They are well grown, and while one shows a splendid, 

 long, thick coat, the other is the better looking aud is quite a 

 nice one. Knovying how a man continually seeing certain 

 dogs becomes a little sweet on individual .specimens, we held 

 our peace when Mr. Mortimer intimated that we were draw- 

 ing near to a chef (Va:uvre in the way of collies. Arriving 

 at another farmhouse, however, it did not take us the space 

 of a wink to pick out the apple of his eye from the three 

 young collies that rushed up to us. This is a sister of those 

 we saw at the fir.st place, and she is a beauty, especially well 

 grown, in fact, a large, lengthy bitch for her age, beautiful 

 head and expression, ears carried properly, nice coat aud 



food loin. She is bound to be a winner if she keeps her 

 ead. The other was fairly good, and a younger one by six 

 weeks, by Conrad II. out of an inferior bitch, is very promis- 

 ing. Coming home we stopped at another place, when the 

 last one of this good litter jumped up to greet us. It has a 

 capital head and coat, and excellent bone showed good rais- 

 ing. At another place we came across a very likely Irish 

 terrier pup by Larry. 



The ^isdom of putting puppies out at walk was very ap- 

 parent in the way these youngsters looked compared to the 

 others who had to take pot luck in the crowd at home. Re- 

 turning to the farm we saw a pack of beagles and among 

 them Glory and Millard, that did so well at the N. B. C. 

 trials of 1892. These are to be used as a subscription pack 

 and hunted by several of the hunting set around Ilempstead. 

 In the house we were introduced to a well-made young grej'- 

 hound, Norway Cross, by Norwegian out of Bueneritero, 

 and therefore a brother to the noted Buenarita. Siuce writ- 

 ing the above this dog won first at Newark show. 



After dinner we drove to Mr. German Hopkins's place, 

 about a mile from the village. On the way we called at Mr. 

 A. D. Lewis's stables, where a capital litter of beagles, by 

 Jester, was shown. Two of them I think have a future. 



Driving on we found "Our only German" ujj to his 

 knees in terriers of all ages and degrees of quality. We 

 have already described Mr. Hopkins's place and how well 

 adapted it is for a boarding kennel with its excellent exercis- 

 ing grounds and range of box stalls. Here was Raby Trigger, 

 looking in fine trim, and also the Forest and Stream pup 

 (champion Raby Mixer— Burlington Diadem) had evidently 

 found a good home, as he had grown almost out of remem- 

 brance in tbe last three months. Some likely cockers were 

 also running round. They are by Red Jacket. Ave believe. 

 One black and white is above the average. After a lively 

 scrimmage between the whole crowd of terriers that at one 

 time promised to be serious for one or two old bitches, and 

 that reminded us when we all tried to part them, of a 

 Thanksgiving football match when Yale tries the Deland 

 wedge, we adjourned to the house where with terrier gossip 

 and an examination of "German's" old country relics and 

 mementoes train time oame all too quickly, and bidding a 

 hasty good-bye we felt that one day at least had been well 

 aud enjoyably spent. 



Providence I>og Show. 



[Special Beport.] 



The fifth annual dog show of the Rhode Island Poultry 

 Association came to a close on Friday last. One hundred 

 and twenty-four dogs of good quality were entered, English 

 setters and cocker spaniels being the strong classes. C. H. 

 Jenks aud Dr. L. Burt olUciated respectively as superintend- 

 ent and veterinarian. The benching was of a poor sort and 

 the dogs lacked the room they should have had owing to the 

 poultry taking up the greater part of the ball. This was, 

 perhaps, because the committee were chickenmen and not 

 dogmen. This state of aifairs they mean to alter next year. 

 The attendance was uot bad considering the weather, which 

 was very far from pleasant. J. Otis Fellows judged all 

 classes aud seemed to give general satisfaction. 



Among the fanciers I noticed were Mr. Geo. W. Lovell.W. 

 Burke, German Hopkins, Dr. H. T. Thurber, H. S. Babcoek 

 A. H. Wakefield. J. P.Willey, F.W. Chapman, R. L. Keacb 

 W. F. Kenney, M.D., Mr. and Mrs. Spink, J. H. Boutelle, F, 

 Otto, Mrs. J. R. B. Hill, Miss S, A. Nickersou. 



Mastiffs did not draw. Abe, the only mastiil who turned 

 up, is not a bad dog, head fair and bhovviug good wrinkle, 

 feet and legs fair, coat too long and coarse, ears large, body 

 good, and if shown in good conditiou would be greatly im- 

 proved. 



In St. Bernards the puppy Eulalie was alone in her class, 

 and the only entry made in this breed, She is not a good 

 one, although she is fair in feet aud legs, coat aud color good, 

 but is too short in body, very snipy in muzzle and head too 

 flat; shown in good shape. 



In beagles the Glenrose Beagle Kennels had it all their own 

 way. Diamond Tartar won first in puppies; has a bad-ahaped 

 skull, is not straight in front, but may develop into a fair 

 dog, as he is only seven months old. Partheniaaud Gypsy A. 

 are both prize winners and have been described many times. 



hair terriers Oakleigh Brmser and Suffolk Tassel are well 

 known. Hill Hurst Rose is too wde in skull and coat soft: 

 she was the only puppy shown. 

 Mr. J. P. \Villey showed a strong team of cocker spaniels. 



as did Mr. F. W. Fiske. Jersey Obo, who won first in chal- 

 lenge dogs, is better in head than Bambo, but too long in 

 body. Bambo, second, is cloddy and bad in legs. Black 

 Duchess is well known and needs no comment. 



The balance of the classes require no mention as the win- 

 ners are generally known. The English setter cla.sses were 

 well filled, and Miss S. A. Nickerson showed her Gordons 

 Janet, Count Noble and Lady Noble, who all looked in the 

 pink of condition. 



Mr. Geo. W. Lovell, who had a nice kennel of pointers, had 

 it all to himself, among them being Wild Lily and Prince 

 Pontiac. Glen Rock Kennels showed Duke of Kent II. and 

 Twinkle, the former a many time winner. Twinkle is a fair- 

 looking dog, winning over Dan. Dan is a big dog and was 

 shown in splendid condition. J. P. P.

Toronto, Can.— At the annual meeting of the Sheep 

 Breeders' Association, which is taking place in Guelph this 

 week, I see by the programme that two of our well-lcuovvn 

 dogmen are down to read papers. Mr. Richard Gibson, who 

 is at home in any department of live stock, has prepared an 

 essay on "Breeding to Type" and Mr. W. Mole's, V.S., paper 

 is on "Goiter in Sheep." 



Mr. F. S. Wetherall, of Compton, Quebec, proposes at- 

 tending New York show, and any Canadian breeder who has 

 au entry or two to .send could not do better than communi- 

 cate with Mr. Wetherall, as he will have time to look after 

 a few others in addition to his own. 



Dr. James Lawrie, of Quebec City, is getting together a 

 nice little kennel of dachshunds and a few months ago 

 bought three reds, a dog and two bitches, from Mr. A. D. 

 Smith. Beaminster, Dorset, England. They are all of the 

 one litter, June 19, 1893. and are by Snapdragon II. (Snap- 

 dragon— Zenica) out of Nettlebury Sheila (Jackboot— Duck- 

 manton Dina Belle). Back of this ai-Q champions Yerga 

 and Jackdaw, and others as good. 



Beverwyck Ray, a neat smooth fox-terrier bitch, by Dob- 

 bin out of Beverwyck Moonray, has been added to Mr. A. 

 A. Macdonald's string. She was bred to champion Blemton 

 Trump before he left for California. 



Lord Aberdeen, the first prize rough-coated St. Bernard 

 puppy at the late Toronto show, has been disposed of by the 

 Bowmanville Kennels to Dr. Manes, of Sheffield, Ont. ' His 

 dam. Maypole, first open and first novice at same .show, 

 goes to Detroit, Mch, 



Mr. E. H. Caddy, Bedingston, Ont., is getting a nice dog 

 from C. H. Akerly, of Tonawanda, N. Y., in Lord Hualpa, 

 by Alton out of Keepsake. Mr. Caddy has also made one or 

 two recent purchases from local breeders. 



H. B. DONOVAOjT. 



The Cumberland Kennels will sell their dogs by auction 

 at Nashville on Dec, 31, Mi-. Goodman, the manager, was 

 busy at Chicago securing bids and, we believe, was quite 

 successful. Mr. Goodman will sever his connection with 

 the company Jan. 1, 1894. 



English Kennel Club Show. 



We add to our remarks of last week on this great English 

 event: 



The English setter judge. Rev. W. Serjeantson, after com- 

 plaining of the lack of feather and condition of many of 

 the exhibits explained by their keepers by '"'You see, .sir, he 

 has only just come down from the moors," that "Small and 

 light-boned bitches continue too much en evidence— sos^vQelj 

 the sort to produce big-boned oflrspring with size and sub- 

 stance." 



In retrievers he acknowledges that he was caught napping. 

 One of the dogs. Sapper, an excellent one, but throaty, was 

 put second to another good one. Blizzard, on this account, 

 but unfortunately the judge remarked to his handler that he 

 ought to ptill the collar up more. This the individual was 

 smart enough to do when he came in again, and the judge, 

 forgetting his previous decision and its cause, placed him 

 first over Blizzard, who had beaten Sapper in the previous 

 class. "How his keeper must have chuckled I" remarks the 

 reverend judge. 



Mr. Moses Woolland in writing of the spaniel entry con- 

 gratulates himself on the number shown— 13.5— and after 

 remarking that the exhibition on the whole waS excellent, 

 but not up to last year's form, touches on the question of 

 judging novice classes first. He says: "This is an innova- 

 tion I for one do not like. Often a forward puppy stands 

 out very prominently beyond the other juvenile competitors, 

 the result is an easy win, and it is not at all unlikely the 

 impression then made is calculated to give him a higher 

 place in the other classes than he would have otherwise 

 obtained." There is some sense in this. 



Mr. Geo. R, Krehl, who handled the collies, gives us some 

 good advice on the "Fancy— Utility" question that should 

 prove interesting reading and valuable if heeded: "There 

 was an exceedingly satisfactory gathering of the clans, and 

 upon making a calm review of the exhibits after the busy 

 judging day had passed over, I was gratified to observe that 

 the collies at the Kennel Club bore evidence to the success 

 of the recent crusade against Barzoi heads. The fancier was 

 pulled tip just in time, and had the sounding of the danger 

 note been postponed, the movement in favor of long and 

 narrow heads, with prick ears, would have gained a momen- 

 tum almost impossible to arrest. However beautiful we 

 may breed our collies, let us always bear in mind that they 

 are sheepdogs, a working breed, and let us resist the efforts 

 of the lucre-led crew who seek to reduce the collie to the 

 level of a fancy breed. We can breed a good collie and show 

 him honestly, and so have no need to acquire the petty wiles 

 and paltry artifices that do not elevate the exhibition of 

 some 'fancy' dogs. With pups it is different, their narrow 

 skulls develop with age and assume the proper shape, but 

 in the old dogs I think I was able to find winners with 

 brain-room and intelligent collie expression. Breeders, in 

 their craze for a very small and highly-carried ear, have 

 nearly lost the characteristic ear of the collie, which should 

 not be too small and only semi-erect with the tips carried 

 sideways," 



Speaking of the novice winner Gold Dust he makes use of 

 a good expression, "Dingo ear" in describing his fashion- 

 able ear that is almost pricked. Putley Don, the new crack, 

 is spoken of as being too short in the coupling— not having 

 liberty enough — otherwise he would be near perfection. 

 When Great Gun, Southport Pilot and Stracathro Ralph 

 met in the winners' class the latter was palpably out of it, 

 did not .'^how himself properly— too lethargic. "Southport 

 Pilot is a very lovely little creature, but his vanquisher has 

 the better of him in working qualities. Great Gun's flag 

 was afterward lowered by Chorlton Prescilla, who surpasses 

 him in collie character and is better in front." 



The dachshund judge, Mr. Montague Wootten, gives a 

 volumnious report on his classes, but space forbids our giv- 

 ing more than his comments on the breed generally. He 

 writes: "In commencing my review of this breed, 1 wish to 

 point out that, as far as possible, I give the preference to 

 dogs that are sound, and at the same time of the correct 

 type, rather than to those that, while perhaps excelling in 

 head properties, are such cripples that they can hardly 

 stand still, let alone walk. I believe that knuckling over is 

 hereditary, while being out at elbows is to a large extent de- 

 pendant on rearing. Consequently the former, in my 

 opinion, is a worse fault than the latter, though an out-at- 

 elbows dog is not much use for a dach.shund'8 work." 



About Jackdaw he says, "I have only the usual thing to re- 

 port—he was present and he won. Despite his seven years 

 the little marvel is as sound and fresh as ever he was, and 

 romped in later for the championship and challenge cup." 



Mr. Pybus-Sellon gives a good report of his bulldog classes, 

 and when he comes to the winners' class delivers himself of a 

 little screed on the question of whether Dockleaf is a crrip- 

 ple or not. We remark, however, that he has nothing to say 

 about this dog's failure to negotiate much distance in the 

 recent walking match. He says: "Winners' class, under 

 4.51bs., only contained Dockleaf and Forceps. The latter 

 looked like a dying dog and had to be taken out of tbe show. 

 The winner, Dockleaf, became famous becattse on his first 

 appearance the Field wrote that he was a cripple, deformed 

 in forequarters, and should never be admitted to the prize 

 list. The value of this reporter's eccentric notices can be 

 gauged from the fact that the dog has since had an unbeaten 

 record, has won all possible honors under seven different 

 club judges of the highest standing, all of which have been 

 emphatic in condemning this extraordinary aud misleading 

 report. Whatever failings the dog may have, I unhesitatingly 

 say that his gait, swing, roll and action are perfect, aud the 

 judge who can find any fault in this respect must indeed be 

 hard to please. Talking of cripples, I have heard British 

 Monarch. Diogenes and Cervantes stigmatized as such by 

 certain fanciers aud more than one well known judge. With 

 such men it is useless to argue. These are the stamp and 

 type of dog to be bred up to and encouraged, and long may 

 they flourish to the discomfiture of the coarse, cabbage eared, 

 haw-eyed, pointer-legged, terrier-bodied specimens which 

 were so pushed to the front and held up as 'models' by the 

 Field reporter a few years ago." 



The most notable new appearance in smooth fox-terriera 

 was High Spirits, the winner in novice dogs, puppy and limit 

 classes. Mr. F. Redmond speaks highly of him, but hardly 

 thinks he is enough terrier, and his head should be longer. 

 In the winners' class Venio and Vice Regal came together 

 and we let Mr. Redmond explain his decision: "Winners' 

 class brought out Vice Regal and Venio; both were put 

 down in the pink of condition, but the old dog, although he 

 lost points in size, scored decidedly in feet, pasterns, shoul- 

 ders and quarters, which gave him the award. Vice Regal 

 is not the dog he was; he has deteriorated most decidedly in 

 feet and pasterns, and he has not improved in shoulders and 

 chest." 



In wires Prompter beat Jack St. Leger and took the chal- 

 lenge cup also. In Irish terriers the show was a record one, 

 and Mr. Pirn speaks very highly of a new one, Brunby's 

 Briar Paddy Malone: "First very easily; grand head, coat, 

 color, body, legs and feet, he has only one fault, a lightish 

 eye, but if he gets over the ills of puppyhood he may win all 

 before him." 



Mr. Clear's Breda Nuxis was the particular star of the 

 show and won all before him. Space does not admit of our 

 noticing the other breeds this week. 



Mr. E. B. Elliott sold the well known Chesterford Flurry, 

 first m open bitches, to a new foxterrier fancier, Mr. W. H 

 Collins, of Chicago, who has a small kennel of sixteen 

 already and is getting more from the East. A good fox- 

 terrier kennel should do wall in Chicago.
