FOREST ANt) StflEAM. 



[I)EO. 30, 1808. 



bbtained this dog from Mr. Schillcocfe, and that he had notified the 

 bankers to refuse payment of the draft, and at the same time he was 

 telling Mr. Schillcock that it was the banker's fatilt that the draft was 

 not paid. There was no one outside of Mr Belmont, Mr. Vreden burgh, 

 Mr. Anthony and myself who were acquainted with those facts. We 

 are in a certain sense a court of law. We give a decision. Some per- 

 son wants to reopen the case. What do you do? You bring new evi- 

 dence. This man owes £40. There is the protested draft. There is 

 the statement of this man that he ordered this draft to be paid, and 

 yet he is still writing to these bankers not to pay this draft. I protest 

 on behalf of Mr. Schillcock against the reinstatement of Mr. Patterson, 

 and request that some action be taken in the matter. 



Mr. Vhedenbuhgh — I would like to state for the information of Mr, 

 Watson, that when this case was brought up I suggested that as the 

 case had been tried by the advisory committee, this man's appeal 

 should, out of courtesy' to the advisory committee, be referred to it so 

 that if that committee saw any good reason why it should reinstate 

 Mr. Patterson, they could do so. The meeting would not act on that 

 suggestion, and they stated that it was the sense of that meeting that 

 Mr Patterson had been sufiaciently punished for his misconduct, and 

 that he should be reinstated. Mr. Patterson was reinstated. 



Mr. Morris— And it was also in view of the decision of the executive 

 committee that these monetary matters should not be acted upon by 

 the executive committee. 



The Chair— That resolution was rather ex post facto. I must say 

 I thought it was one of the most amazing pieces of legislation that 

 could be done. This man puts in circulation a printed paper in which 

 he sought to defend himself, but which was siniply an acknowledg- 

 ment of that with which he had been charged. He bought this bitch 

 and sent a draft for her, which he afterward ordered cancelled, and 

 said the bitch had not been served. I suggest that the better way 

 would be to appeal to the American Kennel Club as a club. 



Mr. Watson— I give notice now that I will bring the matter before 

 the next annual meeting. 



Mr. Morris brought up Rule 1 of the dog show rules and moved that 

 the secretary be appointed a committee of one to act upon dates. 

 Motion seconded and carried. 



In the matter of the investigation made to ascertain what compact, 

 if any, has been entered into between the trunk lines and the express 

 companies in regard to free transportation of dogs in charge of their 

 owners, which was somewhat fully discussed, Mr. Morris moved that 

 a committee be appointed to treat with the express companies and 

 trunk lines in order to bring about some more equitable rates for 

 exhibitors. Motion seconded and carried. 



The chairman appointed as such committee Messrs. Morris, Webster 

 and Dr. Foote. 



Dr. Foots- Before the meeting is adjourned I desire to call atten- 

 tion to the action of Dr. L. R. Sattler at the Newark show recently 

 held. According to the papers grave charges are made against Dr. 

 Sattler to the effect that he surreptitiously took one of Mr. Belmont's 

 dogs to serve one of his own. I understood he was expelled by his 

 own club for so doing. I think it is a matter which the American 

 Kennel Club should take some notice of. 



Mr. Morris— I can say on behalf of the New Jersey Kennel League 

 that on the matter coming to our attention we insisted that he should 

 pay the fee, and then we afterward had a hearing in the case and 

 expelled him from the club. This is as far as we have gone. 



Dr. Foote — If that is all that has been done there is nothing to 

 prevent this man from going on and showing his dogs. I think that 

 a man who stoops to such a thing as that should not be allowed to 

 show dogs. 



Mr Schellhass— I move that it is the sense of this meeting that 

 the New Jersey Kennel League shall prefer charges against Dr. 

 Sattler to the American Kennel Club for investigation. 



Motion seconded and carried. 



The meeting then adjourned. 



Field Trial Reports. 



We have received a long letter for publication from Maj. 

 J. R. Purcell la regard to alleged incorrect reporting of cer- 

 tain heats in the field trials of 1893 and '93 in a Western pa- 

 per. While Maj. Purcell seems to have some cause for com- 

 plaint according to the published accounts of the same heats 

 m the FoPvEST AND Stream, which he quotes as bearing out 

 Ms contention, we do not deem the letter sulBciently inter- 

 esting to the general reader to publish it in ext*nso. 



There is one part of his letter that we may allude to here. 

 He .says that at the club room at Lexington, N. C., during 

 the Central field trials of 1892, a meeting was held by the 

 handlers and the following resolution drawn up: "That 

 Whereas, Published reports of work done by bird dogs run- 

 ning in the public trials have so often been untrue as to vari- 

 ous dogs, misleading to the public, damasing to the reputa- 

 tions of handlers and injurious to the interests of owners, 

 therefore it is Resolved, That we demand of the sportsmen's 

 papers that such reports contain the truth, the whole truth, 

 and nothing but the truth." Maj. Purcell was elected secre- 

 tary, but he says he refrained from making such resolutions 

 public because it was thought that the mere fact of such 

 action having been taken would be suflicient to correct the 

 abuses complained of; besides, he felt that gentlemen to 

 whom this was not intended to apply might feel that they 

 were indirectly reflected upon. We think, however, if such 

 feeliug existed among the handlei-s and others that some 

 specific action should have been taken by advising the pub- 

 lic of the direct cause for complaint and names of the jour- 

 nal or journals that transgressed. 



A field trial reporter has a difficult task to fulfill at the 

 best, and handlers and others .should bear in mind the fact 

 that men do not all view the work of field dogs from the 

 same standpoint, and that, as Mr. Waters has often con- 

 tended, a knowledge of ordinary field work does not neces- 

 sarily make a man a field trial handler, judge or reporter. 

 Field trial work is in a clas.s by itself and should be so consid- 

 ered. Judging from Major Purcell's letter, however, Forest 

 AND Stream was not included in the list of transgressors. 

 We have perfect confidence in the honesty and fairness of 

 our own field ti'ial reports. We have no axe to grind nor 

 any one kennel to boom; our sole desire is to boom the 

 Forest and StreAJI among field trial men and dog breeders 

 generally, and this we are convinced can only be done by 

 acting in a fair spirit to all. It is not our fault if another 

 journal has shown favoritism. We are in receipt of another 

 letter asking us to expose the same reporter and journal'.s 

 alleged biassed report of certain running at Bicknell last 

 month. Forest and Stream will always welcome any 

 healthy discus.sion among field trial men in regard to the 

 character and importance of work done in field trials or the 

 merits of, for instance, the pointer a^s. the setter, or vice 

 verm. But personal contentions, of no earthly value to any 

 one but those directly intere.sted, and which .surely lead to 

 mutual recrimination, can find no place in these columns. 

 This fact is well understood by this time and that is why 

 Forest and Stream does not weary, but interest, the 

 general reader. 



Lady Mignon is Not Sa-vage. 



Editor Forest and Stream: 



I am the owner of the celebrated St. Bernard Lady Mignon 

 and her litter brother Councellor Joe. The former I notice 

 in your last week's issue was made popular through drawing 

 blood in biting Mr. Reick at the Birmingham show. In 

 justice to her ladyship I wish to state that she is as beautiful 

 In temper as in appearance except on the show bench, where 

 she has had to undergo such admiration during the past sea- 

 son in England, in consequence of being always the prize 

 winner, that she never gets a chance of being rested. People 

 are so in the habit of poking her to wake her up that she has 

 become tired of it. I am, however, very sorry and expressed 

 myself so to Mr. Reick, that she should select him of all 

 people to bite. I had been busy showing her in the various 

 classes and had left her a few minutes when it took place.

Death of Senta. 



Mr. J. H. Lawrence, owner of Kennel Lawrence, has sus- 

 tained severe loss in the death of his great Dane bitch Senta, 

 which he recently purchased from Mr. Glynn. Senta died of 

 pneumonia ten hours after her return from Chicago show. 

 Earl of Wurteraburg is also down with the same complaint, 

 • l>ut Mr. Lawrence expects to pull him through. 



Akron Dog Show, Dec. 19 to 22. 



especial ReportO 



The Akron Poultry and Kennel Club's first show was held 

 last week, and while not a success financially, it was a very 

 good start in the right direction. Next year Akron should 

 come into some good circuit and offer "cash prizes. The 

 benching was of the old style wooden stalls, but was made 

 of nice clean lumber, surfaced on both sides, which added 

 to the appearance very much. The stalls were kept clean 

 and well disinfected. Among the exhibitors I noticed Mrs. 

 Lee, T. A. Howard, Dr. F. H. Hoyt, C. Klocke. Gale Good, 

 Dr. J. R, Daniels, Luther Cole, F. H. Morris, A. Asire, Joe 

 Deiter, Geo. Ratters, Fred Pastre, Geo. Mooney (secretary 

 Columbus Fanciers' Club), A. J. C. Smith, Mr. Orr, of the 

 Dwight Gordon Kennels. 



Dr. F. H. Hoyt made a fine exhibit of Italian greyhounds, 

 and succeeded in disposing of a couple of puppies, Mr. A, J. 

 C. Smyth sold two Gordon setter puppies and several others 

 made sales. Mr. Davidson judged all classes and, as usual, 

 gave satisfaction. 



Mastiffs were a poor lot with the exception of two mon- 

 grel puppies; only one faced the judge, Caesar D., who is a 

 shabby, poor-headed specimen. 



St. Bernards were one of the strongest classes in the 

 show. jSTo challenge entries filled. In open rough dogs 

 Grand Master, shown in rather light flesh, won easily from 

 American C^sar, who is recovering from his Chicago lame- 

 ness. Rough bitches showed lo the winner; she is well 

 known. Second went to Juliet, a typical bitch, but losing 

 in size and substance to the winner. The reserve w^ent to a 

 daughter of Lord Bute and Ellen Terry, a big roomy bitch 

 whose place is in the nursery. The open smooth class showed 

 a good young specimen in Nero Prank, of the celebrated 

 Keeper strain. Should he go on right he can do some win- 

 ning. Pliny made rather a poor second. Lady Judith, the 

 Chicago winner, was alone in her class and was awarded 

 first. She is a typical specimen. 



Great Danes.— All the six entries, made by the Kennel 

 Lawrence, were absent, owing to illness. 



Pointers.— There was a strong entry for a small show, and 

 mo.st of the winners are well known. 



English Setters. — There was only one challenge entry. 

 Zona. She was lucky to have no competition, as she is not 

 up to challenge form. Open dogs saw MacMurdo first over 

 Tilt; the latter is coarse and light in eye. The winner scores 

 in type and general character. In open bitches Bessie Hill 

 was rightly placed, I thought, over Daisy B. II., reversing a 

 former decision. The former scores considerably in head 

 and ear, losing to Daisy in spring of ribs and loin. She^as 

 shown, however, in very light flesh. 



Irish Setters.— Kildare Beverly was the only entry in 

 open dogs and was awarded the blue. In open bitches Bessie 

 Fenmore scored easily over Belle of Kildare; the latter was 

 ragged in coat and light in color. The winner is a good 

 typical bitch, good in head and color, but light in eye. 



Gordons had no challenge entries. In open class Heather 

 Lad, a handsome specimen, won; he is well known. Second 

 went to a new one, Judge S.; he is just in from a two 

 month's hunt, and in no form to show. He is a good dog, 

 but light in eye and tan. In open bitches. Heather Effie won 

 easily over Mont Rose, who is bad in head and ear. The 

 winner has been described before. 



Cockers were a local entry, and would not give a very 

 good account of themselves with outside competition. 



Collies were a poor lot too, all Akron dog ■<. The best of 

 the lot was Countess Bertha, who was awarded the blue. 



Bull-Terriers had only two entries. Barney B., well 

 known, was alone in his class, while Lady Diana held the 

 same position in hers. 



Dachshunds were a strong entry. Fritz K. was alone in 

 challenge class. Mr. Klocke showed a strong team of four, 

 winning in both open dog and bitch classes. 



Pugs — Casina, in good condition, was alone and won iu 

 challenge class. Open dogs found the Chicago winner Drum- 

 mer an easy first; he is a good pug and has been described. 

 In bitches Miss Decima, who was rather unlucky at Chicago, 

 scored easily over Diamond Bessie. The winner is a grand 

 muzzled little bitch, cobby and short in body. A. L.

POINTS AND FLUSHES. 



IBy a Staff Corres^ondenfl 



In the matter of the replevin suit to establish "the owner- 

 ship of four doa:-?, replevined at the Chicago Kennel Club's 

 show by Mr. Marmaduke Woods, Mr. Wm. Potter, the de- 

 fendant, won the suit. 



The auction of dogs at the Chicago Kennel Club's show 

 did not meet with the success anticipated. The bidding was 

 very slow and the prices low. Mr. T. Donoghue acted as 

 auctioneer. No better one could have been secured. The 

 public, however, were not in a purchasing mood, and the 

 auction was a failure. There is a belief among owners that 

 an auction sale tends to the injury of breeders, since the lo'w 

 prices and larger number of inferior specimens offered create 

 a false impression in regard to values or merit. 



Mr. Thos. John.«on has received a letter from Mr. Wm. 

 Brailsford, informing him that Musa and Dogwood reached 

 Ightfield in safety. He writes: "They have arrived here 

 looking so fresh and well that one can scarcely believe they 

 have even left the kennels, much more that they have 

 returned from a tramp of 10,000 miles." He further wrote: 

 "We had a big shoot last Tuesday, 1,005 pheasants and other 

 B. Waters. 



DOG CHAT. 



A Happy New Year. 



A Happy New Year to all onr readers, and may their dogs 

 live long in the land and multiply abundantly. 



Champion Fritz Dead. 



We have been asked recently what had become of cham- 

 pion Fritz. We regret to say a letter from Mr. Wickery, of 

 Pittsburgh, Pa., informs us that ho died Dec. 17, of pneu- 

 monia. He was generally counted Beaufort's best son. 



Death of Champion Novel. 



Mr. C. T. Sacket, of Cape Vincent, N. Y., has lost his 

 cocker bitch Champion Novel. She died Dec. 23, from a 

 stroke of paralysis. Mr. Sacket will not look back upon 1893 

 with any great regard as far as his dogs are concerned. He 

 first lost Eve and a flue litter by Prince W.; then Champion 

 Rabbi went, and after him a nice little "red one," with her 

 pups. AVe wish Mr. Sacket better luck in 'O-i. 



Business is usually dull dtiring Christmas week, bat 

 there is no reason why there should not be a lively trade in 

 dogs for presents. A reference to our business cohimns will 

 afford ample choice. This week we find among the new ads. 

 that H. L. Kreuder offers broken and unbroken beagles; 938 

 Prospect avenue, choice setters; A. E. Seidel, trained pointer; 

 F. G. Tripp, small bull-terriers; E. F. Beach, rough-coated 

 St. Bernard; E. Baldwin, pointer pup; W. P. Boyle, sport- 

 ing dogs; G. P. Wiggin. St. Bernard pups; F. McGough, 

 beagles. At stud; S. J. Rogers o£['(-ts the prize-winning 

 wire fox-terrier Ebor Larchmont; Exchange, champion 

 Schread, beagle, for ferrets or wildcat. 



Correction. 



In our tabulated list of field trial winners, in Irish setter 

 trials the winner of second in the Derby should be J. B, Blos- 

 som's Nugget II., by Finglas— Betsy Craft. While no one 

 regrets more than we do when errors creep into such reports, 

 there is no little wonder that more mistakes are not made 

 when we consider the slipshod method in which some of the 

 field trial entries are sent in for publication. There can be 

 no excuse whatever, though, for the arrant stupidity exhib- 

 ited by a Western journal which comes out a week behind 

 our list, and withal turns bitches into do^js, as for instance 

 in the Gordon Setter Trials' All-Aged Stake, where Jolly G. , 

 the winner, is put down as a dog when every one outside of 

 that office knows she is a bitch. Needless to say such records 

 are wholly unreliable. 



White Wonder's Deafness. 



The bull-terrier White Wonder, of whose rettu-n to his 

 native country Forest and Streajvi advised its readers some 

 time since, was disqualified at the Birmingham show for 

 deafness, as at Boston iu 1800. The case is attracting much 

 attention on the other side, as the eminent "vet,," Mr. 

 Sewell, has certified to the dog's owner that while the dog is 

 deaf he is by no means entirely deaf. Mr. Pegg, the owner 

 of the dog, has appealed to the Birmingham committee from 

 the decision of the judge at the show named, and if a .satisfac- 

 tory decision is not arrived at he will take the case before 

 the Kennel Club. Then we shall hear probably what tests, 

 etc., have been used to prove that the dog can hear. White 

 Wonder was never shown here after it was proved he was 

 deaf at Boston in 1890. 



At the next field trials of the English Kennel Club, to be 

 held April 3, an innovation will be adopted by the judges 

 which seems to commend itself. They will give certificates 

 of merit in the Derby to dogs, other than those successful 

 enough to get into the money, that give^promise of making 

 valuable field dogs, with a view to provide workers' classes 

 at the dog shows and as a guide to purchasers. 



According to Stock-Keeper (Eng.), Mr. Henry S. Loud, of 

 Chicago, has purchased from Mr, W". J. Mason, of England, 

 the bull-terrier bitch Flower of the Valley, winner at Ciren- 

 cester and Gloucester, and dam of Lady Loo Loo, winner of 

 challenge cup at Birkenhead, etc. 



Another important sale was consummated at the close of 

 the Chicago show. JVLr. Schallenberger of Alma, Neb., dis- 

 posed of his noted rough coat St. Bernard Aristocrat to Mr. 

 Frank Anderson of Chicago. Mr. Anderson has a good dog 

 and one that has done well in the stud, and is not too old to 

 yet stamp his progeny with type and quality. 



Death of C. O. D. 



It is with great regret that we learn of the death of Cau- 

 tion's Own Daughter, as much for the loss which the mastiff
