FOREST AND STREAM. 



Pas. 13, 1894. 



W. K. C. Judges. 



The remaining judges for the Westminster Kennel Club 

 show are announced as follows: Bulldogs, E, A. Woodward, 

 Chicago, 111.; bull -terriers, C. Albert Stevens. New York 

 City. Smooth fox-terriers, T. S. Bellin, Albany, N. Y. 

 English foxhounds, A. Belmont Purdy, Garden City, L. I. 

 Mr. Woodward is the secretary of the Bulldog Club and has 

 owned King Lud, Harper, and still owns some very good 

 ones. Bull-terrier men will be pleased no doubt to see Mr. 

 Stevens in the ring; he exhibited prominently several years 

 ago' and Mr. Bellin is well known in his fancy. No better 

 choice probably could have been made than Mr. Purdy for 

 foxhounds; he has always taken a great interest in fox- 

 hunting, has been an M. P. H., in fact we believe was the 

 organizer of the first hunt club on Long Island. Writing 

 hurriedly we are afraid we did Dr. Cryer a little injustice 

 last week. We know that Dr. Cryer is one of our very oldest 

 fanciers, but we have so generally associated him with pugs 

 in late years that we forgot that he had judged poodles at 

 Brooklyn and Chicago and was one of the earliest to import 

 Skyeterriers. The premium list will not be ready for a 

 week or so. Mr. Mortimer tells us that while the money 

 prizes will not be quite as large, the classification will be 

 increased. Entries will close Feb. 5. 



Spratts Co. have secured a loft in Chicago, where they have 

 stored benching for about 800 dogs, and this will be used for 

 i he Western shows. They have long considered such a move, 

 owing to the exorbitant freight charges to which they were 

 subjected in bringing their material from New York and also 

 the uncertainty of getting it to the shows in time. Dogmen 

 who have come in contact with Mr. C. Coleridge Yickery, the 

 genial assistant manager of the company, will regret to learn 

 that he severs his connection with the firm in March. Mr. 

 Vickery has had an offer from the other side, but prefers re- 

 maining here for the present. 



We hear that the Chicago Kennel Club show was over 

 $1,000 behind. This will surprise most of those who were 

 there, as the attendance, though not as good as formerly, was 

 fairly good, and the show was open five days. We under- 

 stand that prize money was not all paid. 



The premium list of the Mascoutah Club's show will be 

 out Jan. 20. It is expected to be the best yet offered in the 

 West. We should like to see the club give another good 

 show, and after the year's rest they should attack the problem 

 with renewed vigor. The club room is No. 952 Monadnock 

 Building, Chicago. 



There is little prospect of a show in Pittsburgh this year, 

 owing to the Duquesne Club's inability to secure a suitable 

 building. The club tried to secure the Home Building on 

 Penn avenue, but failed. Rather than not have a show at 

 all why not use the old rink, where so many good shows have 

 been held heretofore? 



A Mastiff for the Mikado. 



Mr. Chas. E. Bunn writes that the scarcity of sales at Chi- 

 cago show did not affect his kennel, for he sold more dogs 

 there than at any show he ever attended. He disposed of 

 three at good prices. These, included Eole, the winner of 

 . second in the open bitch class, which went to Mr. F. E. Wal- 

 ler, of Chicago, and a bitch pup to Mr. F. W. Sandborn, of 

 Oak Park. The third was sold to Mr. S. Schida. Mr. Schida 

 is a Japanese gentleman; in fact, he is the Royal Commis- 

 sioner to the Mid- Winter Fair at San Francisco, and he in- 

 tends to take the pup to Japan with him as a present for his 

 royal master. Mr. Bunn is also waiting for a few details to 

 complete a sale of a pair to go to the City of Mexico. He 

 adds, "So you see, at present 1 have no reason to complain, 

 and am doing my share to make America hold her own in 

 dogs." 



Heavy Mastiffs. 



The mastiff bitch Boss's Princess, owned by Mr. J. L. 

 Winchell, must be a giantess in her way. The other day she 

 was weighed by the weigh master of the town and tipped 

 the beam at 2051bs., and as she has a litter ol pups is not in 

 good shape and could be estimated to weigh, according to 

 her owner, 301bs. more. She measures 80in. from tip of nose 

 to tip of tail, stands full 32in., girth 44in. (tight). Mr. Win- 

 chell sends us an interesting letter which, however, must 

 lie over until next week. Boss's Princess has been sbowu 

 but once and then at Brooklyn, when she won second and 

 also took the special for best mover, 



We are sorry to hear of the death of Mr. Geo. Douglas's 

 Woodland Queen. She is renowned as a matron of cockers, 

 counting such celebrated winners as champion Black Duke, 

 champion Black Duchess, champion King Pharo's Sister, 

 Silver King and Compton Bandit among her progeny. Mr. 

 Douglas thinks she is the last of the old Tippoo strain, Wood- 

 stock Dinah dying last spring. This well known cocker man 

 ran up to Detroit last week to have a look at Pickpania, who 

 is coming so rapidly to the front, and thinks him a much im- 

 proved dog over his Toronto form. He congratulates himself 

 that he owns a younger brother by Black Duke out of Wood- 

 land Jade, that "will make them all skate.'' By the way, 

 the veteran Joe Spracklin has something up his sleeve and 

 has been beard to remark lately that all the spaniel men will 

 have to take off their hats to him at New York next month. 

 Mr, Spracklin forgets there are some ladies in the fancy, too. 



The Fanciers' Journal property will be sold at auction on 

 the 16th. If not disposed of in a whole, the plant and good 

 will, etc., will be sold separately. The paper will not be 

 published again under the present management. 



In our report of the International field trials we referred 

 to the scarcity of birds and its cause, and hinted that the 

 club grounds would probably be restocked. Mr. Wells, the 

 secretary of the club and a game commissioner of Ontario, 

 now proposes that a purse be raised among the lovers of the 

 dog and gun in Chatham, and with the fund import quail 

 from Virginia, where they can be bought for $5 a dozen. 

 The subscribers to the fund will then be asked to unite in 

 renting a preserve of 1,000 acres, with privileges exclusively 

 secured, in which the birds will be turned loose to breed 

 and multiply. The proposition is cordially indorsed, and 

 the scheme will doubtless be at once put into effect. 



N. E. K. C. Meeting and Dinner. 



The monthly meeting and annual dinner of the New 

 England Kennel Club took place on Thursday evening last 

 at the Revere House, Boston. Among those present were 

 Samuel Hammond, Jr., in the chair, John P. Barnard, Dr. 

 J. Frank Perry, James Greene, Sid D. Brackett, Arthur R. 

 Sharpe, Herbert Merr'aua, Harry W. Smith, Andrew B. 

 Cobb, J. W. Newman, F. M Curtis, Jean Grosvesnor and 

 Secretary D. E. Loveland. The daily press was represented 

 by Walter Barnes, of the Journal; George S. Mandell, of the 

 Transcript; George Ryan, of the Globe; W. A. Power, of the 

 Traveler; J, M. Kelley, of the Post, and W. B. Atherton. 

 We regret to hear that owiug to illness Mr. Ed Brooks and 

 Mr. George Fletcher were unable to attend. The business 

 meeting did not take up much time and the party soon 

 marched to the dinner table, when, after behaving like good 

 and true dogmen, the evening was given up to speeches, 

 reminiscences of dogdom, etc. Dr. J. Frank Perry and Mr. 

 Herbert Merriam, who has just returned from a shooting 



trip in the South, were the principal* spea*kers. Other 

 speakers followed, and one and all congratulated themselves 

 and others that they were alive, and dogmen at that. 

 Secretary Loveland promised several improvements at the 

 coming show and assured every one that the same demo- 

 cratic spirit would prevail as made their show last year so 

 popular. 



There seems to be lots of bargains in our business columns 

 this week. Avent & Thayer Kennels offer for sale field trial 

 winners and shooting dogs, deer hunting hounds, etc.; S. H. 

 Socwell, field pointers; C. T. Brownell, Gordon setter puppies; 

 Kennebec Valley Kennels, pointers; E. W. Fiske, cocker 

 spaniels; Toon & Thomas, prize-winning dogs; Terra Cotta 

 Kennels, Russian wolfhound pups; T. G. Davey, broken 

 pointers and setters; J. J. Scanlan, several well-bred Irish 

 setters; F. F. Dole, noted bulldogs; J. Hope, pointers and 

 Irish setters; Standard Kennels, beagle pups; Samuel Jagger, 

 the noted St. Bernard Councillor Joe, litter brother to the 

 celebrated Lady Mignon; Goshen Stock Farm, beagles, fox- 

 hounds, etc.; J. B. Cook, trained foxhound; J. Fox, Lewellyn 

 setter pups: National Beagle Kennels, beagles; P. Bauer, coon 

 dogs, etc ; J. H. Miller, trained f axhounds. In the stud: P. 

 Dorsey's celebrated beagles. 



Mr. George Raper, the well known judge, was married 

 Dec. 27 to Mrs. Mordue, of Norman by, Yorkshire. Friends 

 of Mr. Raper on this side the water will, we are sure, join 

 us in wishing Mr. Raper and his bride every prosperity and 

 happiness. 



It is rumored that a new dog paper is shortly to come out. 

 It is not stated where it will go in. 



Contrary to general report the Swiss Mountain Kennels' 

 St. Bernard bitch Sunraydid not whelp at the Chicago show. 

 In fact she was taken home and did not whelp until the mid- 

 dle of the week afterward, and then one dead pup. She was 

 too fat when bred and was kept in that condition afterward. 

 This kennel will show a strong team at Saratoga next week. 



It is reported that Mr. Sidney Smith intends coming over 

 for the New York show. 



Mr. A. W. Smith, of Buffalo, N. Y, has sold out his inter- 

 est in the kennel to his late partner, Mr. W. S. Patterson, of 

 May ville, N. Y. This includes the good black and tan bitch 

 Louie. Mr. Patterson also gets three of Louie's pups by 

 Broomfield Sultan. Mr. Smith still retains hitl love for the 

 breed, and when business permits will own another good one 

 or two. 



Mr. Loveland, secretary of the N. E. K. O, tells us that it 

 is the intention of the club to give increased classification 

 and prize money at their show in April next. "We do not 

 want it all, and when the exhibitors show a desire to help, 

 as they did last year, we cannot do less than return the com- 

 pliment by offering more liberal inducements in return." 



We see in our business columns that Mr. F. F. Dole is 

 willing to part with two or three good dogs, among these 

 are the bulldogs Argouauta, 1st puppy and novice class 

 N. Y. show 1893, and the noted dog Rustic Swell. The prices 

 seem reasonable, too. 



KENNEL NOTES. 



The picture of Irish setter field trial winners which we 

 publish this week is from a photograph taken before the trials 

 at Thomasville, N. C, by one of our best amateur "fiends," 

 Mr. F. R. Hitchcock, and which Dr. Davis kindly allowed us 

 to use. 



Mayor Stewart Now. - 

 We do not meddle much with politics, but when we see a 

 good fancier voted by his fellow citizens into a good thing 

 one cannot help feeling more than a passing interest. Mr. 

 A. D. Stewart, of Hamilton, Out , has been elected Mayor of 

 that city. He had two opponents and he beat the second 

 man by 1,665 votes, and the third man was buried out of 

 sight; more than this, he beat the two combined, by 200 votes. 

 He has already held high .office in Hamilton, having been 

 Chief of Police and an Alderman, but this election puts him 

 at the top of the tree. 



Mr. Stewart has long been identified with the bulldog and 

 fox-terrier fancies, and has always had the best interests of 

 Canadian dogdom at heart, therefore we are sure his many 

 friends will join us in congratulations. Mr. Stewart is also 

 president of the Canadiau Fox-Terrier Club, and is also 

 secretary and Chief Warden of the Game and Fish Commis- 

 sion of Ontario. 



A serious accident happened to Mr. F. H. F. Mercer the 

 other day. While driving over a bridge his horse bolted 

 and threw him violently to the ground. His head struck the 

 pavement and he was rendered unconscious. Mr Mercer 

 was carried to his rooms where he now lies dangerously ill. 



The meeting of the Pacific Kennel Club that was to have 

 been held Jan. .2, was expected to be a lively one, as some of 

 the members are not pleased with the decision that exoner- 

 ated Mr. Huber. It is stated, however, that the officers of 

 the club have the confidence of the majority of the members, 

 and the decision will be upheld. 



Pacific Coast Field Trials. 



The Pacific Coast field trials, while they will not be over- 

 burdened with entries, are creating considerable interest 

 among field sportsmen on the Pacific coast. There are said to 

 be about ten entries in the Derby, but the All- Age Stake is 

 expected to do much better, and show the spectators some 

 good field work. The trials take place Jan. 15, and as Salinas 

 is but 118 miles from San Francisco, an opportunity is offered 

 sportsmen to see good dogs at work, and this may result in 

 reat benefit tp both the field and bench interests of the 

 'oast. 



The question of responsibility on the part of show com- 

 mittees for specials donated by outside parties is cropping up 

 in the Scottish- Fancier, and we see that Mr. W. Brodie, who 

 was recently a resident iu Toronto and who owns the noted 

 terrier Irish Ambassador, is mainly the cause of it It 

 seems that two years ago he gave a special at the Dumferm- 

 line show for the best Irish terrier pup sired by one of his 

 dogs. This has not yet been given to the winner's owner, 

 and hence the trouble. '1 his raises a rather interesting ques- 

 tion as to whether a show committee is responsible for such 

 specials. We do not know the "law" in such a case, but it 

 seems logical that if a committee advertise certain specials 

 as an inducement to exhibitors to enter at their show they 

 should also assume such responsibility as would insure the 

 winner of such special receiving his just due. The show 

 committee here stands in a position like that of an indorser 

 of a note; they are responsible to the winner of the prize, and 

 must for their part look to the giver. It would be quite im- 

 practicable to adopt any other system. Exhibitors cannot 

 investigate the responsibility of every man who offers 

 specials. But it very clearly is the business of the com- 

 mittee, before they hold out the promise of a special, to 

 inform themselves of the true character of the special, the 

 responsibility of the man who offers it, and to make suitable 

 provision to insure its payment. In a word, the nearer we 

 come to usual business common sense ways in our dog show- 

 ing, the less friction and the more satisfaction will there be 

 in it.

ANSWERS TO CORRESPONDENTS. 



There is no charge for answering questions under this head. All 

 questions relating to ailments of dogs will be ansivered by Dr. T. G. 

 Sherwood, a member of the Royal College of Veterinary Surgeons. 

 Communications referring to other matters connected xuith Kennel 

 Management and dogs ivill also receive careful attention. 



J. O'B., Lawrence, Mass.— See answer to F. B. D. for mixture. 



M. W., Paterson, N. J.— If you will tell us which show you wish to 

 exhibit at, we will tell you how to go about it. 



Mot, Birmingham, Ala.— Ollie B. is not registered in the published 

 stud books. She may have been registered in 1893, and this you can 

 ascertain by writing to the secretary of the A. K. C., 44 Broadway, 

 New York. 



B. H. S., North Attelboro, Mass.— Nesta (A.K.R. 1494), by Duncan 

 out of Bess. Bess by Mec out of Wilson's" Duce. Mec by Mr. Her- 

 ketts's collie from Scotland out of Mr. Gerrard's bitch from Scotland. 

 Duacan's pedigree cannot be traced. Write to Mr. Jas. Watson, Box 

 770, Philadelphia. He imported Nesta. The Chesapeake, Rake, is not 

 registered. 



Subscriber, New York.— I have an English setter pup seven months 

 old; she is very timid and is afraid of everything. What will be good 

 for her timidness? Ans. Let her accompany you as much as possible 

 in your walks. Always treat her kindly, but do not pet and caress her 

 every time that she is apprehensive or frightened. Let her, by actual 

 experience, learn that there is no daDger impending. If you could 

 take her out rabbit hunting with a beagle and let her chase and kill, 

 or assist, it would do much to increase her courage. If the timidity 

 is associated with a high degree of nervousness it may require a lot of 

 time and patience to correct it. 



J. M. P. Sistersville, W Va.— Please inform me what are the mark- 

 ings of a Gordon setter. I always thought a Gordon was black, with 

 tan markings on legs, breast, muzzle, and dots of tan over eyes; but a 

 few people here have got black dogs that they claim were bred direct 

 from Scottish Gordons. If they are the true Gordons my dog must 

 be a cur, and an awful long pedigreed cur, too. Ans. You are sub- 

 stantially correct. The Gordon setter should be of a deep black, with 

 tan markings dispersed as follows: On the forelegs below the knee, 

 on the feather on forelegs, on the throat, on the checks and muzzle, 

 inside the ears and over the eyes, on the belly, inside the thighs and on 

 the vent. 



F. B. D., Kegar Falls, Me.— I have a cocker spaniel bitch. She has 

 sores come on her head, and the hair comes off. It seems to itch 

 quite badly and on the inside of the ear it is red and sore. Ans. Treat 

 for worms, and rub the following all over the dog every other day: 



Sulphur sublimed 8 oz. 



Oil of tar 5oz. 



Cottonseed oil 2 qts 



Mix. 



Also give dog this mixture: 



Mag. sulph 3 vl. 



Pot. bi-carb. 



Sod. bi carb aa 3 i 



Aq. ad 3 vi 



Mix. Give one tablespoonful twice a day. 



X. Y. Z, Salt Lake City, Utah.— Dutch is by Old Victor out of 

 champion Countess (E. K. C. S. B. 5,510) pedigree unknown (vide E.K. 

 C.S.B.). Old Victor (E. 2.791) pedigree unknown. Victor came out of 

 the Black country and died in June, 1872 (vide E.K.C.S.B.). 



Marquis (E.K.C.S.B. 7,613) is by Tarquin (E. 2,776) out of Puss, by 

 Nelson out of a daughter of Young Puss. 



Nelson (E.K.C.S.B. 2,754, Vol. I.), by Harding's Old Nelson out of

 both whelped in 1872. Tarquin (E. 2 776), by Young Victor (E. 2,792)

 Old Victor out of Puss. Candidate, by Marquis out of Florence. Mar- 

 quis, by Tarquin (E. 2,776) out of Hinks' Puss. 



The information contained above will also give the particulars of 

 Edgewood Fly and Little Prince's breeding, sufficiently so to register. 

 Queen of Spain we cannot find. A number of these old bull-terriers 

 had the same names, but. we think we have traced those mentioned to 

 tneir proper source. If all is not plain write again. See notice at the 

 head of this column. 



The Gentler Sex Enjoy It, Too. 



Editor Forest and Stream: 



Papa takes the Forest and Stream from the news company in Balti- 

 more, and we all are very much disappointed when it is a day over 

 time onour table. We enjoy the good stories of the outings of people, 

 and contrast them with our own experience. Mrs. R, J, H,
