79 



mere Kennels had it all to themselves with, ten entries in the 

 different, classes. They made a smart showing. In open 

 dogs, Milo had no difficulty in scoring over Jumbo. Jabot 

 was absent. In bitches, Dinah won nicely from two others 

 very like her, but she beats them in length of muzzle and 

 general smartness of carriage. Between Juno, second, and 

 Jeanne, third, there is little to choose; the former is better in 

 loin, if anything. The four placed ones were also shown in 

 the puppy classes. 



In brown curlies the Hill-Hurst Kennels made another 

 pretty display, and from the remarks made these unusual 

 colors bid fair to become popular. Poobah and Diamant 

 were placed in order named: there is little to choose between 

 them. In the bitch class, Vivette scores over Bellonainhead 

 and in "chic" carriage. The puppies shown one can tell little 

 about as yet. 



In corded poodles the only dog shown was Fritz, and 

 though thin in cords, it would take a crack-a-jack to beat 

 him; he has been a frequent winner. Betsy, in bitches, has 

 also been out before and was looking better. 



BULLDOGS. — At first glance there seemed a big entry here, 

 but the Woodlawn Park Kennels marked their nine entries 

 N. P. C. King Lud was alone in his glory and looking well. 

 The only bitch shown was Lady Nan, and she was at Provi- 

 dence. One cannot leave this breed without giving Mr. Rob- 

 inson, the manager of the Woodlawn Park Kennels, a word 

 of praise for the way he benched six seven-months-old pup- 



?ies, by Rustic Sovereign out of Rock Rose. They are all 

 usty, well grown youngsters, full of life and vigor, fat as 

 moles, and several of them promise to make winners. One 

 especially, a light brindle, has an almost old head, with cap- 

 ital wrinkle. Those who know how difficult it is to raise 

 even one or two from time to time will appreciate the fact 

 when we say that certainly not in this country has such a 

 collection been shown, and we doubt if it has occurred in 

 England. We trust they will feel no ill effects from their 

 little outing, but will turn up bright as ever at New York. 



Bull-Tereiers.— Another nice lot, though entries were 

 small. The well-known Kit and Starlight came forward in 

 the challenge bitch class, no dogs entered, and Starlight suf- 

 fered defeat; she was scarcely in shape and loses to the other 

 in skull, but beats Kit in true shape of muzzle. In open dogs, 

 the Newark winner, Ted Pritchard, scored over Lord Bland- 

 ford; he is a smarter terrier all over, but is a bit cheeky and 

 was shown a trifle light; both get their tails up. In bitches, 

 Mr. Dole brought out another good one in Edgewood Tipsy 

 that simply smothered Edgewood Esther; the former is 

 throaty and brow is a little prominent, and she should have 

 a stronger under jaw; otherwise all round she is a well made 

 one. Nervy loses in front and head and tail, A nice pup in 

 Tarquin was shown; neck not clean enough, tail faultily car- 

 ried; at present shows a capital head and good eye. 



Dachshunds. — Mr. Manice supplied the only entries with 

 the well-known Don Quixote II. and Jessie Victoria, and they 

 were well shown. 



Beagles. — Two kennels— the Hornell-Harmony and the 

 Debonair— came out in force, and the consequence was a 

 capital display. In challenge dogs Royal Krueger, going a 

 bit in front, beats Doctor in head and body and general type. 

 In bitches champion Elf was alone and looked well, too. In 

 open dogs (4) Sherry again beat Roger W., as at Toronto, but 

 I cannot see where Sport of Rockland beats King Banner- 

 man; admitted that King is too full in eye and brow and a 

 little broad between the ears, his muzzle is excellent, and it 

 is not a bad head, while in front he is better than Sport, and 

 much better in body and stronger behind; he should have 

 been third, and he can beat the winner in brush and carriage, 

 and is not so far off in body. The handsome Daisy Corbett 

 with a little less length would win easily over Popsey, whose 

 full skull and long body are against her. Myrtle the Mouse 

 is much better type; if she were a bit truer in front and did 

 not get her brush over she would be close to Daisy and can 

 beat Popsey, anyhow, in true type especially. Mr. Wixom is 

 too good a fancier, we are sure, to take these remarks in any 

 other way than they are meant. Reserve went to Helen R", 

 feet out and open in toes, long in body and not the type we 

 want. In under 13in. class dogs (2J Razzle was placed over 

 Little Wonder, a big winner. This was correct, as Wonder, 

 though begets it a little in head and sweet quality of expres- 

 pression, loses so much in substance and depth and cobbiness 

 of body to Razzle, Laddie was absent. Hornell-Harmony 

 came to the front again with Evangeline and Dazzle in 

 bitches. The former is well known. Dazzle has much 

 quality, but should be stronger in muzzle, and is hardly true 

 enough in front; here is where she loses to the winner. 

 Actress, third, is long and needs furnishing, and should be 

 shorter in head. Wee Willie, vhc, is too broad in front and 

 skull, body of fair type. Razzle beat Actress in puppies 

 easily enough. 



Fox-Terriers.— These were pretty strong classes for a 

 small show and the Beverwyck Kennels had quite a field 

 day, and, what pleased that good fancier, Mr. Rathbone, 

 better, they were all home bred ones. In challenge dogs 

 Beverwyck Punster was alone and looked well. Grouse II. 

 was absent in the corresponding class. In open dogs (10) 

 first went to a new one, Beverwyck Kingpin, scarcely a year 

 old yet; he had a somewhat easy win; his length and shape 

 of muzzle is good but skull is a trifle broad, and neck should 

 be longer and cleaner; stands on capital legs, good bone and 

 nice body, coat fair, and he is a terrier ail over. He is by 

 Starden's King out of Moonbeam. Lansdown Poverina 

 came next; he loses in flatness of skull and was shown a bit 

 light. Beverwyck Bobbin was third; shows a bit too much 

 daylight, is sharp in muzzle, good legs, but hardly clean 

 enough in shoulders. The well known Holster was reserve; 

 his skull is faulty and he loses in character to the others; is 

 a pretty terrier. Of the others, Venio, Jr., was the best, little 

 full in skull yet, but a terrier all over. Blemton Rattler 

 could do no better than c. Mark Twain I liked better than 

 Kenyetto Punch, both he, better head and substance, but 

 rather long cast. Woodlawn Park Kennels had three here 

 N. F. C. In bitches (5) first went to a smart little one in 

 Beverwyck Punlass, weak in muzzle rather, but good front 

 if feet were better. Lansdown Trim took second; she is 

 round in skull and muzzle should be stronger; she was 

 shown in whelp or seemed to be. Beverwyck Twinkle, 

 third, has too much stop and is big in ear; nice front. Lady 

 Bell loses in head and front, otherwise a nice stamp. King 

 pin won easily in dog puppies and Punlass in bitches. There 

 was only one wire-hair in competition, the well known Oak- 

 leigh Bruiser. The other four entries came from the Wood- 

 lawn Kennels. 



Irish Terriers.— If the Woodlawn Kennel had been com- 

 peting there would have been plenty of competition in all 

 classes with their eight entries, as it was competition 

 rested with Crib and Galtees in the challenge class. Crib's 

 far better head pulled him through though Galtees is truer 

 in front. In open bitches the only competing entry was Hill 

 Top Surprise, the Newark winner. 



There were no black and tan terriers entered, something 

 we don't remember hearing of before and wonder what 

 Doctor and Ben could be thinking of. 



Rough Terriers. -Glenshea was the only Scottish terrier 

 entered and of course won. No Bedlinetons, but Skye 

 terriers showed up well with the same dogs that Mr. Shinn 

 showed at Chicago, and which were then described. The 

 Welsh terrier Dewr was marked N. P. C. 



Yorkshire Terriers.— Two in open dogs, and first went 

 to Actor, a poor sort, dark body color and washy light tan. 

 Jacks, next, is a silver terrier, a bit large. In bitches Lady 

 Nell still getting lighter and not beautifully so in tan, was 

 alone. 



PUGS.— Seminole Kennels just about farmed the classes. 



Attraction and Midget were the challenge winners. In open 

 dogs first went to the well-known Medlar, getting gray; he 

 was alone. In bitches (4) Cilver Queen won; light in body 

 and small-faced, a pretty little thing with nice trace and 

 legs. Bess, well known, came next and pushes the other 

 for the win; cobbier in build. La Belle Petite has nice 

 wrinkle, is a bit long cast, but has a good front and is a 

 smart little piece of dog flesh. 

 Toy spaniels were drawn blank. 



Italian Greyhounds. — The challenge winners were sup- 

 plied by Spiing and Sprite, both looking tiptop. Another 

 well-known face, Lady Lee, won in open bitches, second 

 going to June, a white and fawn, too broad in skull and 

 large sized. 



Miscellaneous prizes were withheld and in the selling 

 class first went to Myi-a, an Irish setter. H. W. Lacy.

Philadelphia Kennel Club. 



Editor Forest and Stream: 



The Philadelphia Kennel Club claim the dates March 27 to 

 30 inclusive for their next annual bench show, to be held at 

 Tattersalls, Philadelphia. 



At a meeting of the Keystone Kennel Club, held on Friday, 

 Jan. 12, it was unanimously resolved to resign from the 

 American Kennel Club and form an amalgamation with the 

 Philadelphia Kennel Club by individual application for mem- 

 bership in that club, which application will be acted upon 

 at the next meeting of the Philadelphia Kennel Club, held at 

 the Aldine Hotel on Tuesday, Feb. 12. 



At a meeting of tha Philadelphia Kennel Club a resolution 

 was adopted that application be made by the Philadelphia 

 Kennel Club for membership in the American Kennel Club. 

 The secretary was instructed to inclose the treasurer's check 

 for the $10 admission fee. 



It is deemed advisable for the best interest of the dog fan- 

 ciers of the city of Philadelphia and the promulgation of the 

 dog shows, that the Keystone and Philadelphia Kennel Clubs 

 join issues. 



The Philadelphia Kennel Club is the oldest organization 

 of its kind in the country, and has a prestige among dog 

 men second to none. There being a friendly feeling on the 

 part of Mi-. Wenderoth and Mr. Mundy, the most influential 

 members of the Keystone Kennel Club, with the members of 

 the Philadelphia Kennel Club, it was deemed for the best in- 

 terest of all concerned that the Keystone Kennel Club should 

 resign its membership from the American Kennel Club, that 

 the Philadelphia Kennel Club might have a successful dog 

 show, and offered the Tattersalls building for the purpose. 

 The dates claimed for the show being March 27-30 inclusive, 

 will follow immediately after St. Loxiis and before Boston , 

 which will fit in very niceiy for the dogs coming East to Bos- 

 ton from St. Louis. 



A large guarantee fund was subscribed in a very few 

 minutes at the last meeting of the Philadelphia Kennel Club 

 and the members were very enthusiastic in their intention 

 of giving a rattling big dog show on the dates claimed. 



The newspapers all sent their representatives to the meet- 

 ing of the club and have assured the members of their friend- 

 liest co-operation. The prospects of a most successful show 

 for Philadelphia, to be the largest in its history, are very 

 promising. The premium lists announcing the names of 

 judges and all other matters of interest connected with the 

 show will be distributed in a very short time. 



Dr. George D. B. Darby, Sec'y. 



Scotch Terriers. 



We were unable to give, in a telegraphic message from 

 Saratoga, more than just meagre particulars of the sale of 

 Tiree and Rhudaman, a bit of news which we dropped upoa 

 on the journey to Saratoga. It seems Mr. Henry Brooks,, 

 who has done so much to bring forward this game breed," 

 has entered into partnership with Mr. Oliver Ames, Jr,, and 

 uniting their kennels their dogs will still be shown under 

 the name of Wankie Kennels. It will be remembered that 

 some time since we alluded to the fact that Mr. Ames had 

 become a welcome convert to the fancy that is identified 

 with the Land O'Cakes. 



By the purchase of such a good dog as Tiree, both on bench 

 and as a' sire, together with Rhudaman, the kennel is cre- 

 ating a monopoly in this breed. Mr. Brooks tells us that 

 they have a fine litter by Tiree out of Culblean, and two fine 

 young bitches by Kilroy out of Brunhilda, that we believe 

 we have spoken favorably of before, and they will make their 

 debut at New York show. The kennel will show at New 

 York a very even and strong team with Kilroy, Tiree, Rhud- 

 aman, Kilcree and Tarn in black brindles and near one type; 

 Then as brindles they will show Culbeat), Diana, and the 

 novice Frieda. In all they expect to show 17 terriers, if novice 

 and puppy classes are made. The old idea which obtained 

 as a rule in this country that these terriers were mere lap 

 dogs, is one that cannot be exploded too quickly. The im- 

 pression arose doubtless from the nondescripts that masque- 

 raded under the name of Scotch terrier, Yorkshire terrier, 

 Skye terrier, et al, and their acceptance as pet dogs. The 

 Scottish terrier is no ladies' lap dog, and would probably 

 take it as a dire insult to be so thought of, still, as a house 

 dog and a merry, intelligent dog he can scarcely be sur- 

 passed; but his true forte is the destruction of varmin. They 

 are working dogs full of gameness and go and deserve to be- 

 come popular. Mr. Brooks has made a bench show room in 

 his kennels that he may better show visitors and others the 

 good points of the dogs, and also to be able to exhibit them 

 collectively. 



POINTS AND FLUSHES. 



[By a Staff Correspondent^ 



Those who contemplate visiting the field trials in Missis 

 sippi next month may save themselves a great deal of annoy 

 ance by engaging accommodations ahead of their arrival.'. 

 There are signs which indicate that there will be a, pretty- 

 good attendance, consequently there may be a pressure on the: 

 hotel and livery accommodations. Every one who owns a 

 saddle will do wisely to briDg it with him. The average Mis- 

 sissippi saddle, at least such as is for hire, is a marvelous 

 combination of awkwardness and dilapidation. The girth 

 is almost certain to be a composite affair of a misfit buckle, 

 a torn and worn piece of short leather, and all missing parts 

 supplied by bits of string. If you haven't a saddle of your 

 own, it is well w T orth the trouble of borrowing a good one. 



The Mascoutah Kennel Club is setting itself at work in 

 earnest for a successful show. The indications are. that it 

 will be one of the great events of the year. Then, too, the 

 boys all like Chicago. It has a glorious climate, a good imi- 

 tation of a seacoast and more unemployed men than any 

 other city. It breaks the record in everything.
