FOREST AND STREAM. 



[Mabch 34, 1894. 



not showing. Weliesbourne Charlie and Roslyn Wilkes and 

 Flurry til. and Takyr Dean in challenge classes was once 

 more the order, and probably for the last time, as open class 

 winners Sefton Hero and Charlton Phyllis will now have 

 something to say. Open dogs had thirteen entries. Bendigo 

 absent, though on the bench. Sefton Hero and Christopher 

 occupied their accustomed positions, and the latter will now 

 have an easier time of it. Chesterford Hero, looking very 

 much better than ever before, came in for third; it is a pity 

 he is not a larger dog. Toronto Wonder, fourth, still retain- 

 ing his mane and frill, has lost some of his body coat. Scots- 

 man, reserve, has too much stop, too full and round in skull, 

 lots of coat, but not dense enough: a fine, up-standing dog, 

 with scarcely the quality of the winners. Blizzard, vhc, 

 was at Detroit; Douglas* is a bit plain, and hardly shows 

 the quality we look for from this kennel; needs more coat. 

 Rhoderick Dhout deserved his letters. Charlton Phyllis won 

 again in bitches, second going to Chesterford Hattie, who 

 looked well, with dense coat, though scarcely long enough. 

 Blossom, third, shows intense quality; is small, but well 

 made, with a dense coat; a daughter of Christopher and the 

 winner at the last December show. Donna, fourth, is a bit 

 full and round in skull, back of this she is a showy, nice 

 bitch. Fanny Kay, reserve, is down-eared, plain in head, 

 brow too full; for this place I thought Gypsey II. well in; 

 head well shaped, but lack of white makes it a bit plain, nice 

 body, but short of coat, gets her tail up too gaily at times. 

 Lady Christopher and Lady Fidget are well known; they are 

 out of coat. Grange Nellie has gone all out of form, coarse 

 and fat. In puppies, the handsome little dog Orme won well 

 from Hereward the Wake, whose lack of coat and wall-eye 

 are against him. Puppies change so much it is little use 

 commenting particularly upon them. Piper is a good-coated 

 one. a little cheeky and strong in skull, Willowdale Pride, 

 the puppy bitch class winner, I did not see. Blphin, second, . 

 has a rather coarse head and heavy ear, good coat. Cragston 

 Kennels took the kennel prize, but were closely pushed by 

 Chestnut Hill, coat, condition and all things considered. 

 Novice class winners have been commented upon. 



Poodles {Tames Mortimer, Judge). — The principal win- 

 ners have been described so repeatedly lately it is not neces- 

 sary to enter into a repetition. In the absence of Milo and 

 Chloe, Dinah, from the same kennels, was the only challenge 

 representative. In corded open dogs Bismarck rightly won, 

 beating Parisian so much in cords and condition. Czarina, 

 the only entry in the other class, was absent. In open black 

 curly-coated dogs Rajah won again, with Lais, a smart-look- 

 ing fellow, not\so good in curl or head, second. Sidi, well 

 known, took third. Dahomey, fourth, is plain in loin and 

 quarters. Clicquot, reserve, is a smart stamp but coat is 

 brushed out and a bit woolly. Moughlow is slack in back, 

 good coat, but head rather short and coarse. Yankee, second 

 last week, could get no higher than he. ; he looked tucked up 

 and leggy, though a smart stamp of poodle. Diablo had 

 wasted to a shadow, being very light in loin, or would have 

 done better. Bess, Cybele and Miss furnished the corre- 

 sponding class winners. Miss is soft in coat with little curl. 

 In any other color a sort of a first cousin t o a bobtail was given 

 first, a white dog with little character and rough coat. 



Bulldogs (James Mortimer, Judge). — The entries here 

 were all of well known animals, Leonidas and The Graven 

 Image taking the challenge prizes respectively, which Leon- 

 idas further supplemented by taking the special for best in 

 show. Romance and Sally Brass II. had each a walkover in 

 their classes for 451bs. and over; the former improves all 

 the time; Sally is too high on leg and flat-faced, not broken 

 up enough nor depth. In light-weight dogs Wal Hampton 

 had little difficulty in beating the terrier body and front of 

 African Monarch. 



Bull-Terriees (James Mortimer, Judge).— These terriers 

 always show up well at Chicago, and competil ion was strong 

 in the. various classes and wins well placed on the whole. In 

 challenge dogs (2) Streatham Monarch had no difficulty in 

 beating Dufferin, grown altogether too thick and cloddy. 

 In bitches (2) Attraction again vanquished her kennel mate 

 Starlight. Open dogs. 301bs. and over (8), saw Cardonna once 

 more returned the winner, followed by Duke of Rochester, 

 Topsparkle and Billy Bulger, all dogs I have commented on 

 quite recently. Bellerby King, vhc, was also at Detroit. 

 Croydon Monarch has a nice head but lacks substance and 

 fails in front to the others. Vesper Bell won once more in 

 the corresponding class; should be cleaner in cheek and 

 longer in muzzle. Edgewood Topsy comes next and ran her 

 very close with Countess of Dufferin, who keeps her head 

 well and stands on good legs, not far behind either. White 

 Gypsy is cheeky and heavy in shoulder and was not well 

 shown. White Queen loses in length of head, neck and 

 shoulders. Under 301bs., dogs (2), Rookery Boy beat Prin- 

 cipio, but I think the latter scores all over in head and front. 

 The bitch class was a smart one, the winner the cleanly-made 

 Lady Rochester, who excels Jeanne D Arc in eye and front, 

 but latter has good neck and body. Lowland Duchess, third, 

 is well known, while Pearl Rochester pushes her close; bet- 

 ter in head and front. Mermaid, vhc, has gone off very 

 much. Tarquin beats Croydon Fay in shape and character 

 of head, but loses to the other in body and legs. Rookery 

 Boy, Bellerby King and White Queen was the order in the 

 novice class. The special for best heavy weight went to Car- 

 donna, but barring having a little the best of Streatham 

 Monarch before the eye and coat, the latter excels to our 

 mind. 



In the Boston terriers Tony, winner in heavy dogs, is too 

 long-faced, light in body and "bully" front. Ben, the win- 

 ner in under 201bs., has a fair head, light in body, out at 

 shoulders. Hector, second, loses in head but has a better 

 front. 



Dachshunds (John Davidson, Judge).— Challenge entry 

 Fritz K. was absent. In open dogs (8) Nips took the blue, 

 followed by Knirps; he is coarse and his tail tickles the back 

 of his neck almost. Jay beats Knirps all over in type and 

 character, and especially in head and ear, skin and length of 

 body, but was shown out of shape. Plethyosaurus also is of 

 better type than the others, in spite of too much wrinkle. 

 Topsy, too high in skull, short ear, good length of body and 

 loose skin. Tips Zur Horst was at Detroit. Fritz is coarse 

 and full in skull. In bitches there was nothing to beat Jar- 

 gonelle, whose sweet head and type easily beat the rather 

 coarse Gypsey. Nellie S. was absent. 



Fox-Teeriers (James Mortimer, Judge).— Many of the 

 entries here have been seen on the benches during the past 

 weeks. The quality was good on the whole and would have 

 been better if the Blemton entries had put in an appearance. 

 In challenge dogs Raffle had another walkover, Blemton 

 Victor II. being absent and Grouse II. filled her place in the 

 corresponding class. Open dogs (9) saw the old familiar 

 names of Warren Safeguard and Tip Top at the top, the lat- 

 ter loses in skull and muzzle to the former, who is as game 

 a terrier as he is good looking, and that is also the opinion of 

 the Detroit coon with whom he struck up such an intimate 

 acquaintance. Arrondale Mixture, third, was at Detroit. 

 Hillside Royal, vhc, loses in body and muzzle, while Pov- 

 erino, who seems to be a puzzler to all catalogue compilers, 

 is losing flesh, but should have had another letter. Sport 

 and Toronto are ordinary. Warren Captious and Duty 

 headed the list in the next class; they were at Detroit; so 

 was Lady Roseberry, third. After them came Richmond Jes- 

 samine, whose head is of good length, but a weak jaw is 

 against her, besides being on the leg. Maple Leaf was at 

 Detroit. In dog puppies (6) there was nothing particularly 

 noticeable, Audubon Stipend and Seacroft King being the 

 only mentioned ones; the former is the best, a promising 

 sort, though he turns his feet out. Warren Tory was absent. 

 In bitches (3) first to Maple Leaf, second to Chip, whom I 

 could not find. Hillside Royal and Seacroft King and 



Crocus II. were the winners in the dog novices in the order 

 named and do not require, much mentioning. In bitches 

 Richmond Jessamine, Glendon Dixielosing in head and front, 

 but better in body, and Maple Leaf furnished the only suc- 

 cessful candidates for the money. The wire division was 

 represented by Ebor Larchmont and Jess Frost, who won in 

 their respective classes; both were at Detroit. The kennel 

 prize went of course to the Rutherfurd Kennels, and War- 

 ren Safeguard took the cup for best in show. 



Irish Terriers (James Mortimer, Judge). — Jack Briggs 

 again succeeded in beating Jackanapes in challenge dogs, 

 while Candor made a very acceptable entry for the corre- 

 sponding class. Brickbat, Jr., walked over in open dogs, 

 and the same owner's Blue Ribbon had a bloodless victory in 

 her class. She was described last week. 



Scotch Terriers (James Mortimer, Judge).— "Tiree and 

 Kilroy were placed as before in challenge class, and Kilcree 

 again beat Wankie Tam; both looked well. Culblean this 

 time beat Wankie Daisy; better head, ears and general type. 

 Merry Coll, reserve, loses in coat, front and head to the win- 

 ners." This is the Detroit report, and the entries were iden- 

 tical here. 



Dewr was the only "Welshman" on the bench. 



Bedlington terriers had only The Professor and Mount 

 Vernon Tibbie, both at Detroit, and described there. Each 

 walked over for its $10. 



Dandle Dinmonts (James Mortimer, Judge).— Pretty 

 much the same entries again, King o' the Heather and 

 Ainstey Daisy being the challenge winners in the order 

 named. Tweed, winner in open dogs, was lucky; he is a good 

 sort of rough dog, has not the coat and type of the others. 



Skye Terriers (James Mortimer, Judge). — Endcliff e 

 Maggie beat Barnaby Rudge in challenge class, the big dog 

 is a bit coarse all round and loses in action to the other. In 

 Stafford, reserve, lost in coat; it is time he was retired if he 

 is going to be beaten. Elphinstone had no difficulty in beat- 

 ing Toodles in open dogs, better head, coat and bone. Queen 

 of the Skyes and Princess May occupied their accustomed 

 positions. Prairie Flower, third, and Lady Stafford fourth, 

 all well known. Prairie Flower beat Lady Stafford again in 

 novices as well as Belle Stafford, who loses in head and bone. 

 Puppy prizes withheld. Elphinstone and Queen of Skyes 

 were the winning brace and Barnaby beat Elphinstone in 

 head and length for best dog, the competition between Queen 

 of Skyes and Endcliff e Maggie was keen; Maggie having the 

 stronger head, but in action, coat and general type Her 

 Majesty should get it a little bit; Maggie was never shown 

 better. 



Mieke was the only Schipperke and won. 



Black and Tan Terriers (James Mortimer, Judge).— The 

 same old faces, but the judge did not view them the same 

 way as usual. Broornfield Sultan and Prince Regent were 

 placed equal in challenge dogs; the former I thought should 

 have won, especially in Prince's present bare-headed condi- 

 tion. In bitches I could not follow Queen III. second to 

 Gypsey Girl, who loses in head, make and shape of body, 

 especially set on of stern, is a bit clearer in leg markings, 

 but tan is washy comparatively, both were well shown. 

 Louie came in for reserve; she can beat Girl both in mark- 

 ings and body. In open dogs the well made, but rather 

 coarse Glenwood won easily over Rochelle Turk and Rochelle 

 Oolah; better markings, body and head. Rochelle Mac, 

 reserve, loses in head, neck and front, Rochelle Sultan has 

 nice tan, but faulty head and front. Rosette beats Rochelle 

 Sultana in head and markings. For the special for best I 

 should think Sultan or Prince Regent a truer-shaped terrier 

 than Gypsey, whose queer set on of stern and round rump and 

 washy tan should place her back; she is whippety too. Queen 

 III. not being a first winner is not mentioned in this criti- 

 cism. 



Yorkshire Terriers (James Mortimer, Judge).— Some- 

 thing better than we usually find. The well known Minnie 

 York in nice coat was alone in challenge class. Fisepool 

 Gem simply smothered the others in open dogs in size and 

 coat, being well shown. Charlie, second, is short of coat but 

 of fine color. Joker II. I could not get a sight of. Prince 

 Harry must have lost in length of body coat for his body 

 color is good and so is his tan; Dick York, Jr., vhc, is tob 

 leggy and big, coat short and mixed. In bitches first went 

 by default to Pinkey York, a beautifully-coated little thing 

 of excellent type and rarely shown. Toy terriers were poor, 

 the winner, Lotta, being quite large but with fair tan and 

 markings. 



Pugs (Miss A. H. Whitney, Judge).— This breed is usually 

 strong here, and this show proved no exception, some of the 

 best in the country being shown. Curtis and Eberhart's 

 Cashier furnished the challenge winners in order named, the 

 former beats in size, but his black face is against him. Vega 

 was the only entry in challenge bitches. In open dogs, a 

 strong class, Al Von caught the judge's eye for first, as at 

 New York. Bobbie Mac came next, big, coarse ear and head, 

 though fairly well shaped, but smutty, good wrinkle, body 

 and curl. Patsy Bolivar loses in skull. Finsbury Duke, 

 fourth, should have been higher up, although shown light; 

 he is as good in type and build as any, head too smutty in 

 color. Uncle Bob has the spot on forehead to perfection, 

 nice body, curl and trace, needs a deeper stop and would 

 then be a good one. Duke Howard, vhc, faulty in front and 

 ears set on too high, well shaped muzzle, which should be 

 shorter. Sir Douglas is well known, is a bit coarse, but well 

 made, good curl, muzzle should be shorter. Tito, vhc, had 

 retired, and Drummer was not for competition. In bitches 

 (5) Haughty Madge of course won; traveling does not seem 

 to hurt her at all. Lady Verne, second, loses in muzzle and 

 skull, and was too fat. Miss Decima pressed her close. 

 Sprake's Patti, fourth, has a fair head and body. Hooker, 

 reserve, has a rather plain, flat face, nice ear and should be 

 clearer in head color. Miss Robinson is supposed to be a 

 black pug, its tail curls and it has a "pugly" head, though 

 too long for the fawns, body light and long, a puppy yet. 

 Some fair puppies were shown, the best of all being Queen 

 Zitka, a very promising sort, if a little shorter in muzzle, 

 but still is well shaped, deep and square. Rookery Kennels 

 showed an even lot for kennel prize and won. 



Tot Spaniels (Miss A. H. Whitney, Judge).— An excellent 

 lot of these pet dogs, and the Western breeders are evidently 

 going to make their Eastern friends look to their laurels. 

 Calumet Alice, looking fat and big and curly, was alone in 

 challenge King Charles. In open dogs Little Duke won 

 nicely; a capital-headed one, short-faced and deep, good 

 earage and body, excellent feather, even to tail, and rich tan 

 markings. Second went to Bentick; excellent skull and 

 stop, coat should be flatter, tan should be brighter, nice 

 feather. Calumet St. Cyr is smutty in tan, short of coat, 

 excellent short face and high skull. This was a class very 

 much above the average. In bitches American Beauty, by 

 Royal Duke, won well; she has excellent tan, skull and 

 short deep face, good fiat coat and length of ear, but should 

 have been in better shape. Lady of the Lake, her mother, 

 has nice face tan, a better skull than muzzle, that should 

 be a bit shorter, nice coat and feather, a trifle bowy in front. 

 Special for best King Charles spaniel went to Calumet Alice, 

 but either Little Duke or American Beauty can outpoint her 

 in her present shape. 



In Blenheims Rex, Jr., won in dogs, stop not deep enough, 

 rather flat head and long, good legs. Miss Ruby, the bitch, 

 had a walk-over, not very good in forelegs, but excellent 

 head, body and coat; she also won the special. Prince 

 Charles and Rubys brought out Ruby Pasha for first, who 

 beats Taffy in skull, eye and a little in coat, but is not so 

 cobby and well made in body as the latter. In bitches Fasie 

 could scarcely be shorter in face or better in skull; coat curls 

 a little in places, but she has plenty of it, and good body and 

 legs— a very good one. Miss Wally is another of the same 



stamp. Quite a nice little Jap, faulty in one ear, carries it 

 out, and should be shorter-faced — won without competition. 

 In toy spaniel puppies Young America is a most promising 

 short-faced pup, winning nicely in squareness of muzzle, eye 

 and tan from Duchess of Bellevue. Fasie easily took the 

 special in the lot. 



Italian Greyhounds (Roge - D. Williams, Judge').— Sprite 

 and Spring in challenge classes and Taglioni in open dogs 

 were the winners; the latter is down-eared, but has a good, 

 long, clean head and is of nice, dainty size. Tinie and Lady 

 Lee in the bitch class were very much under the weather 

 when shown and had bad coughs; they should be blanketed 

 this changeable weather. Lottie won in this class; she is too 

 much out before the eye but very nice size in body and shape. 

 Jos. Lewis took the kennel prize. 



Miscellaneous Class (John Davidson, Judge).— In dogs 

 (3) first went to the bobtail Herdman II. and second to the 

 "Pom." Sheffield Lad, a moderate Dalmation getting third, 

 In bitches Blue Belle the collie was probably the only true 

 bred entry, the other, Sightly, I suppose is a Chihuahua, 

 though liver and tan in color. H. W. Lacy. 



Foxhounds (John Davidson, Judge).— The exhibits of 

 American foxhounds were far away above the average 

 exhibit at dog shows, both in quality and numbers. Mr. 

 Roger D. Williams owned nearly all of them. In the chal- 

 lenge class for dogs Commodore had no competition. He is 

 a hound of exceptional muscular development and foxhound 

 quality, although his head could be improved, particularly 

 in muzzle. In the corresponding class for bitches Femur had 

 a walkover. She is a bitch of a great deal of quality. The 

 four dogs in the open class for them were owned by Mr. 

 Roger Williams, as were also five out of the six bitches in 

 their class. First in dogs went to Simple Simon, excellent 

 in body, legs and feet; leather good and even, muscular de- 

 velopment; in muzzle he was somewhat light and too round. 

 Second went to Topgallant, rather lanky and long c«st, and 

 his head was not clean cut. Dickens, fourth, is short in neck 

 and a trifle heavy in shoulders, and light behind, his head is 

 quite good. The Admiral, fourth, is throaty, ordinarily good 

 head and good in body, legs and feet. Topsy, first in bitches, 

 is remarkably sound, and she stands squarely on excellent 

 legs and feet. The bitches, after first prize winner, did not 

 rate in merit so high as the dogs. La Jora, second, is but a 

 fairly good bitch, while Loopey, fourth, is a leggy bitch, 

 coarse generally, lacking in symmetry and inferior in fox- 

 hound character to those placed below her. Flossy, fourth, 

 has a good neck, a well ribbed body, plain head and awk- 

 ward carriage of ears. The kennel of Mr. Williams was . a 

 sorty lot. In English foxhounds Denmark had no competi- 

 tion in the class for dogs, while the sterling bitch Rosemary 

 easily beat Torment in the corresponding bitch class. 



Pointers (Mr. Tim Donoghue, Judge).— The exhibit was 

 rather inferior both in number and the quality of the entries. 

 It was quite a disappointment that the competition was so 

 light. Duke of Dexter won over Tempest in the challenge 

 class for heavy weights, while Woolton Game, notwithstand- 

 ing her age, easily beats the younger bitch, Josie Bracket, in 

 the heavy-weight bitch class. Dogs over 551bs. had but three 

 entries, of which Sandford Druid was easily first. He has 

 been described recently. Molton Banner was drawn finer 

 in flesh and did not appear so heavy in build to the eye as he 

 really is. Third went to Dictator, recently described, while 

 fourth went to Sport Viscount Edisto, ears set on too high, 

 muzzle a bit light and pasterns too strong. He shows some 

 throatiness and has a well-ribbed body. There were four 

 entries in the heavy-weight bitches, of which Hempstead 

 Pearl, good in body, legs and feet, fairly good head, shows 

 some throatiness and somewhat on the cobby order, won 

 first. Second was won by Brighton Leda, short in muzzle, 

 throaty, well built, but of ordinary symmetry. Beppo's Girl, 

 third, has ears set high, straight shoulders and is somewhat 

 too wide in ribs, and Is more symmetrical than the winner of 

 third, and also is superior in neck, head and shoulders. In 

 light-weight challenge dogs Duke of Hessen was first over 

 Rush of Lad, while in the corresponding class Lady Gay 

 Spanker was first, Miss Rumor was second and Wild Lily 

 was the other competitor. 



Seven competitors faced the judge in the light-weight 

 dog class. Ridgeview Comet was first, though hard pushed 

 by Ridgeview Tenny, both well known, as is also the third 

 prize winner, Hempstead Duke, while fourth went to the 

 well-known field trial winner Lad of Rush While the latter 

 is a tidily built dog, he can never compete successfully on 

 the bench with the best pointers. Luck of Kent, vhc, is 

 long cast and has a poor head, though he is upstanding and 

 is somewhat leggy, good in neck and fair, general symmetry. 

 The bitch class had five entries, first going to Hempstead 

 Blossom, a fairly good bitch, while second went to Devon- 

 shire Pearl, of more than average symmetry. Third went 

 to the well-known Fan Fan II. Mab of Kent, thick in 

 shoulders, short muzzle, good legs and feet, won fourth. 

 There were seven in the field trial class, Tempest, Woolton 

 Game, Sanford Druid, Duke of Hessen, Ridgeview Tenny, 

 Lad of Rush and Hempstead Duke. Duke of Hessen and 

 Sanford Druid were first and second, third going to Hemp- 

 stead Duke, though there was a far better one in Ridgeview 

 Tenny. The kennel prize was won by Mr. T. G. Davey over 

 the Hempstead Farm's exhibit, though the latter were a 

 sortier and more workmanlike lot. 



English Setttbs (Maj. J. M. Taylor, Judge). — The classes 

 were quite well filled, particularly the open dog class, which 

 had twenty competitors. Toledo Blade and Albert's Nellie 

 were the winners in the challenge classes for dogs and bitches 

 respectively, with Bohemian Girl second to Nellie. Paul Bo, 

 shown in good condition, again took first honors in the open 

 class; second going to Washtenaw Grouse, third to Matane, 

 all well known dogs. Fourth went to Paul Hill, light in 

 skull and bone, curl in stern, good shoulders, body and quar- 

 ters and fair general symmetry. The reserve went to Nether- 

 wood Nymrod, shown thin in flesh. Six were given vhc, 

 Piercy Hill, King Gladys, Tremont, Price, Chesterfield Sur- 

 prise and Ben Hur of Riverview. The first mentioned is 

 plain in head, light barrel, out at elbows. King Gladys is a 

 trifle leggy and light in bone. Tremont has a fairly good 

 head, is heavy in shoulders, not quite heavy enough in loin. 

 Price is slack built and too high on legs. The rest of the class 

 was somewhat better than ordinary. The bitch class had fif- 

 teen entries,of which Luna,light in muzzle and bone, was first, 

 second going to Daisy of Riverview, light in muzzle and 

 bone, a trifle leggy, good in body, Bhoulders and fair in 

 symmetry. Nellie Breeze, third, is a bitch of average 

 quality. Flight of Riverview, fourth, is narrow in skull 

 and muzzle, light head, bone and body, and while she 

 has fair symmetry, she just escapes being weedy. The reserve 

 went to Liberty II., while of the three which received vhc, 

 Tube Rose is plain in head, and was too high in flesh. Arline 

 was but average in quality and Miss Shattuck has a good 

 head, tnough narrow in skull and deficient in short ribs. 

 The bitch class was inferior to the dog class in quality. 

 There were two dogs in the puppy class. Count Bo is plain 

 in head, a bit large in knees, good neck, shoulders and gen- 

 eral symmetry. Second went to Pembroke Dick, a large 

 puppy, plain in head and short in neck. There were four 

 bitch puppies. Belle of Riverview, first, is light in build and 

 fair in symmetry. Second went to Elese, and third to Pem- 

 broke Lill, light in muzzle and bone. In the field trial class, 

 the winners were Cincinnatus, Toledo Blade and Paul Bo, 

 first, second and third. Paul Bo is better than Toledo Blade 

 in symmetry, shoulders and body, the latter is carrying a 

 good deal of lumber, and in my opinion was inferior to Paul 

 Bo. The Riverview Kennels took the kennel special prize. 



Ieish Setters (Major J. M. Taylor, Judge).— The classes 

 were inferior in merit and small in entries. Kildare Glen
