P. K. C. Show. 



Just before going to press we received the following wire 

 from Philadelphia, dated March 20: "Run over 450 entries, 

 cannot give exact number till to-night."— Philadelphia 

 Kennel-Club. 



The Collie Club announces that in addition to the annual 

 collie sweepstake, it has been decided to revive the futurity 

 stakes. A sweepstake, for litters of collie puppies born on or 

 after Jan. 1, 1894. Entrance fee, fifty cents for each pup. 

 The entire number of the litter born alive must be entered, 

 and the entries must be made prior to the puppies attaining 

 the age of six weeks. One or more of any litter entered may 

 be selected to compete for the stake. A collie entered in this 

 stake having changed ownership shall be eligible to com- 

 pete, upon condition of the transfer being registered by the 

 breeder with the secretary of the Collie Club. 50$ of the 

 stake shall go to the winner, 20% to the second, 10$ to the 

 third, a.nd 20$ to the breeder of the winner. To be competed 

 for at the Westminster Kennel Club show of 1895. Entries 

 after July 1, 1894, will be competed for at some dog show in 

 the fall of 1895. 



As some litters may have passed the limit of age, any such 

 will be accepted prior to April 1, 1894. It being highly 

 probable that the winners in this stake will also be winners 

 in the-regular sweepstakes it will be quite an object to enter 

 both. Entry blanks will be furnished by the secretary,

It is well known that this journal does not interfere in 

 politics except as they may affect game legislation and kin- 

 dred matters, but some of our contemporaries in their efforts 

 to involve Tammany even in a dog deal have pounced upon 

 our announcement that Mayor Gilroy had purchased the 

 great Dane Major McKinley. The man who had charge of 

 Major McKinley at the New York show is responsible for the. 

 statement, but on inquiry at the Chicago show we find that 

 the deal fell through on a disagreement about the price. 



The dates claimed for Toronto, Canada, show are Sept. 10 

 to 14. C. A. Stone, secretary and superintendent. 



Spaniels At New York. 



Editor Forest and Stream: 



Allow me space in your paper to thank "Solus" for his 

 comments on the spaniel j udging at the late New York show. 

 Whosoever he may be he understands spaniels and merits 

 the thanks of all spaniel breeders who wish to improve and 

 establish a strain of spaniels that will breed to a type— his 

 remarks I heartily indorse and would add: I was an exhibi- 

 tor at this show, but never again will I enter or lead a spaniel 

 before Mr. Wilmerding for an opinion of it, as he has amply 

 demonstrated to me his inability to properly judge a good 

 class of spaniels, as he has no fixed type that I can discover. 

 He takes the position that size influenced some of his decis- 

 ions. As "Solus" remarks, had the jtidge come out before, 

 entries closed and given exhibitors to understand he was to 

 "lift them up" and weight was to cut such a figure in the 

 awards, would there have been such a large entry? I assure 

 your readers had such been known, nine entries that did go 

 in would have been absent. I would like him or any other 

 judge to explain wherein under the American Spaniel Club 

 standards he finds any authority to place a single point to 

 the credit of weight or size. The standard says from 18 to 

 281bs. I claim no judge has any right to place a larger ovei 

 a smaller specimen unless he can score a point or part of one 

 more than the smaller. Personally I like a good size spaniel 

 and breed to obtain it, but not at the sacrifice of other points. 

 It is only by breeding and exhibiting and selecting the most 

 perfect specimens, that we can improve our type and make 

 that type a fixture. But no improvement must be expected 

 from such decisions as placing Newton Abbot Farmer over 

 Newton Abbot Torso; Coleshill Rufus at the foot of his 

 class; Middy, a dog that should have won in his class, left 

 without a card; placing Donovan at the head in his class, 

 were decisions that caused me to retire and take a seat, the 

 better to observe the burlesque. That the judge wanted 

 light, more light, further light, when he had spent a half 

 hour rejudging some of them again in the novice class, was 

 no surprise to me. J. P. Willet. 



Safety of the Columbus Show. 



Columbus, Ohio, March 12.— Editor Forest and St/ream: 

 Mr. Waters in his report of the Columbus show says: "Had 

 there been a fire the fate of the dogs on the upper floors was 

 easy to predict." 



In this Mr. Waters does us a slight injustice, first because 

 Mr. Waters surely must have noted how carefully we had 

 prepared to guard against fire. Again, Columbus should 

 not be continually harped upon because of her great misfor- 

 tune of 1888. The past has gone and should be forgiven, if 

 not entirely forgotten. 



When I give your readers an outline of the protection we 

 offered our exhibitors they will, I think, uphold me in my 

 bold assertion, that "a fire was almost an impossibility in 

 our show room." 



The safety of our show was under the personal supervi- 

 sion of the chief of our city fire department and his able 

 assistant, and at no time was it possible for a fire to spread 

 to an extent to do the least harm. In addition to our own 

 careful vigilance Ave had on each floor, under the care of a 

 competent fireman, a fire extinguisher ready at all times to 

 quench the least spark. No smoking was allowed in the 

 show room, and how rigidly this rule was enforced our 

 exhibitors can testify. Ben Lewis and Mr. Turner both 

 stated to me that at no other show they ever attended was 

 this rule enforced so strictly; two of our lady exhibitors 

 also made the same statement. Our night watchmen 

 received their instructions from our fire chief and were care- 

 fully instructed in the use of the electric calls placed in the 

 show room. Taken all in all we thought the precautions 

 taken were the best, and I hope you will pardon me for 

 taking exceptions from the otherwise fine report of our 

 show. H. A. Bridge. 



Manitoba Dog Show. 



The first annual dog show in connection with the Mani- 

 toba Poultry Association's Exhibition, opened at Winnipeg, 

 on Tuesday, March 6, and continued until Thursday, March 

 8. The entries in all classes were large and valuable canines 

 from all parts of the country participated. A noticeable 

 feature was the abundance of the larger breeds which seem 

 adapted to the rigid temperature of the Northwest. In mas- 

 tiffs there was a splendid entry in both quality and numbers. 

 Among the St. Bernards were found some excellent ani- 

 mals and the Newfoundlands, deerhounds, wolfhounds and 

 great Danes were well represented. Setters, pointers and 

 retrievers were numerous and some old prize winners of the 

 East were among the successful ones. Spaniels, terriers, 

 collies and foxhounds were all of splendid quality and the 

 few bulldogs on exhibition are excellent animals. The 

 entries in the toy class were not very numerous; but there 

 were some dainty little canines among them. The whole ex- 

 hibition was most successful and promises to become one of 

 the most important events of the winter season in Winnipeg. 



Dog Protective Association. 



Editor Forest and Stream: 



The annual meeting of the Grand Rapids Dog Protective 

 Association was held March 5, with a large attendance. 

 The reports of the different officers for the year were made 

 and that of the. treasurer showed a good financial condition; 

 and the secretary's disclosed a membership of just 100, inter- 

 ested in protecting their dogs and who are willing to pay any 

 assessment their executive" committee may levy for that 

 purpose. The President reported that in one way and another 

 about 25 dogs had been recovered and returned to their 

 owners, some by law, some through the medium of a postal 

 card to the members and some having been picked up on the 

 streets, having strayed away. 



One fact that was apparent to all was the moral influence 

 our Association has had in the reduced number of dogs that 

 have been run off, never to be heard of again, and although 

 this is an uuknown quantity still the members have felt just 

 as much more secure in their membership as the dog thieves 

 have felt alarmed at the prospect of the Association getting 

 after them. We trust other associations will be formed in 

 other cities to cooperate with us and each other, when, I can 

 assure you, we will give the fraternity a. lively race. 



The followine: officers were elected for the ensuing year: 

 President, C H, Annin; Secretary, W. D. Pnerh; Treasurer, 

 Eber Rice; Executive Committee, R. C. Wharton, D. G. 

 Henry, Francis Lilley and C. F. Rood. W. D. PuGH.

ANSWERS TO CORRESPONDENTS. 



P., New Rochelle.— 1. How often and what should a St. Bernard pup 

 nine weeks old be fed? 2. Should he be washed? If so, how, and if 

 not, in what way can his coat be kept clean? 3 Should his pen be 

 kept warm or cold? Ans. 1. From three to four times a day. Sweet 

 milk, mutton soup with vegetables and stale bread, oatmeal, etc.; also 

 raw meat, chopped fine, every other day is good. 2. At his age washing 

 is unnecessary, if the quarters are neat and clean, with plenty of clean 

 bedding. 3. If he has plenty of clean bedding and the sleeping quar- 

 ters are free from draughts, artificial heat is unnecessary. 



C. E. S , Middletown, Conn.— 1. I have two setter pups that I intend 

 hunting together, one of which is a wide ranger, while ibe other hunts 

 close but quarters his ground well. Which one is the proper dog to 

 teach to retrieve, or would you teach them both? 2. What is the 

 proper way to prevent them from chasing chickens? 3. Is it a good 

 idea to work them on quail in field without gun? Ans. 1. The wide or 

 narrow range has very little relation to the qualities of a retriever. If 

 you intend to keep the dogs for your own shooting teach the slowest 

 one to retrieve. 2. Punish them'every time you catch them chasing 

 chickens. 3. Yes. 



W. E. R , Reading, Pa —The slime and blood may be the result of 

 constipation and straining, or ic may be due to disease of the rectum. 

 Take the dog to veterinarian. 



G. S., Boston.— 1. It is probably a tumor and should be removed. 2. 

 Feed on raw lean meat once a day.

Central Ohio Fox Hunters' Club. 



The Central Ohio Fox Hunters' Club, of Coshocton.Wayne, 

 Tuscarawas and Holmes counties held its fourth annual 

 meeting at Millersburg, March 7. It was the largest and 

 best attended of any ever held by the club, every county 

 being well represented. The meeting was held in Agricul- 

 tural Hall, and at 10:30 o'clock A. M. was called to order by 

 the president, John A. Bucklew, of Warsaw. After hearing 

 the reports of the committees and treasurer and secretary, 

 Hon. E. L. Lybarger presented a resolution to change the 

 name of the club to the Central Ohio Sportsman's Club. 

 The resolution was unanimously adopted. This change was 

 made in order to admit other sportsmen outside of fox hunt- 

 ers to membership. 



On motion, E. L. Lybarger, L. F. Findley and Lake F. 

 Jones were appointed a committee to draft new by-laws, 

 after which an adjournment was taken until after dinner. 



Immediately upon reassembling the committee reported the 

 new by-laws which were adopted. Among them are the 

 following: 



This Association shall be known as the Central Ohio Sportsman's 

 Association. Its objects shall be: 



First— The encouragement of interest on the part of the people in 

 the preservation of game and fish. 



Second— Encouragement of gentlemanly sport, the assembling to- 

 gether from all parts of the district of gentlemen fond of sport, 

 friendly enjoyment, mutual acquaintance and the recuperating of our 

 physical powers by outdoor exercise. 



Third — The membership shall consist in addition to those already 

 enrolled, of such other persons as may apply and be enrolled by the 

 secretary upon the payment of the membership fee of twenty-five 

 cents. 



Fourth— The officers of the association shall consist of a president, 

 secretary and treasurer, and one vice-president from each county be- 

 longing to the association. 



Fifth— The officers first chosen shall serve until the next annual 

 meeting, aDd shall thereafter tie chosen for a period of one year, or at 

 each annual meeting. 



Twelfth— It shall be the duty of all members of this association to 

 assist each other in recovering lost or stolen dogs, and when any dog 

 is lost or stolen, and any member knowing of its whereabouts, shall 

 communicate said knowledge to the secretary of the association, at 

 Millersburg, Ohio. 



The following resolution was also adopted: 



Resolved, That this association will aid and assist the legally con- 

 stituted authorities in the enforcement of all laws made and provided 

 for the protection of game and fish. That we discountenance fox 

 hunting during the months of June and July, and that we pledge our- 

 selves to abstain from fox hunting during these months. 



The election of officers resulted as follows: President, 

 John A. Bucklew; Vice-Presidents, Coshocton County, J. L. 

 Moore; Wayne, Lake F. Jones; Tuscarawas, Wm. T. Zinkon; 

 Holmes, Merriman Lisle; Secretary, L. Gr. Barton; Treasurer, 

 Charles M. Williams.
