DOG CHAT. 



Messrs. James Mortimer, E. M. Oldham and Major J. M. 

 Taylor are the judges so far chosen for the Toronto show in 

 September next. Mr. Oldham will of course take spaniels, 

 and it is to be hoped that he will not, for his own sake, raise 

 the "anti." 



Mr. J. C. Vail, of Warwick, N. Y., intends, according to a 

 local paper, to build some new kennels on his property and 

 will again take a limited number of dogs to board and train. 

 The Frank Forester Kennels have held some good dogs in 

 their day. 



The Boston Herald says there are fully 10,000 dog owners 

 in Boston who take more or less interest in the doings of the 

 kennel world. If this is the case the N. E. K. C. should not 

 bother themselves about the loss of Fast Day. 



P. K. C. Show. 



The entries for this show closed with 479 entries as follows: 



Mastiffs 7 Poodles 26 



St. Bernards 33 Bulldogs 12

The entry of English setters must be peculiarly gratifying 

 to Mr. Taylor, as he makes his debut as a judge. Spaniels, 

 beagles, fox-terriers and poodles must also be considered as 

 complimentary to the judges. Collies have a good entry, 

 too, considering the fact that the judge is himself a prominent 

 exhibitor in this breed, and therefore his entries are so many 

 lost. 



Los Angeies Show. 



The dog show committee of the Southern California Ken- 

 nel Club have decided, owing to the great expense that 

 would be incurred in getting a judge from the East for their 

 show alone, to secure local talent. Mr. H. H. Briggs, a 

 prominent San Francisco sportsman and president of the 

 Pacific Kennel Club, together with A. Russell Crowell, ken- 

 nel editor of the Breeder and Sportsman, will take all 

 breeds except fox-terriers and bull-terriers, and these will 

 be passed upon by Mr. G. L. Waring, a gentleman who has 

 lately come out' from England and who is said to have 

 judged at some small shows in England; and pointers, 

 which Mr. R. T. Vandevort will judge. Owing to the 

 backing down of the other clubs on the Coast, the Los 

 Angeles enthusiasts, to whom such an event is furthest 

 trom their thoughts, this show should be given the support 

 which their enterprise and love of dogs deserve. The club 

 has never missed a show since its organization and this will 

 be their sixth gathering, while only two shows have ever 

 paid a profit. The club is supported by sportsmen and they 

 .see no reason why they should not hold a show because there 

 is some work and no pay. 



We omitted to mention last week that Mr. George S. 

 Thomas, while at Chicago, sold his black and tan terriers 

 Rochelle Turk and Rosette to Mr. Fred C. Stilson, Janes- 

 ville, Wis. Mr. H. Jarrett also sold a cocker spaniel by 

 Fascination to Miss Materson, of Kansas City. 



While at Chicago show we heard a rumor that Mr. 

 Lawrence Sinister, of Philadelphia, had died very recently. 

 We regret to hear the sad news confirmed. Mr. Shuster was 

 well known as one of the oldest and most prominent fanciers 

 in Philadelphia, his English setters having won both on 

 bench and field. He was identified with the early Phila- 

 delphia K. C. shows, being treasurer, we believe, and also was 

 connected with the Fanciers' Journal in that capacity when 

 it started on its troubled career. In late years his interest in 

 kennel affairs, outside of the P. K. C. field trials, has not 

 been very active. 



Mr. Reick, contrary to custom, did not purchase any St. 

 Bernards during his recent trip to Europe, but from the'ken- 

 nels of Mrs. L. E. Jenkins, of Forest Hill, he secured the 

 Blenheim spaniels Wild Honey and Nokomis, said to be the 

 smallest in this celebrated exhibitor's kennels. They are 

 each under 61bs. weight. 



It is most amusing to read the learned opinions of those 

 who have never seen the dog Pade as to wnether he is a pure 

 beagle or a basset-beagle or what not. StocJc- Keeper prints 

 a picture of the dog and then asks, "What is it? ' which is 

 just about the best way to treat the subject. Mr. Millais 

 takes up the question as to whether the dog has basset blood 

 in him, but as his deductions are entirely drawn from the 

 photograph spoken of it is merely an opinion as to that pho- 

 tograph and not of the dog, as no one from that picture can 

 form a correct idea of the dog's crooked forelegs. We may 

 say in answer to Mr. Millais's opinion regarding malformed 

 beagle legs in their similarity to the basset crook, that the 

 peculiar formation of Pade's legs is not due to "osseous en- 

 largement of the distal cords," but the crook is "largely due 

 to the arrangement of the bones in the carpus" and "the 

 philanges are turned outward." No one ever said that Pade 

 had a "basset front, pure and simple, but rather that Pade 

 showed in his forelegs every indication of a basset or dachs- 

 hund d'OSS. 



Dr. H. Koenig, of Lexington avenue, New York, has pur- 

 chased from the Dutchess Kennels a very handsome dog pup 

 by Alton, Jr., out of Miss Anna. 



The Philadelphia Kennel Club will make a "bold bid for 

 success in the matter of attendance, at any rate. To each 

 ticket of admission will be attached a coupon which will 

 entitle the holder to participate in drawing for a pedigreed 

 dog that will be donated each night. Each day a dog of a 

 different breed will be given away. 



The English fancy is having a regular Donnybrook sort of 

 a time over the appointment of the Irish terrier judge for the 

 Kennel Club's show to be held next month. It seems Mr. G. 

 R. Krehl suggested Mr. Hill, a well-known judge of the 

 breed, for the office, and he was appointed. Mr. Hill not 

 being on the Irish Terrier Club's list of judges, the president 

 of that body of specialists is using his best endeavors to boy- 

 cott the show in true Irish fashion, which, in the interests of 

 the breed the club is supposed to foster, cannot be called very 

 praiseworthy on his part. Mr. Krehl, as vice-president of 



the club, on the other hand, has explained his position in a 

 letter to his paper, and calls upon the exhibitors to back up 

 the judge with their entries. The fight is only just com- 

 mencing, but will attract considerable attention on' all sides 

 before the show comes off. 



The noted deerhound exhibitor and breeder, Mr. Weston 

 Bell of Rossie, Perthshire, Scotland, is dead. He owned the 

 celebrated dog Rossie Ralph and was counted the most suc- 

 cessful exhibitor of deerhounds in Great Britain, besides 

 having a number of winners in other breeds from time to 

 time. He was the author of "The Scottish Deerhound" and 

 was only 35 years old at the time of his death, which occurred 

 March 9, from pneumonia. 



Mr. Geo. Bell, of Toronto, we are glad to see, is on the war- 

 path again, this time as a competitor for P. K. C. prizes. 

 He called at our office on his way to the Quaker City, and is 

 enthusiastic over a 7-months-old Canadian-bred black and 

 tan terrier he is sending there. Dusky Trap he reports as 

 looking fit and well, weighing 181 bs. A 4-months-old pu^ by 

 him is to make us all open our other eye at Toronto next Sep- 

 tember. 



The N. E. K. Club. 



The N. E. K. Club have provided a class to be known as 

 "207A," for Dalmatians, dogs and bitches, offering $10 and 

 $5 for first and second respectively. Friends of the Boston 

 terrier have offered the following additional specials for that 

 breed: $10 for the best brood bitch, to be shown with two of 

 her produce; $10 for the most typical-headed bitch, and $5 for 

 the best dog or bitch puppy. 



The Toronto Kennel Club held its annual meeting March 

 22, with President J. F. Kirk in the chair. The club's spring 

 show, which will be open to dogs owned in Canada, will be 

 held April 13 to 14, at the Granite Rink. J. S. Williams will 

 judge St. Bernards, C. A. Stone pointers, English and 

 Gordon setters, Richard Gibson fox-terriers and George Bell 

 all the rest. Premium lists will be issued this week and a 

 number of specials are promised. The old list of officers was 

 re-elected with J. F. Kirk as President, A. A. McDonald and 

 W. S. Crawford being added to the executive committee. A 

 deputation from the club was to wait on the Attoney 

 General on March 23, to urge the passage of a bill under 

 which dog thieves may be more easily prosecuted. 



In collie bitch pups at Chicago show first should read Tom 

 Godsland's Blossom and Willowdale Kennels' Pride, which 

 was the next, number to Blossom's, and the number against 

 their names could apply to either, hence the mistake. 



Referring to dachshunds at New York, Dr. E.Guenther, of 

 Newark, N. J., writes: "I would ask you in justice to Mr. 

 Manice, of Pittsfield, Mass., to make the following correc- 

 tion in your valuable and — to me— ever welcome paper. In 

 your list of prize winners at the late show of the Westmin- 

 ster Kennel Club, in Class 144A, dachshund puppies, you 

 give first to my bitch puppy Nanette; second, to Pretzel 

 (John H. Mathews) and vhc. to Hermit (Windrush Kennels). 

 I am aware that the official catalogue published the awards 

 as above, a,nd this very likely explains your mistake. The 

 awards were as follows: First, Hermit (Windrush Kennels); 

 second, Pretzel (John H. Mathews); vhc, Nanette (Dr. E. 

 Guenther)." We are pleased to give Dr. Guenther the op- 

 portunity to make such a courteous correction. 



Mr. C. Stedman Hanks, the owner of the Seacrof t Kennels, 

 is passing the winter in the South. At present, he is enjoying 

 the fishing on the east side of Florida, in a houseboat. He 

 writes: "I am away from all doggy news; please send me a 

 copy of the Forest and Stream which has the account of 

 the New York show and the reports of the different judges 

 on their awards." 



Mayor Stewart, although he is a busy man these days with 

 the care of the municipal affairs of Hamilton, Canada, on his 

 hands, has not entirely relinquished his interest in dogdom, 

 and speaks of getting out from England another bulldog or 

 two. We may yet see another show at Hamilton, and under 

 the patronage of his Worship. 



What has become of the Bull-Terrier Club? 



Lord Walbeck. 



Last week we referred to a dispatch, sent to the dailies dur- 

 ing the Chicago show, which alluded to a St. Bernard stolen 

 from Mr. Geo. J. Gould. Mr. Gould has not lost a dog, and 

 the report is entirely erroneous. It will be remembered that 

 after the New York show we stated that some one had ship- 

 ped No. 25 instead of No. 52 from the Garden on the 

 morning after the show. No. 25 was Mr. S. Miller's dog Lord 

 Walbeck and No. 52 was Mr. E. W. Fiske's dog Hamlet. As 

 soon as Mr. Miller heard of this when he went to the building 

 to get his dog on Saturday morning, and not finding his dog, 

 he at once shipped No. 52 in his own crate to Mr. Fiske at 

 Mount Vernon, and then proceeded himself to Mr. Fiske's 

 place. Arrived there, he found that no St. Bernard had 

 reached Mr. Fiske's kennels, although his spaniels had 

 arrived. Mr. Fiske subsequently received his dog Hamlet, 

 but no trace has as yet been found of Lord Walbeck. The 

 dog. is a valuable one and well known at dog shows. He is 

 the only son of Young Bute and Miss Anna in this country, 

 having been imported in ut&ro. Mr. Miller is naturally very 

 anxious about his dog and is investigating the source of the 

 dispatch alluded to above, thinking the dog referred to may 

 be his. Whether the W. K. C. can be held responsible for the 

 dog's loss is an interesting question which is now under con- 

 sideration, Mr. Miller having put the case in the hands of his 

 lawyer. If any one should hear of the dog it would be a 

 kindness to advise Mr. Miller at 21 Centre street, New York 

 city, as to its whereabouts. The W. K. C. is using every en- 

 deavor and no little money in trying to trace the dogs— the 

 Irish terrier Shargar is alao still missing. 



The name of the donor of the scarf pin to be given to the 

 owner of the black and tan terrier winning the most prizes 

 during the present dog show season is Prof. Wm. G. Ingram 

 and not. Graham, as first stated. 



Great Danes. 



While at Detroit we had the pleasure of meeting Mrs. 

 Glynn, the owner of the Wolverton Kennels of Great Danes. 

 She stated that it was her intention as soon as she could sell 

 her kennel, to follow her husband to England. We are 

 therefore not. surprised to hear that Mr. Lawrence, of Colum- 

 bus, Ohio, who has lately made such rapid strides to the 

 front in the great Dane fancy, has purchased the whole of 

 Mrs. Glynn's kennel. This purchase includes three fine 

 youngsters out of the well known Senta, that died recently in 

 Mr. Lawrence's kennels. They are about one year old; 

 Senta's Brutus is one, the blue dog that won at Detroit and 

 Senta's Rheda and Senta's Mascot, first and second respect- 

 ively at that show, are the others. With the help of this new 

 and young blood, the Kennel Lawrence expect to add many 

 more winning brackets. 



The British Fancier did an enterprising piece of work in 

 getting out a special edition of their paper containing a re- 

 port of the Manchester show, with jts 050 entries, on the 

 second day of the show. This journal seems to be a more 

 than lively "corpse," and its predicted death appears to be 

 as unlikely as its success seemed assured. Forest and 



Stream does not wish to be robbed of its laurels, and we 

 must remind our trans-Atlantic contemporary that this 

 journal was the first to issue, a special edition during an im- 

 portant show. This was in 1892, when the New York show, 

 with its 1,400 entries, was fully reported, embellished with a 

 large number of half-tone pictures of the winners and all the 

 judges. 



The late Manchester show was scarcely the success of for- 

 mer years, as far as entries went, though the quality could 

 not be cavilled at. The Deakin challenge cup for the best in 

 sporting and non-sporting divisions was captured in the for- 

 mer section by the well known pointer champion Saddle- 

 back, the wire fox-terrier Cauldwell Nailer getting reserve, 

 and ir^the latter by the crack smooth St. Bernard Lola IV., 

 Southport Perfection, the collie, coming in for reserve. 

 "Billy" Graham brought out a new Irish terrier bitch Breda 

 Bee, that is said to be a "corker." Owing to a number of un- 

 fortunate causes, chief among them being the very mystify- 

 ing new classification of the Kennel Club, a number of classes 

 were cancelled, such important breeds as bloodhounds, pugs 

 and greyhounds not having sufficient entries. 



Mr. A. H. Megson, of Manchester, recently purchased a 

 young collie, Guy Mannering, by Sefton Hero, for $1,000, 

 that is said to be very nearly a world beater if he only gets 

 his ears up a bit more; in coat, bone, substance and style it 

 is said he cannot be excelled. He won all before him at the 

 Manchester show, where he was first shown. 



The Sporting Mirror (Eng.) says in speaking of the New 

 York show, "Forest and Stream wins the whippet so far as 

 full judges' critique goes. " This is a new term to us, but as 

 a whippet is supposed to be fast and gets to the front pretty 

 quick we take the above as a compliment. 



The English Mastiffs Ogilvie and Jubilee Beauty, together 

 with the crack Plutarch, have been sold since Capt. Pid- 

 dqcke's death, which occurred recently, to Mr. A. D. Int- 

 cliffe, Failsworth, Lancasture. 



We learn that an order has been placed on the other side 

 for the best Irish terrier dog or bitch that can be procured. 



Louisville Dog Show. 



The secretary of the Louisville Kennel Club, Mr. St. Marc 

 Mundy, writing about their coming show, says: 



"The directors of the Louisville Kennel Club (incorporated) 

 held their regular weekly meeting on Wednesday evening. 

 March 21, at the Armory. Of the nineteen directors only 

 two were absent, which illustrates the interest taken in the 

 club's affairs and the present important topic of interest, 

 its first annual dog show, which will be given May 9 to 12, 

 the week following the Hempstead Farm Specialty show in 

 New York. 



"The dog show committee reported themselves ready to 

 submit the result of their labors on the premium list and 

 the list recommended by them was adopted unanimously. 

 It provides for forty-five different breeds, including miscel- 

 laneous, and 152 different classes, while the total sum of the 

 purses will amount to over $2,000, exclusive of the handlers' 

 prizes, of which there will be five. Three for handlers non- 

 residents of Jefferson county, Ky., or Floyd and Clark 

 counties, Ind., and two for handlers residents of those three 

 counties exclusively. The moneys for the five handlers' 

 prizes will amount to a total of $150. 



. "The judges so far decided upon are Messrs. Mortimer, 

 Roger D. Williams and Major J. M. Taylor, but there will 

 be one, and possibly two, other judges added to the list, as 

 we are now waiting to hear from several gentlemen. Our 

 premium list will be ready for distribution MarchJJl. 



"Louisville being a port of entry, arrangements are now 

 on foot to enable our Canadian brother exhibitors to bring 

 their dogs here in bond, and so avoid the disagreeable pay- 

 ment of duty on their animals. We also hope to make 

 arrangements for special transportation for the Eastern and 

 Northern exhibitors, by having two special cars leave New 

 York after the Hempstead Farm show, and come out over 

 different routes. 



"These two routes will be selected with the idea of securing 

 the most benefit to the different exhibitors, by having the 

 cars pass through certain cities, so that exhibitors living 

 between New York and Louisville, who may not attend the 

 New York show of May 1 to 4, can meet these cars at points 

 nearest to their homes, and thus secure the benefit of their 

 use and cheaper transportation to Louisville and return, for 

 these cars will return over the same route they came here by. 

 We are also figuring on having a special car put on and run 

 from Chicago for the benefit of the exhibitors from that city 

 and vicinity and the Northwest. 



"Nashville is also talking about giving a dog show the 

 week after ours, and if they do, the exhibitors from a dis- 

 tance will then be able to take in both, as Nashville is only a 

 little over six hours' run from here. Should they give this 

 show, and commence it on May 16, all the exhibitors can 

 have their dogs cared for here, the few intervening days be- 

 tween the two shows, remain and see the Kentucky Derby on 

 the afternoon of the 15th, and yet be in Nashville the follow- 

 ing morning in plenty of time to bench their dogs. To any 

 one who has never seen the Kentucky Derby and the grand 

 stand thronged with the beautiful Southern women, as it is 

 on Derby day, I will simply say, it is a sight well worth 

 going skfeio miles to see." 



"Vicissitudes of the Judging Ring." 



Editor Forest and Stream: 



In behalf of F. M. Thomas, relative to "Vicissitudes of the 

 Judging Ring," will say he is out of town and on his return 

 will make answer to the above. A. Milton Mters.

International Coursing Meeting. 



Editor Forest and Stream: 



As there never has been published a report of the receipts 

 and disbursements of the International Coursing Meeting, 

 would it not be of interest to a great many readers, for the 

 treasurer to do so? Nominator.
