FOREST AND STREAM. 



[April t, 1894. 



DOG CHAT. 



It seems that Ben Lewis won the handler's prize at Chi- 

 cago show after all, as considering the dogs he actually took 

 and handled at the show he had much the hest of the record. 

 Geo. Thomas, we understand, was second, but in view of his 

 contention that the dogs named in the catalogue as handled 

 by him constituted a claim to the prize, the club generously 

 made up the difference and he got the $100 too. These prizes 

 as we have stated, give rise to a lot of talk if nothing else, 

 and some other plan should be adopted to secure the dogs 

 these handlers can command. It would be better for the 

 club to pay them so much according to the number and 

 value of the dogs they can bring personally to the show. 

 



At Philadelphia the manager of the Woodlawn Park Ken- 

 nels, "Jim" Robinson, purchased the well known bulldog 

 The Graven Image from Prank F. Dole for $200. She will 

 be bred to their Wal Hampton to get the proper degree of 

 "Chiarascuro," we snppose. 



During the Philadelphia show the collies owned by James 

 Corbett were placed on exhibition. They are Bert and Mol- 

 lie; Bert is by Christopher and came from the Chestnut 

 Hill Kennels. They showed lack of training and needed a 

 bath. Since the show we learn that they have been sent to 

 Mr. Jarrett's kennels to be put in shape for the Specialty 

 show at New York next month. 



There is to be another show at Saratoga at the end of 

 August,' under the management of the Saratoga Kennel 

 Club. The show will be held in the same hall as in Janu- 

 ary, and preparations will be made to accommodate 500 dogs. 

 It is expected that as Saratoga will be crowded at that time, 

 enough may be realized to reimburse the club for its last 

 failure, and' as the Hiltons will be interested in it there is 

 every likelihood of the visitors showing up in force. 



Mr. H. T. Payne came up to Philadelphia to see how his 

 New York sensation, Donovan, fared. He was disappointed, 

 but like a good fancier will try again and will now send the 

 "any other color" Tonita along, having purchased her 

 at that show. 



Mr. Tallman severed his connection with the Turf, Field 

 and Farm, April 1. Probably his work as manager of the 

 Springside Kennels of pointers demands most of his time. 

 "Billy" is quite proud of the record the pups by Ridgeview 

 Donald out of Lady Tammany have made this season. At 

 New York they took 1st and 3d in dogs, and 1st, 3d and re- 

 serve in bitches. At Philadelphia, 1st and second with 

 different pups, Springside Pax and Springside Lill, these 

 two he sold at the P. K. C. show to Mr. Joseph L. Woolston, 

 of Germantown, Pa. He also sold some pups at home to Mr. 

 Thos. McKem, of Philadelphia. The kennels still have two 

 more of this litter which will come out at Boston, and we 

 hope with the same good luck thst their brothers and sisters 

 have had. 



Mr. Jarrett, of Chestnut Hill Kennels and Prank P, Dole, 

 arrived in Philadelphia from Denver at 5 A. M. on the morn- 

 ing of the show, having been under full sail since the previous 

 Friday night. They both looked tired and their dogs more 

 so, the big ones especially being affected by the journey. 

 The Denver show people were unfortunate, as on the first 

 night of the show a building on the same block as the show 

 hall was burned down and the electric light connections de- 

 stroyed. This necessitated the closing of the show the 

 evenings of the early part of the show. Mr. Jarrett sold a 

 cocker to Mr. Smythe, of the Swiss Mountain Kennels and 

 bought a collie from Mr. Dole at a very short figure. 



Mr. R. H. Burr, of Middletown, Conn., an old reader and 

 advertiser of Forest and Stream, writes us that he has just 

 received word from a party in Bridgeport, Conn., who has 

 found a red Irish setter bitch with a collar with his name on, 

 and writes to know if she belongs to him. She does not, but 

 probably belongs to some one who had purchased her from his 

 kennel, and he gave the collar with her. The collar has been 

 sent to Mr. Burr for identification, but he cannot make out 

 from this who owns her. It has attached a dog show brass 

 tag, No. 473, which looks as if she had been at the New York 

 show; she has been around Bridgeport two months or more, 

 but he has only just received word in regard to her. 



The Swiss Mountain Kennels lost their smooth bitch June 

 about a fortnight since and nothing has been heard of her. 

 Information as to her whereabouts will be gladly received. 



A rather amusing incident occurred at Philadelphia. A 

 lady exhibitor was very much displeased with the secretary 

 because, having gone to the trouble of writing out a long 

 pedigree for her spaniel she very much wished to have it 

 printed in the catalogue for "It has such an influence on the 

 j udges, you know. ' ' It was not printed. 



Sales at Philadelphia. 



C. S. Wixom of the Hornell-Harmony Kennels sold his 

 beagle Keith to Mr. E. L. Stine, who is getting together 

 quite a nice kennel. 



John M. Lewis, the well known and "smiling" field dog 

 handler, sold the English setter bitch Jennie L. by Roi D'or 

 ex Countess Christina to Dr. J. W. Kent of Philadelphia 

 during the show. 



Mr. Wixom struck while the iron was hot and Olivia's 

 honors were thick upon her, selling her to Mr. Mortimer of 

 the Hempstead Farm Co. She should make a very useful 

 bitch bred to a good-fronted dog. 



On the last day of the show Dr. Sauveur sold a collie pup 

 by The Squire out of Gypsey Maid to a gentleman in Read- 

 ing, Pa. 



Mrs. Smythe, of the Swiss Mountain Kennels, sold to Mr. 

 Mundy, the owner of TattersalPs building where the show 

 was held, the smooth St. Bernard Castor of Contoocock, 

 winner of first in smooth puppies. 



Mr. Robinson of Woodland Kennels sold three Irish terrier 

 pups to Frank Dole. 



Red Cockers. 



Mr. C. M. Nelles, of Brantford, Out., was busy with his 

 red cockers at Chicago, and while he did a fair share of 

 winning he also was successful in disposing of some of his 

 stock. To Mr. Julian Ramsay, of Chicago, he sold Red 

 Prince, winner of first in open and puppy classes. Mr. H. 

 Lester, of the same city, bought a red dog pup, and so did 

 Mr. Roger Williams, the greyhound judge. Mrs. J. L. 

 Onstott and Mr. H. J. White, both of Chicago, bought a dog 

 and bitch pup respectively. From indications at late shows 

 it would seem as if the red cocker is running the black a 

 close race for popularity, and justly so, for we quite- agree 

 with "Red Cockers," whose letter will be found in another 

 column, that the reds show uniformly better in front and are 

 of more active proportions than the blacks, and for that rea- 

 son, if nothing else, they should be encouraged, though breed- 

 ing in for color may hurt them in the same way the black 

 has suffered in th« controlling of type, 



Los Angeles Show. 



The Southern California Kennel Club's premium list 

 comes to hand at the last, moment. With the exception of 

 maatiffu, St. Bernards, greyhound*, great Danes, pointers, 



setters and fox-terriers which, in addition to challenge prizes 

 of $5 and $8, have also $3 and $3 in open classes, nearly all of 

 the breeds have the money $5 and $3, only, in challenge 

 classes and open get merely honors in the way of diplomas. 

 Since the premium list was printed the judges' list has been 

 changed and now Mr. G. L. Waring will pass on bull-terriers 

 and fox-terriers and Mr. A. C. Waddell of Coffey ville, Kas., 

 on all other breeds. A number of specials are given and 214 

 classes are provided in all. Entries close April 7. 



It looks very much as if the Glenrose and Forest Beagle 

 Kennels had joined forces, the Consolidated Beagle Kennels 

 being the result. We were told to look out for beagle news 

 in the P. K. C. catalogue and this may be it, unless it refers 

 to their new dog Banman. 



Mr. E. H. Moore does seem to have bad luck not only 

 sometimes with his dog; but now we hear that his house has 

 been burned down again. This was a handsome residence. 

 We have no further particulars as to the fire or its origin. 



The Rinada Kennels are selling out their stock. They have 

 already sold Musette, by Chancellor ex Dauntless; also 

 Dauntless, by Arkos II. ex Cora. The bitch Solitaire, by R. 

 Panic ex Ridgeview Revelation, is also sold. A number of 

 good bred ones yet remain in the kennels. 



In the Pall Mall Gazette of March 20 the following edi- 

 torial paragraph appeared, "Walter Wellman's Polar expe- 

 dition, in an order to Spratts Patent (Limited) for biscuit 

 supplies, has included 'Armebis'— a concentrated meat bis- 

 cuit—and wheat meal biscuits similar to those the company 

 has for some years furnished to the English Government de- 

 partments." This shows confidence, for it does not pay to 

 run any risks in food supplies for those regions. 



We acknowledge the receipt of an excellent photograph of 

 Dr. Younghusband's Prince Cola, the winner at Detroit 

 and Chicago. It shows his head and body off to perfection. 



Dr, Cryer has practically dropped out of the active showing 

 fancy in pugs, but still keeps up a lively interest in the breed 

 at home. He showed us a team, naturally off the chain, at 

 Philadelphia that is hard to beat. There may be others in 

 the country with better individual members, but for sorti- 

 ness, with the possible exception of Ivy Boy, who is a little on 

 the leg to the others, he has four that would take some pull- 

 ing down anywhere. Bob Ivy, Pansy G. and Little Ruth are 

 a very pretty trio. 



The National Pointer and Setter Field Trials will be held 

 April 24, on the estate of Sir W. O. Corbet, near Shrewsbury, 

 England. 



Mr. Jos. Evans, some time connected with British Fancier, 

 and who, we understand, was the amusing writer known as 

 "Diogenes Up to Date," is seriously ill. 



Whippet racing seems to be taking hold in the London 

 (Eng.) districts and several important handicaps are on the 

 tapis. The racing is very simple. Men "runners-up" go be- 

 yond the winning mark, and when the pistol has been fired 

 and the dogs slipped the runners-up wave handkerchiefs and 

 whistle to attract the attention of their favorites, who are 

 trained to run to them as straight, and almost as swift, as an 

 arrow. Any dog that quarrels with a fellow-competitor en 

 route is disqualified. Whippet dogs can cover the ground- 

 grass, cinder path or any other— at a surprising speed, the 

 champions running 200yds. in twelve seconds or nearly 17yds. 

 in a second. 



Collie breeders are looking forward with more than usual 

 interest to the specialty show to be given by the Collie Club 

 in connection with the Hempstead Farm show, May 1 to 4. 

 The amount of cash prizes offered far exceed any heretofore 

 offered by the club. The premium list will be exactly the 

 same as that of the late Westminster Kennel Club show, and 

 in addition there will be six or eight special cash prizes of $20 

 each, with same number of silver and bronze club medals. 

 The Collie Club trophy and the President's cup will be com- 

 peted for. Thos. H. Terry and J. D. Shotwell constitute the 

 dog show committee, and Mr. James Mortimer will be the 

 superintendent. The specials are all confined to collies 

 owned by members, and to get a piece of the good things 

 those who are not members had better get in as soon as pos- 

 sible. 



Edward A. Smith, The Florence, N, Y., offers §25 at the 

 Specialty show for the most level team of four cockers, weight 

 18 to 251 bs.

ANSWERS TO CORRESPONDENTS. 



A. C, Fort Niobrara, Neb.— We do not recommend kennels, but you 

 will find Irish setters advertised in our business columns. 



V. B. M., Raleigh, N. C— For canker in the ear, wash the ear out 

 daily and blow powdered boracic acid into the ear twice a day. 



F. B. E., New York.— You had better write to Mr. A. C. Wilmerding, 

 the president, 163 Broadway, New York. The annual dues are $5. 



C. D. B„ Hartford, Conn.— Write to W. Philips, corner of Forty-

 has a kind of sprain in the left hip. Ans. This is a case that requires 

 the personal attention of a veterinarian. 



P. W. B., New York.— First season of oestrum comes on when he 

 pug is about ten months old. She could be bred then, but it is better 

 as a rule to wait till the bitch is fifteen or sixteen months old.
