DOG CHAT. 



The New York Specialty Show. 



The largest specialty show ever held in America opened 

 to-day (Tuesday) under most favorable auspices, brilliant, 

 weather, good judges and the cream of the fancy in the dif- 

 ferent breeds— St Bernards, collies, fox terriers, spaniels and 

 bulldogs. The only drawback is the fact that the dogs are 

 benched in the basement of the Madison Square Garden, and 

 although Spratts Co. have arranged the benching as well as 

 possible under the circumstances, the tout ensemble suffers 

 by comparison with a show benched on the main floor. The 

 very interesting farm exhibits take up all the space on this 

 floor, so there is no alternative. A number of the prominent 

 kennels benched their dogs last night. The Swiss Mountain 

 Kennels have 18 dogs, including the best that they can show 

 in St. Bernards and spaniels. Andrew Laidlaw, C. M. Nelles, 

 Geo. Bell and Geo. Douglas will surely score high 

 honors for the Dominion, especially in spaniels. A number 

 of fox-terriers and collies from the Hempstead Farm were 

 already benched, as well as their auxiliary exhibit of pointers, 

 retrievers, Irish terriers, beagles, etc., that are of course not 

 for competition. The Woodlawn Park Kennels also benched 

 a satisfactory collection of bulldogs, collies and fox-terriers. 

 Blemton Kennels have some of their cracks there, too, and 

 are confident of winning a fair share of the ribbons. Messrs. 

 Rutherford of course cannot let such an occasion pass, and 

 have brought Warren Safeguard and Warren Captious, who 

 will make the competition interesting in the challenge 

 classes, together with several others. 



The wire exhibitors, Messrs. Hunnewell and Smith, are 

 there in strong force, and Oakleigh Bruiser, Cribbage and 

 Janet will no doubt add further leaves to their wreaths. In 

 wire puppies ten are shown and all, with the exception of 

 Mr. Ritchie's Mister Great Snap, are from Hempstead and 

 Hillhurst Kennels. J. Pierpont Morgan has his collies 

 Sefton Hero, Charlton Phyllis, Roslyn Wilkes and others, 

 and the two former will do battle for the first time in the 

 challenge classes when they will meet the old heroes from 

 the Chestnut Hill Kennels, Wellesbourne Charlie and Luella. 

 The open collie classes will charm the collie enthusiasts when 

 the well known Christopher Woodmansterne Trefoil, Conrad 

 II., Hempstead Trefoil, Prince Wilkes, Hempstead Rex, 

 Ormskirk Dollie and the unoeaten sensational puppy Hemp- 

 stead Dorothy come together, to say nothing of several 

 lesser lights which have been decorated before. The St. 

 Bernard classes are sure to please the lovers of the Holy 

 breed, for the collection benched, though not as large as 

 might have been expected, is representative of the best we 

 have in the East, while the West is supported by two such 

 celebrities as Sir Bedivere and Rustic Beauty, whose plucky 

 owner considers distance no object when dog shows are con- 

 sidered. The bitch challenge roughs will provoke keen 

 rivalry when Miss Anna, Rustic Beauty, Lady Livingstone, 

 and Sunray troop into the ring, and the winner may well be 

 hailed as Queen of the May. In Bedivere, Otos, Kingston 

 Regent and Altoneer form no mean puzzle for the judges 

 after the blue ribbon is given out. The open classes are also 

 very strong and the judge, Mr. Sidney Smith, will be able to 

 form some idea of the kind of St. Bernards we are producing, 

 especially when he sees Mr. Moore's strong term of Altons in 

 the smooth classes. 



A review of the spaniel classes is quickly made— the very 

 best of the year are entered and almost every name has be- 

 come a familiar one in the past season's prize list at one 

 show or another. With the Woodlawn Park Kennels, John 

 H. Matthews, John H. Congdon, J. R. Gilmore, E. K. Austin, 

 W. K. Travers, R. D. Winthrop and A. B. Graves out with 

 their choicest it is scarcely necessary to say that the judge 

 will be pleased to return to his comparatively easy duties, as 

 manager of the whole show, after his puzzling work. King 

 Lud, His Lordship, White Venn, Saleni, Found It, Bathos, 

 Wal Hampton, Rustic King II., Leonidas, etc., are dogs that 

 any country, even Old England, may be proud to acknowl- 

 edge. The judging is done on the main floor in the ring set 

 apart for the equine performances. Judging commenced in 

 good time but will not be finished the first day as the specials 



form no small portion of the programme. As we go to press 

 soon after the judging commences we are unable to give the 

 awards, but a full report will appear next week. In all there 

 are 464 entries, a number of which are special exhibits from 

 Mr. Trevors and the Hempstead Farm and Mr. Senn'stoy 

 spaniel kennels. 



Mr. H. G. Trevor, who may, with Mr. Hunnewell, be 

 termed the poodle missionary, has sold out several of his 

 dogs to Mr. Weldy of Tamaqua, Pa., who intends to show 

 extensively. The list contains such well known curlies as 

 Sidi, Girofia, Cigarette, Zola, etc. Mr. Weldy will show at 

 Louisville next week and Mr. Trevor will also take a brace of 

 his best down to the Kentucky event. 



We have received an excellently arranged catalogue of the 

 Wankie Kennels' Scotch terriers. Half-tones of Kilroy, 

 Tiree, Kilcree and Culblean are given together with much 

 useful information as to their breeding, as well as the lesser 

 lights in the kennel. 



Miss Bibby, an English lady, is evidently a suffragist, for 

 she entered a brace of English setters, Sam Cross and Milly 

 Cross, in the recent field trials in England. 



The fifteen-year-old fox-terrier Belgrave Tony was recently 

 killed in a fracas with a kennel mate. He was game to the 

 last. 



We have received the following from the Columbus Fan- 

 ciers' Club: "Whereas, certain rumors having been put in 

 circulation concerning Mr. T. A. Howard, to wit: That he 

 had attemped to bribe a judge at the recent Columbus dog 

 show; Resolved, That after a careful examination of all the 

 evidence we find that Mr. Howard has been guilty of indis- 

 creet letter writing and that we censure him severely for the 

 same, — Bench Show Committee Columbus Fanciers' 

 Club Co." 



The show at Oakland Cal., will take place May 30 to June 

 2. Mr. K. E. Hopf has been invited to judge mastiffs, St. 

 Bernards, great Danes and Newfoundlands. They will 

 also try to get a judge from the East for the other classes. 



The Mount Sion Kennels, of Albany, N. Y., have just im- 

 ported from Mr. Wm. Marshall, of Scotland, the smooth- 

 coated St. Bernard bitch Scottish Ruby. This bitch is litter 

 sister to champion Scottish Leader and has won a number 

 of firsts and specials for Mr. Marshall on the other side. 

 These kennels have also purchased from W. C. Reick the 

 well-known champion Kingston Regent, also the rough- 

 coated bitch Miss Jerome and a smooth by Refuge II. out of 

 champion Cleopatra. Kingston B,egent has improved won- 

 derfully during the short time he has been at these kennels, 

 and will soon be placed in the stud, as will a son of champion 

 Beauchamp, Sir Marmaduke. Miss Jerome was bred to 

 Regent three weeks since. 



Mr. John H. Matthews, the owner of the dachshund Polly 

 Finders, is very proud of his bitch's success in scoring twice 

 for the Manice dachshund cup for the best American-bred 

 at New York and Boston shows. She has beaten the best, 

 and this is as much as any one can expect. Mr. Matthews 

 has another good one in Pretzel, but he says his good for- 

 tune, however, does not turn his heart from his first love, 

 the "bulls." Mr. Manice has done good service to the 



breed by putting up such a handsome and valuable trophy. 



There is a little inside history connected with the award- 

 ing of the wolfhound special cup for best kennel at Boston 

 that is interesting. The Seacrof t Kennel counted on win- 

 ning it with nine dogs. The N. E. K. C. special was given 

 according to the judge's book, without having the dogs in 

 the ring, and it went to the Marlborough Kennels, the judge 

 claiming that sortiness and levelness do not count when dogs 

 are shown in five classes. The Seacrof t kennelman kicked 

 vigorously at this and protested. The committee allowed 

 the protest, and the judge was told to have the dogs all in 

 and score them. He made a score of 10 for first, 5 for second, 

 3 for third, 2 for reserve, 1 for vhc. This was agreed to by 

 all parties concerned, and Mr. Brooks kept the score as the 

 dogs were brought forward and the judge called the prizes. 

 The result was Marlborough Kennels 38, and Seacrof t Ken- 

 nels 36. A novel mode of settling the question, to say the 

 least. The awarding of these wolfhound specials seems to 

 have stirred up a good deal of feeling, but the Seacroft Ken- 

 nel representative should curb his temper and accept defeat 

 and victory with the same equanimity, as becomes a man of 

 supposed experience in dog showing. 



Ben Lewis will take about sixty dogs down to Louisville 

 show, ^including many of the best dogs around Philadelphia, 

 from Seminole, Dr. Dixon's and other kennels. By the way, 

 we have seen a letter from Mr. John Read, in which he states 

 that Ben Lewis did see him on the Monday previous to the 

 Boston show, when the Leo B. — Duke of Wellington affair 

 was fully explained to him. and he in turn saw Mr. Love- 

 land, so it is evident that the management was early in pos- 

 session of the facts in the case, and with this explanation 

 due to Mr. Lewis this little sensation may be allowed to sim- 

 mer down. 



Dr. T. G. Sherwood, finding his veterinary practice increas- 

 ing, is compelled to move to larger quarters at 107 West 

 Thirty-seventh street, New York, where he will have better 

 facilities for treating his numerous patients. 



The Los Angeles show, while not a great moneymaker, left 

 the management on the right side of the ledger. The club 

 deserves every praise for their pluck in holdiag a show alone. 

 The club, however, will, we are afraid, find it a difficult 

 matter to fill the secretaryship, which Mr. C. A. Sumner has 

 so ably conducted for years past. As most of the duties con- 

 nected with the show fell upon his shoulders, the time this 

 consumed interfered with his business interests, and this is 

 the reason be urges for retirement. Mr. Sumner sends a pic- 

 ture of himself, taken by himself and also of his fox terriers, 

 Bonnie Brush and Bonnie Blot, both winners at the late show, 

 and seem very promising youngsters. 



We have had numerous inquiries lately for great Dane 

 puppies. If the breeders considered their interests they 

 would not hide their kennels but advertise them in our busi- 

 ness columns. 



Notices on the English Kennel Club show and the field 

 trials are unavoidably left over this week as well as several 

 letters. 



The Br itish Fancier scored in enterprise on the occasion of 

 the recent Kennel Club show. Although the paper is printed 

 200 miles from London they succeeded in setting down at 

 that show a full report of all the classes and the prize list 

 within twenty-four hours of the judging. The issue was 

 haudsomely gotten up in a special cover. This journal 

 Beems to be in anything but a moribund state as some of our 

 friends would have us believe. 



Forest And Stream l ist week published the earliest com- 

 plete report and prize list of the Boston show. Verb sap. 



The recent transaction whereby the English fancier Mr. 

 Tom Ashton became the purchaser of the noted Irish terrier 

 Crow Gill Sportsman, brings to light an important phase of 

 dog-buying ethics. Mr. Ashton, it seems, wired Mr. Jowett 



for the price of the terrier and the answer was S250. Mr, 

 Ashton wired "I'll have him," to which Mr. Jowett replied, 

 "Meet me at the show" (Liverpool). The latter then offered 

 a sum of money to relinquish the bargain; this was refused 

 and the upshot was that Mr. Jowett finally refused to let the 

 dog go. This resulted in a letter from Mr. Ashton's lawyer 

 demanding the dog and depositing the money, §250. Thus 

 brought to terms Mr. Jowett let the dog go. The outcome of 

 this transaction has an important bearing as showing that 

 the price on a dog once set and accepted by the party of the 

 second part, the bargain is binding on the seller at least, and 

 should be made so on the buyer's part. In passing we may 

 say that this terrier won three firsts at the Liverpool show, 

 and gave the great Breda Mixer the closest rub he has yet 

 had for the special. 



POINTS AND FLUSHES. 



\By a Staff Correspondent.] 

 Manitoba Fieid Trial Matters. 



Mr. R. J. GALLAUGHER, Secretary of the Manitoba Field 

 Trials Club, writes me as follows concerning the club's 

 programme for its forthcoming trials: 



"The directors meeting was held on Saturday evening, 

 April 23, in the office of Mr. Rose, Winnipeg, and all the 

 resident members were present. Mr. Simpson, the presi- 

 dent, was in the chair. A great deal of discussion took 

 place in regard to the amount to be offered in prizes. It was 

 finally agreed upon that §500 was all that the club could 

 guarantee, $250 for the Derby and -5250 for the All- Aged 

 Stake. Entries for the Derby close on July 1: no extension. 

 Five dollars to enter and -$10 to start. 'All-Aged entries 

 close Aug. 15 and are open to all dogs which have never won 

 first in any recognized field trials. Five dollars to enter 

 and §10 additional to start. Entry forms can be had on 

 application to the secretary. 



"An Amateur Stake will also be run, governed by the 

 same rules as that of last year. The prizes of this 'stake 

 will be announced later; §3 to enter and $2 to start. 



"The selection of a judge was not made. Several names 

 being submitted to the committee, the sec.-treas. was in- 

 structed to correspond with them in order to find out the 

 possibility of obtaining any of them. Another meeting will 

 be held on May 5, when this and other matters of interest 

 pertaining to the club will be dealt with. 



"At present, appearances would indicate that we will have 

 a larger entry, especially from the United States, and if I 

 succeed in getting special arrangements made with the 

 Northern Pacific Railway people for the free transportation 

 of dogs to our trials, as I hope to, then I am sure we will 

 obtain larger patronage from our friends in your country." 



The club, in my opinion, did wisely in cutting down its 

 prize list to limits which it reasonably could afford to 

 assume. It is decidedly better to hold any field trial on a 

 sound financial basis than to hold a big trial with a deficit. 

 If the latter results there necessarily is an assessment. That 

 is something to avoid. No sportsman, be his enthusiasm 

 ever so great, likes to pay money out, as a club member, 

 for a deficit in a sport which brings him so little direct 

 return. It is a great misfortune in the long run for the 

 competitors at a field trial to win large stakes which sub- 

 sequently have to be made good on the part of the club mem- 

 bers by an assessment. Interest is killed by it, members 

 withdraw and as a consequence the club either quietly drops 

 out of existence or ceases to give field trials thereafter. 

 ■ A club with a sound financial policy might give field trials 

 successfully year after year for an indefinite term. On the 

 other hand, if the expenditure exceeds the receipts it is a 

 certainty that the members will lose interest, and if the loss 

 is repeated once or a few times the club will cease to exist.

J. C. D., Baltimore, Md.— Rock is not registered in the A. K C Stud 

 Book. Rye (imported) A K.C.S B. 7,773. Breeder and pedigree 

 unknown. 



S. J., New Orleans, La.— Monk's Mack (A.K C S.B. 22,790) is 

 Monk of Furness (21,178) out of Nellie Grey (8,356, Vol. V.). 



R, O. De W. W., Albany, N. Y.— It would be invidious on our part 

 to recommend any kennel; look in our business columns, or a Kennel 

 Special will bring you what you want. 



Foxhound, Ohicopee Falls. Mass.— Feed three times a day with soup 

 mixed with boiled rice, oatmeal or dry bread, alternately. A couple 

 of dog biscuits in the morning, soaked or dry, will be beneficial. Give 

 him sbin bones to guaw on and also raw meat chopped up three times 

 a day. 



W. J. N., St. Louis, Mo.— You should get an experienced man to 

 crop your terrier's ears. Friar's balsam is a good thing. There is no 

 book on the subject. 



Ignorant, Philadelphia.— Treat for worms. Any of the advertised 

 remedies will do. 



Enthusiastic Reader, Fort Sill, O. T. — The dog biscuit advertised 

 in our business columns are good. About four biscuits a day would be 

 sufficient for your dog; feed one in the morning and three at ni°-ht 

 They are fed either dry or soaked, with hot water or a light soup.

A Kentucky Camp Hunt. 



As A guest of Mr. Francis J. Hagan and Mr. Howard 

 Tracey, I spent the week of March 19 at Mr. Hagan's lodge 

 at the Gap in the Knobs, 25 miles south of Louisville, on the 

 L. & N. Railroad, on a week's camp hunt after reynard. 



As hosts the above gentlemen are par excellence. Those 

 participating were the most noted fox hunters of Ken- 

 tucky, not only as private breeders for their own amusement 

 but to excel their neighbors in game, true dogs. Their suc- 

 cess has been such that their breeding has achieved renown 

 not only in Kentucky, but wherever a lover of the chase 

 resides. Mr. Hagan's lodge is admirably situated on a hill 

 with surroundings of thickets and dense cover, with lon» 

 stretches of blue grass pastures, just the place not only to 

 show speed, but the intricacies of a winding trail. Most of 

 the gentlemen participating are known through the sporting 

 press in a general way, but it's a pleasure to know them per- 

 sonally and to associate with them, note their peculiarities 

 and benefit by their long experience. 



Mr. Hagan is a young man of fine attainments, a lawyer 

 by profession and a fox hunter through love of the sport, 

 ambitious and a royal good host, who inherits the chivalry 

 and hospitality of a true Kentuckian. Mr. Howard Tracey, 

 like the true gentleman, quiet and polite, is instructive in 

 his conversation at all times, and polished to a fault. Messrs 

 Trigg and Herr are retired gentlemen that have passed the 

 half mile post in life, and who have been known for the past 

 forty years as the pioneers in fox hunting, and have bred 

 some of the most noted dogs in Kentucky. Mr. Trigg at 

 she present time, has two couples of the original Birdsong 

 flood, without any outcrosses. By his inbreeding these 

 bogs have lost in size, but still retain their wonderful fox 

 dense and gameness; they are solid red in color.
