FOREST AND STREAM. 
[Sept. 29, 1894. 
void in all the setter classes, and with about two exceptions 
there was really not a first class English setter shown. Both 
challenge classes were empty. In open dogs (6) the well 
known field dog Paul Bo took his fourth first and now enters 
the challenge division. He was looking well, barring a little 
fineness in muzzle, little fault can be found with him, 
Second went to Washtenaw Grouse, the winner at Detroit 
last year; if he had a little more stop his head would be well 
shaped. The well known Matane took third, he was shown 
light in flesh, with better denned stop his head would be 
good; is well built in other respects. Brighton Tobe. reserve, 
should be better bent in hocks and stronger muzzle, other 
parts commendable, fresh from his Manitoba victory he was 
not in bench show bloom, but the blue ribbon on the turf 
was good enough for him. Druid, Jr., vhc, has good bone 
and front, should have more rib and chest, rather plain in 
head. Mingo, Jr., is throaty and rather big and coarse and 
deficient in ribs. The bitch class brought out eleven. Lady 
Patch scored her third consecutive victory and was looking 
well. Next came Luna, a nice headed and fronted one, but 
light in body and rib, shows lots of quality. Misfortune, 
third, has a weak head but is good in body and legs, but 
shown light in flesh. Liberty II., fourth, should be deeper 
in back ribs, and droops in quarters. May, vhc., is a bit 
straight faced, plain in body, nice shoulders. Forest Trippo, 
vhc, is heavy in front, head well shaped, is throaty but de- 
served her position if not more. Forest Louisa, he, should 
be squarer in muzzle, and narrower and cleaner in front, 
nice body and quarters. Nita Gitana, a nice type of bitch, 
should have been higher up though her light eye and indif- 
ferent front are against her, and she could be better behind, 
still, all over she is more of the winner's type. In novice 
dogs Brighton Monk took the blue, he is a nice sort whom 
a little more rib development would improve. Royal Dan, 
second, is a fair headed one but throaty and long cast. 
Forest King, third, has a fairly typical head but is let down 
behind and was shown light. In bitches the winners have 
been commented upon. The kennel prizes went to Mr. 
Davey. 
Ibish Setters (Major J. M. Taylor, Judge).— Here was a 
great falling off and for this the Pittsburgh show and the 
non-entry of Oak Grove Kennels is responsible, as in former 
years with the Seminole and other kennels present competi- 
tion has been very strong, though tho decline began last 
year. No challenge entries. In open dogs (3) a very fair dog 
m Killane was placed at the top, excellent color, good head, 
though the nose turns up a trifle, good bone and legs, but a 
trifle large-sized. Don, second, was not in very good shape, 
a bit bowed in front, well ribbed and good color. St. Elmo, 
third, is light in muzzle and skull is too domy, nice color, 
legs and feet. One entry in bitches, River Roe: she has a 
sweet, typical head, and it is a good one, but her body is fiVt- 
sided, nice, sloping shoulders and good front — a very fine 
stamp. In novice dogs Don and St. Elmo were the entries, 
and m bitches Forest Sunset scored over Biddy, so in head 
and body, though a little off color, the issue was never in 
doubt. For the first time in years the kennel prizes did not 
fill. 
Gordon Setters (Major J. M. Taylor, Judge).— Here was 
another falling off, only five dogs benched and eight entries. 
Black Prince won in open dogs. There were no challenge 
entries. He is plain-faced and light in tan.no pencilings, 
good body and running gear. Second went to Guy, light 
and plain in body, should have more stop and a stronger 
muzzle. Rock, third, is heavy in shoulders and a bit straight 
in hocks, and but a moderate one in a moderate class. In 
bitches (2) two well known animals in Mount Royal Wanda 
and Countess Roxie came forward and were placed as named. 
The winner was the best Gordon in the show, fairly good 
head, clean shoulders, an improved bitch, and not meeting 
such hot company as last year, stood out prominently. The 
novice class was a repetition of the open dogs. Ben Lewis 
and his team were missed in this breed. 
Collies (R. McEwen s Judge). — It would seem that a 
prophet is of no account in his own country after all if we 
may judge by the collie entry which was very mediocre, but 
we know that Mr. McEwen is of some account, and as he 
pretty well represents colliedom in Canada we expected a 
light entry, the big American kennels having gone to Pitts- 
burgh. There were no challenge entries. In open dogs (6) 
Ightenhill Chief carried out our criticism at Detroit, where 
he was placed on a level with Finsbury Dude, third here; 
Chief has a good length of head, eye should be darker and is 
faulty in quarters, coat not dense enough, but is a fair all- 
round dog. Second to Finsbury Hero, who was out of top 
coat but good under, a bit short in muzzle. Finsbury Dude, 
third, is thick in head but was in good coat. An unnamed 
one of R. G. Steacey's took fourth; he is big in ear but rather 
nice head and expression, fair coat. Clip, vhc, has an open 
coat, but of good texture, a little full and round in skull, 
good length of head, faulty in tail and shown light. In 
itches (3) Old Hall Perfect, the winner, a new one, a 
daughter of Southport Perfection, was out of coat and shown 
quite fat enough, ears not well carried and are large, head 
fairly good but cheeky, nice expression Second to Shepardess, 
an eleven months pup, by Christopher; plenty of coat but 
not dense enough, light in loin and feet could be better, too 
open, and stop is too clearly defined. Nora, third, was last 
year's winner, is a little fine in muzzle and has big ears 
carried wide, too full in brow, coat of good length, but not 
so dense as last year. In novice dogs (5) Rufford Whitefriar, 
another new one recently imported, scored over Ightenhill 
Chief; the winner is a nearly sll white dog with a fair head, 
stop too well defined, ears large but well carried, good bone, 
but forefeet turn out at times, lacks undercoat and is light 
in body. Canadian Monarch was third, rather coarse in 
head, and big widely carried ears, coat should be denser. 
MacLeod, reserve, is faulty in ears, needs more rib and coat 
to be good. Shepardess won in bitches. Strathella, second, 
is pinched in muzzle and is a weedy, light-bodied bitch. 
Stratford Nellie, third, carries her ears like a deer, but has a 
sweet little head, and was, of course, like the others, out of 
coat. Ottenburn Peggy has ears like an Esquimaux, and is 
light in body. The kennel prize went to Saunders and 
Mighton. 
Bull-Terriers (T. S. Bellin, Judge).— These classes are 
generally strong in the Queen City, and this occasion proved 
no exception, but competition was chiefly confined to Mr. 
Higginson's and the Wentworth Kennels. Duke of Rochester 
was alone in challenge dogs and scored his debutal win; he 
looked fairly well, and is keeping his head and filling out in 
body nicely. In bitches Vesper Belle downed Kit, but con- 
sidering how very poor in head, coarse and thick the former 
is, in spite of good front and body, Kit's better head and 
equally good points behind that member should have been 
recognized. In open dogs our old friend Billy Bulger is an 
improved dog, front good, excellent body and stern, head a 
bit coarse, excellent quarters and shown in rare hard shape; 
this time he received his deserts, and should have won last 
year. Chatham Bob wrongly beat him last year; is light of 
eye and getting bull-headed. Harper's Whiskey, the Hor- 
nellsville edible dog, took third honors, and is a very promis- 
ing sort; toes should be closer, head a trifle thick, and stop 
should not be so clearly defined, but is excellent in shoulders, 
body and hind parts, and was well put down. Buxton Baron 
II. has a light, long body, is thick in skull, and pasterns 
should be stronger. In bitches (2) last year's winner, Edge- 
wood Robin, won again; she is a bit out at shoulder, is 
cheeky, stop too defined, and eye should be darker, otherwise 
good. White Rose, second, I preferred for first, better front, 
fair bone and good body, eye a bit light, and cheeky. In 
light-weight dogs there was no denying Principio's claims to 
first, as he was in tiptop shape and keepiug very well. Vesper 
WiJJow, second, is a little wide and out at elbow, fair head, 
that should get no coarser, feet open, nice body, in fact, a 
smart terrier. Barton, third, is a light- waisted pup of eight 
months, good bone and fair head and front. Bitches (3) 
proved a victory for Nellie Harper, a well known face. She 
is a granddaughter of Vero Shaw's old Nelson, and much 
like his picture; she was in whelp. Second to Bess of 
Rochester, her daughter, should be truer in placement of 
feet, rare bone and substance, fair head, but eyes should be 
darker, good body and front. Countess of Wentworth, third, 
is lightly f umished yet, feet turn out, eyes quite, large enough, 
good set on of stern. Harper's Whiskey won in dogs (4) and 
one of Uncle Dick's guesses came true. The others have 
been mentioned, and the same in bitches (5). 
Irish Terriers (Jannes Mortimer, Judge). — Not a great 
deal of quality this time In challenge dogs Brickbat, Jr., 
not looking so lusty as usual, was alone. Open dogs (3) saw 
Martin Shamrock first, a trifle coarse in head , good ears, and 
a little more rib would improve his body, good legs and feet 
and hard coat. The Canadian Ambassador, second, has been 
out before, shows a little black, looked thin but in fair coat. 
Carleton Blarney, third, is too long cast, and feet should be 
truer, and has not the terrier eye, too full. The Detroit 
debutante, Glenary Oonagh, won nicely in bitches (6), she is 
really a smart terrier, nice long clean head, and well made 
all round if she had a little more rib. Rugby Norah II. , 
second, has her faults in forelegs, ears and muzzle. Kill- 
arney Girl, third, a fair sort, but light and full in eye, and 
faulty in ears. Carleton Norah, vhc, is a trifle short-faced 
and wide in skull, and was shown short of coat, otherwise 
fair. Belle of Shandon,bc, has poor ears, and her coat is 
shot with black, has a fair head and good coat texture. 
Judy, c, was weedy4ooking and ragged in coat, all out of 
shape, or of course would have done better. With the ex- 
ception of Rose, second, the novice (6) winners have been 
mentioned. Rose is too big and rather coarse in head, good 
coat, body, legs and feet, but ears could be carried better. 
Dandte Dinmont Terriers (James Mortimer, Judge).— 
A poor lot. First and second were withheld in dogs (3) and 
third given to Bruce, a trifle high on leg, out of coat, very 
crooked in front, and coat and texture not right, not silky 
enough in head and ears. In bitches there were no entries. 
Bedlingtons (James Mortimer, Judge).— We can always 
expect a few of these game terriers at this show, but they 
don't seem to make much headway and are far from good. 
In open dogs a new lot, mostly owned by Mr. Barber, came 
forward. Mike, the winner, has a fairly wedge-shaped head, 
little topknot and ear tips, feet should be truer and loin be 
more arched, fair coat. Blucher, second, a liver, is heavy in 
shoulders and weak in muzzle, good topknot, coat soft, but 
he was in rare muscle and hard condition. Dash, third, is 
too big and coarse in head and is long cast, good front. In 
bitches (2) Miss Tack won nicely from Floss, who loses in 
head, but gains in body and coat, both good in topknot and 
tips. 
Scottish Terriers (James Mortimer, Judge).— With the 
Wankie Kennels out in force there was no doubt about the 
quality, and the display was a fine one. In challenge dogs 
champion Tiree and Kilroy was again the order, both looked 
well. Open dogs (5) furnished another win for Wankie Tarn, 
whose forelegs are his worst feature. Wankie Dandie, sec- 
ond, is not so cobby in body as Tarn, fair head, but loses in 
muzzle to the winner. St. Clair Don, third, is a bit on the 
leg, is quite long enough in body, rather light in muzzle, 
nice coat. Wankie Caddie, vhc. , is soft in coat and skull not 
flat enough, tail carried a bit too gayly, fair front, and ears 
should be a little smaller. In bitches (6) Vorda won from 
Clutha, beating in head, though ears are a trifle large, nice 
coat and body. CI utha's coat should be harder and muzzle 
stronger, nice ears and is well developed in quarters. Wan- 
kie Janet, third, is too long in body, was short of coat and 
throws her elbows out a little, good long head and smart 
outlook. St. Clair Annie is short faced and cheeky, excellent 
forelegs, but coat too open. Merry Coll, vhc, has been re- 
peatedly described, looked light in body here. Compton 
Belle has too short a head and is soft in coat, but she has a 
correct front. The novice dogs were chiefly repetitions and 
the same in bitches. Burton Bitters, a newly imported one, 
with some winnings on the other side, took only c.,but I 
could not find her; but she will probably be seen at Provi- 
dence. 
Sk\e Terriers (Ja mes Mortimer, Judge).— With the ex- 
ception of one entry Mrs. E. M. Williams farmed these 
classes, and we were pleased to welcome such a genial couple 
as Mr. and Mrs. Williams to the fancy. Skye terriers go well 
in certain districts, and there is no reason why, with such 
stock as Old Burgundy and others, the new kennel should 
not do well in America. Old Burgundy, a champion in the 
old country, was put down in beautiful shape and is cer- 
tainly an eye-opener for some of us in regard to coat and 
other characteristics, and there will be trouble ahead for 
some of the old cracks when he meets them. In bitches (2), 
Phumps, though out of coat, scored well over Princess May 
in head, length of body and substance. In novices (2), Fan- 
bur won over Buccaneer; is a more level-topped one in better 
coat; both low to the gi*ound and typical. 
Airedales (James Mortimer, Judge). — An increase in 
numbers in this breed, but with one exception they were poor. 
Booties was the only one that really came up to require- 
ments, and he is faulty behind, smart head, well-carried ears, 
and good coat and forelegs; nice size. Bess, second, is rather 
woolly-coated and ears not well carried. Nettle is too big 
and long-coated. 
Black and Tan Terriers (James Mortimer, Judge).— la 
the challenge class Broomfield Sultan in much better shape 
than in the spring beat Gypsey Girl in tan, quarters and set 
on of stern. In open dogs first went to a smart pup in Fred, 
who only needs time for rib development to make a name 
for himself; excellent front, head and hind parts and tail, 
good color, and thumb marks will become clearer, probably. 
Second to Darkie who scores over Sambo in clearness and 
shape of head; excellent markings, body should be shorter 
and muzzle is too Roman; large size. Sambo has too much 
stop. In bitches Roche Tulip, though a bit snipy and show- 
ing in whelp, scored nicely; good tail and thumb marks. 
Popsy, second, was lucky; though a smart sort is betwixt 
and between in size — neither in one'class nor the other; but 
for a small one has a clean, long head, is not very true in 
front and stern is set on too low. Rochelle Majestic, third, 
drop-eared, is off in front but good in thumb marks, too 
much stop and should be darker in eye. Chloe, vhc, is dark 
faced and light in body, and thumb marks and pencilings 
not distinct enough, also a little full in eye. Kennel prize 
went to F. C. McLean, who has a rather nice team and is 
very entusiastic in his fancy. 
Poodles (James Mortimer, Judge). — There was a good 
entry here but the absence of some of the best rather de- 
tracted from the quality. Rajah, looking a little gross but 
in excellent close curl, was unopposed in the challenge class 
for dogs in Diamant's absence. Chloe, from the Meadow- 
mere Kennels, won in Vivette's absence. Open dogs (7) saw 
Hill Hurst Nap, in excellent trim and curl, skull rather 
broad, win nicely from Tribune, whose eye should be darker 
and muzzle better filled in before the eye, but is a smart sort. 
Emperor, third, is a little wooly-coated and light in loin. 
Dan Lamont, vhc , turns his feet out, and but for his bight 
loin would be good in body; his stern is set on too low. 
Diablo, c , was in poor shape and is entirely too long cast. In 
bitches (6) Victoria won but I could not find her. Second 
went to Hill Hurst Posey, a little plain before the eye, but 
well shown and in grand curl and condition. Hill Hurst 
Dinah came third; she is well known, Black Maria, vhc, is 
a little rusty in coat and slack in back. Cybele and Cigar- 
ette were absent. lu cordeds (3) first went to White Pete, a 
plain dog, short in cords, good head. Dr. Vair, second, has 
a back as long as a street and dips a3 well; cords short. 
White Bob is something on the bobtail order. 
Spaniels (-E. M. Oldham, Judge). — One expects a go«d 
entry in Canada's breed and we are never disappointed. A 
change seems to be creeping on in favor of larger and more 
active cockers, and there was quite an evenness of type 
especially in the any other color where the reds are making 
great headway. The blacks, seemingly, are falling off in 
numbers compared to former years. Several new ones were 
shown and they generally got well up in the list. 
In Irish water spaniels, first went to Dan Rice, a big well 
built dog, but only in fair curl, fore part of legs not clothed 
as they should be and has very little topknot; has been used 
a good deal this month. Second to Jacko, not close enough 
in curl, fair head. Shot Rhue, a big coarse dog took third, 
short of coat, and Dennis dropped to a c, for very poor con- 
dition. Marguerite was the only bitch entry and she was 
all out of shape, but was the only one with properly clothed 
legs. ' 
Only two Clumbers and neither tip-top; Quester alone in 
dogs, well shown, and Maud, too light in body and leggy 
and short of coat, secured the corresponding prize for her 
sex. 
Field spaniels showed up well but were more or less out of 
shape. In challenge dogs Brantford Mohawk, a little light 
in body, was alone. In bitches Daisy Dean scored over Rose- 
dale Bess especially in condition, the latter showing evidence 
of recent maternal duties, but she has the best head of the 
two. In open dogs (3) the issue was not long in doubt, for 
Staley Baron scores so in length, skull and muzzle, though 
shown a little light. Echo was in ragged coat; Judge 
abseut. In bitches, first to Maid who scores over Black 
Queen in head and length, the latter was well shown but 
dips a trifle in back. Nancy, third, has a light pinched 
muzzle, skull too domy and shows quite enough daylight. 
In liver dogs the heavy headed and deep bodied Coles Hill 
Rufus won, followed by Napoleon who was shown light and 
ragged and is not deep or square enough in muzzle; 
Gypsy Belle, third, turns her feet out and looked tucked up 
in flank. Any other color fields were a mixed lot, the win- 
ner turning up in Jack who having had an argument with a 
trolley car had a leg smashed, but Dr. Nicoll set it so straight 
that it beats the other one; Spotted Boy was second, Nellie 
third, Antique fourth, losing in head and ears. In novices 
Spracklin's Belle was the only competitor, she is weak in face 
and body should be longer. In black cocker challenge dogs, 
Black Duke competing for specials only left the ribbon to 
Pickpania who was well shown; no challenge bitches. In 
any other color, Brantford Red Jacket, getting? gray in muz- 
zle, scored over Red Obo. Then came the black open dogs, 
and a new face, Still in the Ring, complied with his master's 
wishes and won well in hand too; capital head showing lots 
of quality, and front good if feet were a little truer, stands 
a trifle high at stern, but a cocker of good size and action; 
Commodore, well known, second, losing in head and front 
to winner, also in depth of body; Woodland Clipper, third, is 
a bit wide in front and rather coarse iu head but well 
shaped; Tim, fourth, is a bit leggy and has a field head and 
body on same order. In bitches (6) first went to Baby Ruth 
who is still light in body and not' true at elbow, but her 
charming head still serves her in good stead; Nellie, second, 
is a nice cobby sort a little full in brow; Rideau Reine was 
third, faulty in stop, good otherwise, Fossey Wiltshire, 
fourth, is alittle.weak inmuzzle, nice height and well shown; 
Miss Phyllis, an old face, was reserve, and Fanny he, is 
handicapped by a light eye, else she is nicely put together. 
In any other color dogs, Hamilton Jack repeated last year's 
victory, but had less cause to crow this time, though winning 
easily in head, front and condition over Keswick, his only 
opponent. Then came a bad class to judge, nearly all being 
reds and very even in type. These were any other color 
bitches (15), and gave the judge a bad half hour before he 
decided upon Fannie, a liver, for first choice. She was short 
of coat, but is a well-made cocker, with good running gear, 
if such a term can be. used with this breed, and I think it can 
in this case. Brantford Beauty I liked quite as well in body, 
well-ribbed, muzzle a trifle weak below the eye, excellent 
front, a good working stamp, but looking a little ragged 
owing to maternal duties. Raglan Russette, third, is one 
with good legs aud feet, body well formed if a little cobbier, 
rare quarters, but quite as large as we want this breed. Red 
Rose, fourth, is a trifle heavy in shoulders, but a good work- 
ing stamp if head were better shaped in skull, good legs and 
body, and quite large enough. These were all good cockers 
that could do good work iu the field for any one, and that is 
what we want a cocker for. Queenie Mac I could not find. 
Among the others I liked Polly Harmon, a little long-faced 
and also long in body, but an active stamp of cocker, though 
her front should be straighter. Red Duchess is a pup with 
a capital head, but small yet, and undeveloped in body; she 
did better in the puppy class. The novice dog winners have 
been commented on, and in bitches all but the winner, Cora 
II., were in the previous classes. None of them are good iu 
head, and faulty fronts are noticeable. Raglan Ruby is too 
long-faced. In puppy dogs Tim won over Billy, followed by 
Red Sultan, but neither of them will set the lake on fire. In 
puppy bitches the judge felt like giving Red Duchess hotter 
recognition, and placed her over Queenie Mac, first going to 
Woodland Princess, a very nice-headed one, but a shy shower; 
quite long enough in body. Mr. Oldham was consistent and 
was able to raise them up a bit without creating undue com- 
ment — they just ran that way. 
Dachshunds (James Mortimer, Judge).— There was little 
quality here in open dogs. Topaz, a large dog, a bit coarse 
all through, was alone; he is fairly well shaped, but too big, 
his master; an old reader of Forest and Stream, thinks the 
world of him. In bitches two pretty little German hound- 
terriers in Maeuschen von Vento and Vento Flossie were 
placed as named; they have short ears, heads and bodies 
compared to the general run of these dogs in America and 
were black and tan iu color. They come from good working 
stock and are said to be very game 
Beagles (Major J. M. Taylor, Judge).— In the language 
of the classics tnese classes were a "cinch" for the Hornell- 
.Harmony Kennels. This is a pity, as with such a team as 
they are showing now they could look serene no matter how 
hot the company they found themselves in. In the large 
sized challenge classes Sherry, looking tiptop, and champion 
Elf were alone, the latter keeps herself well, although of 
cqnrse rather heavy in neck and shoulders. In open dogs (2) 
Roger W. beats Pomp in body and length of head, the latter 
being a bit long, but well formed. Bitches had three entries, 
but one was absent, and both prizes fell to the Covert Ken- 
nels with Daisy Corbett and Rose Graham, the former look- 
ing deeper and lustier in body and the latter losing in 
strength of muzzle, but good behind that. In novices (2) a 
very fair bitch in Kitty Clover, a bit out at elbow, good head 
and body, beat Rose Graham. 
In under 13in. the challenge prizes fell respectively to 
champion Royal Krueger and champion Ava W., both, espe- 
cially the latter, looking in splendid form. Two well known 
dogs, oft described, furnished the winners in the dog class (2), 
Razzle and Little Wonder. The only competition was in the 
next class for bitches, where it was nip and tuck between 
Evangeline and Kitty Clover. The latter is a little dished in 
muzzle, elbow out at times, but a well made bitch, with lots 
of character. Evangeline gets it in head and front a trifle. 
Dazzle was third; she is light in substance compared to the 
other two, and but for Hia's fatness should have given place 
to the latter, as she is beaten in front and body, and carriage 
of stern. Hia was certainly deserving of something. The 
H. & H. pack was beautifully shown, and a prettier, more 
sorty lot, when held together, would be very difficult to find. 
Fox-Terriers (T. £>. Bellin, Judge).— We expected to we
