DES MOINES DOG SHOW. 
The first annual dog show of the Des Moines Kennel Club, 
if not remarkable for the number of entries, was certainly 
remarkable for its quality, as may be gathered from the fact 
that many prominent kennels were represented. The show 
was held under a canvas tent in the Fair grounds, which, 
although very warm, was all right so long as the rain kept 
off but, unfortunately, it poured in torrents all Thursday, 
and the best part of the night as well, which made things 
very unpleasant for man and beast alike. The officers of the 
club did all in their power in the interest of the exhibitors 
and were fairly successful for a first attempt, but the stalls 
might with advantage have been kept cleaner and the dirty 
straw, etc., was in most instances shovelled under the 
benches, a most reprehensible practice, and one which doubt- 
less will be corrected another year, the benches also in many 
cases should have been nearer the ground, thus avoiding all 
possibility of dogs hanging themselves. It is scarcely 
necessary to say that with Spratts doing the feeding, with 
Murphy at the head of affairs, no fault could be found on 
this score. The attendance was excellent and averaged 
between three and four thousand daily in the first two days 
of the show, but the wet weather considerably lowered it on 
the remaining days, but still I believe the club will come out 
on the right side and they richly- deserve to. Among those 
noticed present were: Arthur Trickett, C. E. Bunn, F. 
Derier, Mr. Piatt, Dr. Qnigley, A. C. Shallenberger, J. W. 
Fornoff, Mr. and Mrs. J. C. Weiss, H. T. Robinson, C. F. 
Huttenlocker, B. F. Lewis, L. Orr, W. F. Clarkson, Chester 
E. Clapp, A. &. Eberhart and L. F. Whitman. Mr. John 
Davidson judged all classes and seemed to give satisfaction. 
Mastiffs. — Sinaloa was the only representative in the 
challenge class. She is typical, but too undersized. In open 
dogs it is a close thing between Marquis and Ealderman; the 
latter scores considerably in skull and substance, but loses 
in color, eye, ear and muzzle, and taking his faulty ear car- 
riage, light eye and "puggy" muzzle into consideration I 
think the decision to-day a correct one. Jack Raglan made 
a good third, a good little all-round dog of excellent type and 
color. Jack and G-rover C. scarcely deserved their letters, 
both being weedy specimens, faulty in skull, muzzle and ex- 
pression. In bitches Minna Minting won very easily; she 
was in good shape; but how Queen came to get second is a 
puzzle, as beyond being in nice condition she has absolutely 
nothing to commend her, and both Lady Cobrey and Ruby 
Chancellor in spite of their poor condition simply smother 
her in all mastiff points. 1 like Lady Cobrey the better, 
as, although Ruby scores a bit in muzzle, Lady has it 
in all other points, and is a nice quality bitch. Only two 
puppies put in an appearance, a big and a little one, and 
the big one got it, but is a bad one, with a very poor head and 
light body and shows the haw badly. Lady Van, although 
anything but a flyer, certainly should have won. 
St. Bernards —Sir Bedivere first, Rustic Beauty second 
was the order in the challenge class. Neither were in full 
bloom, but will doubtless come round again all right when 
the weather becomes more favorable and Arthur gets his 
work in on them. In open does Alton III. in good coat and 
condition won, he is a good-bodied dog with an excellent coat 
and color, but faulty in muzzle and expression. Alton Boy 
has a good head of nice quality and expression, but is poor 
in color and light in body and quite out of coat. Complete 
is a grand bodied dog, a large, massive dog, sound, with ex- 
cellent bone, legs and feet, but loses in head in head and 
expression. In bitches, in their present condition it is a very 
close thing between first and second, and I rather incline 
toward Lady Adelaide II. Alta Berne was thin and all out 
of coat, having only recently weaued puppies; in this respect 
Lady Adelaide was far better and she also scores in muzzle, 
although she loses in eye and expression. Myrra is a good 
headed bitch with an excellent muzzle, but is far too small. 
Lady Lowden is none too good in head, is too small, but is 
good in color and shadings. Luce Floretta is excellent in 
color and shadings, but weak in head and far too small. 
The challenge class for smooths was worth going a long 
way to see, for the three brothers, Alton II., champion Mel- 
rose and Lawrence Garza are all three grand and worthy 
representatives of this beautiful breed, and it is a case of 
"How happy could I be with either, etc.," but still at the 
same time I do not agree with the award that put them in 
the above order, and am of the opinion that Melrose should 
have had the coveted blue with quite a little to spare. He is 
a more massive dog all through, far better in loin and hind- 
quarters, also in chest and shoulders, and also scores in color 
and shadings, and in my opinion is the best in color and 
type. Lawrence Garza, a greatly improved dog with great 
substance for his inches, grand skull, good muzzle and ex- 
pression, is handicapped by being too small. Alton H. was 
certainly not looking his best, being light, but he is on the 
houndy side, laks shadings, is none too good behind and 
faulty in tail carriage. In open dogs Patrician won from 
Argyle Alpha; the winner was in grand condition and scores 
in color and shadings, but loses to Alpha in muzzle, expres- 
sion, size and quality, and had the latter been in as good 
shape as the winner he certainly would have been entitled to 
the verdict. Sir Nero is a poor one with a wretched head and 
awful ears, and never should have been placed over Illinois 
Pontiff, a nice-quality puppy on the small order. In bitches 
Lady Judith easily disposed of the. ordinary La Flora. In 
puppies Illinois Pontiff, already noticed, won with a lot to 
spare. 
GREAT DANES.— These were good for a show of this cali- 
ber. In open dogs King William, a nice, upstanding, well 
built, active dog, won; but he is poor in head and expression, 
light in eye and of wrong type, and for this reason I should 
have placed the enormous young dog Beau Brumroel at the 
head of affairs; he, although too cheeky and somewhat 
coarse in head, neck and shoulders, is nearer the correct 
type, as his breeding (Lord Wolverton— Senta.) would indi- 
cate. He loses to the winner in front and stifles, he being 
far too straight behind. Col. Moro, third, has far the be3t 
head, a good head of nice quality and correct type, with 
grand legs and feet, but he is too undersized. Kaiser is 
coarse in head and neck, but fair otherwise. In bitches Mr. 
Frank Anderson's blue bitch Flora won very easily, being 
far the best in type and quality, has a good clean head, neck 
and shoulders, and is a graceful mover. Her white markings 
are against her and she is suffering from a "whipped" tail, 
which the owner of the second bitch seemed to think, after 
being instigated by another, should have barred her from 
winning, and tried to make out the bitch was suffering from 
mange and should therefore be disqualified; but the veter- 
inarian calmed his fears by certifying, after he had exam- 
ined the bitch, that she was not suffering from mange or 
any contagious disease, but as the instigator of the whole 
business is a quack "vet," one would naturally suppose that 
he at' least could tell the difference between mange and a 
"whipped" tail. Princess Lucile is coarse and common in 
head, lacking all true type, but is fair otherwise. This bitch 
escaped from the show and had not been recovered by the 
time the show closed. Lady Inca is a very moderate speci- 
men. Ina, the winner in puppies, is a really promising red 
bitch, with nice clean neck and shoulders, a clean cut head, 
bit weak in muzzle and is a nice, gracefully made bitch all 
over. The others were a poor lot. 
Bloodhounds.— Mr. Roger Williams's young bitch Vigi- 
lant came against that enod hound, Jack Shephard. As it 
handicaps a bitch so in this breed to compete against a dog, 
especially as in this case case, a young bitch against a 
matured old dog, the judge decided to give them equal first; 
but I think the dog was entitled to win outright, as the bitch 
will never be as good, eveu for a bitch, in head properties as 
he is. Highland Maxey, a moderate deerhound, in poor 
shape, was the only specimen. Those two good wolfhounds, 
Osmaday and Zemoza, were shown in wretched condi- 
tion. The bitch is the better of the two. Only one grey- 
hound, a bad one that did not deserve a notice, but the judge 
was lenient and gave it a first. 
Foxhounds. — The well known Ranger II. was the only 
challenge entry, and Mr. Williams's Argonaut and Bowsprit 
were the only representatives in the open classes; the latter 
is a very sweet quality bitch. 
Pointers. — Tempest being absent gave Rush of Lad a 
walk-over in the challenge class for heavy weight dogs, and 
in bitches there were no eutries. .In heavyweight dogs, open 
class, Molton Banner rightly defeated Gamester and easily 
won the special for best poiuter in the show; he has a good 
head and excellent muzzle. In bitches Emblem was indulged 
with a walk-over, Lass of Kippen being transferred to the 
light weight division, where she also scored a bloodless vic- 
tory, and in light weight dogs Lad of Rush had no difficulty 
in defeating Ned Stark, a poor one at all points. 
English Setters. — These were good classes, quality and 
correct type being well to the fore. In open dogs, that 
grandly made little one, Cactus, was placed at the head of 
affairs; he is of true type, has good shoulders, legs and feet, 
grand loin and hindquarters, and nicely sprung ribs; his 
most pronounced faults are his yellow eyes and faulty car- 
riage of flag. The newly imported Bald Rock came second; 
he is a liver and white ticked dog with a good skull and ex- 
cellent muzzle and grand action and tail carriage, but is 
somewhat short and thick in neck, a bit loaded in shoulders, 
and, to my mind, is too low and cloddy throughout; his ears 
are faulty and spaniel-like. Zippo II., third, is an enormous 
dog, has a good type of head but is a bit coarse all over and 
is faulty behind. Wordsley Dude I like as well as anything 
in the class; a fine upstanding, rangy blue belton of excellent 
type and quality, and bar being out at the elbows is second 
to none shown. Jack Berwyn has a fair head but was all 
out of coat. Bitches were another good class, Flower of 
Sulphur winning, closely pressed by Sousie. The winner is 
an excellent bitch of sweet quality and type, and was in good 
condition. Sousie is a good-headed one, but loses to the 
winner in shoulders, condition and feather, having only 
recently weaned a litter. Chick, third, a sweet-headed lemon 
and white, was far too fat, and is faulty in pasterns and 
might well have given way to Maid Marian, another very 
high quality and good-bodied one, but a bit weak in muzzle. 
Chris, the only puppy shown, was a poor one. 
Irish Setters.— Pride of Patsey easily defeated Montauk, 
Jr., in the challenge class for dogs, and in challenge bitches 
Elfred a was fortunate in being alone, as it would not take a 
good one to beat her. In open dogs, Bob, Jr., was an easy 
winner, all things considered, although I donot quitelikehis 
head, it being a bit short and thick; but he was in grand con- 
dition and feather. Patsey's Pride has a good body, legs and 
feet, and color, but has a poor, plain head, and I preferred 
the Claremont Kennels' other string, Chief Red Cloud, as, 
although a bit weak in muzzle, he is far better in skull and 
type, and equally good in other respects. Rags well deserved 
his letters, as did Shamrock Bruce, who has a fair head, but 
is poor in color and coat, and has a bad eye, but is good in 
body. In bitches, Pride's Beauty was placed at the head of 
affairs, but I again preferred her kennel companion, Pride's 
Heather, who, however, only got third. She is not pleasing 
in eye and expression, but is the best in skull and muzzle, 
and beats the winner in loin and in color. Delphine, well 
known, separated this pair; she has the most substance, but 
is beaten in quality, color and style. Pat Gleason, the only 
dog puppy, is a nice one, spoiled by his bad eye. Pat's Rose 
is weak-headed and weedy. 
' Gordof Setters.— Heather Lad had no difficulty in dis- 
disposing of Leo B. in the challenge class for dogs and in the 
class for bitches Princess Louise entered in the catalogue 
as Lady Waverly was alone. In open dogs Homer S. had an 
easy win as his only competitor was a bad one. In open 
bitches Sante Marie won from Dwight Erne, scoring in color 
and body but losing a bit in head. Maid of Waverly is a poor 
one. 
Collies.— Old Squire, looking very gray and ragged but 
still full of life was alone in the challenge, class for dogs, as 
was Metchley Surprise in bitches. In open dogs Chesterford 
Hero, looking well, but not in full coat, was an easy winner. 
Moray, second, is a big, coarse dog, thick head with poor 
ears and was too high up, Prince Charlie was hardly u-ed 
with v. h. c. and should have been an easy second, being a 
good bodied dog and far less coarse than the others. Bitches. 
Ormskirk Gypsy Maid had an easy win, she is a nice quality 
of bitch but was not in full coat. Cora Belle has gone 
thick in head and coarse and Lady Al De Ber II would have 
beaten her had she had any coat on her, a nice quality bitch 
with fair head and ears but too small. 
Kitty of Cork, Ben Lewis's well known Irish bitch, was the 
only spaniel in the show. 
Fox-Terriers.— There were no entries in the challenge 
classes. In open dogs the competition was fairly keen but 
they were not well placed, as Lansdowne Triton, only third, 
should have won easily; he is far the best in head and char- 
acter, has the best jaw and good legs and feet. Wardsley 
Trapper, the winner, lacks coat, is weak in jaw and has 
hardly a sound tooth in his mouth. He is a showy, terrier- 
like little dog, but was outclassed both by Triton and Pov- 
erino. Raby Pitcher had no right in the first rank; he is 
very moderate in head, has poor ears, is shelly in body and 
bad behind, and I venture to say will never be as fortunate 
again. Striker, a white dog, too full in eye and shown too 
light, ought not to have been placed over Hillside Royal; the 
latter has a long, powerful head and strong jaw but is dished 
in face, has too much lip and is too large in ear. In bitches,
