FOREST AND STREAM. 
[Sept. 29, 1894. 
is always strong round Boston and Providence, and this 
show proved no exception. There were dogs here, not one 
nor two, but many that were lightly built enough to suit 
any field enthusiast, but still retaining their quality and the 
sort of head we want on an English setter. Old champion 
Paul Gladstone again missed another ribbon, being entered 
for specials only; it is wonderful how well this old dog keeps 
up; he was twelve years old last June, In bitches there was 
no denying the claims of champion Blue Nell for first place 
over Victress Llewellyn, whom she scores so in head and 
hindparts and general look of quality. Open dogs dogs (23) 
was a very large class, and a difficult one to judge. Cactus 
was all right for first place, as he is a well-made dog all 
round, but Leonard, second, was a decidedly lucky dog, and 
there were several that could claim his place; he is large, 
long-headed and plain in such company; good legs, but more 
rib would improve his body. Albert Ranger, reserve, is a 
much better dog, a little full in brow and light in loin, other- 
wise of good shape, and a dog that can give Leonard points. 
Harry L., a very good, typical- headed son of Prince L., who is 
himself thick and heavy in head, but deserved mention, 
should be shorter in loin and have deeper back ribs, 
but his head is a model for type and quality, and was 
assuredly overlooked when in the ring, Gasseau, vhc, has 
another nice typical head, and should have been higher. 
Bald Bock, also vhc, is rather large in head but of good 
English type, a little throaty, but can beat Leonard all 
over. San Pablo, he, has a very fair head, faulty in pasterns, 
and a little drooping in quarters, good ribs. Joe Brown, he, 
is a trifle coarse in head and throaty, well shown in nice 
coat. Worsley Dude must have been surprised to get only a 
card, but his faulty forelegs may account for it, though it 
was hard ' on him Then there was Dad Monarch, un- 
noticed, heavy, but he has lots of quality and true type. Tom 
Aldrich showed three nice looking black native setters, but 
of course they are not "Anglo" enough for these days. 
Open bitches (11). The winners are well known, and at last 
John Brett was satisfied when his Maid Marion scored for 
first; she was in exquisite shape considering her long jour- 
neying lately. Prima Donna, another well made bitch, 
equally well known, came second. Flower of Sulphur, re- 
serve, is a trifle long cast, just a shade more stop and toes 
should be closer* good legs and ribs. Reverdy's Leah, vhc, 
well deserved her letters, a nice type of bitch all over, but 
back a little too flat. Nellie P., vhc, droops a trifle in 
quarters, body should be deeper, very fair head. Monk's 
Nun has scarcely kept her promise; she will always be on 
the small side. Lilly L., he, is not true at elbow, and none 
too good behind. A very fair pup in Saxon won in dogs, 
muzzle should be stronger and squarei. Pendennis, second, 
has an excellent front and bone, head a trifle coarse. Nell's 
Flora won in bitches, nice legs and head, loses in shoulders. 
Daisy Hunter II., second, is light in body yet, and more stop 
would improve an otherwise good head. Joseph Lewis took 
the kennel prize. 
Irish Setters (TF. Tollman, Judge).— Here was a chal- 
lenge class calculated to try the nerviest judge of "reds." 
Inchiquin, champion Tim, Pride of Patsy, Montauk Jr., 
champion Kildare, champion Kildare Glenmore, Duke Elcho 
and champion Seminole. To champion Kildare, the dog we 
have always said would wear Tim's mantle, fell the honor of 
winning, followed by Inchiquin, both of them well shown, 
while the Seminoles showed the effects of travel. In bitches 
champion Queen Vie could not be denied in another hot class 
with.snch matrons as champion Noma, who took the reserve 
card, Edna H., champion Laura B. looking fat, champion 
Elfreda who should be shown in better flesh, and Delphinne. 
In open dogs (5), one absent, Bob Jr., in beautiful feather and 
condition, scored; his head is a trifle coarse, but excellent 
body and hind parts and very pretty. Second went to Pem- 
berton, a little plain headed, but good color and well shown. 
An old acquaintance in Eudora showed up once more and 
proved a winner in open bitches (7); if she had a little better 
muzzle little fault could be found with her. Lena, second, 
seemed in whelp; not clean cut enough in head and neck. 
Delloraine, reserve, I could not find. Lizzie, vhc, is small 
and has an English head. Mollie was also in the three letter 
division. _ Rochdale was absent in dog pups and but two came 
forward in bitches. It is no use saying much about them as 
they will be different twelve months hence. 
Gordon Setters (W. Tallman, Judge).— The classes were 
exceptionally well filled. In challenge dogs (3), Heather 
York absent, first went to that smart setter Ranger B , who 
put out Leo B., and is better in body, cleanness of markings 
and rib. The well-known Princess Louise had a walkover in 
the next class and was looking well. In open dogs (8) first 
went to the familiar Homer S., often described in this jour- 
nal. Second to Dixie, not very good in front and should be 
deeper and squarer in muzzle. No other mention was given, 
but Trim B. and Comus should have been noticed. Open 
bitches (11), Maid of Waverly did better than at Boston by 
winning first here. A little more flesh would improve her; 
she lacks penciling and thumb marks on feet and pasterns; 
too much tan on head. Sante Marie, second, should be 
squarer in muzzle; was well shown. Nora, reserve, is a fair- 
made one, faulty in head and rather small, if I got the right 
one. These dogs were benched in sundry places instead of 
in a batch. The well-known Fenmont, first at Boston in the 
spring, could do no better than vhc. here, and Countess 
Roxie— shades of fame — saw he tacked over her stall. In 
puppies, King Mont and Flo Noble were the winners, but we 
could not find them. Criticising puppies is an unsatisfactory 
business, anyhow. Flo Noble and Belle Noble took the bitch 
prizes from Nola and Minnie-Ha-Ha, the former beingfull in 
eye and brow, and could be better in front, while Minnie is 
mixed in tan and a trifle coarse-headed, nice body, ribs and 
quarters, and she might have been reserve. 
Spaniels (J. Otis Fellows, Judge).— These were few in 
number and there was no redemption in quality. Brantford 
Mohawk took the challenge prize in field spaniels. In open 
dogs Manuscript, the only entry, did not turn up. In bitches 
there were only two, Maid and Gossip, and for the first time 
in history the former got ahead of the latter at the finish. 
Maid is too high on the leg and straighter in forelegs still. 
Gossip gets it a trifle in type and general quality and body. 
Gossip is wofully crooked in front and head is rather narrow. 
In cocker challenge dogs the well-known Bim, looking very 
well, secured the ribbon unopposed. In open dogs, other 
than black, Brantford Ruf us took the ribbon in spite of his 
coarse, high skull. Cousin Dick is not a bad sort; a bit high 
in skull, excellent muzzle, fair legs, not quite straight enough 
in front, good body. In open black dogs Black Baby, in 
Donovan's absence, had a walk-over, and luckily, too, for he 
is a big curly dog that must be over weight, excellent feather 
and earage. In bitches Miss Phyllis scored once again, this 
time having nothing better than Doddie, faulty in front, to 
beat. In any color bitches Floss won; she is ten years old and 
this year 41 partridges were shot over her in one day, in Maine; 
front straight, but too much daylight under her for modern 
ideas, though not for a good working stamp; eye is too full 
and muzzle weak. Judy, second, is scarcely up to form, is 
light in body, front good, but warts on nnderjaw make it 
appear undershot, and they should be removed at once. The 
puppies showed nothing of much moment. Taunty, the 
winner in bitch puppies, has a fair head, but is pinched in 
muzzle, yet good in front. Juanita II., second, is curly. As 
may be surmised from the above, the principal kennels were 
conspicuous by their absence, and the mutterings at Boston 
really did amount to earnestness, after all. G. L. Farr took 
the kennel prize for cockers. Kitty of Cork was the only 
water spaniel and took the blue ribbon, though almost bare 
of curl and topknot. 
Collies (James Mortimer, Judge).— Lots of quality here 
and one or two new ones to gather honors. In challenge dogs 
poor old Squire, dirty and ragged in coat, hung his head as 
much as to say, "I know it, but what can I do; I have no 
voice in this matter and would much rather stay at home." 
What is the use of subjecting this grand old dog to such 
humiliation, surely he has earned a comfortable retirement 
after years of triumphs such as seldom fall to the lot of one 
dog. Wellesbourne Charlie, although short of coat lr looked 
bright and healthy and his action was in marked contrast 
to the Squire's, who could scarcely pick his way across the 
ring. Flurry HI. had little difficulty in scoring over Metch- 
ley Surprise, being in excellent trim for the season. In open 
dogs (U) competition soon narrowed down to Seminole Ken- 
nels' Golddust and Woodlawn Trefoil, Mr. Jarrett handled 
the former and made the most of him, he was out of coat 
and looked light, showing his faults in hind parts conspicu- 
ously; his head and forepart pulled him through, but he had 
a close shave, as Trefoil scores from head back both in coat 
and formation, is not true in front, but boasts a good head 
and ears fairly well carried, though too far over. Curzon, 
looking light and out of coat, as usual, was vhc The others 
call for no mention, except it be Glenfyne, who is long cast, 
a little broad in skull, good ears and fair coat. Open bitches 
(11) showed a few good ones, notably Woodlawn Sunset, 
whose star is rising, sweet, clean, long head, nice ears and 
excellent coat for the season. Shepardess, not so clean in 
skull as the winner, but dense in coat, ears well carried, good 
legs and action. Ormskirk Gypsey Maid, short sharp faced, 
took reserve, and Fannie, vhc, shows too much stop and 
brow, fair ears, nice body. Cora Belle of Nesseldown, also 
vhc, is rather full and round in skull and ears are heavy. 
Aurora, he, shows quality, but ears are too large and in- 
clined to prick, fair head. The kennel prize went to Seminole 
Kennels. 
Bulldogs (James Mortimer, Judge). — A capital showing, 
and seldom do we get such a lot outside of New York or 
Boston. The fun started with King Lud and Wal Hampton 
in challenge dogs, and bulldog men will surmise the result; 
finish, quality, head and body were all in His Majesty's 
favor. Saleni, The Graven Image and Adiscombe Gypsy 
made up an interesting bitch class, but the issue was never 
in doubt, Saleni scoring so in body, ribs, chop and wrinkle 
and skull. All were well shown and, of course The Image 
scored over Gypsv in head properties and body. In open 
dogs, over 451bs., His Lordship stood out like a statue, unap- 
proachable and indifferent, while Rustic King II. did his 
W. NORMAN BIGGS' 3 MASTIBF BRAMPTON BEAUTY. 
best to look older and more fit for such company; at present 
he is promising, not broken up enough yet in face and stop, 
but well shown. King Orrey was absent. In the bitch class 
Katisha. who would be improved with more cushion, deeper 
in under jaw and muzzle, good shoulders well out, fair 
body, rather loosely hung together, and not short enough, 
won over Lady Nan, plain in front and long backed. Juno, 
a litter sister of Rustic King's, is faulty in ear carriage, ex- 
cellent legs, if a bit more out at shoulder would be better. 
Derby May, he, is toowedgyin head, has big ears carried 
down; should be deeper and squarer in muzzle. Hucknall, 
Gypsey and Mischief, the new ones, were absent, as well as 
Charmion. 
Bull Terriers (James Mortimer, Judge).— Although the 
classification was simple, some good dogs put in an appear- 
ance and the quality was even. Cordona shown very fit, 
disposed of Duke of Rochester beatingin front and head and 
condition; in bitches champion Attraction, who keeps her- 
self wonderfully well, forced Loumont Kit to the rear 
especially in muzzle, eye, bone and depth of rib. A smart 
terrier in Little Flyer took the blue in open dogs (9) beating 
Billy Plimmer, second, in strength of jaw, set on of stern, 
etc.; Harper's Whiskev, described last week, was reserve, 
thus displacing Billy Bulger who was vhc; Bruce also given 
three letters has a long head but is cheeky and heavy in 
shoulders; Prince Gully, vhc, is wide in front, cheeks not 
flat enough, nice body; Gully the Great and Aspiration were 
absent; London C, is too broad in skull. In bitches first 
went to the well known Edgewood Matchless, with New 
Market Siren, secotud, light eye, cheek too prominent and a 
bit straight behind; Nellie Harper was vhc, seemed in 
whelp, she was at Toronto; Honey Bee, vhc. , stands too close 
in feet, which throws her elbow out; Young Miss Giddy, vhc, 
has excellent front and body though the latter is a trifle 
long, very fair head, well deserving her place; Bess of 
Rochester could do no better than vhc. here, she is unfin- 
ished yet. The puppy class was divided and firsts given to 
Harper's Whiskey and Bess of Rochester. 
Fox-Terriers (T. S. Bellin, Judge).— So many familiar 
faces were seen in the ring here, both of dogs and owners, 
that it looked almost like a New York or Boston gathering, 
and the quality was naturally of the best. The challenge dog 
class brought out three cracks — Bleniton Victor II., Warren 
Safeguard and Starden's King, in the order named. Victor 
looked light and leggy to the others, but his cleanness of 
head, shoulders, neck, etc., pulled him through. Starden's 
King and Safeguard are more terrierlike, to my idea, but the 
former loses in neck and shoulders; was well shown and so 
was Safeguard. Warren Captious had the next class to her- 
self. Then came another well-known lot of dogs in the open 
class (11). Blemton Rasper proved the winner; he looked a 
trifle light and long in body. Beverwyck Royalist secured 
second; he looked light, too, and has not filled out in rib yet. 
Reserve to Werner, whom I did not catch — as a puppy he 
took an early departure. Blemton Stickler, Warren Sales- 
man and Warren Tip Top were the vhc. dogs. Tip Top and 
Stickler are well known, and Salesman has an excellent 
front and is a terrier all over; could be closer in toes and brow 
should be flatter. Worsley Trapper could only get he in 
this company, while Seaeroft King, described at Toronto, 
was also in the two-letter division. Hillside Royal is light 
in body and skull too full. 
The bitch class (13) was another warm lot, but the Ruther- 
ford kennel supplied first and second winners with Warren 
Ripple and Duty; this old kennel keeps the others euessiug 
all the time with their home-bred ones. Ripple I thought a 
bit. lucky to beat Duty, standing a little wide in front, and is 
too round in skull, yet better bone than Duty, but not so 
hard m coat; nice ears. The well known Blemton Vindex 
was reserve; should be stronger before the eye and in pas- 
terns. The vhc. division had Spinster and Beverwyck Twi- 
light; both are well known and neither is good in muzzle, 
while Spinster's ears should come down. Seaeroft Empress, 
he, a nice-bodied bitch, is pinched in muzzle. Blemton 
Erminie, he, has a nice head if eye were darker; is not quite 
straight in front and body should be shorter. Warren Sales- 
man won in dog puppies with Blemton Fire Brand second, 
but he will not set the Thames on lire unless he "fines down 
in skull." Dominican and Domino were placed as at the 
specialty show. In bitches a nice-fronted daughter of Star 
den's King pulled off the victory over Hill Hurst Diana. I n 
Wires, which were also good, Oakleigh Bruiser and Sister 
Pattern farmed the challenge classes tor Mr. Hunnewell. In 
open dogs (5) another blue ribbon fell to his share by the aid 
of Cribbage, who looked better than we have seen him in 
some time, but needs his whiskers trimming. Brittle came 
next, repeating the Toronto placing under the same judge 
arid our criticism then is good for this occasion. Brittle was 
lucky, good dog as he is; he was not in bloom and with no 
front teeth he should give way to his son Brittle Beaut. 
Mister Great Snap and Halifax Revival were absent In. 
bitches (4) Mr. Hunnewell scored first and second, the blue 
coming to his new one, Bushy Bramble, excellent body, coat 
and legs, a bit sharp in muzzle, nice skull and ear. Brunette 
wa,s at Toronto. Petition from the same kennels took re- 
serve, a bit fine in muzzle, excellent bone and front and 
plenty of coat but a trifle long in body. Roche Tacit, out of 
shape, was vhc St. Trick, a smart puppv by Brittle, was 
alone in puppy dogs, and the Hill Hurst Kennels supplied 
the winners in bitches with Brunette and Vamp. 
Irish Terriers (James Mortimer, Judge).— A capital 
show, but most of the winners are well known. Challenge 
dogs brought out six, and it does seem a travesty on wins 
that count when such a lot should come forward to battle for 
a solitary prize of $10. Merle Grady won nicely over Jack- 
anapes, who is not so clean in skull and cheek as he used to 
be; reserve to Brickbat, Jr., and vhc. to Crib and Boxer IV., 
and rightly placed. Candor, well shown, was the only repre- 
sentative in the corresponding class for her sex Open dogs 
were poor, Mr. Comstock getting the ribbon with Hanover 
Boy and His Honor, both old customers. Brevety, vhc, is 
light in eye and ears are too large; soft in coat and stop 
should be flatter. Shamus is leggy and feet are open. John 
Briggs, a neat terrier, should have had something; his skull 
is broad; more rib would be better and his coat should be 
harder. In bitches (2) Bella Rush, slack in back and not 
very good in front, was alone, and won, Judy being absent. 
Boston Terriers (TF. C. Hook, Judge).— There were nine 
dogs in the open heavy dog class and two in bitches, three in 
light-weight dogs and two in bitches and two in puppies. As 
we can make neither head nor tail, especially head, of the 
decisions in these classes, we let the awards stand without 
quibble. That the judge was well up in the breed is palpable, 
for in addition to the numbers of the winners in the judging 
book he also gaye their names, a familiarity with the breed 
that proved his judicial acumen. 
Black and Tan Terriers (James Mortimer, Judge).— 
Broomfield Sultan and Gypsey Girl again in the challenge 
class. Old Jasper came forward once more in open dogs; his 
only opponent was a toy, which was transferred to the toy 
terrier class. Jasper is getting very coarse. Lady Prudence, 
the Boston winner, was the only one in the bitch class, the 
others being toys. The toy terriers were of the usual order. 
Skte Terriers (John Davidson, Judge).— Most of them 
are well known and need no comment except that there was 
a shortness of coat all round. Sir Thomas took the challenge 
prize and Rhoderick Dim won in dogs and bitches (4), Lady 
Stafford coming second and Nelly, reserve, faulty in ears and 
out of coat. 
Scottish Terriers (James Mortimer, Judge).— Rhudaman 
beat Kilroy in style and condition for the challenge prize. In 
the open classes the awards followed Toronto. Burton Bit- 
ters, vhc in bitches, is weak in face, otherwise a fair stamp. 
Dandie Dinmonts (James Mortimer, Judge).— Heather 
Daisy beat Amphion, but I prefer the dog, longer in body and 
better head, and the bitch was short of coat. In open dogs 
Heather Deacon won, light in body and very crooked in 
front, but nice long, strong head; second withheld. Mr. 
Brooks showed some home-bred ones by Amphion, but they 
are not up to the mark. Maggie, first, beats Mary in front, 
but is not so strong and well shaped in head. Gyp V. looked 
weedy. 
Bedlington Terriers (James Mortimer. Judge).— Chem- 
ist had no difficulty in beating Beechgrove Leader, a puppy, 
but the latter's owner won the blue with Beechgrove Blue 
Belle in the bitch class over Iui Va La, vhc, who was out of 
it altogether, and second was withheld from her. 
Dachshund entries were absent, and the Yorkshires were 
so poor that no awards were made. 
Pugs (James Mortimer, Judge).— Attraction was far 
away the best pug on the bench and took the challenge prize 
without competition, while prizes were withheld in open 
dogs. Belle D., shorter in muzzle, lower on the leg and 
better bodied, took first from Daisy Belle, the Toronto win • 
ner. 
Tot Spaniels (James Mortimer, Judge).— The Japanese 
spaniel entry was absent. In the King Charles class first 
went to the well known Boston dog, Cockney Charlie, who 
beats Minnie in skull and muzzle very much, was nicely 
shown. King of the Charlies, that could smother both, was 
absent, and so was Old Gold in the bitch class. 
Chesapeake Bat Dogs (John Davidson, Judge).— The 
same old faces and a perusal of the prize list will convey as 
much information as we can do. Cleveland's win makes 
him a champion. 
Poodles (Jomes MoHvmer, Judge) | Only a fair showing. 
First went to Leo in cordeds, needs trimming and more flesh. 
Beauty, an untrimmed one, was second, arid Paris, getting 
in better shape, vhc, all were short in cords and unkempt. 
In the curly-coated class Hill Hurst Nap and Ithel took the 
prizes, both are well known now, and H. H. Posey, vhc, was 
at Toronto last week. The nice curl and trim the Hill Hurst 
poodles are shown in should be imitated by other poodle 
owners. The Meadowmere entries were absent. One fair 
schipperke was shown in Lotze II., big in ear and deficient in 
frill. 
Miscellaneous Class (John Davidson, Judge).— This 
was divided. Drayman, the basset, won in heavys, with a ter- 
rier called Frank second, and the Chinese, Too-Too, 
reserve. Spring, the well known Italian greyhound, also 
took first, and a toy terrier, Tiny, second.
