Mischief went on a visit to Facey Romford before sailing. 
There are two good bob-tails in the party, Boxer III., 
a good-sized dog of much merit, and Mayoress of 
Newport. There is one black and tan terrier bitch 
named Surrey Gem, and fonr schipperkes, one of 
which has been put to Mephisto. The hound family 
is represented by three beagles from Mr. Joachim's kennel, 
thev are Ringleader, Raffler and Robino, and in their pedi- 
grees combine the blood of the only two champion beagles in 
England. From Mr. Krehl's kennel Mr. Mortimer has 
taken the stud and show Irish terrier Brian O'K., and the 
■wire-haired fox-terrier Marden. The party is completed by 
a team of foreigners, eleven black poodles of the "fuzzy" 
kind. Since Mr. Mortimer bid us adieu we have received a 
letter from the Parisian vendor of the poodles to whom we 
gave Mr. M. a letter of introduction. This person writes: 
'Mr. Mortimer peut se flatter d'avoir 6te servi en ami, tous 
sont des sujects de premier choix.' So that is all right." 
Mr. Mortimer tells us that Lady Eva, the Irish terrier he 
purchased, did not prove in whelp after all. 
American Kennel Club Meeting. 
The regular quarterly meeting of the executive committee of the 
American Kennel Club was held at Delmonico's on Monday, Sept. 17, 
at 8 P. M., Vice-President T. H. Terry presiding. Present: Associa- 
ate members, T. H. Terry, Dr. H. T. Foote, A. C. Wilmerding; Ameri- 
can Spaniel Club, E. M. Oldham; Brunswick Fur Club, N. Q. Pope; 
Gordon Setter Club of America, James B. Blossom; Mascoucah Ken- 
nel Club, C. F. R. Drake; National Beagle Club, H. F. Schellhass; New- 
England K<mnel Club, Edward Brooks; New Jersey Kennel Club, E. 
H. Morris; Omaha Kennel Club, Dr. M. H. Cryer; Southern California 
Kennel Club, James Watson; St. Louis Kennel Club, J. M. Taylor. 
Credentials were read of the following named delegates to represent 
the following named clubs: Francis G. Taylor, the Philadelphia Ken- 
nel Club; James Robinson, the Saratoga Poultry and Kennel Club; 
Frederic S. Webster, the Northwestern Beagle Club of America, and 
CharleB Heath, the Pointer Club of America. On motion the creden- 
tials were approved, and the delegates' names accepted. 
The secretary's report was read, and on motion was accepted and 
placed on file. The same is as follows: 
New York, Sept. 15.— I beg to submit an application from the Pitts- 
burgh Athletic Club Kennel of Pittsburgh, Pa., for admission to mem- 
bership in tbe American Kennel Club. All of our requirements have 
been complied with and tbe club so far as its constitution is concerned 
is eligible to membership. This club has just held its initial show, oc- 
curring upon tbe same date as the show of the Toronto Kennel Club, 
against which the Canadian Kennel Club by resolution has filed a pro- 
test with me. Under the present order of things the American Kennel 
Club does not protect show dates, and in case the Pitsburgh Athletic 
Club Kennel had been a member, we could not have rendered the 
Toronto Club any assistance. The only objection that can be pre- 
sented is, that we already have on our list of members a club in good 
standing hailing from the same city, and holding a show therein, and 
according to precedent we must protect that club against the recog- 
nition by us of any other club in that territory. 
We have a communication from the National Beagle Club of 
America, requesting tbat said club be given a place on our field trials 
and coursing meetings committee. The request should be complied 
with. At our last meeting the Akron Poultry and Kennel Club was 
given thirty days to pay its prizes awarded at its last show or the 
officers would be disqualified in default thereof. No reply has been 
received. By resolution at our last meeting, Mr. E. P. Schell was given 
thirty days to file his defence against the action of the Pacific Kennel 
Club, in answer to his expulsion from that club for cause. Under date 
of May 30, 1894, Mr. Schell filed his defence, together with documentary 
testimony in his behalf. 
In accordance with your resolution I mailed to each delegate a copy 
of the proposed rules governing registrations, and now I present them 
for final action. 
T. A. Howard has filed an appeal from the decision of the Louisville 
Kennel Club in the matter of an award of a special handlers' prize at 
its late show. The Louisville Kennel Club has filed its answer to this 
appeal. 
Charges have been filed against the Philadelphia Kennel Club for 
non-payment of prizes at its late show, by two exhibitors— Messrs. B. 
Alton Smith and Robert Dudley Winthrop. The secretary promised 
that these claims would be met the first of the current month. 
I beg to call your attention to a letter from Mr. T. A. Howard, the 
delegate from the Columbus Fanciers' Club, as published Aug. 10, and 
would recommend prompt official action by this club in the matter. 
At the meeting of the advisory committee, held May 3, 1894, in the 
case of Martin vs. Bell, it was ordered "that George Bell be and is 
hereby disqualified for the term of one year from this date, the com- 
mittee having found him guilty of misconduct." 
During the investigation by the secretary's office it was ascertained 
that Bell had not sent Martin the particular animal that he had sold 
to him, and after Bell had been aavised that such was the case, some 
time in September, 1893, he never offered to rectify the matter, nor did 
he inform Martin of it. This is a mucb more serious case than the 
one for which Bell was disqualified. It might have caused the stud 
book to publish pedigrees, as Martin had already bred the bitch, sup- 
posing it to be the bitch he had paid for, and the stud book would 
have accepted the application of Martin for the registration of the 
puppies. In view of this information, I would recommend that this 
meeting should instruct me to prefer charges against Bell to the 
Canadian Kennel Club. 
Applications have been filed for the following prefixes: Woodlawn 
Park Kennels, for "Woodlawn Park;" James Ferris Belt, for "Wawa- 
set;" E. K. Butler, Jr., for "Banty;" Theodore Sturges and Charles 
H. Phelps, for "Eldred;" O. W. Donner, for "Milton." 
A. P. Vredenburgh. Secretary. 
The treasurer's report was also read, and on motion accepted, and 
is as follows: 
New York, Sept. 15.— I beg to submit herewith my quarterly report 
of all money 8 received ana disbursed by me during the year 1894:-

A. P. Vredenburgh, Treasurer. 
The report of the advisory committee was read by the secretary, 
and on motion received and placed on file. The same is as follows: 
Meeting of advisory committee, held May 4, 1894. Present: Messrs. 
Terry, Brooks and Cromwell. In the matter of Preston vs. Morris, 
the committee having been notified by the parties in interest that it 
was in litigation, it was on motion ordered that the committee deem it 
inadvisable, and do hereby decline to act pending the decision of the 
courts. 
Mr. James Watson, chairman of the stud book committee, reported 
as follows: 
Nbw York, Sept. 17.— The stud book committee reports as follows 
as to matters passed upon since the last meeting. 
Beagle dog Louie Fuz Lee (26,164).— Tbe owner of the dog gives 
notice ofcjpnher information regarding its pedigree, and asks whether 
the registration will be allowed to stand. He further states that he 
is advised that persons aware of these facts will take advantage of 
their knowledge and seek the disqualification of his dog at the field 
trials. The inrormation is that in the dam's pedigree there is a fox- 
hound cross in the fourth generation, and in the sixth generation it is 
stated that pointer blood was introduced. Louie Fitz-Lee has been 
very successiul in beagle trials, and has therefore been used a good 
deal at stud. From a photograph of the dog, it is very evident that 
he shows nothing but beagle characteristics. Your committee is of 
the opinion that it would not be well to disturb this registration. We 
register dogs with nothing whatever beyond the third generation, and 
in this case the alleged pointer cross, no name of dog or owner being 
given, is a very remote one, while foxhounds are at least hounds, 
differing practically only in size from the beagles. This view is also 
that held by several members of the Beagle Club pedigree committee, 
to whom, should our recommendation be sustained, the pedigree will 
be returned as there is yet a little discrepancy as to names, and when 
straightened out a new registration will be ordered. 
English setter Ben C. (26,416).— The breeder of Ben 0., four months 
after the dog had been registered by Joy Bros, informed the A. K. C. 
that the pedigree was questionable. In response, the present owners 
volunteered a mass of testimony from reputable citizens of Huron, 
South Dakota, which conclusively established the fact that Ben C.'s 
pedigree had never been reported in any other way by the breeder, C. 
M. Wilson, to the man to whom he sold the dog, nor his subsequent 
owners. All agree that the present statement is made for the pur- 
pose of injuring the Joy Brothers in their breeding and sale of English 
Betters. Wilson has produced no testimony in response, although 
advised that he could do so, and your committee recommends that 
the pedigree stand, and C. M. Wilson, of Huron, S. D., be suspended 
from all privileges of the American Kennel Club. 
St. Bernard Lady Gladys (23,043).— An objection was lodged by Mr. 
A. Russell Crowell to the registration of this bitch on the ground that 
Valour, the well known English St. Bernard (sire of- Mr. Crowell's 
Nanon), is not the sire of Lady Gladys, and that the pedigree is there- 
fore fraudulent. There is no suggestion in the extended pedigree that 
the same Valour is meant. In fact, the pedigree, bo far as the blood 
lines is concerned, is valueless, being made up of unknown dogs. The 
St. Bernard Club committee has, however, passed the pedigree, and 
we are not disposed to upset it. Lady Gladys, having won at Pacific 
Coast shows, has claims to recognition, and we recommend that the 
objection be not allowed. 
We have still in our possession the case of E. P. Schell, for alleged 
fraudulent pedigrees. This is practically the same case as that now 
ordered before the advisory committee, and we abstain from taking 
action thereon pending the advisory committee's decision. 
J as. Watson. Chairman Stud Book Committee. 
The recommendations contained in the above report, were adopted. 
Mr. Vredenburgh— It being in order, I submit the application of the 
Pittsburgh Athletic Club Kennel, of Pittsburgh, Pa., for admission to 
membership in the American Kennel Club. 
Dr. Cryer moved that it be accepted, and stated that the Duquesne 
Kennel Club of that city was already a member of the A K. C. and 
said that this is the second season that the Duquesne Kennel Club has 
omitted holding a show. 
Mr. Mortimer— I move that the application be not accepted. 
Motion seconded and carried. The original motion was lost. 
In regard to the communication from the National Beagle Club of • 
America, requesting that said club be given a place on the field trials 
and coursing meeting committee, on Major Taylor's motion Mr. H. F. 
Schellhass was elected to fill the vacancy, representing the National 
Beagle Club. 
The secretary called attention to the communication from Spratts 
Patent, requesting permission of the American Kennel Club to publish 
electrotype reductions of pictures of dogs as published in the supple- 
ments of the Kennel Gazette, and stated that they had notified Spratts 
Patent that their proposition would be submitted at the next meeting 
of the club. After discussion the request was granted, provided they 
secure owners of dogs' consent. 
The Secretary— At the last meeting the Akron Kennel and Poultry 
Club was given thirty days' notice to pay its prizes. There was a 
charge made against the club by W. L. Washington to the effect that he 
had "not received his prizes. Tbe secretary notified said club of the 
resolution of this club, adopted at the last meeting, to which they have 
paid no attention. The Akron Club has been dropped from our roll of 
membership for non-payment of last year's dues, and the resolution 
adopted at the last meeting was to the effect that if these prizes were 
not paid within thirty days the officers of said club should be disquali- 
fied. It was so ordered. 
The case of Mr. E. P. Schell was referred to the advisory committee. 
The next order of business being the adoption of the rules govern- 
ing registration, the secretary read the rules, which, after discussion, 
were adopted: 
1. A dog is eligible for registration in the A. K. C. stud book under 
either of the following conditions: 
(a). If it has a full pedigree for three generations, or traces to a 
registered dog when the pedigree is not so extended, 
(6). If it has won two first prizes in open classes at a recognized 
show. 
2. No change in a dog's name shall be permitted after it has been 
published in the annual volume of the stud book. 
3. In the event of change of ownership a dog may be entered in a 
subsequent volume of the stud book, but a new number shall not be 
assigned to it, reference being made to the old number and volume in 
which the dog is registered. 
4. No list of awards shall be given in connection with a registration, 
except in the case of a dog only eligible under condition 6 of rule 1, in 
which case reference shall be made to that fact, and tbe dog's wins 
necessary to entitle him to registration shall be quoted. 
5. No kennel name shall be given as owner or breeder of a dog unless 
such name has been registered with the American Kennel Club. The 
right to be considered the breeder of a dog remains always with the 
individual or partnership owning or leasing the dam at the time of her 
being bred. 
The request of E. H. Morris to be relieved from the committee on 
transportation was brought up, in connection with which Mr. Morris 
recommended that the committee should be continued, with the addi- 
tion of two or three more members. 
Mr. Mortimer moved that the original committee be retained, and 
that some other member be appointed in the place of Dr. Foote, who 
resigned from said committee. Motion carried. 
The appeal of Mr. T. A. Howard from the decision of the Louisville 
Kennel Club in the matter of an award of a special prize at its last 
show, was referred to the advisory committee. 
In regard to the charges filed against the Philadelphia Kennel Club 
for non- payment of prizes at its show, the secretary stated that he 
had received a letter from the secretary of the Philadelphia Kennel 
Club stating the claims of the three gentlemen who filed the charges 
had been settled, as well as all others of which they had any know- 
ledge; that the delay in paying said prizes had been caused by the 
absence of the secretary of Baid club for some weeks, but that as soon 
as he had returned and had received knowledge of any complaints 
against the club, said claims had been settled immediately. This was 
considered satisfactory. 
The matter of the letter from T. A. Howard, the delegate from the 
Columbus Fanciers' Club, as published, was brought up for action, and 
same on motion was referred to the advisory committee. 
Concerning the charges made by Martin against Bell, in connection 
with which said George Bell was disqualified for one year, Major Tay- 
lor moved the absolute disqualification of Mr. Bell at this meeting. 
Dr. Cryer moved that the secretary be directed to prefer charges 
against Mr Bell. Motion seconded and carried. 
Applications for prefixes were on motion granted as follows: Wood- 
lawn Park Kennels, for "Woodlawn Park;" James Ferris Belt, for 
"Wawaset;" E. K. Butler, Jr., for "Banty;" Theodore Sturges and 
Chas. H. Phelps, for "Eldred;" O. W. Donner, for "Milton." 
The Secretary.— I desire to call your attention to the fact; that we 
have had a very valuable addition to our records Mr. Watson has 
presented us with almost a complete set of catalogues from the year 
1877 up to date for all shows held in this country. A vote of thanks 
was extended to Mr. Watson. 
Meeting adjourned. 
The delegates and visitors then passed into an adjoining room, 
where a cold collation with champagne was served. Mr. Terry was 
the toastmaster and called upon those who were expected to speak in 
the following order, their healths being previously drank in flowing 
bumpers: 
Introductory— "The growth and increasing popularity of our kennel 
interests"— August Belmont. The American Kennel Club— "The com- 
pletion of its first decade"— Alfred P. Vredenburgh. Our ex-officers— 
"Though few in numbers, their support and advice are both valuable 
and invited"— Elliot Smith. Our ex-delegates -"Though absent in 
person, we trust they will ever be present with us in spirit"— James L. 
Anthony. Our associate members— "One ot the sources of our 
strength" — Edward Brooks. The press— "The instructor of the 
people"— James M. Taylor, 
We regret exceedingly that the space taken up by the show reports 
and other news matter prevented our publisuing the speeches in full. 
Canadian Kennel Club's Annual Meeting. 
The annual meeting of the C. K. C. was held in Richmond Hall 
Toronto, on the evening of Sept. 12, President Dr. J. S. Niven in the 
chair, and a large number of members present. The president spoke 
at some length on the affairs of the club and said the most important 
business to come before the meeting to-night was the proposed agree- 
ment with the A. K. C. Minutes of last annual meeting read and 
adopted. 
Secretary-treasurer's report as follows read and adopted, subject to 
official audit, auditors to report at next meeting of the executive. 
secretary-treasurer's report. 
Registrations. — The total number of registrations is now 3,576, 
number made during year ending Aug. 31, 1894, 532, number made 
during year ending Aug. 81, 1893, 868, showing a decline of 336. This 
is as was expected owing to the withdrawing of the free registration 
privileges. 
Duty on Dogs. — I understand the duty on thoroughbred dogs com- 
ing into Canada for breeding purposes has been removed, though 
there seems as yet to be no clear understanding with the Customs 
authorities as to this, as the following correspondence will show. 
No doubt your executive will at once take steps to have this put right: 
Toronto, Aug. 31, 1894.— Jno. Small, Esq., Collector of Customs, 
Toronto: Would you kindly inform me what form is necessary to 
pass dogs free, as I understand the duty has now been removed, arid 
greatly oblige, H. B. Donovan, Sec.-Treas. 
Toronto, Sept. 6, 1894.— R. B. Donovan, Esq; In further reference 
to your inquiry re the free admission of dogs for breeding purposes or 
the improvement of stock, item No. 491, Schedule B, free goods in- 
cludes dogs, but the Treasury Board has not yet, as far as I know, 
made any regulation governing their admission. The regulation or 
Order in Council passed on Nov. 8, 1887, does not include dogs. Until 
an Order in Council or Retulation by the Treasury Board is made 
governing the admission of dogs, I do not well see how a free entry 
can be accepted. Thos. McLean, Chief Clerk. 
Membership. The membership roll stands as follows: 
Number paid for year ending Aug. 31, 1894 143 
Number paid for year ending Aug. 31, 1895 18 
Agreement with the A. K. C— This matter with the correspondence 
and draft of agreement already published will be brought before you 
for final decision. This I believe to be the turning point in the club's 
career and both sides of the question deserve the most careful discus- 
sion. I do not feel it is my place to advise as to a decision in either 
way. 
Finances.— Following will be found the financial statement for the 
year. I am sorry to report a deficit, though but a small one:

Wetherall and Klein, it was discussed clause by clause. 
Clause 3 (Bench Show Rules) rejected. Clause 5 (Delegates) made

end of clause "the A K. C. to be accorded like privileges." Clause 7

and Mr. Wetherall, the first line was changed to read, "The C. K. C.

ANSWERS TO CORRESPONDENTS. 
There is no charge for answering questions under this head. All 
questions relating to ailments of dogs will be answered by Dr. T. <?. 
Sheruiood, a member of the Royal College of Veterinary Surgeons. 
Communications referring to other matters connected with Kennel 
Management and dogs will also receive careful attention. 
J. W. B.. Danvers, Mass.— My poiDter dog gets used up after a few 
hours' work, with sore teet and scratches. Is there any way I can 
harden his feet by an application, and tell me the best wash to use on 
his feet after a day's hunting; also how to rid the dog of fleas Ans. 
Soak the feet for ten minutes twice a day in a solution of creolin (1 to 
40); afterward apply the following ointment: 
R Ichthylo 3 ii. 
Bismuth sub nit 3 iss. 
Mg. zinci 5 iss. 
Mix. Sig. Apply to sore twice a day. For fleas, when washing 
the dog, add a pint or more of kerosene to the water or rub him all 
over with a mixture of one pint of kerosene and two pints of cotton- 
seed oil. 
E. J., Boston, Mass.— Write to Netherwood Farm Kennels, Plain- 
field, N. J. 
J. M., Irvington, N. Y.— My Irish setter dog has a habit of suddenly 
dashing out of hi« kennel and howling as if in pain, and at the same 
time sitting on his haunches, and his belly works as if in convulsions. 
Then he will wind up with licking his jaws and lying down, as if re- 
lieved. The dog is about six years old. Ans. treat for worms. 
G. S. B., Newport News, Va, — 1. I have two setter dogs. One has 
an occasional involuntary discharge of urine of a milky appearance, 
and sometimes blood in the same manner. He has been in that condi- 
tion for a year or more. The blood and urine come in drpps. 2. The 
other one has a skin disease, which commenced three years ago on his 
stern around the roots of his tail, and turned the hair red and it has 
come off in spots. There are hard lumps under the skin where it is 
bare. It has now spread over different parts of the body. He is 
scratching continually. Ans. 1. Without a personal examination we 
cannot advise you on this. 2. Treat for worms. Give following mix- 
ture: 
B; Mag. sulph ?i 
Ferri sulp 31 
Acid sulph. dil 3i
